Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Li Mingshu Wants to Give a Gift
Everyone adjusted to the environment here, then came out to check the spoils of war.
"Lord said, all these useless items are left for you. You can handle them yourselves after an inventory is taken, and not until the inventory is complete," Cosette pointed to the items on the ground.
Fang Jie could do without, but taking inventory was necessary, as every major power needed its own set of rules.
Li Mingshu nodded slightly. Even if Fang Jie hadn’t mentioned it, he would have.
With so many items, there was enough for the early development of his own town, even pulling together a troop was no problem.
"Report, the human nations of the North have already established a defensive line at Qing River, should we attack them?" A hero, carrying a large amount of supplies and captives, came forward and immediately reported.
Cosette shook his head, "Don’t touch them for now, wait for the Lord’s orders."
This lack of initiative, although sufficiently loyal, made Li Mingshu frown, but he said nothing as, being a soldier, what was required was obedience to orders.
If it were up to him, he would have definitely attacked while the opponent was still unstable, and taken control of the entire prairie.
But with the Qing River in the way, attacking became more difficult. And with it blocking them, they could only control half the prairie. Most of the other half was Beast King Valley, controlled by the Beastmen.
The rest was across Qing River, controlled by those humans.
Humans, after all, were not just one entity, it would take some time for them to coordinate.
"Captain, look, are those by any chance ’fox spirits’?" Suddenly, Wang Peng nudged Li Mingshu’s arm.
"What fox spirits? You are a soldier, don’t think about such things all the time." How had he not noticed before? This subordinate staff officer was so vulgar, who had he learned this from?
What Wang Peng pointed to were some captives just returned.
Among these captives were all sorts of people, some of whom belonged to the Fox Clan, but the most striking group was the White Fox Clan. In the clans, although White Foxes had a higher status due to their greater talents,
in their own aesthetic views, this white fur was often not considered very appealing.
In human eyes, it was completely the opposite: that fair skin, with just a touch of white fur, appeared like a fox-eared lady straight out of an anime, possessing great attraction to everyone.
No wonder Wang Peng noticed them first among so many captives.
"No, no, I’m not saying I want them for myself, I’m talking about sending them to the commanding officer. After all, there are quite a few other Foxmen left, we’re not lacking in manpower or priests," Wang Peng quickly clarified.
"What are you trying to do, don’t think about making mistakes, that is the commanding officer after all."
Li Mingshu got a bit angry. As a soldier, what he despised the most was crooked ways.
Wang Peng hurriedly gestured with his hands, "No, no, I mean, keeping these ’fox spirits’ might not be good for our military morale," indicating their own men, many of whom were pointing and gesturing at the Foxmen.
It was fortunate that there were no other particular races around, or many would have gone mad.
"Getting rid of these fox spirits would actually be beneficial for our military development. And even if we don’t send them, with the commanding officer’s strength, will he be in want later? Besides, there’s also that woman from the South."
Wang Peng was referring to Qin Lan, which Li Mingshu slightly considered and then understood.
"That woman is too close to the commanding officer and holds considerable power. If she seduces the commanding officer, who knows if we will have an easy time afterwards. Might as well let these foxes do it."
Li Mingshu realized he was right. If it were these Foxpeople, they were definitely under Fang Jie’s control.
Natives were scarcely likely to offer any unique suggestions or vie for power. These people were much easier to handle than Qin Lan, and having them could enhance Fang Jie’s resistance in this regard.
At least they wouldn’t have to worry about a woman gaining power over them.
Now that they had formed a faction, no longer simply an army, and had gained immense power and territory, naturally their mindset was completely different from before.
Following Fang Jie, they were willing, as they had initially lost to him, yet Fang Jie could still offer them much.
But having one more immediate superior was undesirable, and looking at the current territorial situation, it was quite probable that Qin Lan might reach that point if it wasn’t blocked.
If so, better to voluntarily offer some—it seemed like they could kill multiple birds with one stone.
"But, if the commanding officer becomes immersed in these matters, it’s not good for the big picture."
"That’s impossible, if he were to be immersed, it would have happened already. If we don’t deliver now, sooner or later he’ll get it himself. Might as well try, if he really isn’t worth following, we need to figure out our plans earlier."
Wang Peng lowered his voice, fearing the Undead Heroes might overhear.
Those Undead were fiercely loyal; it wouldn’t be good if they heard this.
Li Mingshu finally nodded: "Alright, do as you say, but only this time, no more exceptions. Also, don’t use this kind of tactic on others, after all, we are still soldiers."
This was Li Mingshu’s final adherence, and Wang Peng just revealed a sly smile.
Li Mingshu soon contacted Fang Jie, then placed the selected White Fox Clan members at the forefront, with the other Beastmen behind, and then reached out to Fang Jie.
"Report to the commanding officer, the first great battle on the prairie has been perfectly successful, we are victorious. These are the captives we’ve captured, ready to select a group and send them back with the Treasure Box."
Li Mingshu said nothing further, letting Fang Jie see for himself. If he wanted them himself, it wouldn’t be their concern.
Seeing those charming White Foxes, Fang Jie’s eyes indeed brightened.
"Are these not the fox spirits? Finally, I see the real deal, never thought I’d encounter such good luck. Just right, I am in need of some servants; let’s use them."
For Fang Jie to say he was completely uninterested would be absolutely impossible.
And spending all day facing those Skeletons, even if some looked normal, they were still Undead.
Even just to look at something pleasant was worthwhile. For some reason, Fang Jie suddenly thought of Qin Lan, feeling a sense of guilt.
"Wait, why should I feel guilty? I’m the boss, everything should be decided by me."
With that thought, Fang Jie let go of his previous concerns: "Very well, well done. Send these Fox Clan to me. Wait, let me see what else is behind," Fang Jie noted the others following.
