Chapter 536

The turmoil caused by the Three Generals Camp incident immediately spread to the entire front-line camp.

Army Supervisor Zhao Xi, with almost impeccable reasons, directly dismissed the Quartermaster, attracting the attention and awe of countless people.

As the saying goes, a new official applies three fires.

Zhao Xi's first fire could be said to have burned quite beautifully, establishing his authority all at once.

The Three Generals Camp, as an important role in it, also gave others a new understanding.

"This group of outsiders actually hooked up with Zhao Xi secretly."

"To be able to scheme against the Quartermaster, this hybrid Liu Er really cannot be underestimated!"

"Sigh, how could they have such courage and insight? It's nothing more than Zhao Xi designing behind the scenes and secretly instructing them to do so."

"From now on, we must treat the Three Generals Camp with caution. They have climbed up to Zhao Xi, and they are not to be trifled with."

For a time, the Three Generals Camp became famous.

Of course, not a good reputation.

Firstly, Liu Er is a hybrid, Liu, Generals Generals Guan, and Zhang are all outsiders, and the Three Generals Camp is a newly built army, with very few connections in the two kingdoms.

Secondly, Zhao Xi's own reputation has never been good. The two being linked together, in the eyes of everyone, definitely belongs to birds of a feather.

Regardless of what others criticized, the Three Generals Camp stood out among more than a dozen armies and became an existence that every soldier had to treat with caution.

The generals paid more attention to Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi's next move was much earlier than others expected.

One day later, Zhao Xi announced in public that after his patient negotiation, the Three Generals Camp strategist Ning Zhuo was willing to share his three types of mechanism creations to facilitate the army's faster cleaning of the battlefield.

And the three types of mechanism creations could be exchanged for military merit.

Naturally, all the soldiers developed a strong interest.

Upon trying them, the soldiers praised Ning Zhuo's mechanism works. Furthermore, they also had a good impression of Zhao Xi, who facilitated this matter.

"I didn't expect the Three Generals Camp strategist Ning Zhuo to have such ingenuity."

"Hmm, he is very skilled in mechanism arts. These mechanism creations are too targeted at the Ginseng Dragon Whisker, reducing our harvesting time by at least 80%!"

"He is worthy of being the man who can marry Mu Lan."

"Hiss... is he really only sixteen? Young and already the son-in-law of the Grand General Mu's mansion, and with such mechanism attainments, compared to him, I have lived in vain!"

"More than that. It is said that the entire military expenditure of the Three Generals Camp was funded by him, and he even funded the Red Flower Camp. Previously in Wood Wheel Town, he spent money like water, buying heavy armor, and bought out the Three Generals Camp's share at once! If it weren't for this, how could the Three Generals Camp afford so much heavy armor?"

"Young, rich, talented, and handsome..."

"He is also from a great clan."

"The only drawback is that his cultivation is too poor, only Foundation Establishment," someone said jealously.

"It's already very good! He is only sixteen; cultivators of this age are basically still in the Qi Refining period."

"Then the only drawback is that his head is a bit big," the jealous person was not reconciled.

"Is this a drawback? A big head makes one look smart. No, he is just very intelligent, otherwise how could he have such extraordinary attainments."

"Then his drawback is that his combat power is not..." the person picking faults couldn't go on, because he thought of the Jin Dan level combat power Ning Zhuo displayed in previous battles.

Along with the popularity of the mechanism creations, Ning Zhuo, as the inventor, also became widely known throughout the army.

Jin Dan and Nascent Soul level generals frequently moved out to sweep the battlefield.

The military merit gains of the generals soared, but it was difficult to shake Liu Er's top spot!

The reason is simple: there are not many Ginseng Dragon Whiskers left on the battlefield. In a situation where there are many monks and little porridge, although the generals' harvesting ability has greatly increased, the targets they can fight for are much fewer.

While everyone was fighting for Ginseng Dragon Whiskers, the Three Generals Camp began active and intensive training.

Thousand Peaks Forest, Alliance Front Camp.

In the council hall, the Heaven and Earth Ghosts publicly cast spells to display the images of the three heavy treasures before everyone.

The first is the Glazed Heart Blood of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King.

It is not a pool of blood, nor a stain of blood, but a crystal cluster buried in gravel.

The outer layer of the crystal cluster is almost completely transparent, while the inside contains a mass of earthy yellow slurry.

The slurry vibrates every seven breaths, like a heartbeat, producing various ripples.

Every time this ripple spreads outward, it can trigger a wave of earth-attribute spiritual energy in the surroundings.

The second is the Ginseng Root Wall Soil where the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King's body is rooted.

This soil is not soft, but crystal clear and moist, like a honeycomb. Each soil particle is hexagonal and closely fits with the surrounding soil particles, forming a stone block shape.

The soil presents a tender yellow luster, and just by its shape and color, it gives people a feeling of being extremely fertile and full of vitality.

What is strange is that the stones around it, like other gravel piles, did not give birth to dense weeds, vines, etc., because of its vigorous vitality.

This is because the Ginseng Root Wall Soil contains the deep meaning of earth attributes, and its vitality is very deep and introverted. Only by rooting in it can one absorb its surging nutrients.

The third is a huge dragon-shaped talisman.

It is like a dragon shadow wandering deep underground. Looking closely, every line of the talisman is full of dynamic feeling, as if the dragon tendons are rhythmically moving, ready to take flight at any time.

The talisman seems to contain infinite power, bringing pressure directly to the depths of one's heart, making people involuntarily respect it and fear it.

This is exactly one of the Dragon Vein Articles!

The eyes of the cultivators could not help but be attracted by the images of the heavy treasures.

Heaven Frost of the Heaven and Earth Ghosts urged: "It was also by chance that the two of us discovered these three heavy treasures."

Earth Gray continued: "Luck has arrived, but strength has not. Coming here this time is to sincerely invite people with lofty ideals to cooperate and dig up these three heavy treasures!"

Although the cultivators in Thousand Peaks Forest were generally moved, none of them agreed on the spot.

Someone looked hesitant: "These three heavy treasures are all on the battlefield. Of the cultivators who went to search the battlefield before, only one or two out of ten survived. Taking the heavy treasures this time is completely gambling with one's life."

"Isn't that so! The power of the two kingdoms' military equipment is terrifying; how many people have fallen on that battlefield?"

"Treasures are good, but life is more important!"

Heaven Frost snorted coldly: "We don't want cowards."

Earth Gray said: "Those who are confident in their own skills can contact us."

The cultivators discussed heatedly.

Lu Lu Lu Hongtu watched coldly from the sidelines.

At this moment, a strong wind blew in, and the door curtain was suddenly lifted.

A thin, withered old man walked in slowly.

He was thin and small in appearance, but he walked with a majestic bearing that made it impossible for people not to take him seriously.

In fact, seeing this old man arrive, all the cultivators present, including the Heaven and Earth Ghosts, bowed and greeted him one after another.

"Master Long!"

"You have finally returned." "You have come, and our alliance has a backbone!"

Chen Chen Lingfeng and others were the happiest.

Master Long scanned the circle and nodded slowly to everyone.

Then, in full view of everyone, he walked slowly and sat on the main seat that had been empty all along.

He looked around and said meaningfully: "In the days I was away, quite a few people are missing."

The whole place was silent.

Master Long looked at the images of the three heavy treasures in mid-air.

Heaven Frost smiled: "Master Long, you are the temple keeper of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King. Are you interested in recovering the Glazed Heart Blood and the Ginseng Root Wall Soil?"

Master Long said: "My god naturally doesn't look down on this bit of blood stains and mud."

"According to the god's temperament and capacity, this is considered a gift from the god to the world, left for those with affinity."

!

"If one were to mobilize the masses to recover it specifically for this, it would only invite laughter."

"If you are interested, you can try it."

Chen Chen Lingfeng was stunned when he heard this. He hated Lu Lu Lu Hongtu's inaction and looked forward to Master Long returning to restrain everyone, but he didn't expect Master Long to say such things.

Master Long continued: "At present, the Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain still exists and has not been destroyed by the enemy army. Rescuing the fellow believers on the Dragon King Mountain is the most important military situation at the moment!"

"You must listen to my command. Next, we need to consolidate military strength, actively train troops, and make full preparations for attacking the enemy's front-line military camp."

Everyone said in unison: "Yes."

Next, Master Long issued orders one by one to every cultivator present.

The Heaven and Earth Ghosts returned in disappointment.

Earth Gray: "This Master Long is old and cunning. Although he allowed cultivators to try to take the treasures, he issued strict military orders to restrain everyone. Our plan has failed."

Heaven Frost said: "One who can be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the coalition by the Dragon King is not a simple character. He probably already saw through our plot to lure people to their deaths and refine death-seeking ghosts, and is just playing dumb."

"Forget it."

"We instigated many cultivators before, and we have collected quite a few souls of cultivators, enough for us to refine a batch of death-seeking ghosts."

Earth Gray: "Currently, our first sect mission has been completed."

"It's time to find an opportunity to complete the second mission."

The two missions of the Heaven and Earth Ghosts: one is to help Thousand Peaks Forest build the Ghost Gate Pass to deal with the Iron Flow Plain military strategy. The second is to capture Ning Zhuo.

Heaven Frost said: "Previously, that Ning Zhuo was part of the Iron Flow Plain, so it was difficult for us to take action. Next, the two kingdoms' armies will likely move out in all directions, and we must lurk on the edge of the battlefield and wait for an opportunity to appear."

Earth Gray nodded: "Good."

Two Kingdoms, Front-line Camp.

A Jin Dan level warhorse, carrying a seriously injured and dying general, rushed toward the camp gate.

At the gate, the Jin Dan warhorse died of exhaustion.

The demon art that had been maintained also ended, and the dying general Xu Xu Dali fell to the ground.

The soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Xu Xu Dali was in a coma, and the soldiers couldn't wake him up, so they reported it immediately.

Soon, several military doctors ran over together, treated Xu Xu Dali's injuries urgently, and brought him into the camp for placement.

A dignified Nascent Soul level cultivator was in such a miserable situation. Xu Xu Dali's situation made many soldiers who learned of this sigh.

Since the Barbarian Demon Camp was rebuilt, it had been repeatedly hit, and now the entire army had been wiped out.

These days, it was not just Xu Xu Dali who returned, but many armies had traveled long distances, breaking through many blockades and ambushes, and successfully joined the main force.

Their casualties were generally high.

The wiped-out Barbarian Demon Camp of Xu Xu Dali was an exception.

Army Supervisor Zhao Xi presided over military affairs, broke up and reorganized many armies that were under-staffed, and allowed some soldiers to choose for themselves.

The Three Generals Camp became the object of choice for many soldiers.

The top spot on the military merit list made them see the strength of the Three Generals Camp.

Learning that the Three Generals Camp was in the same line as Zhao Xi, and that Zhao Xi was now in power, more people chose to join Liu Er's command.

Liu Er left the camp, and the number of times he harvested Ginseng Dragon Whiskers had greatly decreased. Every time he took action, it was just to maintain the top spot on the list.

Reputation was also very important to the Three Generals Camp.

The military merit list only publicized the ranking, not the amount of military merit of each person.

But Army Supervisor Zhao Xi knew these secrets and secretly informed the Three Generals Camp, allowing the Three Generals Camp to precisely control the score, firmly guard the top spot on the list, and also train the soldiers as much as possible.

"Take a good look at this intelligence and pick out suitable targets for attack. Remember, destroy it after reading." Zhao Xi sent his confidants to send a lot of intelligence to Ning Zhuo.

The map was marked in detail.

With the Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain as the center, the surrounding strongholds were clear at a glance.

The four people, Liu, Generals Generals Guan, Zhang, and Ning, gathered around the map for a secret and heated discussion.

While most soldiers were scavenging the battlefield, they were already choosing the next target for their advance.

Zhang Hei said: "Of the hundred arts of cultivation, alchemy is the first! The first target doesn't need to be thought about, it's this—Ginseng Root Hundred Grass Cave."

Generals Generals Guan Hong stroked his beard: "Although there are alchemy rooms in the Hundred Grass Cave, medicinal pills are extremely easy to transport and damage. If we go to attack there, I'm afraid the gains will not be great. It's better to attack the Ten-Mile Burning Forest; this is the best place for refining weapons in Thousand Peaks Forest. Magic tools and magic treasures, especially large ones, are not easy to transport and damage, so the gains will be guaranteed."

Zhang Hei was stunned: "Oh, that's right, Second Brother."

Liu Er pointed to a point on the map: "This is the Thousand Vine Talisman Sky Corridor. According to the intelligence, the vines here grow intertwined, not only forming a corridor outside the mountain but also forming living talismans."

"Every vine leaf is a different type of talisman."

"If our army can get this batch of talismans, according to the relationship with Lord Zhao Xi, we will definitely be able to deduct a large amount in advance and offset it with military merit afterwards."

"This will inevitably be of great help to our army's subsequent battles."

Zhang Hei hummed, showing approval: "Your idea, Big Brother, is also very good."

Ning Zhuo pondered: "The Cloud Shoulder Dragon-Greeting Terrace is a Flying Peak that has been transformed. If our army can occupy it, we will leap to become an existence like the Fire Cloud Camp and be able to stand in the air to fight."

"If in the future, we continue to transform this Flying Peak and build military camps or even cities, it will be our army's foundation."

Zhang Hei glared: "The strategist's idea is even better, too wonderful!"

Liu Er and Generals Generals Guan Hong were also attracted by the prospects described by Ning Zhuo, and for a time, they were a little lost.

Zhang Hei lowered his head and stared at the military map: "These are all good places, where should we attack?"

The other three fell into deep thought again, and for a time, it was difficult to decide.
