Sun Zheng and the other's choice to surrender made the battles after that much easier.
The 36th Army was originally a meat army, their soldiers had low standards, and when Shi Sen was in control in the past, the daily training was much more intense, Sun Zheng had completely devastated the army after taking control. Their will to fight was extremely weak, adding that there was both Sun Zheng and Shi Sen present, all of them decided to surrender.
The Shang Continent did not suffer from much damage, causing Wang Zhun Xian and the rest to finally be able to relax.
But everyone knew that the movements this time were too big, and that the Vast Star Continent would definitely not leave it to rest. The incoming battles would definitely be intense, and thus everyone was worried. Worry begets worries, but at this point of time, there was no place to retreat to. The conscripted citizens, were all returned back to their places, now that the 8th Army was destroyed, for Vast Star Continent to want to destroy the Shang Continent was not weird.
All of the citizens of the Red Grass Planet understood that point, so some of them chose to leave, while others chose to stay, and these people were allocated to stay inside the Black Castle. Fortunately, the Black Castle was set up to be big, and they were able to settle these people down.
Instead of being extremely worried, Bing, the old fox, was extremely excited.
Upon thinking about operating and being in control of the territory, his head would swell, and he was most unafraid of fighting.
A weak army? No problem, a weak army had their own methods of fighting. No one knew the ins and outs of fighting wars better than him, as it was his most proficient subject.
He had already started to expand and prepare for war when he saw the 36th Army, he blinked twice, then took two people and left. The two were recommended by Shi Sen, their potential was good, and were upright and honest, they were not well liked by Sun Zheng, and after Bing tested them, he felt that they were right.
If it was the Precious Bright Village Regiment, although the members were ordinary, they were diligent and trained daily, and their attitude was also proper.
That was the only merit.
"This is shit! This type of training is shit!"
Bing scolded mercilessly. In front of him, Wang Zhun Xian, Shi Yong and the rest had their heads lowered like students. They were not angry at all, Master Bing was such a high level military general, to able to receive his criticism, it was their greatest honor.
Bing was left with no choice, he realized that when he talked to them nicely, their faces would be uncomfortable and terrified, but when he scolded them, their expressions would be comfortable and good.
He mocked them in his heart, what kind of revolting behavior was this!
But to him, their training plan was truly of amateur hour, although Wang Zhun Xian was diligent, but his standard was truly lacking. Alright, being diligent is enough, that was enough to be responsible for training, if it were those simple fools who were in charge of training, then he would have to pull them out, and Bing would truly be driven mad.
"From today onwards, all of the training content will be removed, and they will only train in one thing, synchronization! I only want them to be synchronized, and a 50% synchronization rate is the lowest! From today onwards, you all better train to the death!"
Bing waved his hand, speaking with killing intent. 32% synchronization rate, is this a joke?
"Yes!"
"We will train to the death!"
"Whatever Master says, we will follow!"
Everyone started talking excitedly, causing Bing to have the impulse to facepalm himself, they truly were a mob. But Bing was overly demanding, so he impatiently waved his hand: "Go! You will all begin now!"
The group of people scattered like birds.
Bing decided to find Crazy Tang to discuss about their next plan, and just when he stepped out of the room, he heard Crazy Tang's shouts.
"I have no money! I told you that I have no money!" Tang Tian was pissed off, the group of unclear and confused people were so vexing!
"Master, this does not require much money, the current market price of the Underworld Continent's Demonic Mounts is not high and is very cheap, with 2 million Cloud Coins, you will definitely be able to hire one. Your subordinate knows where to find the real Demonic Mounts. We only need to hire 60 more, no, 50 more, 30 is also possible, and after integrating, our fighting strength…." Shi Sen persuaded persistently.
After the battle, it could be said that he was trying to gain some favour for the Demonic Mounts. But very quickly, he calmed down from the excitement from the victory. The ruckus created from the death of Sun Jie and the destruction of the 8th Army for Vast Star Continent.
The power of Vast Star Continent was not something the Shan Continent could ever hope to defend against.
At the very start, he had advised the Master to leave the Shang Continent, to temporarily avoid the danger, was the most logical choice. In the Southern Region, there were a few continents that were comparable to the Vast Star Continent.
His suggestion was put down by the Master without hesitation.
In truth, he did not find it weird, Master had constructed the Black Castle, and that itself was already a clue.
Since war was inevitable, then they had to look for ways to increase his own strength, and he believed in Master Meng Nan, because he understood in the power of money.
With the origin mark boxes that had laws in mind, along with the Blue Dwarves strongest weapon, the Empyrean Ice Tree Spears, Shi Sen believed that Master Meng Nan was wealthy, and even the Vast Star Continent that was known for their businesses was unable to compare to him. But, wasn’t the Savage Continent known for their desolate and barren lands? Seems like the information was wrong.
If they could replenish their ranks with a few additional Demonic Mounts, adding the super quality of equipment, Shi Sen believed that they would be sufficiently prepped for the incoming war.
He felt that his suggestions would definitely succeed, in the current market, it was difficult to distinguish between the real and fake underworld Continent's Demonic Mounts, with the problem of their prestige, their value had dropped substantially. To Master Meng Nan who was such a wealthy tyrant, spending for the additional Demonic Mounts was still not comparable to the equipment on their bodies.
But he had never expected at all, that his Master would actually say he had no money!
When he heard those words, Shi Sen almost vomited blood. He stared at Tang Tian in shock, and even thought that he had heard wrong.
No money…..
Tang Tian was unhappy that Shi Sen was staring at him, and reinforced his statement of having no money. All of you are so annoying, this young lad is already worrying the matter about money ok? After half a day, I still have nothing ! Hey. What’re you trying to show me that face for?
You want to fight? I've had enough!
Honest people were blind to a fault, and Shi Sen was completely lost. No Money? How can Master be ever connected with those two words? How can Master actually say out those two words? Master, are you truly not joking? Why did your face become so angry and distorted?
Shi Sen did his best to take a deep breath, then said earnestly: "Master, If you have an opinion of me, Please tell it to me! Please do not use such words to confuse this subordinate, it is truly hurtful!"
Tang Tian scratched the air with his fingers, his eyes were rolled so far back and his mouth pouted almost to the ground, he felt as if he was going crazy….
Calm down, I need to calm down!
Tang Tian clenched his teeth: "What do you want me to do to prove that I have no money?"
"Master cannot prove that ever." Shi Sen had a "I am calm, can you be calm too" expression.
Tang Tian was completely speechless, he stared at Shi Sen, and did not know what to say.
"The Empyrean Ice Tree Spears are weapons that are extremely valuable, for Master to be able to take out a bunch of them, it is impossible that you have no money." Shi Sen gave his constructive opinion.
"Wait, you're saying that is very valuable?" Tang Tian suddenly asked.
"Extremely valuable!" Shi Sen replied.
"Really?" Tang Tian asked again.
"Definitely!" Shi Sen remained persistent as steel.
Tang Tian was already lazy to speak, bang, he threw out a bunch of Empyrean Ice Tree Branches that were half his height. Bang, he threw out another bunch, half his height.
Bang bang bang…..
Pile after Pile of Empyrean Ice Tree Branches that were half his height, forming a small hill.
Tang Tian looked at Shi Sen, and asked with disbelief: "You're sure that they are valuable?'
If they truly were valuable, then the problem with money would be quickly resolved, as he could instantly sell the branches. To Tang Tian, they were just bunches of branches, and were no different from firewood.
Yesterday, the bunch of Empyrean Ice Tree Spears had shocked Shi Sen, he spent the entire night calming himself down, and he thought he would not lose himself like yesterday, but the truth would actually be so cruel….
It was too cruel!
The scene in front of him was like a dream, it was to the point that Shi Sen knew that even in his dream, such a scene can never happen.
After standing for a few minutes, Shi Sen turned his head like a robot, revealing an expression that was uglier than crying: "Master, now I am not so sure, whether or not it is valuable."
The Empyrean ice Tree Spears, to Shi Sen, they were practically divine weapons. Such divine weapons were extremely difficult to even obtain, and to have a bunch…..or even 10 bunches…..
Shi Sen thought he was wrong, the things in front of him were not Empyrean Ice Tree Spears, but just that they looked alike, and that would be the logical reasoning.
I already told you, how are these valuable? From the start, Tang Tian did not believe that they were valuable. The blue sea of light had so many Empyrean Ice Tree Branches, to the point that it would cause people to be angered, how could these revolting cheap stuff ever be valuable….
Tang Tian who felt that he had already proven that he had no money felt extremely pleased, you have to know, to be able to convince a group of messed up fellows, the difficulty was far higher than fighting in a war.
Tang Tian who had become victorious was naturally happy.
He patted Shi Sen's shoulder and consoled him: "Don't be sad, we are still in the beginning phase, although we are poor now, but we will become better in the future."
Shi Sen's expression became uglier than him crying.
Tang Tian's mind was filled with empathy, when any person's dream of becoming rich shatters, they would appear like that.
This is life, Uncle, Tang Tian sighed, but left happily.
Bing who had appeared and witnessed the scene was also filled with sympathy towards Shi Sen.
He pondered about their problem on money, which had to be resolved soon. He walked towards Shi Sen and said: "Why not, you bring a few of them out to be sold, see what can be sold, for example, the Black Wind Blades, we have a lot of those. You are experienced enough, since you are not much in numbers, aim small, be quick and flexible and call for good prices. Actually, running errands is not supposed to be done by you, but now that you've seen our limited manpower, I can only rely on you. But you have to be fast, I reckon that the response from the Vast Star Continent will occur soon!"
Shi Sen had already awoken from his sense of loss, he was used to being poor, to suddenly becoming rich made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Now that he was back to the start, he now had an unspeakable burden on his shoulders.
A man is never content, but our current situation is definitely much better than our past. Evening Snow Ocean, Black Wind Blade, adding on our winged armors, Origin Mark Boxes, Bogus Empyrean Ice Tree Spears and all, all of these are things I never thought we could have.
And Master's trust in us, is the true precious thing.
Shi Sen nodded his head and replied: "Once the goods are prepared, we will depart immediately."
