Chapter 685: Chapter 416: Envy for the Bonus_2

Afterwards, Donald Lee simply accepted his fate. He’s already killed one of the emperor’s slaves; what could be worse? At least he wasn’t using one of the emperor’s concubines.

Either way, it’s a death sentence.

So, he wandered around the unfinished Flying Carriage Palaces with a calm look on his face: during his last trip to the capital, he hadn’t had the chance to visit the Imperial Palace, and now he could make up for that regret.

The unfinished Flying Carriage Palaces had many exposed parts, and Owen Bertram had given specific instructions to Ferdinand to strengthen them. Donald Lee couldn’t help but tease him: "You’re not making a Flying Carriage Palace; you’re building a mobile battle fortress!"

Owen Bertram held a finger to his lips and, with an enigmatic smile, said, "Shh."

Donald Lee pretended not to have noticed anything. Owen regretted on the way back that there were no more fighters from Nanni Nation coming to chase them. To wait for them, he even ordered the speed of the Flying Carriages to be slowed down, but unfortunately, the Nanni Nation didn’t send anyone to chase them.

However, as Donald Lee looked down from the sky at some of the cities in the Nanni Nation, he found that they had obviously strengthened their defenses. "After this battle, the Nanni Nation is on alert, and I’m afraid that future battles won’t be as easy to win by surprise," he warned.

The invasion of Suden City was mainly due to the city’s lax defenses, which didn’t activate their City-Protection Talisman Array at night. This allowed the Flying Bear Army to successfully attack using their Earth Travel Skills; otherwise, they would have faced a difficult siege battle.

Owen Bertram expressed confidence, patting Donald Lee’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, after this battle, the merchant houses will be lining up at Summit Metropolitan Office to buy some of our Large-scale Magical Instruments. These small, broken city defense talisman arrays will be no trouble at all."

Donald Lee assumed Owen was just trying to sell them Large-scale Magical Instruments and didn’t take it seriously.

...

Due to Owen’s deliberate delay, they returned to the Flying Bear Army camp half a day later than the team from Suden City. The whole camp was filled with celebrations, like the New Year.

The moment the Flying Carriage Palaces landed, the already festive atmosphere surged to a new climax!

William personally came to greet Owen, raising his fists, "We’ve started with a bang. Hahaha!"

Owen Bertram laughed heartily, pulling William along, "Where are the people from Wanli Life and Topeka Hall? Call them over and let’s count the spoils of this battle together."

The spoils in Suden City had already been counted: treasures worth about 1,130,000 Spirit Jades! And the total investment for the battle was just 30,000 Spirit Jades.

Flying Bear Army took forty percent of the earnings, while the remaining sixty percent was divided among the investors according to their shares. With just Suden City, they already made more than twenty times their initial investment!

The supervisors from Wanli Life and Topeka Hall who were overseeing the battlefield were already delighted, but they were even more delighted when Owen invited them over.

As battlefield supervisors, they were well aware that the spoils of Westeros City should not be counted in this first distribution, but who could resist higher profits? As long as they were getting some benefits, they naturally wouldn’t reveal any dirty secrets when Owen spoke to other potential investors about the gains from this first battle.

When the spoils from Westeros City were counted, they were worth about 840,000 Spirit Jades. Everyone invested in the battle had made a fortune. The supervisors sent the results back to their respective businesses, and the news spread quickly.

Owen Bertram hadn’t even left the Flying Bear Army camp to return to the Capital, and various businesses had already sent their top executives and shareholders to hurry to Looking Cloud Cliff, waiting expectantly for Owen’s return.

But Owen had one more important thing to do in the Flying Bear Army.

He invited both William and Donald Lee, "For the heroes of this battle, I have a great opportunity for them. However ... since it’s an opportunity, it depends on their individual fate."

William hurriedly declined, "My lord, you don’t have to do this. We are already undeserving of your grace and don’t know how we can repay you."

Owen Bertram just laughed, "General, there’s no need to refuse. I’m not helping you for the Flying Bear Army’s sake. I’m helping you to set up a strong barrier for our Wood Dynasty in the Southern Border."

Donald Lee persuaded, "General, don’t be too humble. Once the Sixth Great Realm has made its offer, there’s no reason for it to be withdrawn."

William sighed, lamenting, "If only our Flying Bear Army had met you sooner. We would have already breached the Nanni Nation’s capital and taken the Nanni Royal Family hostage to offer to the Emperor."

Conquering a country and presenting its royal family as captives is perhaps every general’s ultimate dream.

But Owen and Donald Lee both laughed. Donald Lee, already a wanted man by the Imperial Court, bluntly said, "General, our emperor wouldn’t be interested in captives. But if you offered him treasures, he’d definitely be overjoyed."

William was embarrassed and angrily waved at Donald Lee to summon the people.

Donald Lee ran off quickly. Before long, he returned with nine people, then stood proudly alongside them: "The most meritorious people of this battle are, undoubtedly... yourself, General!" When he noticed William in his peripheral vision, he quickly switched directions, "And of course, our very own General William!"
