Chapter 328

329. Chapter 329: The Last Carnival of the Western Group Army

Star Luo Empire.

Night, Western Group Army camp.

Countless soldiers and their officers raised their glasses to drink, eating meat and drinking alcohol in large mouthfuls.

Generally speaking, the rules of the army are the strictest, and plus this was the Western Group Army of the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, it was impossible for such "disorderly" things to happen.

But there was no other way...

Their harvest during this period was truly too great, too great.

In just a few days, they had seized 99% of the mineral resources of the entire Ming Dou Mountain Range, and had even wiped out all the Sun Moon Empire's troops and the bandits of the Ming Dou Mountain Range!

This could be said to be the greatest victory since the establishment of the Western Group Army!

Regarding this, Dai Hao also allowed the soldiers to indulge once and enjoy the fruits of victory properly.

Not only that, because of the Western Group Army's great harvest, even the Imperial Family was alarmed; the Imperial Princess even came to congratulate them in person and bestowed heavy rewards on the Western Group Army.

Besides a large amount of military merit and material rewards, every soldier who participated in this operation could have their year-end bonus doubled.

Of course, the higher the military rank, the more generous the reward.

However, Dai Hao's military rank didn't change much.

After all, his military rank had already reached the top, and plus the Imperial Family was still very wary of Dai Hao; rewards could be maxed out, but status and military power definitely couldn't be given even a tiny bit more.

Of course, even if the Imperial Family didn't give these, with Dai Hao's prestige in the Sun Moon Empire, he had long been an existence above ten thousand people, only second to one; he just didn't have that ambition.

"Hahaha, our squad harvested over a hundred catties of silver titanium ore again tonight; it should be able to exchange for quite a bit of military merit."

"Our squad also harvested quite a bit; those people from the Sun Moon Empire are truly cowards; they haven't dared to send anyone over to snatch it for so long, and I was still being careful before."

"Pfft, you guys are too timid; if they come, just fight; who's afraid of whom? My hands have been itching for a long time; it's been a long time since I fought with that group of bastards."

"Hahaha, stop bragging; who was chased around the mountain by others last time, and in the end, wasn't it me who brought people to fish you out!"

"Get lost!"

"Hahaha——"

At this moment, in some camps, some officers were drinking while laughing and bragging wildly.

Because the Sun Moon Empire didn't send anyone to counterattack, most of the soldiers of the Western Group Army had turned into "golden miners," digging holes every day.

But they were enjoying it; after all, every catty of rare ore could be exchanged for a large amount of military merit.

Many soldiers had never seen so much military merit in their lives, so naturally, they were completely crazy! And for these officers, they could get a certain share of every soldier's military merit harvest; they only needed to drink and brag here to get military merit comparable to several years of their accumulation.

At first, they felt a bit at a loss because they had lost too many soldiers, but now they had all earned it back, and they had earned a fortune!...

However, while the officers and soldiers outside were cheering, the high-level officials were different.

At this moment, in Dai Hao's camp, the top level of the Western Group Army was holding a meeting.

Unlike the noise outside, the camp was exceptionally quiet, and the atmosphere could even be said to be a bit heavy; the faces of the generals were all a bit ugly. Because just a few days ago, the Deafening Claw Dragon Soul Tool Master Legion, one of the Hands of the Nation of the Sun Moon Empire, returned, which immediately aroused the vigilance of their entire army, and they retreated the whole army that day to avoid being wiped out by the Sun Moon Empire's army.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire's technology in detection soul tools was thousands of years ahead of them, and fighting in the mountains and forests, they would definitely suffer a big loss.

However, what happened next was very strange...

Because the Sun Moon Empire's Claw Dragon Legion was just stationed opposite, and then there was no movement at all.

They didn't even send a team into the Ming Dou Mountain Range to investigate.

It seemed as if they had completely abandoned all the resources of the Ming Dou Mountain Range, which seemed very strange.

After all, they had been dealing with the other party for decades, and naturally knew the personality of the Sun Moon Empire's legions incomparably well.

Let alone occupying their mineral veins, even if they dared to go deeper, it would cause strong dissatisfaction from the other party, or even lead directly to war! And now, not only had they occupied a large number of mineral veins, but they had also killed quite a few of the other party's soldiers, and even some territory that originally belonged to the Sun Moon Empire had been occupied and plundered by their people.

But despite such actions, the Sun Moon Empire side had actually endured it all!

This was truly not in line with common sense.

Of course, not in line was not in line, but they couldn't figure out the reason why the Sun Moon Empire did this.

"It has been seven days since the Claw Dragon Legion returned, but there is still no movement, and our spies among the other party haven't sent any news; what do you all think about this?"

Dai Hao sat in the first seat, spoke slowly, and opened today's routine meeting.

"Marshal, I think this is our opportunity; as long as the Empire's reinforcements arrive, we can firmly occupy the Ming Dou Mountain Range, and even if the Deafening Claw Dragon Soul Tool Master Legion comes, we will make them pay a huge price!" A bearded general stood up, spoke slowly, and there was uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

The reason they wanted to retreat before was mainly because the number of people in the Western Group Army was too small, and their initial plan was to grab a fortune and run, so they didn't build any defensive measures at all.

And just two days ago, it seemed that someone in the Imperial Capital had taken a fancy to this cake, or rather, had taken a fancy to this merit, and wanted to come and share a piece of the pie, so they sent a large number of reinforcements.

Generally speaking, this kind of behavior of suddenly coming to share the cake is very shameful.

However, this cake was big enough, and their Western Group Army couldn't eat it all, so they were actually happy to see it happen.

In about three days, the Empire's reinforcements would arrive, and now they had already started to let people build defensive facilities; once the Empire's army arrived and successfully stationed, even if the Deafening Claw Dragon Soul Tool Master Legion attacked with the whole army, it would be difficult for them to snatch these mineral veins from their hands.

"Marshal, I think General Bai's words are reasonable; regardless of the reason why the Sun Moon Empire's army didn't come to snatch the mineral veins back, it has nothing to do with us; it's nothing more than a battle; once the reinforcements arrive, even if war breaks out, we are completely not afraid!" Another old man also stood up and echoed.

"That's right, Marshal, we have been too aggrieved these years; even if war breaks out, it will be a hearty battle, and we are not afraid! There are no cowards in the White Tiger Legion!"

The other few officers with slightly lower positions also echoed in unison.

Clearly, they were also in favor of stationing troops and forcibly occupying the mineral veins they had occupied these days.

On one hand, it was because the resources here were truly too rich, and this was still under the condition that the Sun Moon Empire had been mining for so many years.

They truly found it hard to imagine how much profit the Sun Moon Empire had extracted from it...

On the other hand, it was also because they had had too few major battles these years; these people were all killed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but they had been retiring these past few years, which made them a bit unaccustomed; they were actually urgently wanting to bump into the Sun Moon Empire's army to see who was strong and who was weak.
