Without us providing logistics, they couldn't chase so fast, so Yi Yue had a big quarrel with Liao Rulong and angrily scolded us for delaying the war opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, their three armies have separated from our team and are leaning toward the Northeast Front, waiting for their own logistics troops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the Black Armor Army?\" Zhao Xing asked. He cared most about Xia Jing. As for those three armies, he didn't care, but the Black Armor Army was also in the Northern Front war zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xia Jing also received the order. Although he didn't say it now, I guess he thinks the same way,\" Chen Shijie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Jing's relationship with the Divine Might Army was, after all, closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll persuade him in a while. What about the good news?\" Zhao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The good news is that I, Long Xiao, and Xia Jing have all broken a million military merits,\" Chen Shijie smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Has the military merit mission been settled?\" Zhao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, you should also be able to see the news from the Earth Mirror.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing immediately took out the Earth Mirror to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he showed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Divine Might Army Zhao Xing, you have completed the military world's military merit mission 'Stabilize Soul-Sacrifice Pass Supplies']\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In view of your comprehensive performance and the battle results achieved in this Eastern Front war zone, you have obtained a total of 525,400 military merits!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do you have?\" Chen Shijie asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not much, just 520,000,\" Zhao Xing said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie waved his hand: \"Someone, take this guy down and torture him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao walked in and said in surprise: \"What crime did he commit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie hummed: \"Showing off his merits in front of his superior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao said with a trace of a smile: \"What did he say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked him how many military merits he got, and he actually said not much, just 520,000. Listen, is this human language? Should he be beaten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, he should indeed be beaten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your subordinate knows he was wrong, Lord Chen, please calm your anger.\" Zhao Xing also smiled and accompanied Old Chen in a performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jokes aside, Zhao Xing obtaining so many military merits was actually not unexpected to Chen Shijie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 100,000 logistics troops in Tonghuo City were all managed by Zhao Xing in an orderly manner without any mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solving the soul-bewitching grand array and breaking the Soul-Sacrifice Pass barrier, Zhao Xing had made an indelible contribution. If Chen Shijie had done it himself, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, he couldn't pass this soul-bewitching grand array. This array began to be deployed after Fire Dragon Pass was broken and had been kept hidden without being released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, it separated the front-line troops from the logistics troops, which was simply a disaster. Giving 400,000 military merits to Zhao Xing personally was definitely not too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, breaking the Soul-Sacrifice Pass barrier was purely a competition between logistics. For the military supplies needed by the six armies, if someone else had come to manage it, it might not have been satisfied in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing knew the high-stage Volcano Method and Instant Primordial, which were key spells for cultivating Grade 5 plants and could greatly shorten the time. With him as a breakthrough, he could utilize the remaining low-grade agricultural officials. Ordinary Military Agricultural Officials simply couldn't do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking the pass, supplies, and overall merit distribution gave 520,000 military merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are your thoughts on the next step?\" Chen Shijie asked. \"You persuaded us not to advance rashly. Do you have any basis?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing told Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, and Xia Jing not to advance rashly, and the two of them advised Liao Rulong. Liao Rulong listened to the advice, and Xia Jing also listened to the advice, because the subsequent plan of Qi Yuanjun and the others did not conform to their original planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he just wanted to ask Zhao Xing's opinion on the next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest, observe the situation,\" Zhao Xing said. \"Let's see the situation before talking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This answer was very vague and inevitably a bit disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Xing couldn't tell Chen Shijie and the others that Emperor Jing was about to stop the war immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he, a Grade 7, guess so accurately? By his fortune-telling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he could only use some clichés: \"The Golden Feather Royal Court has a great determination to guard the Fire Demon Clan territory, but now it has retreated on all three sides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about how shameless this is? They will definitely find a side to win some victories, otherwise, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and their prestige will be greatly reduced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a wild guess. In his past life, the Golden Feather Royal Court really did this, but they chose to take the Divine Thunder Army to the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the little prince Yanda encountered Lu Yuanwei, the son of fortune, and was defeated. Not to mention, he almost followed in his cousin's footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this time, the Golden Feather Royal Court gave up the Fire Demon Clan territory, completely establishing Lu Yuanwei's road to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying the Golden Feather Royal Court will take the East side to the knife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, I think it's possible,\" Zhao Xing nodded. In fact, he wanted to wait until February of the 18th year of the Jingxin Calendar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In early February, Emperor Jing would stop the war, and in March, he would conduct rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Emperor Jing intended to start a medium-to-high-grade war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, it would continue to waver due to the Creation Plate and some reasons, continuing to train troops, but it was also from this time that military merits would not be so easy to earn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper they fought, the worse the environment became, and the longer the battle line was stretched. Military Agricultural Officials were not omnipotent, and some things could not be supplied. For example, some mineral materials still had to be transported from the Great Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceasefire in February would have a small number of high-grade people entering the field. If they rushed too fast at this time, they might be killed by high-grade experts who didn't talk about martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they didn't encounter high-grade experts, Emperor Jing would order the troops to retreat a distance at that time to leave a buffer zone. Rushing now was also rushing in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In short, I suggest resting now. Don't you and Long Xiao have a million military merits? Find Lu Tingzhi of the Transfer Department and let him come over. You two should change for a Yin God quota first,\" Zhao Xing said.\u003C\u002Fp>",4186,"2026-06-17T16:13:07.318Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","eb41ae0d782c48553ea866d629ef737aa0bb3f521925ec0d7bc24ea0add599d0","shennong-dao-lord-chapter-207","shennong-dao-lord-chapter-205",666,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshennong-dao-lord-cover.jpg"]
