"If I had such a treasure, having to constantly guard against others’ scheming, I wouldn’t know where to hide it! So, there’s a good chance that the Jade Emperor doesn’t carry this treasure with him everywhere, especially in crowded places with many people, after all, it’s not a battle artifact! That means, the jade basin you brought back is very likely the ’Wealth God’s Jade Basin’." Stormrage chuckled and said, "Street adventurers and our national leaders are different; they roam the streets, making friends, mingling with all sorts of people, but I’m different, I stay at home waiting for others to come and curry favor with me! So, there’s no chance for clever thieves to get an opportunity!"
"But... even if that thing is the ’Wealth God’s Jade Basin’, it’s useless if we don’t know how to use it!" Yitiao rolled his eyes, thinking if the Jade Emperor even loses the ’Wealth God’s Jade Basin’, then the Silk Continent would be in chaos; a cornered dog will leap over a wall, let alone a powerful leader like the Jade Emperor.
"Come with me; we’ll soon find out if it’s the ’Wealth God’s Jade Basin’ and whether it can be used." Stormrage tilted his head towards Yitiao.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of trick their boss was up to.
Not long after, Stormrage and Yitiao returned, bringing with them a beautiful woman with a colorful dress and auburn long hair.
The beautiful woman’s voluptuous figure was striking, with a high belly and a radiant glow unique to a mother.
"Hello, boss lady." Even the simple-minded ones could tell that this was Tan Ya, the Coral Beauty—transformed by a ’Wizard’s Morphing Spell’ and then permanently shaped by the ’Grand Impression Flame Sculpting’.
"Hello everyone." Tan Ya nodded kindly to all her people, her eyes flowing with countless charms.
Although the ’Wizard’s Morphing Spell’ can constrain all elemental powers and, after being permanently shaped, Tan Ya, who was enlightened with wisdom by Old Liu, could no longer become a qualified priest, the knowledge of past priests remained intact in her mind, allowing her to communicate without any obstacles.
"Second, help your sister-in-law tidy up, make her face look as close as possible to before." Stormrage waved to Kaka.
"No problem, regardless of how she transforms, sister-in-law is always so charming!" Kaka let out a mischievous laugh but immediately received a slap from his father.
Duke Rivaraldo was sulking because, as Richard predicted, after Kaka left the bone-linked treasure box with the royal family, King Dubin sent a message that due to the long distance, the Dubinians were powerless to aid Beamon. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveIꜰire.net
"Bring that jade basin over to me." Old Liu, unaware his foresight had caused the Archdruid great psychological stress, accepted the battlefield memo handed to him by Chief of Staff Rovi and spoke to the officers.
Just after glancing at the battlefield memo, Stormrage’s brow furrowed.
Unexpectedly, the battle with the Flower Court exposed so many deficiencies in the current Summer Palace Guard.
With the acceleration of modernization, the Summer Palace Guard has been mostly fighting against low-level opponents, except for desert battles; in this scenario, zero casualties is no longer an impressive achievement.
However, shortcomings remain shortcomings; if pitted against equally elite national machinery, these shortcomings, once exploited by the opponent, could become fatal flaws.
Rovi laid out the points meticulously, summarizing almost all the types of Summer Palace soldiers.
The first shortcoming: The firepower attack of the civil-military sacrificial group severely lacks layers, its efficiency is extremely low, and waste is particularly evident from repetitive strikes. This shortcoming can also be seen in the mage units of the second-line corps, suggesting a unified training system and reallocating half of the Hooke Fire Control Team to the sacrificial group.
The second shortcoming: The attack range of the Moonstone Mirror Cannon handlers of the Phantom Beast Knights is vast and powerful, but the numbers are insufficient, and the firing counts are limited; the laser mirror cannon, though a unit attack weapon, has incredibly fierce burning power, almost instantly killing mid-range magical beasts, strongly suggesting a massive procurement of moonstone and laser jewels, and batch production of mirror cannons.
The third shortcoming: The draw strength of the heavy bows of the Punisher Corps is generally too strong, leading to excessive penetration of arrows and insufficient spin, suggesting the arms factory produce T-shaped arrowheads to increase the kill diameter.
The fourth shortcoming: In siege battles, the fan-shaped killing of the bird-wing Fei Lian crossbow is dominant, currently only five units exist, suggesting an increase; the killing effect and deterrence of the alcohol flamethrower are the kings of the ground, suggesting extracting more from the eighty-seven sprinkler fire extinguishers to supplement the military; the physical combat power of the phantom beast dragon is amazing, but the lack of uniformity in priest command should be strengthened with formation learning.
The fifth shortcoming: The illusionists among the Magic Protectors are seriously under-trained; symptoms like vomiting at the battlefront appeared in this battle, almost failing to play the role of confusing the enemy, training on basic subjects and psychological adaptation must be added immediately.
The sixth shortcoming: A trend of lavish wastefulness is rising; the thousands of gold coins per piece of magic explosive arrows, disposable black silver alcohol barrels, and double-powder gourd should be economized.
Summary: The biggest highlight of this battle was the discovery of a scholarly weapon in the subterranean of the Seven Treasures Pagoda. The ’Thunder Wine Barrel’ of the Panda Warriors generates a powerful carbonized current upon contact with the enemy, apparently, like the Wina gloves and Mowyun lamp, it belongs to energy weapons rather than magic element weapons. It is unclear whether the remaining trident and shaman claws among the scholarly weapons are also the same type of ancient energy weapons, recommending thorough investigation and distribution.
