Rebirth of the Strongest Seventh Prince

In January of the year of Emperor Juetian of the Aegean Continent, the long roar of the monster forest continued for a long time. Almost the entire Aegean Continent could hear this earth-shaking roar. In the past, people were not surprised, because there would be a monster wave every ten years, but this time it was extraordinary, because it broke out five years earlier, and from the roar of the monsters, people could hear that it was full of strong hatred, as if it wanted to destroy everything. The earth-shaking roar lasted for three days and three nights, and the civilians of the Aegean Continent also fell into panic and were in a state of anxiety all day long.

The roaring sound gradually dissipated and the continent fell into silence. However, everyone knew that this was the eve of a storm and a storm was about to come.

Although they had been prepared, the horror of the monster tide was still beyond everyone's expectations. Bad news came one after another. Just yesterday, a small country in the Eastern Izumo Kingdom that was connected to the Monster Forest was destroyed by the monster tide. Hundreds of thousands of national defense troops were almost destroyed in an instant. The king and his people fled to Izumo Kingdom. Today, three more small countries were destroyed and their people were displaced.

Even the State of Chu, one of the eight empires, was not having an easy time. A long area bordering the Monster Forest, Chu was naturally hit hard by the Monster Tide. Fortunately, in order to resist the Monster Tide that broke out every ten years, Chu had built towering city walls and dangerous passes over hundreds of years, which effectively blocked the advance of the Monster Tide.

Despite this, the northern border of Chu State is still in danger, because the impact of this wave of monsters is ten times more terrifying than usual. High-level monsters are everywhere, and there are even many holy beasts among them.

The Imperial Palace of Chu, the Golden Palace.

"My dear ministers, today several small vassal states in the north sent people to deliver letters asking for help, saying that the monster tide over there is too terrifying and difficult to resist. They hope that our Chu State can send troops to help. What do you think?" The King of Chu rubbed his forehead and had a slight headache. The monster tide these days has made him uneasy.

Prime Minister Wen came out and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, since it is a vassal state asking for help, we should send troops to rescue them. Only in this way can we show the style of our master country!" All the ministers also echoed.

The King of Chu smiled bitterly and said, "If it were just like this, it would be fine. My dear ministers, please take a look at this memorial. It was sent by the King of Zhenbei overnight!"

The young eunuch held the memorial and handed it to Long Batian. After reading it, Long Batian's expression immediately became solemn. At the same time, he handed the memorial to Prime Minister Wen, who also changed his expression slightly after reading it.

After all the ministers had read the memorial, the King of Chu spoke: "My dear ministers, now that you have read the memorial, please tell us what you think!"

Long Batian stepped out first with a solemn expression and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, this wave of monsters is unusual. From the report submitted by the King of Zhenbei, there are no less than three invading holy beasts, and no less than a hundred ninth-level monsters. Since the King of Zhenbei has requested support, we should send troops immediately."

The King of Chu asked, "Then according to Uncle Long, how many troops should we send out?"

Long Batian pondered for a while and said, "This beast tide is not simple. I suggest sending out the Crazy Dragon Legion!"

"No!" Prime Minister Wen immediately denied it, "The Mad Dragon Legion is the most elite legion in our Chu State. How can we mobilize it for a group of monsters! We only need to send out some other elite legions!" As soon as Prime Minister Wen said this, many ministers echoed him, believing that they should not make such a big fuss to deal with the monster tide.

Long Batian said loudly again: "Although Prime Minister Wen's words make sense, I did not say to mobilize the entire Crazy Dragon Legion. Only a quarter of them are needed, especially the newly recruited soldiers. Although this monster tide is dangerous, it is also a good opportunity for the soldiers to gain experience. Our Chu State has been peaceful for decades. The soldiers have not experienced war and have no murderous aura. This is a very bad thing!"

As soon as Long Batian finished speaking, the Golden Palace suddenly became lively. Military leaders all supported Long Batian, believing that the bastards of the Crazy Dragon Legion really needed some experience. Although the civil officials were not good at military affairs, they also had some interest on their faces, thinking that Long Batian's words made sense.

Prime Minister Wen frowned and said, "May I ask, old Marshal, what should we do with those vassal states that have asked for help? Should we also send troops to support them?"

Long Batian thought for a moment and said, "As the master country, it is unreasonable for us not to send troops to help when the vassal country sends people to ask for help. But from the memorials they sent, the monster tide they are facing is not more terrifying than the Zhenbei King and his men. The most advanced monsters among them are just a few ninth-level monsters. We only need to send some elite troops!"

After hearing this, the King of Chu could not help but ask, "Then according to what Uncle Long said, how many troops should we send out?"

Long Batian stretched out a finger and said, "At least one million. The area bordering the Monster Forest in the northern border is too vast. This monster tide is not simple. There are too many high-level monsters. It is difficult for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the King of Zhenbei to resist it alone!"

One million troops! All the officials exclaimed in amazement. You know, the current army of Chu State is only six million. It is really unbelievable to dispatch one sixth of the army just to fight against the monster tide.

Emperor Chu frowned and said, "Uncle Long, isn't this too exaggerated? We have dealt with monster hordes before, so it wouldn't be necessary to mobilize so many troops, right?"

Long Batian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I just received intelligence not long ago that the Emperor Dragon Kingdom sent out the Holy Dragon Knights to deal with the monster tide, and even sent out a sword god. It is said that a twelfth-level beast appeared over there!"

Divine beasts! Everyone exclaimed in unison again. Divine beasts can be said to be the most powerful existence in the Aegean Continent. They are existences that even the Sword God of mankind cannot contend with. They actually appeared in the human world. It seems that this wave of monsters is indeed extraordinary. The Emperor Dragon Kingdom is the most powerful country in the continent. It actually sent out the Sword God. It is conceivable how terrifying the wave of monsters they are facing is.

Prime Minister Wen couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Is what the old marshal said true?" The ministers also looked at Long Batian. After all, the news was really shocking.

Long Batian affirmed: "It is absolutely true, this is the information sent back by Long Ying!"

Longying is the most elite intelligence department of Chu State. It was established shortly after the founding of Chu State. After hundreds of years, it has spread all over the continent. Any news will be sent back to Chu State as soon as possible. Since it is the information sent back by Longying, no one will doubt it anymore.

Prime Minister Wen said solemnly: "In this case, Your Majesty, I think the old marshal is right. We should send out heavy troops to deal with this wave of monsters!" Seeing that Prime Minister Wen had spoken, the civil officials also agreed that heavy troops should be sent. Needless to say, the military officers had always stood on Long Batian's side.

Seeing that all the ministers agreed to send troops, the Emperor of Chu immediately issued an order to send one million troops, including the 10,000-strong Mad Dragon Legion, to support the northern border. He ordered General Zhao Yansheng to be the commander-in-chief and the eldest prince to be his assistant. The army set out two days later.
