Chapter 125 - Kitty (1/2)
BOOM
BANG BANG BANG…
Gunfire, explosions, death; Simon never actually intended for such a lucky outcome. Such a thing happening was out of the picture when he began planning. He indeed had sent his men to retrieve a spirit beast for the sake of destroying the demonic sect, but the demonic sect had begun killing themselves without him! How unfair. He had already done all of this work to create a build up in anger and influenced them to attack his main camp, only for them to split apart and enter a suicidal internal conflict.
Just like that, Simon had somehow won a war without even fighting the final battle. The outcome was apparent the very next morning when a scout returned to inform Simon of the destruction of the demonic sect. After waiting for an entire night for the demonic sect to take the bait and attack the base, Simon had become very agitated and extremely annoyed at the failed plan. And all of a sudden, he received this piece of news. His tactics were so vile that the demonic sect split and ended up destroying itself with no survivors.
Simon had finished the trial with the best possible outcome. Not even a single soldier had been lost in the war against the demonic sect. Everyone had remained healthy throughout the entire war and it did not even last a month.
”Are you sure?!” Simon asked with a shocked expression, shaking the scout's arms persistently.
”Yes, General! The war is won and we can return to the sect!”
”THE WAR IS WON!!! THE WAR IS WON!!! THE WAR IS WON!!!”
The soldiers began chanting in unison as they all opened jugs of wine, drinking away like it was high tide.
”We have brought endless glory to the sect. Rest well everyone, and make sure to pack up for our trip home tomorrow.” Simon smiled, announcing he green light for everyone to celebrate.
'Heh… wonderful, just wonderful.'
From above the clouds, a group of immortals watched the scene below with eyes full of surprise. Never in their long lives have they ever seen such a fearsome and overbearing tactic for winning a war against a demonic sect. Enraging the enemy with pit traps? Causing them to split from humiliation and fear? And all of this without losing a single soldier.
”Junior Brother Wu, you have indeed found a wonderful elder for the Divine Tempest Sect. I congratulate you on your growing insight and ever expanding wisdom. May your second recommendation be just as refreshing as your first.” Elder Mu Zi clasped his hands and respectfully addressed Wu Zhong.
”Fate brought him to our sect. One way or another, he would have come here anyway. Do not over praise me for something that is bound by fate.” Wu Zhong mystically replied with the aura of a wise ancestor.
”To think that he caused the sect to split apart and destroy themselves. This is just too overbearing. I completely support Hui Ge Dong's appointment as an elder of the Divine Tempest Sect! A young man like Hui cannot be found anywhere else. We must make him an elder before another sect tries to steal him away!”
”I agree! Hui Ge Dong is now a brother of mine. From now on, whoever wants to fight Hui Ge Dong, needs to go through me!” A muscular elder announced with a clenched fist.
”He did not even use his gun throughout the entire war… this is just too fearsome indeed, Senior Brother Mu. We should give him the charge of the sect's armies from now on. He is perfect for commanding legions of warriors and keeping them alive. Perhaps he can defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator by only using a Foundation Building soldier, who knows?”
”Sect Patriarch, what do you think?” Mu Zi asked.
”I think that Junior Brother Hui should be in charge of all combat operations run by our sect. However, I understand that since he is still full of youth, he may d.e.s.i.r.e for leisure time. Therefore, I appoint him as the Elder who will oversee the training of our warriors. War operations will still be a joint duty of all elders and me, the sect patriarch.” The patriarch waved his hand and gave his final ultimatum on the matter.
”From now on, address him as Junior Brother Hui. And the elder deserves to be a brother or sister to all of us.” Do not let his cultivation fool you, he is a wise and cunning tactician that knows how to operate a war room better than I can. We must make sure to cultivate him properly so he can ascend to immortality and become a pillar of the sect.” The patriarch finished his address and flew back to the sect.
”Did you hear that? Junior Brother Hui is now an elder! Junior Brother Wu is the most wise of us all! He can spot a talent from a kilometre away! No, 10 kilometres away!”
”Hahah…”
The elders all laughed and talked about the events before eventually leaving towards the sect. Although Simon's results were indeed so amazing that all elders could not help but be in awe, they still understood that they had duties at the sect. It is time for them to work and work is more important than chatter.
