Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2141 Ling Donglai Reaches Peak, External Warfare Transcends Godhood Theory of Qinling
Although Lu Miu's relationship with Kratos was so-so, his relationship with Leonich was quite good.

For every person who secretly laughs at Lu Mixiu for being naive, there are just as many who are willing to be his friend.

Lumisch wrote this letter to Leonidas not only because of his relationship with Leonidas.

Furthermore, he also disapproved of heroes like Kratos dying tragically at the hands of their own people, at the hands of a group of villains.

A hero like Kratos can die on the battlefield, but he cannot die in this way.

Thus, Kratos overcame five obstacles and defeated six generals, and Leonidas helped Kratos with Yelü Abaoji's token.

On the 21st day of the 12th month of the third year of the Yuanshi era, as the year was drawing to a close, news of Yelü Abaoji's formal unification of the Eastern Yi began to spread in all directions.

Yelü Abaoji acted swiftly and decisively. By the time news arrived from the Sun Kingdom and the Great Han, the matter was almost settled, and the opportunity to snatch chestnuts from the fire had been lost.

In the Great Han Dynasty, in Tianjing, the golden bricks of the Linde Hall gleamed, reflecting the solemn figures of the officials and the snow shadows in the morning light outside the hall.

When Lun Qinling stepped in, he left a clear trail of water from melting snowflakes, damp and carrying the unique winter scent of Tianjing outside the palace gates, stretching all the way down the imperial steps.

The edges of Qinling's robe and boots bore the marks of a long journey.

He tilted his head slightly, and on his bronze face, two deep red marks etched by the high-altitude winds and frost resembled some kind of brand.

Qinling is actually not very old, only in his early twenties. However, the ravages of the high-altitude storms have made him lose all the youthful vigor and spirit that is characteristic of men from the Central Plains.

At this moment, Lun Qinling did not look like a twenty-year-old boy, but rather a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Lun Qinling had been in the Han Dynasty for about a month before he finally received a formal audience with Wang Yu.

Regarding whether to accept Gao Yuan's marriage proposal and the three different options offered by his ministers, Wang Yu did not rush to choose, but waited for more than a month.

After all, the Gaoyuan region had gone so far as to send six marriage proposals and six delegations at the same time. For about a month, Wang Yu had been waiting for news from the other families.

Whether the other countries agree or not will determine their attitude towards the plateau and their diplomatic policies toward it for a considerable period of time.

Therefore, the attitude that the Han Dynasty will take is also under consideration.

Ultimately, of the six targets on the plateau, one was the Han Chinese, and the other five were basically neighbors. How could they not consider these neighbors before making a decision?

"Summon the Tibetan envoy, Lun Qinling, to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han!" The clear voice of the official from the Court of State Ceremonies echoed in the spacious hall.

When Lun Qinlingyi bowed, his movements carried the steady strength unique to the plateau; they were not humble, but rather as firm as a rock.

His voice then rang out, deep and resonant, with a heavy Tibetan accent, like the rough wind of the plateau sweeping through the palace.

"King Songtsen Gampo, dispatched his minister Lunqinling to present the whitest khata, the fiercest and most loyal falcon, and the purest and most flawless snow-capped jade, to His Majesty the most noble and incomparable Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, to express his deepest respect!"

Behind him, two men with similarly dark skin and ruddy cheeks, carefully presented the offerings.

The white hada was dazzling, the sharp eyes of the falcon swept across the golden palace, and the jade gleamed with a cool luster in the morning light.

Of course, before the two attendants could step forward, they were stopped.

With the Dongyi as a cautionary tale, every future mission will be wary of such actions.
Although Zhunti is not in the capital right now, Kunpeng and Ling Donglai are right here in a corner of the main hall.

More precisely, one was in a corner inside the hall, and the other was in a corner outside the hall.

With two peak Celestial Realm guards surrounding him, along with several other personal guard generals waiting outside the hall, the tactics used on Yelü Defei did not necessarily apply to Wang Yu.

Of course, most importantly, Wang Yu's strength is far superior to that of Yelü Defei, who is a complete weakling.

Strength is relative, and Yelü Defei's strength, which has just entered the super-first-class level, is nothing compared to Wang Yu, or any expert who has entered the level of god general.

Although Ling Donglai's strength has broken through the late stage of the Celestial Realm and finally reached the peak of the Celestial Realm, it is still definitely not as good as Kunpeng's.

However, the one who stayed closest to Wang Yu was still Ling Donglai, not Kunpeng. In comparison, Ling Donglai was more trustworthy than Kunpeng.

There's no need to trust the loyalty of someone like Kunpeng.

Of course, as long as the big man continues to protect him, does not threaten his life, and does not hinder his progress in martial arts, then he will always be trustworthy.

Even if someone is disloyal, if they are trustworthy, then they can be used. However, a disloyal person can never be his last line of defense.

As for Ling Donglai, his breakthrough was very low-key and did not cause any commotion. Even now, few people know about it.

His breakthrough was a natural and inevitable one. That's why it was able to be done quietly and without being noticed.

Breaking through on the eve of battle sounds like a very exciting thing. However, the excitement only comes after success; failure leaves only a pile of bones.

Most people are the ones who fail. The lucky ones are always a minority.

Moreover, even among the few who are able to achieve breakthroughs in battle, they are mostly fierce warriors on the battlefield.

Those who cultivate internal strength like Ling Donglai pursue a gradual, natural progression. The method of breaking through to the limit in the heat of battle is neither suitable nor appropriate for them.

"Ding! Lun Qinling, at his peak, has the following attributes: Command 99, Strength 103, Intelligence 93, Politics 94, Charisma 95, Diplomacy 90. (Currently not at his peak, his current attributes are: Command 95, Strength 100, Intelligence 87, Politics 82, Charisma 90.)"
Skill: King of Martial Arts...

Wu Xiong means to stop war with force, and to become a hero by going against the tide.

Effect 1: When fighting against members of the same race, your Leadership, Intelligence, Politics, and Charisma attributes will decrease to a certain extent, but the decrease will not exceed five points. Furthermore, when fighting against members of the same race, there is a certain probability that the negative skill effects you receive will have a stronger suppressive effect on you.

Effect 5: When fighting against foreign tribes, your own leadership and intelligence increase by 5.

Effect 3: When fighting against members of the same race, the effects of all friendly army skills other than monarch skills cannot be activated. Furthermore, when subjected to the suppression effect of the enemy's monarch skill, there is a certain probability that it will produce a stronger suppression effect on friendly forces.

Effect 4: When fighting against foreign tribes, the effects of all friendly army skills can be doubled. If the effects of all friendly army skills come from the monarch's skills, the actual effect of the skill received by all generals and elite battalions will be tripled, but the maximum increase cannot exceed five points.

Effect Five…

As Lun Qinling entered the hall, Wang Yu casually opened the system and took a look. Having already seen so many talented people, he naturally couldn't compare Lun Qinling to the very top tier. However, Wang Yu still couldn't help but secretly sigh that this person was indeed a rare talent, possessing truly dazzling attributes.

None of the attributes were below 90.

No wonder he was highly valued by Songtsen Gampo at such a young age and was appointed as one of the six envoys.

This person, placed within the entire history of Tibet, is definitely one of the top figures, a prominent figure in Tibetan history.

This general was one who never suffered a defeat in his entire life, not only in the history of the Tubo Kingdom's foreign wars.

In the end, they suffered losses because of their own people.

At the same time, the era in which he was active was also a period when the Tubo Kingdom was flourishing.

It was because of him that Tibet occupied the four towns of Anxi, namely Kucha, Yanqi, Shule, and Khotan, cutting off the Tang Dynasty's transportation routes to the northwest and even Central Asia.

The famous Battle of Dafeichuan was the only battle in Xue Rengui's life in which he suffered a defeat. With overwhelming numerical superiority, Lun Qinling annihilated 100,000 Tang troops in one fell swoop. Following this battle, western Qinghai came under the control of the Tibetan Empire.

In the subsequent Battle of Qinghai Lake, Li Jingxuan and Liu Shenli faced off against Lun Qinling, but the result was that the vanguard was completely wiped out, the deputy commander Liu Shenli was captured, the 180,000-strong army was routed, suffered heavy casualties, and almost lost the entire army.

In the same year, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi learned that the Tibetan king had died of illness, and sent Pei Xingjian, the Minister of War, to take advantage of the situation and launch a distant expedition against Tibet.

Pei Xingjian's answer to Li Zhi was, "Qinling is in power, and the ministers are harmonious. It is not advisable to attack him!" In short, he did not want to fight.

Then, in the Battle of Anxi, Wei Daijia and Yan Wengu fought at Lunqinling. Both sides were fighting on foreign soil, and the Tang army suffered another complete defeat, with no recorded casualties. Empress Wu Zetian was furious, executed Yan Wengu, and exiled Wei Daijia.

In the subsequent Battle of Taozhou, Wang Xiaojie and Lou Shide debated at Qinling, but the Tang army was still defeated. The Tang army suffered a major defeat at the foot of Mount Suohan, with more than 100,000 soldiers killed, their corpses "reaching the sky."

Looking at Qinling's military achievements throughout his life, he truly deserves our respect and admiration. While the details of some of the other smaller battles he commanded are now difficult to discern, these four major victories alone are enough to earn him the title of "God of War" of Tibet.

On the one hand, Qinling was able to manage the army on horseback and govern the country on foot. He managed the Tibetan Empire, which was located on a remote plateau and was poor in resources, in an orderly manner. He repeatedly dealt heavy blows to the Tang Empire, which was several times, or even dozens of times, larger in territory, population, national strength, technology and military industry. Such brilliant achievements made him one of the few prominent figures in Tibetan history.

However, throughout history, many heroes have not died on the battlefield, but by their own hands, and Lun Qinling was no exception.

Although she never suffered a defeat on the battlefield, she lost outside of it. Wu Zetian adopted Guo Yuanzhen's strategy of sowing discord and successfully eliminated this major threat from the Li Tang to the Wu Zhou dynasties.

Moreover, he even possessed the martial arts skills he once had.

However, Wang Yu's Martial Might skill is a dual development of martial prowess and leadership, with a slight bias towards martial prowess. After all, four out of the five skill effects are related to martial strength.

However, as for Qinling's martial prowess skill, it is a specialized command skill.

Moreover, the effect of this skill is too polarized.

He's a complete scumbag when it comes to civil wars, but when it comes to foreign wars, he's practically a god.

If this person were to fight a civil war, his overall level would drop by more than one level.
All four main attributes have been significantly weakened. If the weakening is complete, with a total reduction of 20 attribute points, no one in the world can withstand it!

Not to mention, the negative skill effects they receive will be amplified and then applied to them.

Just based on this skill effect alone, even a top-tier god-level commander would be destined to be buried in obscurity if they were to engage in civil war, let alone a heaven-level commander.

However, his extreme internal weakness resulted in phenomenal external performance.

In the event of a foreign war, he would be just like Guo Ziyi, who, despite having the title of a Heavenly-level commander, was in reality a God-level commander.

This skill effect also reminded Wang Yu of Meng Gong.

They traded the rigors of field warfare for a godlike performance in defensive battles.

However, Meng Gong's field battles are generally relative to his defensive battles. Although his field battles do not directly give him a five-point increase in command like his defensive battles, they still provide an increase.

However, regarding Qinling's external war situation, not only did it not increase at all, but it was actually weakening itself to the point of death.

Of course, just like Meng Gong's Great Wall, those who develop in a way that is specialized in one area will become strong in another due to their weakness in one area.

The various negative aspects of the internal war in Qinling resulted in a significant boost to his external war performance.

The five-point increase in leadership directly leveled off Meng Gong's Iron Wall. Moreover, a five-point increase in leadership is something few god-level commanders can match.

Furthermore, in addition to the 5-point increase in leadership, he also has a 5-point increase in intelligence. From this perspective, if we ignore his internal war status, this skill effect can be described as a divine skill.

It has to be said that after seeing the effect of this skill, Wang Yu even wondered if Songtsen Gampo would promote Lun Qinling as a general during the process of unifying the plateau, would this person become an obstacle to his unification of the plateau?
Of the five skill effects, two are side effects for the player's own side, and such severe side effects are outrageous!
"Your Excellency, please rise!"

As Wang Yu spoke, he had someone add a seat for him in the hall.

During the Han Dynasty, officials did not have to stand the whole time when attending court; there were seats on both sides where they sat.

Otherwise, sometimes court sessions would last for most of the day, which some of the older officials couldn't handle.

"King Songtsen Gampo,"

After expressing his gratitude at the Qinling Mausoleum, his voice rang out again, echoing clearly in the silent hall.

"The Zanpu admired the most majestic snow-capped mountain on the plateau and the brilliance of the Han Dynasty, which was like the sun and the moon. He heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had a princess who was as bright as a pearl, intelligent and kind, like the rising moon over the snowy land."

"With sincere hearts, the king is willing to take the sun and moon as witness and the mountains and rivers as an oath to welcome the princess to the plateau and establish a marriage alliance."

"From now on, the winds of the plateau will carry the warmth of Tianjing, and the rain and dew of the Han lands will nourish the grasslands of the snowy region. Swords will turn into peace, and the smoke of war will dissipate into auspicious clouds! This is the wish of King Songtsen Gampo, and also the expectation of the millions of people of Tibet! We humbly beseech Your Majesty the Emperor to grant your request!"

After staying in Tianjing for more than a month, Lun Qinling finally received an audience with the emperor. In the grand hall, witnessed by a hall full of nobles, he stated his purpose frankly.

Of course, from the moment he entered the Han Dynasty, he made no attempt to hide his purpose.

He also believed that within a month, His Majesty the Emperor above must have made a decision on this matter.

Therefore, he went straight to the point.
