"Lord Liu."
Bai Yuan walked forward.
"Lord Bai."
Liu Zhengwen smiled cheerfully and returned the greeting. The demon eradication mission had gone exceptionally smoothly, which put him in an excellent mood.
This was an excellent bargaining chip for his future bid to become the Vice Director of the Astronomical Bureau.
In Xuan Yang, besides background and strength, meritorious achievements were also crucial for promotion. Only with merits to one's name could an official secure their position.
Just then, the other three columns of the army began to converge on their position.
Liu Zhengwen looked out at the crowd gathered around the lake and announced in a booming voice.
"The demonic scourge has been purged! This is a monumental achievement! I will personally petition His Majesty to reward all of you for your service!"
"Hail!"
"Hail!"
...
The sounds of celebration resounded throughout the mountain forest.
