Chapter 585: Chapter 242: The King of Donghu Offers His Head—A Gift Too Good to Refuse!
Not only the King of Donghu!
Beside him, all the Eastern Hu Army behind him looked at the scene ahead, all with bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.
However.
Beneath the hatred.
Deep within their hearts also surged an indescribable fear that made them tremble from head to toe.
Because before their eyes.
Was an imposing Jing Guan, tall enough and broad enough.
Anyone who saw this monument made from countless human heads would have their heart and spirit thrown into disarray.
Because this scene was truly too terrifying.
Especially for the Eastern Hu Army, the intimidation was even greater.
“People of Qin.”
“How dare you do this?”
“Old grudges and new hatred.”
“I will never forgive this.” The King of Donghu gritted his teeth, filled with hatred.
Then.
The King of Donghu shouted loudly: “Dismantle it, dismantle it for me.”
“They were brave warriors of our tribe, they were good sons of our tribe.”
“Let their heads be buried in the ground.”
Upon hearing this.
The Eastern Hu Army quickly moved towards the Jing Guan.
For them.
At this moment, their hearts also trembled.
Looking at the Jing Guan with their former tribesmen covered beneath snow, many had not even turned into skeletons, many still retained the flesh of their heads, though already decayed, making it even more eerie.
Some Eastern Hu soldiers could even clearly see these heads staring at them with eyes wide open.
Through these empty eyes seemed to be able to sense their pain and despair before death.
The shock of the Jing Guan.
placed these foreign tribes fully into a psychological depression.
And the movement of the foreign tribes.
Naturally was reported back by Qin Army scouts patrolling the border.
North of Xiangping City.
Away from the settlements.
Thousands of graves marked with wooden tablets spread out here.
In front of the graves.
Zhao Feng, with thousands of soldiers on the Northern Frontier expedition, stood here.
Each had already changed into new military uniforms and battle armor.
Every face had an expression of solemnity.
Today.
These brothers who fought side by side on the Northern Frontier for four months were here to bid farewell to the heroic souls who fought for the nation, for the Huaxia people.
“Brothers.”
“Four months ago, I, Zhao Feng, led you on the Northern Frontier expedition, led you into the land of foreign tribes.”
“You told me, no regrets.”
“Indeed.”
“As Qin soldiers, defending the territory, slaying the strong enemies is our duty.”
“No regrets in death.”
“I promised to do my utmost to bring you back.”
“Though we returned, it was not perfect after all.”
“Now, words are of no use.”
“Brothers.”
“Homeward bound.”
Zhao Feng gazed at the thousands of graves before him, speaking loudly.
In the next moment.
Zhao Feng shouted loudly: “Brothers, returning in spirit, homeward bound!”
“Returning in spirit.”
“Returning in spirit…”
The soldiers behind Zhao Feng shouted loudly.
Along with these loud shouts.
Countless paper money scattered, falling around the graves in the wind.
The sky filled with mourning ribbons.
The sky filled with paper money.
And the falling white snow from the sky.
This.
Maybe it was a way to seek solace in their hearts.
Summoning souls back home.
But Zhao Feng knew clearly.
The souls of those soldiers who died in foreign lands would not return.
Because Zhao Feng witnessed with his own eyes those soldiers’ souls returning to the earth after their deaths, swallowed by invisible rules, perhaps already entered into reincarnation.
“Brothers.”
“Rest assured.”
“Your origin, your families, I have remembered them.”
“Zhao Feng solemnly swears here.”
“For those souls who died with me in the Northern Frontier, I will care for their families.”
“This is Zhao Feng’s promise.” Zhao Feng said to the thousands of graves, it was his final guarantee to these soldiers.
Then.
Zhao Feng turned around to look at the many Sharp Warriors behind him.
“All soldiers, heed my command.”
Zhao Feng gazed at everyone and shouted.
“Subordinates await the command.”
Thousands of Sharp Warriors bowed in salute.
“Expedition to the Northern Frontier, striking down foreign tribes, this battle slew countless foreigners, greatly damaging their primordial qi, leaving them without the strength to invade Shenzhou on a large scale for five years, your contributions are immeasurable.”
“Now.”
“I, Zhao Feng, with the command of a Senior General, promote all meritorious warriors.”
“All expedition soldiers.”
“Each shall be promoted two ranks and advanced one official grade.”
“This order takes effect immediately after returning to each army.” Zhao Feng announced in a commanding voice.
As a Senior General.
He could appoint to the ranks below Deputy General.
Not to mention this expedition to the Northern Frontier, every soldier had achieved meritorious deeds.
Zhao Feng’s promotion was authorized by the command of a Senior General, when returned to the Qin Capital, Zhao Feng would personally request rewards for them, at least gain some gold and silver for them.
After all, this achievement was immense.
“Thanks, Senior General.”
“Swear to follow Senior General to the death.”
The soldiers shouted in unison.
Every soldier had a trace of reluctance in their eyes.
To them.
This battle was fought too fiercely, following Zhao Feng, the soldiers went wherever they were led.
They were the elite selected from the Cavalry Camp by Zhao Feng four months ago, now with the surprise attack on the foreign tribes settled, they naturally returned to each army.
Of course.
With so many promoted.
If the Cavalry Regiment couldn’t accommodate them, they would be transferred to other main battle camps.
Their battle achievements were enough to inspire the entire army, each Sharp Warrior was a hero.
No one would oppose their promotion.
Just then!
“Senior General.”
“Scouts patrolling the border have sent urgent reports.”
“Foreign tribes were spotted at the location of the Jing Guan, they are dismantling it now.” Tu Sui arrived quickly on horseback and reported loudly.
“Finally, they come.”
Zhao Feng smiled without any concern.
