Chapter 583: Chapter 75: War Resurfaces, One Year Later, The Method of Escaping (16,000 Da Zhang)_7

"Whew~" Zhao Xing let out a long breath, rubbing his temples.

Han Bing said, "Actually, we have already done very well. You set your standards too high. The injured soldier rate in the Xuanjia Army and Tiger Flood Dragon Army is much lower than ours."

A lower injured soldier rate meant that many were beyond saving, thus resulting in fewer injured soldiers.

A truly excellent logistics medical camp had a very high injured soldier rate.

"Take me to see the wounded camp." Zhao Xing was planning to visit the wounded camp.

Just then, his Earth Mirror started vibrating.

Summer Jing’s excited voice came through.

"Good news, there’s been a major breakthrough on the Western front!"

"Lu Yuanwei has killed Yang Qilin and has penetrated deep. Little Prince Yanda is dividing his forces westward. Mr. Zhao, we are about to win!"

Zhao Xing quickly took out the battlefield report.

Indeed, there was a message about Lu Yuanwei’s breakthrough on the Western front, killing Yang Qilin, and slaying over fifty thousand enemies.

"Ultimately, Lu Yuanwei broke through the Western front. His reputation as the greatest commander in the Middle Grade battlefield from my previous life wasn’t just talk." Zhao Xing finally felt relieved as he read this message.

...

At the end of June in the 19th year of the Jingxin Calendar, the Divine Might Army, Xuanjia Army, Tiger Flood Dragon Army, Fierce Sun Army, Divine Thunder Army, Yuanhua Army, Huan You Army, Danxia Army, and Black Dragon Army—a total of one hundred forty-three troops and three major corps, completed the encirclement of the Qinggang War Zone from the east, north, and west. freёweɓnovel_com

In August of the same year, the Western front’s main commander, Little Prince Yanda, was killed and 800,000 troops were annihilated, creating Lu Yuanwei’s title as the greatest commander in the Middle Grade battlefield.

The corps on the eastern and northern fronts also made significant progress.

In early September, the Golden Feather Royal Court ordered the abandonment of the Qinggang War Zone.

In October, the last piece of the Fire Demon Territory, which was also a juicy target, was occupied by Great Zhou.

Thus, the entire Fire Demon Territory fell.

...

Above Lanjiang, the waves surged over a hundred feet high. Above a hundred feet, the blue Gang Wind was almost tangible.

Zhao Xing stood on a reef, silently gazing at the obstacle stretching across the horizon.

"Damn, fighting in the Southern Desolate always has this disadvantage." Summer Jing, riding a Flying Dragon, cursed, "One natural barrier after another. Once you get over a huge mountain, there’s another great river."

"Wait until the Minister of Agriculture and the magician slowly manage this branch of Lanjiang. Then with the navy’s ships transporting us over, in less than three months, we’ll be able to continue pursuing the Golden Feather Royal Court."

"Mr. Zhao, in these great times, the achievements we are establishing will be unparalleled in our lifetimes!" Summer Jing said spiritedly.

"Brother Xia." Zhao Xing gazed at the horizon and suddenly spoke, "Have you ever considered stopping here?"

Summer Jing glanced at Zhao Xing, "Never thought about it. We just won a battle; we should pursue the victory!"

Seeing Zhao Xing remain silent, Summer Jing asked with concern, "Mr. Zhao, have you been feeling a bit tired lately?"

"You’ve been working non-stop for a while. You should really take some rest for a few days."

"Don’t worry, we have three more months before crossing the river. You should rest well and leave military affairs to the Deputy General."

"Mm." Zhao Xing refocused his mind and returned to the camp.

...

[Pacifying Barbarian Battle Merit List]

[Name: Zhao Xing]

[Army: Divine Might Army]

[Position: Guardian Captain (Secondary Sixth-Rank)]

[Merits: 3,702,154]

[Rank: 1521]

Looking at his ranking on the Pacifying Barbarian Battle Merit List and his over three million merits, Zhao Xing couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless.

Even though he followed the rules completely during this campaign, his merits still skyrocketed from zero to over 3.7 million after the Qinggang War Zone battle!

The Qi Fortune of Yanwu on the battlefield made enemies seem like they were sent over for him to kill.

These merits wouldn’t be enough to confer the title of Marquis, but a Fifth-Rank promotion was certain.

Both his loose rank and merit rank could also be raised by one grade.

"I’ve been low-profile enough, but my abilities are too strong, and my Qi Fortune is high. Even while I stayed in the supply city, Lord Huoyu was sent over for me to kill, it’s unbelievable..."

"Even in March, I hadn’t instructed which medicinal herbs to plant, yet my subordinates found seven rare sixth-rank herbs in spirit turtle city and even discovered a fertile piece of land perfect for cultivation."

"Coincidentally, the battlefield realm then announced an advanced task for those seven herbs."

"I did nothing, and earned 500,000 battle merits just by lying down."

"If the early part was just good luck, the subsequent events seemed rather eerie." Zhao Xing pondered.

"It felt like someone was deliberately setting me up, tailoring tasks for me."

"Just when I happened to have something, the advanced battle merit task would be announced."

"Whenever I encountered danger, the battlefield realm would immediately update with intelligence, and spies would come forward to report."

Zhao Xing felt that this war was filled with oddities.

Although the overall progress of the battlefield wasn’t fast, and the battle was rather tough, as a logistics Minister of Agriculture, his performance was middling, yet he was inexplicably pushed up to a rank of over a thousand.

Zhao Xing asked Liu Tianning, who affirmed he hadn’t done anything of the sort or spoken to anyone about it.

"So who is boosting me to death?"

The answer was rather obvious: Prince Liang’s Faction.

Only Prince Liang had enough power to influence the creation of such advanced tasks.

"Regardless of whether it’s Prince Liang or not, my current situation is quite dangerous." Zhao Xing thought.

"Even if I do nothing, I will still be promoted to Fifth Rank by the Jingxin Calendar’s 20th year."

"This is not a good thing." Zhao Xing mused.

First, he wasn’t prepared for a breakthrough. If he were conferred by the court, it would mean upgrading by borrowing the power of the country’s Qi Fortune, which wasn’t gained through his cultivation and presented hidden risks.

Secondly, once he became Fifth Rank, it would be impossible to withdraw from the battlefield. Sixth Rank still had a chance of retreat, as they were merely cannon fodder in the Middle Grade battlefield.
