The monsters retreated like a tide, but the humans on the city wall were reluctant to withdraw their troops. A large number of scholars were discussing this matter, and the discussion board was even more lively.
In the past, great victories of the human race were often laid by saints or great scholars, but today, the university scholars gained an overwhelming advantage in the battle against the monsters and barbarians.
This battle cannot be considered a brilliant military strategy, but precisely because it was not a brilliant tactic, it was because every detail was done to the best and victory was achieved, which is more inspiring to the human race.
Scholars everywhere completely forgot about the existence of the Qishan Army, and even the Six-Nation Alliance in the literary world no longer paid attention to the Qishan Army.
On the wall of Jieshan City, the Qishan Army had been completely isolated. The two scholars in charge of the Qishan Army from the Wenjie Department ignored them, and the five gray-robed men behind the Qishan Army almost ignored them.
After the legendary secret attack poem "Song of Victory" was published, the discussion boards were full of praise, especially from some people with ulterior motives, who used all means to elevate Zhang Longxiang's status and wanted to make Zhang Longxiang a human genius who could keep pace with Fang Yun.
This interim victory was extraordinary, and that night, Xisheng Pavilion held a grand defense literary meeting on the wall of Liangjie Mountain. In addition to celebrating the victory of this battle and the birth of a powerful university scholar's war poem in Liangjie Mountain, the main purpose was to discuss the upcoming battle of Bi Can.
At the literary gathering, everyone expressed their opinions, the Hanlin scholars and the Grand Secretaries talked attentively, but few people below the Hanlin scholars spoke, and most of them listened quietly.
Thousands of gray robes stood on the edge of the literary gathering. They never spoke a word and were always on guard.
Fang Yun was not active at the literary gathering and maintained a humble attitude. He realized only when the gathering was about to end that no truly powerful tactics or plans had been discussed at this gathering. It was nothing more than further consolidating the foundations and details of various aspects so that all scholars would have a clearer understanding. At the same time, holding a literary gathering on the Liangjie Mountain could better inspire the soldiers of the human race.
The human race held a literary meeting, and the monsters and barbarians dared not attack the city!
The demon world had no selfish motives. The next morning, the demons attacked the city again in an ordinary way. Many people speculated that the reason why the demons did not continue to use the rest of their main forces was to prepare for the second battle between the two worlds. If too many demon main forces were lost in the battle of Bi Can, it would affect the morale of the entire demon world.
After all, the enemies of the demon world now are not just humans. There are ancient demons that have been reborn, and some powerful alien races. This is the fate of the Lord of All Worlds, and he can never escape it.
The great victory over the Giant Elephant Army benefited all the literary soldiers. The Liangjieshan Military Department specially gave all the literary people a five-day holiday. In the following days, they fought one day and rested one day, instead of fighting three days and resting one day as before.
The status of the armies of Liangjie Mountain, Shengyuan Continent, Zhenyu Sea, Huangcheng Ancient Land, etc. were won by their predecessors with blood and war poems, but today, Fang Yun has improved the status of the people in the literary world.
The literary and military officers were extremely grateful to Fang Yun, and even the ordinary soldiers of the Qishan Army were grateful in their hearts.
After breakfast, the civil soldiers could have taken a rest, but they all went to where the military merit book was.
Soon, tens of thousands of literary and artistic figures gathered in front of the military merit book.
The Pearl River Army ranks tenth!
A war poem written by a university scholar increased the military merit of the Pearl River Army by more than sixty places!
The Qishan Army is still ranked 73rd.
Seeing this ranking, the literary circles cheered.
"It is worth the trip to see the names of my literary army in such a glorious position. Even if we die in battle at Liangjie Mountain, it will be worth it!"
"If the military merits gained from the entire poem were all counted in Liangjie Mountain, the Pearl River Army would definitely be first now. However, since this is the Liangjie Mountain Military Merit Book, then only the value of this poem in Liangjie Mountain is calculated. As for the military merits for Shengyuan Continent, various ancient lands, or the literary world, they are not included. However, those military merits will not disappear. The Holy Academy will record them. They all belong to Zhang Longxiang, and no one can take them away."
"Look at the top ten main armies of Liangjie Mountain. They have been fighting since the Battle of Bi Can. After fighting for several months, they finally received reinforcements from other places. It is said that several armies have been killed in battle, and the current people are all new recruits. Moreover, these armies have used mechanisms to kill many demon kings or great demon kings. It took more than a year of accumulation to reach the current position. It is almost a supreme honor for the Pearl River Army to be on par with them."
"It doesn't show the specific military merits, but I heard that the difference in military merits between the top ten in Liangjie Mountain is not much. If the Pearl River Army continues to work hard, it is very likely to get first place."
"I think Zhang Mingzhou's war poem should have helped the Pearl River Army win first place, but in order to save face for the main army of Liangjie Mountain, he was given less military merit."
"That's wrong. This war poem by the Grand Secretary is indeed of great significance to the entire human race, but don't forget that only the Grand Secretary can use it, and it can only be used for sneak attacks. It is not very useful in defense! If the poem "Joining the Army" can be passed down, the military merits will definitely exceed this "Victory Song"."
"That's right. Think about it, everyone. If we assume that there are still two years before the Battle of Bi Can, how many chances will the Grand Secretaries have to use the Victory Song? Not many, really. Can it kill 100 million demons and barbarians? Can it kill the Great Demon King, the Great Barbarian King? I don't think so. If we simply talk about the role of war poems, the military merits gained can probably only rank in the top 20. The reason why it ranks 10th is that this poem is of great significance and boosts the morale of the human race."
"That makes sense. The real effect of this poem is far greater than Fang Xusheng's Sword Summoning Poem and Breath Restoring Poem. If Fang Xusheng had written these two poems at Liangjie Mountain, he would have definitely topped the list in his own name!"
Many readers laughed happily, this statement was indeed interesting.
Wang Li laughed and said, "If our marshal formed his own army, I think he would at least be ranked in the top 20 of the military merit list."
"Speaking of which, Zhang Mingzhou is just as great a leader as Fang Xusheng. He single-handedly raised the military merit of the Pearl River Army to the top ten. There are thousands of talented people in the world, but there are probably no more than ten who can achieve this level."
"Finally, a great figure has emerged in our literary world."
"I was originally very happy, but I feel sick when I think of Gou Bao. Gou Bao is targeting such a person everywhere. It is really a disgrace to scholars."
"At this point, even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to target Gou Bao. If Gou Bao still refuses to give in, then it must be someone behind the scenes who is instigating him!"
The area around the military merit book immediately became quiet; it was obvious that this man was pointing his sword at the King of Chu.
"You are afraid, but we Qin people don't care. It's just the King of Chu, isn't it? I think Zhang Longxiang should just stay in Liangjie Mountain, and when he becomes a great scholar, he will return home in glory and force the King of Chu to abdicate!"
“That’s a good idea!”
"But speaking of which, the three-month agreement between Zhang Longxiang and Gou Bao seems to be coming to an end soon, right?"
"Well, if I remember correctly, the two of them made the agreement on the first day they climbed the wall of Liangjie Mountain, which should be the fourth day of September. The three-month deadline is the fourth day of November. Today is October 26, which means that there are about thirty-eight days left for Gou Bao to fulfill his promise and donate all his wealth to Liangjie Mountain."
"Let's wait for December 4th to see the show!"
