Chapter 481: The Brave Man Returns

The Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon was now coiled around Ning Zhuo's waist again.

The vast majority of the spoils inside had been sold, exchanged for spirit stones that filled several cabins.

Now, Ning Zhuo no longer needed to consider the cost of the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon traveling through the void—

He was very wealthy!

Sun Lingtong, in his small form, sat cross-legged on the ground and put on the "Soldiers and General in One Helmet."

The large helmet sat on his small head, and the back half of the helmet covered a small part of Sun Lingtong's back, showing a significant difference between the two.

Sun Lingtong's physical foundation was much stronger than before.

Although the helmet was heavy, he could easily support it with his head.

While supporting the helmet, he flipped through the military book "High Victory Testament" in his hand.

This military book was broken and incomplete. Sun Lingtong, lacking military expertise, could read the characters, but it was difficult to understand them when combined.

The further he went, the more profound the military strategy content became. Misunderstanding a single character could lead to vastly different results.

The key was that there were many loopholes in the military book, missing many words and phrases, sometimes even large passages of text.

This military treasure was very good for combat. But as a textbook, it was truly difficult for the reader.

But the situation now was different from usual—Sun Lingtong had put on the "Soldiers and General in One Helmet"!

As he continued to flip through, his spiritual sense delved into the military book, his eyes went blank, and he fell into a state of enlightenment.

In a trance, he became an ordinary soldier in the army, his steps heavy and slow. During a night raid, he suddenly couldn't help but let out a loud fart, causing him to be discovered by the enemy, and the entire raid failed.

He became a small leader again. His temper was irritable. Even though he had already lurked to the enemy's side, he couldn't control his temper and charged prematurely, launching the attack at the wrong time, causing the enemy to react generally and hold off the raid.

He even became the commanding general. His personality was hesitant, and his actions were timid. Even though he had grasped the timing for a raid and was close to the enemy, he didn't dare to bet heavily, not using his full strength during the raid. Finally, when he wanted to use his full strength, the enemy had already stabilized their footing, and everything was too late.

Sun Lingtong gained various insights.

"To succeed in a raid, as a soldier, one must hide one's tracks; as a leader, one must be patient and restrained; as a commanding general, one must have decisiveness! At the moment of the raid, one must use all one's strength and invest everything. Only in this way can the effect of the raid be maximized."

After a full two hours, Sun Lingtong slowly opened his eyes.

His spiritual sense was nearly exhausted. He put down the helmet and stood up again, raising his eyebrows at Ning Zhuo. His proud appearance clearly showed he had gained a lot.

"I have realized a battle formation called the 'Small Thief Light Wind Formation'."

"This battle formation allows soldiers to march quickly, as if their feet are stepping on a light breeze. At the same time, it can hide their tracks."

"Through hiding and disguise, after getting close to the enemy, they can launch a comprehensive raid!"

"It's like a light breeze brushing against the face, stealing the enemy's life. It is especially good at fighting after the enemy has fallen asleep!"

After Sun Lingtong finished sharing, Ning Zhuo was a bit puzzled: "Just this?"

He had thought he would be able to see a lot of content, but in fact, there was only one battle formation.

Sun Lingtong touched his chin and analyzed: "The 'High Victory Testament' is too broken; normal reading is difficult to understand."

"My own military strategy is equal to zero, which exacerbates this bad situation."

"As for the power of the 'Soldiers and General in One Helmet,' it allows the wearer to gain the experience of the soldiers and generals who have worn it before."

"Combining the two, it will provide correct guidance based on my own personality and hobbies, allowing me to summarize a result that is most suitable for me."

"Obviously, my result is the 'Small Thief Light Wind Formation'."

Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly, expressing agreement.

Sun Lingtong's vision was broader than Ning Zhuo's, especially in terms of practical experience.

Sun Lingtong's thinking was also very meticulous; he only used it once and judged the truth.

"Little Zhuo, you should try it too." Sun Lingtong suggested, "I've already tried it for you; there shouldn't be any risk."

"Boss, thank you very much." Ning Zhuo had long been interested. Before entering the camp, he also imitated Sun Lingtong's state just now, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to comprehend military strategy.

He became a soldier, guarding a large number of civilians during a transfer. As a result, he was burdened, and not only he himself, but the entire army was wiped out.

He became a small leader, unwilling to abandon the wounded in his team, and as a result, while dragging them to escape, he was caught up by the enemy and killed.

He became a commanding general, unable to bear the casualties in battle, unwilling to abandon a certain part of his troops, and constantly investing in reserve teams. As a result, in the second half of the war, the front line without reserve teams collapsed, and after one corner collapsed, the entire line quickly collapsed. Ning Zhuo, as the commanding general, was also defeated and died.

Therefore, Ning Zhuo comprehended a military strategy—the "Comrade-in-Arms Sacrifice Extinction Method"! Once this method is cast, it can allow the bodies and souls of comrades to serve as materials, all sacrificed in exchange for temporary power added to the remaining soldiers.

Therefore, the more comrades die, the stronger the combat power boost the remaining people get.

Seeing Ning Zhuo looking exhausted and opening his eyes, Sun Lingtong asked curiously: "Little Zhuo, what did you comprehend again?"

Ning Zhuo:...

He was silent for a moment before saying: "I comprehended a military strategy."

Sun Lingtong pressed: "What military strategy?"

"It must be something that follows your personality, according to your hobbies, and is most suitable for you."

Ning Zhuo:...

Boss, if you didn't say that, we would still be good friends!

Seeing Ning Zhuo not speaking for a long time, Sun Lingtong was forced by his own curiosity: "Oh, Little Zhuo, tell me quickly."

=9+Shu_Ba

Ning Zhuo could only nod and say reluctantly: "This military strategy is called... the 'Brave Man Returns Technique'!"

"What does that mean?" Sun Lingtong was puzzled.

Ning Zhuo chanted: "As the saying goes, the wind is bleak and the Yi River is cold; the brave man goes and does not return."

"This military strategy is to let the brave man return."

"Comrades fight side by side, and when a brave man dies on the battlefield, their remaining strength will be added to the others who remain."

"Although the brave man is dead, his remaining strength still helps his comrades to fight."

"I like this military strategy very much; it fully reflects my understanding of the cruelty of war. War is dangerous, and I love peace even more!"

"At the same time, this military strategy also conforms to my philosophy that 'sacrifices must have value, and the higher the value, the more worthy the sacrifice'."

"In addition, there is my persistence and courage to never yield even in death, even if I have to leave my remaining strength behind to continue fighting!"

Sun Lingtong stared blankly at Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo held his head high and smiled at him with righteous indignation.

Sun Lingtong was truly bluffed for a moment, muttering: "I always feel something is not quite right."

Ning Zhuo said hurriedly: "Hey, why think about these things? Let's go back first."

"Hmm? Not continuing to comprehend?" Sun Lingtong was puzzled.

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "On one hand, we have been out for a long time, and there may be a sudden change on Mu Lan's side. It's safer to guard it."

"On the other hand, since using the 'High Victory Testament' and the 'Soldiers and General in One Helmet' is based on our personality and hobbies... of course, this statement is open to question."

Ning Zhuo added a sentence quickly and continued: "Then, only when we have truly mastered the battle formation or military strategy can we better comprehend the second one, right?"

"If we don't understand it thoroughly, the things we trigger will still have a lot of the same content."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "Makes sense, makes sense. As expected of Little Zhuo."

Ning Zhuo smiled: "Of course, this is just a guess. But it's very simple to verify; you just need to comprehend it once, Boss."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "Of course I will do that."

Immediately, Sun Lingtong continued to stay in the mechanical wandering dragon. And Ning Zhuo, with the wandering dragon coiled around his waist, returned to the Three Generals Camp.

Liu Er learned the news and immediately went out of the tent to welcome him.

Seeing Ning Zhuo full of smiles, his smile became even more enthusiastic: "Seeing the military advisor looking so refreshed, this trip must have been a great harvest."

Ning Zhuo bowed and saluted: "The family has given me more power, and now I can support the Three Generals Camp more."

Liu Er clapped his hands happily: "As expected, it's good news! Military advisor, come to my tent and sit for a while."
