Chapter 56: A Great Victory at Exorcism Pass, the Tower of Glory Becomes Famous! [Please Check In and Subscribe]

The heavy city gates of the Exorcism Pass suddenly burst open.

The silver armor of the Radiant Angel Knights gleamed in the morning light. Three thousand knights, wielding heavy swords, surged forth like a silver torrent. Holy flames condensed at the tips of their spears pierced the morning mist, exploding into waves of light at the edge of the demon camp.

The assassins of the Night's Assassins transformed into black phantoms, stealthily moving along the knights' shadows, their daggers drawing graceful yet deadly arcs across the throats.

The patrolling demon sentinels didn't even have time to sound the alarm before they collapsed in the dust, clutching their bleeding necks.

At the edge of the battlefield, the roar of magic echoed everywhere.

Huge rocks, wreathed in holy flames, crashed into the demon camp like meteors, exploding into bursts of blazing fire.

The demon soldiers were awakened from their sleep and hastily picked up their weapons to fight, but they were repeatedly defeated by the human army's fierce offensive.

Screams, the clash of weapons, and the crackling of holy flames intertwined, creating a tragic yet stirring battle symphony.

When the first rays of sunlight illuminated the battlefield, the demon camp had already been divided into several sections.

The Radiant Angel Knights formed a dense formation, like an insurmountable bulldozer, firmly suppressing the main force of the demon race.

The assassins of the Night Assassins harassed the enemy forces from behind, constantly destroying the demon race's supply lines and command systems.

The demon hunters were like a sharp dagger, weaving in and out of the demon ranks, taking the lives of many demon soldiers with each attack.

……

After a day and a night, the several armies of the Exorcist Pass and the Demon Hunters returned in triumph.

During this period, they successfully drove the demon army so far that they dared not set up camp outside the Demon Exorcism Pass and had already retreated into the demon territory.

Inside the council hall of Exorcism Pass, Saint Moon and a group of generals were clad in blood-stained armor, with traces of demon blood still visible in the gaps between the armor plates.

Their eyes, however, burned with the fervor of victory.

"In this surprise attack, our army annihilated more than 5,000 elite demon troops and burned more than 30 carts of grain and supplies!"

A general covered in blood stepped forward, his voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement.

He unfolded a crumpled parchment map, densely marked with the various points of the battle.
"The Radiant Angel Knights launched a frontal assault, pinning the main demon force to the defensive line; while the brothers of the Dark Assassins, like ghosts, darted in and killed the enemy..."

"The members of the Hidden Hero Hall have also committed numerous killings!"

"..."

"It's a pity the demons reacted in time," another general sighed. "If they hadn't detected the disturbance beforehand, we could have dealt them an even heavier blow this time!"

"Don't be discouraged, everyone."

Saint Moon nodded slightly, his aged hand stroking the mountain of battle reports piled on the table: "Although this battle did not annihilate the enemy, it has greatly deterred the arrogance of the demon race. For some time to come, they probably won't dare to approach Exorcism Pass again!"

"However, this great victory is largely thanks to Feng Yao of the Warrior-level Demon Hunter Team."

The reason this had such a great effect was because the demon army did not have a demon god as its commander.

"The hero is right!" Deputy Commander Liao Tianze nodded in agreement, then suggested, "Shall we distribute the merits for killing the demon god and the rewards for the Exorcism Pass first?"

"Has the deputy commander decided on what reward to give?" the commander of the Radiant Angel Knights asked.

"More or less." Liao Tianze nodded.

“In that case, I have no objection.” The commander of the Radiant Angel Knights nodded.

“Me too,” the others chimed in.

"Add one more item: put Feng Yao's name in the Glory Tower of the Exorcism Pass!" Saint Moon said, then added:
"Although the demons were severely damaged in the end, we cannot let our guard down. We must continue to send out city defenses and scouts as usual!"

"understand!"

The generals responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout the council hall.

But he was incredibly shocked, because having his name hung on the Tower of Glory would ensure that everyone in the Exorcism Pass would remember him.

Only those who have made significant contributions are qualified to join, and not all the guardians of the exorcising gates throughout history are among them.

However, the significance of Feng Yao's killing of the Demon God is indeed very high!
Saint Moon nodded slightly upon seeing this.

In this way, Feng Yao can give some explanation for all the many merits he has made.

Meanwhile, the members of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Squad of the Warrior Rank were still cultivating in their barracks.

They did not participate in this battle, mainly because their leader, Feng Yao, was specially arranged to rest for a week due to his injuries.

While others may not have this requirement, they all have other things to do to some extent.

Wang Yuanyuan accompanied Feng Yao, Long Haochen merged with the light element spirit, and Sheng Cai'er and Han Yu were to protect Long Haochen.

Lin Xin was refining medicine, but Chen Ying'er was alone and lacked combat power.

Therefore, the entire Demon Hunter Team One did not mobilize.

Of course, Feng Yao wasn't idle either. He first redistributed the more than three thousand merit points he had obtained from the last exploration mission.

The Demon Hunter Corps now has a total of over 10,000 merit points, with each member having over 1,000.

Keep in mind that this doesn't even include the number of merits earned from killing demons.

The following afternoon, Feng Yao and Wang Yuanyuan walked side by side through the bustling market of Exorcism Pass.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the battlements as Wang Yuanyuan pointed at the fruit on her stall and haggled over the price.

Suddenly, a gasp came from behind the crowd.

"It's Commander Feng Yao!"

"And there's also the female warrior Wang Yuanyuan!"

The hawking noises around them stopped instantly, and dozens of pairs of eyes turned to look, their gazes lingering on Feng Yao and Wang Yuanyuan's faces.

"Aren't they in seclusion for rest and recuperation?" someone asked in a low voice, but their voice was drowned out by excited chatter.

Just as Wang Yuanyuan was about to speak, she saw three teenagers squeeze to the front row. One of them, blushing, raised his hand and said, "Commander Feng, could... could you give me an autograph?"

Before Feng Yao could respond, Wang Yuanyuan had already casually taken the pen and written Feng Yao's name.

Wow, it really is her!

The crowd erupted in even louder gasps, and several vendors, carrying freshly baked demon meat pancakes, crowded forward.

"Please, gentlemen! It's on me, as a way of thanking you for saving the Exorcism Pass!"

"..."

After a brief commotion, Feng Yao suddenly grabbed Wang Yuanyuan's wrist and led her to her residence.

When she turned around, she saw the crowd still surging behind her, with exclamations and footsteps echoing, and the whole street was in chaos.

Wang Yuanyuan only then realized, "Wow, what's going on? Are we that famous?!"

"I don't know." Feng Yao shook his head slightly.

Afterwards, the two returned to the barracks. At this time, Long Haochen was still fusing with the spirit furnace, and it had been three days.

Lin Xin, who sells medicine, was here early today, his face filled with shock.

"You're here so early today?" Feng Yao asked.

Starting yesterday, this guy would refine medicine in the morning, go out to sell it at noon, and come back in the evening with the things Chen Ying'er and the others needed.

"Commander, it's all because of you! Your name has been honored in the Exorcism Pass!"

Lin Xin's tone was full of envy.

"What does this mean?" Wang Yuanyuan asked Feng Yao, leaning against him, seemingly puzzled.

She and Feng Yao didn't have any particular views on this.

"Hey, didn't you know?" Lin Xin asked in surprise, then explained, "The Tower of Glory, there is a Tower of Glory in each of the six major passes of the Alliance. It records the names of people who have made great contributions to the pass!"

"This Tower of Glory will be remembered by everyone from the Chief of Staff to ordinary citizens!"

"Simply put: Commander, you're famous now!"
