Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 942 - 581: Great Victory

Victory is born from success; defeat, from death. With enemy generals lying dead and Xu Yang mounted on his horse, his spear across his lap, the fighting spirit in him soared. None dared meet his gaze, and even several Jin Country generals kneeled and bowed their heads, conceding defeat and submitting.

Seeing this, Xu Yang said no more. He turned towards the city gates and bellowed loudly, "Accept their surrender!"

Upon hearing these words, it was then that Zhang Yan atop the city wall came to her senses, and accepted the enemy's surrender.

Although Xu Yang had been key to the victory, as the lord of this territory, the final decision still lay in her hands.

With the request accepted, the enemy army surrendered completely. The remaining dozen or so members of the Guard Army and the entire Escort Army's Sweat Blood Armored Horses disappeared into streaks of light, and several Jin Country generals were enveloped in radiance, turning into several cards.

"The enemy has been thoroughly defeated, you have successfully defended your territory, and earned a glorious victory!"

"Earned 100,000 Experience Points, 300 Reputation!"

"Acquired special spoils of war—Hero Contract (Epic)"

"Acquired special spoils of war—Jin Country's Stable (Rare)"

"Acquired special spoils of war—Jin Country's Blacksmith Shop (Rare)"

"Acquired Troop Card—Hezha Meng'an Guard Army (Prisoner) x19!"

"Acquired Troop Card—Hezha Meng'an Escort Army (Prisoner) x28!"

"Acquired Troop Card—Jin Country Iron Cavalry (Prisoner) x3!"

"Acquired Troop Card—Jin Country Sweat Blood Armored Horse (Prisoner) x35!"

"Acquired Hero Contract—Wanyan Hehe (Prisoner)!"

"Acquired Hero Contract—Wanyan Tie Mu (Prisoner)!"

"..."

The cold voice of the Heaven-Reaching Tower came through, accompanied by the refreshing battle record data, making Zhang Yan's head spin.

As the lord, she was the biggest winner of this battle; she gained a massive amount of experience and reputation as well as numerous special spoils of war, and with the captured troops and heroes, she theoretically made a killing.

Why only theoretically?

Because...

"You've assisted an ally in defending their territory and achieved a glorious victory."

"Earned 30,000 Experience Points, 100 reputation value."

"Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers (Elite) can now be upgraded!"

"..."

Compared to Zhang Yan's full harvest, Xu Yang's gains seemed modest, only garnering some experience and reputation.

But it didn't matter to him. With a wave of his hand, the Corpse Body of Wanyan Xiyin dissipated, transforming into streams of white light that fell into his hand.

Equipment Introduction: Troops have not moved, but provision has gone ahead!

...

As an Epic Hero, Wanyan Xiyin dropped three pieces of equipment, two top quality, and one epic, which was not a huge loot explosion but it was in line with his status as an Epic Hero.

After all, this was not a solo fight, even though Wanyan Xiyin had been slain single-handedly by him, but because it was a territorial defense battle, the crowd behind him also participated in combat and shared the experience, so both the experience rewards and the quality of the spoils of war were somewhat decreased.

There was no helping it; after all, with his current strength, he still couldn't solo a troop of five to six hundred elite soldiers. This time he had to rely on the city defenses and Zhang Yan and others' desperate effort to turn the tide at the last moment.

The three items, the Tiger Talisman and the Supply Car, need no further discussion; they are the equipment that a proper Charm-based Lord would need. Although he is a force-focused solo player, he still needs to make up for this weakness, after all, this is the Lord World, and it's impossible to keep soloing indefinitely.

As for that Ten Thousand Arrows Military Book, an Epic Skill Book that's also a legion attack skill, it's highly valuable and sought after. He could consider selling it for resources.

Don't ask why he doesn't use it himself; the Yellow Turban Civilization doesn't have "archers" as a troop type. Plus, with attribute and skill limitations, it would take ages for this skill to become effective.

Rather than let it collect dust on a shelf, it's better to sell it directly to strengthen his power as needed.

...

Having decided on the spoils of war, Xu Yang immediately rode back to meet up with Zhang Yan and the others.

"Yang!"

At that moment, Zhang Yan and the others had also climbed down from the city wall, leading the wounded troops to clean up the battlefield and pick up the various spoils of war that had been dropped.

"Xu Yang!"

"Yang!"

Upon seeing Xu Yang approaching, Zhang Yan was the first to greet him, with Feng Cheng following closely behind, overly excited, looking him and his Sweat Blood Armored Horse up and down.

"What kind of horse is this, it looks so cool, it couldn't be a legendary mount, could it?"

"And the move you just used, what skill is that? It's like you had a cheat on, damage immunity, speed increase, with criticals for instant kills, this isn't ordinary hacking and slashing!"

"Wait, you don't even have Talents, where did you get those items and skills? Could there actually be a cheat to use, or did you get them from soloing? Even that wouldn't make sense, would it?"

"This spear, this horse, and that skill, they don't even match the drawing style. This won't do, I have to practice my martial arts and go soloing too..."

They are worried about their brother's hardship, yet envious of their brother's luxury car!

Looking at Xu Yang, Feng Cheng was excited, beyond words, while the people behind him remained silent.

Xu Yang just smiled, unconcerned, his eyes fixed only on Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan caught on immediately and opened up the virtual screen.

"According to our previous agreement, all the gains from the enemies you've slain in battle belong to you alone, in addition to that you also have the priority to select three items from the overall spoils of war."

"This is the data from the Sky-reaching Tower; you have killed three enemy Heroes, seventy guards, thirty-two Iron Cavalry, eighty-five crooked horsemen, and twenty-four members of the Escort Army. All the spoils of war they dropped belong to you."

"Besides, the enemy chose to surrender because you killed their Commander, so the prisoners should belong to you as well. There are nineteen guards, twenty-nine members of the Escort Army, three Iron Cavalry, thirty crooked horsemen, and four Heroes in total."

"This is the inventory of the overall spoils of war after excluding your gains; you can choose three items from it."

Zhang Yan went through the tally, directly allocating a large portion of the spoils of war to Xu Yang. The people behind were even more silent, reluctantly conceding, unable to do otherwise.

After all, this was the pre-battle agreement, and they had even signed a contract protected by the Sky-reaching Tower. No one could manipulate the rules or embezzle rewards.

Even if there was a way, they wouldn't dare to try, because all that had just happened was still fresh in their minds. The previous trivial mockeries could still be considered an expression of youthful pride. To push further would be to court death.

For the Lords who belong to the same Sky-reaching Tower, although the Tower doesn't encourage warfare, it doesn't completely forbid it either. As long as one is willing to pay the price, they can wage war against each other, even if they are both Lords of Heaven-Connecting Tower or Lords of the Demon Abyss.

So, better to endure it. Let him take the bigger share, they thought. They couldn't have won this battle without him, perhaps even losing the territory altogether. Compared to a total loss, now not only do they get Zhang Yan's mercenary fees, but they also share the experience and spoils of war. What's there to complain about?

While everyone comforted themselves, Xu Yang kept quiet and started selecting from the total spoils of war.
