The entire army, and indeed most people, were extremely excited about this.
Although not many enemies were killed in the previous battle.
However, they also seized a considerable amount of resource-rich land.
Lin Xiuyuan personally presided over the distribution of the rewards.
Many of them were people who followed Lin Xiuyuan in fighting the enemy, and were seriously injured or even killed, but they did not have the merit of killing the enemy, nor did they participate in the capture of resource areas.
However, their military achievements were still counted as first-class merits. Even the items and rewards of those who died in battle were all recorded and returned to their blood relatives and families according to the registered information.
Although the results were not particularly abundant, many resource-rich areas were captured, and the treasure vault was still plentiful. The rewards were comprehensive.
The entire army received a considerable amount of reward, though not much, but the immediate benefits were real.
This boosted morale and kept the troops' spirits high.
They maintained the victorious momentum of an army.
But ultimately, it was because the results were not many.
When the garrison troops in those resource-rich areas realized they could not stop the advance of the Cloud Soaring Sect, they all withdrew, taking with them a great deal of resources.
There were even fewer enemy kills.
Although it is comprehensive, the actual reward is not much.
Most of them were newcomers who came to follow the Cloud Soaring Sect in their pursuit of profit.
Naturally, they didn't want the first battle to end so hastily.
Upon learning of Lin Xiuyuan's instructions, they were all eager and excited, looking forward to the task at hand.
However, naturally, many people also hold opposing views or have more doubts.
Most of them are high-ranking officials.
Because it represents the interests of various parties and has now occupied a considerable amount of resource-rich land, for the long term, it should be developed steadily and gradually eroded.
The numerous demonic cultivators of the Lingyan Mountains have all retreated to the far east.
There are only four or five resource sites left.
Therefore, each resource location had at least two to three thousand garrison troops.
With the addition of various resources and spiritual objects, each one can be regarded as a simplified version of a scree mine.
The difficulty of attacking naturally increases continuously.
The strategic objective has now been achieved, with direct control of the Liushi Mine, the central hub of the Lingyan Mountains.
Next, we can gradually gather resources and slowly send troops to attack.
Undoubtedly, the current situation of launching a massive renewed offensive is not the best option.
"Sir Lin, now that the army has gathered again, it seems they are about to launch a full-scale attack? Is this a somewhat inappropriate move?"
"Yes, we just occupied so many resource sites. And they were all destroyed before the demonic cultivators left. Although we transferred a lot of low-level cultivators from our main base, Purple Mountain Herb Garden, it was not enough to distribute to all the resource sites."
"At this time, we should first stabilize the overall situation and send troops to build defensive lines. Launching another large-scale attack directly could easily destabilize our foundation!"
Many of the high-ranking members of the Purple Mansion stage present shared this opinion.
The men under his command only cared about military achievements and didn't care about anything else.
However, they are different; they are all representatives of their respective factions, so they naturally need to think more deeply and consider the gains and losses of the overall interests.
Of those present, only Yunxiao and his subordinates from the Purple Mansion, including those former rogue cultivators, followed suit.
However, most of them were also puzzled, after all, the overall situation was right in front of them, and launching a full-scale attack, while not unwise, was not the best choice either.
Of all those people, probably only Zhong Kangshun roughly understood the reasons, and his eyes showed less doubt...
