Chapter 810: Chapter 12: Cultivation Everywhere in Life Now Wei Yihao brought up the question again, making Chen Fei realize that he might have oversimplified things. “If it’s only the Savage Killing Army, no matter how we break through, the final outcome is bound to be encirclement by the main army, trapped inside!” Wei Yihao stated confidently, “So this operation will involve the entire Northern Border Army!” Chen Fei suddenly understood: “We are responsible for attracting the main forces of the Northern Barbarians, tearing open their defenses for the Savage Killing Army, creating an opportunity to assassinate the king?” Wei Yihao nodded and laughed: “That’s certainly the plan! So our Green Frost Army has the chance to make significant contributions. That Marquis Jing’an is a mere fledgling who’s never been on the battlefield, bringing three thousand new recruits who’ve also never seen battle; how can they compare with our Green Frost Army’s contributions?” Chen Fei found Wei Yihao’s words quite reasonable. Whether the Savage Killing Army succeeds depends on the Imperial Camp Army and those Great Grandmasters within the squad. As for Li Fei, he is indeed skilled, but in battles of this scale, even a Martial Saint may not have a greater impact than the Green Frost Army! Inside the training camp recommended by the Blue Patrol Pavilion for over three thousand Martial Artists. Li Fei lived in a simple wooden hut. There was another person in the room, coming from Datong Prefecture, a Martial Artist recommended by Green-faced Manor named Gong Ze, considered an insider. “…Those three hundred military officers all belong to different factions, sent by various strongholds within the Northern Border Army. Before you came, Marquis, these three thousand people had likely been ‘divided’ by the Northern Border Army.” Gong Ze shared his observations from the Northern Territory with Li Fei: “…. We train daily, mostly focusing on rapid marches through the jungle. Besides that, we have courses on how to deal with poisonous insects, toxic substances, and potentially encountering Exotic Beasts and related topics.” “… The Northern Border Army is quite generous; cultivation elixirs we need are given upon joining, and another batch is provided during the month-long training. The previous chief instructor, whom you defeated, Marquis, said that good performance could earn extra elixirs.” “… Most of us are here in the Northern Territory to take a gamble. Before departure, our sects or clans bestowed benefits, and upon joining the Border Army, the Blue Patrol Pavilion promised more benefits, alongside those from the Border Army, making everyone willing to come.” “…. Some came for the cultivation resources, others just to earn money. I know an elder brother, forty-five years old, a martial master at the Qi Change Stage, with four children in local Martial Arts Halls. Supporting four children in martial arts costs too much, so he came to the Northern Territory risking his life, simply to earn money for his kids’ martial arts training.” After listening to Gong Ze’s account, Li Fei called several people into his cabin to ask questions. In addition, some individuals took the initiative to seek out Li Fei, pledging their loyalty. Throughout the night, Li Fei engaged in conversations and queries with different people. By early morning the next day, he stopped to organize what he had gathered over the night. Now he was certain about one thing: These over three thousand Martial Artists were entrusted to him by the Emperor for command, but only for the upcoming war. Whether these individuals could become the foundation of his military presence after the war would depend on his actions moving forward. The source of this content ɪs novęlfire.net In the following days, Li Fei remained in the camp. Though Chen Fei, the chief instructor, had left, the three hundred military officers remained, so organizing training continued without issue. Li Fei only needed to supervise their training. Five days later, he encountered a new problem. “What do you mean there’s no elixirs?” Li Fei asked a military officer before him. The person hurriedly replied, “Marquis, the supply office responded like that, saying the stock is tight, that the elixirs we need are temporarily unavailable and we need to wait.” Li Fei squinted: “Did the supply office say how long we need to wait?” The officer shook his head: “They didn’t say.” For Martial Artists, whether in cultivation or training, activating the Implant is essential. And the Implant requires substantial energy intake, absorbing slowly and inefficiently if relying solely on normal food intake. Thus, elixirs to supplement energy for the Implant are indispensable. Over three thousand Martial Artists undergoing intense, high-load training daily demand a sizable amount of elixirs. Previously, the supply office dispatched batches of elixirs every week. Yesterday, Li Fei was informed that the camp’s training elixirs were nearly exhausted, yet the supply office did not deliver on schedule. Li Fei thus sent people to inquire at the supply office in Shaman City today. The response received was that the stock was tight, and the elixirs were temporarily unavailable. Things were fine when Chen Fei was here; right after he arrived, the stock grew tight. Anyone could sense something fishy! However, Li Fei did not get angry either. The Imperial Decree only instructed him to command these over three thousand Martial Artists. Whether it’s about the added three hundred military officers responsible for training and command or the training elixirs, or the weapons, ammunition, armors, and other essentials needed later. These all fall under ‘additional content.’ How, when, and how much the Northern Border Army provides, along with the quality, are decided autonomously by the Border Army. Simply put, if Li Fei cannot resolve these issues, it indicates he lacks the ability to command these over three thousand people! Commanding troops is never just about considering warfare. The Emperor granted him command over three thousand Martial Artists. This is significant power, and perhaps also the ultimate test.
