Chapter 1509: Elephants in Herds, Causing a Sensation

~4 min read 699 words

"Good! Very good!"

Ying Zheng's eyes gleamed, staring at those elephants without blinking.

"Your Majesty, this is the surprise the Prince brought for you."

"I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied?"

General Wang Li saw the Emperor so excited.

He shouldn't be blamed for not explaining just now, right?

"Satisfied! Must be satisfied!"

Ying Zheng laughed from ear to ear.

This batch of elephants was rare.

Within the territory of Great Qin, there might not necessarily be so many elephants.

Now that so many appeared all at once, how could he not be satisfied?

"How many of these elephants are there?"

Ying Zheng was somewhat curious.

While speaking, elephants were still continuously walking out of the portal.

"Just over nine thousand, less than ten thousand elephants."

General Wang Li's expression was indifferent; he didn't think it was anything.

"How... how many?"

Ying Zheng staggered, almost falling off the city wall.

General Zhang Han was so scared that he hurriedly supported Ying Zheng.

Otherwise, if he had fallen, he would have been seriously injured if not dead.

Although this city wall had not been repaired yet, its height was close to over a zhang.

General Wang Li also hurriedly supported the Emperor's other arm.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling that he was fine.

"How many did you say the number of these elephants was just now, kid?"

General Wang Li suddenly realized; so it was this.

"Your Majesty, just over nine thousand, less than ten thousand elephants."

A look of pride flashed across General Wang Li's face and vanished.

"Just over nine thousand, less than ten thousand?"

"You call these nine thousand-plus elephants 'not many'?"

"Have you never seen an elephant before?"

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at General Wang Li.

Subsequently, his whole person became excited.

Elephant cavalry!

The long-cherished wish from many years ago was about to be realized in Ying Zi Ye's hands.

Many years ago, the moment Ying Zheng saw an elephant, he had this idea.

But because the elephant population was simply too small, it had never been realized.

He did not expect that it would be realized unintentionally today.

"You kid call this 'just over nine thousand,' you really don't know what you're talking about."

"This is already more than one could imagine."

"You must know that the elephants the Emperor saw back then were not even one percent of what there is now."

General Zhang Han was also very speechless.

Have young people nowadays become so arrogant?

"This is what the Prince said."

"The Prince said that the Mauryan Empire should have more than just this many elephants."

"There should still be quite a few."

"It's just that we only conquered over nine thousand."

General Wang Li had not forgotten what the Prince had said.

Otherwise, how would he dare to use the word 'just'.

"So that's how it is."

Ying Zheng understood; since it was Ying Zi Ye who said it.

Then it really wasn't many.

The Mauryan Empire must definitely have more.

Time passed slowly like this.

At this time, the place by the portal was already filled with elephants.

Many elephants were being controlled to move away from the portal.

Nobody knew how long had passed.

The portal had already disappeared from sight.

Wherever the gaze reached, all that could be seen were elephants.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

The soldiers sitting on the elephants shouted loudly.

"Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!"

"Rise!"

Ying Zheng opened his arms and laughed loudly.

This was going to form an elephant cavalry.

He did not know how their strength was.

However, just seeing the size of those elephants, one could feel a sense of pressure.

He stood here at the high point of the city wall, almost level with the elephant cavalry.

It was just a tiny bit higher than ordinary elephants.

Some elephants were even taller than where he was.

There was also a giant elephant, taller than the city wall Ying Zheng was standing on.

This was also the largest and tallest elephant in the elephant herd.

At this moment—

This elephant was slowly walking up.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

General Zhang Han moved closer.
