Chapter 601: Chapter 167: Hongn Wine_2
“That Foundation Establishnt boy, quickly lead your Dice Bone Demon God and co back with to report. Commander Du will definitely reward you!”
“As for the rest of you, continue advancing without error!”
Iron Eagle’s deanor was arrogant and quite impolite.
The Three Generals’ expressions changed slightly.
Zhang Hei spoke first: “What reward?”
Iron Eagle imdiately beca displeased: “Presumptuous! Since you serve as advisers, you should focus solely on achieving rits, not leverage them to demand rewards. Is this the logic of a subject?”
Ning Zhuo bowed his hands: “However, I am not a citizen of Liangzhu Country, I co from Southern Bean Country. What reward this might be, I would ask the ssenger to inform.”
Hearing Ning Zhuo say this, Iron Eagle’s expression stalled: “The great battle is imminent, Commander Du will not waste energy to report such minor rits.”
“However, rest assured. Commander Du always administers rewards and punishnts justly, he surely won’t let you suffer, boy.”
Zhang Hei imdiately furrowed his brows.
He figured it out, this ssenger just wanted Ning Zhuo to return, handing over the Dice Bone Demon God, and for a short period, there would be no rewards, until the grand battle was over, the dust settled, and then Du Tiechuan would file a report to get the rewards from Liangzhu Country.
Zhang Hei opened his mouth to speak. But the next mont, Liu Er transmitted thoughts via divine sense, urging him to speak less.
Zhang Hei closed his mouth.
Liu Er felt very conflicted.
The fact that Ning Zhuo had obtained the Dice Bone Demon God made him extrely resistant and displeased.
Now hearing that Du Tiechuan would make claims on it, he inevitably felt a psychological comfort, thus he subconsciously chose to wait and see.
A smile appeared on Ning Zhuo’s face, as he bowed respectfully: “I strictly follow the military order!”
“However… having just experienced a fierce battle, my condition is poor.”
“Retreating to Mulu Town might expose to unexpected dangers; it would be proper to rest and recover to my peak condition first.”
Iron Eagle snorted coldly: “The military situation is urgent, a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator like you is not important.”
“I witnessed the entire battle just now.”
“You staying in the Three Generals Camp to command the chanical Army can still be sowhat useful.”
“Just hand over the bone bracelet directly to , I will bring it to Commander Du.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the bone bracelet began to shake, releasing the voice of the Dice Bone Demon God: “You re Iron Eagle, dare to manipulate ?”
“Do you have the lifespan? Dare to gamble a dice ga with ?”
“Apart from the master, even if Heaven’s Emperor cos, he couldn’t control !”
Iron Eagle: “You! How bold!”
The bone bracelet emitted a ghastly white glow, as if it was about to take action the next mont.
Iron Eagle subconsciously flapped its wings, flying high into the sky.
Ning Zhuo imdiately shouted, and only then did the bone bracelet extinguish its white light.
Iron Eagle stared fixedly at Ning Zhuo: “Boy, you should discipline your servant properly! I represent Commander Du here!”
Ning Zhuo quickly bowed in apology: “Lord Iron Eagle, please don’t take offense. I had just subdued this servant and will certainly discipline it. I apologize for any disrespect to you. Perhaps, allow to prepare so light wine and set up camp to properly host you?”
Iron Eagle snorted coldly, neither accepting nor rejecting.
At that mont, Guan Hong stroked his beard: “Our Three Generals Camp also needs to rest after this battle. Lord Governor might as well rest inside the tent and recuperate, to quickly return to the commander’s location.”
Iron Eagle then nodded and slowly landed on a large tree.
Afterward, the Three Generals Camp began cleaning the battlefield while setting up the camp.
30 minutes later, the camp was established, and Iron Eagle entered the main general’s tent, accompanied by Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning.
Iron Eagle is a Demon Cultivator, rely untransford.
“What is this wine? Rich and deep, fragrant and unforgettable.”
Iron Eagle gazed at the dark red liquor in the cup, surprised and satisfied.
Ning Zhuo said: “I have a close friend at the Ten Thousand dicine Sect in Southern Bean Country who loves wine. Thus, when I ca to Canglin Immortal City, I bought so fine wines.”
“This is one of them, nad Hongn Wine.”
“Using an ancient winemaking secret, the mash and spring water fernt together, incorporating Dark Fragrant Grass and Blood Vine Flower as supplentary ingredients.”
Iron Eagle recalled: “Dark Fragrant Grass? Blood Vine Flower?”
“These two Spirit Plants, one usually grows beside ministers and strategists, the other in dark corners, bathing in wrongful blood.”
“I didn’t expect that using these two Spirit Plants could brew such beautiful wine… Hmm?!”
Iron Eagle’s expression suddenly changed, and his voice sharpened: “Why can’t I use any Mana! What did you put in the wine?”
“How dare you, Ning Zhuo, what are you trying to do?!”
Liu, Guan, and Zhang were particularly astonished, but Ning Zhuo remained seated and smiling: “Lord Governor, are you aware of the saying—’When the general is abroad, he is not bound by the military orders from ho’?”
“Moreover, this isn’t a military order.”
Iron Eagle retorted angrily: “How daring! Even though this isn’t a military order issued by Commander Du personally, I believe if Commander Du were here, he would definitely issue this order.”
“Ning Zhuo, you are a criminal who disregards our sovereign, greedily hoarding the Dice Bone Demon for your own benefit!”
“Furthermore, you drugged my drink to put under house arrest!”
Ning Zhuo’s expression turned inexplicably strange: “Lord Governor, how do you suppose I am putting you under house arrest?”
As he spoke, he raised his wine cup, but instead of drinking from it, he carelessly threw it on the ground.
The wine cup shattered.
A group of Barbarian Clan cultivators burst into the tent, surrounding Iron Eagle.
Iron Eagle scread frantically: “Don’t kill , don’t kill ! I was wrong, I was wrong, Lord Ning Zhuo! Spare , I’ll speak well of you!”
“Don’t kill , I promise to seal my lips!”
“Ahhhh!”
Accompanied by Iron Eagle’s screams were the Barbarian cultivators repeatedly lifting their hatchets and axes, then fiercely bringing them down.
Iron Eagle, being only at Foundation Establishnt Level and having drunk the Hongn Wine, felt weak and limp, unable to muster his Mana.
Soon, he was chopped into a ss of smashed bones and flesh.
The tent was filled with the stench of blood.
Liu Er sighed: “Is this really alright to do?”
Zhang Hei imdiately said: “Yes, of course, it’s good! That arrogant bird got exactly what it deserved.”
Guan Hong also persuaded: “With Iron Eagle in the sky, he saw everything about our Three Generals Camp. The leakage of military intelligence is a major taboo in the Military Family. Older brother, our Three Generals Camp being dispatched here clearly shows that Commander Du doesn’t take us seriously, intending to use us as pawns to probe the enemy’s forces.”
Ning Zhuo concluded: “We didn’t kill the Lord Governor, everyone saw that it was a group of enemy Barbarian cultivators who surrounded and killed him.”
These Barbarian cultivators were naturally summoned by the Dice Bone Demon God.
“Alas…” Liu Er sighed deeply again, “I wish to achieve great things, but it is so difficult. What my two wise brothers said is true, let’s proceed with that.”
Ning Zhuo waved his hand, signaling the group of Barbarian cultivators to withdraw.
The Barbarian cultivators cast hateful glances but their faith in the Dice Bone Demon God was stronger, so they left begrudgingly.
With the allegiance of the Dice Bone Demon God, there was no need to destroy the previous Divine Temple.
Many of the Barbarian cultivators were also secretly recruited. After the Three Generals Camp moved out, they would retake the Dice Bone Giant Tree Mountain. Should the Three Generals Camp collapse, this place would serve as an escape route.
As for the murderer of Iron Eagle, the Lord Governor, of course, they were chased down and encircled by the Three Generals Camp for revenge.
In reality, several Barbarian cultivators’ bodies were chosen from the battlefield, all chopped into minceat, part of which was collected to fulfill their duty while the rest was discarded on the spot.
With no Lord Governor overhead, Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning felt relieved.
The Three Generals Camp officially began recuperation at the Dice Bone Giant Tree Mountain.
While treating the wounded soldiers, the three generals also conducted small-scale, low-intensity military drills.
Ning Zhuo’s workload increased.
On one hand, he inquired the Dice Bone Demon God for various information about the Thousand Peak Forest, and on the other hand, he worked with Sun Lingtong to repair the chanical Puppets.
After this battle, the number of over four hundred chanical Puppets was directly halved to just over two hundred.
That number had already factored in the repairs.
“The loss in battle is too great.” Ning Zhuo sighed, “If I had known, I would have bought more.”
He also lacked experience in this area.
But now, even if he returned to Canglin Immortal City, it was too late.
Ever since the chanical Princess Shuang Ling entered the city, she aggressively bought all the chanical Puppets. Moreover, she even secured future orders from all rchants under her na.
“Master, do you want more chanical Puppets? I suddenly rembered a piece of information.”
“Liangzhu Country has dispatched a transport team, which includes a large batch of chanical Artifacts. By calculating their pace, they should be arriving at No Thieves Valley soon.”
Ning Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, Sun Lingtong’s eyes brightened, and he exclaid lengthily.
