Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master-Chapter 665 - 197: The Truth Behind the Game_3

Liu Er frowned: “The Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain is the inevitable rescue place for the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King’s temple. Commander Du intends to lure the enemy here for a second major battle.”

“No wonder he spent such a huge amount of resources here to build such a strong camp. Even now, there are still cultivators constantly working.”

Ning Zhuo added: “Therefore, before the second major battle, the scope of our army’s attacks will also be limited.”

“There are not many targets around that can be attacked.”

Zhao Xi laughed heartily: “This is all your own understanding; I didn’t say anything. So, I’ll take my leave now.”

Ning Zhuo and Liu Er both stood up and followed Zhao Xi, respectfully seeing him off from the camp.

At farewell, Zhao Xi transmitted thoughts to Ning Zhuo through Divine Sense: “By the way, can you perform a divination for the second major battle?”

Ning Zhuo’s previous Omen Poem was very accurate, making Zhao Xi remember it frequently.

Ning Zhuo immediately smiled bitterly: “My ability to divine is only effective when I feel something in my heart. Otherwise, I am totally powerless. I hope you understand, my lord!”

“Then forget it.” Zhao Xi rode off on his tall horse and left directly.

Liu Er watched Zhao Xi’s departing figure while transmitting thoughts through Divine Sense to Ning Zhuo, thanking him for introducing Zhao Xi to him this time.

Ning Zhuo responded in secret: “It was also by chance. Zhao Xi wanted to gain military merits, so he came to the frontline camp despite the risks.”

“As a newcomer, he has to establish his authority; as the saying goes, a new official burns three fires.”

“Our situation fitted his needs perfectly, which is why the cooperation was achieved.”

Liu Er sighed: “That is true, but without the counselor’s connection and the Mechanical Artifacts, how could such an achievement be possible?”

With this close relationship with Zhao Xi, Liu Er, an outsider, has now established a foothold in the court of Liangzhu Country.

This is a very significant breakthrough!

Liu Er was taught by his master from a young age, with notable political talent, making him understand that he is the biggest beneficiary in this situation.

So, he reciprocated by promising to Ning Zhuo: “Counselor, regardless of the value of the Treasure Talismans from the Three Arrays, I am willing to offer my military merits to you. If it’s not enough, I will personally persuade the two virtuous brothers to do their best to fulfill your wishes!”

Ning Zhuo smiled, without refusing, and only responded with one word: “Good.”

Currently, the results of cleaning up the battlefield have been converted into military merits, all attributed to Liu Er alone.

After all, he is the Main General of the Three Generals Camp.

Ning Zhuo does not want to partake in such spotlight-grabbing and jealousy-inducing matters.

According to the prior agreement between Ning Zhuo and the three generals, thirty percent of these military merits belong to him.

However, to elevate Liu Er to the top of the list, they did not distribute it among themselves for the time being.

The top position can greatly enhance the reputation of the Three Generals Camp, making it easier to rally the remaining soldiers.

This is yet another consideration.
