    So excited, so thrilled, I want to shout along!


    Behind Du Ge, the emotions of more than a dozen Prenatal Realm experts were equally stirred.


    They were supported by the Fourth Prince,cking neither food nor clothing, but likewise, their lives were in someone else''s hands.


    They also wanted to fight for themselves!


    But they were different from the soldiers below; they had their own judgment. Outnumbered by the enemy, what good would it do to boost morale if they still couldn''t win?


    A half-step grandmaster is, after all, not a true grandmaster!


    ...


    The drill ground in Linyang City was not soundproof.Du Ge''s voice, inciting the soldiers, clearly carried out.


    Ordinary citizens who heard it didn''t think much, at most feeling that fate was unfair and having an impulse to join the Fourth Princess''s army, to share gold and silver with them.


    But those with assets at home began to tremble.


    They had originally thought that the Fourth Princess would rely on them and thus restrain her army from infringing upon them.


    So, they dared to criticize Du Ge''s identity as the Heavenly Demon.


    But now, Du Ge''s bloody deration made them afraid.


    They suddenly remembered that the Fourth Princess was, after all, a rebel. If pushed to the brink, she might indeed turn on them, and the Heavenly Demon was no god; a Demon Head would kill.


    After much deliberation.


    The wealthy merchants in Linyang City could no longer sit still.


    On the same day Du Ge finished his speech, the merchants voluntarily sent military supplies to Luo Shuang, began to curry favor with the Fourth Princess''s army, and expressed deep apologies for their previous nder of the imperial teacher.


    ...


    The entire Linyang City was brimming with fighting spirit, as if reborn.


    Seeing off a merchant who hade to contribute supplies, a mocking smile appeared on Luo Shuang''s lips. "Master, is this human nature?"


    "Yes, this is human nature." Du Ge stood beside Luo Shuang, speaking earnestly, "Deception is ultimately a minor art. A donation certificate, a promise of future rewards, might bring us temporary benefits.


    But when facing a stronger existence, deception bes a castle in the air. At this time, we need deterrence, to make them feel afraid, to make them feel that opposing you will leave them with nothing, and then they wille to please you on their own."


    "Mm." Luo Shuang nodded, pondering for a moment, "But this way, the reputation we''ve painstakingly built will be ruined."


    "If we can''t get past this hurdle, what future is there to speak of?" Du Ge smiled, "Only by defeating Cao Lin this time and incorporating his army will our future path be smooth. I''ve taught you, reputation is unimportant; when you stand high enough, people will naturally help you clean it up..." ????????ЕＳ


    Huangfu Yue dared not speak, but her admiration for Du Ge had already flooded like a torrent.


    Is this the Heavenly Demon?


    Far stronger than any man in the world.


    "Master, Cao Lin is a grandmaster. Are you confident in facing him?" Luo Shuang asked worriedly.


    "If we choose the battlefield by the water, I am fully confident of taking him down," Du Ge said.


    After bing the first, his mental power increased by twenty thousand, enhancing his control over water by at least ten percent. Moreover, with the Power of Poseidon, he naturally had an advantage in water. Even if it took time, he could exhaust a grandmaster to death.


    "Imperial Teacher, if we fight at Yangjiang, we won''t have the advantage of defending the city," Huangfu Yue said.


    "Linyang is not Yutang Pass; there''s no natural defense here," Du Ge nced at her, "Can the walls of Linyang City stop a grandmaster? Since they can''t, we naturally choose a ce more advantageous to us."


    This is the difference between a high-martial world and an ordinary ancient battlefield.


    In a high-martial world.


    A grandmaster could very well influence the oue of a battle single-handedly.


    "Mm." Huangfu Yue looked at Du Ge, suddenly saluting, "Imperial Teacher, in future battles, I will charge at the front like you. Before you take down Cao Lin, Huangfu Yue will not retreat a step."


    Is the principle of "a single move affects the whole situation" at work?


    With him leading, if all the generals charge into the most dangerous ces once the battle starts, his army should be invincible!


    Another trend led!


    Du Ge looked at Huangfu Yue with appreciation, "Alright, you can change your cloak and armor to red. This way, if you get injured, the soldiers won''t notice, and it won''t affect morale. The Fourth Princess will be the Empress in the future, and you will be a famous general, setting an example for women everywhere, showing them that they are no weaker than men..."


    "Alright." Huangfu Yue''s eyes also lit up, "Imperial Teacher, rest assured, I will do it."


    "Report."


    Suddenly, the voice of the messenger sounded outside the door.


    "Enter," Du Ge said.


    The messenger pushed the door open, saluted Luo Shuang and the others, and handed the letter in his hand to Du Ge, "Imperial Teacher, someone outside the camp requests to see you and has delivered a letter, saying it is for your eyes only."


    Du Ge took the letter, tore it open, and saw only five words: "The Pagoda Suppresses the River Demon."


    Finally, they came.


    There were several codes for "The Celestial King Covers the Earth Tiger."


    In the second Simtion Field, it wasn''t used much, so the most widely spread was still "The Pagoda Suppresses the River Demon."


    Although it wasn''t Feng Zhong or Gao Ming, as long as it was a fellow from Qi Yuan Star, it was enough.


    On the eve of a great battle, one more person meant one more strength.


    Du Ge exhaled his true energy, shattering the letter into pieces, and said to the messenger, "Invite the person in!"


    Momentster.


    A middle-aged man with a small mustache was led into the room by the messenger.


    His eyes immediately locked onto Du Ge, excitedly saying, "Brother Du, I finally see you. Hearing your speech outside your camp, I was sure that Leng Shi must be you..."


    Suddenly.


    He noticed Luo Shuang and Huangfu Yue, and his voice abruptly stopped.


    "Imperial Teacher, Huangfu Yue takes her leave." Huangfu Yue nced at him, saluted Luo Shuang and Du Ge, and then left the room.


    Luo Shuang looked curiously at the middle-aged man, asking, "Master, should I avoid this?"


    "No need." Du Ge smiled, taking the opportunity to build loyalty, "The Princess is the leader and should know everything to have a clear understanding and not harbor doubts about her master."


    "Master, I will never doubt you." Luo Shuang frowned slightly, quickly expressing her stance. She stood up, "Who is this gentleman?"


    Du Ge nodded at him.


    The middle-aged man understood, saluted Luo Shuang, "I am Zhang Yizhi, a staff member of the Minister''s Mansion in Chongming Kingdom, greetings to the Princess."


    "Staff member of the Minister''s Mansion?" Luo Shuang was stunned.


    Du Ge took over the conversation, asking, "What did Shi Pingchuan send you for?"


    "He said he wants to advance together with you, to coordinate from inside and outside, to take down Chongming Kingdom. This way, there will be double assurance." Zhang Yizhi picked some words suitable to say in front of the Princess, "Shi Pingchuan said, with him in the position of prime minister, he can give you more help..."


    Luo Shuang''s eyes widened, her heart pounding, stunned by this news. The prime minister was actually their person, so the prime minister''s previous promise to support her restoration was true!


    Ha!


    Advancing together!


    Du Ge neither agreed nor disagreed, "That idea is not bad. Did he just send you to deliver a message?"


    Zhang Yizhi was suddenly stunned.


    Du Ge shook his head with a smile, "Let''s not talk about this. What is your attribute?"


    Zhang Yizhi said, "Cooperation."


    Du Ge asked again, "Do you have any supernatural powers?"


    Zhang Yizhi nced at Luo Shuang again, somewhat embarrassed, and lowered his voice, "Being ackey, I can one hundred percent draw the target to the person I am cooperating with."


    Wow!


    A monster-attracting divine skill!


    Du Ge''s eyes lit up, "Don''t go back to the Minister''s Mansion, work with me!"


    Zhang Yizhiughed dryly, "Brother Du, I can indeed draw the target one hundred percent, but my attributes are too low. If I rashly draw too powerful a monster, I might be killed directly."


    "Then you should work with me even more." Du Ge smiled, patting his shoulder, "Following Shi Pingchuan for a month, your attributes haven''t improved; he''s too weak. I''ll help you improve your attributes, and you''ll soar in no time."
