Very quickly, the losses of the battle were reported. Ouzan's side had lost around 5-6 thousand yak corpses, only about a thousand of them managed to survive and flee in all directions. It would take at least a few hours to find them again.
And even if they managed to find them, they'd already lost their ability to fight.
Furthermore, due to the previous explosion, as well as the charge of the 5,000 Wushang cavalry, Dayan Mangpoje's side had lost a total of 18,000 to 19,000 corpses, while another 6,000 to 7,000 were heavily injured by the explosion.
On the other hand, Wang Chong's side's losses were negligible.
— — -this was a complete and utter victory.
The only mishap occurred in the small fortress at the back, 7-8 craftsmen fell from the scaffolding during the explosion, while the eardrums of more than 20 people were shaken by the sound of the explosion.
These were the biggest casualties on Wang Chong's side.
As for the other soldiers, because they were warned beforehand, they all laid flat on the ground, avoiding the explosion and only suffered some minor scratches.
As soon as this number came out, everyone was shocked. They all looked at Wang Chong with admiration.
"Don't celebrate too early"
Wang Chong casually said.
"With Dayan Mangpoje's personality, he'll soon launch an attack, and it'll be even fiercer and fiercer than the first wave"
"Haha, what's there to be afraid of, with Marquis here, no matter how strong Dayan Mangpoje is, it won't matter. Just now, he sent so many soldiers to fight, but still suffered a crushing defeat. Now that he's lost so many soldiers, he's even less of a match for Marquis "
"That's right! Dayan Mangpoje has already lost to Marquis twice, he'll only lose even more miserably if he does it again "
"We'll deal with it as it comes, with our strength, do we really have to be afraid of them?"
…
The generals all agreed. The battle just now had greatly boosted everyone's confidence. They trusted Wang Chong even more. Even if Wang Chong were to say that he'd lead them to conquer the entire Ouzan Empire, they would still believe him without a doubt.
"Arrogant soldiers are bound to lose, don't be too careless"
Wang Chong shook his head.
Everyone had underestimated Dayan Mangpoje too much. Although he defeated Dayan Mangpoje twice, Wang Chong knew that the first time was because Dayan Mangpoje's troops were far away, so he could only rely on himself and used a combination attack to defeat him.
The second time was because Dayan Mangpoje scattered barley powder to create an artificial white smoke, leaving a huge opening and using the powder explosion to defeat him.
Neither of these had been proper exchanges. If one believed that Dayan Mangpoje was only so-so just because of these two victories, one would truly be digging one's own grave and committing suicide.
If Dayan Mangpoje only had this much ability, he would never have been able to kill the five thousand soldiers of the Qixi Protectorate and Pulan He after running into a wall in the City of Steel, and he certainly wouldn't have been placed on the Stone of Destiny's list to issue a mission to threaten Qixi. Success would reward four hundred points of Destiny Energy, failure would result in a deduction of two thousand points.
Moreover, how could someone who had been hailed as the Asura War God of the Ouzan Empire, the future King of Generals, only have this much ability?
"Everyone, there's no need to say anything. Marquis has his reasons for saying this, and I feel that Dayan Mangpoje truly is an expert. A person who can think of using a herd of yaks to charge at the enemy is definitely not as simple as all of you think. "
Suddenly, a powerful voice rang out, interrupting the voices of the crowd. The surroundings were silent. Everyone looked at Li Siye, who was at the side.
"An arrogant army is bound to fall. This battle concerns all of us, the eight thousand craftsmen behind us, and the safety of Qixi. Before the battle is over, we can't afford to be careless or careless."
Before the battle is over, we cannot afford to be careless, "Li Siye sternly said.
Wang Chong turned to Li Siye, who was more than a head taller than him, and gave an almost imperceptible nod. Li Siye truly was worthy of being a future top-class Great General. No matter the situation, he would never lose his instincts as a commander. Even in the face of a great victory, he would always be able to calmly analyze the situation and make the most rational of decisions.
"Everyone, go and rest. For the time being, Dayan Mangpoje shouldn't be attacking again. In addition, urge the craftsmen in the rear to speed up the construction of the city and finish the third floor as quickly as possible. This city will soon be put to use. "
Wang Chong's final words were like a hammer striking down the hammer, and everyone quickly left.
… …
"How is it, Dayan? Do you need me to go?"
Two thousand zhang away, in the rear of the Ouzan army, another conversation was taking place, but one side was an Imperial Great General of Ouzan while the other side was a Brigadier General.
The mood was grim.
The crushing defeat from before had been far too severe. Even if Dusong Mangpoje was overseeing the rear and restraining Fomonlința, he could not just sit back and watch.
The casualties of nearly twenty thousand Ouzan cavalry was no small number. If one added on the twenty thousand killed by Buluhu, they would have lost nearly forty thousand soldiers.
Even a Great General like Dusong Mangpoje would have to think of a way to explain this to the Tsenpo.
"There's no need!"
Dayan Mangpoje immediately refused.
"I was the one who started this battle, so I will personally end it. As for that Wang Chong, no matter what, I will kill him. "
"I also have some understanding of that Wang Chong, and he's not that easy to deal with. You saw the battle just now. He's even more crafty and difficult to deal with than we imagined. You alone might not be able to deal with him. "
Dusong Mangpoje said.
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Dayan Mangpoje, but that he had already lost two battles, and his losses were not small. He could not allow the soldiers the Ouzan Empire used to conquer the world to be used by Dayan Mangpoje in a conflict of pride.
Wang Chong was the Tsenpo's target. If Dayan Mangpoje could not deal with him, then Dusong Mangpoje would have to do it himself.
"So you're afraid that I'll lose even more soldiers because of the heavy losses just now?"
Dayan Mangpoje stared at Dusong Mangpoje, his eyes sharp.
Dusong Mangpoje said nothing, only gave a noncommittal nod. As commander-in-chief, there were some things that he had to consider. Even in front of Dayan Mangpoje, there was no need for him to hide this fact.
"Hmph, if that's the case, there's no need for you to worry, because I will personally send my White Braves. I won't need any of your soldiers. Whether you agree or not, I will personally kill that Wang Chong! "
With these final words, Dayan Mangpoje left in a huff.
… …
In the howling winds, the plateau was suffused with the smell of burning.
Behind the silver-white walls of steel, Wang Chong was seated cross-legged. Next to him was the tall and muscular Li Siye, silently standing guard.
Even if I defeat Ouzan, killing the Saint Martial realm Dayan Mangpoje is still a difficult task!
Wang Chong propped up his chin, a pensive look on his face as he stared at the ground.
The mission given by the Stone of Destiny was that Wang Chong had to personally kill Dayan Mangpoje. If someone else killed Dayan Mangpoje, or if something happened to Dayan Mangpoje, Wang Chong would not be able to complete the mission.
And if something like this happened, the mission would be considered a failure, and two thousand points of Destiny Energy would be deducted. Even to the current Wang Chong, this was an enormous number.
After all, he had turned the tide, expended countless efforts to defeat Huoshu Huizang and Dalun Ruozan, saving the southwest, and completing the Empire's Elegy, but he had only been rewarded with 2410 points of Destiny Energy.
The gap in cultivation is still a very large problem. I have to think of a way to increase my strength and close the distance between us.
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
With a thought, Wang Chong quickly communicated with the Stone of Destiny in his mind. It was impossible to make a last-minute effort to increase his strength in a short period of time, so the only way was through the Stone of Destiny.
Thinking about how he had accumulated a large amount of Destiny Energy after the last mission, he had yet to use it. Furthermore, after completing the 'Trial of Fate' mission, he successfully advanced from a 'Fate Struggler' to a 'Controller of Fate'. The Stone of Fate had also correspondingly undergone a huge change, and the rewards he could exchange for had increased by a lot.
"Buzz!"
A moment later, the scene in front of Wang Chong changed. In the boundless darkness, a simple and unadorned, fist-sized, mysterious gem quietly floated in front of Wang Chong.
This was the Stone of Destiny!
Wang Chong had always been busy with matters in the real world, so it had been a long time since he had so closely examined the Stone of Destiny. After experiencing so many things, the Stone of Destiny seemed to have grown much larger, and it had gained much more luster. It was all the more dazzling and mysterious.
4030！
In the upper right corner of the Stone of Destiny, Wang Chong saw an illusory line of golden numbers.
Is this how much Destiny Energy I've accumulated?
Wang Chong quietly said to himself. This thought had just flashed through his mind when countless phantoms flashed before his eyes, accompanied by a flood of information. All the rewards from the war of the southwest, plus the ones from before, amounted to 2410 points of Destiny Energy. Recruiting five thousand Wushang soldiers from Wushang Village had resulted in 600 points of Destiny Energy. Inventing cement had resulted in 1000 points of Destiny Energy. Writing a letter to Gao Xianzhi had resulted in 600 points of Destiny Energy being deducted. The warhorse mission had resulted in 510 points of Destiny Energy …
All the missions up until now had resulted in a total of 4030 points of Destiny Energy.
As he read the information introduced by the Stone of Destiny, Wang Chong couldn't help but be startled. He had unwittingly accumulated so many points of Destiny Energy.
Such an enormous number is enough for me to exchange for some powerful abilities.
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
The Stone of Destiny would not be able to raise a person from an ordinary martial artist to a peerless expert in a single stroke. Its greater use was to influence and gradually raise one's strength. Moreover, the Stone of Destiny's rewards were not just pure strength, but also many martial arts and techniques.
