Chapter 376: Interrogation!

It was extremely difficult to earn Destiny Energy, Wang Chong had personal experience with this.

He had to change the flow of destiny for a major event to earn Destiny Energy.

He didn't expect that by joining the third mission, not only would he be able to earn the reward from the Bureau of Military Personnel and upgrade his Bane of the Battlefield, he would even obtain a total of four Destiny Energy!

With this, he had a current combined total of 79 Destiny Energy.

More importantly, he noted that the death of first Tibetan cavalryman had earned him a bonus of 1 Destiny Energy.

”... In other words, I will be able to earn Destiny Energy for the first kill of the soldiers of other nations as well!” Wang Chong's eyes lit up as he realized a new way he could earn additional Destiny Energy. If he were to find himself in dire need of Destiny Energy someday, this could possibly save his life.

The fight swiftly came to an end, after which came the looting of the battlefield. The foot of the mountain was littered with corpses and carcasses.

Dressed in heavy armor and devoid of any geographical terrain they could exploit in the region, it was impossible for the Tibetan highland steeds to outrun the Great Tang war steeds. As such, not a single one of the three hundred or so Tibetan cavalrymen managed to get away.

However, it was a pity that Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield had only two hundred or so Tibetan cavalrymen added to his kills. This was due to a portion of the enemy forces being killed by the other army of eight hundred, which Wang Chong wasn't the commander of. This was something that couldn't be helped.

Eventually, the total number of kills came to a halt at 1861, leaving him around a hundred kills off from reaching 2000, where his halo could be upgraded to level two.

”Such a pity. It seems like I can only wait for the next opportunity to level up my halo!” Wang Chong sighed in pity.

Once the Bane of the Battlefield reached level two, it would gain the ability to dispel the halo of a True Martial realm 2-dan martial artist. But until then, Wang Chong was stuck with what he had at the moment.

After the end of the battle, a bizarre atmosphere began to envelop the battlefield.

Eyes were slowly gathering on Wang Chong and the other ”deserters”, and admiration could be seen reflected in their gazes. This was especially so for the recruits who had participated in this battle multiple times.

They understood clearly that had it not been for Wang Chong's sudden appearance, they would have definitely fallen in defeat.

Without the protection of the tower shields, there was no way anyone could stand against those furiously charging Tibetan cavalrymen.

”Incredible! When did they lie in ambush there?”

”What a bizarre maneuver! Over the years that I have been in the army, I have never seen a thing like this before!”

”Was this arranged by our commander?”

”Impossible! At that moment the Tibetan cavalrymen breached our frontlines, I could see that even our commander had panicked!”

”I heard that they are deserters!”

”Are you insane? If they are deserters, what would they be doing here now?”

”Are you saying that they had disobeyed commands and moved on their own accord?”...

Many of the troops whispered curiously amidst themselves.

”Hahaha, it seems like we have made a name for ourselves this time around!” Seeing the gazes of admiration centered on them, Huang Yongtu laughed heartily in delight.

This was the first time he had been on a battlefield, as well as the first time he had crushed his enemies so utterly. Thus, he couldn't help but feel a surge of exhilaration.

”Wang Chong, you have my deepest respect. I never thought that we would be able to crush them so easily.”

”Indeed, this is inconceivable!” Xu Gan chirped in by the side as he gazed somberly upon the corpses of the Tibetan cavalrymen around him.

When the Tibetans had charged down from the peak of the mountain, the momentum they had built up was so overwhelming that it felt like an avalanche.

Even from afar, they couldn't help but feel apprehensive of the other party's force.

Yet, they succeeded in crushing that powerful force with minimal casualties!

All of this was thanks to Wang Chong's wise commanding!

With such thoughts in mind, the awe in Xu Gan's eyes deepened. As the saying went, ”the best way to know someone is through a fight”. Even though they had started off on the wrong foot, all of the grudges and hostility were eventually resolved, leaving behind only respect and admiration.

On the other hand, Bai Siling and Zhao Yatong were shooting glances at Wang Chong from time to time as they conversed privately with one another. It was impossible to tell what they were talking about, but at a certain point, they suddenly chuckled lightly, and those momentary smiles on their beautiful faces left the crowd bewitched.

Di da da!

At this moment, the flurried clopping of horse hooves suddenly rose.

”Gongzi, the commander invites you over!” Pulling on the reins of his steed, a soldier stopped before Wang Chong and relayed the commands nonchalantly.

In that instant, the loud commotion in the area suddenly silenced as everyone turned their sights over.
