Chapter 539: Chapter 129: For Home and Country (Combined Part 2 and 3)_3
The Three Generals Camp marched again in the One-Line Long Snake Formation.
This time, other armies also formed up in various formations, no longer hastening to travel swiftly.
Ning Zhuo returned to the same carriage he had used before.
To his right was Heavy Blood Ape Big Victory, and to his left was Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin, still under dual protection.
From within the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, Sun Lingtong telepathically conveyed with excitement to Ning Zhuo: “Little Zhuo, this time, our spoils are really significant!”
He just finished tallying them.
“How so?” asked Ning Zhuo.
Sun Lingtong then disclosed the details.
One pure spirit Mana Pool of earth’s milk, three Virtue Light Illuminating Towers, several hundred Bai Ling Light Dust horses, as well as qiongyu armor, Shocking Light Spears, Moon Phase Shields, and many other military wares.
Among them, there were more than eighty Foundation Establishment Level Bai Ling Light Dust horses and over three hundred and eighty Qi Refining Level ones, totaling over four hundred sixty horses. The market price is eleven million one hundred thirty-two thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones.
For military storerooms like qiongyu armor and Shocking Light Spears, after seizing a further seven, their total estimated price is around three million five hundred thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones.
The total market price for all of the above is thirty million and fifty-four thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones.
The biggest gain was “Gao Sheng’s Legacy,” whose value is incalculable!
“We’re rich! We’ve made a fortune in one battle!” Sun Lingtong danced with joy in the Mechanical Dragon.
Ning Zhuo also smiled. At this moment, he felt like he had escaped poverty, escaped suffering.
“So, the hardship of the previous battle was worth it,” Ning Zhuo remarked.
Sun Lingtong nodded incessantly, heartily agreeing: “Don’t forget, Little Zhuo, there are significant rewards at Thousand Peak Forest, and Liangzhu Country has its honors too!”
Ning Zhuo took a deep breath: “This is war profiteering, and this feeling is truly marvelous.”
“Compared to the gains, we only lost about thirty percent of the Western Pure Land at most.”
“This expense is trivial compared to what we’ve received, it’s just a drop in the ocean!”
Sun Lingtong giggled: “This kind of war, I wouldn’t mind a dozen more.”
Ning Zhuo then sobered up: “Big brother, we have to be cautious though.”
“There’s something I didn’t tell you before; I almost lost my life in that ambush.”
Sun Lingtong’s expression changed instantly: “What?”
Ning Zhuo then told Sun Lingtong about how he used the Targeted Teleportation Talisman to save his life.
The air of pride on Sun Lingtong’s face subsided.
“The battlefield is indeed dangerous!” Sun Lingtong said solemnly.
Ning Zhuo: “Who can walk by the river and not wet their shoes? Big brother, I have a different view. It’s better to have fewer such experiences and have more stability.”
“Will our good fortune continue endlessly? It’s almost impossible.”
“Rather than fighting personally, I’ve thought of a more stable and profitable strategy.”
As he said this, Ning Zhuo’s face showed a mysterious hint of cunning.
Sun Lingtong’s curiosity was piqued, and he promptly inquired.
Ning Zhuo certainly wouldn’t hide it from Sun Lingtong: “I was also reminded by a trade request from Lord Long just before we left.”
“The military weapons we seized, we can’t use, and it’s difficult to send them back for our family or the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect to use.”
“So, the best way to dispose of them is to sell them to Thousand Peak Forest.”
“But what about other stuff? We could sell much more. Thousand Peak Forest desperately needs these armaments, don’t they?”
“On the other hand, doesn’t Liangzhu Country need them too?”
Sun Lingtong was puzzled: “It makes sense for Thousand Peak Forest to lack armaments without a nation’s support.”
“But why would Liangzhu Country’s military also lack armaments? That doesn’t seem right.”
Ning Zhuo’s lips curled slightly before he forcibly smoothed them out: “Big brother, doesn’t it make sense for the Old Monster in Stone, skilled in Earth Element Technique, to continue stealing military arms?”
Sun Lingtong caught on instantly, applauding with his fist: “Brilliant! The Liangzhu military might not lack arms, but we can certainly create that need.”
“The stolen weapons, we can definitely sell to Thousand Peak Forest.”
Ning Zhuo coughed twice: “Big brother, as citizens of Southern Bean Country, we were secretly entrusted by a member of the Royal Family, Zhu Xuanji, before going abroad.”
“Southern Bean Country needs a weakened Liangzhu Country.”
“For the country, we must exploit our abilities to the fullest, to relieve our Monarch of worries, for the welfare of all people of Southern Bean.”
“Thousand Peak Forest must not fall, nor may Liangzhu cease.”
“The longer this war goes on, the better!”
Sun Lingtong took a deep breath, an excited flush appearing on his face: “Thrilling, so thrilling.”
“Fun, truly fun!”
“Little Zhuo, it’s indeed right for us to travel the world together.”
“This life is just too wonderful!”
“Let’s stir up this place into a whirlwind of war!”
Ning Zhuo shook his head, reiterating: “No, no, no, we bear our responsibilities with patience, for our family, for our country.”
Sun Lingtong wiped his nose: “Humph, have it your way.”
Days later.
Sun Gan, leading the rear army, returned once again to Canglin Immortal City.
The first to enter the city was not the Golden Spear Army or Fire Cloud Camp.
Instead, it was a prison cart.
Inside the cart was the humanoid Ma Feitui.
The citizens who saw this all cheered.
Then Sun Gan, riding a splendid horse and waving his hand as he rode, entered the city looking every bit the triumphant victor.
Following close behind Sun Gan were the trio Liu, Guan, Zhang, who had captured Ma Feitui alive.
Ning Zhuo, who had won the attention of many Main Generals by making Omen Poem and whose status rose sharply, also followed closely behind the trio, vigorously boosting his renown.
After parading the army around the city, most of the cultivators headed out of the city to set up camp.
Ning Zhuo stayed behind in the city, heading straight to the artisan Jin Li to purchase numerous Treasures, planning to independently repair the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon.
The rewards from Liangzhu Country came promptly.
On the second day after entering the city, an envoy arrived with a royal edict.
The specific honors that Ning Zhuo had requested also followed!
