Chapter 145: Each with Their Own Plans
"In the military camp, you must listen to me. No matter how much I respect you, I cannot allow you to defy military orders! Zhou Zheng, Wan Hu, today you will march with my army. It would be best if you come willingly; if not, I will drag you along," Zhang Gao said.
"What happened?" The Censor pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.
"Lord Censor," everyone greeted respectfully.
"Censor," Zhang Gao nodded and said.
"Zhang Gao, what is going on?" the Censor inquired. Although the Censor's cultivation was not high, he represented Long Po Tian's authority in the army, equivalent to the emperor's presence.
"Lord Censor, this soldier under my command was originally from the Jia Shi Dynasty. Since our army is about to invade the Jia Shi Dynasty, he does not wish to kill his fellow countrymen, so he is requesting not to participate in the battle," Zhang Gao explained.
"What is your name?" the Censor asked, nodding.
"Lord Censor, I am Zhou Zheng," Zhou Zheng replied respectfully.
"You are Zhou Zheng? The Warlord Zhou Zheng?" the Censor exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you know me, my lord?" Zhou Zheng asked with a frown.
"With your Duel King strength, it’s impossible not to remember someone who has risen from Hundred Captain to Warlord in just a few months," the Censor smiled and said. "You are a symbol of our Empire. Since you do not wish to kill your fellow countrymen, then you need not participate in this campaign."
"Thank you, my lord," Zhou Zheng said gratefully.
"Censor, this is unreasonable."
"Hmph! Do I need your guidance on what I say?" the Censor replied coldly.
"Hmph, Censor, this Zhou Zheng is still one of my soldiers. How to handle him is not something you should manage," Zhang Gao said coldly.
"I represent His Majesty!"
"Even if Long Po Tian himself came, he cannot touch the soldiers under my command!"
"You!"
"Gentlemen, you mustn't let a subordinate cause discord," Zhou Zheng quickly interjected.
"Fine. Zhang Gao, how do you propose we handle this matter?" Censor asked.
"Since Censor has taken a step back, I will also take a step back. This Zhou Zheng, and even the tens of thousands under him, can avoid going to the Jia Shi Dynasty, but during this period, he must not receive any significant promotions," Zhang Gao stated.
"You! Zhou Zheng is a model soldier of my Shadow Wind Dynasty. His Majesty is preparing to cultivate him vigorously. What do you mean by this!" Censor shouted angrily.
"It means nothing. Climbing from Hundred Captain to Thousand Household in half a year is indeed impressive, showing that Zhou Zheng is loyal to the Shadow Wind Dynasty. However, he is currently my soldier!" Zhang Gao retorted sharply.
"So what if he is your soldier? Are you really going to let him waste nearly a year or even more time?" Censor exclaimed angrily.
"It's just a year. Otherwise, let him follow me to battle against the Jia Shi Dynasty, and I will make him cannon fodder," Zhang Gao said solemnly.
"He is still from your hometown; you don't have to treat him like this," Censor said softly.
"Let him guard Tianxin City, which is near the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary, until I return," Zhang Gao replied.
"That’s just exile!" Censor shouted furiously.
"Just say whether you agree or not," Zhang Gao said lazily.
"You would really send him to the frontier; you can actually do that," Censor said coldly.
"My soldiers do not listen to my commands; what use are they? You can throw them in Tianxin City, or reuse them, but they must not be given power exceeding that of a city lord. Otherwise, the wrath of the Fighting Saint Expert is not something to be taken lightly," Zhang Gao said calmly.
"Is it necessary for you to argue with a junior?" Censor advised gently.
"Lord Censor, I understand Lord Zhang Gao's feelings. Both of you, please do not let this matter cause a rift between you; discord among the officials would truly endanger our dynasty," Zhou Zheng said respectfully. He then requested, "Lord Censor, I am willing to go to Tianxin City to monitor the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary!"
"Kid, recognize that practical individuals are the true talents; otherwise... hmph!" Zhang Gao said coldly.
"Zhou Zheng, are you sure?" Censor asked.
"I am certain; please allow me, Lord Censor," Zhou Zheng replied respectfully.
"You. Fine, Zhou Zheng, in the name of Censor, I command you to take your soldiers and immediately head to Tianxin City to appoint the city lord," Censor provocatively looked at Zhang Gao. Did you not say that I should not let his power exceed that of a city lord? Well then, I will appoint him as a city lord.
"Hmph!"
"This." Zhou Zheng deliberately glanced timidly at Zhang Gao and then respectfully said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"In the future, anyone who dares act like Zhou Zheng will be executed!" Zhang Gao said coldly before sweeping away.
"Yes, my lord," the soldiers replied respectfully, then spoke enviously.
"Zhang Gao, since you say Zhou Zheng is one of your soldiers, then take the rest of your soldiers to battle; the dynasty will no longer supplement you with a hundred thousand soldiers," Censor set a trap.
"You, hmph! Whatever," Zhang Gao glanced back at Censor and then walked into the military camp.
"Zhou Zheng, after Zhang Gao departs, you should also go to Tianxin City for the appointment," Censor said to Zhou Zheng.
"Yes, Lord Censor," Zhou Zheng replied respectfully and then instructed, "Li Yu, immediately order the soldiers to pack up; our army will depart soon."
"Yes, Wan Hu," Li Yu replied respectfully. In the Shadow Wind Empire's hierarchy, Zhou Zheng was Wan Hu and Li Yu was Thousand Household. Within the Not Falling the Imperial Flag personal guard unit, Zhou Zheng was the leader and Li Yu was the deputy.
"I have high hopes for you, and so does His Majesty. Do your best," Censor patted Zhou Zheng's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord, I will continue to work hard," Zhou Zheng replied.
Three days later, Zhang Gao led an army of one million soldiers—oh, actually ninety-nine thousand soldiers—marching towards Slaughter City. At the same time, Saint Wuxin also brought one million soldiers to Slaughter City, while Yang Chen was still refining the soldiers' bodies.
Slaughter City,
"Master, there must be a million troops, right? And they are from two opposing forces," Tang Feng said in fear. "Moreover, both leaders are high-level Fighting Saint Experts."
"Don't worry about that. No matter what happens, Yang Chen will handle it. We just need to assist from the sidelines," Tang An said.
"Master, that's the flag of the Tianzhou Shadow Wind Dynasty. Are we really going to do nothing?" Tang Feng asked.
"Even if we intervene, we can't solve any problems. Do you think I can single-handedly dissuade a million troops? Let's observe quietly and wait for Yang Chen to return before taking action," Tang An replied.
"Then we have no choice but to do it this way. Master, I can already forge Iron Stone Essence," Tang Feng said happily.
"Ore is refined into Iron Stone, and Iron Stone is hammered into Iron Essence. Iron Essence is refined into Essence Mother, and Essence Mother is forged into Spirit Essence. Spirit Essence Creatures are Immortal Essence, and Immortal Essence can grow into Divine Essence. Wind, your path is still long," Tang An patted Tang Feng's shoulder and said solemnly.
"Yes, Master. I will continue to work hard and strive to reach your level as soon as possible and forge Iron Stone Spirit Essence," Tang Feng said firmly.
