Chapter 1854: Deliberately Setting a Trap
"I would like to inform you, Commander-in-Chief, that Qin Guan's test results show a very high aura of the Celestial Sacred Tree. I can confirm that you can only have such a strong aura of the Celestial Sacred Tree if you stay in the Sacred Tree Forest for three full months."
An old man in charge of the inspection spoke to Ye Liangchen.
"Check the others!"
Ye Liangchen's eyes flashed with surprise, his face darkened, and without speaking, the attendant on the side gave an order.
"OK!"
The old man nodded and motioned for Xiaoying, Yun'er, Xuanyuan Jingjing and others to step forward for testing in turn.
Soon, all the test results came out, and everyone stayed in the sacred forest for three months!
Seeing the test results, Ye Liangchen's face suddenly darkened.
"What? The current result is enough to prove that we did not escape, but followed Commander Ye's order to go to the sacred tree forest to cut down the sacred tree of heaven, right?"
With a faint smile on his face, Qin Guan glanced at the follower and finally landed on Ye Liangchen.
"There is nothing wrong with you being in the sacred forest, but the task assigned to you by this commander-in-chief is to cut down the heavenly sacred tree. I wonder if you will gain anything?"
"You know, our camp is in urgent need of celestial trees. Three months is extremely precious. If you get nothing from this trip, you will have wasted three months and delayed the camp's defense. This commander-in-chief must follow the military's instructions. I will punish you severely!"
Ye Liangchen said with a sneer on his charming face.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan was suddenly startled, looked at Ye Liangchen, and said:
"Commander, you also know how difficult it is to cut down the sacred tree of heaven. Every time we send thousands of soldiers, and the generals personally lead the team to cut down, even so, the harvest from cutting down the sacred tree of heaven is very small! Ci Qin Guan and his party are only a few dozen people. Not only are the number of people smaller than usual, but they are all new soldiers of the Pioneer Corps. They are only led by one deputy general, Xiaoying. It is already good that all of them can come back safely. Why do you have to be so harsh? What about asking them to gain something?”
Ye Liangchen sneered and said:
"The number of them is small, I admit this, but for this reason, they cannot be allowed to return empty-handed! I promise that as long as they do not come empty-handed, even if they only cut down ten sacred trees, they will be exempted. Go punish!"
The more people there are on the celestial sacred tree, the faster it will be cut down, and the more it will be cut down!
Although the overall strength of Qin Guan and his party is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, the number of them is too small, and the speed of cutting down may not be as fast as the recovery speed of the sacred tree!
Ye Liangchen believes that Qin Guan and his party can cut down five sacred trees in three months, which is the limit!
As for the ten celestial sacred trees, don’t even think about it!
"Ten heavenly sacred trees?"
Hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Qin Guan blinked his eyes and grinned:
"If we cut down ten Celestial Sacred Trees, we will complete the task and we will not be punished. I dare to ask Commander Ye, what will happen if we chop down more Celestial Sacred Trees?"
Qin Guan was not eager to show off his harvest. He was determined to dig a hole for Ye Liangchen to jump into.
Ye Liangchen sneered:
"Cut down more Celestial Sacred Trees? What a fantasy! Okay! Today, the commander-in-chief announced in public that if you can chop down more Celestial Sacred Trees on the basis of ten Celestial Sacred Trees, you will be rewarded based on the military merits you should have received. For every ten more plants, I will reward each of you with ten sacred stones!"
In Ye Liangchen's opinion, it is not certain whether Qin Guan and his party can cut down ten celestial sacred trees. As for more celestial sacred trees, it is completely wishful thinking!
Although the rewards he gave were generous, he believed that Qin Guan and his party simply couldn't do it!
"There are not more than ten plants, so one person will be rewarded with ten sacred stones!"
“It’s really great!”
"According to the celestial sacred tree we cut down, how many sacred stones will the commander-in-chief give each of us this time?"
Hearing Ye Liangchen's answer, dozens of people behind Qin Guan were overjoyed. Boss Fang even touched his bald head with joy, and then started counting with his fingers.
"Um?"
Seeing the reactions of the people behind Qin Guan, Ye Liangchen frowned, and a faint uneasiness welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Qin Guan waved his hand and said:
"Since Commander Ye has generously rewarded us, why are you all still standing there? Hurry up and take out the felled celestial tree!"
"good!"
Everyone nodded one after another, and then under the incredulous eyes of the people around them, one by one they took out the heavenly sacred tree they had been allocated before.
"hiss!"
"So many heavenly sacred trees were cut down!"
"They are only a few dozen people, how could they have such a huge harvest!"
Suddenly, gasps of air could be heard from all around, and everyone present looked in disbelief.
Looking at the small pile of celestial sacred trees in front of him, Ye Liangchen's face gradually darkened!
At this moment, he finally understood that what Qin Guan said just now was completely intentional to set a trap for him!
"So many celestial trees! Your harvest is so rich!"
There was endless shock in Zhang Yuanmei's eyes, and she stretched out her hand and began to count:
"One, two, three...ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!"
"Hiss... a hundred trees! A full hundred heavenly trees! You are only a few dozen people, but you actually cut down a hundred heavenly trees! This harvest is even for a thousand-man team led by the general. It can’t be done, how on earth did you do it?”
