Chapter 482: Royal Order Military Advisor

~10 min read 1,893 words

Unlike Ning Zhuo took out twenty million low-grade spirit stones and immediately handed them to Liu Er.

"This is my family's investment in the Three Generals Camp, to help the General win the first battle and be crowned with glory!"

Liu Er couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at Unlike Ning Zhuo's storage bag with great enthusiasm; he saw that there were still many spirit stones in the bag!

He immediately restrained his gaze, grabbed Unlike Ning Zhuo's arm, and said gratefully: "It must be the military advisor who lobbied your family with all your might, resulting in such funding. What virtue or ability do I, Liu Er, have to receive such help from your family and from you, military advisor?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo grabbed Liu Er's arm in return: "General, you and I met as if we were old friends, and the longer we spend together, the deeper our feelings become."

"The General is kind to others, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and fights bravely against the enemy; you are truly a good man with a sense of responsibility!"

"I deeply admire you."

"In my humble opinion, I wanted to help without compensation. But the ancestors don't know much about the General and said they wanted to extract thirty percent of the spoils."

Liu Er was stunned: "Thirty percent?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo showed an expression of helplessness, as if a young man were moved by a righteous act and fighting for ideals, but the elders in the family were too worldly.

Liu Er patted Unlike Ning Zhuo on the shoulder: "Don't talk about thirty percent, even sixty percent, so what?"

"Your family's funding to this extent is naturally appropriate."

"It's just that currently..."

"Sigh, military advisor, you also know that when my Three Generals Camp was first created, the ownership of the spoils had already been promised out!"

"Where will the thirty percent of the spoils come from?"

"Hmm... perhaps it can be deducted from me, my second brother, and my third brother. It's just that it might have to be delayed for a period of time before it can be paid back."

Unlike Ning Zhuo stretched out his palm and smiled: "Regarding this matter, I also considered it clearly on the way back."

"It is time to take back the ownership of the spoils. Right now is the best time."

Liu Er expressed confusion: "Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Unlike Ning Zhuo explained: "After the ambush battle, our army re-stationed outside the Azure Forest Immortal City. Many cultivators are making a fuss, saying that the treatment here is too low and they want to leave the Three Generals Camp and go elsewhere."

Liu Er showed a look of shame: "This is my shallow ability and empty pockets, so I have no way to reward those who have made contributions. This is my fault!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Giving the ownership of the spoils to the soldiers is our greatest treatment."

"It's just that in the ambush battle, there were not many spoils to pick up, but instead, a lot of military strength was lost. Many soldiers' magic tools and the like have varying degrees of damage, and they are complaining that the maintenance subsidies we give are too little."

"Therefore, the soldiers think this contract is too disadvantageous."

"This is actually a gamble. Buying and leaving, only then does it fit the rules."

"If it were an ambush battle where they had a rich harvest, they would never have made such frequent trouble."

"Plus, the Bai Yu Camp has started recruiting soldiers again; although they are restrained, they are still wealthy. Many cultivators in the Three Generals Camp have been attracted by the good conditions they offer. But hindered by face and worrying about bearing the name of betrayal, joining other armies would lead to suspicion and exclusion, so they used the name of making trouble to achieve their goals."

Liu Er nodded, with a look of agreement: "What the military advisor said is very reasonable!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "Since they feel this contract is very disadvantageous, right now is the best time to go with the flow and cancel this agreement."

"The reason why it was promised before, in the final analysis, was also because our military funds were tight, and we had to use this to attract cultivators to join the army."

"Now, we have relatively abundant funds, and we can increase military pay to a standard level, or even higher than the front line."

"Don't forget, our Three Generals Camp was the most brilliant army in the ambush battle."

"Combined with our battle record, I believe many cultivators will come to join the army."

Liu Er lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, he looked up: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided lightly. Military advisor, please allow me to go back and think about it, and then discuss it with my second brother and third brother."

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded, full of agreement: "The General is deep in foresight, the fortune of the three armies, it should indeed be so."

At the peak of the distant mountain.

The demon cultivator old man sat cross-legged on a mountain rock, with a pool of blood beneath him.

Fresh blood flowed out from the outer corners of his eyes and from the giant eyeball between his brows, looking miserable.

Almost every day, he would secretly observe the changes in the fortune of the Three Generals Camp, even at a huge cost.

"Hmm?!"

The demon cultivator old man's expression changed suddenly.

He saw that the monkey fortune symbolizing the Three Generals Camp suddenly had a whirlwind spiraling out of its hands and feet. At the same time, the monkey's body shook slightly, suddenly expanding, becoming several times stronger than before, becoming mighty and majestic.

The powerful monkey stimulated the fortunes of the Bai Yu Camp and the Golden Halberd Army; the former's Bai Yu plaque rose higher and higher, while the latter's Golden Halberd light became sharper and sharper.

The monkey saw the situation was not good and immediately shrank back, returning to its original size. At first glance, there was no change, but if you looked carefully, you could find that the monkey fortune was more solid, lifelike, and its expression was agile.

"What's going on?"

"How did Little Six's fortune suddenly increase so much?"

The demon cultivator old man felt strange and also showed a look of worry: "The monkey shrinking represents Little Six's mentality; he doesn't want to make a big splash and confront Sun Gan of the Golden Halberd Army and Shuang Jing of the Bai Yu Camp head-on."

"This is not good; it doesn't match his life prophecy."

The demon cultivator old man traveled thousands of miles to come here and take action in person, just to maintain the Royal Order and reduce all other variables.

At this moment, finding the situation wrong, he immediately sent a secret letter, which flew into the Three Generals Camp.

Liu Er was currently discussing with Guan Hong and Zhang Hei whether to take the opportunity to take back the ownership of the spoils.

Zhang Hei expressed his opinion first: "The military advisor is absolutely right! These cultivators just want to take advantage. This time there were almost no spoils, so they made trouble. Why don't they think about the future when there is a great victory and rich spoils?"

This work was organized and uploaded by ~~

"Anyway, we have money now. Taking back this power, right now is the best opportunity. If we don't act now, it will be too late!"

After Zhang Hei finished speaking, he stared at Liu Er.

Seeing Liu Er smile and nod repeatedly at him, Zhang Hei chuckled.

Liu Er sighed in his heart: "Third brother's personality is reckless and straightforward, lacking thought, and he didn't see the two drawbacks in this at all. In future battles, it's best to keep him by my side."

Liu Er looked at Guan Hong again.

Guan Hong, while using a comb to groom his thick beard that reached his feet, said: "After the ambush battle, I have more confidence in the upcoming great battle."

"Taking back the ownership of the spoils is naturally more beneficial to us."

"But it cannot be pushed through forcefully."

"Once more resentment is caused, there will definitely be rumors, ruining the reputation of me and the others, saying that we do not keep our word."

"Even if these people accept the change now, if there is a great victory in the future and the spoils are extremely rich, they will also be restless, producing all kinds of resentment, and are more likely to be at odds with us."

"And we are upright gentlemen; once a word is spoken, a team of four horses cannot catch it, so we should naturally keep our promises. Otherwise, I would look down on myself!"

The smile on Liu Er's face increased a bit.

Guan Hong pointed out one of the two drawbacks, which made Liu Er feel happy.

"Second brother's character is upright, he values righteousness and keeps his word, and thinks deeply. Being able to think of this level is already not bad!"

Zhang Hei, hearing Guan Hong's words, said: "Why care about these petty people! We act on our own, considering all kinds of things, it's too troublesome. And the name of integrity, people with talent can distinguish it at a glance. Too many concerns, how to do things?"

Liu Er sighed.

Zhang Hei looked at Liu Er: "Big brother, tell me what to do, I'll listen to you."

Liu Er was about to speak when he suddenly sensed a secret letter, so he changed his words: "I'll consider it alone, you two virtuous brothers go practice."

Not long after Guan and Zhang left the main tent, Liu Er also secretly sneaked out and came to the mountain forest outside the military camp, meeting the demon cultivator old man again.

"Teacher, so you haven't left yet!" Liu Er bowed deeply, feeling sincerely happy.

Immediately, he asked with a look of confusion, concerned: "Teacher, is your expression not good because you encountered some troublesome things? Disciple will do his best to solve problems for his benefactor."

The demon cultivator old man's face was pale, which was caused by his constant observation of fortune and excessive blood loss.

The blood loss here was not just ordinary blood, but his essence and blood, and even his lifespan!

The demon cultivator old man shook his head slightly, not explaining the reason for his injury, but directly asked Liu Er.

A moment later, the old man figured out the reason for Liu Er's soaring fortune—Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"So it was caused by Unlike Ning Zhuo being wealthy and funding the Three Generals Camp with a large sum."

"This child is indeed a young talent; no wonder Liu Er misses him and pays special attention to him."

"However, this child is not in Liu Er's life prophecy."

"This proves that this child will not continue to play an important role in his Royal Order."

"The military advisor Liu Er relies on most in his life is still living in a hut and farming in the two-note kingdom."
