Chapter 248 Hidden merit and fame
"Hiss-"
A shrill scream was heard.
Twelve thick beams of light of various colors gradually faded away, and the remaining demons also retreated into the distance under the cover of other weaker lights.
The demons retreated.
Zhennan Pass did not suffer any pursuit, and the commanders gathered their troops and began to clean up the mess.
Although the demons were repelled, the price paid was extremely heavy.
All the warriors were covered in blood, and almost all melee professions were injured, and some were even disabled. Only the mages, priests and summoners were relatively better off.
Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi led their respective demon hunting groups to gather together.
Everyone looked at Ye Tian with strange eyes.
After entering the battlefield, the four demon hunting groups were not far from each other, so they could have a clear view of the performance of the Level 21 Demon Hunting Group.
If they were surprised by the performance shown by other members, they would have the confidence to catch up.
Then Ye Tian charged forward alone, first killing several seventh-level demons, and then killing the eighth-level moon demon with the force of thunder, which made everyone feel numb.
It's really an exaggeration.
They are members of the same demon hunting team, but the gap between them is so huge. Just thinking about it makes people feel weak.
"Brother Ye, there are not many people I admire in my life, but you are definitely one of them!"
Yang Wenzhao spoke calmly.
He is now completely submissive.
Hearing this, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, "I'm not as exaggerated as you say. Compared to me, the thousands of soldiers present are more worthy of admiration."
Not only does he not have strong strength, he is also at a disadvantage.
Knowing that there is a high probability that he will die, he still fights to the death. Isn't this more admirable?
Whether in his past life or this life, Ye Tian had never actually served in the army, so naturally he could not experience that feeling.
He wasn't sure if he would be able to behave in the same way if faced with the same situation.
But this does not prevent him from admiring these ordinary yet great people!
"Okay, we shouldn't be needed here, let's go down and rest first!"
Ye Tian left a word and took the lead with his companions to walk towards the back.
Although the war was brutal, the outcome was at least not too bad.
The Temple Alliance won the war, even if it was a pyrrhic victory, but at least they did successfully repel the demons.
At least Zhennan Pass was guarded, and the demons were prevented from breaking through this line of defense and endangering ordinary civilians living behind Zhennan Pass.
Therefore, no matter how big the loss is, it is worth it!
For Zhennan Pass, this cannot even be called a war, but rather a disaster.
The force mobilized by the demons is unprecedentedly powerful, with twelve demon gods and many high-level demons, and they are determined to capture Zhennan Pass.
In this situation, being able to defend Zhennan Pass is already a blessing in disguise.
However, although the demons retreated, there were still many troubles to be solved.
Zhennan Pass is now in a state of disrepair.
Many buildings were destroyed by the demon army and the fire was quite large, which required the defenders to rescue the wounded while also devoting some manpower to put out the fire.
In the end, there were not enough people, so the Demon Hunting Group, which had not rested for long, was called in to help.
Even in the end, civilians joined the team cleaning up the battlefield.
It took a full three days to resolve the aftermath of the war.
Perhaps because the losses were too great, the demons did not come to harass them during this period, and even no trace of scouts was found.
This also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The Demon Hunting Group and the reinforcements from the six holy temples were not in a hurry to leave, but stayed in Zhennan Pass to rest temporarily.
They would not leave again until the rest of the troops from the Holy City were sent to replenish their forces. This was also to prevent the demons from suddenly attacking back when the Zhennan Pass was short of troops.
Until the fourth day.
All the demon hunting groups that came to support were summoned by the Zhennan Pass military headquarters.
The general-level No. 21 Demon Hunting Group where Ye Tian was located received great commendation, and the Zhennan Pass military awarded 50,000 merits at one time.
Other demon hunting groups also received corresponding merit rewards, but they were much less than theirs.
In addition, there are also rewards based on Ye Tian’s personal interests.
Because of his powerful attack, not only did it greatly ease the defensive pressure on the ground battlefield, but it also directly caused the demon attack to be hindered.
Afterwards, he even participated in the aerial battlefield and annihilated all the eighth-level demons in one fell swoop.
From some perspectives, Ye Tian can be said to have greatly influenced the direction of this war.
Although emergency war missions are mandatory and must be participated in, as long as you perform well in the mission, the merit rewards you receive will be much more than other missions.
However, due to the confidentiality of his identity, Ye Tian did not show up in person, but the Paladin Leader Han Qian distributed the rewards on his behalf.
This time, the No. 21 Demon Hunting Group had a great harvest.
The merits increased again by nearly 300,000, not including the gains from the corpses of the demons, otherwise it would be much more.
In addition, Eternal Melody also felt refreshed, and its soul energy was replenished again. Now, even opening several space channels in a short period of time is not a problem.
After resting for several days, everyone recovered one after another.
The impact of the war has completely disappeared.
"Captain, when will we return to the Holy City?"
Bai Xiaomo asked softly.
The war is over and there is no need for them to stay here any longer.
Hearing this, the others also looked over at the right time.
Ye Tian chuckled, "Don't worry, we don't need to rush back for now."
After spending such a long time together, all the girls present knew Ye Tian’s character very well.
Since you said this, there must be a reason.
"Could something else happen at Zhennan Pass?"
Li Xin made a bold guess.
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, "Sister Xin guessed correctly, there is indeed one more thing behind, and it is a great thing for us."
"What good thing?"
The girls immediately became interested.
Given Ye Tian’s personality, the good things he can say must be extraordinary.
"Could it be that it can improve our strength?" Wang Yuanyuan guessed casually.
"Sister Yuanyuan guessed right. It can indeed improve our strength. To be more precise, there is a chance for everyone to obtain the Spirit Furnace."
"Spiritual furnace?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the girls present showed surprise on their faces, and even Cai'er's eyes flickered slightly.
That’s a spiritual furnace!
In addition to its own strength, it is one of the few treasures that can increase the upper limit of a professional's combat power.
In the current team, only Ye Tian, Cai'er and Li Xin possess spirit furnaces.
Among them, Li Xin’s spirit furnace was given by Ye Tian, which is enough to show how precious the spirit furnace is.
