Travels to the Holy Light Continent

Chapter 178 I'm Not Interested in the Throne

The news of my return soon reached the palace, and His Majesty directly ordered me to go to the palace. It seemed that His Majesty was indeed a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, I, Xuanyuan Qingyun, pay my respects to you and wish you great military success!"

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense! I want to ask you, I want to send the strongest Savage Dragon Riders to deal with the orc invasion. What do you think?"

"I think it's inappropriate!"

"Why? Aren't they citizens of our Great Qin?"

"Of course, but the Great Qin Kingdom is not just the kingdom of my Xuanyuan family, right?"

"Uh! Yes! But at this moment, one of the families must send troops to help, otherwise it would be against the Pope's order!"

"I don't think that's necessary. Our Great Qin State only needs to send eight people!"

"Eight people? Which eight people?"

"My father is the Dragon Swordmaster, my mother is the Fire Mage, my subordinates Archimedes and Anna are both Dark Mage, Iris is the Ice Mage, plus me, the Dark Swordmaster Murakami Kazumatsu, and the Water Mage Beccaria are all there! I think no country can match us in producing so many masters!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. It turned out that the Xuanyuan family’s strength had reached this level.

"That being said, isn't it a bit of a joke to send only eight people?"

"I believe Your Majesty has read the battle report between us and Zhao. Archimedes, Anna and I blocked the attack of Zhao's million-strong army with just the strength of three people. What's more, with so many combat forces added, I believe it must be enough!"

"Your Majesty! I will take the Ice Princess with me. She is now a sixth-level magician and I believe she can be considered a fighting force!" said the Ice Witch.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Pope only asked us to help the State of Chu fight against the beastmen, but he didn't specify that we should mobilize the whole country. By then, it should be enough for the other countries to send troops!"

"Okay! Then the nine of you go ahead! Xuanyuan Qingyun, you will be the leader of this operation, and you must perform with style and at your best!"

Tsk, I thought you were holding a sports meet. (°ー°〃)

"The minister obeys the order!"

Just like that, a farce that had been discussed for seven days and seven nights was resolved by me in just a few minutes.

After learning what happened, Grandpa shook his head and said, "Third brother, I know you love your soldiers like your own sons, but isn't it a bit too tough for you to confront the emperor like this? You know, even a rough man like your father wouldn't talk to His Majesty like this."

"Tsk! What can he do if I just say that? Our Xuanyuan family is now at its peak of strength. I have my father's Azure Dragon Legion, my uncle's Suzaku Legion, my Savage Dragon Riders, and Aetius's Cavalry Regiment. Does he still dare to come and take over?" I said indifferently.

"We are loyal subjects and will not rebel against you!"

"Will your loyal Majesty still trust you if I rebel? Oh, I forgot to mention that Avanti still has 300,000 Amazon cavalry. He is my father-in-law, so I have to thank my father for that."

"Uh, this is the worst decision I have ever made in my life!" said the father regretfully.

You deserve it! I've made trouble for you.

"Okay! The third child is not interested in that position!" said Grandpa.

"How do you know? What if I do?"

"When you live long enough, you will naturally see things more clearly than others! Although you cause trouble, you have never caused trouble for yourself. People who are not selfish will not kill innocent people for the sake of power." Grandpa laughed.
