Chapter 144: Majestic Ice Dragon King
After returning to the backyard, Long Chen entered Diao Chan’s room.
Naturally, they couldn’t resist being intimate for a while...
After two consecutive big battles, even someone with Long Chen’s physique was feeling a bit overwhelmed.
After all, his quality was many times that of an ordinary person!
Diao Chan sensed that her husband was feeling a bit unusual.
Holding Long Chen’s robust body, her jade hands drew gentle circles on his chest.
Softly, she asked, "Husband, what’s wrong with you recently?"
"You seem a bit low in spirits. Is it because of the strain from political and military affairs?"
"In fact, I can help you. When I followed my adoptive father, I was well-versed in books like ’Records of the Grand Historian’ and ’Zuo Zhuan.’"
"The military book ’Six Secret Teachings’ also had some involvement!"
Upon hearing this, Long Chen reached out and pinched Diao Chan’s straight and beautiful nose.
He smiled and said, "I didn’t expect my wife to be such a talented woman!"
"Of course!"
Diao Chan waved her small fist and puffed out her cheeks, extremely cute.
"Mwah—"
Long Chen couldn’t resist Diao Chan’s adorable and charming appearance and unexpectedly kissed her out of nowhere.
"Hey~"
"Husband, can you let me help you~ Please~"
Seeing Diao Chan acting cute, even Long Chen, with his heart of stone, couldn’t resist and nodded in agreement:
"Alright, alright! I’ll leave it to you!"
At the same time, he thought to himself, "This girl’s cultivation of the ’Charm Technique’ is becoming more and more powerful! Who can resist this!!"
...
...
The next morning.
Long Chen mounted his new mount—the Ice Dragon King!
Accompanied by five thousand ordinary Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he set off.
Destination—Danyang County.
Accompanying him were Captain Xu Chu and Lieutenant Dian Wei.
He intended to train this force of five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry well.
And the best training ground was undoubtedly Danyang County, which had both hilly and plain terrain.
Most importantly, there were many mountain bandits in Danyang County, so it would be a good opportunity to test the bravery of his five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Long Chen rode ahead alone on the majestic Ice Dragon King.
Although the Ice Dragon King’s speed was the slowest among all his attributes, that was only relatively speaking.
In other words, his other attributes were so outstanding that the speed attribute appeared low in comparison.
In reality, the Ice Dragon King’s speed was not weaker than that of a purple-grade fine horse.
Traveling seven to eight thousand miles in a day was not a problem.
Of course, it couldn’t be compared to the speed of the king of horses, the Red Hare, which could travel ten thousand miles in a day.
But Long Chen believed that in terms of attack and magic attack, the Ice Beast [Ice Dragon King] was probably superior to the Red Hare.
Most importantly, the Ice Dragon King was handsome!
At this moment, sitting on the Ice Dragon King, which was several zhang long, Long Chen exuded an invisible aura of dominance.
Many people on the roadside were shocked and lost their color, as if they had seen a ghost.
"What the heck!!! What is this thing?!!!"
"Can someone tell me what’s going on??!"
"Is this a dragon?! So handsome!!!! If I could have such an Ice Dragon, I’d be willing to drop to level 1!!!"
"Haha! If I had this Ice Dragon, I’d be willing to lose five years of my life! So cool!!!"
"Damn, who’s the soldier riding the blue-gold Ice Dragon?!?!"
"He actually pulled it off!"
"You’re new here, aren’t you? That’s Long Chen, the governor of our Jiujiang County, and also the number one player in our Huaxia Region, ’Sword Wind.’"
"Oh my god! Is this the famous ’Sword Wind’? This kind of style, it must be him!!"
...
Long Chen had only been gone for a short time, but the news of him riding the Ice Dragon King had already spread throughout the entire "Great Lord" forum!
This attracted the attention of many powerful alliances...
The term "magical beast" began to be mentioned by high-end players.
Special NPC species such as the Flame Dragon and the Dwarf were also brought up. freeweɓnøvel.com
Long Chen didn’t realize that he had become a sensation as soon as he made his debut.
Right now, all he wanted was to properly train his five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
And to deal with the issue of the mountain bandits in Danyang.
...
Danyang County.
In a deep mountain forest in Jing County.
There stood a towering and sturdy fortress nestled among the mountains.
The terrain here was extremely steep, looking like a line from bottom to top, with a slope of nearly seventy degrees.
Melodious songs echoed through the sky in the Wu dialect, creating a peaceful paradise.
Suddenly,
There was some commotion in the forest.
Several young men dressed in short leather garments emerged from the woods like monkeys swinging on vines.
They moved quickly and agilely, with sharp weapons such as bamboo spears tied to their backs.
After arriving at the gate of the fortress and showing their identity tokens, they were allowed to enter.
In the main hall of the fortress.
Sitting at the head was a burly man, his muscles as solid as rocks, his face fierce and his skin dark.
After listening to the reports from below, the burly man slammed his hand on the armrest of his stone chair.
Boom—
Under the thunderous sound, the sturdy rock immediately collapsed.
It could be seen how powerful this strike was.
The scouts below trembled, afraid that the Warlord (another name for the leader of the mountain bandits) would throw them out to feed the wild beasts in the mountains.
"Tell me, how many troops did Long Chen bring with him?"
"Reporting to the Warlord, about four to five thousand troops have come, and they don’t seem friendly..."
This Warlord’s name was Zulang, who had been stationed in Danyang County for several years.
Originally, there was no conflict with the former governor, but unfortunately, the new governor Long Chen was headstrong and insisted on opposing him.
How could Zulang let it go?
A hint of darkness appeared in his eyes as he muttered:
"If you had just minded your own business, it would have been fine! But if you have other ideas... I’ll make sure you regret it!!!"
He then ordered the scouts to continue scouting and keep a close eye on various key points.
...
At the barracks in Danyang County.
Over the next few months, Long Chen trained with these soldiers.
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers also showed astonishing changes, coupled with the enhancement from Long Chen’s legendary golden talent.
The training of the soldiers sped up significantly.
During this time, Long Chen not only trained the soldiers but also contemplated and arranged how to deal with the mountain bandits in Danyang.
He was well aware of how much damage the mountain bandits had caused to the Eastern Wu regime throughout history.
It could be said that the mountain bandits were like a quagmire, and it was their long-term presence that made it difficult for Eastern Wu to step out of this quagmire.
This made it difficult for them to engage in external wars because once they led troops out of Jiangdong, there was a high probability that the mountain bandits within Jiangdong would cause trouble and chaos everywhere.
