Chapter 1342- Rebuilding Dragonslayer Fortress

“But how to split Hybrid Demon Territory into two? Start from where?” Frost questioned.
I helped Pearl to a warm chair and took a bowl of warm porridge to feed her. Her soul was just released and her body was changing from undead to a live body. Although she still contained intense death energy but she was alive. Such people needed food, even gods like Frost needed food too.
“Do you remember Dragonslayer Fortress?” I smiled and asked.
Frost was shocked, “Of course, but it has been turned to dust after Azure’s large-scale assault, it should be hard to build it again right?”
I smiled, “Actually it is not so tough, it depends on whether we want it or not. Tian Ling Empire is in charge of all land which means that all resources are in our hands. We can gather many people to rebuild it and even send troops to defend it. We won’t spend much time at all.”
Pearl was shocked, “Xiao Yao, you are saying to use the empire’s troops to help me fight against the army of the north?”
“En.”
I sucked in a deep breath, “I just need you to battle with Qin Ge and Sif and our sacrifices are worth it. I have lost the position of The Executor but the orders have not been given. Let’s strike out using this chance if not it might be too late.”
I said to Tan Taiyu, “Tan Taiyu listen up!”
He cupped his fists, “The Executor please give me your orders!”
“How many troops are there around Tian Ling City?”
“Apart from those that we need to defend the city, there are around 400 thousand that can be moved. If Sir wants to gather the people, we can gather around a million.”
“Okay, I shall leave that to you. Move troops to cross Dragon City and enter Draognslayer Fortress. Before it is completed don’t remove the troops. Try to get as many people and use Tian Ling City’s resources. Try to build a new fortress in the shortest amount of time.”
“Yes!”
Frost smiled, “No need to worry, Dragon City has close to 400 thousand troops, I will move half and let Queen Zhi Shu and Odelia to help defend.”
“En, that is the best.”
Pearl drank another mouth and smiled, “Thank you everyone!”
……
Not long later, Pearl’s body recovered well and Tan Taiyu took a beige robe for her to make her look more and more like a princess. When Frost and I walked out from the ice cavern with her, a bunch of guards knelt down, “Your Highness Pearl!”
The officials at the hall were lined up and I pointed at the throne, “Lochlan isn’t here, Pearl you have the most power so go ahead.”
She shook her head and grabbed my hand to pull me to the side. She stood at the side and there was no one on the throne, “Lochlan is the ruler, as a cousin, I won’t supersede him!”
“En.” I smiled, that is great. If Pearl was unhappy and wanted to be the ruler, it would become another calamity.
In the crowd, an old official stepped out and his voice shook, “Your Highness… I didn't expect you to recover, that is the good fortune of Tian Ling City. Emperor Owen’s soul will feel happy about that. Your Highness, this world belongs to the Luoke family, please stay and take over as emperor to become the head of Tian Ling City!”
Pearl looked at the old man and said, “Oh, it is Lan Yi Marquis… You were an official for my father so why are you still trying to stir trouble? Tian Ling City needs rest and peace, if I take over, what would happen to Lochlan? Don’t forget that he is the real ruler!”
He was really emotional and his voice shook, “Lochlan is an illegitimate son brought back by his father from the north, I am unhappy with him becoming king. Now that you recovered, how can he continue to be king? Your Highness, you are the proper ruler and bloodline!”
Pearl bit her lips, “Marquis Lanyi… How can you say such things?”
He cupped his fists and knelt down, “Your Highness, I am willing to die for my words. As long as you take over and inherit the throne, so what if I die? Please Your Highness!”
He and the two old officials behind him knelt down.
The three of them didn’t appear in the other meetings. Now that Lochlan was out, they actually popped up.
The moment people from the old faction appeared, those of the new faction didn’t hold back. Tan Taiyu pulled his sword out a little and shouted, “Marquis Lanyi you old fellow, Lochlan treats you well. How can you try to change rulers when he is out patrolling? You old thing, I will send you to hell!”
The three of them were shocked.
All the generals and officials looked toward me. Ou Zhizi shouted, “The Executor! Say something, if this continues Tian Ling City will become a mess. You are The Executor and also the Suiding Duke, you can make decisions!”
I nodded and said calmly, “Don’t worry, Her Highness Pearl won’t remain here, she will head back north to build an empire to fight the Hybrid Demons.”
Marquis Lanyi cupped his fists, “The Executor, we are willing to follow her to the north!”
“No, you won’t have the chance.”
I smiled coldly, “If you all really followed her, you will make her use troops to capture Tian Ling City. Men, drag him and the two officials out and behead them!”
The few soldiers charged out.
Marquis Lanyi shook in fear, “Mercy, Your Highness Pearl mercy!”
Pearl frowned, “Xiaoyao, can you give father face and… Let them live?”
I smiled, “Then because of the old emperor, I will let them live. But remember, the only ruler is Lochlan. This is the rule of the Luoke family, Lochlan is the descendent and Pearl’s cousin. Whoever tries to start a fight will be my enemy, I won’t let them off.”
Marquis Lanyi nodded, “I don’t dare, I won’t dare!”
“That’s good you are all abled people to rule cities so follow Pearl to the north. I hope you can focus on helping Pearl, understood?”
“Yes, we will follow The Executor’s words!”
Pearl looked at everything that I did and she laughed. Even Frost showed a smile of approval. This was how to use people, we had to threaten such officials that wanted to rebel if not they would stir up more trouble. When I wasn’t The Executor, that would become a problem and that would be me leaving a huge problem for Uncle Yan Zhao. He might even tell me, “Li Xiao Yao take the power back, I have had enough”.
……
11pm, Royal Army, Heaven Barrier Army, Fire Dragon Army etc crossed Dragon City with large amounts of resources. At the same time, stone smiths and woodworkers headed out to start to build an Undead City in the old Dragonslayer Fortress. Pearl was the commander of the hybrid demons and now that she was back, she would stand at the highest part of the old fortress. She shouted towards the north.
Not long later, smoke billowed. Numerous Demon Hall Cavalries and Barbarian Wolf Cavalrymen surged over.
“Wary!”
Tan Taiyu raised his spear and shouted, “Shield formation, archer formation, prepare to face the enemy!”
“Wait.”
I raised my arm, “Tan Taiyu calm down, they won’t attack us.”
“The Executor, why?” He was shocked.
In truth, after they got close they stopped. Although there were some barbarian wolf cavalrymen that roared towards us but they didn’t do anything as they had to wait for Pearl’s orders. Without her orders they wouldn’t do anything.
“Enough!”
Pearl shouted, “Which army are you all from?”
A Barbarian Wolf Cavalrymen with a flower on his shoulder walked forwards and knelt down, “Your Highness, we are from the 7th and 9th army and after we were scattered at Tian Ling City we have been roaming around. When we wanted to return, we found out that Azure’s soul tried to swallow Sif’s body.”
“And then?” Pearl asked fiercely.
He cupped his fists and said, “Sif actually resisted. She used the Illusionary Moon Mirror to counter it and refine Azure’s soul and obtained some of his strength. When Qin Ge found out, she activated four armies to attack Sif.”
“And then?”
“Qin Ge lost and Sif is currently in charge of the 1,3,4,5,6 army. Qin Ge was captured. Her 2,8,10,11 armies were scattered. Over half of the troops have landed in Sif’s hands.”
He stabbed his blade into the ground, “Your Highness Pearl, please take revenge for us and Azure. Kill Sif, she has become king in Blood Mountain Range.”
“Sif is king?”
Pearl smiled, “Scoff, good, I want to have a fight with her here!”
Pearl looked at him, “What is your name?”
“I am the deputy leader of the 7th army, Shi Linka!”
“Good, I will make you the general, leave your 7th and 9th armies here and lead a portion out to collect Qin Ge’s 4 armies. Try to bring more back. We will use Dragonslayer Fortress as our foundation to fight Sif. Do you understand?”
“Yes!”
Shi Linka nodded and then pointed at the humans, “Your Highness, why are you with these human ants, why are they here?”
