God of Pets

Chapter 541 Both Civil and Military
"Just as I thought." Chen Guan led his team through several checkpoints, killing more than five thousand demons, including those who had been eliminated.

However, most of them were eliminated by the demons, and only a small portion were the real regulars.

That's not the point. The point is that because of the deaths of these demons, the paper doll's level, which had been standing still, has finally started to rise again. It has already risen 3 levels in the past two days and is now level 24.

Chen Guan is currently focusing all his efforts on leveling up the paper dolls. The other pets, except for the Ten Thousand Poison Insect King, have all reached level 30 and need to undergo the fourth awakening before they can continue to level up. At present, they can no longer be leveled up.

On the battlefield, it is undoubtedly the place where paper dolls level up the fastest.

After two days of testing, Chen Guan discovered that in addition to the condition of a living being dying, the higher the level of the living being, the more energy it can provide to the paper doll after death, and the faster the paper doll will upgrade.

If things continue like this, and we can remove all the checkpoints near Tianyang City and slaughter the demons inside Tianyang City, then we should be able to level up the paper doll to level 30.

"It's so hard for me to level up. I've been consuming all sorts of rare and precious herbs for days, and I still haven't leveled up. This is much harder than when I was awakening for the third time. I guess even if I consume all the rare and precious herbs I brought with me, I still won't be able to reach level 40. I can only try to level up my pets first." Chen Guan pondered in his heart how to get his pet to awaken for the fourth time.

Nan Zilan and her soldiers fought with increasing gusto. Although they didn't go directly to Tianyang City, the constant annihilation of the demon soldiers at the checkpoints only strengthened their confidence and fueled their fighting spirit. They had completely lost their previous fear of the demons.

In addition, with the resources plundered from the demons, soldiers in the team continued to level up.

Although they are all at level six, not all soldiers are at the maximum level of 60; in fact, most are below level 60.

Now, with resources readily available and supported by the war effort, coupled with Chen Guan's cheerleading spirit, the team is experiencing a truly remarkable upgrade, and its combat power is growing stronger and stronger.

A constant stream of good news arrived at the Ten Prefectures and the City Lord's Mansion, leaving everyone stunned.

They could hardly believe that Bai Xiuyan and his team had managed to slaughter four checkpoints of the demons and behead more than a thousand demon soldiers in just two days.

This only counts the number of regular demon soldiers, not the cannon fodder and eliminated demons.

More than three hundred riders killed over a thousand demon soldiers—what a glorious achievement!

Aside from the intervention of the strongest human beings in the war, humanity has not achieved such a record in a long time.

If such a record is the result of Bai Xiuyan's intervention, then it is acceptable.

However, Bai Xiuyan is half-crippled, and his combat strength is unlikely to return to its peak. Even if he takes action, it is unknown whether he can achieve such a record.

Moreover, according to intelligence, Bai Xiuyan did not even make a move; this achievement was the result of the entire team's efforts.

"Is it really true that a desperate army is unstoppable?" some exclaimed in amazement at such a victory.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Jiang Yunxiang said, looking at the intelligence report: "Have you noticed that although this team belongs to Nan Zilan, according to the intelligence report, the people who are actually commanding the team seem to be the Zi siblings, especially Zi Donglai, who should be the true commander of the team?"

"Are you saying that such a record is all the result of Zi Donglai's command? That's a bit much. I admit that his protective divine skill is indeed very powerful, but he is only at the fourth level of awakening. His own combat strength cannot play a significant role on such a battlefield. Can he achieve such results just by commanding the troops? I don't believe it."

Shang Feiyu said, "Even if his command ability is extraordinary, the quality and ability of those soldiers are what they are. If he had a few months to train the soldiers, maybe he could succeed. But he has only just taken over the team. What use is his command if he is so good? I think it must be because Bai Xiuyan intervened in secret."

“If it were someone else, I wouldn’t think there’s anything wrong with what you’re saying, but that person is Zi Donglai. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did something amazing,” Chu Jianxiong shook his head. “Being strong personally and being good at leading troops in battle are two different things. Do you think that with his combat abilities, he has time to study how to lead troops in battle?” Shang Feiyu simply didn’t believe it.

"Is it possible that Zi Donglai has the time to do research?" Chu Jianxiong asked with a smile.

Shang Feiyu was speechless. Even the scions of these ten great families had training plans.

I can learn everything, but there are definitely priorities.

Just like Jiang Qiemo and Jiang Tianqing, Jiang Qiemo was trained to be the strongest combatant, which is the highest level of combat power for the Jiang family to fight against enemies in the future.

However, Jiang Tianqing was trained according to the standards of a leader. He was excellent in all aspects and had a very meticulous mind, making him suitable for taking charge of the family.

Although he also has strong combat talent, it would be more suitable for Jiang Qiemo to focus on improving his combat power.

Large families usually have an evaluation system, which assesses each member of the family and usually finds a suitable path for them.

Qin Qiu was also very strong, but he needed to manage various family affairs, so he couldn't devote himself to cultivation. Therefore, he chose Qin Ziyu as the one who could cultivate wholeheartedly.

If you ask them to switch places, Jiang Qiemo and Qin Ziyu will probably have a hard time managing the various complicated affairs of the family. Qin Qiu and Jiang Tianqing also don't have that kind of focus, making it difficult for them to concentrate wholeheartedly on their cultivation.

Can Zi Donglai achieve what even the ten great families couldn't? Become a genius who excels in both literature and martial arts, with no weaknesses in any area, and even surpasses all others in the world?
Shang Feiyu felt that this was unreliable. She admitted that Zi Donglai's personal combat strength was invincible among his peers, but she could not accept that his ability to lead troops into battle was also incredibly strong.

"Tianyang City has dispatched two thousand elite troops to intercept Zi Donglai and his group." The recent intelligence sent back weighed heavily on everyone's spirits.

Qian Po Jun is the garrison of Tianyang City, an elite force personally trained by Mo Qian Po, far superior to the ordinary demon soldiers guarding the pass.

"This is bad. Zi Donglai and his group must have misjudged the situation. Coupled with the lack of reliable intelligence, they've been cornered by Qian Pojun on the banks of the Yan River." Bad news kept coming.

Although Zi Donglai and his men had a remarkable record, with only three hundred riders facing two thousand Po Jun, no one would think they had any chance.

"Who is the commander of Qian Pojun's troops?" Zhang Xuanqing asked thoughtfully.

Jiang Yunxiang flipped through the intelligence and said, "Mo Qianpo's deputy, Lei Yan."

Upon hearing that Lei Yan was leading the troops, everyone's hearts sank even further.

Lei Yan, known as the chief instructor of the Nine Demon City, is most skilled at training troops. He can train unruly demons to obey orders, which is something that not everyone can do.

Lei Yan himself may not have any particularly miraculous achievements, but he leads his troops with great stability, following the path of the king, and has never suffered a defeat when he fights with superior numbers.

With Lei Yan leading the troops now, it is clearly the most stable option.

“No wonder Zi Donglai and his men were trapped at Yanhe. It’s no surprise that Lei Yan was the one leading the troops,” Zhang Xuanqing sighed.
