When Elder Mo heard this, he looked startled and looked at Shi Mu. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he seemed to remember Shi Mu's identity.
"Oh, it turns out to be you. Sorry, I didn't recognize it for a moment. As for the mission to attack Stronghold No. 9, you did a great job. Thank you for your hard work. By the way, I have to tell you some good news. With this battle, the alliance
Take back two key strongholds and severely weaken the Black Demon Clan. You have made great contributions, and the alliance will reward you afterwards." Elder Mo said.
"I don't think a commendation is necessary! I'm afraid that the nearly 400 people who attacked Stronghold No. 9 are basically dead. No matter how big the reward is, it will be of little use to the dead." Shi Mu raised his eyebrows.
There is no politeness in the words.
As soon as these words came out, Elder Mo's face darkened, and the expressions of many people present also changed, and they all looked at Shi Mu with incredulous eyes.
After all, in their opinion, daring to speak to a saint-level being like this was something they would never dare to think about in the past.
"Shi Mu, I am also very sad for those who sacrificed their lives. I am very happy that you can come back alive. The alliance is now in the midst of recruiting people and needs a brave and capable captain like you. If you need anything, it doesn't matter. The alliance will do its best.
Everything is possible." Elder Mo said as he stretched out his hand to stop several Heavenly Disciples who had stood up.
"Elder Mo, Mr. Shi is here today. I just want to ask you one thing. Tens of thousands of Alliance disciples like us have been fighting to the death against the Black Demon clan on the front line these years. In your eyes, are we just abandoned soldiers who can be discarded at any time?"
Shi Mu said slowly.
Shi Mu's words were heard by several Holy Realm elders present. After all, although the previous decision came from Elder Mo, it was impossible for them to be unaware of it.
However, these few people did not have the slightest intention to answer this, as if they did not hear it.
Elder Mo, who was sitting in the middle, was silent for a moment and then said slowly:
"War is about strategy. It requires an overview of the overall situation and weighing the pros and cons. If you want to achieve the final victory, you must pay a corresponding price, and casualties are inevitable. Now the Black Demon Clan has broken through the barrier and attacked me, Miyang Star.
Thousands of creatures in the domain are watching with eager eyes. In terms of your sacrifice, it is for the entire star domain. The so-called skin is gone, and the hair will be attached. For individuals, it is also a kind of training. After all, only after going through hardships can we be able to continue.
Gain insights and break through bottlenecks.”
"What Elder Mo said is so righteous! But even if we are asked to carry out a dangerous mission, why not explain it to us in advance? Is it because you are worried that we will not want to go? If we are prepared, these four hundred disciples will not
As for ending up with almost the entire army being wiped out, right? You keep saying you feel sorry for those who died, but why is it that what I saw is not the same?" Shi Mu sneered and asked three times in a row.
Elder Mo frowned and said nothing.
"Since Elder Mo can't answer, then Shi can't stay in this floating city fortress, so he has to resign." Shi Mu said with a cold face.
"Bold, you first made rude remarks, contradicted Elder Mo, and committed a disobedient crime. Now you want to be timid and run away halfway..." The enchanting young woman with thick makeup on her face said angrily with her hands on her hips.
"Shi has been fighting for the alliance on the front line for more than ten years. He has already passed the agreed ten-year duty period. If you want to leave, why not? Who are you? I am asking Elder Mo to resign. What do you want to do with me?
What?" Shi Mu glared at her coldly and asked.
"You..." When the charming young woman heard this, she was speechless for a moment.
"Junior Brother Shi, don't be angry. This is Junior Sister Fu Yao of the Lichen Sect. She also participated in the previous battle. During the attack on stronghold No. 10, she fought desperately to kill the enemy. Our alliance was able to successfully capture the stronghold. She played a great role.
." The bald man Jung said.
"Oh, if I remember correctly, not long after we attacked Stronghold No. 9, we were ambushed by hundreds of reinforcements from Stronghold No. 10, including at least dozens of Celestial Demons. Dare I ask this, Senior Sister Fu?
, faced with less than one-third of the remaining defenders of Stronghold No. 10, how did you fight to the death?" Shi Mu asked.
"This..." Shi Mu's sharp words immediately left Jung speechless.
"The captains present here are all the heroes who took down the No. 8 and No. 10 strongholds. With these words of Junior Brother Shi, could it be that we, the disciples who fight to the death for the alliance and bravely slay demons, are useless? What we have established
Are all military exploits vain?" The lanky young man with a bright yellow complexion and black spots on his forehead glanced sideways at Shi Mu and said calmly.
This person's tone of voice was neither yin nor yang, but the words he spoke were heart-wrenching words, which immediately put Shi Mu on the opposite side of everyone in the room.
"Since we are talking about military exploits, let me talk about military exploits! In the more than ten years since I came to the Floating City Fortress, I, Shi Mu, have gone through more than a thousand battles, large and small, and killed 3,417 people from the Black Demon Clan, including Tian
There are seventy-three people in this position. Whether it is an ambush, an assassination, or a transportation spy, when has the combat team under my command not obtained the best results at the smallest cost? May I ask Elder Mo, do I, Shi Mu, have the best results?
I've failed the alliance once? Why am I considered an abandoned pawn by Elder Mo? Is it because I come from the Qinglan Holy Land, not your Lichen Sect?" Shi Mu said.
When Shi Mu said his last words, there was a burst of noise in the venue. The expressions of several saint-level elders from Qinglan Holy Land and Zhuyun Sword Sect could not help but change, and they all turned their gazes towards Mo Linyu.
"Bastard! Are there no disciples of our Lichen Sect in the team that raided Stronghold No. 9? As the elder on duty at the fortress, how could Elder Mo be unfair in his actions?" Fu Yao shouted angrily...
"Junior Brother Shi, don't say such heart-wrenching words. Elder Mo's series of actions after arriving at the fortress are obvious to all. If not, how could our alliance have achieved such a great result?" The slender, yellow-faced young man said with a sneer.
"By the way, Junior Brother Shi is speaking so righteously at this moment, but you have actually disobeyed the battle and fled the battlefield privately. Otherwise, how could you have appeared here safely with your initial cultivation level? You must know that the first law of the alliance, but
We must resolutely implement the war order and must not disobey it!" Fu Yao followed.
"In Senior Sister Fu's opinion, is it right for me to just wait for death on the spot and become an unjust ghost? The order we received at the beginning was for the saint-level elders to raid the No. 8 and No. 10 strongholds and lure away some of them.
The black demons stationed at Stronghold No. 9 were then used by us to raid and capture Stronghold No. 9. However, the reality is that not only were there no shortage of black demons in Stronghold No. 9, we were used as bait to attract No. 8 and No. 10.
The firepower at the stronghold eventually fell into a heavy siege. Shi was in a tough battle, but he was lucky enough to escape. I dare to ask Elder Mo and the elders here, is this considered disobeying orders in the face of battle and escaping privately?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and said proudly.
Mo Linyu's face was as dark as water, and the several holy realm elders on both sides were even more silent.
"Furthermore, even as abandoned sons, we successfully lured out the Black Demons from strongholds No. 8 and 10. Otherwise, how could you have captured those two strongholds so easily? My team members and
So many alliance disciples died in the battle, but instead of showing any guilt at all, you blamed me for the rest of my life. I wonder what your intentions are?" Shi Mu continued.
After listening to Shi Mu's words, most people in the room lowered their heads involuntarily. The holy elder from Qinglan Holy Land shook his head and closed his eyes, blocking out his sight and hearing.
The yellow-faced young man wanted to say something, but Mo Linyu stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, let's not talk about the merits and demerits of this time. The alliance will not sit idly by and make an explanation for the disciples who died in this battle. Shi Mu was able to escape from the black demons this time. No matter what,
It is also a blessing for the Alliance Fortress. Shi Mu, you have returned from a long journey and are probably very tired. Go down and rest first. As for your resignation, I already know about it, so there is no need to rush it." Mo Linyu said.
He waved his hand, signaling Shi Mu to leave.
Shi Mu knew that there would be no results if he continued talking, so he waved his sleeves and walked out of the main hall without even saying goodbye.
Mo Linyu stared at Shi Mu's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, but they immediately returned to normal.
…
Shi Mu strode straight out of the main hall gate. The two guarding disciples at the door saw Shi Mu's unkind look, so they were naturally too sensible to say anything.
Shi Mu paused at the door for a moment, let out a long breath, then turned over his hand to take out the flying boat, turned over, and galloped away in a certain direction.
Half an hour later, when Shi Mu walked out of a vermilion hall, his originally cold expression softened a little.
At this moment, all the merit points in his battle alliance order have been cleared, and they have all been converted into Xuanling points in the Xuanling Bi. There are actually more than 100,000 points.
Speaking of which, this was all thanks to Xiong Tu and three other people. The demon souls that these three people had no time to redeem in the future were accepted by him unceremoniously.
With these Mysterious Spirit Points, as long as you return to the Holy Land as soon as possible, you can redeem the next few layers of Nine-turn Mysterious Technique formulas in one go.
Thinking of this, Shi Mu felt better.
In the following time, he didn't even go back to the cave where he was stationed in Yingshan, and went straight to the port of the Floating Fortress.
At this moment, in the extremely open port, flags of various colors were fluttering in the wind, and more than a hundred gold and silver warships of different sizes were hovering neatly on the right side of the port.
Not far away, there were more than ten Silver Moon battleships about to take off, and there were light-escape speeders flying back and forth from time to time. It looked very lively.
In an open space somewhere in the port, groups of alliance disciples, led by their respective captains, headed towards the port one after another. They were all high-spirited and ready to go, with excitement on their brows.
Shi Mu looked at the lively scene in front of him, which was actually much better than when he first came here. Thinking about what happened before, he couldn't help but frown, and felt a trace of disgust in his heart.
He shook his head, turned around, and walked towards the left side of the port. (To be continued.)
