Behind each army stood people wearing grey robes. Most of them looked as pale as dead trees and did not care about the fight between the Zhujiang Army and the Qishan Army.
The five gray robes have been standing behind the Pearl River Army. Although they have only known the Pearl River Army for a dozen days, the cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant. The Pearl River Army rarely troubles the gray robes, and the five gray robes do not make things difficult for the Pearl River Army.
They had been staying out of the matter, but now all five of them frowned slightly and looked at Qi Shanjun with disgust.
"They want to steal the credit!" Wang Li said angrily.
Xie Bingzhi hurriedly advised, "Don't worry, everyone. Liangjie Mountain was built to resist demons and barbarians. It is forbidden to divert disasters to the east, but it is not forbidden to kill more demons and barbarians. If someone can kill all the demons and barbarians outside the city, it will be a great thing for Liangjie Mountain and the human race. Those who are capable should do more work, which is allowed in Liangjie Mountain."
Zhang Qingfeng asked: "General Secretary Xie, how do we deal with the situation where we are robbed of our credit?"
Xie Bingzhi said helplessly: "Before, there have been hostile countries or two armies defending the city together, and they have also gambled on military merit rankings. The way to deal with the robbing of merit is to take it back, there is no other way. Now the other side has seven university scholars and more than 30 Hanlin, we can't snatch it away no matter what."
"My lord, how should we respond?" Su Lun asked.
"Response? Since someone is helping us kill monsters and reduce the casualties of the Pearl River Army, let's take a rest." Fang Yun responded indifferently without raising his head, as if he didn't take the matter seriously at all.
The generals looked at each other. If it were in the past, they would only be angry or disappointed, but Fang Yun's performance in the Demon Sea Tactics dispelled their doubts.
"Since the Marquis has said so, we will not interfere any more. However... the Marquis is really not afraid that they will grab more credit and surpass the Pearl River Army in the military merit book?" Su Lun asked.
"The credit belongs to the Pearl River Army, and no one can take it away." Fang Yun said.
"Since the Marquis has said so, we are relieved! Everyone, don't be anxious. There is still a long time before the three-month agreement. Victory will definitely belong to the Pearl River Army!"
"The Marquis has confidence, so we can't lose our composure!"
"Yes, if they want to rob, let them rob. Our Zhujiang Army's contribution is now a hundred times that of the Qishan Army. From now on, even if we don't kill a single demon barbarian, they won't be able to catch up!"
The generals laughed and mocked and continued to be responsible for the defense.
At the beginning, several Grand Secretaries of the Qishan Army only occasionally used the Grand Secretaries' war poems to kill the monsters in front of the Pearl River Army. After a few hours, they had become completely shameless and assigned two Grand Secretaries and ten Hanlin scholars to specifically attack the monsters in front of the Pearl River Army.
Previously, when the armies were on defense, the Grand Secretaries and Imperial Academy officials would retain more than 80% of their talents in order to prevent sudden attacks by powerful demon kings. Therefore, they would only use war poems once in a while, and would not use verbal battles easily, but would keep them in their literary talents for nurturing.
However, the Qishan Army now has seven university scholars. If the seven of them take turns to attack, only two of them need to maintain 80% of their talents. The remaining five can attack continuously, and their talents can be maintained at around 20%.
They can continuously summon more than ten thousand war poets and generals, and many famous generals whose strength is equivalent to that of ordinary demon kings. In addition, with their verbal battles, they can completely defend four or five city sections as long as there is no demon king attacking the city.
This resulted in all the monsters in front of the Pearl River Army being killed, and the Pearl River Army did not gain any military merit.
Even so, it can only double the military merits obtained by the Qishan Army, and it is still difficult to catch up with the current Zhujiang Army.
After discussing for a while, the seven great scholars of the Qishan Army brazenly attacked the monsters in other sections of the city.
Soon, the Qishan Army was in charge of four sections of the city wall.
The generals of Wei and Yan started cursing loudly, but they stopped after a while and ordered half of the soldiers to rest and the other half to be on guard. Then the scholars chatted or read, and some even wanted to hold a small literary gathering.
For the soldiers of these two countries, coming to Liangjie Mountain to fight was just following orders. Compared with gaining military merit, saving their lives was more important, so they quickly accepted the fact that their merit was stolen.
There are no years in the mountains between the two worlds. Time passes between battle and death. Even if you are not killed by the enemy, your life will be slowly taken away by time.
One month after the Wenjie Army officially started fighting, only three armies were left: the Pearl River Army, the Qishan Army, and the coalition army of the remaining six countries.
The Qishan Army had been constantly trying to gain credit. Even though there were several times when the section of the city defended by the Zhujiang Army was far away from the Qishan Army, the Qishan Army still sent two university scholars to the nearby area to attack the monsters in front of the Zhujiang Army.
Some generals of the Pearl River Army finally could not hold back and complained to the Liangjie Mountain Military Department, but the Ministry of War's answer was simple and clear: the defense of Liangjie Mountain in divided cities was just for convenience, and the purpose of Liangjie Mountain's existence was to kill monsters and barbarians. As long as they could kill the monsters and barbarians and would not cause harm to other human beings, the Liangjie Mountain Military Department would not punish them.
In desperation, a strange scene occurred in the Pearl River Army. Before climbing the city each time, the soldiers borrowed three days' worth of books from the library in Liangjie Mountain. Except for 10,000 people on guard, the rest sat on the ground and read and studied.
Fang Yun took the lead in doing this.
The originally bloody and cruel Jieshan City Wall became a bit boring for the armies on both sides of the Zhujiang Army and the Qishan Army.
Many people have advised the Grand Secretaries of the Qishan Army, but these Grand Secretaries remained unmoved and kept trying to take credit for themselves.
The Six-Nation Coalition had more Grand Secretaries than the Qishan Army, but they always maintained their talents and did not compete too much for military merit.
Due to the crazy killing of monsters and barbarians, the Qishan Army quickly appeared on the Liangjie Mountain military merit book and slowly rose up.
Since the Pearl River Army had not killed any monsters for many days, its ranking began to slowly decline.
On October 9, the Qishan Army's ranking rose to 84th, while the Zhujiang Army's ranking dropped to 82nd.
There is only a difference of two people in military merit between the two armies!
At the evening of that day, the monsters attacking the city suddenly retreated like a tide.
All the university scholars stood up suddenly and looked nervously at the Yaoman City ahead.
A large number of monsters and barbarians marched out of the Monster City in neat rows. Compared with the previous messy monster and barbarian troops, the current monsters and barbarians are simply an army comparable to that of the human race.
It was the first time that Fang Yun saw such a neatly arrayed army of monsters, and the scenes of the ancient monster heritage immediately appeared in his mind.
The main demon army in the demon world!
The Battle of Bi Can lasted for more than a year, and the main force of the demon world finally appeared.
Wherever this demon army passed, all the nearby demons lowered their heads, as if there was an immense power suppressing all directions, so much so that even the humans on the top of Jieshan City did not dare to breathe, as they were intimidated by this powerful demon army.
Fang Yun took a look at the Qi and Blood Demon Flag floating above the legion. On the flag was a long elephant trunk, and he felt relieved.
There are many main demon armies in the demon world, and the strongest among them is the Thirteen Demon Army. They were born in the battle with the ancient demon clan, and established a great reputation and shocked all the worlds. In the first battle between the two worlds, they almost crushed the human race. There are billions of humans, and only the Kong family's Ding Yao Army can fight against the strongest Thirteen Demon Army without losing.
However, this demon army is obviously not one of the thirteen demon armies, nor is it the Holy Demon Army commanded by the Demon Saint himself. It is just an ordinary demon army with little fame.
Even so, they were far superior to the monsters that attacked the city before.
