After every major war in the past, not to mention defeat, monks from all walks of life in the army would be punished to varying degrees, and in severe cases, they would even be sentenced.
And if it is a victory, after they report their military merits, the rear will send someone to carefully verify it. Once anyone is found to have falsely claimed military merits, all the monks involved will be severely punished.
But even if there is a strict inspection of the reported military exploits, while the army is fighting desperately at the front, some people still feel that they and their brothers are fighting so hard, and they will still exaggerate their military exploits in some inconspicuous places, just to get more rewards.
For such matters, it depends on the relationship between the verification monk sent from above and the commander of the army, or whether the monk who lied about his military exploits is having good or bad luck.
But no matter what, the final verification results are usually only awarded to about 70% of the reported combat merit.
For a large army, a massive amount of resources will be deprived, but this is also the default rule for rewarding large armies.
When Demon Emperor Tengzhang opened his mouth today, he approved the rewards for reporting military merits one by one. He did not mention at all that after verification, rewards would be given according to merits.
This basically shows that the clan's satisfaction with this attack completely exceeded the "quite satisfactory" level stated by Demon Emperor Tengzhang, and all military merit reports were directly approved.
These generals have been talking about this matter in private these days, knowing that this is definitely a great achievement.
So when they reported it, they basically reported it according to the highest limit. Thinking about it, even if the superiors came to investigate, this victory was an indisputable fact.
No matter how the other party cuts it, the resources they finally get are enough to satisfy them.
Unexpectedly, the military report from above turned out to be completely passed this time. How could these generals not be ecstatic in their hearts? They couldn't help but look at the back of Mu Guyue in front of them with the corners of their eyes, and each of them felt more respect in their hearts.
Of course, at this time, they also thought of the Grey Mask monk, and felt that if they had the opportunity, it would be better to thank him in person!
As Demon Emperor Tengzhang paused for a moment, he immediately felt the aura fluctuations coming from the people below, and he continued to speak with a smile.
"... In addition, other armies will come to take over the first line of defense tomorrow. Your entire army will be moved to the rear for rest. At the same time, you will be dispatched to replace the lost monks later! In addition..."
About dozens of breaths later, Demon Emperor Tengzhang explained the follow-up matters one by one, and the generals below also heard bursts of joy in their hearts.
They have been fighting on the front line for a long time, and even as monks, they feel physically and mentally exhausted.
However, when they were unable to attack for a long time, they were too shameless to ask for a break. Could it be that if they let others bite this hard nut, they would be outmatched in one fell swoop.
This is a great shame in any army, let alone Black Devil Race, who highly respects the strong.
After the victory of this surprise attack, they had already guessed that there would be a rest, but before that, they would still face counterattacks from the enemy at any time, and no one knew how many people would die by then!
Today, we finally received the real order, which made all the generals breathe a long sigh of relief. The joy in their hearts because of the reward suddenly rose again...
Immediately, Demon Emperor Tengzhang asked everyone except Mu Guyue to disperse. Only Mu Guyue was left standing below in the Chinese army tent, and Demon Emperor Tengzhang spoke again.
"This great victory has broken the long-standing confrontation in our direction, and Fellow Daoist Li has also made great contributions here.
Although he is not a monk in the military, and his military achievements have not been reported, we at Black Devil Race will not be stingy with the benefits that should be given to him.
No matter what your request is, you can just put it forward, or you can send a message now and ask Fellow Daoist Li to come over and discuss it with me face to face. We will do our best to satisfy him! "
Demon Emperor Tengzhang said slowly. After talking about the important events in the army, he expressed Black Devil Race's attitude towards those who helped him.
Now he fully recognized Li Yan. Not only was the opponent highly skilled in martial arts, but he also came to help with more than just empty words. In such a short period of time, he achieved a great victory.
This made the Demon Emperors like them have a strong interest in Grey Mask. Although this person seemed to be pretending to be mysterious, the fact that he was extraordinary was an undeniable fact.
The monk surnamed Li is not only superb in cultivation, but also very proficient in the art of concealment. The preliminary preparations for this surprise attack were all made by the other party alone.
And no one feels too sure about the same thing when they, the Demon Emperors, are asked to do it. Of course, Sandstar King Stone is also the key to all this...
From what Demon Emperor Tengzhang said just now, we know that they have treated Li Yan as an equal general, which is already a major difference from how they treat other Human Race monks at the same level.
Mu Guyue immediately bowed and saluted, and at the same time, his suspicions about Li Yan became more certain.
Li Yan had told her some things a few days ago, which made Mu Guyue doubtful. But Tengzhang's statement today basically confirms that Li Yan is indeed as smart as a demon.
"Sir, my husband does not need any reward. I personally invited him to come here. He did it out of personal feelings!"
Mu Guyue immediately replied, Li Yan actually has some benefits for him, but he won't refuse in his heart. Instead, he feels that the more the better.
But after Mu Guyue and Mu Sha were unwilling to leave with him, he needed to consider more things.
For example, Black Devil Race will definitely give benefits, but Li Yan cannot ask for them. Once the benefits are taken, both parties will be cleared. If he does not take them, the other party will always owe him a favor.
And this kind of favor can always be left behind, and in the future, even after Li Yan leaves, it will slowly be transferred to Mu Guyue mother and son.
And the other party only felt that it was just a little care. This was not a return of Li Yan's favor. Instead, it would form a long-term relationship...
Li Yan is good at all kinds of calculations. How could he put himself at a disadvantage in something that was already predictable?
After hearing this, Demon Emperor Tengzhang's eyes flashed as expected. The other party didn't need any benefits. This was really beyond his expectation.
You have to know that the thing Black Devil Race can take out, and it is given to a Void Refinement Realm monk, how can it be some vulgar thing? The monk surnamed Li was able to save his face last time. He is definitely not a weak-minded person.
But it was obvious that the other party had already made a decision, so Mu Guyue answered very simply, without any intention of asking for his dao companion opinion.
"Are you sure?"
Demon Emperor Tengzhang asked again.
"Yes, sir!"
"Mu Guyue, the dao companion you chose is really extraordinary! To be honest, when I first learned that he was a Human Race monk, I was really disappointed with you.
You are a demon commander that I have always valued very much. Among so many demon commanders in the clan, you can command an army, which is a testament to how talented you are.
The clan is in need of talents like you who keep emerging, but your dao companion is a Human Race monk, which made me very surprised and dissatisfied at first.
But the facts have proven that I was wrong. Your vision is the same as your character. It is higher than that of many other people in your clan. Even I can't compare to the strength of fellow Daoist Li. "
When he said this, Demon Emperor Tengzhang also shook his head slightly.
Although he is still cold-blooded and ruthless, his personality is more straightforward. If he can beat someone, he can beat him. If he can't beat him, he will not deny it.
The last time Li Yan left him face, which made him feel that Li Yan was a trustworthy person, so it was not until later that there were no other demon emperors coming to trouble Li Yan.
That's why he said a lot when he went back. Otherwise, there are still many people who want to come over and fight Li Yan for monk Human Race. This is also the character of monk Black Devil Race.
And today, in front of Mu Guyue, he did not hide anything in his heart and expressed all his dissatisfaction and apologies.
Mu Guyue did not speak again this time, but stood silently below.
"Hahaha... Now that Fellow Daoist Li and you have made a decision, we can only say that we accept Fellow Daoist Li's love.
Also... the Sandstar King Stone that Fellow Daoist Li took out this time, I wonder if it can be purchased by my clan. You have a more intuitive feeling of the wonderful use of this thing. I don't need to say more about its preciousness to the army.
Or it would be okay if Fellow Daoist Li can provide clues to obtain this object, but if he provides such clues, Fellow Daoist Li will have to benefit.
We will not get it in vain no matter what, but I don't know if Daoyou Li will help..."
After a slight hesitation, Demon Emperor Tengzhang revealed his other purpose. This was his main purpose of leaving Mu Guyue alone.
With the name Sandstar King Stone, among the Demon Emperors, only some of them have heard of the name of the Sand Star Stone. This thing is very rare in the turbulent space.
Usually they only appear in certain special areas, but when you hear the names of these two, you know that there must be a connection between them.
The name Sandstar King Stone was what they originally called Great Master. Naturally, it is impossible for anyone to call it that in other places.
At the same time, there is already a big difference between Sandstar King Stone and Sand Star Stone. It is a new treasure that Great Master and the others refined after generations of exploration after adding other turbulent space materials.
After Black Devil Race saw the miraculous effect of this thing, they immediately wanted to get Sandstar King Stone, and the most direct way, of course, was to buy this thing from Li Yan.
The best thing is to get clues about where this thing came from, so that they will definitely send people to collect it later, and they will have a continuous source of follow-up!
Mu Guyue, who lowered her head below, did not show any surprise in her eyes. When the other party mentioned Li Yan before, she had already thought of what would happen next.
Sure enough, the other party wanted to give benefits first and bring the relationship closer between the two parties before further proposing their purpose. To be precise, this was the result that Li Yan had guessed a long time ago.
