"War, inevitably means death! Perhaps some of you will never return from this journey. You will be injured, disabled, or more likely die in a foreign land. Tell me, are you afraid"

Li Chen's voice was like rolling thunder, covering the entire field of over three thousand people, making sure everyone could hear him clearly.

A resounding roar from three thousand soldiers answered his words.

"Fear not!"

Li Chen let out a long laugh and said, "This palace has no intention of saying some grandiose words. Those words are all superficial and lack any real substance. Soldiers never need such flowery rhetoric. This palace only gives you the practical!"

"This palace hereby swears, you three thousand soldiers who go on this expedition are the most elite tiger and wolf division of the Qin Dynasty. For this battle, all those who go into battle, their families will be exempt from taxes for three years. Each person, besides military pay, will receive an additional thirty taels of silver."

"For those who are wounded, a subsidy of fifty taels will be given. For those who are disabled, a subsidy of one hundred taels will be given. For those who die, a subsidy of two hundred taels will be given!"

"All of this money will be paid directly by the imperial court. You can come back and collect it in person when you return. For those who cannot come back, it will be sent to your hometowns, where your parents or wives and daughters will receive it."

"If one dies in battle, their parents will be supported by the court until their death, and their children will be raised by the court until they reach adulthood."

After Li Chen finished speaking, three thousand soldiers were all so excited that their faces turned red.

The Li clan of the Qin Dynasty ruled China for over three hundred years. Although things are difficult now, most common people still primarily resent corrupt officials and their trust in the imperial family itself has not been shaken at its core. They still believe in the imperial family.

At this moment, as the Crown Prince representing the imperial court, Li Chen made a promise, and no one believed that the prince would go back on his word.

"Thank you, Prince!"

"Your Highness!"

The roar of three thousand people shook Li Chen to his core.

And at this moment, Su Pingbei behind him was also so excited that his face was flushed red.

These condolences were not previously notified, obviously being outside the plan.

He felt the prince's determination even more, and his resolve to win this battle became even stronger.

"If all the soldiers in the country were like this, with such morale and spirit, then we could defeat any barbarian tribe or foreign power!"

This happens to be heard by Su Zhetong who just arrived.

"You've got that spark in you, even if you are growing up a bit."

Upon hearing Su Zhen's voice, Su Pingbei hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"Su Pingbei, a lowly servant, bows to the General."

Although they are father and son, in public they still address each other formally, using their titles and positions.

Su Zhen Ting nodded in agreement and then said, "These three thousand men were all I could muster for you. They are truly capable soldiers. You know what the troops outside are like, even your Imperial Guard - how many are truly ready for battle So this battle, we've almost emptied our reserves. Don't disappoint this general and the Crown Prince."

Su Pingbei pursed her lips and solemnly said: "Defeat without a return!"

"It's not just about winning."

Su Zhen Ting said seriously, "We must achieve a decisive victory. Only a decisive victory will live up to the prince's painstaking efforts."

"Otherwise, the consequences and costs would be unbearable, not just for you and me, but even for the prince himself."

These words weighed further on Su Pingbei's already heavy heart, making him feel as though the burden on his shoulders had grown even heavier.

Before Su Ping could think much further, Li Chen's voice had already reached her.

"Su Pingbei, receive the tiger talisman!"

Su Pingbei quickly organized his thoughts and knelt down on one knee before Li Chen.Chapter 408: Wang Teng Emerges from the Depths
