Chapter 182: Is the speed at which his combat merits are improving reasonable?

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army, you have completed the task of planting 'Sand Yuan Fruit' (1 pieces) and obtained points of military merit (this task cannot be submitted again this month)]

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army, you have completed the task of planting 'Golden Glory Pillars' (one thousand), and obtained 1 points of military merit. (This task cannot be submitted again this month)]

……

The notification of the ground mirror quickly refreshed the screen. In just a blink of an eye, when the statistics were calculated, Zhao Xing had increased his military merit by 71,000.
"Patti, this is such a great gift."

"I'll find a chance to send more people from the Sand Tribe down there to accompany you."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but be moved when he saw his growing military achievements.

Pati, a member of the Sha tribe, robbed two cities. When he robbed, he dragged away all the goods from the inner treasury, including the Si Nong treasury in the city.

Originally, these were materials used by other military towns' agriculture officials to complete tasks, but now they have all become Zhao Xing's property.

Seventy-one thousand military merits!

To achieve perfection in the seventh-grade Earthly Fiend realm, you have to kill 18 of them!
If you kill those in the early stage of the Earthly Demon Realm, you have to kill 71 of them!
At this stage, the seventh rank is the second tier of combat power. They are either main generals or deputy generals. How can they be killed so easily if they stay in the defensive fortress?

Zhao Xing became rich directly after this wave.

"Robbery still comes quickly."

Zhao Xing smiled happily as he watched his military achievements rise steadily.

Even if we rob the tribes in the Southern Wilderness normally, we won't be able to gain much military merit, and we may not be able to kill people so quickly.

That is, the three brothers of Patina, who first robbed the other two cities of the Great Zhou, but were chopped down by Zhao Xing before they had time to go back to deal with the spoils.

“Look at my ranking.”

When the mission notification of the Earth Mirror stopped refreshing, Zhao Xing immediately opened the Battle Merit List.

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army: Rank 7, Lower]

【Battle Merit: 86000】

【Total ranking: 65712】

"More than 60,000?"

"Before coming here, there were more than 5 million people. This time, it has surpassed 5 million people."

“There are more than 60,000 people on the total list, even surpassing some sixth-rank ones. However, the imperial court is constantly increasing its troops, and the competition is fierce.” Zhao Xing said secretly.

When the list of military merits for pacifying the barbarians first started, the number of people involved was around seven million.

At that time, Zhao Xing had not yet left the country.

Now, a month later, that number has doubled to nearly 15 million.

The number continued to increase after that, and at its peak, the total number exceeded 50 million!
The conquest was effective and the training was efficient, so many more soldiers were added to expand the results.

Although they are still the five great caves in name, in reality many people have been filled into the five great caves.

Since it's a favorable battle, everyone wants to fight. In addition, various kings and princes also requested to fight and sent soldiers from their own fiefdoms to join the battle.

This has led to a rapid increase in the number of people.

"It won't be long before the number of sixth-rank officials increases from 50,000 to more than 60,000."

"The number of seventh-rank officials has increased from 200,000 to 1.5 million."

"The total of the eighth and ninth rank is over 30 million."

“By the end of Jingxin’s 18th year, the number exceeded 50 million.”

"Rank nine to seventh are all low-level combat power, and only rank six is ​​considered mid-level combat power. Therefore, the increase in rank six is ​​not much. The military community intends to control the rhythm, and even at the peak period, it did not exceed 80,000." Zhao Xing said secretly.

"Let's take a look at the seventh-grade list."

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army: Rank 7, Lower]

【Battle Merit: 86000】

[Ranking on the Seventh Rank Battle Merit List: 4524]

"He has already made it into the top 33." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Qi Yuanjun, who is ranked first on the seventh-grade battle merit list, has achieved over battle merits. This is really exaggerated. In less than a day, he has already gained over battle merits."

The strong will always be strong. The top-ranked seventh-rank officers are basically the main generals on the front line and form a strong army.

Rush to the front line, fight the favorable battle, and reap the rewards quickly.

"I dropped twelve places again." In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xing dropped twelve places in the ranking.

"Now, most of my main tasks have been completed because of this batch of materials."

"Next, quickly complete this month's main mission, get enough basic combat merit, and then prepare to complete the 'general mission' to gain additional combat merit. General missions are where the gap is made. They are difficult, but you can do them endlessly."

South of the Canglan River is the Tiger-Jiao Army’s war zone.

City No. 162.

Zhuang Ziqing is planting 'Spirit Wing Bamboo' in the city, which is one of the main materials for making the 'Silver Wing Armor', which can give warriors the ability to fly.

A fourth-level Spirit Wing Bamboo can bring Zhuang Ziqing 100 points of combat merit. He is currently planting a bamboo forest, but there are relatively few that have reached the fourth level, only occupying a small half.

Zhuang Ziqing had previously fought two siege battles with the Wei Hong unit of the Tiger and Dragon Army, but was later sent here to serve as the Agricultural Supervisor.

The Tiger and Dragon Army is a strong army, and Zhuang Ziqing has good talent, but he is still no match for those veteran seventh-rank agriculture officials. Seeing that he could not gain any great merit, he took the initiative to apply to return to the city to farm.

"Li Feng, Feng Qiu." Zhuang Ziqing called his two assistant officers. "Take a break first. There's no need to work so hard. You've been busy for twenty-four hours without closing your eyes."

Li Feng and Feng Qiu, both of whom were from the Tiger and Dragon Army, now came to serve as assistants to Zhuang Ziqing. As for Shi Yong, he was fighting on the front line with the Tiger and Dragon Army.

"I'm fine." Feng Qiu said lightly.

Li Feng did not stop and continued to cast spells.

They also followed the front and fought in two battles, and then were sent back.

Unlike Zhuang Ziqing, Li Feng and Feng Qiu were persuaded to return.

Because they were on the front line, they didn't play much of a role.

The strong army is full of talented people. The two Si Nong who had just completed their training were considered geniuses when they were in the reserve of Shiyang Dongtian. However, when they arrived on the battlefield, their competitiveness became weaker compared with those veteran seventh-grade soldiers.

The Tiger Dragon Army gave Feng Qiu and Li Feng an opportunity, but they didn't seize it. So after being sent back, they worked very hard.

"You guys can hold on." Zhuang Ziqing said helplessly, "But I don't want to be so tired. If you guys don't rest, how can I rest alone?"

"I have a way." Feng Qiu took out the ground mirror and stuffed it into Zhuang Ziqing's arms.

"What is that?" Zhuang Ziqing took the mirror and took a look. The mirror displayed a query page, which showed Zhao Xing's ranking and military achievements.

"What? Zhao Xing has 86,000 military achievements?!" Zhuang Ziqing's eyes widened. "Didn't he just come out of seclusion three days ago?"

“No matter how fast we travel, it will take a day or two to get there. How long has it been since he broke into the top 5,000 of the Seventh Rank List?!”

Fengqiu and Lifeng remained silent, because they couldn't understand why Zhao Xing could be so fast.

Fengqiu and Lifeng have one thing in common, that is, they were both abused by Zhao Xing.

Naturally, I am very concerned about Zhao Xing's movements.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Eighty-six thousand military achievements! More than four thousand!
Fengqiu was still ranked over 70,000 and Lifeng was even ranked over 100,000. Only Zhuang Ziqing and Shi Yong were ranked less than 10,000.

But Zhao Xing had just come out of seclusion, and he was already in the top 5,000!

Fengqiu now slapped the ground mirror in Zhuang Ziqing's hand, and the meaning was very clear: Are you still tired?
How can you sleep?
Now you understand why we work so hard!
Zhuang Ziqing finally came to his senses: "Damn it, he was so... in his words, he was so unruly in Shiyang Cave Heaven, and he is still so unruly on the battlefield?!"

Zhuang Ziqing threw the floor mirror to Feng Qiu and said murderously, "Work! Everyone, work! I won't sleep anymore!"

Tiger and Dragon Army war zone, front line.

A marching temple is hidden in the mountains.

Shi Yong, who had just finished a battle, dragged his tired body back to the tent.

Just when he was about to take a break, he found that his ground mirror was shaking slightly.

There is a text message on it. It is from Zhuang Ziqing.

【See Zhao Xing's ranking, check it out now! 】

"Let me see Zhao Xing's ranking?" Shi Yong was a little puzzled. "Zhao Xing just came out of retreat. What's so interesting about him?"

However, since Zhuang Ziqing said so, Shi Yong also opened the list to check.

After reading it, Shi Yong fell silent.

He wanted to send a message to Zhuang Ziqing, but he didn't know what to send for a long time. Finally, he had to put away the ground mirror silently, gave up the plan to rest, and started to run to the marching hall to practice.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

Soon, Zhao Xing's abnormally high number of military achievements attracted the attention of Xia Jing, Cao Shuang, Jiang Tianming, Feng Qi and others.

"He just arrived at the battlefield and he's already ranked over 4,000?" Xia Jing looked at the ranking and wondered if he was seeing things. "I'm only ranked over 3,000, but I've been fighting for more than half a month."

"Brother Xia, what are you looking at me for?" Guan Junyang said helplessly, "How can I understand this kind of thing? Maybe it's luck?"

"Luck?" Xia Jing smiled. "You have never been to Yuncheng. You don't understand Zhao Xing."

"Given the same luck as others, even if they face a team of seventh-grade aliens, they may not be able to kill them even if they are loaded with spoils."

"Or rather, it may not be discovered."

"Eighty-six thousand combat merits, that means there must be seventy or eighty seventh-grade soldiers. Such a team configuration must be riding on a highly concealed warship." Guan Junyang shook his head, "It's hard for me to find it. If I were in the Shenwei Army and didn't team up with you, I would have to run away when facing such a team."

Xia Jing didn't say anything more. If he said anything more, it would be a blow to Guan Junyang.

But he still missed living with Zhao Xing in Yuncheng.

Why didn't the Xuanjia Army recruit him back then?

I would be willing to exchange ten Guan Junyangs for Zhao Xing... Xia Jing thought silently in his heart, but smiled and patted Guan Junyang on the shoulder:

"Hahaha, what are you talking about, Brother Guan? You are not someone else, you can definitely do it! You have unlimited potential, even ten Zhao Xinglai may not be able to compare to you."

In the world of soldiers, King Tianyan and King Lingde were meditating in the Hundred Soldiers Tower.

"Om~"

Suddenly, King Rahu appeared on the top floor.

When he appeared, the air around him seemed to become cold, and the expression on King Rāhu's face was like a thousand-year-old ice.

"Hmm? Luohou, what's wrong with you?" King Lingde looked at King Luohou in confusion, "Why are you so murderous? Who has offended you?"

"Humph, who else could it be?" King Luohou said coldly, "It's none other than our beloved King Liang."

"Luo Hou, did the King of Liang come to see you?" King Tian Yan asked, "Is he trying to use your connections to get someone in?"

"Yes." King Luohou nodded, "He wants to put two hundred sixth-rank generals into the armies of the five great cave heavens."

"He told me that it was five hundred." King Tianyan said with a smile, "It seems that he thinks you, Luohou, are not easy to mess with, so he even reported a lower number."

"There are a thousand people who come to me for discussion." King Lingde smiled bitterly. He was the prince among the three, and his status among the princes was lower than that of Luohou and Tianyan.

"Then you gave it?" asked King Tianyan.

"No." King Lingde shook his head. "It took a lot of persuasion to persuade him to go back."

"What else do you want to say?" King Luohou waved his hands and sat down: "If you don't agree, then don't agree. This is the rule of the military world. What else can I say?"

It was obvious that Luohou and King Liang had an unpleasant argument, and his tone was very stiff when he mentioned King Liang.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him." King Tianyan smiled and said, "Let's talk about something happy, such as the last bet."

King Tianyan and King Luohou once made a bet based on the performance of Xia Jing and Zhao Xing and set the stakes for the seventh-rank magic weapon.

King Tianyan bet that the two would be granted the title of marquis in the first batch, and of the second rank, while King Luohou bet that they would not be granted the title.

"Zhao Xing has come out of retreat." King Tian Yan said with a smile, "And he has gained more than 80,000 military merits in one day. Now he has entered the top 5,000 on the seventh-grade list."

“……” King Rāhu was speechless.

It seems that the happy things that King Tianyan said only apply to himself.

However, Luohou was not angry. He had a very good relationship with King Tianyan. After being interrupted like this, the unpleasantness he had just experienced with King Liang faded.

"Zhao Xing came out of seclusion after such a long time, but he gained more than 80,000 military merits in one day?" King Luohou asked, "How did it happen? It is impossible for a seventh-rank military minister to complete his monthly duties so quickly."

"According to the battle report, this kid and Long Xiao of the Divine Might Army were on their way to the military town when they discovered a group of Sand Clan members who were about to launch a surprise attack on a supply city of the Navy."

King Lingde explained: "In the end, Zhao Xing and Long Xiao followed and caught us off guard."

King Luohou waved his hand, and a ground mirror floated in front of him, and Zhao Xing's meritorious record quickly appeared on it.

The Swordfish flying boat has a recording function similar to the Mirage Pearl.

Even outside the territory of the Great Zhou, out of the monitoring range of the military community, the method of recording military exploits is very complete.

"Huh? A fifth-level Nether Flame warship hidden in the strong wind layer, and he can actually sense the tail flame left by the Nether Flame warship?" King Luohou looked at the ground mirror.

"After he came out of seclusion, his strength was much stronger than when he was in Cloud City."

"It's also a matter of luck." Tian Yan said, "If it was a quarter of an hour later, no matter how powerful he is, he wouldn't be able to detect the trace of the Nether Flame warship from the strong wind layer."

"Luck is also a part of strength." King Luohou said, "There are three kinds of people in the world. One kind is the mediocre people who can't grasp the opportunities that are right in front of them. When they are lucky, their lives don't change much, and they have no idea how many opportunities they have missed in their lives. When they are unlucky, they will encounter major setbacks."

"The other type is a genius. When an opportunity comes, he seizes it immediately and creates a great situation."

"This Zhao Xing is the second type."

King Lingde laughed and said, "Luo Hou, what about the third type of people?"

King Luohou said: "The third type is a peerless genius who can actively create opportunities even when there are none."

King Tianyan said: "Luo Hou, look at the seventh-rank list, who can be called a peerless genius?"

King Luohou shook his head and said, "Among the seventh-rank ones, there is not a single one. However, the sixth-rank Lü Yuanwei can be considered a peerless genius."

"He achieved a million military merits in 20 days. Judging from the route he pioneered, it is impossible for the Thunder God Army to achieve such a great result."

"The Golden Feather King's Court retreated very quickly, and there weren't many enemies in his direction."

"However, Lv Yuanwei led his men across the Extremely Scorching Desert and lured the Golden Feather Royal Court's royal family 'Hal' with a small group of men to hunt him down."

"In the end, Hal jumped into his encirclement. Two hundred thousand people were killed, and even Hal didn't escape."

King Lingde nodded: "Indeed, he killed Hal, not only did he accomplish great merit, but he also disrupted the deployment of the Golden Feather King's Court."

"Another 3,000 miles is the mining area rich in 'Qing Gang Crystal'. Before we could dig through it, we were threatened by Lv Yuanwei."

"Now the Jinyu Royal Court has moved its troops over there, trying to slow down Lv Yuanwei's pace."

"There was no chance to gain merit in the West County route, but Lv Yuanwei opened up the situation. He has no shortage of heads to chop off now."

Tian Yan Wang said: "I say, Seventh Rank, why are you talking about Lv Yuanwei? Qi Yuanjun, Pang Zheng of the Origin Cave Heaven, and Yi Rong of the Yuanhua Cave Heaven, aren't they peerless geniuses? They also have impressive records."

Luo Hou shook his head: "They are a strong army, they just seized the opportunity. Although they are geniuses, they cannot be called peerless geniuses."

"How do they compare to Zhao Xing?" King Lingde also joined the discussion.

"In terms of talent and strength, these people are naturally stronger." King Luohou said, "In terms of military strength, the Zhaoyuan Army and Yuanhua Army are also stronger than the Shenwei Army."

"Zhao Xing will have few opportunities to gain military merit while staying in City No. 92."

"Unless he is lucky enough to encounter this kind of thing every time and seize the opportunity every time, then he will have a chance to surpass the geniuses in these powerful armies."

King Tianyan also nodded. Although he bet that Zhao Xing would be among the first batch to be granted a title of nobility, he still agreed with King Luohou's analysis.

"That may not be the case." King Lingde suddenly said, "Look, this kid's military exploits are starting to increase again."

"Just now, the military mirror showed that two hours ago, he submitted a general mission and received 5,000 military merits."

"Now two hours have passed, and he actually submitted it again, another 5,000 military merits!"

King Luohou and King Tianyan looked at the ground mirror in surprise. As expected, Zhao Xing's military merits had become 96,000!

King Lingde was a little confused: "Isn't it said that the general tasks assigned to the military ministers by the military are generally difficult? Is his speed... reasonable?"
