Chapter 699: Chapter 215: Ning Zhuo Made Great Achievements!_2
He had originally squinted his eyes, but suddenly widened them as if he was about to pop them out.
The shock he received was so immense and intense that even Zhao Xi, who always paid attention to his authority and posture, unconsciously opened his mouth wide.
He was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth!
After the intense shock, his narrowed pupils quickly expanded, and his icy face suddenly warmed to spring, instantly becoming bright and vibrant like everything was reborn.
“We won, the Heavenly Ghosts fled!”
“The Three Generals Camp won!!”
“Great achievement! Ning Zhuo achieved a great merit!”
“Good, so good.”
“Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!”
“Hahaha.”
All the generals looked at each other, unable to believe it.
Some stared at Zhao Xi, not forgetting to remind him: “Lord Supervisor, please don’t misjudge casually. You are the supreme leader of our main army.”
To their surprise, Zhao Xi glanced at him disdainfully, and the laughter not only didn’t stop but grew even stronger.
For a moment, Zhao Xi’s laughter filled the council chamber, echoing in everyone’s ears.
“This military intelligence is irrefutable. Not only do we have detailed images, but we also retrieved treasures like the bronze sundial!”
“In fact, the Three Generals Camp is already on their triumphant way back.”
“In this battle, our army first lost then won, the Heavenly Ghosts fled. We won!”
He said, and then directly threw the Jade Slip in his hand onto the face of the insistent general.
The general hurriedly dodged, hastily caught the Jade Slip, and immediately injected his Divine Sense to check.
The next moment, his expression also changed, becoming extremely shocked: “Such, such techniques!”
“What exactly happened?” someone asked urgently.
The extremely shocked general was still digesting the military intelligence and gave no response.
“Oh, I better look myself!” The general next to him couldn’t wait any longer and grabbed it directly.
The speed of Divine Sense reading is extremely fast, and the next moment, his eyes also widened: “Ning, Ning Zhuo this junior, what kind of Demon Art did he use to make Tian Shuang defect?”
“De, defect?!”
“Who defected???”
“Did I just hear it right? I think I heard that the Heavenly Ghost defected?!”
All the other generals were shocked, unable to sit still, they all stood up and reached out for the Jade Slip.
However, someone was faster than them.
It was the Beidou Sword Master.
The Beidou Sword Master held the Jade Slip, read its content, and stood dumbfounded: “We really won?!”
“Did the Heavenly Ghosts die!?” Fu Yunzi got excited.
His Dao partner, Shanyuezi, died in the combined strike of the Heavenly Ghosts, and they were his greatest enemies in life.
Fu Yunzi felt revenge was hopeless for life, he never thought he would hear the news of the Heavenly Ghosts’ defeat.
However, Fu Yunzi didn’t get the Jade Slip, the generals surrounded the Beidou Sword Master, several hands simultaneously pressed on the Jade Slip, multiple Divine Senses injected at the same time, vying to read the military intelligence in the Jade Slip.
For a moment, exclamations rose one after another.
Soon, the Jade Slip was passed around and read by everyone.
Zhao Xi still had an iron-like expression, sitting in the main seat. But anyone could feel his relaxation, his joy, his exhilaration.
Zhao Xi coughed twice, attracting everyone’s attention: “The Three Generals Camp has made such a great achievement this time, it must be greatly rewarded.”
“You should know, their opponents were the Heavenly Ghosts!”
It was precisely because many Nascent Soul Cultivators died in the combined strike of the Heavenly Ghosts that made Liu Guanzhang Ning and the others’ achievements all the more outstanding.
“Reward, we must heavily reward these meritorious officials!”
“In this great battle, our Liangzhu Country will surely win!!”
Zhao Xi couldn’t hold back, saying the final words, clenching his fist and raising his arm in a loud shout.
All the generals were silent.
Liyang Zhenren, Beidou Sword Master, and Fu Yunzi had different expressions.
Zhao Xi glared, swept his gaze over everyone, snorted through his nose with a threatening air.
The generals were startled, quickly voicing their joy, expressing their firm belief in their side’s victory, and their recognition and support of Zhao Xi’s wise leadership.
“With the Three Generals Camp achieving such an enormous merit, how should they be rewarded?” Liyang Zhenren suddenly asked, his expression complicated.
Zhao Xi didn’t catch the implied meaning, he waved his hand: “Our army always rewards and punishes clearly, of course, based on merit, we will distribute the rewards practically and as quickly as possible, to reward the meritorious officials and boost the morale of the army!”
Liyang Zhenren nodded: “Naturally.”
“Only…” he changed his tone, “Ning Zhuo this boy has outstanding skills, his future is limitless.”
“Being able to defeat the Heavenly Ghosts, his strength is surprisingly great, it might influence the upcoming war!”
“We should protect him well!”
These words caused the joy on Zhao Xi’s face to suddenly diminish greatly.
He immediately fell into deep thought.
Many generals also caught the deeper meaning in Liyang Zhenren’s words, falling silent in contemplation.
After a while, Zhao Xi spoke: “Liyang Zhenren’s concern is valid, quickly, let us send out a team, go out and welcome Young Master Ning Zhuo back! He is the greatest meritorious official in this battle!!”
However, when the generals, led by Zhao Xi, joined the Three Generals Camp, they found that Ning Zhuo had vanished.
“Where is Ning Zhuo? Where is Young Master Ning Zhuo?!” Zhao Xi questioned Liu Er.
Liu Er cupped his hands and reported: “Reporting to Lord Zhao, after the battle, while our army was cleaning the battlefield, a Nascent Soul Cultivator appeared, identifying himself as the protector of Military Adviser Ning Zhuo.”
“The Military Adviser had already been taken away by his protector.”
“What?!” Zhao Xi’s eyes widened.
The accompanying Nascent Soul Cultivators were also stunned.
Liyang Zhenren asked urgently: “Are you sure he was Ning Zhuo’s protector? Liu Er, can you guarantee it? If we were deceived, the greatest hero of this battle might lose his life, and we would be the laughing stock of Liangzhu Country!”
