Monarch of Evernight: Ninety-fifth Ceremony

bsp;Bai Songnian was suddenly startled, showing obvious surprise. He never expected that his insightful gaze would be calmly blocked by a junior.

If he adds more strength, he can naturally penetrate Qianye's force defense, but Bai Songnian can talk to Zhao Xuanji on an equal footing. With such status and status, if the first attack failed, how could he have the nerve to do it a second time. Besides, Zhao Xuanji looked at him with a rather unkind look. Did he want to explain to this old enemy that he had never seen through the junior at a glance?

Bai Song has been through many storms for a long time, and he lost his temper only for a moment. He quickly recovered his smiling appearance, nodded and said: "Sure enough, you are extraordinary and worthy of the courtesy given to you by the Zhao clan."

"Thank you very much." Qianye's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he accepted this compliment without being humble or arrogant.

The two convoys of Bai Clan and Zhao Clan marched together and had already arrived outside the Chinese army camp. The convoy stopped in a wide area outside the gate. Only Zhao Xuanji and Bai Songnian's cars could continue to drive in. Other vehicles could not go in, even Zhao Jundu and Bai Aotu were no exception.

A high platform has been set up on the edge of the largest school field in the Chinese Army. Iron-clad guards stand all around, and the atmosphere is solemn.

The powerful figures from various aristocratic families who came out to lead the army this time, such as Zhao Xuanji, naturally took their seats on the stage. The commanders of those small aristocratic families and second- and third-rate armies also found a seat on the edge. The rest of the aristocratic families and the large armies waited There are only seats available around the school grounds. The positions of Qianye and others were on the school grounds in front of the high platform, where areas were divided according to the rank order of the powerful families.

In the center of the high platform, Zhang Boqian's position was still empty. Although he was not there, no one made any loud noises at the venue. Familiar families would only say hello to each other when they met, and few people had long conversations. Otherwise, everyone was waiting for the award ceremony to begin.

Qianye stood in the queue of the Zhao family for a moment, and suddenly heard the horns blasting from all over the camp, vigorous and melodious, echoing for a long time before resting.

After the horn sounded three times, followed by three drum beats, everyone on the field felt awe at the same time, as if boundless majesty had fallen.

Qianye felt something in his heart. He raised his head and looked towards the high platform, only to see a majestic man sitting on the handsome chair in the center. He was just sitting there, but Qianye felt that there was a high mountain peak rising in his field of vision, and for a moment he could not even breathe.

When the sound of the drums faded away, Zhang Boqian said slowly: "This battle of Eternal Night began with a **** battle and ended with the battle of Sleep of the Behemoth. The whole empire is full of heart and soul, and we have made great achievements. I have made great achievements. The Qin Dynasty established its country by force, and has always given the most generous rewards for military merit. Today, my king will commend the meritorious officers on behalf of His Majesty, as a model for all military officers."

Zhang Boqian's voice didn't sound very loud, but it spread throughout the entire empire camp, allowing everyone to hear it clearly. Moreover, his voice was not limited to the imperial camp, but continued to spread in all directions. The farther away it became, the louder it became. From very far away, it was rumbling like a tsunami and thunder!

In the wilderness outside the imperial camp, dozens of figures suddenly jumped out from the ground, grass, and trees, rolling all over the ground, appearing to be in agony. It didn't take long for them all to bleed from their mouths and noses and die. These were the spies left by Yongye's side to spy on the military situation. They were originally hiding quite secretly. Who knew they would lose their lives in this way.

At this moment, an iron-clad guard next to him brought a tray with a large bowl of strong liquor. There were sergeants walking among the crowd on and off the stage, offering bowls of wine to everyone attending the ceremony.

Zhang Boqian picked up the wine bowl, stood up, looked around, and said: "It is said that one general can achieve thousands of bones. Our glory today is actually the blood of countless robes. Therefore, before awarding the reward, I Drink this cup with all your colleagues as a sacrifice to the deceased."

Everyone was solemn, followed Zhang Boqian's bow, and then drank the strong wine in the bowl in one gulp.

After drinking this large bowl of wine, Qianye suddenly felt a fire rising from his belly, and felt vaguely in a trance. In the somewhat blurry vision, the faces of many former comrades appeared unconsciously. For a moment, I felt extremely desolate and could only sigh.

After drinking, Zhang Boqian sat down again, and a general next to him presented a list of names. Zhang Boqian took the list, glanced at it, nodded, and said: "The rewards for individuals this time will be combined into the three battles of Bloody Battle, Sleep of the Behemoth, and the capture of Yongye Camp. What do you think?"

No matter on stage or off, no one has any objections. Although not everyone from each family participated in these three battles, some people will always appear to be disadvantaged by such a ranking, but the risks taken by the participants in the whole process are the greatest, and it is impossible to say anything against it. Moreover, this result must have been sent to the imperial court and read by the emperor. Even if someone really had objections, they would not dare to speak out on such an occasion.

Zhang Boqian waited for a moment, and when he saw that the whole place was completely silent, he immediately said: "The person who has the first military merit, Bai Clan Bai Bu, will be recorded as a first-class meritorious person."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Bai clan burst into joy and roared like thunder. Bai Songnian on the stage smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to slits. He kept bowing his hands and accepting congratulations from all parties.

At this moment, the scenery of Bai Vale is unique.

To achieve first-class military merit in the empire, you need to kill a Marquis of Glory. However, the Marquis of Glory is almost the supreme commander of the dark army on the ground battlefield. In the three battles, no commander of the opponent was killed. Bai Aotu was awarded first-class merit, which means that she killed at least two marquis-level dark powerhouses. , and multiple inferior enemies, and finally accumulated this credit.

Even so, he is still proud of the army.

The imperial military merits have the richest rewards, and first-class military merits can be exchanged for eighth-level force firearms, or rewards of equal value.

Bai Aufu, still dressed in ancient plain clothes, climbed up to the high platform step by step and took a jade plaque engraved with gold characters from Zhang Boqian's hand. This jade plaque is a certificate of military merit, which can be exchanged for corresponding items from the imperial treasury in the future.

In Qianye’s impression, Bai Aufu was a character who would not change his color even if the world collapsed. But now she was standing in front of Zhang Boqian, and when she took the jade token, her hands were trembling slightly, and she was obviously unable to control herself. This surprised not only Qianye, but also everyone on stage and off stage who noticed it.

Bai Aotu lost her composure for just a moment. In the blink of an eye, her eyes returned to clarity, and her domineering aura returned. But in front of Zhang Boqian, this momentum seemed quite weak, like a small tree in front of a peak.

However, all the important figures on the stage from well-known families nodded their heads, and Bai Songnian even looked smug, smiling so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. As a king-level expert, Zhang Boqian could just stand there casually without any deliberate effort, and he was still intimidating.

Being able to show off even a trace of aura in front of Zhang Boqian is no small matter. Bai Aotu's bright future has always been proclaimed by the Bai clan. Now he has shown his strength in front of many powerful families and legion generals, which makes Bai Songnian's face shine brightly.

Of course, not everyone expressed their admiration for Bai Boutu. Some of the exchanged glances that had always been at odds with Bai Valve had other meanings. It would be rude to forcefully show off your momentum in front of a strong man whose status and strength far exceed your own. If it were a narrow-minded person, this move would have offended the other party.

No matter what everyone on the stage had in mind, Zhang Boqian's expression remained as usual. He showed neither anger nor appreciation. It seemed that in his eyes, there was no difference between Bai Boutu and the soldiers on the entire school field.

Zhang Boqian just nodded and said: "You must serve the empire more in the future."

After awarding the award, there should be a few words of encouragement as usual, but Zhang Boqian's words were quite satisfactory, without any additional meaning of appreciation, which inevitably made Bai Songnian a little disappointed. But then he thought about it, Zhang Boqian's nature was like this, and he might not treat anyone differently, so he felt at ease.

Bai Aotu put away the jade medal of military merit, and someone lured her away.

Next, Zhang Boqian said: "The second person with military merit, Zhao Jundu, the leader of Zhao, is credited with first-class merit."

As soon as this statement came out, there was quite a stir on the scene.

Zhao Jundu really became famous in the late stages of the **** battle. It only took a few months for him to be promoted to the rank of general. During the **** battle, due to the Iron Curtain of Heavenly Ghosts, most of the participants were below count. Even if they killed many people, their achievements would be limited. Although there were activities of the Dark Marquis in the Sleep of Behemoths later on, Zhao Jundu was only at level 12 after all. With such a huge level gap, it was impossible to kill his opponent.

Although everyone admits that Zhao Jundu is extremely talented, he is still too young and his level of Force power is limited. Many people couldn't believe that he was able to be on the list and ranked second.

The second-class military merit of the empire requires the killing of a powerful marquis. If Zhao Jundu obtains this merit, it must be achieved through sheer force, which is simply shocking. Such a large number means that opponents of the same level may not be able to survive a few encounters with Zhao Jundu.

Hearing his name being called, Zhao Jundu stood up calmly, straightened his clothes, and then climbed up the stairs step by step, climbed to the high platform, and stood in front of Zhang Boqian.

Zhao Jundu’s appearance once again caused a buzz of murmurs on and off the stage. The fourth son of the Zhao clan is famous in the empire, but since he started suppressing the hierarchy five years ago, he rarely goes out to various social occasions, so not many people have seen him in person.

At this moment, everyone saw it with their own eyes, and all their eyes lit up. Zhao Jundu’s appearance and bearing were all at their best. Whether they were Zhao Clan’s allies or enemies, they all secretly said "Hello". They felt deeply that just with this appearance and bearing, he was worthy of his reputation. The title of the first person of the younger generation.

Standing in front of Zhang Boqian, Zhao Jundu frowned slightly and felt a layer of invisible pressure. He couldn't even breathe smoothly, let alone speak. Zhang Boqian did not deliberately restrain his momentum today, so that the natural power that overflowed inadvertently already put Zhao Jundu under heavy pressure, as if a mountain was slowly sinking on his back.

Under the heavy pressure, Zhao Jundu's whole body's force naturally circulated, and he tried his best to resist. Suddenly, his whole body shook slightly, and a green energy immediately rose into the sky above his head, condensing and not dissipating, and then slowly disappeared after a moment.

The people sitting here are all strong and experienced generals with extraordinary vision. Someone immediately praised: "What a green energy!"

Zhang Boqian also glanced at Zhao Jundu, nodded slightly, and said: "The foundation is good, and it should be like this in the future. Don't be arrogant, don't be deceived by external things, and stay true to your heart."

Zhao Jundu's expression moved slightly, he made a military salute and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice."

Zhang Boqian said no more and handed a jade medal of military merit to Zhao Jundu. This jade plate also has the words "First Class" written on it, but the gold engraved text has an extra silver piping to distinguish it from the real "First Class Military Merit".

Zhang Boqian only said a few words, but the expressions of everyone on the high platform changed a lot.
