Chapter 107: then translation of title

~7 min read 1,368 words

The young emperor's illness had healed, his health such that even Sun Zhongquan found it hard to believe, and as for the matter of Zhang Baocao entering the palace to treat the illness, Zhang Baocao also sent a letter by Flying Pigeon to Li Miaozhu, and Li Miaozhu also revealed the matter.

After learning the situation, everyone also laughed heartily, including Shen Tianxing, who was preparing for his wedding the next day.

One month after completely taking Leizhou, Shen Tianxing's mission was nearly complete, awaiting today to distribute all the soldiers' Military Tokens and register them.

Adding the 50,000 Yue Family Army brought by Yue Yunyang, Shen Tianxing already had 120,000 troops from recruitment, while the 100 cavalry summoned from the system that Shen Tianxing currently has are not with him, and the assault troops, veteran soldiers, and archers together total only 3,000.

Of course, there were also 10,000 expendable infantry that could not be killed off, and Shen Tianxing discovered an interesting fact: as long as he continuously resurrected these expendable troops, their Loyalty remained 100%.

But if too many die, their Loyalty drops by 1% after 100 deaths, by 10% after 1,000 deaths, and if the death toll reaches 1,800, Loyalty falls below 10%, making desertion likely.

But this applies only to expendable troops; for higher-tier units, whether resurrected or not, their Loyalty stays the same, and of course, as long as there is enough Killing Value, Shen Tianxing will certainly choose to resurrect them, which is cheaper than buying a new token.

Moreover, the assault troops have already been dispersed by Shen Tianxing, after all, that 70,000-strong army also needs sufficient company commanders, regiment commanders, and battalion officers.

This shows the difference between system-summoned troops and those he summons himself: no matter what arrangements Shen Tianxing makes, they always obey.

Regardless of their positions, their relations are excellent, and their Loyalty toward Shen Tianxing will not drop; Shen Tianxing only needs to provide them with normal Military Salary and food to sustain them.

If it weren't for the system's requirement, Shen Tianxing would definitely exchange for more summoning tokens to summon more system troops, saving both effort and worry.

「Congratulations Host for successfully completing the Side Quest, rising in Leizhou. Reward: 2,000,000 Killing Value, Initial Soldier Armory, Special Item Blood‑Boiling Horn, three Famous General Summoning Cards, one Divine General Summoning Card, 300,000 dan of Grain and Fodder, 100,000 taels of silver. 」

Upon hearing the System Prompt, Shen Tianxing felt great delight, and what interested him most were the Initial Soldier Armory and the Blood‑Boiling Horn.

「Initial Soldier Armory, automatically produces soldier equipment; currently at the initial level it can only produce standard‑issue equipment, 100 sets per day, and can be upgraded using Killing Value. After upgrading, daily production quantity increases and quality improves. 」

Looking at the description of the soldier armory, Shen Tianxing's lips curled up; with such an armory, the soldiers under his command would never fear lacking equipment.

However, when Shen Tianxing checked the Killing Value required for the upgrade, he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

「The System uses 1,000,000 Killing Value to upgrade the Initial Soldier Armory to intermediate level. 」

「Congratulations Host for successfully upgrading the Initial Soldier Armory to intermediate level; currently it can produce standard‑issue equipment 500 sets per day, inferior‑grade equipment 100 sets per day, and the next upgrade requires 5,000,000 points of Killing Value. 」

Although the intermediate upgrade requires 5,000,000 Killing Value, for now Shen Tianxing is still very pleased with the armory; in one month, standard‑issue equipment, and the inferior‑grade equipment also amounts to 3,000 sets.

Such production speed is actually quite fast, and the produced equipment can be stored in the armory for ready use; in one year it can produce 180,000 sets of standard‑issue equipment, and the inferior‑grade also amounts to 30,000 sets.

「Blood‑Boiling Horn, when blown, allows allied soldiers who hear its sound to instantly enter a blood‑frenzied state, with all attributes doubled, lasting one two‑hour period; after the effect ends, all soldiers become weak for twelve two‑hour periods, and it can be blown only once per day. 」

This Blood‑Boiling Horn should really be called the Frenzied Horn; although its effect is extremely strong, its use also requires caution, otherwise there is always a risk of the entire army being wiped out.

Furthermore, when using it, soldiers not on the battlefield must plug their ears, otherwise they will spontaneously rush out to kill the enemy and will not obey commands at all.

Afterward, Shen Tianxing glanced at the System Package and saw it contained six Famous General Summoning Cards and one Divine General Summoning Card, and the Famous General Summoning Cards showed that they could be synthesized, with five combining into one Divine General Summoning Card.

Shen Tianxing chose to synthesize, thus obtaining two Divine General Summoning Cards and one Famous General Summoning Card; he then decided to summon two Divine Generals, while the Famous General Summoning Card would be saved until enough were gathered for another synthesis.

It's not that Shen Tianxing looks down on Famous Generals; it's just that if he can have Divine Generals, he certainly wants Divine Generals.

「Congratulations Host for successfully summoning Divine General Zhao Zilong and Divine General Luo Cheng; they will appear before the Host in a quarter of an hour. 」

Shen Tianxing's eyes lit up; these two are both masters of the spear, and they are versed in both civil and military affairs, but most importantly, Shen Tianxing really likes these two commanders.

Zhao Zilong is Rank Nine, Level Seven; his martial art is the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear at Perfection, the Wind‑Thunder Sword Technique at Peak, and his movement technique is the Wandering Dragon Step at Peak. His skills are Seven Advances Seven Retreats, Wholehearted Courage, and Unparalleled Indestructible Body.

Luo Cheng is Rank Nine, Level Five; his martial art is the Luo Family Spear at Perfection, the Hook‑Spear Technique at Peak, and his movement technique is Hundred Turns Thousand Returns. His skills are Brave Charge, Maneuver Warfare, and Victory Through Few Against Many.

Shen Tianxing was very pleased with them; both are capable of charging into battle and being entrusted with important duties as Divine Generals, sharing a sufficiently high Martial Dao Realm, and in the midst of chaotic troops, taking the head of a senior commander is as easy as reaching into a bag.

Shen Tianxing felt that if he had a few more such Divine Generals, plus a dozen or so Famous Generals, then with sufficient manpower he could conquer the Great Zhou dynasty in at most a year and a half.

「Congratulations Host for successfully taking Leizhou, triggering the Conquest Quest; please, Host, within six months capture Beizhou and Wuzhou, and upon completing the mission you can obtain a reward of 10,000,000 Killing Value, three Divine General Summoning Cards, and ten Famous General Summoning Cards.

One Super Guard Summon Token, three High‑Grade Guard Summon Tokens, one Divine Grade First‑Tier Soldier Summon Token, and one Super Second‑Tier Soldier Summon Token.

Grain and fodder each 1,000,000 dan, one High‑Grade Armory Upgrade Token; choose two Ultimate Martial Arts, choose one item from the System Mall priced at no more than 50,000,000 Killing Value, and 3,000,000 taels of silver.

The new mission rewards are very generous, and what excites Shen Tianxing most is the option to choose one item from the System Mall priced at no more than 50,000,000 Killing Value, giving him a plethora of choices.

Just as Shen Tianxing was feeling quite pleased, a messenger arrived in a hurry.

「Governor, outside the city a person calling himself Wang Dagang has arrived, claiming to be the Prefect of Luoxia City, bringing the troops that the Governor had him train, and wishing to see the Governor. 」

Shen Tianxing was quite surprised that Wang Dagang had actually come. This guy shouldn't have been busy training troops in Luoxia City? Yet he brought all the troops he had demanded Wang Dagang train? What is he planning to do?

「Go have Wang Dagang enter the city; as for the soldiers he brought, let them wait outside the city, and also have Commander Tian send people to secretly watch those soldiers outside the city. 」
