25. The will and inheritance

with the Tai Unit covering the general retreat path with ease the General party are safely get out into the forest where Lingxu waits for their arrival

cusping his hand together Lingxu despite the protest of Sulan and Taidu for him to not stand still stand and strongly cusp his hand and greet the general

"GENERAL I WELCOME YOU HERE IN YOUR RETURN AFTER BATTLE" Shout Lingxu kneeling and holding back his tears

seeing that, the Heilong army and Tai Unit combined immediately kneel and said the same line ""WE WELCOME THE GENERAL"" they shout loudly

"Young Lizard, as you can see I did not break my promise that I will see you when the battle finish right nfufufu?" Ouki said not even minding his gruesome wound

"it is as you said Old bird, hold that loss to your grave shall you" said Lingxu facing Ouki in the eyes

"General Heifu is my mentor and also one of man that gain my utmost respect, so I greet you as the descendants of Heifu, go and show the might of the Dragon once again Lingxu, I Ouki shall see your triumph General of Long" said Ouki trying his hardest to cusp his hand

Lingxu did not dissapoint him and immediately stand in his feet and cupping his hand again "I will see you on the heaven gate after I am done conquering all of China, so wait for me for a bit Old bird" said Lingxu smiling at Ouki

and then ouki turn his head towards Tou "Tou, you are to forbid even a single soul from the Ouki army to follow me into death, and that also applies to army commanders too" said Ouki

"you have followed me for so many years even your skill is not below mine to begin with, so I shall leave everything concerning my army in you frim here on, with Ryuukoku as a witness" said Ouki

both Tou and Ruukoku cusp their hand tightly "Yes sir" albeit with tears in Ryuukoku eyes

"Ouki Forgive me, its my over confidence that make you fall here" said Moubu

"is there your last word for me Moubu, nfufu you know from here on out you will be the symbol of Qin military might, so I hope you take this knowledge to your heart, after all there are so many strong commander and general from all of 6 state that might even be able to slay you" said Ouki to moubu which Moubu Nodded at that word

"Youngster shin, with your dream you shall aim for greatness, and you have talent for that, go and fight to get the title of Great general of Heaven with the Young lizard but do know that right now, he is the person that you should look up for and take note" said Ouki as he leave his glaive in Shin hands

"HEILONG AND TAI UNIT SCREAM TO THE HEAVENS TO ACCOMPANY THE GENERAL SOUL SO THAT THE HEAVEN KNOW THAT THE GREATEST GENERAL UNDER THE HEAVEN HAS COME TO THEIR GATE" Shout Lingxu

"""WE BID YOU FAREWELL O GREATEST GENERAL UNDER THE HEAVENS""" shout the entire people even their screams are heard by Riboku far far away from that place

with that the army go back to their home and the news of Ouki dead are heard all across of China with many people have different opinions on that matters many are sad, many are glad, and many are dissapointed

having said that the battle report also come to the royal Palace with that all of accomplishment are rewarded and even the Long army who also should not supposed to join that battle are pardoned and Lingxu immediately promoted to 5k man Commander because of his contribution with sending the Heilong unit and also giving important info via Eagle to the general in the front line

Taidu at the same time are promoted to 2k Man general because he managed to slay Zhao commander and perform at a stunning way of leading his man

with that Feng and Juton also managed to climb their way up using the merits they gain from that battle to climb the ranks with Feng having the same rank as Taidu, and Juton climb his way to 1k man Commanders

and because the total man in the Heilong unit exceed the norm with so many talent not wanting to leave their lord, Lingxu are proposed by the proposal as that he shall not be rewarded using wealth but instead be appointed straight into the General ranks

from then on the Heilong unit now known as Heilong army are permitted to have more soldier with 10k man as the required number and combined with Taidu, Feng and Juton mn would be totaling of 15k, but Lingxu is not satisfied because of that he want to rise his army to 20k in under 2 years which then get him a glare from Sulan and Yue

back in the Long Manor Lingxu is busy talking with Sulan and Yue while also recovering from his wound from the battle a week ago

"report" said Lingxu

"of the 10k man we sent to help the battle, 6.762 people return but 263 people are retired because of the severe injuries they get and some even have trauma from the battle" said Yue

"with that being said the Tai tribe from before agree to Join the Long Family and also bringing their warrior numbering 5k people at which 3k of them is young warrior in need of training and also all of them have yet to addapt to the our way of fighting and formation" she continue

"in total we need to recruit around 14k man at which we already post notice on all around the Qin state and with that Sen has notified us that we have manage to gather around 3k people and the number is still rising by second, and by your order we also contacted some tribe around the area and already begun some negotiation with them" she Continue again

"if we keep up with this by next 4 month then we will have the required man of 14 thousand" said her

Lingxu then look at Sulan "how about the Armor and equipment needed?"

"in terms of armor, the Mountains people are as you ordered will be the main infantry with us right now developing the heavy armor known as the Blood Armor and the number are increasing as we talk, and about weapon and ammo, we have enough to arms more than 30k man" said Sulan

"regarding Horse is what we need the most and I have sent people to start negotiation to buy batch of horse all around china, but with that being said including the salary and also food for the soldier, my lord, you need to prepare to sold the Long Manor if needed or if you think that 20k man are not enough" said Sulan glaring at him with the financial situation worsening after just 2 month of getting back

"haha, well give my order to the man that are have been trained for 3 month as so they will get into 500 man unit and clear out the area with 5000 man in rotation will be sent to the various battlefield led by our commander that who Taidu and Juton will choose" Lingxu said

"By the end of all this I wish to have 10k Cavalry, 5k Infantry and 3k Archer unit ready with the rest 2k shall be espionage, cooks, army physicians who at least able to give first aid and also a squire to handle the horses, while with that along the way we have 5k reserve unit that are ready to be used at anytime" said Lingxu giving out his view of the general plan

and with that Lingxu ends the meetings and start to make himself busy to handle various matter and making training regime for all the soldier who he will need

by then after the army are ready, the Heilong army will have the most elite and trained soldier all across of china its a start to the legend who will be told in the future of the Red blood Infantry, Black dust Cavalry and the Heavenly Bow of Long unit

with death of a talent from the past, gave out and setting the stage for a new talent for the future to shine brighter than all this is where it start, the start of his story as the greatest general who conquer the world
