Chapter 465: Outstanding results

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Canyang said .

It was obvious . . .

Neither Canyang nor Fang Zhengzhi was dead . Ordinarily, the two of them should continue fighting!

What was happening?

One went to try on armor from a corpse whilst the other is talking about exchanging hostages?

All of the soldiers looked at each other and saw nothing but confusion in each other's eyes .

The only explanation they could come up with was . . .

The two of them must be crazy . . .

How else could you explain what was happening?

No one could understand .

Countless eyes stared at Canyang .

They could only wait for the answer to be revealed .

Perhaps the answer would lie in Canyang's next move or Chi Guyan's answer .

Chi Guyan's hair and pink dress danced in the wind .

”Okay . ” Chi Guyan nodded without hesitation . She proposed no terms of her own, almost as if she had already expected this .

”Mm . ” Canyang nodded .

There were no unnecessary words or emotions . Chi Guyan looked as calm as ever .

All of the soldiers couldn't believe their eyes .

”What is happening?”

”It's done?!”

”That's all?”

Every soldier on the battlefield, regardless of demon or human, were utterly confused .

This was unbelievable!

If things were that simple, what was the point of the battle just now? Countless humans and demons had died for nothing!

They couldn't understand it . . .

Until . . .

They heard a ruckus behind them .

It was definitely from some distance away . It came from the direction of the Iron Hill Settlement, and the noises were approaching quickly .

However, when the soldiers heard the noises, their expressions changed .

The demons tensed up .

The soldiers of the joint forces heaved a sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted off their shoulders .

One could see joy and relief in their eyes . Victory was a.s.sured .

After an entire day of grueling battle . . .

The reinforcements had arrived .

Even though this was only the vanguard, the arrival of these soldiers meant that the battle was over .

At this point . . .

Everyone finally understood why Canyang would propose the idea of exchanging hostages to Chi Guyan .

They also understood why the exchange went so smoothly .

Because . . .

The battle was meaningless at this point .

The result was clear .

Any battle now would result in heavy losses on all sides . This was something that no one wanted to partake in .

In a battle to the death between two powerhouses . . .

There will be one who will emerge victorious .

However, if one was not significantly stronger than the other, then any victory would be pyrrhic and would not last very long .

In fact . . .

It was rare for armies to fight battles that they knew would result in pyrrhic victories .

One of the rare examples was the battle outside the Great Xia's capital .

It was a brutal battle .

A battle which neither the demons nor the humans wanted to think about . They didn't want history to repeat itself .

”Master, you . . . ” Yun Qingwu could hear the noises from afar, but she chose to ignore them . She didn't give the withdrawal order either .

She looked at Canyang . There were no tears in her eyes, but she was slightly worried .

Canyang didn't advice Yun Qingwu to give the order for withdrawal either . He extended his hand and ruffled Yun Qingwu's hair .

The demons stayed in their positions .

The soldiers of the joint forces gripped their weapons in antic.i.p.ation .

This was the final defence .

They could not let down their guard until the reinforcements arrived .

The tension in the air was thick . . .

Shan Ling was extremely nervous . He could hear the reinforcements coming, but he didn't know if they were Southern Region soldiers or Great Xia soldiers!

There was only one person who didn't seem nervous .

That person was Fang Zhengzhi .

After donning his armor, Fang Zhengzhi tidied his hair, wiggled his hips, then walked over to Ping Yang .

”Let's go . ” Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched .

”Go? Where?” Ping Yang asked doubtfully .

”Rubbis.h.!.+ I've had a long night of fighting! I'm famished, aren't you?” Fang Zhengzhi chided .

Ping Yang stared blankly at Fang Zhengzhi . She knew that this fella had just eaten .

”You . . . you're not full?” Ping Yang asked doubtfully .
