Chapter 542: Chapter 254: Two Million War Merit, Making a Fortune (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Xu Shuai is indeed a talent worthy of being the main commander."
In the formation, Qin Zhenjiang recalled the battle just now, unable to hold back a sigh on his face.
"No wonder even Commander Wang is so courteous to him. Now it seems, even Commander Wang’s ability to command might not surpass Xu Shuai."
The ability to command is heavily reliant on talent.
Some people reach high realms, but their ability to command remains weak.
Someone like Xu Zhou, with a Sixth Grade cultivation commanding 15,000 troops, is truly terrifying in his talent for leadership.
At this moment, Qin Zhenjiang completely put away his sense of superiority at the high grade, looking at Xu Zhou with growing respect.
Xu Zhou naturally didn’t know that someone had once again changed their opinion about him.
As Xu Zhou was leading his troops forward, he was pondering over the gains from the recent battle in his heart.
"According to war merit standards, killing a Seventh Grade earns you 100,000 war merits; killing a Sixth Grade earns you 10,000 war merits; Fifth Grade, 1,000 war merits."
"Moreover, this time, the war merits are calculated at a triple rate."
"The total war merit from the recent battle is about 15 million."
Xu Zhou calculated: "But now, with me commanding 15,000 people, I can only get one-thirtieth of the war merits."
The more troops you command, the lower the proportion of war merits allocated to the commander is naturally.
With 4,000 troops, the commander can get one-tenth.
With 8,000 troops, the commander can get one-twentieth.
With 15,000 troops, the commander can get one-thirtieth.
"Which means, from that battle alone, I can earn nearly 500,000 war merits by myself!"
Xu Zhou couldn’t help but be shocked in his mind.
500,000 war merits, is that all it takes to earn?
Truly deserving of triple war merits!
Without the triple calculation, he would only have earned a little over 100,000 war merits from that battle.
"This time, with the 500,000 earned added to the previous hundreds of thousands, my current war merit balance should have exceeded 700,000."
Because the war merits are uniformly calculated after the battle, Xu Zhou couldn’t see the specific war merits now.
However...
To others, 700,000 war merits might seem a lot, but for Xu Zhou, it was far from enough.
"To form an Immortal Golden Core, I’m afraid it would take several million war merits."
"A mere 700,000 war merits, still far from enough!"
"This opportunity, I must seize."
Xu Zhou gazed into the distance, seemingly seeing the silhouette of another Earth Star Army.
His eyes glinted with sharpness; to him, these Earth Star armies were simply walking war merits!
"800 li ahead, suspected Earth Star Army."
Xu Zhou shouted solemnly: "All troops, stay alert!"
"Yes!"
The entire 23rd Brigade shuddered slightly, and the battle formation quickly operated.
...
li distance was but a moment’s matter for the 23rd Brigade.
Soon, the distance between the two sides rapidly shortened.
And Xu Zhou finally confirmed the enemy’s lineup: "A formation of 7,000?"
Upon confirming the enemy’s lineup, Zhong Qiang couldn’t help but become excited.
Since crossing the 38th Parallel, they had encountered either 3,000 or 4,000 troops, earning barely any war merits.
Finally, they encountered a large army formation of 7,000!
Xu Zhou similarly brightened with excitement: "7,000, that equals 700,000 war merits!"
"Kill!"
At this time, the 23rd Brigade maintained a strong offensive formation. Xu Zhou, without hesitation, pointed forward, and a 30,000-meter long blade slashed towards the Earth Star Army in front of them.
There was no doubt that another crushing battle was coming.
...
While Xu Zhou was crazily collecting war merits.
To their west, over 4,000 li away.
An Earth Star battle formation of over 10,000 was fiercely fighting with a Blue Star Division.
To call it fierce was inaccurate; it was more of a one-sided crush by the Earth Star battle formation.
Above the Earth Star battle formation, a man in a gorgeous brocade robe and a black-gold feather crown waved his hand.
Immediately, a gigantic palm descended from the sky, slapping several hundred Blue Star Martial Artists to death in one strike.
"A bunch of chickens and dogs."
The black-gold feathered crown man’s expression was indifferent, and his god-like gaze examined below with a trace of boredom: "Killing these people is as easy as slaughtering livestock, truly boring."
Saying this, he seemed somewhat tired of the battle.
He immediately reached out to grab.
"Boom!"
The terrifying energy wave gathered into a massive palm, tearing apart the defenses of the Blue Star Formation.
Then, it grabbed the main commander of the Blue Star Formation, pulling them before the feather crown man.
"Boom!"
The Blue Star Formation was shaken when they saw their commander captured, and their morale trembled.
The Blue Star Commander struggled desperately, yet couldn’t break free, glaring at the feather crown man with bloodshot eyes.
The feather crown man chuckled lightly: "So you are the commander of the 201st Division of Blue Star? Seventh Grade Middle Stage cultivation, I see no difference from the livestock in my household."
Facing such insult, the 201st Commander only glared at him angrily.
"Puh!"
He spat fiercely, but unfortunately couldn’t reach the feather crown man’s face.
This action, however, seemed to pique the feather crown man’s interest, smiling as he said: "Calling you livestock is flattering you. You should know, not anyone can be considered the livestock of my household."
The 201st Commander’s body trembled, angrily shouting: "My Blue Star army will flatten Earth Star eventually!"
"Earth Star?"
Hearing this, the feather crown man’s expression calmed: "I forgot to tell you, I’m from the Dark Realm, Illusion Moon Royal Family, my name——Ye Hong!"
"Dark Realm?"
The 201st Commander’s expression shifted slightly, finally showing a hint of fear in his eyes.
He didn’t fear for his own safety, but for the other Vanguard Army also on this battlefield.
