King Jing Manor.
When Li Lin, who was covered in blood, returned to the manor, Cai Yan and Shangguan Yunlan saw the blood on Li Lin's armor and were so scared that their faces turned pale.
After a careful examination, the two women were only relieved when they confirmed that it was beast blood.
After taking a bath, Li Lin went to rest.
After the war, the civil officials of the Yamen would naturally handle the statistics.
Li Lin, who had experienced a great battle, was exhausted even though he had the cultivation of the Divine Treasure Realm.
…….
Four hours later, Li Lin slowly woke up.
In the main hall of the courtyard, the civil officials and generals gathered.
"Your Highness, in this battle, we killed more than 23,500 beasts above the Connate realm and more than 264,000 beasts below the Connate realm.”
"The North Manor Army lost 3,634 men and injured 862. The Tianjie Army lost 8,423 men. In addition, the new army, Tie Futu, had lost 1,983 men, while the Tiger Leopard Cavalry had lost 9,356 men.”
“…….”
He listened to Fa Zheng's report of his gains and losses.
Li Lin's expression was grim.
Under the command of several Divine Treasure Realm generals, there was also the powerful North Mansion Army, as well as the powerful troops like Tie Futu and the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.
Facing the beast tide, they actually lost more than 20,000.
If the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Tie Futu had not charged into the beast tide first, the losses of White Cloud City might have been even greater.
"Burial the fallen soldiers. Those with family members will receive double the compensation. Anyone who dares to touch the compensation will be killed!”
"Here! Your subordinate will personally watch over it. Don't worry, Your Highness.”Fa Zheng's expression turned solemn as he replied.
"Is there any news from Youzhou City?”Li Lin asked again.
"Yes, the chief historian and General Lu have sent a message. Youzhou City has suffered nearly ten thousand casualties and killed hundreds of Nascent Realm fierce beasts and over thirty thousand fierce beasts below the Nascent Realm.”
"In addition, State Duke Hu and the cavalry of the Left Military Guards, Right Military Guards, and Right Military Marquis have just entered Youzhou. There are even more infantry troops behind us."
"General Lu has already led the wolf cavalry to welcome them. The chief historian has sent a message asking how to deal with them.”
"Tell the army to stop. From the spoils of war, give fifty thousand beasts below the Connate level to State Duke Hu and the others.”
"Tell them that I still need to deal with Youzhou, so I won't meet them personally!”
"Yes, this subordinate will do as you say."
……
Thousands of miles away from Youzhou City, Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry that had just fought a fierce battle and stopped the nearly 100,000 cavalry of the Left Military Guards and the other three guards.
Having just experienced a great battle, the blood aura was so thick that it was almost tangible.
General Lu Bu rushed out and stood hundreds of steps in front of the formation. He shouted,""King Jing's subordinate, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Residence, the Commander of the Wolf Cavalry Army, Lu Bu, greets the Great Generals!”
In front of the formation, Qin Qiong and the other two looked at the wolf cavalry opposite them with envy in their eyes.
Then, the three of them sighed again.”
The three of them stepped out of the formation and rode their horses forward, cupping their hands politely at Lu Bu.
"General Lu, how's the situation in Youzhou?" asked Qin Qiong.”
"Reporting to Great General, the Youzhou Beast Tide has been eliminated, and the army is currently cleaning up the battlefield. His Highness is busy with matters in White Cloud City, so it is inconvenient for him to come.”
"It's even?" Although they had already guessed it, Qin Qiong and the others were still shocked when Lu Bu said it.
"That's right!"
The three of them looked at each other and said,"In that case, let's order the army to station and personally go to Youzhou and White Cloud City to take a look." After all, we are here on the emperor's orders. If we don't see it with our own eyes, we won't be at ease.”
Although General Lu was only a Deputy Commander of the Prince's Mansion, he had a strong aura and a strong aura.
He wanted to let Qin Qiong and the others know that this person's strength was definitely not inferior to his, and even faintly surpassed him.
Therefore, they didn't use their status as higher-ups to suppress him. Instead, they treated him as an equal.
Lu Bu considered the request of the three generals for a few seconds before nodding,""Great General, you can follow me to Youzhou City.”
"Good!"
Following which, Qin Qiong summoned the deputy general and ordered him to lead the army to camp. Once the rest of the infantry arrived, they would be stationed and await further orders.
As for the three Dukes, each of them brought hundreds of personal guards and followed Lu Bu to Youzhou City.
As for the army's food, the nearby cities would naturally arrange for it.
When they arrived at Youzhou City, the Tianjie Army and the Military Mansion sped up to clear away the ferocious beasts that might have been missed around Youzhou City.
After meeting the three dukes, the chief historian Zhang Zhao also briefly explained the situation in Youzhou.
However, White Cloud City only said that they suffered heavy casualties and chased away the beasts, but did not say anything about the specific situation.
After confirming that Youzhou City and White Cloud City were safe, the three dukes settled down in Youzhou City.
The reason why they stayed was because they learned from Zhang Zhao that King Jing wanted to express his feelings.
Even if the three armies split the 50,000 murderers evenly, each guard would get close to 20,000. This was a huge amount of resources.
After three days, 100,000 ferocious beasts were escorted to Youzhou City by the North Mansion Army.
Then, Qin Qiong and the others prepared to bring the 10,000 or so Left Martial Guards cavalry to escort these gifts back to the Divine Capital.
Boom!
However, just as Qin Qiong and the others were about to leave after bidding farewell to Zhang Zhao and Lu Bu outside Youzhou City, a shocking explosion sounded.
Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the loud noise. Then, their mouths fell open.
In the northern sky, a pillar of light that was as bright as day shot up into the sky and stood between heaven and earth.
"Hiss! Is that…the direction of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains?"
Since they could see it in Youzhou City, they could naturally see it more clearly in White Cloud City.
After a shocking explosion, when the pillar of light shot into the sky, Li Lin immediately flew to the highest point of the manor. Beside him were Cai Yan, Shangguan Yunlan, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and the others.
Li Lin's expression darkened as he looked at the pillar of light that was radiant but not dazzling at all.
"Zhang Han!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Immediately lead the Secret Shadow Guards to investigate. This king wants to know what that pillar of light is.”
"Here!"
"Er 'Lai."
"I'm here."
"Order Li Cunxiao to lead the Tiger Guards, Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Iron Futu, 30,000 North Manor Army, and 20,000 Heavenly Festival Army to guard the south of Tianzhu Mountain.”
"No one is allowed to enter the Pillar of Heavens Mountains at this time.”
"Here!"
"Xiaozhi!"
"Your subordinate is here."
"Go to the Academy and ask my father-in-law to follow Li Cunxiao to the Pillar of Heavens Mountains in case a grandmaster appears to pressure him. Also, tell Mr. Sima to pay attention to the situation in the city.”
"Here!"
There was no way to hide such a phenomenon from the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
Next, there would probably be countless experts from sects, aristocratic families, and even holy lands coming. If he didn't make arrangements in advance, Youzhou might be in chaos.
Of course, it was unclear what this pillar of light represented. Was it a bad omen or an opportunity? However, it did not stop Li Lin from making preparations.
