“Whooo! Whooo!”
The battlefield outside Twin Peaks City, littered with carnage, echoed with a somber horn that reverberated through the void.
While the retreat of the beast army brought joy and excitement to everyone, once the massive silhouettes of the beasts faded into the horizon, a stark reality set in for the countless cultivators of Twin Peaks City.@@novelbin@@
They now had to face their own losses and the gruesome scene of the devastated battlefield.
Under strict discipline, the cultivators, though momentarily numb, began the arduous task of cleaning up the battlefield, dragging their exhausted bodies into action.
The corpses of the fallen beasts were meticulously dismembered and converted into resources, transported to the rear lines.
The remains of the fallen cultivators, however, were preserved with care, sent back for a proper burial. Friends and family of the deceased escorted the remains, their faces etched with sorrow, ensuring they were honored until their final resting place.
The battlefield, larger than several plains combined, required immense effort to clear, even with the aid of celestial powers.
However, the victory had boosted morale, and everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion. In the most harrowing section of the battlefield, the City Lord and Jiang Chengxuan were also engaged in similar tasks.
Although the three beast leaders were not slain, their battles had left valuable materials scattered. Fragments of the Yuanjing Xilong’s shattered crystal scales and its blood were immensely precious.
The Black Wolf Bird King’s feathers, blood, and fur were also treasures not to be wasted. Silently, Jiang Chengxuan roamed the battlefield, collecting these materials while simultaneously recovering his strength.
Moreover, the shattered void and the damaged spaces needed to be actively repaired. Many of these voids were created by Jiang Chengxuan himself during the battle. Eventually, after much time, the aftermath of the battle was finally settled.
Soon, a celebration for the victory over the enemy commenced in the camp of the Eighth War Zone of Twin Peaks City.
“Everyone! We have repelled another wave of beasts and achieved a great victory! Each one of you deserves credit!”
“Tonight, let us drink freely!”
Under the City Lord’s hearty declaration, everyone beamed with joy, congratulating each other as the banquet commenced. Even Jiang Chengxuan joined in.
The celestial wine they drank was not only for celebration but also had healing properties, aiding their recovery after the fierce battle. Despite sustaining some injuries from battling two beast leaders, Jiang Chengxuan felt a sense of comfort as the celestial wine flowed down his throat.
“Daoist Jiang, I toast to you! Your performance on the battlefield was truly unmatched!”
“I too toast to Daoist Jiang! Your divine might was evident to all of us!”
One after another, the other generals approached Jiang Chengxuan, raising their cups in admiration. Since the battle a few days ago, Jiang Chengxuan’s reputation had spread throughout Twin Peaks City, earning him significant acclaim.
“Haha! I am humbled!” Jiang Chengxuan responded with a helpless smile, drinking each toast, which elicited hearty cheers from everyone. Clearly, their respect for Jiang Chengxuan was genuine.
Even the City Lord couldn’t help but join the fun, raising his cup to Jiang Chengxuan and saying, “Young friend Jiang, you are truly extraordinary! This victory is greatly due to your efforts. I toast to you!”
Jiang Chengxuan, even more helpless now, shook his head and replied, “City Lord, your supreme power suppressed the beast general. I merely added a little help; your praise is too much!”
Everyone laughed heartily at this. Jiang Chengxuan’s modesty paired with his formidable strength earned the veteran warriors’ deep respect.
However, the celebration was short-lived. Before everyone could fully indulge, it ended abruptly.
The city was still at war, and any delay due to over-celebration could be catastrophic.
Thus, the banquet concluded hastily. All the generals switched from joyous to serious, ready to resume their duties.
As cultivators, the celestial wine couldn’t truly inebriate them. Once again, the elderly figure in the green robe appeared, updating everyone on the current situation of Twin Peaks City.
“Since Daoist Jiang’s plan was implemented, all war zones have seen significant improvements.”
“Using counter-strategies, previously challenging zones have now stabilized.”
“The third and sixth war zones received timely support, with no unexpected incidents.”
As detailed information about the battlefield was conveyed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their gazes turned to Jiang Chengxuan, filled with undisguised admiration.
There was no denying that the precarious situation of Twin Peaks City had reversed solely due to Jiang Chengxuan’s contributions—his strategic planning and formidable strength at precisely the right moments.
