325: The war is over, Wang Li returns

"Gulp..."

Xing Daorong fell stiffly, his eyes closing as he fainted once more.

Lin Yue was stunned, clearly caught off Guard.

Seeing this, Chun Xingde's forehead creased with a black line, and he couldn't help but complain to Gongsun Guang, "You child, so rash! Hurry and apply the medicine."

"Mm, alright, Master." Gongsun Guang nodded, not quite understanding, and then scurried off to fetch the medicine.

Chun Xingde then smiled wryly at Lin Yue, "This child is good in every way, except he's too focused."

"Focus is a good thing," Lin Yue chuckled in agreement. At least he was at ease with A Rong in Gongsun Guang's care.

As for A Rong, it was fine for him to sleep a little longer now.

"Then I won't stay. Old sir, please help look after my brother," Lin Yue said softly.

"Rest assured," Chun Xingde replied with a smile.

"This humble general takes his leave." Lin Yue cupped his hands in a salute, then addressed the Generals gathered around, "You may all disperse. Too many people are not conducive to A Rong's recovery. Pan Feng and Tian Liang can stay and look after him."

"Understood!" the Generals responded, then all walked out of the tent.

Lin Yue had just stepped out of the Encampment, taking a deep breath of fresh air,

And at that moment, the system's voice conveniently chimed in.

"Crucial Battle Concluded!"

"Congratulations, Player, for participating in this battle as a Great Qin General. Rewards are being calculated. Please wait patiently..."

"Calculation Complete! In this battle, the Player eliminated 271 Xiongnu Cavalry, 7 Xiongnu Initial-stage Martial Generals, and 3 Mid-Level Military Generals, earning a total of 40,005 Merit Points!"

"Congratulations, Player, for being among the top ten Generals to win the war, earning 60% of the Glory Value base!"

"Player's evaluation for this battle: Showing Initial Prowess! Gained a 30% Glory Value bonus!"

"Congratulations, Player, for defeating opponents despite a significant disparity in strength while in a perilous situation! Player gains a 50% Glory Value bonus!"

"In this crucial battle, the Player participated as a General. Base Glory Value: 28,000. Player participated as one of the top three Generals, earning 60% of the Glory Value base, which is 16,800 points.

Player's faction defeated opponents while in a perilous situation +50%. Player's personal evaluation was Showing Initial Prowess +30%. Total Glory Value distributed: 180%. Player earned a total of 30,240 Glory Points!"

"Players can use Glory Points to redeem corresponding items in the Glory Shop to enhance your gaming experience!"

In this battle, Lin Yue gained a total of 40,005 Merit Points and 30,240 Glory Points!

Adding to his previous accumulation, he now possessed 219,185 Merit Points and 88,640 Glory Points, far more than what he earned from merely coasting last time!

The scale of this battle was also much larger than the previous one. The only slight drawback was that with Fusu and Wang Li's participation, his position in this major battle had fallen out of the top three, resulting in a 20% reduction in the base Glory Value he received. However, fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

Had it not been for their involvement, he wouldn't have continuously drawn enemy fire, nor would the war have escalated to such a large scale. And without Wang Li's ambush at the final moment, Lin Yue wouldn't have been confident in achieving such a victory!

So, overall, Lin Yue was quite satisfied.

Now that the Army's Merit Points had reached 210,000, Lin Yue decided that after this major battle concluded, he would exchange for a batch of Qin Crossbows to arm the Fief's Guard. The impact of the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army today had been truly immense!

Even if he armed a thousand-strong group of archers and crossbowmen, it would be enough for him to walk unhindered in Heyecheng.

Speaking of Heyecheng, he hadn't been back for a long time, and as he followed the Army on campaign without a fixed location, he hadn't received any letters from his Fief in a long time either.

"Sigh, it seems I'll have to go back and take a look once the war ends," Lin Yue mused, after all, the Fief was something he had built up little by little, and he had deep feelings for it.

He shook his head and walked forward.

Suddenly he remembered, the system prompt had just sounded, which meant Wang Li's side had definitively ended the battle, and they should be returning now... Lin Yue continued walking forward and heard some commotion outside the Encampment. After a few steps, he discovered that Wang Li's Army had returned.

At this moment, not only Lin Yue, but Wang Da Tou, She Jian, and all the Generals under Lin Yue's command had heard the sound and were rushing out.

"General, you're back?" Wang Da Tou said with a smile.

"Mm, gather the Generals who participated in this battle. We'll go to the main tent to pay our respects to the Great General and the Young Master," Wang Li nodded indifferently.

"Understood!" the Generals replied, then followed Wang Li to the Central Army's main tent.

After reporting their arrival, the group entered the main tent.

"This humble general pays respects to the Great General and the Young Master!" the Generals said, cupping their hands as they entered the main tent.

Fusu nodded in acknowledgment, while General Meng Tian smiled, "Wang Li, you all performed well this time."

"Thank you, Great General! This battle was entirely due to the Great General and the Young Master's effective command. This humble general and others are undeserving!" Wang Li said.

"Alright, there's no need for flattery. That doesn't fly here; only strength speaks.

How was the battle this time?" General Meng Tian asked.

"There were a million pursuers in this battle. This humble general killed 400,000 enemies, captured 100,000, and approximately 200,000 Xiongnu Cavalry fled at the sight of us. Our Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army suffered no casualties!" Wang Li said in a deep voice.

Lin Yue was a little surprised. The grasslands between those two hills would surely grow incredibly lush next year!

General Meng Tian and Fusu's expressions remained unchanged upon hearing this battle report, showing no surprise at all. Such a victory for the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army was perfectly normal in their eyes.

"She Jian, what about you?" General Meng Tian asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the Great General, This humble general, following orders, launched a night raid on King Fuli's main Encampment last night, killing over 150,000 Xiongnu defenders and capturing King Fuli alive.

However, on the way back to the Encampment, I accidentally got lost and stumbled into a Xiongnu Encampment. It was then that This humble general realized the Encampment I had inadvertently entered was actually the Right Commandant King's Encampment!

Fortunately, the enemy troops were in a panic. This humble general led the Army to kill nearly 200,000 Xiongnu defenders and captured the Right Commandant King's Prime Minister, as well as dozens of Local Official.

But the Right Commandant King suddenly returned to the Encampment, and his strength was formidable. After a fierce battle with him, This humble general could not gain a decisive victory and had to burn the enemy's Encampment to retreat safely.

However, as for the exact number of Xiongnu casualties from the trampling and burning, This humble general is not clear," She Jian said with a look of regret.

"Not bad," General Meng Tian praised him unreservedly. She Jian was his old General, so he didn't delve into why he got lost.

"What about you, Lin Yue?" General Meng Tian asked.

Lin Yue stepped forward and said, "This humble general, following orders, attacked the Xiongnu Commandant's main Encampment last night, killing over 100,000 enemy troops. Then, together with General Wang Han, we attacked the King of Xihu's main Encampment, killing 200,000 enemy troops. Zhao Yun, under This humble general's command, captured the King of Xihu alive. Both battles were great victories!

However, This humble general also got lost on the way back to the Encampment and entered the Xiongnu heartland. It was just that the Encampment before me was heavily guarded. After learning it was the Right Wise King's Encampment, This humble general led the Army to attack the Encampment.

In this battle, approximately 300,000 Xiongnu defenders were killed, but we were blocked by the Xiongnu heavy cavalry. We had no choice but to withdraw after setting a large fire!"

"Heavy cavalry? How many troops?" General Meng Tian asked.

"There were only about 10,000 heavy cavalry. This humble general exerted tremendous effort to completely annihilate them," Lin Yue said, cupping his hands.

"That should be the Right Wise King's 10,000 personal Guards. You did well. That was the most elite cavalry unit under the Right Wise King. With this heavy cavalry completely wiped out, the Right Wise King's strength will be reduced by thirty percent. Now the Right Wise King is a toothless, sick tiger, no longer a threat," General Meng Tian said with a smile.

"There were three cavalry units in total. What about the last one? Who led it?" Fusu suddenly asked.

"It was This humble general..." Wang Da Tou stepped forward, bracing himself, and replied.

"What were the results of the battle?" Fusu asked with a smile.

"This humble general, following military orders, launched a night raid on the Xiongnu Danghu's main Encampment, killing over 50,000 Xiongnu defenders, and then attacked the King of Xihu's main Encampment together with Lin Yue," Wang Da Tou said in a low voice.

"Oh, that's strange. Both of them got lost. Didn't you get lost?" Fusu asked with a smile.

"Um... This humble general is incompetent, I also got lost..." Wang Da Tou looked a bit ashamed.

"Then what were the results of your battle after getting lost?" Fusu asked with interest.

"Um..." Wang Da Tou's forehead was covered in sweat, unsure how to answer.
