Chapter 1968: Chapter 1967: Spoils Division Assembly
This was the first ti the youths of both the Human and Monster Races faced such brutal creatures.
They attacked without any thod, coming straight out to kill.
The Demon Clan also considers itself a warrior race, but in the face of these monsters, they internally sigh in inferiority.
As night fell, cultivators from different paths gathered on Tianguan City, worried that demonic beasts might attack under the cover of darkness.
Tianguan City floats 300 ters above the ground, always leaving so room for defense.
Everyone has now learned to band together against the enemy, finding reassurance in staying here.
The Ma Army returned to camp to regroup their troops.
After a headcount, in this great battle, 30,000 soldiers died at the mouths of demonic beasts, with over 10,000 losing both body and soul.
The camp soldiers were solemn, facing such a brutal battle for the first ti; it was an adjustnt for everyone.
The logistics departnt quickly distributed healing pills, and orders for compensation also ca from command.
All fallen officers and soldiers, regardless of rank, were to be compensated at the highest standard.
Two million spirit stones per person.
Officers and soldiers who survived were each rewarded one million spirit stones.
Unlike other cultivators, the Ma Army soldiers consu the Emperor’s salary and are supposed to die on the battlefield.
Receiving such a large amount of compensation suddenly, everyone was joyful inside, but amidst this atmosphere, they couldn’t bring themselves to be happy.
The logistics departnt was a bit overwheld because according to Long Fei’s pre-battle promise, they would face huge compensation.
Not ntioning others, just the Ma Army alone.
30,000 fallen, totaling 60 billion spirit stones.
80,000 survivors, requiring a total of 800 trillion spirit stones.
The Ma Army alone would need to bear 140 billion spirit stones, equating to half of their newspaper sales profit.
Ye Qingtian, Li Yuanqing, and others from command gathered, inviting Long Fei over to discuss the matter.
Jiang Hengshuo, who was in charge of logistics, sighed heavily, “Big brother, didn’t you consider this carefully before the battle? The demonic beasts outside suffered injuries far beyond a million. Calculating at one million spirit stones per person, that’s over a trillion spirit stones! Even if we sell newspapers for another fifteen days, we can’t make back ten tis the money!”
Ye Qingtian and Li Yuanqing glanced at each other and said to Long Fei, “Commander, if it doesn’t work, we only distribute compensation to the fallen soldiers. We’ll owe the rest of the rewards to our other brothers, and distribute them when we have more later.”
Long Fei shook his head with a light smile, “No worries, I have a way. Just follow the plan. Not a single person from the Ma Army’s compensation and rewards can be shortchanged. Once the gates open tomorrow, people will naturally gather to claim their rewards. Just fra them and ensure thorough evidence inspection, so no one can fabricate a monster head to muddy the waters. The monster’s blood is peculiar, and any who have killed a monster, the blood on their magical weapons won’t dissipate quickly, and they’ll have various wounds. If both checks are normal, then it’s passed. If not, just record it for now.”
Seeing Long Fei’s confidence, no one said more.
Even Yao Qinglian, Zhang Danfeng, Ji Wushuang, and Wang Tianhong respected Long Fei imnsely now.
Such a colossal sum of money, only Long Fei could remain so calm.
This calm wasn’t feigned, as if he already had that many spirit stones in hand.
After they left, Long Fei went to the backyard, isolating the surroundings with a spirit stone formation.
Chu Feng and a few others were inside drinking and eating at; this battle left them all covered in wounds.
Bald Dog lost a couple of sections of its tail, and Da Heiniu’s right fist was torn open, with the bone exposed.
The Ground Rat Demon King was the worst off, nearly charred underground by the monsters’ fire.
Chu Feng, Murong Chong, Wang Jie, and others had cracked flesh and looked a bloody ss.
They had been soaking in Long Fei’s Fla Emperor Cauldron until now, and the wounds had stabilized.
Thief Vulture was unscathed, flying about with Long Fei during the battle.
With Long Fei’s shelter, it was safer than anyone.
This guy had once single-handedly created the Vulture Palace and had a knack for winning people over.
It boasted to everyone about its strengths, even claiming Long Fei had created the Vulture Camp of the Ma Army based on its original form.
Those were the elite among elites in the Ma Army, sweeping away monsters with unstoppable force every ti they appeared.
Chu Feng and the others were not the honest type.
Pretending to flatter it, they poured it two cups of wine, making it swell with pride, claiming it had once subdued Long Fei with a single hand but stayed to help upon being moved by his dedication to the Human Race’s destiny.
Long Fei stood behind it with a dark face, waiting for it to finish.
Chu Feng and the others laughed out loud, leaving Thief Vulture confused and anxious, saying, “What I said is true.”
Its body was suddenly kicked heavy like a soccer ball, slamming a distant tree into two pieces.
Thief Vulture let out a cry, realizing Long Fei had arrived, and simply lay on the ground, feigning death with foam at the mouth.
Its body, a gain from an enlightennt opportunity a millennium ago, wasn’t easy to kill.
Long Fei ignored it, sat before everyone, and took out Star Moon Fruit, giving one to each.
He looked at the fruit and sighed, “The fruits we brought are almost all eaten.”
Chu Feng and everyone exchanged a glance, smiling, “What, missing your wife at ho?”
Long Fei laughed, looking at the distant Immortal King Mountain, “We ca here initially for the chance at Immortal King Mountain, but who knew we’d encounter so many events. If I were like you, I wouldn’t be in such trouble.”
He drank his wine, looking desolate.
Chu Feng and the others, being sharp, knew what he ant without him saying.
Bald Dog was the first to jump up, barking at him, “Your business is governnt business; we’re re thieves. Don’t drag us into your affairs. We hardly have any spare grain either.”
The Ground Rat Demon King coughed and chuckled, “Master must be worried about that promised million spirit stones?”
Chu Feng, drinking, calculated with his fingers, “A million spirit stones per beast killed. That’s quite a sum; even the Emperor’s treasury might not cover it.”
Long Fei smiled at them, “I’m rely feeling sentintal, seeing you all tense, as if I’m targeting your spirit stones.”
Everyone just relaxed when he added, “But, I did contribute. You’ve gained much; surely I deserve a share?”
Chu Feng took out a storage ring, chuckling, “Already prepared for you, all the books of the Nine Clans’ Book Pavilion are here. Just take the books, nothing else.”
Murong Chong laughed, “Right, you spendthrift, we won’t partner with you. We brothers save our spirit stones for ourselves, not for you to scatter around like the Wealth-Scattering Child.”
Wang Jie laughed aloud, “Indeed, we want to keep our distance from this Wealth-Scattering Child, lest our assets get dispersed too!”
Chu Feng suggested to Long Fei, “Consort Prince, if you’re short of money, ask your father-in-law! You’re holding the pass for him, saving countless cities within. Surely, he should foot this bill.”
Everyone nodded unanimously, fearing Long Fei might squander away the spirit stones they painstakingly looted.
