Defense Star XXIX.
After many days of recuperation, many of the severely injured warriors had recovered and were no longer in danger.
Wang Teng naturally contributed a lot to this. His quantity was astonishing and the quality was excellent. Everyone who had been treated by him said it was good.
Now, the legend of a certain nanny had started to spread in the military camp.
Of course, this was just a joke. At the same time, it was also a form of intimacy.
Wang Teng also heard these rumors. His face was a little dark. He felt that he was very pitiful. He would probably never be able to get rid of the title of nanny.
Morrisa covered her mouth and chuckled beside him. These few days, Wang Teng had taken some time to make the Xuanyang Soul Restoration Pill and saved this girl. Wang Teng discovered it in time. The dark apparition of the Demon Brain Race didn't have time to absorb too much soul power. Therefore, she wasn't as badly injured as the Tiki incident. She recovered quickly.
"Colonel Wang Teng, who was invincible on the battlefield, is now called nanny. This contrast is quite big." Morrisa laughed.
"Go away, go away!" Wang Teng was very angry and depressed.
"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. It's just a nickname," Morrisa comforted him.
"How about I give you one too?" Wang Teng glanced at Morrisa's fierce mouth.
"Bah!" Morrisa spat. How could she stand this kind of gaze? She quickly changed the topic. "I'm here this time to thank you personally."
"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Wang Teng waved his hand and said lightly.
"…" Morrisa was stunned. She said unhappily, "My life is not a big deal? I feel like you're implying something."
"Yeah, after all, I just saved you," Wang Teng said.
Morrisa was speechless. Huh? Huh?
"You won't have a girlfriend if you talk like that," she said softly.
"Why, you want to be my girlfriend?" Wang Teng teased.
"You're thinking too much," Moira said calmly as she brushed her hair away from her forehead.
"That's good. I'm too outstanding. There are too many girls who like me. I really can't have more." Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief.
Moira was speechless.
Was this guy's heart made of meteoric iron?
[Real Iron Straight Man.Jpg]
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then took out an item and handed it to Wang Teng.
"This is for you."
"What is this, a small branch?" Wang Teng sized up the object in his hand in astonishment, then suddenly exclaimed, "It actually contains a very rich light energy."
"A friend of mine from the Spirit of Light Velvet planet gave it to me. If you run into any trouble there, you can go to her," Moira said.
Wang Teng raised his eyebrows and said, "This thing means a lot. You're giving it to me just like that?"
"Let's go." Moira waved her hand and left without saying anything else.
Wang Teng looked at her back and shook his head.
Slap!
Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Stop looking. She's gone."
"I knew you were sneaking around behind me." Wang Teng looked back at Tiki and said unhappily.
"You're releasing your psychic energy in the base." Tiki was speechless.
Wang Teng put away the small branch and sealed it in a small jade box. "There's no harm in being careful."
"By the way, if you get together with Master Van Bolen's disciple, what will happen to my cousin?" Tiki shrugged and asked.
"What do you mean, what will happen to your cousin?" Wang Teng's face darkened. He quickly said, "There's nothing between me and your cousin. Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
"And Moira, there's nothing between me and her. Don't you dare accuse me."
"Hey, I saw everything." Tiki curled his lips and laughed.
"What did you see?" Wang Teng's eyes glowed dangerously. He looked at Tiki with a smile.
"Ahem, I can say I didn't see anything." Tiki quickly changed his words. This guy was ridiculously strong. He couldn't afford to offend him.
"Look at your cowardice." Wang Teng rolled his eyes. "Don't talk about me and your cousin in the future. What if your family finds out and wants me to be their son-in-law? I'll be very troubled. "
"..." Tiki was speechless.
He had seen thick-skinned people, but he had never seen such a thick-skinned person.
Dong …
At this moment, the sound of a bell rang in the base.
Wang Teng and Tiki's faces became serious.
"Let's go." Wang Teng walked out. Di Qi nodded and followed him. The two of them arrived at a building at the back of the base amidst the ringing of the bell.
This building was very simple, but it was tall and solemn, emitting a sense of solemnity.
In front of the building, there were huge stone steles. The stone steles were filled with names. They were so densely packed that it was impossible to count them all.
When Wang Teng saw this, his eyes trembled slightly. It was as if a string in his heart had been touched.
A large number of martial artists came from all directions. They walked quietly without making a sound. When they arrived at the square in front of the building, they stood there quietly.
If one looked carefully, they would notice that everyone who came here today was wearing military uniforms. They wore white cloth strips on their arms. It was very eye-catching.
Wang Teng and Tiki were no exception.
More and more people came, filling the square in front of the building.
However, it was strangely quiet!
Silence!
There was only silence. Everyone's eyes were heavy and sorrowful.
Some of them were still wrapped in bandages. Their injuries had not healed, but they stood there silently.
Suddenly, a light rain fell from the gray sky. It was as if the heavens could feel the atmosphere at this moment.
A series of orderly footsteps came from afar. The crowd parted to form a path.
Martial artists in military uniforms walked over with solemn faces. They carried black wooden boxes. The leader was General Mokalén.
Swish!
Countless cultivators in the surroundings straightened their bodies and saluted in unison.
The martial artists carrying the black wooden boxes walked into the building in front of everyone's eyes.
"Iron Blood Martial Soul!"
"Eternal Heroic Spirit!"
As the bell rang, a bleak and solemn voice came from the building and echoed between heaven and earth.
That building was … the Hall of Heroes!
On every defensive star, there was a Hall of Heroes. Every dead martial artist's body or … clothes were buried so that their Martial Souls could rest in peace.
Where they died, where they were buried!
This was the greatest respect and reverence for the dead hero!
This was their final resting place!
Wang Teng was shocked. He looked up and felt an invisible force hovering above the Hall of Heroes. It seemed to be the souls of countless heroic spirits.
…
The dead were long gone. The living had to live in the present.
On the second day after returning from the Hall of Heroes, everyone put away their sadness and buried their pain. They showed their strong side. They laughed and cursed as they walked on the path of martial arts with determination.
However, there was another thing that stirred up everyone's emotions.
The Pillar of the Nation Medal!
Defense Star XXIX was about to give out a Pillar of the Nation Medal!
When the news spread, everyone was in an uproar. Everyone was talking about it. The excitement could not be quenched.
For martial artists in the military, the Pillar of the Nation Medal was undoubtedly a great honor. It was a motivation for many people to work hard for it.
However, the Pillar of the Nation Medal was very rare.
In all these years, there were very few martial artists in the military who had received the Pillar of the Nation Medal. Many veterans who had been in Defense Star XXIX for decades had not even seen it once.
Now, a Pillar of the Nation Medal was about to be given out in Defense Star XXIX!
For Defense Star XXIX, this was also an honor.
When they went out in the future, people would say, "Look, they are martial artists from Defense Star XXIX. They recently gave out a Pillar of the Nation Medal!"
Therefore, how could everyone not be excited? How could they not be excited?
When the news spread, many people were also guessing who the Pillar of the Nation Medal would be given out to. Then, everyone's eyes fell on one person.
Wang Teng!
That day, General Mokalén had listed out Wang Teng's contributions in detail.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone thought that the person who would be given the Pillar of the Nation Medal must be Colonel Wang Teng!
His contributions were extremely dazzling. At first, no one thought that he would be given the Pillar of the Nation Medal. The Pillar of the Nation Medal was so rare that even General Mokalén might not be able to get it.
But now, everyone was sure that it could only be him!
Other than Wang Teng, there was no one else who fit the criteria!
When Tiki heard the news, he went straight to Wang Teng to express his jealousy.
"You have to treat us. If you don't treat us, it won't be right." Tiki's eyes were red. He was so emotional that he could not control himself.
The Pillar of the Nation Medal!
What a great honor this was!
Even a noble like him could not resist the allure of the Pillar of the Nation Medal.
If he were to get a Pillar of the Nation Medal, at least none of the younger generation of the Eight Royal Families would be able to compare to him.
Whether it was status or identity, he would be a cut above everyone else.
Unfortunately, the Pillar of the Nation Medal had nothing to do with him. At most, he could only think about it.
"It's just a Pillar of the Nation Medal. It's not like it's a big deal. Don't be so emotional. Stay calm," Wang Teng said calmly.
He had already been informed that the Pillar of the Nation Medal was indeed his, so he could start acting cool.
Otherwise, if the Pillar of the Nation Medal was not his, wouldn't it be a joke?
"…" Tiki's face stiffened. He looked at Wang Teng with resentment.
This guy must be provoking him on purpose.
His words were too hateful. Wasn't he afraid of being beaten up?
"But I can treat you. When the time comes, just tell me what you want to eat." Wang Teng waved his hand and said generously.
"I don't know why, but seeing you like this, I can't feel happy at all." Tiki shook his head and sighed.
"Jealousy makes people lose their minds, brother!" Wang Teng patted him on the shoulder.
"Scram!" Tiki said unhappily.
"Hahaha." Wang Teng could not help but laugh.
"Speaking of which, are you really not going to consider my cousin Olivia? She seems to be interested in you. And recently, her parents have been asking me about you. They seem to be very interested in you." Tiki winked at Wang Teng.
"No way, Olivia's parents are also fooling around." Wang Teng was shocked.
If they were forced to marry him, that would be fun.
"Hahaha, who asked you to be so evil? It would be strange if they weren't interested." Tiki laughed.
"Don't, I'm just a small baron. I'm not worthy of royalty." Wang Teng hurriedly said.
"I have faith in you." Tiki patted Wang Teng on the shoulder. He felt that he had finally gotten back at Wang Teng for being able to make Wang Teng suffer.
However, he did not realize that he had gotten this by selling his cousin.
He had tricked his cousin!
Amidst the atmosphere of anticipation, a broadcast spread throughout the entire base on the morning of the third day.
"All martial artists, please gather at the plaza!"
Wang Teng had just finished his breakfast when he arrived at the plaza with Tiki, Paige, Wei Tong, and the others. They stood in front of the Tiger Legion's square formation. Every one of them wore military uniforms and stood tall and straight.
The other martial artists had also arrived. The Violent Bear Legion and the Red Scorpion Legion were not far away. The commanders of the two legions, Berkeley and House, looked at Wang Teng, unable to hide the envy in their eyes.
As military martial artists, they had no resistance against the Pillar of the Nation Medal.
Previously, they thought that losing once was nothing and that they could win it back later. They still had a chance.
In the end, before the chance came, Wang Teng had already disappeared.
He had already received the highest honor, the Pillar of the Nation Medal. How could they compete?
No matter how hard they worked, if they were lucky enough to get the Pillar of the Nation Medal and call it even with Wang Teng, it would probably be many years later.
For a moment, the two of them felt bitter in their hearts.
This leader of the Tiger Fiend Group was truly a monster!
The two of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The other martial warriors also looked at Wang Teng. Needless to say, there was envy and respect in their eyes.
More and more people arrived at the plaza. The last ones to arrive were General Mokalén, General Qi Yuanju, and the others.
How could they miss out on such an occasion?
"Soldiers, let us welcome the headquarters' general, General Fu Xinglan!" General Mokalén stood on the high platform in front of the plaza and announced loudly.
"General Fu Xinglan!"
Many people were shocked and their hearts trembled.
This was an extremely famous general of the headquarters. He had once made great contributions on the Defense Planet and was also the holder of the Pillar of the Nation Medal.
At the same time, he was also an Immortal rank expert. However, after he forcefully advanced to the Immortal rank, he retreated behind the scenes and rarely appeared again.
No one expected General Fu Xinglan to personally present the Pillar of the Nation Medal to Colonel Wang Teng this time.
Wang Teng heard the discussions around him and raised his eyebrows. He was also very surprised.
"General Fu Xinglan personally presented the Pillar of the Nation Medal. Your reputation is really big." Tiki's eyes carried a trace of respect as he said softly.
Under everyone's expectant and fiery gazes, a figure slowly appeared beside General Mokalén.
This was an extremely charming middle-aged man. He wasn't very good-looking, but his temperament was very outstanding. Half of his white hair draped over his shoulders and his gaze was calm and deep.
"This is General Fu Xinglan!" Wang Teng was shocked. His Eyes of Truth saw the boundless origin power in the other party's body. The light was extremely dazzling and was comparable to Marquis Bai Shan. This was definitely an expert.
As if he felt Wang Teng's gaze, Fu Xinglan looked down and met his gaze calmly.
However, he quickly looked away!
Even so, Wang Teng couldn't help but be shocked.
Was he discovered?
No, the other party only felt his gaze.
"Wang Teng, this General Fu Xinglan is incredible." Yuan Gungun's shocked voice sounded in Wang Teng's mind.
"What do you mean?" Wang Teng took a deep breath and asked in shock.
"This General Fu Xinglan's story is also very legendary. Back then, before he reached Immortal rank, he had won many battles against the dark apparitions. He rarely lost. He could be said to be a war god-like figure."
"Later on, because of his outstanding battle achievements, he was awarded the Pillar of the Nation Medal. At that time, he was only at the domain lord level."
"When he reaches sector lord level, the number of victories he has won in the war would be countless."
"When he reached the immortal rank, it was even rumored that he killed many demon lord level dark apparitions, causing them to tremble in fear."
As Yuan Gungun spoke, he sent a lot of information about General Fu Xinglan to Wang Teng.
"Damn!" Wang Teng cursed in his mind and stared. "Is this General Fu Xinglan cheating?"
"It's not an exaggeration to say that he is cheating. This General Fu Xinglan is definitely a hero of his generation." Yuan Gungun said, "He has a very high status in the military and even in the Qian Empire. I didn't expect him to personally come and award you the Pillar of the Nation Medal."
Wang Teng nodded. He was impressed and proud at the same time.
For such an important person to award him a medal, it was really impressive.
"I'm very happy to return to Defense Star XXIX." General Fu Xinglan's gaze swept across everyone and saluted. Then, he opened his mouth and said, "I've fought here before. Returning to this place makes me very emotional."
"Of course, I'm even happier to see all of you. You let me see a different kind of spirit."
"Before coming here, I've been thinking about what kind of team could defeat the dark apparitions and achieve such a great victory. Now that I see all of you, I understand that you are a group of iron-blooded lions!"
"It wasn't a coincidence that you achieved such a victory!"
"All of you make me proud!"
There was a commotion among the warriors below, and they looked quite excited.
It was a great honor to be praised by General Fu Xinglan.
Everyone knew that General Fu Xinglan never said empty words, so his words were definitely from the bottom of his heart.
They came here to see the Pillar of the Nation Medal being awarded, but they didn't expect to be praised by General Fu Xinglan. It was really a pleasant surprise.
General Fu Xinglan raised his hand, and all the voices disappeared. He spoke again.
"The other reason I'm here is to award the Pillar of the Nation Medal."
"Colonel Wang Teng, please come up to the stage!"
General Fu Xinglan's words were very concise. After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Wang Teng.
Suddenly, everyone's gaze was focused on Wang Teng.
It was indeed Colonel Wang Teng!
At this moment, everyone's guess was confirmed. They looked at Wang Teng with envy and admiration.
Under everyone's gazes, Wang Teng walked up the stage. His expression was calm, and he was at ease.
"Colonel Wang Teng, you have made outstanding contributions in this war. On behalf of the military, on behalf of the Qian Empire, I award you the Pillar of the Nation Medal!"
"The Pillar of the Nation is the Pillar of the Nation. I hope that you will not change your mind and that your fighting spirit will never stop!"
"Here, I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
General Fu Xinglan looked at the youth in front of him and couldn't help but admire him as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Wang Teng saluted and replied loudly.
In the next moment, an exquisite jade box appeared in General Fu Xinglan's hand. After opening the jade box, a golden medal appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, as if they wanted to see the golden medal more clearly, as if it was some peerless treasure.
General Fu Xinglan took out the golden medal and personally placed it on Wang Teng's chest. He then patted Wang Teng's shoulder heavily and returned a military salute.
Everything happened in silence. Wang Teng saw the general's expectations for him and felt a heavy burden in his heart.
He lowered his head to look. The golden medal on his chest shone with a faint radiance. It was especially eye-catching and extraordinary.
This was the Pillar of the Nation Medal!
Obtaining the Pillar of the Nation Medal was equivalent to obtaining a gold medal in the Qian Empire!
This was the protection of the military and also the protection of the Qian Empire!
However, Wang Teng realized that he wasn't as excited as he thought. After experiencing battle after battle, he knew that his own strength was the foundation of everything. If he could reach the immortal rank, then no one in the entire Qian Empire would be able to threaten him.
"Colonel Wang Teng, I'm looking forward to your performance in the Empire's Genius Battle." General Fu Xinglan suddenly said.
Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat. This general knew that he was going to participate in the Empire's Genius Battle. It seemed like General Mokalén had already informed the higher ups of the military.
"I will definitely do my best." Wang Teng said.
"Very good, you will represent the military. The military will be your shield. No matter who it is, you don't have to be afraid." General Fu Xinglan said.
"Yes!" Wang Teng's eyes flashed.
This ….. He suddenly had a backer!
Many of the geniuses participating in the Battle of Genius definitely had a strong background. It was inevitable that they would have some dirty thoughts. Now that he had the military as his backer, he naturally didn't have to worry about these things.
Although he wasn't worried at first, it was naturally a good thing to be able to save himself some trouble.
"Go." General Fu Xinglan nodded and didn't say anything else. His figure slowly faded until he disappeared.
General Fu Xinglan had already left without anyone noticing.
Many people felt that it was a pity that they weren't able to take a second look.
"Colonel Wang Teng, congratulations!" General Mokalén finally opened his mouth and smiled at Wang Teng.
"I have to thank you for taking care of me." Wang Teng said gratefully.
He knew that if it wasn't for General Mokalén's help, with the power behind him, the Pillar of the Nation medal wouldn't have been given to him so easily.
"Alright, we don't have to be so polite." General Mokalén waved his hand and smiled. "Go, go and enjoy your honor."
Wang Teng didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. He didn't think that even General Mokalén had learned how to make fun of people.
As the ceremony ended, the warriors below didn't hurry to leave. They all wanted to take a closer look at the medal.
Wang Teng walked down from the stage. Tiki and the others immediately surrounded him. Their eyes were burning with passion as they looked at the medal on Wang Teng's chest.
Wang Teng was a little speechless. He felt that these people had no taste. They actually looked at the medal and didn't look at him. Could it be that he wasn't as good looking as the medal?
"Tsk tsk, so this is the Pillar of the Nation medal!"
"It's golden and even glows. It's really beautiful."
"I really want to touch it … …"
"Bastard, who, who, who dares to touch my chest." Wang Teng was furious.
