Chapter 461: [460] I Will Finish the Battle They Didn't Finish

Two fifty in the afternoon.

Dongling Fortress.

Inside the central courtyard grand hall.

This luxurious grand hall, capable of accommodating thousands of people, is the venue for the commendation ceremony of the Warhawk Legion.

Under normal circumstances, this hall is reserved for the use of Xuan Masters.

The people qualified to stand on the stage are at least Xuan Masters or Xuan Scholars. Even if a warrior were to go up, they would only be a transparent role like a servant.

But today.

The warriors have unprecedentedly become the main characters of the hall.

This is another breaking of the norm.

At this moment.

More than two thousand people have gathered in the grand hall, and the buzzing of discussions floats back and forth.

Most of them are soldiers dressed in formal attire, each with a smile on their faces.

In a corner of the hall.

Several Xuan Masters in silver-threaded black robes sit together, speaking in low voices.

"To witness the personal intervention of Candle Melt, the commander of the Firehawk Legion, is truly a rare spectacle in the East Li War Zone."

"I heard that Commander Cheng, in charge of this war zone, was the first to detect the clone of the Sea King and used secret techniques to lock onto his location. If it weren't for the personal confirmation of the commander, I wouldn't believe it."

"It is said that Vice Commander Xu Peng of the East Li War Zone is about to step down from his position as vice commander because of a major problem with the people around him, and Commander Cheng will take over as vice commander."

"It seems that Commander Cheng only came to support and verify the power of the new weapons. He will withdraw from the Void Wind Boundary in at most a year. How did he become the vice commander?"

"What's so strange about that? Commander Cheng has performed exceptionally well and has gained the appreciation of the commander. Keeping such a talented person in the war zone has only benefits and no drawbacks."

"That's right! Rules are rules because the vast majority of people are mediocre and not worth accommodating. That's why rules are formed. But for a genius like Commander Cheng, there is nothing that cannot be accommodated."

From the lines, it is clear that these Xuan Masters are from other war zones.

Although they come from different war zones, they are all "guests" of the East Li War Zone, and this high level of identity naturally brings them together.

They chatted for a while.

The topic shifted.

"I've only been in the East Li War Zone for a few days, and I really feel that everything here is different."

"I feel the same way. It's just a commendation ceremony for ordinary soldiers, but it's held with such high standards. The commander and vice commander will personally attend."

A white-haired Xuan Master suddenly said, "I just heard something about the venue for this commendation ceremony. There was a small incident."

Another Xuan Master immediately asked, "Oh? Tell us about it!"

The white-haired Xuan Master, who had heard the insider information, immediately began to explain.

"It goes like this. The Warhawk Legion originally planned to hold the ceremony at the 'Ninghai Fortress,' which is the residence assigned to them by the East Li War Zone."

"But Commander Cheng believed that the ceremony was a major event for the entire war zone and suggested holding it in the central courtyard grand hall. The Warhawk Legion had no choice but to go to the central courtyard to discuss the matter."

"As a result, the Xuan Masters in the central courtyard actually refused the request of the Warhawk Legion. The Warhawk Legion had no choice but to go back to Commander Cheng."

"Commander Cheng didn't say anything and directly sent a Xuan Master to the central courtyard hall, who dismantled the two large doors."

A Xuan Master turned his head and glanced in the direction of the doors, suddenly realizing, "No wonder I saw traces of repairs on the door frame."

Another Xuan Master pointed out the essence with a single sentence, "It seems that Commander Cheng wants to elevate the status of the warriors and fight for more rights for them. The Xuan Masters in the central courtyard are not too happy about it."

In their conversation.

The time reached three o'clock.

At this moment.

The bustling central courtyard hall suddenly quieted down.

These Xuan Masters from other war zones all closed their mouths and looked up at the central stage in unison.

They saw two figures walking quickly onto the stage.

One of them was wearing a black robe with golden threads.

It was none other than a powerful Xuan Du.

The other person, on the other hand, was wearing an ordinary black robe.

Clearly, he was a Xuan Shi.

Interestingly, these two walked side by side, seemingly disregarding any distinction of rank.

Such a scene could be considered extremely rare.

Without a doubt, Cheng Han and Jian Wanli had made their appearance.

The white-haired Xuan Shi chuckled softly, "This Jian Wanli has a truly good attitude. He walks alongside a Xuan Shi with such a calm expression. If it were me, I would definitely feel awkward."

The other Xuan Shi nodded in agreement.

In fact, this was a rather biased statement.

Because the white-haired Xuan Shi had no idea that when Cheng Han waved his hand and threw out a spear of light, successfully revealing the true form of the Mo Ma Sea King, Jian Wanli was deeply shocked.

And when Zhu Rong, the God of Candle Fusion, returned to the War Fortress and seemed to have not even noticed the presence of the Lord, only speaking to Cheng Han, the Lord was filled with deep emotions.

After a few seconds.

Cheng Han stood on the platform and straightforwardly said, "Everyone, the award ceremony is now beginning!"

He demonstrated a secret technique, sending his voice into the ears of everyone at the same time, as if he were standing right next to them speaking.

The Xuan Shi from the foreign war zone all showed different expressions.

Now, there were over four thousand people gathered in the grand hall. Even the Xuan Shi might not be able to achieve such a skillful transmission of sound.

The white-haired Xuan Shi muttered softly, "Quite impressive. No wonder the people from the Eastern Li War Zone hold him in such high regard."

On the stage.

Cheng Han didn't waste any time and said directly, "Brave individuals deserve to be rewarded. We intend to award a group of warriors with corresponding medals!"

He intentionally paused for a moment and emphasized, "The following three brave individuals, with their admirable achievements, have changed the course of the war. They deserve to be awarded the Golden Spirit Leaf Medal."

After Cheng Han finished speaking, he lightly flicked his right hand.

Three green lights swiftly flew out and burst into a sky full of green light.

A large number of green lights danced in the air, instantly condensing into three prominent names.

The first one was none other than Fang Han.

The other two names were Sun Yongchuan and Zhang Kangnian.

The white-haired Xuan Shi looked up at this scene, his eyes flickering, "Making a group of Xuan Shi look up to the names of warriors, is this a petty trick?"

He didn't say this out loud, just muttered it in his heart.

Honestly speaking.

He didn't think much of such tricks.

If you're going to do something, do it properly and honorably. What's the point of playing these petty tricks?

The next second.

The white-haired Xuan Shi's thoughts changed.

"Pfft!"

The floating word in the sky suddenly exploded into countless dots of light.

Each dot of light fell down and turned into a petal of red.

For a moment.

Countless petals fell one after another, as if a spectacular flower rain had descended upon the grand hall.

This scene.

Made thousands of people show surprised expressions.

The warriors simply found it beautiful.

The Xuan Shi and Xuan Shi, on the other hand, were all amazed.

The white-haired Xuan Shi saw it very clearly. The green lights first transformed into the shape of petals, then turned red, and finally became real petals.

Especially the last step, he couldn't distinguish whether the petals were real or fake.

If it's real, with the secret techniques of the Wood Spirit system, it usually needs to go through the normal growth stages, from seed to bud to blooming, in order to have petals.

If it's fake, he can't tell at all that it's an illusion.

This fact changed the expression on Bai Fa Xuan Shi's face.

As a powerful Xuan Shi-level expert, he couldn't even see through the methods of a Xuan Shi, which made him feel an indescribable sense of embarrassment.

It's not just this guy.

The expressions of the other Xuan Shi from the external battle zone were also extremely subtle.

In short.

These people have been struck.

After a moment.

Cheng Han's voice continued to float over: "The three of you, please come up on stage!"

As soon as the voice fell.

Petals fell from the sky.

They happened to form three paths paved with flowers, extending from the sides of the three medal recipients all the way to the area below the stage.

At this point.

Even a fool could see that the dazzling display just now was only a ritual of the award ceremony, with the main purpose of welcoming these three people on stage.

And as the Vice Palace Master, personally doing such a thing undoubtedly represented a great respect.

Bai Fa Xuan Shi pursed his lips, reserving his opinion on this matter.

A Xuan Shi next to him muttered in a very low voice, "Is it necessary to go this far? It is an indisputable fact that Xuan Shi always possesses a stronger power than warriors!"

Bai Fa Xuan Shi nodded lightly and agreed, "That's right!"

Since it is a fact, it should be respected.

So.

The status of Xuan Shi is destined to be higher than that of warriors, and any attempt to change this is not only futile but also foolish.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Fang Han muttered in his heart with an extremely excited mood, "This is not only my honor, but also our honor."

He reached out to tidy up the row of nameplates hanging on his chest, and then stood up with trembling hands and feet, taking big strides onto the flower path.

Pairs of eyes projected from all directions, if each gaze had temperature, I'm afraid even an iron man would melt into molten iron.

If it were half a year ago.

Fang Han would probably have weak legs and couldn't walk.

But at this moment.

He felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, and every step he took was extremely firm.

Half a minute later.

Fang Han, as the protagonist of the ceremony, stepped onto the center of the stage.

Jian Wanli picked up an exquisitely crafted medal and personally hung it on Fang Han's chest, saying earnestly, "Thank you for your contribution to the battle zone!"

Fang Han decisively performed a salute and replied forcefully, "It's my duty!"

Jian Wanli's gaze swept across Fang Han's chest, and curiously asked, "Why are you wearing so many nameplates?"

The fire in Fang Han's heart grew even more intense, "I hope to represent them in receiving the awards!"

Jian Wanli vaguely understood something, he remained silent for a moment, unable to help but ask, "Then can I hear their stories?"

Pointing to the topmost nameplate, "Let's start with him, is that okay?"

At this moment.

The flame in Fang Han's heart finally burst, he felt that he had countless words to say, wanting everyone to know.

He nodded forcefully, "As you wish!"

Fang Han took a deep breath and said loudly, "His name is 'Bai Qiang', his position is a senior maintenance engineer on the Han 18 aircraft carrier, mainly responsible for repairing the engines of the Warhawks.

"On the first day when the Warhawk Legion descended on the Youmiao Realm, we were fiercely besieged by nearly a million sea monsters, and a large number of sea monsters climbed onto the aircraft carrier..."

He took some time to narrate the intense battle process.

In the corner of the auditorium.

Although Bai Fa Xuan Shi felt that the ceremony was a rather boring performance, he couldn't help but be drawn in by the story.

Especially when it was such a grand story.

Tsk tsk!

Millions of sea monsters!

"...An order was issued from above, requiring all aircraft carriers to immediately deploy the Sea Eagle squadron to cooperate with the Warhawk squadron in annihilating the sea monsters.

"But Carrier No. 18 suffered heavy casualties, and most of the Sea Eagle pilots were already dead, so they couldn't be assembled at all.

"Old Bai said he had repaired the Sea Eagle before and roughly knew how to operate it, but he needed a co-pilot, so I went with him..."

The storytelling voice was suddenly interrupted by the main speaker.

"Are you saying that neither of you have ever piloted a Sea Eagle before?"

Fang Han's voice carried an obvious affirmation: "Yes, that was my first time piloting a Sea Eagle in my life!"

Bai Fa Xuan Shi's expression changed.

Although he didn't think highly of soldiers, the extraordinary courage displayed by Fang Han, knowing full well that he had never piloted a Sea Eagle before and that this was an extremely dangerous mission, yet still went ahead without hesitation, made him even more curious about how Fang Han survived.

"...We struggled to enter the flooded bottom compartment of the aircraft carrier, stumbled to start the Sea Eagle, and then joined the other Sea Eagles to hunt down a group of sea pythons together.

"Later, the Sea Eagle was suddenly swept away by a powerful current, and I felt dizzy sitting in the seat, quickly losing consciousness..."

When Bai Fa Xuan Shi heard this, he sat up slightly.

With just a few words, he had already deduced that this must be a powerful sea monster above the Xuan Shi level, which made him even more curious about how Fang Han survived.

"...Later, I woke up and vaguely saw a huge shadow in front of me. I desperately launched two Xuan weapons and then passed out again.

"Later, I learned that it was a powerful sea monster at the Xuan Shi level, and the two Xuan weapons exploded in its mouth, disrupting its secret technique.

"And the central courtyard of the war zone seized the opportunity to use the Xuan formation to kill the sea monster!"

Bai Fa Xuan Shi widened his eyes.

Such a miraculous event!

This is too coincidental, right?!

Of course.

Bai Fa Xuan Shi also knew that behind this seemingly lucky event, there was unparalleled courage.

If it weren't for the two rookies risking their lives and launching Xuan weapons while seriously injured, the East Li war zone would never have been able to kill the sea monster.

"...Later, I was rescued by other Sea Eagles and luckily survived, but Old Bai didn't make it."

The voice on the stage paused for a moment before continuing.

"Others told me that I didn't wear my neck protector correctly. At the moment the Sea Eagle was swept away by the current, the neck brace flew off.

"Old Bai had practiced martial arts, and he withstood the impact of the water flow and took off his own neck protector to put it on me, but he didn't make it.

"When the rescue team found us, Old Bai's neck was already broken."

Bai Fa Xuan Shi's expression became solemn.

He saw the figure on the stage poke his chest forcefully: "This life of mine was given by Old Bai! It was also given by Zhu Yi Sha, Jian Bin, and the others!"

The figure's voice became more intense: "This medal is the honor they deserve. I'm just here to accept it on their behalf. I will finish the battle they didn't finish!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was moved.

Bai Fa Xuan Shi sighed silently.

He suddenly felt that perhaps he should take back his previous words.

This guy named Fang Han was indeed just a very insignificant person, but his actions were worthy of the attention of any Xuan Shi.

He even felt that a considerable number of Xuan Shi couldn't compare to Fang Han in terms of fighting spirit, nor could they compare to those brave individuals who had died.

Beside him, a group of Xuan Shi from other war zones were lost in thought.

When they looked at the figure on the stage, there was no trace of disdain in their eyes.
