Since Happy was wearing his armor, he can choose not to bow to the marshal.
“Greetings, marshal!”
Happy saluted the marshal with Qin Qiong.
In the tent was the marshal, who was over fifty but still vigorous and energetic, and he also had an incredibly astonishing presence. He sat at the center of the tent like a hill. The Prince of Qin and seven other generals who had extraordinary presences as well as high ranks stood by his side. Their bright helmets and awe-inspiring gazes caused a grim atmosphere to fill the tent!
This lineup caused even Happy, who was brave, to be unable to help himself but to exercise restraint on his mind and the aggressive air he released.
There were two other people Happy met before standing in front of the generals, but they were dressed normally, and they looked like wanderers.
One of them was Ming Cult’s master, Zhang Wuji. He was smiling at Happy.
“I knew that once you came to the army, you will definitely reveal your talents soon, and just as I expected, you did it. But truly, you did something really great this time. Priest Xi Yin and Witch Wan Wan are both evil cult elites. This is a clear sign that you have grown stronger.” Right when they met each other, Zhang Wuji was eager to send a private message to Happy.
Happy nodded with a smile and replied politely, “I was just lucky.”
Zhang Wuji smiled and said nothing else.
The other person was Wang Chongyang, who practiced Pre-heaven Skill and was at the peak of Myth Realm. He was even stronger than Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan.
Wang Chongyang was dressed in green, and there was a gratified smile on his face while he sized up Happy calmly as he walked into the tent.
The old marshal sitting on the chair released a string of hearty laughter. “Hahahaha! It’s just as they say, heroes come from the young! The young from the Murong Clan are all talented and possess extraordinary grace while possessing otherworldly strength. The rumors are indeed true!
“Yesterday, you helped me obtain a valuable map of the enemy camp, and you also obtained information about Demon General Zhao Deyan. Today, you led an army and killed nearly ten thousand Mongolain cavaliers, thereby committing great meritorious service. Now, at night, you saved Miss Shi and performed meritorious deed after meritorious deed. How should I reward you?”
“Marshal, you praise me too much.”
Happy answered calmly, “The country is in trouble, and everyone should do their duty to the country. I might be a wanderer but I understand what is right and wrong. I’m just doing what I can while I kill on the battlefield.”
“You know how to be humble and did not become arrogant because of your achievements. Not bad!” The marshal was very satisfied with Happy’s answer. He stroked his beard and looked over the eight generals. “But those who did well must be rewarded, and those committed wrong must be punished. That has always been my principle.
“Generals, Happy has committed meritorious deeds repeatedly. How should I reward him?”
The eight generals and the Prince of Qin looked at each other. One of them wrapped his fist in his palm and answered, “General, killing ten thousand cavaliers from the enemy camp is indeed a great feat, but Happy only managed to do so after he gathered more than one thousand cavaliers. Why don’t we promote him one rank further and make Happy a battalion commander so that he can lead two thousand soldiers and continue killing enemies?”
“Hm…” The marshal nodded slowly, but he noticed that Wang Chongyang had put on a displeased expression while he was by his side. His tone changed. “Reverend Chongyang, you seem to have an opinion about this. Why don’t you voice your thoughts?”
“Marshal, us wanderers don’t really know what rewards the army gives when we perform meritorious deeds, but you should indeed reward those who did well. However, we are, at the end of the day, wanderers, and sooner or later, we have to return to our lives as wanderers. Hence, these military titles are not a must for us. Perhaps the military title alone is a form of encouragement for the warriors in the army, but to us wanderers, it might not necessarily be a good thing.”
“Reverend, your words ring true.” The marshal put on a contemplative look before a stern look appeared on his face, and he made a decision. “Since that’s the case, aside from promoting you to a battalion commander, I will reward you with another thirty thousand points!”
A system notification rang in Happy’s mind.
“Ding!
“Completed quest!
