Chapter 28 Responsibilities
"What?"
Xia Xu suddenly stood up. At this stage, it was impossible for the orcs to launch an offensive. In this case, could it be...
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Meng'er hurriedly ran in, with worry written on her face: "It's not good, Master. Those people..."
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Xia Xu had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, "Speak slowly."
"This..." Meng'er looked at Zhuo Yiling, paused, and said, "Those people, led by Deputy General Xiao, started to rebel!"
"Rebellion?" After hearing this, Zhuo Yiling couldn't sit still. "It's impossible for those people to betray the Great Xia Dynasty. How can they rebel?"
"Maybe it's aimed at you." Xia Xu turned his head and said to Zhuo Yiling, "You should have heard the rumors in the past few days. Presumably, they want to suppress you. So,
I feel sorry for you."
With that said, he walked towards the door: "I'll take care of it."
"No..." Zhuo Yiling suddenly approached Xia Xu, motioned for him to step aside, and stepped forward alone, "My subordinates' objections are my responsibility."
At that moment, Zhuo Yiling's already somewhat old armor seemed to suddenly become gleaming. Under the reflection of the blizzard outside, there was a sacred aura spontaneously emerging.
When the girl was having fun, she chose to take on such an important responsibility alone. The thick armor was like a huge responsibility, covering her long hair and hiding her beauty.
And she did not disgrace this responsibility.
"Miss Zhuo... no, female general, you have indeed inherited the name of the military saint who protected the country."
However, after hearing her words, Zhuo Yiling's expression suddenly changed: "You... know about my father?"
"In the Great Xia Dynasty, who doesn't know the name of Zhuo Lingyan, the Protector of the Nation?" Xia Xu said, "Let's not talk about it for now, they... are coming."
Sure enough, immediately afterwards, I saw a huge black army rushing towards here. They were all excited, and their strength was above that of the Martial Lord. If ordinary people saw such a scene, they would have been frightened.
Meng'er hurriedly pulled Xia Xu's sleeves, "Sir...are we really not going to help her?"
"Don't worry." Looking at the sacred look in front of him, Xia Xu couldn't bear to interrupt, "After all, she is Uncle Zhuo's daughter, and as the leader of the army, she will surely surprise us."
Yes, no one knows how much she has endured in the past few years. She is not a vase-like figure like a rich lady, she is the leader of an army!
Zhuo Yiling suddenly jumped up, stood on the beam and looked down at everyone, and then shouted loudly with her cultivation: "Do you want to rebel?"
"General, we are not against the country, but against you!" Vice General Xiao was the first to bear the brunt. "You are too protective of this boy Yiyi. I am afraid that in a short time, our entire army will be harmed by him, right?"
"Oh? Isn't it true that Yiyi alone resisted so many people from the beast tribe? When did he ever have reactionary intentions?"
"Even so!"
"Shut up. I have never revealed the secrets of the army to him. On the contrary, since he came, he has sent heavy troops to guard him. The dangerous terrain of Shili Valley is not good for our army. He came back victorious with one man's strength, so he should have been rewarded greatly.
But I didn’t give them real power, so why not?”
"This..." The conversation left Deputy General Xiao speechless for a moment, and the others also started talking about it.
"You are rebelling against me just because of all the unnecessary rumors. I am afraid that there will be chaos in the army. Why, will the majestic army of subjugation be stopped by rumors?"
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally didn't know who was taking the lead. They began to kneel down one by one and apologize: "We will always support female generals!"
Seeing the people around him kneeling down one by one, Deputy General Xiao had a very unpleasant look on his face. Then, when he wanted to defend himself, Zhuo Yiling suddenly said sternly: "Vice General Xiao, what do you have to say?"
"I...I..."
"It's just because Yi Qian has done so much, aren't you jealous?"
"I...you are talking nonsense, I am a great lieutenant general, I..."
However, although Lieutenant General Xiao tried his best to hide it, he seemed to be the target of public criticism, and no one around him supported him.
"You...you traitors, didn't you agree...how could you just say a few words..."
However, Deputy General Xiao who said this was extremely embarrassed, standing among the crowd like a clown.
Finally, Zhuo Yiling jumped down from above and said, "Vice General Xiao, I heard that you have a very good son. Please go back and train him properly."
"You...you drove me away? Because of this kid?" He yelled at Zhuo Yiling like crazy.
However, Zhuo Yiling did not confront him again and turned around.
"You...you..."
Suddenly, Deputy Xiao pulled out a knife from his waist and instantly stabbed Zhuo Yiling in the heart.
"Female General!"
"Xiao, what are you going to do?"
"General, watch your back!"
Seeing this, Meng'er was a little anxious, but when she saw Xia Xu's calm expression, she understood something instantly.
Sure enough, the knife did not hit her. Zhuo Yiling twisted her waist and leaned back, perfectly avoiding the blade.
Then, lightning properties emerged from her palms, and she hit Deputy General Xiao with one palm.
Defeated in one blow!
Deputy General Xiao was seen falling back ten meters and spitting out another mouthful of blood. Then, he finally did not dare to say anything and left in despair.
The next second, everyone let out thunderous exclamations, and even more admired Zhuo Yiling.
Moreover, due to the episode just now, Zhuo Yiling's helmet fell to the ground. Without the restraint of the helmet, her long black hair was instantly spread out in the fierce wind and snow.
The blizzard stained her hair, like plum blossoms swaying in the wind.
This look...so beautiful.
The girl who took off her armor quickly put on her helmet to cover up her rare beauty.
"Everyone, please listen to me."
Zhuo Yiling turned her head and put on her makeup.
"My father is injured, and he has more energy than strength. Therefore, I will risk my life to inherit my father's wish and protect this army of subjugation until the end of my life. Moreover, even if it is for the prince, I will always protect this place.
From now on, please do not question my loyalty to the army. Even though we will surely end in tragedy, our spirit will remain immortal. I am willing to use my blood to pay tribute to the immortal heroes of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Xia Xu smiled emotionlessly in the corner.
"Sir, why are you laughing?" Meng'er looked at this and asked softly.
