"What I want to say is, Mr. Chen, you don't need to feel guilty. Being rciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. This is the principle taught to us by the Princess." Ye Linghan said seriously, "If you could see for yourself how these barbarians treat our fellow n, you would no longer have any sympathy for them."
"I understand."
Chen Mo's heart was as clear as a mirror.
The previous conversation with Tana was a clear revelation.
In the eyes of the Barbarian Tribe, humans are no different from the cattle and sheep on the grasslands, all targets that can be slaughtered at will.
They have no concept of peaceful coexistence, believing that it's far easier to plunder than to rely on hard work and accumulation.
The reason they are currently restrained is rely due to the constraints of the situation. If the Da Yuan Country's power were to decline one day, they would undoubtedly reveal their bloody fangs and return!
Thud——
As the last barbarian fell into the pool of blood, all the captives were slaughtered to the last one.
Chen Mo looked at the dazed Cang Ya and said, "This old guy is a Witch from the Bone Erosion Tribe, at least over two hundred years old. He knows the desolate plains like the back of his hand, including the situation of several other tribes... I've interfered with his mind using a Secret Technique, so you can take him back and interrogate him slowly. He will surely tell you everything."
Just now, rely relying on those barbarian warriors, he had gained over ten thousand True Spirit points. He was now as wealthy as a king.
This old Witch might only be worth a few hundred points, not enough to affect him, better to use him to do soone a favor.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your assistance." Ye Linghan bowed, full of respect.
This entire operation, from planning to execution, was all thanks to Chen Mo.
As an Assistant General in the army, she usually looked down on those bureaucrats who rely occupied their positions. But Mr. Chen, who was nearly ten years younger than her, was an exception.
"Alright, now that the matter is almost settled, I'll be on my way..."
Chen Mo said and was about to turn and leave.
"My lord, please wait!"
Ye Linghan quickly stopped him, "Are you just going to leave like this?"
Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Does Assistant General Ye have anything else?"
"The annihilation of the Bone Erosion Tribe is of great significance to our army. Once the news reaches the Princess, she will surely be overjoyed and will reward the entire army." Ye Linghan said, "This ti you have contributed greatly, laying the foundation for victory. You must co back with us to the fortress to celebrate the honor!"
The other officers also looked at Chen Mo expectantly.
The steel torrent that swept through the battlefield left a deep impression on everyone.
The army highly values strength, who wouldn't want to have a drink with Mr. Chen, whose cultivation is nearly divine?
"I won't be attending the celebration, there are still many official duties waiting for in Bailu City."
Chen Mo refused decisively.
The Little Tiger and Ye Zi'e are probably awake by now, who knows what trouble they're in, perhaps fighting again... He really didn't have the ti to drink with a group of rough n.
"This... alright."
Ye Linghan, though sowhat disappointed, did not insist, and then asked, "By the way, how do you think I should write this report?"
For other military generals, achieving such a great deed would an jumping two ranks was not out of the question!
However, Chen Mo is a military officer in the court, not a military leader, and cannot accumulate military rits. If the report is not written well, his contributions might go unnoticed.
"This is the result of all the soldiers' joint efforts and has little to do with personally. Assistant General Ye can handle it as you see fit." Chen Mo didn't mind, he never intended to get involved in military or political affairs, it was just that he happened to encounter this situation.
"How can that be?" Ye Linghan resolutely said, "If it weren't for you controlling those barbarian slaves, we wouldn't have found the Bone Erosion Tribe's base, let alone turn the tide at the last mont..."
"So what?" Chen Mo waved his hand, smiling as he said, "Success doesn't have to be mine, but I must be part of the success, that's enough."
With that, his figure blurred and he vanished into thin air.
Ye Linghan stood there in a daze, not coming to her senses for a long while.
"Success doesn't have to be mine?"
She turned her head, gazing at the blood-stained field filled with corpses.
It wouldn't take long for these bodies to decay and dissolve, rging into the soil, becoming nutrients, and then being covered again by lush green grass.
Perhaps one day, she too would die on the battlefield, forever staying on the grassland, but there would still be another "Ye Linghan" to take her place, continuing to fight the barbarian tribes with the soldiers until the complete end.
However, everything she did would not disappear with her death, every step towards this goal bore her mark.
"Success must include !"
Ye Linghan's lips curled into a bright, radiant smile.
"No wonder the Princess cares so much about Mr. Chen, he truly is a remarkable man!"
...
...
High in the sky.
Two figures floated within the clouds.
"No wonder the Master is so concerned about Chen Mo..."
"That thod of controlling the weapon just now has already reached the level of the Law, right? And it's a move we haven't seen before... this guy is clearly just a Third Grade, yet how many Dao Laws has he comprehended?"
The Vermilion Bird knit its brows tightly.
Others rge with Dao by aligning themselves with the Great Dao.
But Chen Mo rges Dao by combining several Great Daos together...
This can't be described rely as talent, even the favored of the Heavenly Dao may not be to this extent, right?
Zhu Wujiang, watching the gradually receding figure, pondered, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the aura of calamity? Possessing both the True Dragon Qi attuned to the Heavenly Dao and the origin of calamity capable of cleansing the world..."
"What does it an when these two vastly different powers appear in one person?"
"Chen Mo, just how many secrets do you still hide?"
"Ahem..."
At this mont, the Vermilion Bird cleared its throat, prompting, "Master, now is the perfect ti to act. This place isn't within the Great Yuan's territory, even if detected by Yu Youhan, they would only think it's a barbarian reprisal and not trace it back to us."
Zhu Wujiang hesitated for a mont, then shook his head, "No rush, let's wait a bit more."
Not in a hurry?
If we delay any longer, the opportunity will be gone!
The Vermilion Bird looked puzzled, "Master, what exactly are you waiting for? If Chen Mo returns to the Capital City, there will be no opportunity at all!"
Zhu Wujiang's eyes flickered as he calmly said, "Whether it's the Demon Clan or the noble families, they've all attacked Chen Mo multiple tis. Even I personally stepped in, yet they all ended in failure... haven't you seen it yet?"
"Seen what?" The Vermilion Bird asked in confusion.
"Being targeted by so many forces, any Heavenly Pride would have long since fallen. Yet no matter how dire the peril Chen Mo faces, he always finds a way to escape completely unhard, and he continues to grow rapidly. It's both unexpected and sohow seems reasonable."
"Fortune is not sothing illusory; it truly exists."
"In other words, they're not confronting Chen Mo; they are opposing the overwhelming force of the heavens."
Zhu Wujiang sighed and shook his head, "Even the so-called Ultimate Venerable spoken of by the world can't transcend these shackles. How can one, being a part of this world, stand against the will of heaven?"
The Vermilion Bird contemplated for a mont, sowhat understanding, "You an..."
"I have a sharp premonition, that if we forcibly take Chen Mo this ti, we won't achieve our goal. Instead, we'll pay a heavy price." Zhu Wujiang said solemnly.
The Vermilion Bird rubbed its head, "Are we just going to let it slide then?"
"Of course not, Chen Mo is crucial for the Desolate Domain and key to the Dragon Clan's continuation," Zhu Wujiang paused, "The reason we failed before is because we stood against Chen Mo, but this ti, what if we can persuade him to co with us willingly?"
The Vermilion Bird grew more confused, "Humans and demons are irreconcilable, why would he be willing to co back with us?"
Zhu Wujiang didn't answer directly but asked instead, "You've been watching Chen Mo for so long, what do you think is his biggest weakness?"
"Lustful." The Vermilion Bird blurted out.
Chen Mo's journey up to this point wasn't just based on luck.
He was determined, insightful, perceptive, loyal to his people, ruthless to his enemies, had youthful aspirations, and was slick as an eel.
If there was indeed a weakness, it was his lustfulness.
Just on this trip to the Southern Border, he was never short of won by his side. Not only was he entangled with Consort Yu, but he also conveniently connected with the Empress on the Golden Sand River... indulging in lust without bounds!
"Wait a minute..."
The Vermilion Bird realized sothing, and looked at Zhu Wujiang with disbelief, "You couldn't possibly be thinking..."
Zhu Wujiang's rosy lips curled up, and on that scholarly and delicate face, a captivating and demonic smile appeared, "As long as there's a weakness, there will be a breakthrough point. Catering to his preferences is the way to victory!"
