The communication treasure in Jones’ hand was kneaded into pieces.
The higher ups had used a stern voice to request the Red Leaf Army to return back, and was giving a punishment for his action of deploying his troops. Fu Ying’s death caused an unprecedented disturbance in Honorable Martial Group. This disturbance spread intensely, and created an uproar to Honorable Martial Group who did not even prepare for it, to lose consecutively in their front lines, and they had no choice but be forced to adopt a defensive stance.
Honorable Martial Group needed a scapegoat, Fu Ying had died, so the only one qualified to take the blame was Red Leaf Army.
Seeing Jones’ action, his Adjutant’s face changed: “Master…”
Jones remained expressionless: “If we go back like this, we will be punished, and that’s the end of us, and the Red Leaf Army will also be finished. I myself have nothing, so i am fine with it, but what about all of you? You want to go back and be persecuted? Be executed just like that?”
The Adjutant’s face changed.
Red Leaf Army’s backbone was the 10th Gold Branch, with their adjutant being a gold ranked martial artist from the 10th Gold Branch. Jones knew that his adjutant would usually listen to his orders, but at the crucial moments, he will forever be thinking about the benefits for the 10th Gold Branch.
But, the adjutant knew that Jones was not exaggerating at all.
The influence of Fu Ying was extremely large, they would definitely be punished severely when they returned. That was how Honorable Martial Group did this, they were never merciful. Honorable Martial Group needed to suppress the anger of the majority, and thus their punishments were very strict, to the Red Leaf Army, that meant being destroyed.
To go as far as to be executed, he was not in the least bit surprised.
His adjutant was quiet for a moment, then asked: “What do you plan to do?”
“Go straight for Ancient Cold CIty.” Jones said coldly: “I was already thinking, why did Ursa Major Constellation’s army enter Sextans Constellation, and I got the answer now. Because Ursa Major Constellation’s target Is Sextans Constellation, they have people inside Ancient Cold City.”
The adjutant asked again: “So what about that?”
“We only need to fight our way into Ancient Cold City, and we can find out what the hell is going on.” Jones said calmly: “As long as we expose the plans against Honorable Martial Group, we can then be rid of the accusation.”
The Adjutant’s eyes lit up, Jones was right!
Admitting to the accusation would not change their situation to the better, instead why not put in their all for the fight. The higher ups were extremely unhappy regarding the situation, and purposely did not provide them any leeway to retaliate. If they could find some bit of evidence and prove that Ancient Cold City had plans to go against Honorable Martial Group, then the higher ups would definitely think of ways to counter them, proving that everything was a plot, a plot to smear Honorable Martial Group.
If they could find proof, then the Red Leaf Army did not need to be punished, and instead receive great merit.
That was definitely an opportunity to soar.
“Currently, Ancient Cold City is in its weakest state.” Jones shared: “All the saints are treated as cannon fodder, and, I understand Master Fu Ying well, for them to have killed Master Fu Ying, they must have sacrificed a lot. So the current Ancient Cold City is definitely weak.”
“That’s right!” The adjutant was not hesitant anymore, and started to praise and show affectations: “Master is brilliant!”
The more he thought about it, if they could take over Ancient Cold City, even if they did not find any evidence, they could just create some. What the higher ups needed was not proof, but a stage, a turning point, once they found this turning point, Honorable Martial Group would be able to have the momentum to make the apparently right but wrong things to become real.
He felt extreme respect for Jones, to be able to think of a way out for them under such a situation, he was too intelligent.
Everyone in the Red Leaf Army were anxious with a cloud of worry above their heads. Excluding the Adjutant, everyone had lost their hope, all of them were in despair, and only Jones was able to maintain calm.
Jones spoke: “This is our only chance, our last chance. Go and boost their morale, this battle will be a battle for ourselves, we can only win, and not lose, as losing means death.”
“Your subordinate will do it now!” The Adjutant said without hesitating, nothing was more inspiring than seeing hope in a state of despair.
Seeing his own Adjutant rushing out, Jones was somewhat dazed.
Fu Ying, I will definitely avenge you! His eyes flashed with deep killing intent.
Truth be told, Tang Tian played his hand extremely well, somewhat affected slightly by Meng Ta’s wretchedness. Honorable Martial Group could no longer be bothered with Sextans Constellation, the war which was so intense and bitter, caused everyone to be under extreme pressure.
The relaxation after a big war was the most satisfying.
But Tang Tian had a distressed look.
A win was a win, but Ye Zhao Ge had smashed his hand. Originally, Tang Tian had planned to use Ye Zhao Ge to obtain a large sum of money from Honorable Martial Group, but now that they had killed Fu Ying, the deal would be unattainable.
100 billion star coins, how could he not feel the sorrow?
But sorrow was just sorrow, the harvest from the battle still made Tang Tian happy. Especially the silver aquarius cabinet on Fu Ying, although it did not have many star coins, it had plenty of good things. Fu Ying raged wars wherever he fought and killed countless people, the spoils from these battles were countless, and the ones he took were all of excellent quality.
There were a couple of treasures prepared for when Fu Ying stepped in the silver level.
Usually, the definition of a Silver Saint, is determined by having 200 spirit value points on an offensive spirit technique, 200 spirit value points on a flight spirit technique and 200 on a defensive spirit technique.
That also meant, only by having a spirit value of 600 could one be hailed as a Silver Saint. Fu Ying only wielded a silver grade offense, and was not a Silver Saint.
That was a huge distance to cover, Tang Tian’s subordinates, the highest was just of 160 spirit value, and Tang Tian only had 80.
Regarding the 200 points, through long period of studies and observation, saints found out that any spirit technique that holds such a spirit value, upon crossing the 200 points, the spirit technique would go through a qualitative leap, it’s power increasing substantially.
