Destiny Energy was very difficult to obtain.
Wang Chong had already experienced this firsthand. It had to be something that had happened in the past. Moreover, this matter had to be exceptionally important for it to be rewarded with Destiny Energy.
Wang Chong had not expected that after participating in the third phase of the mission, not only would the rewards from the Bureau of Military Personnel and the upgrade of the Bane of the Battlefield Halo be given, he would also receive a total of four points of Destiny Energy.
In total, he now had a total of seventy-nine points of Destiny Energy. (Replacing Li Xiang's blood had cost him thirty points of Destiny Energy, but he had received forty-five points of Destiny Energy as a reward).
After exchanging for so many things, it was already quite astonishing that he could still throw away seventy-nine points of Destiny Energy.
More importantly, when he killed the first Ouzan cavalryman, Wang Chong discovered that he had received an additional point of Destiny Energy.
"... In other words, when I kill Mengshe Zhao, the Eastern and Western Turks, the kingdoms of the Western Regions, the Abbasid Caliphate, Charax Spasinu, and so on, I'll receive additional rewards!"
Wang Chong's eyes shone. Suddenly, Wang Chong seemed to have discovered a way to obtain additional Destiny Energy.
The battle quickly ended, and the next step was to clean up the battlefield. At the base of the mountain, there were corpses everywhere. Not a single one of the three-hundred-some Ouzan cavalrymen had managed to escape.
In the territory of Longxi, the highland steeds of Ü-Tsang, who were wearing heavy armor and didn't have the terrain advantage of a high mountain, were unable to outrun them. Every single one of them was caught and killed.
Unfortunately, Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield Halo did not increase the number of people killed by three hundred, but by two.
A portion of it came from the eight hundred kills. Wang Chong was not the overall commander, so he could only obtain a portion of the reward. There was nothing he could do about it.
In the end, the number of "foreign soldier kills" stopped at 1861. There were still more than a hundred more to go before he could upgrade his Level 2 halo to 2000.
"What a pity. It looks like I'll have to wait until next time!"
Wang Chong couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
Once the Bane of the Battlefield reached level two, it would be able to reduce the halos of True Martial Tier 2 martial artists to their original form. But before that, Wang Chong could only use a level one halo to weaken it.
…
The war ended, and the atmosphere on the battlefield changed subtly.
Everyone looked at Wang Chong and his group of 'deserters' with respect in their eyes, especially those who had participated in many battles in the training camp. They were filled with admiration for them.
If not for the sudden appearance of Wang Chong and the others, everyone knew that they would have lost the battle.
Without the protection of the Tower Shields, everyone was powerless to resist.
"Unbelievable! When did they set up an ambush there?"
"What a strange way of fighting. I've been in the army for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen it!"
"Is that Master's arrangement?"
"That's impossible. Even His Lordship panicked!"
"I heard they are deserters!"
"Are you crazy? Deserters will appear here! "
"So you're saying that they didn't listen to orders and acted on their own?"
…
In private, everyone was whispering to each other. In a head-on battlefield that emphasized grandeur, where both sides faced off against each other and competed with each other's strength, an army like Wang Chong's was rarely seen.
At the very least, this kind of fighting style was uncommon. In fact, many veterans who had experienced countless battles had never experienced such a thing before. It was a novel sight to behold.
"Hahaha, looks like we've really made a name for ourselves this time!"
Riding on the back of his steed, Huang Yongtu glanced at the admiring gazes around him and laughed heartily.
Huang Yongtu had never been able to do such a thing on a regular battlefield, and he couldn't help but feel exhilarated.
"Wang Chong, I really have to give it to you. I didn't think that we would be able to defeat them to such an extent. "
"Indeed, I really can't believe it. It seems like we can finally report back to our superiors. "
Xu Gan nodded in agreement. Looking at the corpses of the Ouzan soldiers on the ground, he nodded in approval.
When the Tibetans charged down from the summit, their aura had covered the heavens, toppling mountains and overturning seas, like an avalanche.
Even from afar, they couldn't help but shudder in fear, thinking that it would be difficult for them to withstand it.
Who could have thought that they would actually succeed in destroying them?
And all of this was thanks to Wang Chong's mastermind.
At this point, Xu Gan couldn't help but look at Wang Chong in admiration. As the saying went, no discord, no concord. Even though it was a little awkward at the start, at this moment, Xu Gan was truly impressed by Wang Chong.
On the other side, Bai Siling and Zhao Yatong were looking at Wang Chong while whispering to one another. It was hard to tell what they were talking about, but the both of them suddenly burst into laughter.
That beautiful face of hers left the crowd dumbfounded.
Di da da!
Just as the crowd was chatting, the sound of galloping horses suddenly sounded.
"Gongzi, the commandant invites you over!"
The messenger pulled on the reins of his steed and stopped before Wang Chong expressionlessly.
For a moment, all was silent, the boisterous crowd falling silent as they turned to Wang Chong.
For this operation, Wang Chong had acted arbitrarily, disobeying orders and taking away two hundred men without permission. According to military law, this was a crime punishable by death.
"Gongzi will be fine, right?"
A student from Shenwei Training Camp asked. He was a scion of a prestigious clan in Shenwei Training Camp, or else he wouldn't have participated in such a mission.
However, before Wang Chong, he subconsciously used honorifics and a respectful expression, subconsciously treating Wang Chong as the leader of his group.
"You must be joking! If not for us, we would have long been wiped out. Do you think that the commandant will blame us for this? "
Zhao Yatong's cold expression reverted to her usual displeasure. Even though she didn't have much of a relationship with Wang Chong from the start, it was impossible for her to say that she had a good impression of him.
But over the past three days and the arduous battle, Zhao Yatong had subconsciously acknowledged Wang Chong's strength.
In Zhao Yatong's heart, this son of Duke Jiu, who was much younger than her, was definitely a talented person.
Even the arrogant Zhao Yatong felt that she was different.
Such a person had made a great contribution, so he definitely shouldn't be blamed.
"Yatong, don't say so much. This is the military. Maybe the commandant is going to praise him. After all, we won the battle. "
Bai Siling was the one who comforted her.
Compared to Zhao Yatong's agitation, Bai Siling was much more rational.
"That's right. We've done such a great service. Why would the commandant blame us? "
"That's right. The commandant probably won't."
…
The others chimed in.
If not for Wang Chong leading the group to lie in ambush nearby and suddenly appear at the critical moment to turn the tide, the battle would have been a complete mess.
No one believed that the commandant would punish them under such circumstances.
Wang Chong didn't say a word, but he shook his head inwardly.
Wang Chong was well aware that everyone was still thinking too simply and too optimistically about this matter. The Big Dipper Army's Imperial Army was strict, and everyone in the army had to obey their orders strictly.
There was no way that the Big Dipper Army commandant would be so easy to deal with.
If he was really as the crowd thought, the one standing before him at this moment should have been him and not the messenger.
"Hehe, don't worry. I'll handle it myself. Yatong, Siling, you two take charge of this area. I'll go and meet the commandant. "
As Wang Chong spoke, he turned his head to the messenger.
"Lord, I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."
…
At the westernmost corner of the battlefield, Wang Chong saw the Big Dipper Army commandant standing with his hands behind his back with a stern expression on his face.
Infantry were currently digging a trench to bury the corpses, and the Big Dipper Army commandant was standing by the trench with an impassive expression on his face.
"Paying respects to lord!"
Wang Chong dismounted from the White-hoofed Shadow and bowed respectfully.
There were no fathers and sons in the military, and there were no scions of prestigious clans either. Many scions of prestigious clans would end up violating the rules of the army due to their arrogance, resulting in war. Wang Chong was familiar with such matters.
Now that it was his turn, Wang Chong wouldn't make such a mistake.
"Un."
Upon seeing Wang Chong, the Big Dipper Army commandant's expression softened.
"You've worked hard. You have contributed greatly to this battle. How are the casualties? "
"It's fortunate that there aren't too many casualties."
Wang Chong lowered his head and reported the casualties.
Due to the speed of a cavalry charge, there were very few casualties. Most of the time, by the time the enemy soldiers raised their swords, they would already be facing the seventh.
On top of that, Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield greatly weakened the Ouzan soldiers, thus reducing the number of casualties on Wang Chong's side.
"Un. Not bad! "
The Big Dipper Army commandant nodded, and the smile on his face grew even more amiable.
"I've already informed the military registrar to record all of your contributions. In the future, this will be reported to the Bureau of Military Personnel, and all of you will be rewarded. You have all done well in this regard."
"Lord, you're being too polite. This is what I should do."
Wang Chong replied humbly.
"Not bad. Don't get complacent in victory, and don't give up in defeat. This is the attitude that the military needs."
Seeing Wang Chong's attitude, the Big Dipper Army commandant nodded in approval. But in the next instant, the gentle aura abruptly changed. The Big Dipper Army commandant's face turned frosty, and he stared down at Wang Chong with a sharp gaze.
"But you deserted at the last moment, mobilized your troops, and disobeyed my orders. What's wrong with that? Do you know that according to military law, this is a crime punishable by execution? "
At the end of his words, his voice rose several octaves, becoming incomparably resounding. The atmosphere between the two of them changed from the initial cotton-like warmth to one where swords were drawn and bows were drawn. It was incomparably solemn.
Hearing this cold and stern voice, even the soldiers who were burying the corpses in the trenches shuddered, their eyes revealing a look of fear.
The commanders of the Big Dipper Army, from top to bottom, were deeply influenced by the empire's War God, Wang Zhongsi, and the Big Dipper Army's commander, Geshu Han. Every single one of them was a man of his word.
