They would also earn merit points, but the amount depended on the level of the Extraterritorial Battlefield and how well they completed their mission.
Take Extraterritorial Battlefield C-120, for example.
A C-class Extraterritorial Battlefield had a fixed merit-point baseline. For Huang Zhenqiu, as its commander, that baseline was 200 points.
That didn't mean Huang Zhenqiu was guaranteed to get those 200 merit points.
The final amount also depended on how well they completed their mission in Extraterritorial Battlefield C-120.
The evaluation took several factors into account, including completion time, battle results, casualties, expenditure, and organizational ability.
The better they performed, the higher their final evaluation score.
And the more merit points Huang Zhenqiu would earn above the 200-point baseline.
Conversely, the worse they performed, the lower the final evaluation score—and Huang Zhenqiu might even end up with fewer than 200 merit points!
Once Wang Dong understood the rules,
the importance of his role—and that of the entire C-120 battlefield—became quite clear.
First, there was the time required to complete the mission.
In Huang Zhenqiu's original plan, given the complex astronomical conditions in the region where Extraterritorial Battlefield C-120 was located, he had prepared to spend two or three years gradually piecing together the star charts, advancing cautiously, and locating the Mist Butterfly Civilization's bases.
But he hadn't expected that, with the Sky Peng Horizontal joining the operation,
in less than a month,
they would already have found and eliminated five of the Mist Butterfly Civilization's sub-bases!
This pace had far exceeded Huang Zhenqiu's expectations.
He'd been forced to revise his battlefield plans again and again over the past few weeks. It had been both a headache and a delight.
And today,
Wang Dong had brought him even more incredible news.
They had found the Mist Butterfly Civilization's main base in
