Seeing that the enemy was completely annihilated, Liu Guanfeng shouted to his guards, "All squad leaders, immediately report the casualties."
The remaining squad leaders quickly gathered their surviving opponents and assembled their teams, reporting the casualty numbers to Liu Guanfeng as fast as possible. This battle lasted less than an hour. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce suffered three serious injuries and around twenty-seven or eight minor injuries, with no fatalities.
On the other hand, the New Home Chamber of Commerce had five Advanced Knights captured. The Song Instructor had both arms rendered useless, while the Season Instructor's Dantian was shattered, leaving him incapacitated. The Snow Instructor's Dantian was disrupted by Little Black's lightning strike, meaning he could no longer improve his strength and would gradually decline over time. Instructor Ma had been roasted by xp and showed no signs of regaining consciousness. The only one uninjured was the Chief Instructor. For safety reasons, Liu Guanfeng had ordered these individuals not to kill any Advanced Knights, but all Mounts had to be eliminated. So when everything quieted down, the camp was filled with the corpses of various magical beasts. All five Advanced Knights were now high-level warriors, and even the guards were without their Mounts.
Liu Guanfeng coldly looked at the five people lying before him and slowly walked towards the still-conscious Chief Instructor. Upon seeing Liu Guanfeng approach, the Chief Instructor's demeanor changed: "What do you want? Don't come any closer."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly, "You are the leader of this operation, right?"
"I'll tell you anything you want to know; please don't kill me."
"Kill you? I can't do something so cruel. But how do you explain bringing people to raid my camp? Moreover, having such an Advanced Knight by your side is never a safe situation. As for the information you want to give me..." Liu Guanfeng deliberately elongated his tone, causing the Chief Instructor to feel a chill.
"I'm not interested in hearing it; I already know what you want to say. I'll leave him to you, just don't kill him."
"Don't worry. My subordinates are precise." Cui Zhongyi said as he slowly moved his Qimei Staff towards the Chief Instructor's Dantian.
At this point, the Chief Instructor had lost all his former authority and shook his head in panic: "Please don't cripple my martial arts; I'm begging you!" After letting out a sound that was no longer human-like, he fainted on the ground.
Then Liu Guanfeng looked at xp: "You should be able to use the same method, right?"
xp nodded. Immediately, xp's three small tails turned golden and leaped high into the air before striking fiercely at Instructor Ma's Dantian. The pain jolted Instructor Ma awake as he let out a miserable scream: "Ah!" He then succumbed to another wave of excruciating pain and fainted again.
"Big Black, you should take care of things on your end as well."
Little Black's voice reached Liu Guanfeng's mind in the Sea: "Xiaofeng, I've already taken care of it here. This woman won't be able to mobilize her Fighting Qi in a short time, and she won't be able to gather her Fighting Qi in the future either. Moreover, each time she uses it, it will diminish until there’s nothing left, turning her into a useless person."
Liu Guanfeng nodded at Little Black: "As expected, your methods are impressive, Senior Brother."
"All squad leaders, gather everyone and tie them up with ropes. Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot; report to me afterward. However, no abuse is allowed. Do you understand?"
"Yes," twenty squad leaders replied in unison.
"Bring the three seriously injured ones to me," Liu Guanfeng issued another command.
Before long, three guards were brought to Liu Guanfeng's side. All three were Intermediate Knights, and their injuries were similar—they had been hurt while saving a comrade whose life was about to be taken by the enemy. They sacrificed their own lives to save others, which Liu Guanfeng greatly appreciated.
Liu Guanfeng took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and said to one of the injured guards, "Apply the medicine in this bottle to their wounds; they’ll be fine by tomorrow."
The three guards lying on the ground said to Liu Guanfeng, "Thank you, President."
"What are you thanking me for? Since you all followed me, each of you has become my brother. You were injured while saving your comrades; how could I just stand by and watch? Go rest and heal; a good sleep will do you good."
After ensuring the three seriously injured were taken care of, Liu Guanfeng turned to Cui Zhongyi and asked, "Brother Cui, how was your training today?"
Cui Zhongyi chuckled: "Usually when I train with you, I just end up getting beaten up; it's almost made me lose confidence. But today when I fought with them, I realized it wasn't that my strength had declined—it's that your skills are too high. Now I understand just how powerful that Daruma Staff Technique you taught me really is. I can handle three or five people like those from earlier without much trouble."
"Senior Brother, do you know that the Daruma Staff Technique I taught you is a very famous martial art? I can confidently say that you're the only one who knows it in the entire Knight continent. You'll gradually come to appreciate its power."
Cui Zhongyi looked at the Qimei Staff in his hand and nodded repeatedly. "I can already understand some things now. Thank you, Junior Brother."
"Thank me for what? I'm just bringing the Master to teach you martial arts. If you want to thank someone, go back and thank the Master."
"Xiaofeng, when can we return to Knight Continent 6?"
Liu Guanfeng thought for a moment. "Maybe in a while. We should be able to return within two years."
"Well then, let's make our mark on this continent while we can."
"I will definitely fulfill my Senior Brother's wish. Come on, let's go to the tent and drink. After fighting for a while, I'm actually a bit hungry. Someone, heat up the leftover food or roast something new. After eating, we all go to sleep."
Liu Guanfeng and Cui Zhongyi returned to their tent. Before long, the aroma of roasted meat wafted in from outside. The guards had been working hard all day and were hungry, so they cleaned the Mount of the New Home Chamber of Commerce guards and placed it on the grill. Soon after, two guards came in carrying a whole roasted sheep, placing it on Liu Guanfeng's table, and then took out two bags of wine from their pockets and set them on top before turning to leave.
After the guards exited, Liu Guanfeng tossed one bag of wine to Cui Zhongyi. Cui Zhongyi opened the bag and took a sip before saying, "Xiaofeng, aren't you going to interrogate those people?"
Liu Guanfeng shook his head with a smile. "What’s there to interrogate? They are just from the New Home Chamber of Commerce sent to ambush us. They didn't expect that this time they would suffer greatly. Not only did they lose a lot of mid-level knights, but even five advanced knights like instructors were taken down."
"Xiaofeng, how do you plan to deal with these people?"
"What else can I do? It's simple; just hand them over to the authorities."
"Hand them over to the authorities? Wouldn't that just end up benefiting the New Home Chamber of Commerce?"
"I intend to return these people directly to the New Home Chamber of Commerce."
"What do I need to return to them?"
"Senior Brother, think about it. If I hand these people over to the authorities and inform them about our ambush, then the New Home Chamber of Commerce will have to spend a fortune to redeem these people in order to keep this matter from leaking out. They will also need to invest a lot of money to silence those officials. Even a large Merchant Guild like the New Home Chamber of Commerce would struggle with that, right?"
"Xiaofeng, have you considered what if the people from the New Home Chamber of Commerce refuse to redeem them?"
"Refuse? Then they might as well wait for death. Our goods are meant for Severe Winter; if they dare to rob us, Severe Winter will take care of them without us needing to lift a finger. Moreover, if they neglect these guards, it will demoralize other guards as well. If we spread a bit of rumor, it’s likely that the New Home Chamber of Commerce won’t have any guards left in the future."
"You really think things through, Junior Brother."
"I can't help it; this is all forced out by them. I'm just acting in self-defense." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng and Cui Zhongyi took a sip together. Liu Guanfeng and Cui Zhongyi then removed four lamb legs and handed the entire sheep over to you, Little Black, and Cui Zhongyi's Mutated Wind Wolf.
Little Black divided the sheep into three equal parts, and the other two magical beasts had no objections at all; after all, they were strong and it was an equal division. The three magical beasts lowered their heads and began their late-night snack.
After taking a sip of wine, Liu Guanfeng said to Cui Zhongyi, "Senior Brother, have you thought about what you want to do once everything is over?"
Cui Zhongyi pondered for a moment before replying, "I have thought about it. Once everything has passed, I want to find a mountain peak and establish my own sect. I want to pass on the martial arts that Master and you taught me to others; our knightly martial arts on this continent are really too unstructured."
Liu Guanfeng laughed heartily: "Don't worry, Senior Brother. If that day really comes, Younger Brother will definitely support you wholeheartedly. At that time, I'll also teach you some simple foundational martial arts routines and Mind Methods."
"Then thank you in advance for your help, Senior Brother."
"Do we need to be so polite between brothers?"
"Then I won't be polite anymore; let's raise our glasses." Cui Zhongyi smiled as he lifted his wine pouch, and the two brothers enjoyed a hearty drink together. Soon, all four lamb legs had become their meal, and the three magical beasts finished their share of food as well.
"Senior Brother, it's getting late; we should rest now. I hope we can reach Winter City tonight."
"Then Junior Brother, you should sleep first. I'll go check on those prisoners."
"Alright." After saying that, Liu Guanfeng lay down in his spot to rest.
Cui Zhongyi got up and went to the Barracks, looking at a group of people being guarded by over twenty guards, squatting to the side. Seeing nothing unusual among them, Cui Zhongyi returned to his tent.
After a few hours of rest, Liu Guanfeng appeared in the center of the camp, full of energy. In front of him were all the guards from the New Home Chamber of Commerce captured early in the morning. Among them, five Advanced Knights had already regained consciousness and were kneeling at the front of the group, glaring at Liu Guanfeng with resentment.
"What’s wrong? Do you Five People still want to fight me? When you brought your men to our Chinese Chamber of Commerce camp, you should have anticipated this outcome. You were just too blindly confident in your own strength. Sending over five hundred people to ambush our camp—let me tell you, even if another five hundred came, your fate would be the same. You should be grateful that I didn’t kill you today."
At this point, everyone had finished washing up and had eaten breakfast, preparing themselves.
Liu Guanfeng had already sent word to the drivers yesterday, telling them not to come out and watch casually; otherwise, they would bear the consequences. Although such a scene was rare, the drivers were not bold enough to risk their lives for a spectacle.
Thus, the drivers obediently stayed in their tents until they cautiously emerged under the soldiers' guidance in the morning. When they saw nearly four hundred people kneeling on the ground, they were stunned.
Although some people died in yesterday's battle, thanks to Liu Guanfeng's efforts, the number of fatalities was not high; most were injured, with many suffering serious wounds. Now, there were nearly four hundred people kneeling before Liu Guanfeng.
