Chapter 1178: Chapter 318: Adding Frost to Snow

The Shaman of Divine Songs didn’t exaggerate in the slightest.

This time, the Fiery Jade territory mobilized two brigades of Summer Palace Guards to assist the regular army in the campaign against the desert bandits. According to the kingdom’s noble tradition of deploying troops, the logistics and supplies for these two thousand-plus men were all paid for by the nobles themselves. Therefore, from the very beginning when he planned to help Helen and Maple Leaf Village avenge their blood feud, Liu Zhenhan had already started early preparations.

The military staff believed that the war in the desert would last at least three months, and when planning the budget for military expenses, Liu Zhenhan followed the general trend and prepared supplies for four months.

The large force of Fiery Jade was not officially deployed until the Yale Oasis campaign, which, invisibly, saved a month of time. Now, almost all of Fiery Jade’s supplies were lying dormant inside Moer’s Seven-degree Gold Rings.

As the desert lacked plants for starting fires, Elder Andulan of the Elves prepared large sacks of Underworld Chalk Ash and double-layered large pottery jars for Liu Zhenhan, utilizing the boiling principle of lime when in contact with water to cook. The wartime food mainly consisted of stir-fried bamboo rice with fat antelope jerky, dried fish strips, and dehydrated vegetables, all of which were easy to cook; just add some water to make a stew. They also had plenty of fodder for the mounts, as well as lots of Slat Banana, tea bricks, cassava wine, and fat antelope milk on hand. These leisure snacks were all kept cool in wooden boxes with Ice Beads.

Ever since the clear lake in Yale Oasis became contaminated with arsenic poisoning, Liu Zhenhan spent three days of rest in the oasis, mobilizing all his subjects to fill tens of thousands of captured mercenary water bottles with water from the Sanggan River, all of which were thrown into the Space Ring. Along with the original two hundred huge iron barrels, there was enough water to last until Kalimantan and even enough to take baths; plus the fruits confiscated from the spoils of war ensured that the supplies were more than sufficient.

This was the so-called magic advantage! Others might be envious but to no avail, as the Dark Elves had only one Seven-degree Gold Crown since ancient times, and it just happened to be in Liu Zhenhan’s hands.

At the moment, Beamon seemed to be at an impasse, but Liu Zhenhan had no problem providing for the five thousand people’s meals for two months!

Right now, Liu Zhenhan was not at all in a hurry to leave; he wanted the Mulanese to truly experience the extent of his might!

He now regretted why he only brought five hundred oil melons; he should have used the entire Life Spring to create another five hundred oil melons to bring with him!

That night, all Beamon warriors who had escaped from the ant swarm, after the treatment of the Mantis Monks and Prairie Elf priests, finally calmed down after enjoying a sumptuous feast.

There was a lot to handle after a victory, and the same was true after a defeat. Liu Zhenhan was preoccupied with the skeleton of the Earth Element Giant Dragon. Although the ants were unappreciative, Liu Zhenhan sent Duncan, the little Giant Iverson, and Master Otigha with a few members of the air force on a mission. They indiscriminately scattered several "meteorites" around, forcing a few Cicada People to fly down and tie them up with ropes, and amidst a lot of dragging and hauling, they managed to bring back the skeleton of the Giant Dragon.

Apart from being concerned about the Dragon Ball and Dragon Crystal, Liu Zhenhan also wanted to extract a bit of Blood Magic power from the dragon’s blood. The wonderful thing about Blood Magic was that as long as it was an entity he personally slayed, even a dab of fresh blood could be used to extract power. And a Giant Dragon, what a great opportunity! Only an idiot struck by lightning would pass up such a chance.

Unfortunately, as for the Dragon Ball extracted from the dragon’s jaw, what kind of Origin power it contained and what miraculous effects it had, Liu Zhenhan had no idea. He would have to meet Master Puskas or Elder Andulan to find the answer.

Prince Kahn also kept busy, leading his staff officers to compile the most detailed statistics on casualties.

This battle was arguably the most disastrous one for the Bimon Kingdom since the Heigar campaign, with the heaviest casualties suffered by the "Mig Troop" of the Southeast Province. All the members of the five Wolf Rider brigades were killed in action, from General Golden Wolf Gutti to the lowest-ranking soldier "Scabby Jack," leaving not even their corpses behind.

The "Turun Troop" of the Northeast Province fared the second worst, with only two hundred sixty-seven survivors remaining. The Turun Troop’s position was unfavorable; the complete Warted Pig Reeve Brigade on the rightmost side of the right flank was annihilated; the Prisoner Charge Group at the forefront was obliterated, ten supervising Zebra Constables all died in action; the Warted Pig Infantry Brigade, which formed the central formation, barely escaped with a few survivors, among them, one accompanying priest, three Orephin officers returned, and General Reyes miraculously survived, saving one side of the battle flag.

The "With Dragon Horn Strength Troop" from the Southern Province also suffered a bitter blow. The Burl Brigade alongside the Haus Bow and Arrow Brigade collectively had four hundred twenty-three survivors remaining, with one hundred twenty-one Taurens, two hundred eighty-seven Haus archers, thirteen Pier officers, and two accompanying priests. General Kaiman was mauled beyond recognition by the frenzied ants; his personal guards had to carry him back to the ancient city ruins by hand, and he remained unconscious to this day. Both brigade battle flags were lost.

The situation for the "Whip of the War God" was slightly better. Since most of the Imperial Guard soldiers were in the central position in the army, they enjoyed a slight advantage. The ace was still the ace, and despite the heavy casualties, most of the Imperial Guard flags remained intact; the most precious Sacred Altar Sacrificial Ceremony, Prairie Elf Magician, and Elves priest suffered no losses. However, the three Wolf Rider brigades were permanently erased from the Imperial Guard’s roster, one of which was an honored brigade bestowed with the "Light of the Holy Mountain" banner during the Heigar campaign. Now, this supreme honor had been forever taken away by the damn ants!
