Outside Ghost Mist Canyon.
The armies of the three counties were still waiting seriously, setting up a large formation with sword and shield soldiers in front, spearmen in the middle, and archers in the back to prevent the ghost army in the valley from charging out in large numbers.
They don't know the battle situation in the canyon, and they don't know whether the human army is winning or losing. Once the human team in the canyon is defeated, they are afraid that they will also suffer a huge impact.
Cao Youwen looked anxiously from the sand village, but could not see the fighting situation in the canyon filled with ghost fog. Her pretty little face was filled with worry and anxiety.
At this moment, a large group of shadows rushed out of the Ghost Mist Canyon.
The 30,000-strong army suddenly became nervous, watching every move in the canyon with strict vigilance. If it were a ghost army, it would be a life-and-death bloody battle.
Soon they saw that the group of people rushing out of the canyon were led by Cao Hao, Pan Dahai, Han Boqing and other Wuhou and more than a hundred Wuzun.
Although many of them were scarred, they all had smiles on their faces that showed victory.
"Come out, we won!"
"We must have won, we defeated the desert ghost tribe!"
The 30,000-strong army suddenly burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and they all raised their weapons to celebrate this thrilling victory that was finally won.
"grandfather!"
Cao Youwen stood on the sand village and was immediately overjoyed. She immediately took off her ghost mask and jumped off the ridge of the sand village, happily running towards her grandfather.
Cao Hao came out of the canyon worriedly, and finally felt relieved when he saw that Cao Youwen and the 30,000 human army outside were safe and sound.
Cao Youwen was jumping for joy when she suddenly discovered that there were a few familiar figures missing from the crowd of Wuzun. Ye Fan, Mu Bing, Qin Yuer and others were not among the crowd of Wuzun.
She couldn't help being surprised and asked hurriedly: "Grandpa, where are Mark and the others!"
"Don't mention him! That kid, huh~!"
Cao Hao didn't have a good face, rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the sand village. He also had high hopes for Mark and took great care of him. But Ye Fan left Cao Youwen in danger alone, which made him very dissatisfied.
"What happened to him?...Did something happen?"
Cao Youwen couldn't help but look at the others in surprise, a bad premonition welling up in her heart. Did he die in the canyon? But grandpa's expression doesn't look like it either.
"This boy is so incompetent. I have been in the army for decades, and I have never seen him snatch battle glory like this. He robs others so much that they can't even drink the soup. Alas! Leave him alone! The army has been promoted, and I want to Discuss merit and reward the three armies!"
Pan Dahai shook his head with disgust on his face and shouted to everyone.
The other Wuhou and Wuzun didn't say anything either. They either had weird expressions and didn't say a word, or they were indignant and extremely angry.
To say that they are dissatisfied with Ye Fan, there are probably many people in their group who are dissatisfied with Ye Fan.
Pan Dahai originally hoped that his son Pan Yun would be able to rank among the top three in terms of military exploits, but looking at today's situation, he was afraid that there would be no chance of being in the top five in terms of military exploits.
Princess Han Baiqing and several other Wuhou also hoped that one of their subordinates could obtain a Martial Spirit Awakening Pill, but they were all extremely disappointed.
As for Li Hao, Pan Yun, and Zhao Ritian, a group of promising late-stage martial masters, their teeth were almost broken with hatred and they simply didn't want to hear the name Ye Fan again.
Cao Youwen had no idea what was going on in the canyon. She thought that Ye Fan, Mu Bing, and Qin Yu'er had died in the battle trying to gain victory, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three figures rushed out of the Ghost Mist Canyon. They were Ye Fan, Mu Bing and Qin Yuer.
Cao Youwen was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and burst into laughter. She went up to him with great joy, "Brother Ye, Sister Bing, Sister Yu'er, you are not dead!"
"Hey, how could we die!"
"Bah, what are you talking about! Do we look like people who will die early!"
...
"Woo~——!"
A huge horn sounded outside the canyon sand village. Thirty thousand troops gathered in formation, their flags were flying, and they were full of fighting spirit.
"The army raises its account!"
"Quiet!"
A huge main military tent was erected, and five military princes who led the army sat in the chief seats.
Except for Princess Jiaojiao, who sat at the left, the other nearly 300 Wu Zun captains stood at the bottom with their chests straightened, arranged on both sides.
"This time we conquered the desert ghost clan, our army won a great victory. I am deeply excited and relieved! When the army wins, the first thing to do is to reward the three armies according to their merits. Regardless of the credit, I will give each one a reward. . Now you all report your military exploits, and you will be rewarded according to your merits!"
Pan Dahai sat in the main seat of the military tent and spoke seriously to everyone.
Immediately, the three sergeants in the tent who were responsible for recording the results began to prepare to record the results for everyone.
The expressions of most of the more than 300 martial masters changed, and no one reported their military exploits yet.
It's not that they don't want to retaliate, it's just that they can't use the military exploits they have. As for lying about military exploits, it was unthinkable. Everyone could see who killed how many ghost soldiers. Lying about military exploits is a serious crime.
"Ye Fan, Mu Bing, Qin Yu'er, Cao Youwen! You guys, please report your results first!"
Pan Dahai glanced at the four people and said.
"Yes, General! Killed 300 ghost cavalry and 3 ghost kings outside the valley. Killed 1,000 skeleton soldiers and about 20 ghost kings in the sand village. During the march in the canyon, killed about 20 ghost knights. Ten ghost kings and a thousand ghost soldiers. Finally, at the entrance of the underground palace in the canyon, about 3,000 ghost soldiers were killed."
Ye Fan stood out from the crowd of Colonel Wu Zun and spoke in detail one by one.
"Well! There may be a slight discrepancy in the specific figures of this battle, but generally speaking, the number of enemies killed is not a big problem. In addition, you made the first contribution by taking down the sand village! Then you made suggestions and successfully confused the ghost army with the mask. Creating favorable conditions for a big victory is also a great achievement."
Pan Dahai nodded slightly and affirmed.
More than 300 martial arts masters were also frightened, and they were silent and did not raise any objections.
Most of the ghost soldiers killed by Ye Fan were killed in front of them, so there is nothing to question. Only the last three thousand heads have not been seen by everyone...but there is nothing to argue about.
"Mu Bing! Kill about 2,000 ghost soldiers at the entrance of the palace in the canyon!"
Mu Bing went out to report her military exploits.
"Qin Yu'er! Kill about 2,000 ghost soldiers at the entrance of the palace in the canyon!"
Qin Yuer went out to report his military exploits.
The martial masters became more and more silent. Ye Fan took the two of them to grab the battle merit. The battle merit was so great that they were speechless.
Finally, Cao Youwen went out to report her military exploits, "At Shazhaikou, we killed a thousand ghost soldiers and about twenty ghost kings. Then we resisted the ghost princes from leaving the valley."
Pan Dahai nodded slightly and sighed in his heart.
The initial intelligence was that there were thirteen thousand ghost soldiers, three to four hundred ghost kings and three ghost princes in the Ghost Mist Canyon.
Of the 13,000 ghost soldiers in the Ghost Mist Canyon, Ye Fan, Mu Bing, Qin Yu'er and Cao Youwen killed almost 10,000, accounting for the vast majority.
The remaining three hundred human warriors could only divide the remaining ghost soldiers, and their military achievements were pitiful.
"Li Hao, Pan Yun, report your military exploits!"
Pan Dahai had no choice but to continue calling the names.
Li Hao bit his lips tightly and stood out from the crowd with an extremely embarrassed expression. He handed over his hands and reported: "Li Hao! Kill ten ghost masters and a hundred ghost soldiers!"
After saying that, his pale face turned red.
He is the majestic young princess of Donglai County, the number one Martial Master on the "Donglai List", and a master of the late Martial Master Realm. The number of enemy kills was not even a fraction of Ye Fan's. This was simply a shame and a great humiliation.
Pan Yun's expression didn't look good either, and he reported in a low voice: "Pan Yun! Kill seven ghost masters and one hundred and fifty ghost soldiers!"
The remaining warriors came out one by one to report their military exploits.
Either they killed two or three ghost kings, or one or two ghost kings, and some only killed ghost soldiers. Some even failed to kill a single ghost soldier.
Except for Ye Fan, Mu Bing, Qin Yu'er and Cao Youwen, who had great military exploits, the other people, including Li Hao, had less than one-tenth or even one-thousandth of the military exploits of the previous four.
The faces of the more than three hundred warriors were all confused. They couldn't express the merits of this two-headed ghost-killing soldier.
Three sergeants recorded everyone's achievements in a book.
"Ye Fan ranks first in combat achievements. Whether it is the number of direct kills of the ghost clan or the suggestions to capture the Ghost Mist Canyon, he has the greatest contribution. I believe everyone has no objection to this, right? If there is no objection, this general will be here This declares all the rewards for him!"
Pan Dahai asked everyone.
Li Hao suddenly said: "General Pan, I personally feel that Ye Fan's suggestion to capture the Ghost Mist Canyon is deeply inappropriate. This is not his credit. He used seventeen blue-robed men to try to deceive the ghost tribe. This is entirely his fault. This is an adventure that ignores the safety of my 30,000 human army outside the valley. If the Ghost Lord attacks the army outside the valley with all his strength, then my 30,000 army will be wiped out and the losses will be terrible. This cannot be regarded as credit, this is just him taking advantage of me. He risked the lives of the army in exchange for his personal merits and succeeded by luck."
As soon as these words came out, all the warriors in the tent were shocked.
"Li Hao!"
Ling Jiaojiao couldn't see it, sneered slightly, and interrupted: "No matter how this battle is fought, there are only three endings, complete victory, tragic victory, and defeat. This battle seems risky, but Ye Fan has five martial arts Hou Hun fought his way into the valley among the men in blue robes, which is enough to ensure that we will not encounter the worst outcome of a defeat. We can either win completely, destroy the ghost world and kill the ghost prince, and the human race will hardly have to pay much price. Or we will be miserable. Victory, our army paid half the price of death. But no matter what, we will win. Ye Fan used seventeen blue-robed men to confuse the ghost princes, making them hesitate to take action in order to judge the main force of our army. This was a missed opportunity. , which bought a very favorable time for our army to achieve complete victory. This is not a military adventure, but a strategy with a 70% chance of victory. A battle with a 70% chance of victory is enough to give it a try. Do you still have Is there a better strategy for a 100% victory than this? Why didn't you tell me earlier and wasted the lives of my army?"
Ling Jiaojiao slapped him with a big hat, but she just didn't accuse Li Hao.
"This...the princess teaches you a lesson!"
Li Hao's face immediately turned red and he did not refute. The princess is obviously on Ye Fan's side, and there is no way to take away Ye Fan's part of the credit.
