Without Your Majesty, we would have been truly finished this ti!
Luckily, Your Majesty had us form a loose skirmishing line with squads spread out.
If we had packed together like those prisoners of war and launched a concentrated attack, the ‘Tower of Light’s Wish’ would have inflicted heavy casualties on us.
It wouldn’t have been impossible to wipe out a whole brigade!” Another elephant squad leader chid in, causing General Reyes’s face to turn red with embarrassnt.
“The ‘Tower of Light’s Wish’?” Liu Zhenhan rolled his eyes, “What is ‘Tower of Light’s Wish’?
Is it so kind of prism?”
“I learned from the slave captives that those twelve prisms are the Mulan Empire’s powerful defensive weapons.
They draw light from the sky to scorch everything in front of them!
They are called the ‘Tower of Light’s Wish’!
I heard that there are only forty of these in the entire Mulan Empire!” The elephant squad leader said excitedly, his trunk curling up: “That thing must weigh tons, being so thick and tall…”
“That’s my spoils of war,” Liu Zhenhan said with a smile, interrupting the overly excited elephant strongman, “You are being too premature in your celebration.
Do you want to know how many Sumr Palace Guards I dispatched for this battle?”
“How many?” all the officers asked in unison.
“Twenty-two mammoth heavy cavalry, four hundred and fifty-two Minotaur iron cavalry, forty Newton sky cavalry, four hundred and forty Chimaera sky cavalry, forty-eight hippo land warfare troops, one hundred and eight Mastiff Warriors, one thousand one hundred and fifty-six Minotaur warriors, forty-four iron-clad golden Mastiff dogs, two Giant Mastiffs, and I even sent one of my personal bodyguards to battle!
A total of two thousand two hundred and sixty-five n!
Forty-six war dogs!
Does the Turun brigade and the assault group combined have two thousand three hundred and forty-two n, just a few more than ?” Liu Zhenhan surveyed these Beamon officers who didn’t know any better, “Do you know how many mages and shamans we have in total?
Five soul shamans from the expeditionary shaman group, two War Shamans accompanying the army, Helen from the storms, Nun Joan of Arc, totaling to nine; do you know how many mages?
Lady Moer and Miss Qian Qian kept supporting you all with lightning and Teardrop Water Arrow rain throughout the battle, do you realize that?
And I transferred two elven mages, Tang Ning and Vassel, from the Erald holand, along with the powerful fire mage Otigha and his apprentice xi, not to ntion my personal bodyguard, the giant Napoleon Iverson, leading forty-eight Hellfire Giants.
Plus, Mr.
Nedved the archer, Trist, and a Golden Toad capable of shooting gold bullets, forming a magical sniping team, along with seven magical beasts and Tide Lord Gerein and myself, our magical power is five tis that of the enemy!
Five tis!”
There was nothing left around but gasps of astonishnt.
“Understand?
We fought and won with five tis the enemy’s magical strength, nine shamans, and the force of four brigades against the enemy’s three regular army brigades and so assorted slaves.
What is there to be proud of?
My Sumr Palace Guard is composed of Beamon’s strongest warriors, each worth ten ordinary ones!” Liu Zhenhan banged the table until it rang, “Elite, elite!
Do you even deserve to be called the most elite force from the northeast?
Dare to call yourselves elite without a single battle experience?
You forget yourselves after winning just one battle!!”
A crowd of officers were scolded until they were soaked with cold sweat, heads down, not daring to utter a word.
“If you hadn’t been able to break through at that mont, I was even getting ready to deploy Moer’s personal bodyguard, the whale warrior Figo!” Liu Zhenhan grew angrier as he scolded, “Skirmishers, skirmishers, what?
Is every squad eating shit?
Skirmishing doesn’t just an attacking helter-skelter!
Skirmishing still requires layers of attack!
Don’t the porcupine spear throwers know they should suppress the enemy on the spot after charging into forty yards?
Why did they join in the charge?
Starting today, all porcupine spear throwers and wart pig warriors will be mixed to form a Mixed Brigade!
If your staff officers don’t know how to do it, I will transfer my Chief of Staff, Robert Baggio, to guide you!”
“By Your Majesty’s command!” Every Turun officer puffed out their chest.
“Report the spoils.
Training troops can’t be rushed, after a couple more battles, you’ll be seasoned.
My Sumr Palace Guard went to the battlefield for the first ti too and also didn’t perform well.
The Chimaera Cavalry even forgot to rely on the Giant Beast’s grasp, insisting on performing the ‘Aegean Drop’!
I repeat, not a single one with a brain!
The Antelope Cavalry actually went after the Cal Cavalry, damn it, could they catch up?
A bunch of idiots!” Liu Zhenhan glared fiercely at Wallace, the Chimaera Cavalry captain who had just walked in, tiptoeing, and Ewin, the captain of the Antelope Heavy Cavalry.
“The main spoils this ti were cals and sabers.
We seized over four thousand cals and a lot of baggage, which included lots of cheese that I think the soldiers will like.
There are also one thousand five hundred and forty-two slaves of varied origins, including many old people and children, mostly craftsn.
I checked—none are blacksmiths.” Porcupine Brigade Leader Vincen Carter, a clever Fawkes, saw that His Majesty had claid those ‘Tower of Light’s Wish’ for himself and was very tactful to not even ntion that spoils, “Your Majesty, we also captured ten lion tars and seven Snake Slaves; all softbones.
I plan to present those ten lion tar ladies to Your Majesty, to help you raise fierce lions!”
These obsequious words imdiately elicited eye rolls from Helen and Moer.
