Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Defend Giant Dragon City

Deducting military merits is the biggest taboo within the Jade Cauldron Sect. If Lin Chen finds out, he will surely be furious and impose punishment.

Afterward, Wang Yun led the army and occupied Dragon City, set camp within, and began integrating the resources there.

However, just as Wang Yun had anticipated, the resources within Dragon City were sparse, most having been taken away by those from the Red Soul Hall, leaving not much behind.

Yet the biggest problem Wang Yun was facing at present was the lack of arrow feathers, making it impossible to continue attacking other cities in subsequent battles.

As night passed, Wang Yun awaited the arrival of supplies the next day.

However, before the resources arrived, Lin Chen came.

When Lin Chen arrived, he was somewhat surprised that Wang Yun and others had already taken Dragon City.

Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield, so Lin Chen himself was naturally aware.

In his view, the frontline should still need some time to take down Dragon City, especially since Wang Yun and the others were supposed to be in a state of resource scarcity.

Still, Wang Yun and his men had taken down Dragon City, which was something of a pleasant surprise to Lin Chen.

Because in Lin Chen’s strategy, Dragon City has a tremendous role.

The reason is simply that Dragon City is a central city gathered around the Red Soul Hall; starting from Dragon City, whichever city in the Red Soul Hall one goes to will be closest in terms of time.

Therefore, Lin Chen planned to capture Dragon City and use it as a transfer point, transporting all resources from the Jade Cauldron Sect to this place, thus ensuring the fastest possible delivery of resources and supplies everywhere.

By then, with the transportation of the Flying Boats, it would basically ensure that any frontline can receive resources directly within a day.

"Young Master Lin Chen, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Lin Chen’s arrival, Wang Yun was a bit surprised and promptly stepped forward to pay respects.

Wang Yun looked at Lin Chen, feeling somewhat anxious inside; jokingly, in the past, when he and Xu Ma’an drank too much, they irresponsibly gossiped about Lin Chen, inadvertently spreading rumors about Wang Xuan and Lin Chen within the Jade Cauldron Sect.

This had kept Wang Yun perpetually uneasy, wondering if one day Lin Chen might take revenge against him.

However, it seemed that this day had finally come.

Lin Chen gave Wang Yun a deep look; this guy was already an old disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect when Lin Chen first arrived, yet his aptitude was mediocre back then, showing little potential, but he possessed courage. Previously, without any big battles in the Jade Cauldron Sect, he had no opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.

However, as Lin Chen’s ambition grew, Wang Yun’s opportunities also increased, and his leadership skills began to emerge.

In just five years, Wang Yun could be openly friendly with Xu Ma’an, sitting together to drink and eat meat.

And all of this was granted to him by Lin Chen; without Lin Chen, there’d be no present for him.

"Wang Yun, you’re so afraid of my arrival. Could it be that you’ve been speaking ill of me behind my back again?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Wang Yun.

Last time this guy spread such rumors within the Jade Cauldron Sect, it had caused significant trouble for Lin Chen, making Xu Lianyu, Wang Yilin, Zhao Rushi, and others quite displeased with him.

"No, absolutely not. Young Master, you must believe me."

"I, Wang Yun, have the most tight-lipped mouth, never gossiping about others behind their backs. Old Yuan can testify for me."

Wang Yun spoke seriously, then pointed to Yuan Wenqi beside him.

Yuan Wenqi, seeing this, was momentarily speechless, silently thinking that Wang Yun had unwisely dragged him into this; he had no strategy in this area.

"As long as there’s none, that’s good. Right, for the rest of this period, do not attack other cities. Just defend this Dragon City for me."

Lin Chen looked at Wang Yun and spoke lightly.

Lin Chen had already heard about Yuan He’s visit to the Merit Hall, claiming that Wang Yun had too heavy military merits.

In this regard, while Lin Chen felt Wang Yun had not done wrong, as obtaining such significant military merits was indeed his skill.

Concerning Wang Yun’s ability to lead troops in battle, Lin Chen even felt genuine admiration from the heart. Despite his mediocre cultivation, even with elixirs improving aptitude, he barely reached the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm in cultivation, but once on the battlefield, he seemed like a changed man, decisive and strategic, commanding like a god.

It was precisely due to such talent that he garnered numerous military merits.

"Young Master, please no, I truly haven’t done anything to wrong you. Don’t punish me like this."

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s order for him to defend the area, Wang Yun realized he couldn’t go to other Red Soul Hall territories to fight, thereby unable to gain military merits.

Although defending the place was also a task and could earn some military merits, the largest source of military merits came from combat.

Preventing Wang Yun from going to battle was the greatest punishment for him.

"What do you mean by punishment? I have my reasons for ordering you to defend this place."

"I intend to make Dragon City my Jade Cauldron Sect’s transfer hub, naturally needing someone I trust to guard it."

Lin Chen looked at Wang Yun and spoke seriously.

Listening to Lin Chen’s words, Su Yun’s complexion changed, feeling somewhat touched, knowing Lin Chen considered him one of his most trusted people.

However, even despite this, Su Yun still preferred to go to war and earn military merits.

"Young Master, please no, keeping me in the city makes me uneasy; I’d rather head to the frontline and battle those heartless Red Soul Hall demon cultivators."

Wang Yun looked at Lin Chen and earnestly pleaded.

Knowing his talent was initially inferior to many, if he didn’t earn military merits to exchange for cultivation resources, he would fall behind.

"Why are you spouting so much nonsense? Military orders are as steadfast as a mountain, are you defying orders?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly, looking at Wang Yun and spoke sternly.

"Besides, you’re not ignorant of the current situation in the Jade Cauldron Sect; resources are extremely scarce, do you want to suddenly face insufficient resources in the subsequent battles with the Red Soul Hall?"

"Once the battle is halfway through and resources fall short, military merits may not amount to much; guarding Dragon City, I’ll credit you with some extra military merits."

Lin Chen looked at Wang Yun and spoke lightly.
