Chapter 516

Mu Lun Town.

The Red Flower Camp set up camp.

In the main general's tent, Mu Lan woke up slowly and saw Ning Zhuo and Zhang Zhang Zhongyi standing by the bed.

She wanted to get up, but Ning Zhuo pressed her shoulder: "General Mu Lan, although you have woken up, you should still focus on recuperation. The Red Flower Camp has now returned safely. Your deputy general has already reported to Commander Du, and is currently camping outside Mu Lun Town. Everything is very good."

Mu Lan's expression softened.

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi on the other side added: "General Mu Lan, you forcibly activated the second arrow, which exceeded your body's limit."

"Fortunately, this time we had the help of Young Master Ning Zhuo again, and he took out quite a few Jin Dan and Nascent Soul level treasure materials to serve as medicinal materials."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have woken up so quickly."

Mu Lan then looked at Ning Zhuo: "Young Master... Ning, thank you."

Ning Zhuo smiled: "General Mu Lan, no need to be polite, my mechanism army is under your command."

"Speaking of which, the reason I crushed the protective talisman you gave me was actually to see if there were any war merits to be gained on your side."

"Those two arrows of yours can be called stunning in the world, causing two Nascent Soul level combat powers to Zhao Die and flee. I am amazed!"

The combat power of the Pale Moon Ancient God was also at the Nascent Soul level.

If it were Soul Transformation level, it would have long been on par with the Dragon King of the Whisker. The status of the Pale Moon tribe would be much higher than it is now.

Mu Lan said: "If the opponent were an existence like Lord Long, I would only have one arrow if I tried my best."

"But against the Pale Moon Ancient God and Di Lu, I deliberately held back my strength in the first arrow, so it was possible to shoot the second arrow."

Ning Zhuo praised: "As expected of a divine ability level means, even the dojo cannot stifle the power of the divine arrow. How fast is the Nascent Soul's escape, but Di Lu simply didn't have this chance."

Mu Lan said with a hint of pride: "This means of mine has been cultivated since I was a child. My father started from my talent, spent a lot of money and connections, and invited several famous teachers to teach me martial arts and military strategy."

"Up to now, there are finally some results."

In fact, after this battle, Mu Lan also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the previous ambush, she led the Red Flower Camp to fight, but the results were meager, which put great pressure on the Mu Upper General's Mansion. As a result, after returning to the Pale Forest Immortal City, they immediately suffered calculations and difficulties from various forces in the country.

This time, although the situation was dangerous, the result was good. It caused two Nascent Soul level hostile combat powers to Zhao Die and flee, a result sufficient to save the face of the Mu Upper General's Mansion. It allowed Mu Lan, who led the Red Flower Camp to expedition, to be taken more seriously, greatly relieving the pressure from the imperial court.

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi said: "Speaking of which, last time in the Pale Forest Immortal City, thanks to Young Master Ning Zhuo, we solved our predicament and had the opportunity to continue leading troops and making contributions in the future."

"This time, the risky expedition to Thousand Peaks Forest was also thanks to Young Master Ning Zhuo's timely rescue. Otherwise, the Red Flower Battle Formation would have failed to form, and we would have suffered heavy casualties and very likely been defeated."

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi sighed.

Ning Zhuo waved his hand hurriedly: "Where, where. Without me, according to General Mu Lan's ability, there would still be a possibility of winning."

Mu Lan shook her head slightly: "The winning rate is not high. To be able to win this time and achieve such results, Young Master Ning Zhuo, you have contributed a lot. Don't worry, I will report your merits, and there will be no omissions."

Ning Zhuo immediately smiled: "General, please rest first. My mechanism army has suffered heavy losses and needs to be produced and replenished in time. Please allow me to take my leave."

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi was stunned and stared at Ning Zhuo's back.

Mu Lan nodded: "Replenishing troops is very important. Young Master Ning Zhuo does need to race against time, so I won't see you off."

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi stared again, this time at Mu Lan.

Whether it was Mu Lan or Ning Zhuo, they both felt inexplicable about Zhang Zhang Zhongyi.

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi sighed deeply and couldn't stop shaking his head.

Ning Zhuo left the Red Flower Camp, returned to the Three Generals Camp, and paid a visit to the three generals Liu, Generals Generals Guan, and Zhang.

The four talked and recounted their experiences.

After the Three Generals Camp won, under the escort of Shen Shen Qinghe, they immediately marched, left the Dice Bone Giant Wood Mountain, and returned all the way.

Ning Zhuo's combat experience and results made the three generals envious.

Zhang Hei sighed rarely: "If I had known this, I should have gone with the military advisor. It's a pity, really a pity. I have only captured a Nascent Soul level demon cultivator alive with my two sworn brothers, but I haven't really killed one yet."

Ning Zhuo spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "General Zhang, I was just being beaten. The one who really took action was General Mu Lan."

Generals Generals Guan Hong stroked his beard and sighed: "The Red Heart Swan Arrow is truly sharp!"

Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo: "I have listened to the whole thing, and I know: if it weren't for the military advisor's timely rescue, I'm afraid the Red Flower Camp's situation would be worrying. The military advisor took such a strange risk this time, and he is the greatest contributor to the victory of this battle, and he deserves such war merits. If this commendation comes down, if the military advisor doesn't take the lion's share, I won't approve."

When Liu Er said this, he was serious, sincere, and from the bottom of his heart.

His hatred for Ning Zhuo was no longer as intense as before.

Zhang Hei was puzzled: "Didn't Lord Shen Shen Qinghe say that every route has Nascent Soul level experts secretly escorting them? Why didn't the Red Flower Camp have any strong reinforcements from beginning to end?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head with a bitter smile.

Liu Er and Generals Generals Guan Hong looked at each other and fell into silence.

Zhang Hei asked again: "By the way, why hasn't the Golden Halberd Army returned yet?"

Liu Er guessed: "The Golden Halberd Army is powerful, maybe they charged too deep, so the route for them to retreat is much longer than ours."

Just as the four were discussing this, a soldier reported urgently, bringing a shocking piece of news to the four.

"What? The Golden Halberd Army was wiped out!"

Liu, Generals Generals Guan, Zhang, and Ning learned this news and looked at each other, all looking astonished.

Generals Generals Guan Hong reacted first, his brows furrowed, and he said very solemnly: "If we really talk about overall combat power, our Three Generals Camp would not be the Golden Halberd Army's opponent."

Zhang Hei nodded: "Even if I and the two sworn brothers went out together and performed extraordinarily, entangling Sun Gan, the Golden Halberd Army could still beat the Three Generals Camp to the ground."

Liu Er sighed: "Four armies went out, but I didn't expect that the strongest Golden Halberd Army would be wiped out in the end."

The Golden Halberd Army is one of the imperial guards of the Liangzhu Kingdom.

Their equipment is the best, and their training is the most disciplined.

The Three Generals Camp only mastered three battle formations, while the Golden Halberd Army mastered no less than ten.

Commander Sun Gan is also a strong man among the Nascent Soul level.

The Golden Halberd Army is completely a first-class army in the Liangzhu Kingdom.

According to this positioning, they can be considered a trump card in the Liangzhu Kingdom's army.

According to common sense, they shouldn't have been used as cannon fodder.

But the reality is that they not only attacked Thousand Peaks Forest, but also became the only army among the four that was defeated and did not return.

Even the Nascent Soul level expert secretly dispatched by Du Du Tiechuan was killed!

Liu, Generals Generals Guan, Zhang, and Ning studied this military report together.

Zhang Hei: "The Golden Halberd Army's opponents were only two Nascent Souls. One is Gu Ya, and the other is the contemporary Elephant King."

"We all know Gu Ya's strength. Looking at it this way, the contemporary Elephant King is the key to wiping out the Golden Halberd Army."

Generals Generals Guan Hong: "This demon cultivator is from the Pale Savage Elephant, usually not irritable or impulsive, and rarely takes action. I didn't expect that this time he took action, it would be earth-shattering, and he would wipe out a first-class army of the Liangzhu Kingdom!"

Liu Er: "Judging from the results, this time Commander Du's probing attack, our side killed one Nascent Soul level, severely injured several, but lost Sun Gan and the Golden Halberd Army. Overall, it can be considered a small defeat."

Ning Zhuo remained silent.

He recalled the intelligence of the contemporary Elephant King and sighed in his heart: "If I had a physical body like his, I would definitely be able to withstand more of the Warrior's Return Technique and wouldn't be as embarrassed as I was when dealing with Di Lu."

The Warrior's Return Technique has great potential.

This military strategy has a great background, and it was realized by Ning Zhuo from "Gao Sheng's Last Testament." When he realized it, he also used the Soldier's Helmet.

Whether it is "Gao Sheng's Last Testament" or the Soldier's Helmet, they are all treasures of the military family.

It was Ning Zhuo's physical foundation that limited the performance of this military strategy.

Ning Zhuo recalled the previous battle, even though Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yechu sacrificed one after another, he didn't dare to include both in the Warrior's Return Technique, for fear that he wouldn't be able to withstand it and would be burst open.

"Is there any way to make my physical foundation soar in a short time?"

Ning Zhuo was a little troubled.

After returning to the Pale Forest Immortal City, he purchased many war materials. Among them were many talismans and elixirs that could enhance the physical foundation in a short time.

But compared to the needs of the Warrior's Return Technique, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Ning Zhuo calculated—if we really compare the effects, these elixirs, spiritual foods, and talismans are far inferior to the evil way of using the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat.

"Of course, this is also because the elixirs and talismans in the Pale Forest Immortal City are not particularly high-end, mainly materials for war."

"If this time, Commander Du can reward merits, maybe I can request some high-end elixirs and talismans?"

Ning Zhuo is currently in the 【Treasure Medicine Nourishment】 stage of the Qi Refining period.

This stage emphasizes the fusion of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, and it is no longer the accumulation of quantity required in the previous 【Opening Field Without Obstacles】 stage.

Therefore, national power bricks are not very applicable.

"National power bricks are definitely the more the better. It's just..."

Ning Zhuo wanted the growth of his physical foundation more.

It would be best to reach the standard as soon as possible, so that he could use the Warrior's Return Technique as a lever to exert Nascent Soul level combat power!

"War is a dangerous thing."

"Even the Golden Halberd Army was wiped out."

"After several battles, it can be found that in this level of battlefield, one must at least be at the Nascent Soul level to be relatively safe and reliable."

"Of course, luck is also indispensable."

"My luck seems to be..."

Ning Zhuo had rolled six points every time in the battle against the Dice Bone Demon God before.

But in the Battle of Moon Hook Mountain not long ago, he only rolled five points.

"My luck is no longer as strong as before."

"In fact, at Dice Bone Giant Wood Mountain, Boss Sun and I almost died."

"In the end, although we gained huge benefits, it also proved that luck is indeed going downhill."

"Alas, what on earth is going on with all this?"

Ning Zhuo had been unaware of the strange changes in this luck and fortune, and it was completely a muddled account.

After saying goodbye to the three generals, Ning Zhuo returned to his own tent, immediately dived into the mechanism wandering dragon, and began to make mechanism puppets.

The mechanism army in his hand had less than 20% left, suffering heavy losses, and urgently needed replenishment.

Moreover, judging from Ning Zhuo's current situation, the importance of the mechanism army is much greater than that of Meng Yechu and Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng.

Losing one or two Jin Dan level mechanism combat powers is not that critical.

But if Ning Zhuo didn't have a mechanism army, he wouldn't be able to improve his own combat power. On the battlefield, relying on a few Jin Dan external forces to protect him is definitely not as timely and reliable as himself.

Therefore, Ning Zhuo prioritized making mechanism puppets instead of repairing Meng Yechu and Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng first.

The three mechanism pedestals, including the Xuanyuan Nine-Work Platform, worked hard, and the efficiency of making mechanism puppets was dozens of times that of Ning Zhuo personally.

Ning Zhuo was not idle either; he had to control and pay attention to the production process at all times.

Sun Sun Lingtong learned on the side.

"Xiao Zhuo, teach me."

"I will try to learn it sooner and replace you in making mechanism puppets."

"In this way, you will have time to use the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat for cultivation."

Although Sun Sun Lingtong's mechanism attainments were not small, they were ultimately not as good as Ning Zhuo's.

He asked for advice carefully, and Ning Zhuo didn't hide anything and taught him everything.

Sun Sun Lingtong was intelligent and understood everything at once, and with serious focus, he made rapid progress.

Just when the two were working and learning, a messenger came to pass a message.

"Commander Du summoned me?" Ning Zhuo left the wandering dragon, feeling a little surprised.

Liu Er expressed concern: "It won't be that we killed that Iron Eagle Army Supervisor, so Du Du Tiechuan came to settle the account, right?"

Generals Generals Guan Hong was very righteous: "This matter, the three of us all have a share. If we really want to settle the account, we will all take the blame together."

Zhang Hei shouted: "What blame? That Iron Eagle acted on impulse, there was no military order at all. Besides, it wasn't us who took action."

Ning Zhuo stroked the mechanism ring, his expression calm: "I suspect that if Commander Du wants to settle the account, he will summon the four of us. Now that he is summoning me alone, there should be other matters."

"No problem."

"I will go to see him, and then I will know."

Ning Zhuo followed the messenger and left the Three Generals Camp.

The three generals saw him off.

Zhang Hei: "To be honest, although the military advisor is young, he is very brave."

Generals Generals Guan Hong stroked his beard: "Indeed a good man."

Liu Er's annoyance with Ning Zhuo at this time had decreased a lot, and he looked at Ning Zhuo's departing back, silent.

Ning Zhuo entered Mu Lun Town, was led all the way, and saw the Soul Transformation level existence again.

"Military Advisor of the Three Generals Camp, pays respects to Commander Du." Ning Zhuo performed a military salute.

Du Du Tiechuan kept his eyes on the document and didn't even lift his head: "You subdued the Dice Bone Demon God, that's very good."

"There is some military intelligence now, and I need to ask it."

"You sit down first, someone will come to calculate your luck later."

Not long after, a young cultivator walked in slowly: "Song Ji, pays respects to Commander Du."

Song Ji had a Nascent Soul aura, his face was like autumn water, he was wearing a green robe, and he had a very elegant temperament.

Du Du Tiechuan then looked up, looked at the young cultivator and nodded slightly: "Trouble, Offering Song, calculate for Ning Zhuo first."

Song Ji took the order, came to Ning Zhuo, and pinched his fingers to calculate.

"Your luck is strong, but it is rootless water, and you have already used up most of it, with little remaining."

"Subduing the Dice Bone Demon God should be the gain that cost you the most luck."
