Summoner's Road to Hegemony

Chapter 277 Lin Ruofeng's Promotion

Evelyn rested her forehead with her hand and sighed slightly,

"My dear friends, don't you report anything that would make me happier?"

After Evelyn finished speaking, the entire conference hall fell silent. At this time, the people staying in Oasis City were all engaged in logistics, and they couldn't directly participate in the war. How could there be good news about this war.

Just when the ministers in the council chamber were embarrassed, a palace messenger loudly reported:
"Report to Your Majesty, the Herald of the First Legion is waiting outside the palace."

"Oh? Is there something wrong over there? Hurry up and pass it on to the hall."

With the permission of the empress, the palace messenger followed the order and walked out of the hall.

At this time, the officials in the hall began to whisper:
"It's only been two days, is it difficult for the First Legion to encounter a problem?"

"I said before, don't give the First Army to the command of a brat. Now it seems that it is definitely not good news."

The ministers began to whisper, and Evelin was unsure, although she trusted Lin Ruofeng in her heart and pushed the young Lin Ruofeng to the position of commander of the first army against all odds.

However, the battlefield situation was ever-changing, and Evelin didn't know whether Lin Ruofeng was fully qualified for the position of army commander. In her heart, she actually had more expectations for Marshal Yuwen Zhan.

Just when the ministers in the hall began to lose confidence in the First Legion, the Herald of the First Legion walked up to the hall with arrogance.

He has been the herald of the First Legion for 10 years, and has reported countless victories to His Majesty the King for the First Legion. He has never been so proud as he is today.

"Report to Your Majesty, the First Legion has won a great victory, wiped out 150 million Sun Empire expeditionary troops, and captured the enemy commander-in-chief Qin Laiyin."

After the herald reported the results of the First Army Corps, the entire parliament hall became quiet.

"Gudu"

The herald swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he felt a little uneasy, why did the hall become so quiet?

"What? What did you say? Say it again."

Regardless of his image, Qian Rong was the first to stand up and question the herald. He suspected that the herald had given the wrong order.

"Regimental Commander Lin commanded the First Legion to win a big victory, wiped out 150 million Sun Empire expeditionary forces, and captured the local commander-in-chief Qin Laiyin."

The herald repeated it carefully.

"Impossible, it's impossible. It's only been two days since the war started. How did the First Legion do it? That's 150 million Sun Empire Expeditionary Force. ah."

This time it was Zhuge Zhengxin who questioned in surprise. Although he was a civil servant, he had also analyzed the Sun Empire Expeditionary Army.

In their estimation, the First Army Corps would be in a stalemate with the Sun Empire Expeditionary Force for a month. At that time, Yuwen Zhan should have recovered Fufu County and could provide support to the First Army Corps.

Only when the First and Second Legions attack the Sun Empire Expeditionary Army together can victory be guaranteed.

Why did the First Army destroy the 150 million expeditionary force after only two days of expedition?
Evelin was relatively calm. Although she also found it a bit unbelievable, it was possible that this happened to Lin Ruofeng.

"Herald, are you telling the truth?"

Evelin stood up and walked to the herald and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I have been a herald officer for 10 years, and I have never seen such a talented conductor as Captain Lin. Now the recovery of Xiannan County is just around the corner."

With the assurance of the herald, everyone in the conference hall knew that this was a real event.

"Generalissimo Yuwen Zhan has barely launched an attack on the Water Kingdom invasion force. The war that did not reach the First Legion first is over."

All the ministers in the meeting hall were shocked.

"Okay, okay, okay, I will appoint Lin Ruofeng as the Grand Marshal of the Protector of the Kingdom, with full authority to represent Saudi Arabia in all matters related to the Sun Empire, including the subsequent negotiations."

Evelyn said three nice words in a row.

"Your Majesty, think twice. Although Captain Lin is brave and good at fighting, he may not be a master of negotiation. It is better to choose a specialized negotiator for the next negotiation."

Qian Rong knew that Lin Ruofeng might become famous in the future, but the negotiation was related to the interests of both countries, so he still spoke to the empress.

Evelin turned back and sat on her throne,

"The Empire of the Sun has not proposed negotiations yet, but with Qin Laiyin as a bargaining chip in our hands, they will definitely come to negotiate with us. Marshal Lin's meaning represents mine. It would be best to have Marshal Lin as the negotiator. There is no need to discuss it further at this time. , that’s it.”

Evelin was in a good mood. Lin Ruofeng had given her a great surprise. She had actually won Xiannan County in just two days.

"Lin Ruofeng, I didn't expect you to be so good at commanding troops. I didn't misread you."

Evelyn was overjoyed in her heart. The Sun Empire had suffered such a big loss, and she would definitely not dare to provoke the Saudi Kingdom easily in the future. As a daughter, she became the emperor, and her position became much more stable.

The temporary meeting where the logistics minister complained turned into a commendation meeting for the First Legion.

The herald followed Evelin's eunuchs toward Tucheng. The emissary held a commendation for the First Legion in his hand.

Lin Ruofeng destroyed the main force of the Sun Empire's expeditionary force, and there was no Sun Empire soldier in half of Xiannan County who could compete with the First Army of the Sand Kingdom.

The entire process of regaining Xiannan County went extremely smoothly, and one after another the good news was sent back to Lin Ruofeng's headquarters.

Lin Ruofeng estimated that the Sun Empire's response would come soon. Did they choose to give up Xiannan County and coexist peacefully?Or an all-out war?
Just as Lin Ruofeng was distracted at the command post, the minister Sha and the herald walked into the Tucheng command post.

"Marshal Lin, please take the order."

A high-pitched voice brought Lin Ruofeng's chaotic thoughts back to reality. When he looked for the sound, he found that it was an internal minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

"Marshal Lin? What do you mean?"

Lin Ruofeng was a little confused, even if he was promoted, he shouldn't be promoted so high, right?
The minister smiled and said:

"Marshal Lin, don't jump down, please take the order."

After saying that, the minister put away the smile on his face and began to read the order in his hand with a serious expression:

"Lin Ruofeng, the commander of the First Army, is now appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and his title is elevated to Marquis. He will lead the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in all matters facing the Empire of the Sun."

Lin Ruofeng respectfully saluted as a courtier, and then received the order letter and the big seal representing his identity.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness"

After finishing all official procedures, the minister said to Lin Ruofeng with a smile:
"Marshal Lin, you are now a popular person around His Majesty. Please take good care of me in the future."

Lin Ruofeng also said with a smile on his face:
"Of course, of course, I have some Tucheng specialties here to honor you, please accept them."

Lin Ruofeng winked at his personal guard,
Wang Er weighed out a heavy package and handed it to the minister.

The minister weighed it a little, and found that there were heavy gold and silver utensils inside, and his face was full of smiles.

"Marshal Lin is a transparent person. The Sun Empire should soon send someone to negotiate. Your Majesty the Empress has given you full powers to represent him. You can be a bit tougher."

After the minister finished speaking, he left the command post with a smile on his face and carrying the package.
