Chapter 2672 Giving You a Huge Merit
It's a pity, otherwise the Nine Nether Emperor could have devised a better strategy and weakened the Heavenly Demon's power in the mortal realm much faster.
He Lingchuan gazed at the deep darkness outside and sighed softly:
"Being indecisive is a great taboo for a king."
Seeking peace through compromise will only lead to its demise.
He didn't know if the Demon Emperor would ever have the chance to understand the essence of that statement.

Neither of the two vanguard forces managed to capture Fulugou, and Bekah lost a valuable early advantage.
When Fu Shanlie's army arrived, they could only camp in a town thirty miles south of Fulugou. The terrain there was unsuitable for serving as a bridgehead for attacking Panlong Wasteland.
If we don't get off to a good start, it will be very difficult to advance this war.
Upon seeing the head of the Crown Prince of Bolang Kingdom, which was being returned by the prisoners, Fu Shanlie was filled with rage and slammed his fist on the table.
Crack! The table shattered into pieces.
Tiger Wing has been asleep for five years, five years!
The Panbei War had been going on for a year and a half. Why was it that everyone else was doing well in leading troops into battle, but when it came time for him to seize another opportunity and prepare to make a name for himself, the man surnamed He suddenly opened his eyes?
Years ago, he infiltrated Takikawa and launched a surprise attack on Yuheng City. Everything was going smoothly until He Lingchuan, the then commander of Yuheng City, intervened and thwarted his desperate attempt to seize Yuheng City.
He had made a solemn pledge, so after this defeat, he was to be punished upon returning to Lingxu City. Fortunately, someone pleaded for him, and the Emperor valued him, so the punishment was reduced.
However, while he was spared punishment, his path to promotion was cut off.
After that failure, Fu Shanlie was sidelined for five years before he re-emerged based on his own hard work, but his promotions were incredibly slow.
This time, he was entrusted with a critical mission, and he was tasked with opening up a third front. And to his surprise, he ran into He Lingchuan again!
Why won't the god of fate favor him even once?
Fushanlie rubbed his temples. Sigh, the god of fate, Narakuten, seems to belong to the Kshatriya realm, not the Lingxu sect. Perhaps he doesn't want to favor a general like him?
Just then, a messenger entered from outside the tent, presenting a command arrow with both hands:
"Report! News from the enemy."
Fu Shanlie's trusted personal guard stepped forward, took the note from the command arrow, glanced at it quickly, and then presented it to him:
"General, look."
The note contained only a few words, which Fu Shanlie read in two breaths, but his gaze lingered on the signature for a long time:
Tiger wings.
General Tiger Wing invited him to meet at Sunset Hill in an hour to catch up.
Fu Shanlie grinned, wondering what this guy was up to now.
If the two sides are enemies when they meet, what is there to reminisce about?
……
Nevertheless, the two commanders still met at Sunset Hill.
Sunset Hill is located in the middle of the woodland. It is a bare little hill with a relatively open area around it.
Of course, it is also very close to the front line where the two armies are facing off.
Fu Shanlie arrived at Sunset Ridge with over a hundred personal guards and saw that the opposite side seemed to have about the same number of people.
Under the jujube tree was a square table, where General Tiger Wing was sitting perfectly still. He didn't rise when he saw him arrive, but simply raised his hand in a gesture of respect.
"You're here? Have a seat."
He acted like he knew everyone.
Fu Shanlie sized him up and saw that his appearance seemed to have changed little compared to back then, but his demeanor was more composed and experienced.
He also sat down at the table, looking perfectly composed.
The two locked eyes.
He Lingchuan's gaze fell on Fu Shanlie's right arm, and he smiled slightly.
This single action made Fu Shanlie curl his lip in disapproval.
Years ago, when He Lingchuan was escorting Lu Xun to Yuheng City, Fu Shanlie ambushed them in the river. Unexpectedly, Lu Xun's right arm was severed by a magical artifact, and the attack failed.
As a living corpse, the Ba has an astonishing self-healing ability; this little injury has long since healed.
However, this past event also reminded Fu Shanlie that the person in front of him had been opposing him for a long time and was still alive and kicking. It was truly a case of God being blind.
He leaned back in his chair: "What did you want to see me about?"
Both of them ordered their guards to retreat more than ten feet away, without prior arrangement.
They were all highly skilled cultivators, and none of them were afraid of the other launching a sneak attack.
He Lingchuan raised his hand, picked up the silver pot, and poured two cups of wine:
"After so long, shouldn't we have a good chat?"
This small hill, situated between two menacing armies, was a place where everyone who came here was on high alert, ready to draw their swords at the slightest sign of trouble. However, the rustling mountain wind and the gurgling sound of wine being poured created an unusually calm atmosphere at this moment.
Fu Shanlie's mind calmed down as well. He had to admit that Hu Yi was really good at controlling the situation. If he wanted to be quiet, the environment would become quiet as well.
He crossed his arms and put his legs up: "What do you want to talk about?"
He Lingchuan's words were always so hurtful:
"Over the years, I thought that with your background and abilities, you should at least have become the leader of the Panglong Guard. Many of the military officers in Lingxu City are rotten to the core, and their true colors are revealed once they enter the battlefield. They are all inferior to you, so how come they are all ranked above you?"
The Lingxu Royal Palace is located on Tianxin Island, the highest floating island, and Panglong Guard is responsible for the security of Tianxin Island.
Although the royal palace has its own guards, those assigned to garrison Tianxin Island must be among the Demon Emperor's most trusted confidants. After all, the floating island has a unique terrain; once the teleportation array is shut down, the upper and lower levels will be disconnected, and Tianxin Island will become an isolated island.
Therefore, although the position of commander of Panglong Guard was not a high-ranking official, military officers would fight tooth and nail for it, and even if he were reassigned later, he would only rise higher and higher. There was also a strict requirement for becoming the commander of this guard: one must be of commoner origin and have a clean and transparent promotion path.
Therefore, the children of the Heavenly Palace, nobles, and officials are basically out of luck.
Looking at it from all angles, this position seemed to be specially prepared for someone like Fu Shanlie, but he failed to get it.
Seeing He Lingchuan's self-righteousness, Fu Shanlie rolled his eyes at him on the spot: "Isn't this all thanks to you?"
Back then, he was a rising star within the Bega team. If he hadn't met He Lingchuan, he would have soared to great heights long ago.
This guy seems to have sucked all his luck away. In the years after leaving Takikawa, he had bad luck every year. Even the most unrelated and trivial things would somehow happen to him. Wouldn't that delay his promotion and salary increase?
"Don't blame me." He Lingchuan quickly waved his hand, "The past five years have nothing to do with me."
It's your own fault for not being good enough.
Fu Shanlie's face darkened: "Get to the point."
No matter how playful the person sitting opposite you is, he is still Bega's enemy.
The main event of the day is here. He Lingchuan rubbed his neck and made two cracking sounds: "However, I can make you rise to the top right now, so you won't have to slowly waste your military merits on the front lines and be commanded haphazardly by those mediocre people who are far inferior to you."
Fu Shanlie gave a half-smile: "You'd be that kind?"
He knew from their last encounter that General Tiger Wing was different from others; he had a lot of clever ideas, and they were effective.
He Lingchuan didn't waste any time and slammed a note heavily on the table: "I'm giving you a huge credit."
