Chapter 71 Merit
Whose flying sword is this!
A strong man from the Fifteen Mile Realm has arrived? !
Everyone was surprised and looked around. Could it be that the Xia family had arrived?
When Song Yueyao was stunned, a figure appeared in her mind, but the other party was previously controlling the broken demon-slaying sword, not this sword. Could it be that the Xia family really came? Speaking of which, where is that guy?
Song Yueyao couldn't help but look around, but didn't see Li Hao.
Similarly, she did not see any trace of General Xia. Perhaps he was standing somewhere and failed to notice her.
While everyone was rejoicing, the remaining monsters were in a panic.
This change was so sudden and unexpected!
Reinforcements? Xia family? Whatever it was, the Red Eyebrow Taoist was dead!
Even it was killed instantly, let alone the remaining ones in the Divine Wandering Realm.
Moreover, it is said that the Red Eyebrow Taoist had practiced Taoism in the Holy Palace for a thousand years. Even in the Fifteen Mile Realm, he is an extremely powerful existence.
The God of Giant Strength from the Black Wind Mountains was once a bully outside Cangyu City. He was known as the Giant Demon King, but he was defeated by the Red Eyebrow Taoist and had to obey his orders.
However, facing the fifteen-mile territory of the Xia family, is the Red Eyebrow Taoist so vulnerable?
The monsters were terrified and retreated in a hurry. They didn't care about the monster tide below.
As the great demon fled, the other demons in the Soul-Subsequent Realm also saw what was happening. The Red Eyebrow Demon King had already fallen. How could they fight him? The demons behind were still coming one after another, but the demons in front had already turned around and fled in panic.
The collision between them caused the entire demon tide to become chaotic.
At the same time, after the flying sword killed the Red Eyebrow Taoist, Li Hao continued to operate the sword to shuttle back and forth on the battlefield, chasing after the fleeing great monsters in the Divine Wandering Realm.
These big monsters still have the ability to make a comeback, so Li Hao will naturally not let them go.
The sword light was like lightning, passing quickly across the battlefield. The fleeing great demon in the Divine Wandering Realm wanted to resist in horror and cast a life-saving magic spell, but under the speed and power of the flying sword, it was vulnerable and had no chance of resistance, and was easily pierced through.
One after another, the big monsters fell down with screams.
These big monsters could only flee in all directions, hoping that the opponent's control of their weapons was not able to catch up with them.
But while Li Hao was operating the flying sword, he had already taken action and flew towards the north of the city.
Wei Feng, who was originally preparing to retreat, saw this and had an idea. With Li Hao's Fifteen Li Realm being so powerful, it would be impossible to successfully attack the city unless it was a great demon in the Heavenly Man Realm.
As for the great demon in the heavenly realm, why would he need to rely on other demons to make such a big fuss?
Massacre in the city was just a piece of cake, a matter of a stick of incense.
However, it is even more dangerous if a big demon from the Heavenly Realm invades the country. Once they commit a massacre, they will definitely be hunted down to the ends of the earth by the Divine Generals' Palace. Therefore, it is very rare for them to invade the country alone.
If they invade by blending in with the demon forces on the border, they will not be singled out and hunted down, and it will be easier to retreat to the demon territory to save their lives.
Thinking of this, Wei Feng immediately took Ren Qianqian and Li Yuanzhao with him and chased after them, wanting to see the outcome of the battle with their own eyes.
With him by my side, if I see the situation getting bad, I can retreat in time to protect myself.
At the same time, as Li Hao took action, the range of his control was also expanding. Those great monsters in the Wandering Realm were killed one by one before they could escape from the battlefield.
"How come his control range is so far!!"
A huge demon, whose body had shrunk into a small ball of black mist, heard the whistling sound of wind from behind and a look of deep despair appeared in his eyes.
Puff! The sword flashed past, destroying the black fog.
As the eight great monsters in the Divine Wandering Realm all died, Li Hao turned around and killed the monster tide with his flying sword.
The sword light was like a thread threading a needle in the monster tide, blood kept splashing, and these monsters were harvested crazily.
The originally ferocious demon tide was reduced to a tragic sea of blood and countless corpses in the blink of an eye, and the rest fled or scattered.
Seeing this, the guard on the city wall immediately called on others to go and give chase.
Liu Shunqing and Qi Jia also led their disciples to go out and hunt down the monsters. This was a rare opportunity to make achievements.
In just half an incense stick of time, the demon tide dissipated.
Looking at the corpses of monsters scattered all over the ground below the city wall, and the most conspicuous red dragon corpse that was chopped into three parts, many city defense soldiers felt like they were dreaming.
He was already in despair and even wrote a suicide note and left it in the military tent, but he still succeeded in defending the city.
Monsters attacking the city?
Under the attack of the flying sword, it was like a farce, brewing with great momentum but ending abruptly.
The evil clouds hovering in the north had long since dissipated with the death of the Red Eyebrow Taoist and the sudden deaths of other great monsters in the Divine Wandering Realm, and the sky and earth became clear again.
On the top of the city wall, many soldiers raised their hands and cheered.
When Yue Shuhong rushed over, he saw only the scattered monsters and was stunned.
For twenty years, he had been playing coy with the monster and working hard, but in the end... he was no match for that young man's sword? He was excited, but at the same time, he also felt an unspeakable sadness and bitterness.
I sought help and begged for mercy everywhere, but it was all in vain.
What was the point of all his efforts to make compromises over the years? Only strength could solve all obstacles, and he understood this truth.
However, after being transferred here, he was overwhelmed by official duties. How much free time would he have to practice? He was speechless and choked up, looking up to the sky and letting out a long sigh.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The monster wave is over. With the number of casualties among these monsters, no monsters should dare to invade Cangyu City in the next few decades.
So, what about yourself?
He smiled bitterly, then composed himself and walked towards Li Hao.
"Mr. Li, I, Yue, am so shameless. On behalf of all the people in Cangyu City, I would like to thank you for your rescue!"
Yue Shuhong looked solemn, clasped his hands together, looked solemn, and bowed deeply to Li Hao.
Li Hao raised his hand and the flying sword in the sky came like a cloud and fell into his palm.
Looking at the city defender beside him, this middle-aged man had a dark and rough face with traces of weathering.
"It's just a matter of convenience, so don't be polite."
Li Hao said calmly.
Yue Shuhong showed a bitter look on his face, and then he said, "I will report to the court that I colluded with demons and associated with monsters. In addition, I will also commend Mr. Li for his contribution in defending the city. With the testimony of all the soldiers here, Mr. Li's contribution must be great."
"A credit? It's nothing."
Li Hao shook his head slightly and didn't care.
Seeing Li Hao being so indifferent and casual, Yue Shuhong was slightly stunned. He could see that the boy's eyes were penetrating and did not seem to be false in his humility.
However, it doesn't matter whether you are humble or not. As he said, this achievement is too great and no one can cover it up.
You know, in normal times, it is extremely difficult to achieve meritorious service.
Even in a state of war, it is very difficult to accomplish great deeds. The most common ways are to break through the enemy lines, be the first to climb the ladder, seize the flag, and kill the general.
In addition, there are also capturing the leader, annihilating the whole army, etc.
The first two types, breaking into the enemy lines and being the first to climb the enemy posts, are both second-class merits. According to Dayu's reward law, they can be awarded the second-class title.
Capturing the flag and beheading the general are first-class merits, which are more difficult to obtain and are rewarded with a third-level title.
Dayu's titles are divided into Shijue, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, and Duke! Above the Duke is the most prestigious Divine Noble.
The ancestors of the Five Divine Generals’ Mansions were all divine nobles. They followed the previous emperor into battle, established the Dayu Dynasty, made unprecedented contributions, and passed down for thousands of years.
Except for the divine title, the other titles are divided into three grades. If one can make a first-class contribution, he will directly become a first-class military title.
If it is a second-class merit, then he will be a second-class rank.
If one is a knight and performs first-class merit, or three second-class merits, he can be promoted to viscount and be rewarded with good farmland and land, which is equivalent to a landlord aristocrat.
If he is an earl, he can also get a fiefdom! It is difficult to establish merit, but today Li Hao defended the people of the whole city by his own strength. This kind of merit has exceeded the first-class merit.
Yue Shuhong didn't have the energy to think about how to settle the accounts specifically, and would just leave it to the court. He would probably be awarded at least a third-class viscount.
