The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 122 Haotian Flag! (8th update)
When the news of the withdrawal spread, many soldiers who had been resting and recuperating in their tents in the military camp walked out in a daze.

After hearing the several deputy generals' repeated and loud announcements, some life gradually appeared on their numb faces, and then a wailing and sorrowful sound was heard.

Many soldiers cried bitterly, while others ran directly to the grave mound, found their former comrades, cried and laughed, then grabbed a handful of soil in front of the grave, hid it in their armor, and took it back home.

"Report to the commander!"

"Of the 100,000 Blood Evil Soldiers in the Red Letter Camp, 9,623 have returned to the team!"

"Please advise!!"

A middle-aged deputy general who was a illegitimate son of the Li family came in front of Li Hongzhuang and spoke in a hoarse and powerful voice.

His eyes were already moist.

Li Hongzhuang's cheeks, as white as snow and moon, trembled slightly. Her eyes swept across the deputy general in front of her, and looked at the haggard and pale faces behind him, which were full of tears and expectation.

Finally, her eyes fell on the grave mound in the distance.

The remaining 90,000 people are buried here.

Those were all soldiers she trained personally!
The vastness of the tomb is far more than 90,000 square meters. The troops led by my third and sixth brothers are also buried here, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Even Li Hongzhuang, who had long been numb, couldn't help but have slightly red eyes at this moment.

She controlled her emotions, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I declare that the Blood Evil Army will set off today and go home!!"

The three words "going home" echoed in the ears of 9,632 soldiers, and all of them had tears in their eyes.

"All Blood Evil Army, received!!"

The three lieutenants, including all the soldiers, shouted in unison.

They are talking about everyone, including the more than 90,000 heroic souls buried there, and they also want to bring their heroic souls home.

Finally, they can embark on the journey home...

Amid the voices of people crying with excitement, a deputy general stepped forward, bowed to Li Hongzhuang, and asked, "Commander-in-chief, where are our reinforcements?"

"Reinforcements..."

Li Hongzhuang looked at Li Hao beside her and said, "He is here to replace your reinforcements."

The deputy general looked at Li Hao and his body shook.

The one who succeeded them... was actually this child?

"Commander, this..."

"Don't ask anymore. Go home early. It will be late and the road will be hard to travel on!" Li Hongzhuang's face returned to its stern and indifferent state.

Seeing this, the deputy general didn't dare to say anything more. He nodded, looked at Li Hao twice, and remembered the appearance of this young man.

The other soldiers also heard the conversation between the two. After the excitement, they were all shocked. They all retreated. They actually left this place to a child?
Seeing this, many soldiers shouted anxiously and asked the reason, while others said that since this was the case, they would stay too.

But Li Hongzhuang just kept a cold face and did not respond. Under the shouting of several deputy generals, everyone was finally driven away to pack up their armor and equipment and then set off for home.

Li Hao watched silently as the soldiers passed by him. He could smell the dust and the strong smell of blood on these old soldiers.

The little white fox squatted at his feet, very well-behaved.

Ren Qianqian held a sword and stood quietly behind Li Hao. When the girl saw the scars on the soldiers' bodies, their torn armor, and their bent sword blades, she felt her heart tremble and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Commander, you're not leaving?"

Another deputy general looked at Li Hongzhuang and couldn't help but ask.

Li Hongzhuang shook her head slightly: "You go first, I will come later, no need to wait for me."

She knew that if she said she would stay here, many of these soldiers would probably follow her and would not be able to leave even if they were driven away.

After all, we have fought together and risked our lives side by side for all these years, so how could we easily abandon each other?

Hearing this, the deputy general hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Hao. He still couldn't understand why a young man who looked like a rich man would be sent as reinforcement to guard this isolated city and wasteland.

But Li Hongzhuang didn't explain, and they couldn't guess. Military law was as strong as a mountain, and they could only enforce it.

With the departure of more than 9,000 people, the camp suddenly became quiet and empty.

Only Li Hongzhuang, Li Hao, Ren Qianqian and a little fox are left here.

Li He is missing. He told Li Hongzhuang privately that he would only take action in secret and when Li Hao's life is in danger, and he would not take care of anything else.

Li Hongzhuang didn't say anything about this.

She learned a little about the matter between Li Hao and Seventh Brother from Li He, but after all, she was not actually involved and did not know the specific circumstances.

Her only thought was to defend this isolated city.

In addition to explaining Li Hao's affairs, Li He also conveyed a message to her.

That is, Dayu is now facing a time when smoke of war is everywhere and demons are causing chaos in various places. Emperor Yu has decided to temporarily abandon the Tianmen Pass.

When Dayu regains his power in the future, he will take it back.

In this way, even if this place is lost, no one will be blamed. If there is any punishment, Li Tiangang will bear it.

As for Li Tiangang's great contributions to Yanbei, he was at most reprimanded and had some salary deducted. The so-called punishment was just to show the other officials.

In other words, this place has already been abandoned.

There will be no more reinforcements coming!

Li He told Li Hongzhuang that she could leave at any time and not to lose her life here.

But leaving?

Li Hongzhuang looked at the huge mound of graves. Before her eyes was the scene where her third brother and sixth brother had drunk and fought here, shedding their blood. Every inch of the land here was stained with the blood of their soldiers!
Emperor Yu wants to give up, and Seventh Brother wants to give up, but... she doesn't want to give up! !
Li Hongzhuang took a deep breath, put away her emotions, and came to the camp.

Although these soldiers left, some tents were not completely withdrawn. Leaving them here could serve as a cover to fool the demons into thinking that they had a large number of people.

"Just find a tent. The conditions here are very simple. Since the city was conquered, there have been no civilians here. They were all moved away more than ten years ago."

Li Hongzhuang said casually to Li Hao and walked straight into the camp.

Li Hao nodded, looked around, and then saw graves of varying heights in the distance.

He walked over with Ren Qianqian and the little white fox, and glanced over, seeing names or unified titles carved on the wooden signs.

The cold wind made Li Hao feel a chill in his bones.

"Are these... all the heroes who died here?" Ren Qianqian's pretty face turned pale, she covered her mouth slightly, and said in a trembling voice. Seeing with her own eyes that there were more than 100,000 graves, the shock was indescribable.

The little white fox who loved to jump around stopped moving at this moment. It sat quietly at Li Hao's feet and watched quietly.

Li Hao was silent for a moment.

He came here just to repay his own blood.

After three years, the debt will be paid off.

However, seeing the countless soldiers here at this moment, he suddenly felt that in addition to repaying his bones and blood, there seemed to be some other meaning in coming here.

During these three years, it seems that I should... do something more.

It’s a pity that his current cultivation is still too weak.

A master of heaven and man is considered capable of founding a school in the country, but in this dangerous border, he may die at any time, and he has to rely on Old Feng to protect him secretly.

If one reaches the Three Immortal Realms, one will be able to protect oneself.

"My cultivation is still improving too slowly..." Li Hao's eyes were deep.

Although entering the realm of heaven and man at the age of fourteen was shocking enough, it was not enough for the current situation.

He needs to become even stronger and improve even faster!
Li Hao took a deep breath, left the cemetery and came to the camp.

He looked in other tents but found nothing to eat or drink. As he walked along, he saw Li Hongzhuang sitting on the small mound with the word "Cangya City" engraved on it, wiping the blade of the sword in her hand.

"Senior Hongzhuang."

Li Hao called out and walked over.

Li Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows slightly, frowned at the boy who was approaching, and said, "You should call me aunt."

"I am no longer a member of the Li family." Li Hao said.

Li Hongzhuang thought of Li He's words, her face darkened, and she asked, "Why did it become like this?"

Li Hao shook his head slightly, not wanting to mention it, and asked: "It's almost evening, are you hungry? I'll go find something to eat."

"Night is approaching and demons are lurking around. You'd better not leave without permission." Li Hongzhuang said. She knew that Li He would protect Li Hao in secret, but she still didn't want Li Hao to take risks easily.

Li Hao looked up and saw that the moon had risen and the stars were gradually appearing.

He smiled slightly, turned around and left the small mound, leading Ren Qianqian and the little white fox to walk casually around the camp, shuttling between tents.

These tents were cleaned up very cleanly, but there were still some broken armors and tattered and smelly clothes left inside. Li Hao found the kitchen camp and dug out some salt jars.

He smiled, summoned his spirit and patrolled the surroundings. Soon he found a monster in the wilderness surrounding the camp.

He bent down, picked up a broken sword fragment on the ground, and threw it away like a skipping stone on the water.

The fragments flew out, broke through the air in an instant, and appeared thirty miles away. With a "puff" sound, it accurately pierced the monster's head.

The monster's body trembled twice and then it lost its life.

Li Hao used his power to control objects and took the corpse over.

This is a monster weighing about three tons, looking like a pig or a lion, with protruding fangs.

Li Hao picked up Ren Qianqian's sword and used it as a meat-cleaver. He cut open the monster's body, then quickly processed the internal organs and cut it into pieces.

"Qianqian, help build the fire."

"Ah."

After these few days of journey, Ren Qianqian had already gotten used to helping Li Hao. She nodded and looked around for some firewood. Soon, she had lit a bonfire.

Li Hao had also processed the monsters at this time. He picked and chose, taking out the essence, and pierced it with sharpened wooden sticks or broken gun barrels picked up on the ground, and then grilled it over the campfire.

Li Hao cooked simply with salt and seasonings, but as the barbecue sizzled and the oil dripped, the aroma still wafted out.

While the monster meat was being grilled, Li Hao came to a tent.

He looked at the tent with black and yellow patterns, put it away, then cut it with his sword, cutting out several evenly shaped pieces of cloth.

Then they braided the monster's hair into a brush, dipped it in its blood, and began to draw on the cloth.

"What are you doing?"

Li Hongzhuang found the fragrance, walked down from the small mound, came quietly to the campfire, and suddenly asked Li Hao who was busy.

Li Hao looked up at her, smiled, and said, "Your Blood Evil Army has withdrawn, and the military flag has also been withdrawn. I am making a new battle flag."

"I didn't take away all my military flags. Some of them were left here," said Li Hongzhuang.

Li Hao smiled slightly: "That's yours, this battle flag is mine."

"Ok?"

Li Hongzhuang looked over.

At this time, Li Hao had also finished writing. He released his strength and squeezed the blood off the cloth. Then he waved his hand, and the power of controlling objects extended to the jungle several miles away, cutting down several trees and taking them in.

The trees were quickly whittled down into sticks.

Li Hao wrapped it with excess cloth, tied it at one end, and inserted the other end into the ground to prop it up.

In this way, a simple battle flag was formed.

The fabric fell down, fluttering in the night breeze.

Two large characters written in the monster's blood appeared:
Haotian!

Li Hongzhuang was stunned for a long while before she turned to look at Li Hao: "You are actually in the Fifteen Mile Realm?"

Li Hao shook his head slightly.

"I am in the realm of heaven and man." He said truthfully.

"?"

Li Hongzhuang's pupils contracted and she was stunned immediately.

Realm of Heaven and Humanity?
Li He did not tell her about Li Hao's practice, but only told her about some things that happened in the mansion.

However, she has been at the border all year round and is extremely isolated from news from within the country. She has to be on guard against monsters every day, so how can she have the time to care about what is happening within the country?
