The distribution of the spoils of war was soon decided, and all of the Goguryeon corpses in the base were looted clean.
— — Wang Chong didn't forget that each of these Goguryeons had a Goguryeon ginseng!
While the battle at the first base had ended, the battles at the other bases were still ongoing.
【Congratulations to user for killing 301 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 302 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 303 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
...
The familiar voice in his head continued. The number of Goguryeons Wang Chong had 'killed' swiftly surpassed three hundred, and it was still rising at an alarming rate.
The exhilaration of growing strength was indescribable!
I didn't think that borrowing the token of The King of Song would bring me such great benefits. However, it's a pity that such a good thing only comes once. I'll have to return it to The King of Song after the operation!
Wang Chong couldn't help but feel some regret.
Princes had their own tokens, and officials had their own tokens. These tokens issued by the royal court had to be kept close to their bodies. They could be lent out occasionally, but it was impossible for them to not return it for a long period of time.
Thus, Wang Chong's beautiful plans could only be wishful thinking at this point.
After leaving the first base, Wang Chong brought Miyasame Ayaka and the experts of the Zhuang and Chi Clans with him, and they rushed to the other bases.
Wang Chong's plan was simple. Due to the augmentation of his Bane of the Battlefield, the strength of the Goguryeons in the first base had been greatly weakened.
However, the same couldn't be said for the other bases.
If he were to encounter those troublesome Goguryeon bases with too many experts, his Bane of the Battlefield would be able to end the battle swiftly.
【Congratulations to user for killing 485 soldiers of the Goguryeon Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 486 soldiers of the Goguryeon Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 487 soldiers of the Goguryeon Empire!】
...
The information in his head flowed like a waterfall. At this moment, Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield had already expanded to a radius of more than eight thousand meters, equivalent to a distance of sixteen li!
About an hour later, all the battles were over. At the same time, the total number of Goguryeon warriors killed by Wang Chong also stopped at 623!
Wang Chong's' Bane of the Battlefield 'halo also had a range of 11,000 meters. Other than that, there were dozens of boxes of Goguryeon ginseng, and eighty percent of them were golden in color. Very few of them were the ordinary white ginseng that was only a few decades old.
All of these iron boxes were sent to Wang Chong's mansion.
This was the reward for being the commander and the victor!
"Hahaha, Chong-er, we've done a great service this time!"
Outside the walls of No.8's base, a towering tree towered into the clouds, brimming with vitality. Beneath the tree, Uncle Li Lin's face was flushed red. Looking at the blazing flames in front of him, he was in high spirits and exhilaration.
He really needed this kind of military merit!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to rely solely on Zhao Fengchen to promote him in the Imperial Army. With this meritorious deed, even without Zhao Fengchen's promotion, he would still be able to rise through the ranks.
The more he looked at his nephew, the more he liked him, and the prouder he felt. Other people relied on fawning on their superiors, but he relied on his nephew to rise.
However, Li Lin didn't think much of it.
To have such a talented son in the clan was something to be proud of. After a few decades of silence, he was finally going to soar into the sky.
"Hehe, uncle, don't worry. This is just a small contribution. Once we capture King Sosurim, it'll be a huge contribution. It'll be easy for uncle to be promoted in the future! "
Wang Chong said with a smile as he stood beside his uncle. After a period of absence, Wang Chong realized that his uncle had changed a little.
His figure was tall and straight, as though a spear was pierced into the ground. Furthermore, his spirit, energy, and psyche were united, and he exuded an aura of boundless vitality.
Without a doubt, Wang Chong's uncle's cultivation had improved significantly during this period of time. The cultivation technique he had given him had finally come into effect. His efforts hadn't been in vain.
Wang Chong felt gratified as well.
The reason why Wang Chong introduced Zhao Fengchen to Uncle Li Lin was because he didn't want his uncle to be beneath Zhao Fengchen for the rest of his life. Following Zhao Fengchen was just a means, a process, and not his final goal.
Wang Chong's final goal was for his uncle to become an independent existence in the Imperial Army, not a follower!
"Uncle, carry five boxes of those Goguryeon ginseng over. Also, I'll give you a few more pills after some time. "
Wang Chong suddenly said.
"Hehe, why? Are you afraid that your uncle's cultivation is too low? "
Li Lin turned around and chuckled.
"Hehe, uncle, do you think that your position is too high? If I recall correctly, the Imperial Army should be divided into many factions. It's always better to be stronger. Besides, the ranks of the Imperial Army are also linked to one's cultivation, right? There's nothing wrong with uncle bringing these things over to increase your strength as much as possible. "
Wang Chong said.
He had intended to give a few more boxes over, but five boxes already amounted to more than three thousand Goguryeon ginseng. It was sufficient for Uncle Li Lin to cultivate by himself.
Li Lin didn't say a word, but he fell into deep thought.
His initial intention was to reject Wang Chong's offer. After all, the contribution he had was more than enough. As for the Goguryeon ginseng, since they were his kin, there was no need for him to fight over them.
However, upon hearing Wang Chong's final words, Li Lin fell silent.
There were a few things that Wang Chong said that the Imperial Army was divided into many factions, and they were far more formidable than the outside world could imagine. Just by following Zhao Fengchen for a short period of time, he could already feel a strong sense of rejection.
In the Imperial Army, strength was everything, and the 'fist' was king.
Whoever had the bigger fist had the right to speak, and they would be respected by others.
"Alright!"
Li Lin nodded. He had finally changed his mind.
Only then did Wang Chong smile.
"Reporting to the two lords, the battlefield has been cleaned up!"
At this moment, an Imperial Guard trotted over and stood respectfully before the two of them.
"Good. You may leave. "
Li Lin waved his hands and dismissed the Imperial Army member. Then, he turned to look at Wang Chong with a passionate gaze:
"Chong-er, the battle is over. What do you plan to do next? "
"Hehe, I hope you didn't alert the enemy with the final base?"
Wang Chong said.
"Hehe, I didn't move!"
Li Lin nodded in understanding.
"Alright, let's retreat!"
After sending Uncle Li Lin off, Wang Chong turned around and headed straight for the Royal Jade Pavilion. This was an opportune moment.
The shops in the capital weren't open at night. And the Wang Clan was too conspicuous. However, with the Royal Jade Pavilion as his base, it was much more convenient. He didn't have to worry about attracting attention.
Even if others saw him eating in the pavilion, they would only think that he liked the food here, so he came here more frequently. Never would they have thought that he had bought this place.
Even more so, Ma Yinlong, The Eagle, Steel Arms, and Solitary Wolf were all stationed here.
"How is it?"
As soon as Wang Chong went up the stairs, the four immediately gathered around him and asked anxiously.
Wang Chong made an 'OK' gesture, and upon seeing the doubtful gazes of the four, he realized that they didn't understand what he meant.
"It's done."
With a smile, Wang Chong corrected himself. You must be joking! After mobilizing so many Imperial Army members and borrowing the prestige of The King of Song, it would be a wonder if they still couldn't deal with this.
"Hu!"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, the four heaved a long sigh of relief. It was as though their hearts had finally settled back into their chests.
"Wang gongzi, please don't blame us for the operation tonight. King Sosurim is too familiar with us. Thus, none of us can participate in the operation tonight. Not only so, not even a single one of The Eagle's eagles can be released. It's not a good thing to be exposed too early. "
"If King Sosurim realizes that we are participating in the operation tonight, the nature of the operation will be different. In fact, he might even cancel the operation altogether. "
Ma Yinlong suddenly thought of something and explained.
"Don't worry, I understand."
Wang Chong chuckled casually and waved his hands, gesturing for Ma Yinlong to be at ease. Since he trusted Ma Yinlong and the others, how could he possibly doubt them for not putting in enough effort?
Looking at Wang Chong's carefree expression, the four couldn't help but be impressed. Even though this gongzi was young, there wasn't the slightest hint of inexperience in him. Even though he came from a noble clan, he didn't have the air of a profligate scion.
After fifteen years, there might really be hope for them to capture King Sosurim this time around!
"Elder, what should we do next?"
The group sat cross-legged on the floor and formed a circle. Wang Chong humbly asked for guidance.
"Gongzi, did you touch the last base?"
"Not yet."
"Good, let's surround it. The crux of our operation lies in that base. If we were to destroy all of the bases, the Goguryeons would think that we have grasped their movements. On the other hand, if we were to destroy some of the bases, the Goguryeons would think that we have grasped their movements. The greater the momentum of our operation, the more bases we destroy, the stronger their conviction will be.
"We understand King Sosurim's mentality all too well. He's too conceited, so conceited that once he decides on a plan, he won't change it easily. No matter how great the sacrifice is, it's meaningless to him. He won't care. "
"Our current advantage is that he's in the 'light' while we're in the 'dark'. No matter how many Goguryeon bases you destroy or how many people you kill, you're still a newcomer. King Sosurim doesn't understand you at all. He doesn't know that we're the ones hiding behind your back. This is our greatest advantage. "
Ma Yinlong said grimly.
"Wait a moment."
Wang Chong suddenly interrupted Ma Yinlong. "Elder, you said that King Sosurim doesn't understand me, right? Hehe, I suddenly have an idea. "
After which, Wang Chong revealed his idea.
"Hahaha, that works too. Since we're going to do it, let's make it bigger. The more ostentatious you are, the more King Sosurim will be unable to see through you. At the same time, he will look down on you. Wang gongzi, let's do as you say. "
Hearing Wang Chong's idea, Ma Yinlong chuckled. If they were to go along with Wang Chong's plan, it would be much easier for the plan to succeed.
"As for what happens next, The Eagle, I'll leave it to you."
"Un."
The Eagle nodded solemnly.
