As 100,000 soldiers knelt down in unison, Jiang's identity as the regimental commander suddenly came to light.
Is Commander Jiang the Lord of Hell?
The Jiang Legion Commander who single-handedly held off the entire Skeleton Army was actually the Lord of Hell!
It was like a nuclear bomb exploding in the hearts of 240,000 players!
Even those who already had their suspicions were stunned by what they saw.
"I knew it, I knew it! Besides the Lord of Hell, who else has such power?"
"He...didn't he log off a long time ago? There haven't been any announcements from him for several days now."
"Hmph, so you all said the Lord of Hell was no good, now you've been proven wrong. A resounding slap, louder than that NPC's face on the city wall!"
Jiang Hao was also completely bewildered by this scene.
"Um... General Zhen Nantian, there's no need for this. I... I didn't really do anything."
Jiang Hao's voice, amplified by the magic array, echoed throughout the entire Qiongfeng Pass, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Commander Jiang, you have defended our Eastern Kingdom from the attack of the Skeleton Army, saving our entire Eastern Kingdom from the calamity of death. This kneeling is well-deserved!"
After saying this, Zhen Nantian stood up. Then all the soldiers followed suit and sheathed their swords.
"The front pass has now been repaired. A ranking list has been created based on the number of bricks each adventurer contributed, and the system will automatically distribute rewards to everyone shortly."
"Once the rewards have been distributed, you will all be teleported back to your previous location to continue your adventure."
"What I want to say is that the Skeleton Legion's attacks will not stop, and the Eastern Kingdom still needs you. Perhaps next time, it will be your turn to resist the Skeleton Legion. Therefore, I hope that you can improve your strength as soon as possible to face even greater storms in the future."
The players immediately immersed themselves in the battlefield of the future, imagining themselves bravely fighting the enemy. Excitement shone on their faces.
Suddenly, all the players in the entire square were flashed with white light and leveled up.
"Holy crap, I leveled up 3 times in a row?"
"Hey, me too, me too, I leveled up 2 times."
"Look at the backpack! There's a silver-grade treasure chest inside!"
"Holy crap, it's true! My god, even though I didn't move that many bricks, I still got a silver-level treasure chest reward?"
A white light flashed across the entire plaza. Some higher-level players leveled up by one, while others leveled up by three, indicating that the experience reward for completing the mission was the same. As for the treasure chests, some players found a silver-level chest in their inventory, while others found a bronze-level one. Even those who cheated and didn't move a single brick received an iron-level chest. It could be said that everyone who participated in this mission gained something; the only difference was the amount of effort put in.
Jiang Hao emitted the most white light. Even after the white light in the square had stopped, he was still emitting white light, making everyone curious about just how much reward he had received.
Someone noticed first that the Lord of Hell, standing on the city wall, had leveled up from 18 to 19. Then, with flashes of white light, he leveled up to 20. The white light continued to flash until he finally reached level 30. This scene filled all the players in the square with envy.
However, since the beginning of guarding the Central Pass, Jiang Hao has been putting in a lot of effort. With his great achievement of pushing the Skeleton Army out of the Qiongfeng Pass, and with his Skeleton Army undertaking almost all the tasks of quarrying and brick-moving, even if he receives such a reward, the players will not feel that it is unfair.
Some people were curious about what level of treasure chest the Lord of Hell had obtained, so they asked loudly. However, Jiang Hao couldn't hear them at all because they were too far away.
"Commander Jiang, this is the Zhenyuan Legion's troop deployment token entrusted to you by our Legion Commander. You can mobilize any unit within the Eastern Kingdom whenever you need it."
Zhen Nantian jumped off the general's platform and placed a cyan-colored token into Jiang Hao's hand. At the same time, his words, amplified by a magic array, were transmitted to the ears of every player.
As soon as the words were spoken, the players saw a general, who was clearly a commander, step forward and hand a cloth bag to the Lord of Hell.
"Commander Jiang, this is a gift from our Beixiong Fortress Legion Commander. If you ever need anything from Beixiong Fortress in the future, just let us know."
The 240,000 players heard it clearly.
Another commander stepped forward and similarly stuffed a cloth bag into the Lord of Hell's hand.
"Commander Jiang, this is a gift from our Fearless Fortress Legion Commander. When you have time, you must visit the Fearless Fortress. Our Legion Commander would like to have a drink with you."
No sooner had these words been spoken than an airship abruptly docked atop the city wall at the front pass, and a figure stepped ashore. The players were astonished to see that he was a level 50 Diamond-ranked powerhouse, even stronger than the swollen-faced NPC. They concluded that this NPC was undoubtedly a powerful figure from the Eastern Kingdom.
Sure enough, apart from the NPC with the swollen face, everyone on the city wall was bowing to that powerful figure.
"Greetings, Commander."
The one who just arrived is none other than the Guardian Mingdu. Now, he is the Commander of the Temple Order, in charge of the entire Eastern Kingdom's garrison, and is the most powerful military figure in the Eastern Kingdom. Therefore, all commanders address him as Commander.
"Have all the rewards been given out?"
Legion Commander Nock had already sent him the battle report. Therefore, he already knew roughly what had happened here.
"Yes, guild leader. The 240,000 gold coins have been distributed by the system according to the amount of contribution."
The quest poster can provide gold coins, and the rewards are varied. The quest poster can specify anything, such as experience, treasure chests, or profession points. However, based on the current needs of adventurers, Nok has set experience and treasure chests as the most needed rewards. A Spirit Ruins process the conversion, making trading more convenient.
"Commander Jiang, you have saved the entire Eastern Kingdom this time. As a token of my gratitude, I would like to offer you both the positions of Commander of the Temple Legion and Commander of the Inner Temple Legion. From now on, you will have complete control over the entire Eastern Kingdom's army. Of course, I will also become your subordinate and serve you at your beck and call."
After saying this, the guardian Mingdu took out two golden tokens from his pocket and solemnly placed them into Jiang Hao's hand.
The 240,000 players are completely stunned.
Even this person who looks like the big boss on their side actually values Jiang Hao so much?
Moreover, he was willing to hand over all military power and serve the Lord of Hell.
Did the Lord of Hell save the Earth?
