When Ji Tianxing returned to Meteor Fall Valley, it was already evening.
At this time, the six generals had long brought an army of over 500 thousand and returned in triumph.
Inside Meteor Fall Valley, the atmosphere was jubilant.
Before Ji Tianxing set off for battle, no one knew where he was going to attack.
Only now did everyone know that he brought an army of 600 thousand to attack Fish Dragon Mountain's main camp!
The most inconceivable thing was that he actually succeeded!
Not only did he destroy Fish Dragon Mountain's main camp, he even killed over a million fiends and even killed Commander-in-Chief Cang You!
This was absolutely a great piece of news, a great victory that raised everyone's spirits!
Everyone understood that the destruction of Fish Dragon Mountain's main camp would definitely cause a tremendous blow to the fiend army's morale.
Fiend Sage Cang You being killed also made the fiend army leaderless and would definitely fall into panic.
The Crimson Sun Empire was not far from victory!
Before long, the empire's army would be able to expel several million fiends and return home!
That night, a grand celebratory banquet was held inside Meteor Fall Valley. Bonfires burned brightly everywhere, the fragrance of wine overflowing everywhere.
The soldiers sang and danced, drinking to their hearts' content all night.
Especially those six generals who took part in the battle, they became the entire Meteor Fall Valley's focal point, receiving the reverence and envy of the million soldiers.
But those six generals did not dare to claim credit. They all appeared very humble, pushing all of the credit to Ji Tianxing.
No matter what occasion, they all spoke bluntly. The greatest contributor to this great victory was Commander-in-Chief Ji Tianxing!
Without Marshal Ji's leadership, they absolutely could not have won, let alone create such glorious battle results!
…
The soldiers were jubilant, but Ji Tianxing did not show up.
He stayed alone in his residence in the Commander-in-Chief Palace, meditating and cultivating in a secret chamber.
Whatever celebratory banquet, award ceremony, he was not interested in it.
What he was thinking about was not just Meteor Fall Valley and the Crimson Sun Empire, it even included half the continent.
"The Ancestral Fiendgod had the intention of withdrawing long ago. Now that Cang You is dead, the fiend army in the Northern Border is constantly decreasing. I reckon that they will withdraw soon.
After the fiend race's chaos is resolved, I have to make a trip back to Luoshen Mountain first and report to Granny Long.
In addition, I have to take a look at Yao Yao's cultivation situation, and the two children.
He wondered if Yao Yao had refined the God Orb, and what realm had she reached?
Now that the matters of the Luoshen Mountain are settled, I will return to the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
Now that I have returned to the Martial Sage Realm, I can finally stand at the top of the mainland and rebuild the Pillar of Heavens Mountains … "
After making up his mind, he focused on cultivating and consolidating his martial arts foundation.
Unknowingly, a day and night had passed.
It was the night of the second day.
The grand celebration banquet had long since ended, and the Starfall Valley had also regained its tranquility.
Ji Tianxing was cultivating in the secret chamber when the voice of a young man suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"Reporting to Marshal Ji, Marshal Du just sent a message to invite you to the Conference Hall to discuss important military matters."
When Ji Tianxing heard this, he ended his cultivation and walked out of the secret chamber.
Outside the secret room stood a young man in armor, dressed like a guard.
Ji Tianxing sized him up and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man hurriedly bowed and answered truthfully, "Reporting to Marshal Ji, this subordinate is a bodyguard sent by Marshal Du to serve you."
Ji Tianxing frowned and asked again, "Where is Guan Zhi?"
The young guard hesitated for a moment before explaining with a difficult expression, "Reporting to Marshal Ji, this subordinate does not know where Miss Guan Zhi went.
However, this subordinate heard that after you led the army to battle, Miss Guan Zhi disappeared. "
Hearing him say this, Ji Tianxing understood what was going on and thought to himself, [Guan Zhi must have followed Tantai Xian Er's orders to deliberately approach me to gather information.
When I led the army to battle, her mission was completed and she most likely went to find Tantai Xian Er. "
He threw this matter to the back of his mind and strode through the corridor, heading towards the Conference Hall in the front hall.
After a hundred breaths of time, he stepped into the Conference Hall.
The Conference Hall was brightly lit and there were more than twenty Generals waiting in two groups.
Marshal Du Chengchang stood near the sand table and stared at it, lost in thought.
Seeing Ji Tianxing enter the Conference Hall, all the Generals saluted and said respectfully, "This general greets Marshal Ji!"
Du Chengchang also cupped his fists and greeted him with a smile.
"Marshal Ji, you've finally come. Everyone has been waiting for you."
Ji Tianxing glanced at him and asked calmly, "What is it?"
Du Chengchang did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, "Marshal Ji, you led an army of six hundred thousand and smoothly flattened the Fish Dragon Mountain Camp and killed Demon Sage Cang You.
This great victory has raised our army's morale and our fighting spirit.
On the other hand, the Demon Race army must be in a panic and at a loss.
This is the best opportunity for us to pursue them. We should set out as soon as possible and take down the other two camps in one fell swoop.
After annihilating the Demon Race army outside Falling Star Valley, we can rush to Heavenly Wolf Pass's aid … "
Du Chengchang was excited, his face flushed red and his bright eyes filled with expectation.
The twenty-some Generals in the Conference Hall also echoed his words.
"That's right, Marshal Du's words are reasonable!"
"Marshal Ji, you can't hesitate. We must pursue them while they're victorious!"
"Marshal Ji commands troops like a god. How can you not understand these principles?"
"Everyone, don't worry. Marshal Ji will definitely lead the charge and utterly defeat the Demon Race army."
Ji Tianxing saw that everyone was eager for battle and did not stop them. He nodded and said, "Since you all want to set out, then prepare the army for battle.
In any case, the Demon Race army will be retreating soon. If you don't attack now, you won't have the chance to perform any meritorious service. "
Hearing this, all the generals were taken aback for a moment, all of them revealing looks of confusion.
"What? The Demon Race army will be retreating soon? "
"Marshal Ji, where did you get this news? Is it reliable? "
"If that's really the case, then that's great!"
"The Demon Race army is finally retreating. The soldiers can finally return to their homes!"
"If the Demon Race army retreats, that's naturally for the best.
The soldiers under this Seat's command won't have to fight bloody battles and get injured or die. "
Obviously, not everyone was bloodthirsty and warlike.
The reason why they led the army to battle was to protect their home and defend their country. They were forced to resist.
Thus, the twenty-some Generals were immediately divided into two factions.
One faction advocated setting out and only wanted to kill the Demon Race army, perform meritorious service, and make a name for themselves.
The other faction advocated defending Starfall Valley and waiting for the Demon Race army to retreat so that they could return to their homes.
Seeing this scene, Du Chengchang couldn't help but frown. He looked at Ji Tianxing with a solemn expression.
"Marshal Ji, is what you said just now true? Is the Demon Race army really going to retreat? "
Ji Tianxing said with an indifferent expression, "That's natural. However, we must put pressure on the Demon Race to urge them to retreat as soon as possible.
Benshuai will personally lead the army into battle. Generals who want to perform meritorious service can take the initiative to apply.
