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, new officials bring three fires.

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

As an important role in this, the Three Generals Camp also gave others a new understanding.

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

"Being able to plot against the Quartermaster, this hybrid Liu Er is really not to 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; they are not to be trifled with."

For a time, the Three Generals Camp became famous.

Of course, it was not a good reputation.

Firstly, Liu Er was a hybrid, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were all outsiders, and the Three Generals Camp was a newly built army with very few connections in Liangzhu Kingdom.

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

Regardless of how others criticized, the Three Generals Camp stood out among the dozen or so armies and became an existence that every soldier had to treat with caution.

The generals paid even more attention to Zhao Xi.

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

One day later, Zhao Xi announced in public that after his patient negotiation, explaining the righteousness and moving with emotion, the Three Generals Camp strategist Unlike 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 by relying on military merit.

Naturally, all the soldiers developed a strong interest.

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

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

"Hmm, he is very skilled in mechanism arts. These mechanism creations are too targeted at the Ginseng Dragon Beard, 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 years old? 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 Three Generals Camp's military expenses were subsidized by him, and he even subsidized the Red Flower Camp. Previously in Wood Wheel Town, he spent money like water, buying heavy armor in large quantities, emptying the Three Generals Camp's quota at once! If not 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 base is too poor, only Foundation Establishment," someone said jealously.

"That's already very good! He is only sixteen years old; cultivators of this age are basically still in the Qi Condensation stage."

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

"Is that 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 continue, because he thought of the Jin Dan-level combat power Unlike Ning Zhuo had displayed in previous battles.

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

Jin Dan-level 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 was simple: there were not many Ginseng Dragon Beards left on the battlefield. In a situation where there were many monks and little porridge, although the generals' harvesting ability increased greatly, the targets they could compete for were much fewer.

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

Thousand Peaks Forest, Alliance Front Camp.

In the council hall, the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts cast spells in public, displaying the images of the three heavy treasures before everyone's eyes.

The first was the Glazed Heart Blood of the Ginseng Beard Long Wang.

It was not a pool of blood, nor a stain of blood, but a crystal cluster buried in rubble.

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

Every seven breaths, the slurry would vibrate, as if a heartbeat, producing various ripples.

Every time these ripples spread outward, they could trigger a wave of earth-attribute spiritual energy in the surroundings.

The second was the Ginseng Root Wall Soil where the Ginseng Beard Long Wang's body was rooted.

This soil was not loose, but crystal clear and moist, like a honeycomb. Each soil particle presented a hexagonal shape and was closely attached to the surrounding soil particles, forming a stone block shape.

The soil presented a tender yellow luster, and just by its appearance and color, it gave people a feeling of being extremely fertile and full of vitality.

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

This was because the Ginseng Root Wall Soil contained the deep meaning of the earth element, and its vitality was very deep and introverted. Only by rooting in it could one absorb its surging nutrients.

The third was a huge dragon-shaped talisman.

It was like a dragon shadow wandering deep underground. Looking closely, every line of the talisman was full of dynamism, as if dragon tendons were rhythmically moving, ready to soar away at any time.

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

This was precisely one of the Dragon Vein Articles!

The eyes of all the cultivators couldn't help but be attracted by the images of the heavy treasures.

Heaven Frost of the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts agitated: "It was also a coincidence that the two of us discovered these three heavy treasures."

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

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

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

"Isn't that so! The power of the Liangzhu Kingdom's 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 Hongtu watched coldly.

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

A withered old man walked in slowly.

He was thin and small in appearance, but he walked with a vigorous demeanor that made it impossible not to value him.

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

"Lord Long!"

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

Chen Lingfeng and others were the happiest.

Lord Long scanned the circle and nodded slowly to everyone.

Then, under the gaze 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 were lost."

The whole hall was silent.

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

Heaven Frost smiled: "Lord Long, you are the temple keeper of the Ginseng Beard Long Wang; are you interested in recovering the Glazed Heart Blood and the Ginseng Root Wall Soil?"

Lord Long said: "My God doesn't look down on these blood stains and mud."

"According to His nature and capacity, this is considered His feedback to the world, leaving gifts for those with affinity."

!

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

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

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

Lord Long continued: "At present, the Long Wang Giant Wood Mountain still exists and has not been destroyed by the enemy army. Rescuing the fellow believers on the Long Wang Mountain is the most important military situation right now!"

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

Everyone said in unison: "Yes."

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

The Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts returned disappointed.

Earth Gray: "This Lord Long is cunning. Although he allowed cultivators to try to take the treasures, he issued strict military orders to restrain everyone. Our plan fell through."

Heaven Frost said: "How could the person appointed by the Long Wang as the commander-in-chief of the coalition be a simple character? He probably already saw through our plot to lure people to their deaths and refine death-seeking ghosts, just pretending to be confused."

"Forget it."

"We instigated many cultivators before, and the souls of the cultivators we scavenged are not few, enough for us to refine a batch of death-seeking ghosts."

Earth Gray: "At present, 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 Twin Ghosts were to help the Thousand Peaks Forest construct the Ghost Gate Pass to deal with the Iron Flow Flat Plain military tactics. The second was to capture Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Heaven Frost said: "Previously, that Unlike Ning Zhuo was a member of the Iron Flow Flat Plain, and it was difficult for us to take action. Next, the Liangzhu Kingdom's army is likely to move out in all directions; we must lurk on the edge of the battlefield and wait for the opportunity to appear."

Earth Gray nodded: "Good."

Liangzhu Kingdom, front-line camp.

A Jin Dan-level warhorse, carrying a critically injured 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 critically injured general Xu Dali fell to the ground.

The soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Xu Dali was in a state of coma; the soldiers couldn't wake him up and reported it immediately.

Soon, several military doctors ran over together, handled Xu Dali's injuries urgently, and brought him into the camp to settle him.

A dignified Nascent Soul-level cultivator actually ended up in such a miserable situation. Xu Dali's predicament made many soldiers who learned of this sigh endlessly.

Since the Barbarian Demon Camp was newly built, it had repeatedly suffered blows, and now the entire army was wiped out.

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

Their casualties were generally high.

The Barbarian Demon Camp wiped out by Xu Dali was considered an individual case.

Army Supervisor Zhao Xi presided over military affairs, breaking up and reorganizing many armies that were under-staffed, allowing a portion of the 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 Beards had been greatly reduced. Every time he took action, it was just to maintain the top position 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, enabling the Three Generals Camp to control the score accurately, firmly guard the top of the list, and also train soldiers to the greatest extent possible.

"Look at this intelligence carefully and pick out suitable targets for attack. Remember, destroy it after reading." Zhao Xi sent his confidants to deliver a lot of intelligence to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

The map was marked in detail.

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

Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning, the four of them, surrounded the map and conducted a secret and enthusiastic discussion.

While most soldiers were scavenging the battlefield, they were already choosing their next targets for advancement.

Zhang Hei said: "Of the hundred arts of cultivation, alchemy is first! Don't think about the first target, it's this one—Wriggling Root Hundred Grass Cave."

Guan Hong stroked his beard: "Although there is an alchemy room in the Hundred Grass Cave, medicinal pills are extremely easy to transport and destroy. If we go to attack that place, 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 tools in the Thousand Peaks Forest. Magic tools and magic treasures, especially large ones, are not easy to transport and destroy, so the gains will be guaranteed."

Zhang Hei was stunned: "Oh, well said, Second Brother."

Liu Er pointed to a point on the map: "This is the Thousand Vine Talisman 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 obtain this batch of talismans, according to Lord Zhao Xi's relationship, we will definitely be able to deduct a large amount in advance and offset it with military merit afterward."

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

Zhang Hei gave a hum, showing approval: "Big Brother's idea is also very good."

Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered: "The Cloud Shoulder Greeting Dragon Platform 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, capable of standing 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 the foundation of our army."

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

Liu Er and Guan Hong were also attracted by the prospects described by Unlike Ning Zhuo, and for a time, they were all a bit distracted.

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.
