Starting from the border troops, I've worked my way up to become a Martial Emperor.

Chapter 130 Ignoring

Meanwhile, inside the Northern Patrol Camp, Lu Yuan's army had already assembled.

They were all armored warriors, each one of whom had already reached a certain level of cultivation, although they certainly couldn't compare to the Imperial Guards.

But compared to ordinary border troops and those fortified villages beyond the Great Wall, they were far more elite.

All one hundred centurions were training their muscles and tendons.

This is the most complete and powerful army that Lu Yuan has led since he joined the army.

He sat on his warhorse and glanced at the army.

A captain immediately stepped forward: "Sir, everyone has gathered."

"Set off!"

Lu Yuan said something indifferently.

Then, the army began to march forward.

One man on two horses, moving at great speed, raising a huge cloud of dust from the ground.

At the same time, the Commandant of Kuyesai received a report from his subordinate: "Sir, the Northern Patrol Camp has just moved. They are heading towards the camp of Prince Lie's mansion."

Upon receiving the news, a grim expression appeared on the captain's face: "I understand. You may leave."

Then, he took out a communication stone and sent a message to the Prince Lie's residence.

This was a noble person in the imperial city whom he had finally managed to climb up to.

The bond between the two sides was this stockade army and Prince Lie's territory.

Now that the territory is gone, if this band of soldiers is also wiped out, then he will be of no use to the Prince Lie's mansion.

Therefore, it is necessary to inform the Prince's Palace about this matter.

It must be said that now that the hands of the court officials are reaching out to the northern frontier, the equipment of the border troops has also been improved. After all, those forces beyond the Great Wall are equipped with sound transmission stones.

If the border troops are not equipped, how can they defend the city?

In the battlefield, information is crucial for victory.

Therefore, the Imperial Guards issued a batch of these two days ago, but Lu Yuan was not at his post, so the communication stones have not yet been delivered to him.

At this moment, just as the captain of the Kuye Fortress City had put down the communication stone.

The Imperial Guard's order has been issued: "Immediately clear out the invading soldiers from the stockade, without fail."

Looking at the message above, the captain of the Kuye Fortress had his brows furrowed into a knot.

One is Prince Lie, and the other is Xiao Heng.

Neither of them are people he can afford to offend.

The latter, in particular, has the power to supervise the border troops.

But in the end, he chose Prince Lie.

Not only because the other party was a member of the royal family, but more importantly, because he had finally managed to join the Prince's faction.

This lets the Prince's Mansion know that I exist.

Even if Xiao Heng obeys orders, people may not even know who he is.

Moreover, the Prince Lie's mansion said that as long as he obeys orders, they will definitely protect him.

Therefore, upon seeing this news, there was no intention to send troops.

Instead, he tossed the sound transmission stone aside and ignored it.

The same scene unfolded in several other nearby fortified cities.

Although Xiao Heng was famous in the court.

However, compared to Prince Lie, his status is clearly inferior in all other aspects.

Most importantly, the Prince Lie's Mansion has been operating in this place for a year.

The fortified city near the Fallen Leaf Plain has already been consolidated.

The power of Prince Lie's mansion, coupled with the monthly payments, has completely bound these people to the mansion's chariot.

Therefore, upon seeing Xiao Heng's order, their first thought was to delay.

The army in the border region is moving, but very slowly.

At this pace, it will take several days to gather everyone together.

If we arrive, who knows when?

At that moment, Lu Yuan led his army at breakneck speed and arrived at the camp of the border fortress soldiers.

At this moment, Lu Yuan saw that these people were hastily breaking camp, obviously having received advance notice and preparing to escape.

"The northern frontier has truly been turned into a sieve by Xun Gui. No wonder the court sent Xiao Heng to oversee it," Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

His eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Then, he had a bad feeling that the court was using Xiao Heng as a tool to eliminate these nobles.

And he himself became the tip of Xiao Heng's knife.

If one day, once the buffer zone is stabilized, Xiao Heng might be spared by Emperor Yong because of his profound background.

However, someone has to bear the brunt of Xun Gui's anger, otherwise it will be detrimental to the court.

Who could that person be?

"Wow! The internet is abuzz with 'Starting as a Border Soldier and Grinding Your Way to Martial Emperor,' a masterpiece by author Wo Yao Wu Di 2, available on Cola Novels."

Upon suddenly realizing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but gasp.

I'm still too young.

Without realizing it, I was pushed to the front, and I didn't even know it.

If I hadn't suddenly felt something now, I probably wouldn't even know how I died in the future.

"call!"

Then, he let out a long breath.

His expression hardened. Since the court wanted to use him, he might as well use the court to strengthen himself.

At least until these noble hands and feet are completely removed, he is still safe.

Even in this northern land, he was still the General Patrol the North, openly suppressing any band of soldiers who dared to enter the territory, cutting off the last lifeline of those noble families in the northern frontier, preventing them from entering the game.

As a result, Tianwangzhai also grew rapidly, like a snowball rolling downhill.

Thinking this, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he shouted to the army behind him, "Kill!"

As he waved his hand.

In an instant, the army, like a dark cloud, marched towards the soldiers of Prince Lie's mansion.

Those soldiers who were hastily preparing to flee were immediately at a disadvantage when they encountered the Northern Patrol Army.

Lu Yuan tossed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, his gaze fixed on the innate master on the battlefield.

The opponent did not linger in the fight; instead, they prepared to flee.

Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't let them have their way. To cut the weeds, you have to wipe them out at the root. Only by eradicating the Lie Wang Mansion's influence in the Northern Frontier will they no longer be qualified to enter the buffer zone in the future.

After all, it has been developing for more than a year now, and the territory has already been divided up.

After the Fallen Leaf Plains are captured by the Heavenly King Village, they will be thoroughly consolidated after a period of time.

It is extremely difficult for outsiders to get involved.

Now, what he needs to do is annihilate the army in front of him.

They did not give the Prince Lie's Mansion a chance to turn things around in the northern frontier.

But just as he was about to make his move.

"Da da!"

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, and then several riders came rushing over.

Leading the group was a man in blue robes. As he approached Lu Yuan's group, he took out a token and shouted, "Wu Heng, a third-class guard of the Prince Lie's mansion, requests an audience."

Lu Yuan glanced at it, then nodded, signaling his guards to let it in.

Wu Heng approached Lu Yuan casually, holding up the token, and said, "General, my lord hopes you will give this group of soldiers in front a way out."

The latter glanced at Wu Heng, his face expressionless, and then said, "My mission is to annihilate the invading troops, not to obey the Prince's orders. If there are any issues, let the Imperial Guards issue the commands!"

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, his eyes flashed with a cold light.

He steered his warhorse straight toward the village ahead, where the innate master was preparing to escape.

The speed of the Crimson Scale Warhorse needs no further explanation.

With just one charge, the gust of wind it generated was enough to suffocate people.

The master of innate talent didn't even have time to react.

"laugh!"

One of his heads was cleaved off by Lu Yuan, sending thick blood mist flying.

The soldiers in the stockade on the battlefield completely collapsed.

However, unbeknownst to them, the encirclement of the Northern Patrol Army had already been formed. They showed no mercy and killed every village soldier they encountered.

Having experienced battles with the Western Rong, their fighting strength was incomparable to the hastily assembled army of the border fortress soldiers.

Thick blood mist drifted across the battlefield.

When Lu Yuan returned to the outskirts of the battlefield carrying the severed head...

The guards of Prince Lie's mansion, their faces filled with anger and disbelief, pointed at Lu Yuan and said, "You, do you know that doing this is making an enemy of the Prince's mansion?"

"If you dare to falsely accuse the Prince of colluding with bandits from beyond the Great Wall again, I won't hesitate to execute you right now," Lu Yuan said calmly.

Wu Heng's heart tightened, and he dared not say another word. He turned his warhorse and headed towards the middle of the distance.

After running for a distance, he turned around and glared fiercely at Lu Yuan.

Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Guard's office...

The messenger's crisp footsteps rang out. After arriving in the main hall, he knelt on one knee and said, "Commander Xiao, the scouts on the front have reported that the army in the fortified city near the Kuye Plain is assembling at an extremely slow pace and has not yet left the city."

It appears they are intentionally stalling for time.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng was filled with rage.

A murderous intent flickered across his face.

For a general, it is most infuriating to see such a thing happen to his subordinates.

Just as he was about to order Marquis Mucheng to lead his troops there.

The messenger then added, "However, scouts have spotted that the Northern Patrol Army rushed to the battlefield immediately."
