134: Alien Nightmare

"Go back. They should be nearing the border of Shang Commandery by now," General Wang Li said to the two of them.

"General, have the White Horse Righteous Cavalry come with your Army? I want to take them directly to rendezvous with General She Jian," Lin Yue asked.

If they left, She Jian would lack cavalry and mobility, making it very difficult to fight the Xiongnu people. What's more, with Wuluoli captured, the Xiongnu people Army would surely concentrate their forces to fiercely attack She Jian's Army and rescue Wuluoli!

If Modu's Army attacked She Jian on their way back, then She Jian would truly be in danger!

Although he couldn't turn the tide by going back, he could at least contribute.

General Wang Li smiled after hearing this, then said earnestly, "No wonder She Jian values you so highly, not hesitating to ask me for men and horses, and even requesting Du Tong and Du Song for you. It seems there's a reason for all of it.

You two should still return to Shang Commandery with me. Modu hasn't gone far, and it's very dangerous for you to go now. You've just accomplished a great feat, don't put yourself in danger again.

Besides, the White Horse Righteous Cavalry haven't arrived, and neither has my Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army. For just the two of you to go, your impact would be minimal.

Although your Martial Power is high, in large-scale Army battles, individual bravery cannot dictate the situation."

"The White Horse Righteous Cavalry haven't arrived, and your Army hasn't either?" Lin Yue asked in disbelief.

"That's right. The Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army is mostly infantry. By the time they arrived, Modu would have already fled, so why bother with a futile effort?

As for She Jian, I've already dispatched nearby Army to assist him. Moreover, Wuluoli has been escorted to the rear, so once the news reaches the front lines, the Xiongnu people will likely not dare to act rashly.

After all, Touman Chanyu's prestige is currently soaring, and no one dares to openly defy his orders," General Wang Li said with a smile.

"Then you..."

"I was just scaring him," General Wang Li said with a laugh, then took the lead and rode off.

[Congratulations to the player for slaying 551 Xiongnu Cavalry, rewarding 29,600 Merit Points!]

[Congratulations to the player for slaying 6 Initial-stage Martial General, 3 Mid-Level Military General, and 2 High-level Military General, rewarding the player with 41,000 Merit Points!]

[Due to the player being in the Great Qin faction, an additional 3,530 Merit Points are awarded to the player!]

Lin Yue was startled; he had actually killed so many people in one battle!

Moreover, the merit points from just the Ranked Military General alone exceeded the total merit points gained from slaying over five hundred Soldiers! It seems that next time he uses the Bloodrage Talisman, he should kill more Ranked Military General, which is much better than just focusing on ordinary Soldiers!

If he didn't possess a Heavenly-grade weapon, his blade would probably have dulled. It was far less profitable than the gains from Ranked Military General!

Looking at his panel again, the amount of merit points he now possessed, plus the previous thirty thousand merit points, meant he actually had 104,130 merit points!

The harvest from this battle was so immense!

It seemed that using this Bloodrage Talisman was not a loss; it could be said to be the best way for an Unranked Military General like him to temporarily boost his combat power!

But before he could continue to be pleasantly surprised, the game system's voice came again!

[Player has accumulated 1,018 foreign race Soldiers killed!

Total accumulated kills reached 2,216 people!]

[Congratulations to the player for reaching 1,000 foreign race Soldiers killed, rewarding the player with the medal: Nightmare of the Foreign Races (Bronze-grade)]

[Nightmare of the Foreign Races (Bronze-grade):

Description: Your name echoes among the foreign races, deeply feared by them. Your name can stop children from crying at night! Become the Nightmare of the Foreign Races!

Effect: When the player faces foreign race Army, it can reduce the morale of the foreign race Army by 10%!

Upgrade condition: Player's personal kill count of foreign race Soldiers reaches 10,000, or leading an Army to kill 1,000,000 foreign race Soldiers!]

[Due to the player's excellent performance, the player has gained 1,000 Reputation Points!]

His second medal!

The first medal was the equally Bronze-grade "Great Qin Defender," which had the effect of increasing merit points gained by 5% when in the Great Qin faction, but it had never been upgraded to the next level.

Now he possessed a second medal, Nightmare of the Foreign Races, which could reduce the morale of foreign race Army by 10%!

It seemed he was now a brand name; just standing on the front line could automatically reduce the opponent's morale. This was the rhythm of accumulating achievements on the heads of the foreign races!

[Congratulations to the player for being the first to obtain the medal "Nightmare of the Foreign Races", rewarding the player with Golden Military General Recruitment Order × 1]

[Wish you a pleasant game!]

Pleasant, extremely pleasant! Lin Yue thought.

He not only gained a hundred thousand merit points but also one thousand reputation, and the Bronze-grade medal of Nightmare of the Foreign Races!

Finally, there was a Golden Military General Recruitment Order, capable of recruiting a Second-rate or First-rate Military General!

But in Lin Yue's opinion, there was no 'or'.

He was so weak, the system would definitely let him draw a First-rate Military General. At that time, his strength would surely reach another level!

"We're here. What are you grinning foolishly about, kid?" General Wang Li asked with a frown.

Zhao Yun looked at his Lord, who was chuckling to himself, almost drooling, and felt somewhat ashamed, constantly having an urge to cover his face and flee. What was wrong with his Lord? He wasn't usually like this!

"Hmm? General, what did you say?" Lin Yue asked, snapping back to reality.

"Nothing, just follow me," General Wang Li sighed and said no more.

Lin Yue then noticed the Army marching ahead, and followed General Wang Li forward, rushing from the rear of the Army to the front. Along the way, he carefully observed the Army and found that this Army, whether in terms of military appearance or combat power, was incomparable to She Jian's Army.

Furthermore, the Qin Army's bow and crossbow ratio was already quite high, but this Army's bow and crossbow configuration was even higher than theirs, and their equipment was even better!

Presumably, this was the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army!

An Army that could rank among the top in Great Qin!

"Lord!" Lin Yue rode his horse to where the White Horse Righteous Cavalry were. Li Mu, Xing Daorong, and others all smiled widely upon seeing Lin Yue, delighted to see Lin Yue and Zhao Yun return safely!

But the happiest of all was Wuluoli. Seeing Lin Yue brought back by General Wang Li meant he was completely safe!

"Modu left?" Wuluoli asked.

"No, General Wang Li rescued us. Modu is still chasing us from behind," Lin Yue said with a shake of his head and a worried expression.

"Then why aren't we running faster!" Wuluoli, uncharacteristically, was full of panic, struggling and almost falling off his horse. Fortunately, Liu Sandao held him down.

"I'm just teasing you. Besides, who is 'we' with you? You are a Xiongnu people Prince, I am a Great Qin Military General. Why do you speak as if you are like the Qin People?" Lin Yue said with a laugh. Because he had repeatedly put himself in dangerous situations, he had to mock Wuluoli to vent his resentment.

Wuluoli's expression was one of pain upon hearing this, but it quickly vanished, and he immediately reverted to his usual calm demeanor.

It was ironic, really. Wuluoli knew the Qin Army wouldn't kill him; people of his status, even if captured, rarely met a direct execution. But Modu would truly kill him!

In ancient times, when two nations went to war, generals might fight to the death on the battlefield, but many were secretly good friends. Two nations at war, each serving their own lord, but it didn't affect their friendship. It had always been so, and there were many modern examples.

Lin Yue keenly caught his expression, thinking that since ancient times, the imperial family was heartless. Whether it was the Central Plains dynasties or the nomadic ones, they would fight to the death for a throne, and they even enjoyed it.

To raise sons like wolves rather than sheep—Emperor Taizong of Tang's words fully reflected the emperors' philosophy towards their princes. Wuluoli also had foreign blood, so the Xiongnu people must be even more obsessed with wolf-like nature.

Even The First Emperor feared that Prince Fusu was too deeply influenced by Confucianism, which was why he sent Prince Fusu to the Great Wall Legion as Supervisor.

Next time he returned to reality, he would check when Fusu served as Supervisor in history. He also wanted to meet this famous tragic figure.
