Chapter 431: Chapter 40: Could He Really Be a Peerless Genius? (6K)_4

As for Wen Shaoyang, his military achievements were already quite prominent, and he was originally ranked higher than Liao Rulong, but now he has been caught up by Liao Rulong.

"Zhao Xing is really talented, actually convincing Liao Rulong to carry out such a plan."

"I thought he would just blend in with the crowd in the Divine Might Army; I even pitied him before, wondering why he didn’t join the Tiger Flood Dragon Army."

"Looking at it now, even if he had joined the Tiger Flood Dragon Army, it’s unlikely that he would have had such an opportunity," sighed King Lingde.

"Luo Hou, why aren’t you saying anything?" King Heavenly Destiny smiled, "Don’t want to talk?"

"Hmph," King Luo Hou snorted, still remaining silent.

He was truly at a loss for words.

Originally, there was not much of an opportunity at Fire Dragon Pass, but Zhao Xing managed to find a chance.

Is the Earth Fire Lotus something one can just snatch back?

To think that he could also master high-level techniques of the Self Sect and cultivate a Fifth Order Earth Fire Lotus!

Incredible!

Zhao Xing now has enough merits to be eligible for the rank of third-rank Marquis, and Xia Jing is not far behind.

Although they bet on becoming second-rank Marquis, with the way things are progressing, becoming a second-rank Marquis is not impossible either.

King Luo Hou, in what mood was he to speak?

"Luo Hou, it’s just about two Seventh-rank Divine Weapons," King Heavenly Destiny laughed, "You certainly can afford to lose."

"It’s not the Divine Weapons I care about," King Luo Hou shook his head, "but this Zhao Xing... constantly defying my predictions..."

King Luo Hou didn’t care about the two Seventh-rank Divine Weapons, but he did care about his judgment on warfare and his insight into people.

Zhao Xing had surprised King Luo Hou several times, making him doubt himself.

King Lingde said with a smile, "Luo Hou, you still have a chance. The next target is the Qinggang Mine; surely he can’t achieve much there."

"Lv Yuanwei on the western front has yet to break through Yang Qilin’s second line of defense; with just the Divine Might Army, Xuanjia Army, and Zhenhai Army, they can’t possibly take on the Golden Feather Royal Court’s army of millions by themselves."

"Indeed, Luo Hou, don’t be disheartened, you might not necessarily lose," said King Heavenly Destiny.

Finally, King Luo Hou spoke, "According to the information from the Creation Plate, now that Fire Dragon Pass has been breached, the commander has been fleeing southeast, and most of the cities along the way have been abandoned."

"With so little resistance along the way, it also means there’s not much military merit to be earned."

"Unless they take a detour to attack the Sacrificial Soul Pass’ defenses, that’s the only place where significant merits can be won, otherwise they have to wait for strong forces like the Zhao Yuan Army and Huan You Army from the north, or the Divine Thunder Army from the west to make a breakthrough."

"Sacrificial Soul Pass is guarded by an army sent by the Holy Spirit Royal Court to support the Golden Feather Royal Court."

"This defensive line, guarding against armies from the north and the east, is not to be underestimated."

"Of course, they have another option, which is to go to Canglan River and fight the water witches."

"But then the roles of master and guest are reversed. Naval battle is the home ground of the Zhenhai Army, and even they haven’t got much military achievement."

"For Zhao Xing and Xia Jing, finding glory in such a place would be difficult."

King Luo Hou said, "Considering the current progress, there might not be any significant breakthroughs within this year."

"Unless some unexpected situation arises."

At this point, King Luo Hou, seeing King Lingde and King Heavenly Destiny both looking at him with a smile, could not continue.

"Are you waiting for me to finish analyzing so you can laugh at me?" King Luo Hou said indignantly.

"Not at all," King Lingde hurriedly replied.

"Absolutely not," grinned King Heavenly Destiny.

"Hmph!"

King Luo Hou left abruptly, no longer willing to chat with the two of them.

Instead, he turned his attention back to the battle situation.

Thinking about what Zhao Xing had done, King Luo Hou couldn’t help but murmur in his heart.

"To create opportunities where there are none, is he truly a peerless genius? What will he stir up next?"
