The Demon Lord System
Chapter 199: Journey I
From a few days ago, the King had ordered the higher-ups of the kingdom to prepare about two thousand soldiers, only that the soldiers should be gold-capable. Two thousand gold-level warriors was not a small number, the Diamond kingdom only had a thousand master-level troops and five Grand master-level generals.
ㅤ
Sending two thousand gold-level warriors along with several master-levels at least reduced the kingdom's combat power for a while now. All the soldiers gathered were to help General Xan Zhang and his comrades.
ㅤ
“Layla has General Xan and his colleagues come?” Leaves asked.
Layla who was in front of King Leaf shook her head, she then said they were still on their way here.
The Leaf King could only sigh while leaning his body on his throne.
**
It had been two days from Ling Chen's meeting with the Diamond kingdom King, he was currently leisurely walking towards the kingdom. But not unexpectedly, on his way to the kingdom, many good foods were found in the capital, leaving Ling Chen stifled for several hours.
ㅤ
Levi kept his mouth shut not wanting to protest against his master's behavior, while Arthur and Xan Zhang also enjoyed the snacks bought by Ling Chen, only Kurumi herself slightly reprimanded Ling Chen's behavior.
ㅤ
“Master next time you should focus more, King Leaf has prepared an army for us, if we want to have a close relationship, we should also as soon as possible help them.”
ㅤ
“Hmm that? Well fine next time I won't repeat it again.”
ㅤ
“Then master, we'd better fly to the kingdom immediately. They've been waiting too long.” Kurumi.
ㅤ
“You're right, then use invisible first then fly.” Ling Chen suggested.
ㅤ
Kurumi and the others nodded in understanding they then became invisible and immediately flew to the kingdom.
**
It didn't take long for Ling Chen and his pillars to arrive at the kingdom, they could see a bunch of silver-armored warriors and some were golden.
ㅤ
The Leaf King was also among them staring at Ling Chen and the others descending from the sky.
ㅤ
After descending, the first thing Ling Chen did was to apologize for the delay. However it seemed like the King was too unwilling to make Ling Chen feel guilty.
ㅤ
‘Could it be because of that time he felt the aura of Levi and Kurumi?’ Ling Chen was just the origin of guessing.
ㅤ
After speaking with King Ling Chen obtained a royal-coloured, gold-colored armor. Ling Chen took it and immediately put it on, as well as Levi and the others, for Xan Zhang, he should have also obtained gold armor from the kingdom. But the troops who were with Xan Zhang said the armor only made Xan Zhang uncomfortable.
ㅤ
So therefore Xan Zhang did not wear it, but since Ling Chen was currently wearing it, he was also wearing the armor.
ㅤ
The real king had not only prepared a suit of armor, he had also prepared various things for Ling Chen and the others, such as preparing a mighty horse for the leaders of the army.
ㅤ
For Xan Zhang, he was also able to ride a horse because he had mastered his strength. Unlike when he was riding the horse that the people of Bhaki kingdom gave him, the horse was instantly broken.
ㅤ
**
Among them were also people who were gossiping about General Xan Zhang being non-human, as they were thinking how could ordinary humans defeat the red spear organization.
ㅤ
Ling Chen was a little surprised because Kurumi once told this organization was so powerful and ruthless, they usually shot arrows that contained poison typical of their organization.
ㅤ
Ling Chen glanced at Xan Zhang, he smiled faintly, well no matter how Xan Zhang is an Undead. He would not feel any pain but since it seemed like he currently had blood, flesh and nerves, Xan Zhang might receive a slight impact.
ㅤ
While walking on horseback with two thousand troops behind, Ling Chen felt nostalgic. Ling Chen recalled the incident where the first time he led his army to war, something that was very unpleasant to remember, despite winning, in fact, Ling Chen's army also took a lot of casualties.
ㅤ
“But that was then, with my current strength I am sure I can surpass the war. Although actually only want five, but the King seems to also want to help us.” Ling Chen realized, The King is a pretty good-natured figure, Ling Chen glanced to his right as it felt killing intent, ‘What's wrong with him?’
ㅤ
Kurumi stopped the time around, instantly everyone fell silent without a sound. Kurumi got off her horse carriage and killed the person who was issuing killing intent, there were several other people who were also issuing killing intent, Ling Chen suggested for Kurumi to bring at least one and interrogate her on the way. Besides Kurumi can kill them or absorb their blood.
ㅤ
“Yes actually I intend to refuse because drinking the blood of the person who directed the killing intent to the master is very presumptuous, but if that is the wish of the master I will do it.”.
ㅤ
Kurumi sucks everyone who gives off murderous intent and one by one a dried corpse is thrown into a small alley. It was only after that that Kurumi climbed back up her horse by putting one person in the carriage where the troops kept the arrows.
**
Ling Chen and his troops came to a halt after three hours of walking on horseback, they were currently quite exhausted, coincidentally there was a river near them. Seeing the soldiers walking into the river and drinking water there, Ling Chen decided to stay for a while here, then continued on his way.
ㅤ
Ling Chen also took water from the river and drank it, the water in the river was very clear and had no smell.
ㅤ
The troops set up makeshift tents for lunch, some of whom had wives at home. Therefore they ate the lunch, Ling Chen smiled he also got the provisions Rafaela made.
ㅤ
Ling Chen started to open his provisions and sat down beside the golden-armored warrior.
ㅤ
“Eh, Mr Chen has a wife? What's your wife putting in?”
ㅤ
Ling Chen choked on his breath, only this time it was called like that.
ㅤ
“Ah this is not from my wife, and by the way your name is Drake isn't it?”
ㅤ
“Master need not be ashamed and need not change the subject, I know you want to hide the truth of being married at a young age. But I respect Mr. Chen's question, well my name is Drake. I'm a southern division lieutenant supposed.”
ㅤ
Ling Chen eventually relented and chose to accept that he had a wife.
ㅤ
Ling Chen started picking up chopsticks and eating the provisions Rafaela had prepared, while occasionally asking Drake, Ling Chen laughed because besides being great at fighting, it seemed like Drake had a talent for making people laugh.
