C779 The War Was Imminent
Before the war broke out, he had to stabilize the morale of the army.
Whether these generals were loyal to him or had ulterior motives, he had to find out about this matter. Otherwise, they would become unstable bombs that could explode at any time on the battlefield.
Lee Yang only arrived late when these generals were all present.
He waved at them and said, "Sit down. I called you here today to confirm something. You should know why I called you here. "
"I know." The generals said at the same time.
"Oh right, before we start our official conversation, let me introduce myself. I can't even tell who you are. By the way, tell me how many soldiers you have under your jurisdiction." Lee Yang said while holding his teacup.
"I, Lang Lang, guard the southwest front line. 10,000 soldiers and 5,000 cavalry."
"Your subordinate, Junhao, will guard the inner city. You will have five thousand infantry and one thousand spearmen."
"Subordinate Ryan, guard the outer city. Thirty thousand infantry, ten thousand cavalry, and five thousand artillery."
"Subordinate Riley, guard the port, ten thousand marines, six warships, and one large warship."
...
Lee Yang nodded in satisfaction and said, "All of you are the mainstay of Devil Capital, because of you. Only the people of the Devil Capital can enjoy a peaceful life. But now, we are facing a huge problem, because two kings have suddenly appeared in the Devil Realm. One of them is me, and the other is the Lord Devil Emperor in the Devil Domain. What do you all think about this situation? Speak freely. There's nothing to be afraid of."
The generals didn't dare to speak.
How could they casually speak such words? They might even lose their heads.
The atmosphere became somewhat silent. Lee Yang was not in a hurry either. He slowly drank the tea leaves and even took out a cigarette to light it up.
A few minutes later, there was still no one saying anything.
Lee Yang rolled the cigarette and said, "Why? Are you all afraid of me? Don't dare to say? Or don't want to say it. "
No one answered.
"Now I finally understand why the students were unwilling to answer the questions asked by the teachers in school. How about this, I'll order. I'll answer whoever I call, okay?" Lee Yang smiled and said, "Lang Lang, you do it."
Lang Lang stood up. His body was as straight as a silver spear. He looked straight ahead with an overbearing aura.
"Answer my question." Lee Yang said.
"I am loyal to Devil King." Lang Lang said loudly.
Lee Yang smiled and said, "Why didn't you say so just now?"
"I dare not say it." Lang Lang replied.
"Oh, this is interesting. Why wouldn't I dare say it?" Lee Yang said, "Are you afraid that I will test you, or do you feel that lying makes you very unhappy?"
"I dare not." Lang Lang said.
"Be straightforward, old man. Tell me what you think in your heart." Lee Yang said impatiently.
"Lord Devil Emperor has ruled the Devil Realm for hundreds of years. The entire Devil Realm has gradually recovered from its initial setback until now. Lord Devil Emperor has contributed a lot. The people of the Devil Realm are also unable to withstand the turmoil of the war. " Lang Lang was forced into a corner, so he simply said what he thought in his heart.
"Oh, what if I insist on starting a war? What will you do?" Lee Yang said with interest.
"I am loyal to Devil King." Lang Lang replied, "Soldiers have the duty of obeying orders. Since Devil King wants to fight, I will stand on Devil King's side without hesitation. Even if it is wrong, I will not turn back."
Lee Yang waved his hand and said, "Sit down. As for the others, do you have anything else to say? "
Jun Hao and Riley brothers looked at each other and finally stood up to express their loyalty.
Lee Yang nodded in satisfaction and let them leave.
However, after all these people left, Lee Yang's face turned cold again.
Apart from Lang Lang, the other three people were all disloyal.
Lee Yang believed in his own judgment very much.
His biggest problem right now was that he didn't have anyone he could use by his side. Now, he missed Xiong Zhan and Zhang Yuvmin very much. If these two brothers were here, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Brother, I still haven't been able to help you take revenge. Don't blame me.
That b * tch, Ling Xu, has been hiding too deeply. I have slaughtered the entire Sanyang Temple, but I still haven't found him.
Your souls in heaven must protect me. Find that b * stard and chop him into pieces.
Qing and Liu Xin walked in and stood on both sides of Lee Yang. At the same time, they looked at him with concern.
Lee Yang smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm fine."
"Lee Yang, let us help you." Qing said, "I am not weak. I have received training in this area in Blossom Valley. I have experience."
Lee Yang shook his head and said, "How can I let a woman go to the battlefield?"
Liu Xin said discontentedly, "Lee Yang, this is your fault. What era is it now and you are still so feudal? What's wrong with women? Women can also go to the battlefield to kill enemies. Don't tell me you want us to take care of children at home?"
Lee Yang smiled and said, "Taking care of our children? It seems that we don't have this side product yet. Otherwise, if we work hard now, ten or eight of you will come out. When they grow up, I will have soldiers to command."
Qing kicked Lee Yang angrily and said, "At this time, you are still thinking about these messy things."
Lee Yang sighed and said, "I wonder how Tiger Head is doing now. He should have grown up and could walk. Maybe he could even call him father. As a father, I'm really not good at my job. Up until now, I haven't taken good care of my son. I'm ashamed."
Qing said," This is not your fault. "
Liu Xin nodded and said, "That's right. Don't change the topic. Can we help you? We heard your conversation with those generals just now. These few people are not particularly reliable."

Lee Yang was interested and said," Interesting. Then tell me, what kind of unreliable method is it? "
Liu Xin pondered and said, "That Lang Lang may not be satisfied with you, but he is a competent soldier. Since he has pledged his loyalty to you, even if what you have done is wrong, ___ said. He'll do it without hesitation. Soldiers sometimes need this kind of spirit, not to mention that obeying orders is the duty of a soldier. As for the others, they were the ones who said the wrong thing. On the surface, they seem to be loyal to you, but in reality, they might have already secretly colluded with the Demon Emperor's side."
"That's right. In the past few days, we've discovered that many strangers have appeared in the city. They should be people sent by the Devil Domain to instigate the rebellion of these few generals. Two thirds of the military power in the Devil Capital has been controlled by these few generals. As the city lord in name, you don't have any control over the Devil Capital at all. What you need to do now is to get the military power back. Otherwise, you will only be able to escape if they force you. Although you're very strong, it's still not enough to face tens of thousands of soldiers." Qing added.
Lee Yang smiled. "It seems that you really do not have much confidence in me. This was a huge blow to their confidence. "
"We are talking business with you." The two girls said at the same time.
Lee Yang shook his head slightly and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good. Never mind. Anyway, I have no one to help me, so let me have two beautiful wives to help me. Liu Xin, you will be responsible for the safety of the inner city. As for how to obtain military power, that's your problem. Qing, I will leave those generals who have rebelled to you. I don't want them to see the sunlight tomorrow morning. How can they do it?"
Qing said playfully," I promise to complete the mission. "
Lee Yang rubbed his hands and said, "But we are still short of people. The sudden death of the general will definitely cause the morale of the army to be unstable. I have to walk around and look for a few useful people."
At this time, Natasha ran in from outside.
Her identity was special. She did not need to be notified when entering the inner palace. This was the report Lee Yang gave her.
"What's wrong, Natasha? She looks like she is panting." Lee Yang asked curiously.
Natasha took a deep breath and said, "Lee Yang, it's not good. There's a fight outside."
Lee Yang stood up and said, "What's going on? Who is fighting?"
"A Centurion... Aiya, the situation is a little chaotic. Quickly go and take a look. " Natasha said anxiously.
Lee Yang quickly walked out. Liu Xin and Qing also followed behind him.
When they arrived outside the mansion, a group of people stood in place, trembling with fear. Two of them were injured and looked a little embarrassed.
Lee Yang walked in front of them and said with a smile that was not a smile, "What's going on? The war hasn't even started yet, and you guys are already fighting amongst yourselves. I can't even manage a mere City Lord's Mansion. If I tell anyone about this, I will lose my face. "
One of the people who participated in the fight didn't even dare to raise his head, but the Centurion that Natasha spoke of proudly raised his head and said loudly, "Reporting to Devil King, these people want to defect."
"Oh." Lee Yang licked his lips. "Betray? Where to? Devil Domain?"
" Yes. When I passed by their room, I suddenly heard that this group of people were discussing the matter of defection. In the past few days, some of the people from Devil Domain had come to Devil Capital and spread bad rumors about Devil King everywhere. They also said that as long as they are willing to pledge their loyalty to the Devil Emperor, they can leave the Devil Capital under their arrangements." The centurion said loudly.
Lee Yang walked to the person who was beaten up and lowered his head to ask, "Is that so?"
The man did not dare to speak. His body trembled and he kneeled down to Lee Yang. "Devil King, I know I was wrong. Please don't kill me. Please forgive me."
Lee Yang was expressionless. He said to the Centurion, "Since you found them, I will leave them to you. You don't need me to teach you how to do it. Also, you said there are spies in the city, so I'll give you a mission. Arrest these spies, and the soldiers of City Lord's Mansion will follow your orders. I'll only look at the result. Alright, I'll give you the right. If you don't do it well... Kill your entire family. Do you dare to agree?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, the Centurion straightened his back and said, "I dare!"
