He raised his hand to look at his formation mark.

[Treasure points: 64 million]

He didn’t search for resources since he came to the Otherworld. However, the resources he had encountered along the way had increased his treasure points by 8 million.

There were also comprehension points. He now had 520 thousand of them. Although it seemed like a lot, these points could not even be exchanged for a bottle of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid.

Wu Ning frowned. Although his comprehension points increased at a similar rate as before, previously he was rather weak and the points sufficed. However, as his cultivation base grew higher and higher, his comprehension points became increasingly insufficient.

However, other than descending to the Otherworld to obtain comprehension points, there was no other way to do so in the real world.

The system seemed to have sensed Wu Ning’s annoyance. “Master, you can also obtain comprehension points by killing aliens back in the real world.”

Aliens? It just so happened that his descent this time, he would head to the outer realm battlefields to train. There wasn’t much out there but aliens. If he could obtain comprehension points by killing aliens…

He would gladly anticipate the sharp increase in comprehension points after the end of his current descent.

Now that the problem of comprehension points had been solved, the next step was to focus on dealing with the Turks.

Things were not going well for Zhiming Sili. After yesterday’s battle, the news reached the ears of the Turkic Khan who urgently summoned Zhiming Sili back.

The Khan sat imposingly on a throne wrapped in exquisite beast hide. “Zhiming Sili, didn’t you promise you’d win? How did you lose the first battle yesterday?”

Zhiming Sili knelt and lowered his head. “Great Khan, I have nothing to say about my defeat. I await my rightful trial.”

The Great Khan patted the armrest. “Humph, I suppose it’s only right you’re speechless. I see you’ve been eating and drinking with the emperor these days. What a carefree life you’re leading.”

Zhiming Sili raised his head to look at the Khan. “O Great Khan, I am loyal to you and the nation only.”

“Is that so? Then explain why you’ve been eating with the emperor. Men, get Zhiming Sili. No one is allowed to see him without my orders!” The Khan was enraged.

With his orders, a few guards came in and dragged Zhiming Sili away.

The Khan sat in his seat and pondered. Now that Zhiming Sili was out of action, who should he send next? After all, the war was far from over.

There were only three generals left in the four generals, and among them, two were guarding the border. They could not be recalled, for their absence would bring chaos to the border. The third, however, was too old to lead troops into battle.

The Great Khan pondered for a long time but could not come up with a solution.

At this time, Wu Ning had already sent people to the Turks to spread news, saying that Ashna Shuhan, Ashna Kagan’s youngest son, was an expert in leading troops to war. The troops of the Central Plains would be defeated immediately if Ashna Shuhan led the attack.

Ashna Kagan was one of the four great generals, but he was already old and sick and had been bedridden for many days.

When he heard the news, he hit his bed in anger. How was this praise? It was clearly a death sentence.

He knew his son’s ability and was determined to stop Ashna Shuhan from entering the battlefield.

Otherwise, not only would his reputation be ruined, but the Ashna family would also be condemned for all eternity.

The Khan had been calling for Ashna Shuhan, but it was all stopped by Ashna Kagan. He was determined not to let the Ashna family bear the humiliation of defeat that was to come.

It was a pity that the wise General Ashna Kagan only lasted for three days before he passed away. His family only thought that he had died of illness. No one was sure whether he had truly died of an illness or was killed.

They held a grand funeral for him. The poor old man died before he could even say his last words.

On the second day after Ashna Kagan’s death, the Khan summoned Ashna Shuhan. Not long after, Ashna Shuhan held the imperial edict in his hand and returned home with a smile on his face.

With Ashna Kagan’s death, both of their wishes were fulfilled.

On the fourth day, Ashna Shuhan brought 100,000 troops to the border and met up with the remaining 100,000 troops brought by Zhiming Sili. They discussed the situation of the previous battle on the strategy table.

Ashna Shuhan said with disdain, “I think that Zhiming Sili has already betrayed the country. Otherwise, with how strong the city gate is, I don’t believe how the emperor was able to break it with one punch. It’s most likely collusion between Zhiming Sili and the emperor.

“Also, the emperor did not kill anyone after entering the city but merely looted. It is only a show put on for the Khan.”

The generals nodded, realizing that Ashna’s analysis was rather reasonable.

Then, they began discussing how they should fight their enemies for the battle tomorrow as Wu Ning had already sent a letter saying that he would attack the city.

Ashna Shuhan was furious after reading the letter. He felt that the emperor was too arrogant. How dare he write them a letter? Burn it!

“The emperor is too arrogant. We can’t just defend the city but should take the initiative and attack, wiping their armies out.”

“What do you reckon, General?” The generals asked.

Ashna Shuhan smiled sinisterly and said, “Isn’t the emperor going to attack the city tomorrow? We have 200,000 troops now. We only need 100,000 troops to defend the city. As for the remaining 100,000 troops, let them lie in ambush outside the city tonight. When the emperor attacks the city, surround them and form a pincer attack.”

All the generals nodded after hearing this. They thought it was a good plan and complimented Ashna Shuhan.

“You are indeed the son of the late General Ashna, a true talent.”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect the little general to be so smart at such a young age. Looks like the younger generation will overtake us any day soon.”

“The little general is so smart. He will definitely become a great person in the future.”

“The little general is the glory of the Ashna clan.”

Ashna Shuhan was a little smug after being praised by the generals. He was delighted but had to pretend to be modest. “No, no. This is all because of the guidance you’ve given me. I am only a young and untrained soldier, how could I do it on my own?”

Both sides tried their best to flatter the other, who had a great time hearing all the compliments and praise thrown around.

Wu Ning sat in the tent and looked at the information in his hand as a smile appeared on his face. What a ‘great’ plan! Now Ashna Shuhan had brought them another 100,000 soldiers..
