Chapter 71 Merit
Whose flying sword is this!
A strong man from the Fifteen Miles Realm has arrived? !
Everyone was surprised and looked around. Could it be that the Xia family has arrived?
When Song Yueyao was stunned, a figure appeared in her mind, but the other party had previously controlled the broken demon-slaying sword, not this sword. Could it be that the Xia family has arrived?
Speaking of which, where is that guy?
Song Yueyao couldn't help but look around, but she didn't see Li Hao.
Similarly, she didn't see the shadow of the Xia family general. Maybe the other party was standing somewhere and didn't notice it.
While everyone was overjoyed, the remaining big monsters were all panicked.
This change was too abrupt and unexpected!
Reinforcements? Xia family?
No matter what it was, the Red Eyebrow Taoist was dead!
Even it was killed instantly, not to mention the remaining Shenyou Realm.
Moreover, it was said that the Red Eyebrow Taoist had practiced in the Holy Palace and had a thousand years of Taoism. Even in the Fifteen Miles Realm, he was an extremely strong existence.
The giant god of the Black Wind Mountains, once a tyrant outside Cangyu City, was known as the Giant God Demon King. He was also defeated by the Red Eyebrow Taoist and had to obey his orders.
However, facing the fifteen-mile territory of the Xia family, was the Red Eyebrow Taoist so vulnerable?
The monsters were terrified and hurriedly withdrew. As for the monster tide below, they could not care about it.
As the big monster fled, other monsters in the Soul Realm also saw the clues. The Red Eyebrow Demon King had fallen. How could they fight?
The monsters behind were still coming one after another, but the monsters in front had already turned around and fled in panic.
The collision with each other made the whole monster tide chaotic.
At the same time, after the flying sword killed the Red Eyebrow Taoist, Li Hao continued to shuttle on the battlefield, chasing those fleeing big monsters in the Godly Wandering Realm.
These big monsters still have the ability to make a comeback, and Li Hao will naturally not let them go.
The sword light was like lightning, passing through the battlefield quickly. The fleeing great monsters in the Godly Wandering Realm wanted to resist in horror and cast life-saving magic, but under the speed and power of the flying sword, they were vulnerable and easily penetrated without any suspense of resistance.
The great monsters fell down screaming.
These great monsters could only flee in all directions, hoping that the opponent's control objects were not far enough to catch up.
But when 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 thought that with Li Hao's powerful Fifteen Li Realm, it was impossible to successfully attack the city unless it was a great monster in the Heavenly Man Realm.
And if it was a great monster in the Heavenly Man Realm, why would it need the help of other monsters to make such a big fuss.
Massacre of the city was just a matter of hand, a stick of incense.
But it is more dangerous for a great demon from the Heavenly Man Realm to enter the country. Once they commit a massacre, they will definitely be hunted down by the God General Mansion to the ends of the earth, so they rarely invade alone.
If they invade by mixing with the demon forces on the border, they will not be marked and hunted down alone, 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 and chased after them, wanting to see the outcome of the battle with his own eyes.
With him by their side, if they see that the situation is not good, they can retreat in time to protect themselves.
At the same time, as Li Hao took action himself, the range of his control was also expanding. Those great demons from the Wandering Realm were killed one by one before they escaped from the battlefield.
"Why is his control range so far!!"
A great demon whose body shrank into a small ball of black mist heard the whistling wind from behind, and deep despair appeared in his eyes.
Puff!
The sword light swept past and defeated the black mist.
As the eight great monsters in the Godly Wandering Realm died, Li Hao turned around and killed the monsters with his flying sword.
The sword light threaded through the monsters like a needle, blood kept splashing, and these monsters were harvested crazily.
The monsters that were originally fierce and aggressive were reduced to a tragic sea of blood and countless corpses in a blink of an eye, and the rest fled and scattered.
Seeing this, the guards on the top of the city immediately called on others to chase.
Liu Shunqing and the Qi family also led their disciples to chase and kill the monsters. This was a rare opportunity to make merit.
In just half an incense stick of time, the monster tide collapsed.
Looking at the corpses of monsters scattered all over the ground under the city, and the most conspicuous corpse of the red dragon that was cut into three sections, many city defense soldiers felt like they were dreaming.
They were already desperate, and even wrote a suicide note and threw it in the military tent, but they succeeded in defending the city.
Monsters attacking the city?
Under the attack of the flying sword, it was like a farce, brewing fiercely, but ending hastily.
The demon cloud hovering in the north had already dissipated with the death of the Red Eyebrow Taoist and the sudden death of other great demons in the Godly Wandering Realm, and the sky and the earth were clear again.
On the top of the city, many soldiers raised their hands and cheered.
When Yue Shuhong rushed over, he saw only the scattered demon group and couldn't help but be stunned.
For twenty years, he pretended to be with the demons and worked hard, but in the end... he was defeated by the young man with a sword?
In addition to his excitement, he also felt an unspeakable sadness and bitterness.
He sought and begged for mercy everywhere, but it was like a bubble.
What was the meaning of his grievances over the years?
Only strength can solve all obstacles, and he understood this truth.
However, after being transferred here, he was overwhelmed by official duties. How much free time did he have to practice?
He was speechless and choked, looking up to the sky and sighed softly.
The monster tide is over. With the number of monsters killed and injured, no monsters will dare to invade Cangyu City in the next few decades.
Then, what about me?
He smiled bitterly, then gathered his mood and walked towards Li Hao.
"Master Li, I am so shameless, and on behalf of all the people of Cangyu City, thank you for your rescue!"
Yue Shuhong looked solemn, folded his hands, looked solemnly, and bowed long to Li Hao.
Li Hao raised his hand and made a move, and the flying sword from the sky flew like clouds and fell into his palm.
Looking at the city guard beside him, this middle-aged man's face was dark and rough, with signs of weathering.
"It's just a matter of convenience, no need to be polite."
Li Hao said calmly.
There was a trace of bitterness on Yue Shuhong's lips, and he immediately said: "I will report to the court the matter of me colluding with monsters and being in company with monsters. In addition, I will also report the role of Young Master Li in defending the city. With the testimony of all the soldiers here, the young master’s contribution will definitely be great.”
"What a credit, it's a small thing."
Li Hao shook his head slightly and didn't care.
Seeing Li Hao's indifferent and casual look, Yue Shuhong was slightly startled. He could see that the young man's eyes were clear and he did not seem to be humble and false.
However, it doesn't matter whether he is humble or not. As he said, this contribution is too great and no one can cover it up.
You know, in normal times, it would be extremely difficult to make meritorious deeds.
Even in a war situation, it is very difficult to achieve great achievements. The most common ways are to trap the enemy, ascend first, capture the flag, and kill the general.
In addition, there are captures, total annihilations, etc.
The first two kinds of being trapped in battle and ascending first are second-class meritorious deeds. According to Dayu's reward law, one can be awarded a second-class knighthood.
Capturing the flag and killing generals are first-class merits, which are more difficult to obtain, and are rewarded with third-level nobility.
Dayu's title is divided into knight, viscount, earl, marquis and duke!
Above the duke is the most prestigious god-lord.
The ancestors of the five great divine generals were all divine nobles. They accompanied the late emperor on his expeditions and established the Yu Dynasty. They made great achievements that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Except for the divine knight, the other titles are divided into three levels. If you can achieve the first-class merit, you will directly become the first-class knight.
If it is a second-class meritorious service, it is a second-class knight.
If you are a knight yourself, if you perform one more first-class meritorious service, or three second-class meritorious services, you can be promoted to a viscount, and you will be rewarded with good fields and land, which is equivalent to a landowning aristocracy.
If you are an earl, you can also get a fief!
Meritorious service is difficult to achieve, but today Li Hao relied on his own efforts to protect the people in the city. This kind of merit has exceeded first-class merit.
Yue Shuhong didn't bother to think too much about how to settle the matter. He would just leave it to the court. He was probably at least a third-class viscount.
