Chapter 51: Military Reports, Evil Remnant Kings, and Fire Spirits
Wei Wuxian's military report was simple.
On September 29, at three o'clock, more than 100 Liukou rushed to the pass, and the top and bottom of the Yuhua Pass worked together to repel the Liukou, kill 12 people, and seize 1,359 Beiban shield coins, and the deputy commander Yu Dabiao and 22 soldiers were killed in battle, seriously wounded 7 people, and lightly injured 11 people. He asked the military department to give bereavement and commendation to the military attachΓ©s and non-commissioned officers who died in the battle after verification, and suggested that Shen Tao replace Yu Dabiao, who died in the battle, and be promoted to deputy commander.
This is a report asking for merit, if Wei Qixun didn't know Wei Wuxian's identity, he would still want to intercept it, but now he can only sign and report it word for word, as for how the above will decide, it is not up to him to influence.
The military newspapers reported layer by layer that the skirmish outside the Jade Bottle Pass was like a stone thrown into the calm lake at the juncture of the peace talks between Great Xia and the Northern Barbarians, and its impact was so great that Wei Wuxian expected, and three days later, an order was issued from the Kyoto side.
The imperial court first affirmed the merits of this battle against the Liukou, and then strictly ordered not to easily provoke border provocations, close the gate before the peace talks, and the guards were not allowed to leave the customs without authorization.
From the content of the decree, it can be seen how much importance the Kyoto Imperial Court attaches to the peace talks between the two countries: it is afraid that the soldiers at the border gates will be greedy for merit and lightly provoke the border talks, which will affect the peace talks.
Wei Wuxian didn't think about provoking a side provocation, closed the door according to his will, and trained the soldiers wholeheartedly.
This time, thirty new recruits were transferred from the Lingzhou battalion to replace the twenty-two non-commissioned officers and seven seriously wounded who died in battle, and the non-commissioned officer plan promoted in Wei Wuxian's military report was approved above, so Shen Tao, who was outside at this time, was already the deputy commander of Yuping Pass, and the other two captains who took over the positions of Chen Ping and Liu Sanpao were Xu Hao and Lin Xiaotian.
These two are from the team of Song Zhe and Shen Tao respectively, and they are the original Liu Tiegun's people.
According to the normal practice, new recruits should be assigned to different teams, and the old and new should be combined to maximize the combat effectiveness of the army. However, Chen Ping and Liu Sanpao's two teams were killed, so the remaining eight teams had to be reorganized into ten teams, and then thirty people were inserted into the ten teams.
This means that the team has to go through the whole training, and through training, they will get acquainted with each other so that they can adapt to future battles.
Wei Wuxian can also take this opportunity to fully control the team and improve the overall strength of the team.
Outside the Jade Bottle Pass, in the royal tent of the Northern Barbarian Evil Yu King, the leader of the Black Armor Guard, Demuhua, knelt on the ground in fear, and in front of him was the high Evil Yu King, a Northern Barbarian giant who could decide the life and death of tens of millions of people with a single sentence.
"Twelve black-armored guards can't even take a small pass with only a hundred people, can I still trust you to guard the king's tent?"
Tuomuhua didn't dare to argue, through the information sent back from the front, he knew that the battle of the Jade Bottle Pass had been calculated, and the other party had already prepared, and he didn't know what the inside story was, but he had to bear the anger of the Evil Remnant King, because he was the leader of the Black Armor Guard.
Kong Liren said on the side: "Respected Evil Yu King, this is not the fault of General Tuomuhua, if it weren't for the leakage of the news, He Daoyou and the twelve warriors would not have died in the battle, even so, it is said that more than 20 Great Xia soldiers were killed, one of them is still the deputy commander, and it does not disgrace the prestige of the Black Armor Guard." β
The Evil Yu King snorted coldly: "Go and get the ten whips yourself, if you make a mistake next time, be careful of your head." β
Tak Muhua breathed a sigh of relief, the ten lashes were more humiliating than physical pain for him, and he looked at Kong Liren gratefully, and then went out of the king's tent to find the criminal justice to be punished.
After waiting for him to leave, the Evil Yu King said: "Immortal Master Kong, I just got the news that Immortal Master Wu has been killed in Yanzhou, and now Immortal Master He is also gone, this king is in urgent need of employing people, can Immortal Master have a suitable candidate?"
Kong Liren said: "Respected Evil Yu King, please rest assured, I have recruited three fellow Daoists for you this time, and I will come over in a few days." β
The Evil Yu King's eyes lit up, the gloomy color on his face disappeared immediately, and he laughed and said, "There are Lao Kong Immortal Masters, I don't know how they compare with Immortal Masters?"
Kong Liren said: "Only above me, not below me." β
When the Evil Yu King heard that the strength of the person who came was still above Kong Liren, he was even more happy, and raised his hand to pat it. After a while, three beautiful women came in from outside the tent and knelt at the feet of the evil remnant king.
The Evil Yu King glanced at Kong Liren, whose gaze had been fixed on the three beauties, and was very satisfied with his reaction.
As long as you grasp the desires of these cultivators, you can firmly control them.
"The immortal master is tired, you still don't serve the immortal master to rest!"
The evil remnant king looked at the three beauties who walked out of the king's tent with smiling faces and Kong Liren, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Umon!"
"In!"
A burly, tall young Northern Barbarian officer walked in.
"When will the Master of Mandala Temple arrive?"
"Seven days later. β
"Good. β
"Honorable Evil Yu King, what should I do over there at the Jade Bottle Pass?"
"Don't worry about it for now, wait until a few mages arrive. β
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three days later, Wei Wuxian took the time to go to the Qingyang Sect in order to exchange for the sixth layer of the [Five Elements Technique] and to purchase the last spirit planting technique, the first product [Fire Spirit Technique].
After he completed the fifth layer of [Five Elements Jue], he still had three hundred and sixteen lower-grade Yuan Crystals left, and during this period of cultivation, he used up forty-two of them, and the balance was two hundred and seventy-four, plus the one hundred and thirty-two pieces he got from He Xinyin, there were still a total of four hundred and six pieces.
These Yuan Crystals are temporarily enough to cultivate, and in order to improve their strength as much as possible, they want to practice the first [Fire Spirit Technique].
The first grade [Fire Spirit Technique] only needs fifty lower-grade Yuan Crystals, plus one hundred lower-grade Yuan Crystals to complete the technique, a total of only one hundred and fifty, and it will not affect his cultivation.
However, it is a bit difficult to complete the sixth layer of [Five Elements Technique], the sixth layer of [Five Elements Technique] requires up to 800 lower-grade Yuan Crystals, which shows that the more advanced the exercises, the more Yuan Crystals are needed to complete them.
Wei Wuxian was in a hurry, so he didn't go to Fang City to see Ma Laosan and a few people, and after receiving the sixth layer of [Five Elements Formula] and purchasing the first product [Fire Spirit Technique] in the Internal Affairs Hall, he returned directly to the Jade Bottle Pass.
He was now accustomed to cultivating on the castle tower of the Jade Bottle Pass. The environment here is quiet, the vitality of heaven and earth is relatively stronger than outside, and it is safer to be guarded outside.
Wei Wuxian first arranged for three teams of people to patrol outside, and then began to check the ancient mirror.
[Five Elements Formula]: The Five Elements Exercise is extremely incomplete, and it takes 800 first-grade crystals to complete it.
[Fire Spirit Technique]: Five Elements Technique, severely disabled, requires one hundred first-grade crystals to complete, and the loss of one year is a year.
Host Possession Filament: 356 (Beginner)
Host Remaining Lifespan: 45 years (5 years added to the next level)
Not surprisingly, just like what he saw in the Qingyang Sect, Wei Wuxian's longevity increased by five years after he advanced to the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and there were still forty-four years left after completing the first product [Fire Spirit Technique] this time.
After five breaths, Wei Wuxian came out of the ancient mirror, and compared with the original one, the speed and efficiency of the original [Fire Spirit Technique] after the completion were much higher, roughly similar to the first product [Golden Spirit Technique], which could be transformed into thirty percent of the Yuan Force, and it could be transformed into the True Yuan Fire almost in a single thought.
In terms of fire control, there is not much difference, and there is nothing outstanding about it.
