High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Inside the main camp of the Black Earth Tribe army, Morpheus was anxiously awaiting news from Baal.

He has now brought the entire army to a halt and gathered them into camp.

This is actually a fairly correct response.

If the main force of the Great Xia arrives, Morpheus can directly command the army to fight against them.

At the same time, if a small force like the vanguard battalion launches an attack, the main army can react quickly and surround the vanguard battalion, making it no different from sending the enemy's small force to their deaths.

Morpheus only needs to wait for Baal's message before he can take the next step.

For example, if Baal's message is that the enemy's main force has not arrived and it is just a smokescreen released by Zhao Zhenyuan, he can completely ignore the small enemy force and quickly have his main army occupy the Qiyuan Mountain Range.

If the enemy's main force has already arrived, he will need to consider how to launch the next full-scale war.

That's why Morpheus is getting anxious now; what he fears most is that things will continue to drag on like this!

Morpheus stared intently at a radio communication device on the table, having looked at it three times in just one hour.

However, to his surprise, instead of receiving news from Baal, he received a message from a messenger.

"Commander! A corpse suddenly flew into our camp gate..."

Morpheus, already agitated, became even more irritated upon seeing the messenger's fearful expression. He said in a deep voice, "So what if it's a corpse? You're a soldier, haven't you ever seen a dead person before?"

"I've seen it before, but this corpse..."

Morpheus rushed to the camp gate and frowned the moment he saw the corpse.

This doesn't look like a corpse at all; it's clearly a skeleton!

This skeleton was several times larger than a normal person's, and there was still a lot of flesh and blood left in the skeleton, which was disgusting to look at.

Even Morpheus, pinching his nose, said, "Get this wretched thing out of here! Who put this thing at the entrance of the military camp?"

At this moment, a soldier handed Morpheus a piece of paper: "General, we not only found this body, but also a piece of paper that came with it. It seems to be written in the script of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Many people in the Black Earth tribe do not know the Xia script, but Morpheus is different. He is passionate about Xia culture and has studied many things about Xia. When it comes to the Xia language, he even knows more about it than many people in Xia.

Morpheus opened the note; the question on it was not obscure or difficult to understand at all.

"Vanguard Battalion Commander Li Mo will rid the Great Xia of this wicked villain, Baal!"

Morpheus immediately realized that the corpse lying on the ground was none other than his beloved general, Baal.

His previously dismissive attitude immediately underwent a complete 180-degree change.

He knelt on the ground and tears streamed down his face as he looked at the skeleton.

"My beloved general, Baal!"

Morpheus is indeed clever; if word gets out about his attitude towards Baal's corpse, it will likely chill the hearts of all the Black Earth tribe officers.

Morpheus was genuinely heartbroken, but his tears were fake. He was more shocked than anything else, because Baal had been brought back alive after being skinned alive, which also meant that the five thousand men Baal had led in pursuit had been wiped out!

He almost subconsciously thought that the main force of the Great Xia must have arrived, otherwise Baal and his troops wouldn't be in such a terrible state!

Upon hearing the name Barr, the others were also taken aback.

"What?! It's General Baal?"

"How could General Baal have become like this? The Great Xia people are far too cruel!"

"Poor General Baal! We must avenge him!"

Seeing that the crowd's emotions had been stirred, Morpheus immediately said, "Send down the order to prepare the highest-level military funeral for General Baal! Let everyone remember his sacrifice! Also, instruct the finance department to ensure that General Baal's family receives proper compensation!"

"yes!"

There's a reason why Morpheus was called the savior by the Black Earth Tribe. Theoretically, such political maneuvering is common in the Great Xia Dynasty, but it seems extremely abnormal given the general intelligence of the Black Earth Tribe people.

Morpheus's few words moved everyone who witnessed the scene to tears.

Morpheus then returned to the military camp and immediately convened a collective meeting with most of the high-ranking military officers, including generals.

As soon as he entered the marshal's tent, the sad look on his face completely disappeared.

"Li Mo? Li Mo! That name sounds so familiar!"

Morpheus saw the name Li Mo written on the note and felt it was very familiar.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered.

Because the Black Soil Tribe's plan to stifle the new generation of the Great Xia was devised by him!

He even selected those names!

He remembered that there was a name on that list called Li Mo, a name given to him by a spy who had been infiltrating the Great Xia for more than ten years.

The spy's advice to Li Mo was to eliminate him by any means necessary!

At the time, Morpheus didn't pay much attention, after all, Li Mo was just a fallen genius with the lowest level of talent, far from being a threat.

Actually, he had many ways to eliminate Li Mo at that time, and now, thinking back on it carefully, Morpheus regrets it deeply.

We should have eliminated Li Mo back when he was at Starry Sky University!

Morpheus had to admit that it was his oversight that led to the emergence of someone who could pose a threat to the entire Black Earth tribe!

Putting everything else aside, although Baal was not very bright, he was indeed his favorite general because Baal was very loyal to him and listened to his every word.

But now Li Mo has killed one of his top generals, which is enough to enrage him!

Morpheus only announced his next battle plan after all the generals had gathered in the marshal's tent.

"Gentlemen! I have finalized the next plan: halt all marches, and stop the vanguard as well. The enemy's main force has arrived; Baal and his troops have been annihilated! We must now consider the full-scale battle against the Great Xia army!"

Morpheus's words left everyone in disbelief.

"How long has it been since news of the Seven Yuan Mountains arrived? And the Great Xia army is already here?"

"How is this possible? Our people should have been the first to arrive at the Seven Yuan Mountains!"

"Sigh! I thought we could finally gain the upper hand this time! Alright, I'll go back and have my troops prepare a response plan!"

Thanks to Li Mo's actions, Morpheus decided to halt the march completely to prevent an attack from the main force of the Great Xia army.

This can be considered a major success for Li Mo's mission.

If it had been delayed for a few more days, the main force of the Great Xia would have indeed marched from its homeland to this place.

Li Mo sent out several scouts to investigate the movements of the main force of the Black Soil Tribe, and then held a meeting that evening.

Li Mo was not satisfied with merely stopping the enemy's march; he also wanted to deliver a crushing blow to them!
