How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

Chapter 52 The Price of Summoning the Great Wall

After Jingwei ordered the retreat, the Jin army was defeated one after another. Wu did not pursue them. Once they left the city wall and lost the protection of the Great Wall, the Wu army was no match for the Jin army.

The injured soldiers on the Wu side were sent down the city wall, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the city wall to prevent the Jin attack.

Although they had achieved a great victory, the Wu State was not at all careless. The final victory of the war was still a long way off.

In the Wu army camp, the soldiers were talking and laughing. This was a rare victory for them since the outbreak of the war. In the past, they had to use huge casualties to make up for the difference in military strength between the two sides. Although they could rely on the invincible Great Wall to defend, they all knew what the price of maintaining the Great Wall was. There was no way to defeat the Jin army, and it was only a matter of time before the Wu army was completely defeated. Today, they all witnessed Long Dong's terrifying power. For the first time, they felt that there was hope of victory in this war.

Normally, every time we had a meeting, everyone was in a state of depression because of the huge casualties and the unseen victory. Today, the soldiers smiled for the first time in a long time.

Lian Shoucheng signaled everyone to be quiet. General Lian gave a speech. He thanked Longdong for his help and thanked the soldiers for their bravery. Without the bravery of the soldiers, there would be no victory.

The soldiers were very humble and finally praised Long Dong. How could Long Dong be so awesome? Heroes are born young. Long Dong felt embarrassed. Long Dong could only modestly say that it was all the credit of the soldiers. Without the soldiers fighting bravely in the front, Long Dong would not be able to release the forbidden spell so smoothly.

One of the generals asked Long Dong: "Can you really release forbidden spells at will? How does the backlash of forbidden spells affect your body?" After knowing Long Dong's ability, the generals were also curious about Long Dong. Everyone was full of doubts about Long Dong's ability to release forbidden spells continuously. Moreover, the power of Long Dong's forbidden spells was extraordinary, and no one could understand it. The generals had also seen big scenes, and they could not understand a monster like Long Dong.

Long Dong explained to the generals that releasing forbidden spells would not cause any damage to his body, and that he could indeed release forbidden spells continuously. The only thing that limited Long Dong's ability to release forbidden spells was his mental strength. The more he released, the more his mental strength would be depleted. Long Dong would also become more tired. After releasing several forbidden spells today, Long Dong was not actually that tired. Even if his mental strength was completely consumed, he could just take a nap to recover it.

Long Dong's words gave the generals a great surprise. It was also like giving them a reassurance. Long Dong's words were like telling them that Long Dong could release the forbidden spell almost infinitely. As long as Long Dong was there, the enemy would be wiped out by the forbidden spell sooner or later. The final victory was just around the corner. The war would eventually usher in the dawn of victory.

The efforts of General Lian and other generals have not been in vain. Victory will eventually belong to them.

It was already evening after the meeting. Long Dong had dinner with the generals. The generals found that Long Dong was not only very good at fighting, but also very good at eating. However, his appetite was at least twice that of an average person. However, Long Dong was still young and still growing. It was okay to eat a lot. Moreover, Long Dong kept pulling Xiao Jian to buy him a drink. He didn't drink enough in Dragon Valley before. This time Xiao Jian couldn't refuse.

Long Dong drank happily. Xiao Jian also found that Long Dong could not get drunk. After a few bottles of wine, Long Dong did not blush or feel nervous.

Instead, Xiao Jian was drunk and started to talk nonsense: "Long Dong, why didn't you come here earlier? If you had come earlier and helped us end this battle, there would have been fewer casualties. Do you know how much it costs to have the Great Wall..." The generals' faces suddenly changed when they heard this. The Lianshoucheng also hurriedly sent Xiao Jian back to the barracks to rest.

Upon hearing this, Long Dong immediately expressed his position: "I will do my best to help you win the war as soon as possible." Long Dong's speech drew applause from the generals.

Long Dong was puzzled by what Xiao Jian said about the price of the Great Wall: "What is the price of the Great Wall?" All the generals hesitated. Lian Shoucheng quickly replied: "Xiao Jian is drunk, what is the price of the Great Wall? Long Dong, don't listen to his nonsense. The Great Wall is a solid defense line we built. Of course, we paid a lot of sacrifices to build the Great Wall. When the war is won, the Great Wall will not be needed. There will be no sacrifices. Don't you agree?"

Lian Shoucheng's words were impeccable. Long Dong did not continue to ask. There must be something hidden. Lian Shoucheng did not want to say it, and Long Dong did not ask. Everyone has secrets, so there is no need to dwell on this issue.

After eating, Long Dong walked out of the tent for a walk. Long Dong was in a good mood, and was satisfied with the wine and food. Long Dong walked around the military camp to take a look.

The soldiers all liked this young man very much, and Long Dong also got along well with the soldiers.

The soldiers in the barracks did not disperse. Unlike Long Dong's innocence and fearlessness, the soldiers were worried. One of the generals asked, "Is it really okay not to tell Long Dong the secret of the Great Wall?"

Lian Shoucheng sighed, "He will find out sooner or later. Let's just wait for him to find out. When he gets angry, just let him come after me. Anyway, I built the Great Wall, so I'll have to bear this sin alone."

The soldiers said nothing, they all knew the secret of the Great Wall. And such a big thing could not be hidden from everyone.

The Great Wall was built with magic. Maintaining it costs lives.

Long Dong wandered around the military camp and soon he arrived at the field hospital.

The battlefield hospital was very busy. Doctors and nurses were working non-stop. Some patients were lying in bed to rest and recover, some were waiting for the doctor's treatment, and some were screaming in pain. Seeing this, Long Dong began to condense healing magic.

The magic circle rose into the air, and the healing light spots fell. The patients gradually recovered under the healing magic. Long Dong's healing magic was not as good as that of the Dragon Clan leader Dot. But with Long Dong's large-scale healing magic, it was better than nothing. With Long Dong's magic, they could also recover faster and go to the battlefield.

Everyone was stunned by Long Dong's performance. During the day, Long Dong's forbidden spells were seen by all. Long Dong's deeds had long been spread. Everyone knew that a genius magician named Long Dong had come to the military camp. As soon as the genius magician made a move, the Jin Kingdom was defeated. Now Long Dong cast group healing magic for everyone. This also made everyone ecstatic.

Everyone greeted Long Dong, and Long Dong responded positively. Everyone laughed and talked happily. In the hospital, no one seemed to feel sad.

Long Dong walked around the hospital for a while and soon discovered a major problem. The injuries suffered by the injured in this hospital were not serious. The most serious injuries were just some skin injuries. They would recover after a month of rest at most.

Long Dong wondered: Where are the seriously injured? Long Dong clearly remembered that a large number of patients with broken arms and legs were carried down the city wall. Long Dong saw dozens of seriously injured people. The battlefield was huge, and there must be thousands of seriously injured people. Where are they?

With Long Dong here today, their losses were much smaller. But when chatting with the soldiers, they clearly said that in the past, hundreds of people died every day in every battle, and countless people were seriously injured. Where are the seriously injured? Where did they go if they were not in the hospital?

Long Dong asked the people in the hospital, but the doctors and nurses were also hesitant and perfunctory. Long Dong saw that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he decided to ask Xiao Jian.

After much difficulty, they found Xiao Jian. However, Xiao Jian was so drunk that they could not get any information out of him. Long Dong was speechless.

When Long Dong left Xiao Jian's tent, he happened to meet Liu Cheng who was about to return to the tent to rest.

So, Long Dong called Liu Cheng directly and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Liu Cheng didn't plan to answer Long Dong's question. He simply made an excuse that he was too busy as a military advisor to answer Long Dong's question.

Long Dong was very angry when he saw Liu Cheng was so perfunctory. He grabbed Liu Cheng who was about to run away and said, "Liu Cheng, you must tell me clearly what happened today? Also, explain to me what secrets the Great Wall has." If you want to ask, you should ask clearly at once.

Liu Cheng was also in a dilemma: "I can't explain this to you. If you really want to know, come with me to find the general who defends the city. Let him explain it to you."

Liu Cheng and Long Dong came to the camp of the joint defenders of the city.

Lian Shoucheng was not surprised at all by Long Dong's arrival. Liu Cheng kept winking at him. Lian Shoucheng basically understood Long Dong's intention.

Lian Shoucheng: "Longdong, I will explain everything to you one by one."

Lian Shoucheng liked to travel around the continent when he was young. Lian Shoucheng was fortunate enough to enter the tomb of the first emperor of the Shenlong Empire, and was lucky enough to obtain the summoning method of the Great Wall.

The founding emperor of the Shenlong Empire, Zheng, was a god. Zheng founded the Shenlong Empire and built the Great Wall to defend against foreign invaders. However, not long after Zheng founded the Shenlong Empire, he was poisoned to death. The Great Wall he created also disappeared.

Lian Shoucheng said that summoning the Great Wall was not difficult. The important thing was that it required a huge amount of spiritual energy to maintain the Great Wall. The Great Wall was indestructible and could be restored even after being destroyed by a powerful attack, but this required a constant supply of energy. Zheng was a god, so he naturally had no shortage of spiritual energy. For Zheng, summoning the Great Wall was easy. But for Lian Shoucheng, it was nothing but a dream.

Looking at the current Wu Kingdom, Venerable-level warriors are very rare. There is no Saint-level warrior at all. Lian Shoucheng was able to summon the Great Wall and maintain it until now. He must have used some extraordinary means.

Long Dong: "Then how do you maintain the Great Wall?"

Lian Shoucheng had a complicated expression, and Liu Cheng even covered his face and cried bitterly. Lian Shoucheng: "With the blood and lives of countless people."
