Chapter 216 We are the champions! (1)
Ten days later, the Holy City. Holy League Conference Hall.
All sixty-one members of the ten new demon hunting groups sat quietly below according to their respective demon hunting groups.
Compared with when they left the Holy City, they have changed significantly now. Including the time on the road, a total of three months. In the past three months, their faces have become less childish and more determined and weathered.
They arrived at the Holy City last night and were called here to gather here early this morning.
The completion of the three-month trial also means the end of all the Demon Hunting Group trials. Today should be the last time they get together. Next, they will go their separate ways and start the journey of the demon hunting group.
Ten new leaders of the demon hunting group filed in from the side door of the large conference hall. After them, those who walked into the large conference hall were the leaders of the six major temples stationed in the Holy City.
Knight Temple Paladin Chief Han Qian, Assassin Temple Knight Master Ying Sui Feng, Warrior Temple Kuezhan Hall Director Wo Kuang, Priest Temple Sacrifice Hall Master Weak Shui, Magic Temple Magic Guide Lin Chen, the leader of the regiment, and Sanshui, the leader of the Spiritual Fantasy Hall of the Soul Temple.
At this time, the six deputy temple masters of the six major temples had gentle expressions on their faces and took their seats one after another. Except for Gao Yingjie, the ten team leaders, the other nine people sat in the row behind them.
Gao Yingjie stood in front of the rostrum. After all the six deputy palace masters took their seats, he stood at attention and started the meeting with a standard knight's ceremony.
Han Qian nodded to him.
Gao Yingjie said in a deep voice: "Gao Yingjie, the leader of the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group, was ordered to report. The trial tasks of the ten new demon hunting groups were successfully completed and fully recognized by the military of the Exorcist Pass. They were awarded High evaluation. Each new demon hunting group performed well and was allowed to complete the trial.”
Han Qian nodded to him and said: "You ten leaders have worked hard, please come back."
Gao Yingjie beat his chest with his right hand, completed the knight's salute again, and then proudly returned to the second row to take his seat.
Han Qian smiled slightly, looked at the sixty-one new members of the Demon Hunting Group below, and said: "I am very satisfied. You have proved your ability to the Holy Alliance with your own abilities and actions. You guys. It is the pride of the alliance and the pride of the respective temples. Compared with your achievements, I am more happy to see you all appear in front of me intact."
"The end of this trial also means that you have completed the entire process of the Demon Hunting Group selection. Your performance has been excellent. Because it is difficult to judge your military merits on the battlefield, the alliance has decided that your final results in the team competition will be The results are calculated based on the total merit of each demon hunting group. Last night, your team leader reported the merit scores of each of your demon hunting groups. Now, I will read out the final rankings from low to high."
"Senior level demon hunting group No. 8 has a total team merit of one thousand two hundred and eighty. Soldier level demon hunting group No. 9 has a total team merit of one thousand three hundred and forty six. Military level demon hunting group No. 6 Regiment, the total team merit is one thousand four hundred and fifty-one,..., the No. 5 sergeant-level demon hunting regiment, the total team merit is two thousand and forty-one, the No. 3 sergeant-level demon hunting regiment, the total team merit is two thousand. Zero sixty-two. "
When Han Qian said this, he paused. He had already read out the total meritorious service of the next seven demon hunting groups.
Before today, all the new demon hunting teams had no idea how far other teams could achieve their achievements. When Duanyi heard that the No. 3 sergeant-level demon hunting group he led was actually in fourth place and did not make it into the top three, their entire team's expressions became much uglier. Failure to enter the top three means no rewards for the team competition.
At this time, the only ones whose rankings have not been announced are the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 Demon Hunting Groups.
After Han Qian glanced at the slightly discouraged seven demon hunting groups below, he said: "The final merit scores of the top three are very close. Although there are many rewards in the team competition, they are not as good as what you can get in the future. It’s just a drop in the bucket. Continuing, the No. 2 Demon Hunting Group, with a total merit score of 2,115, will receive a reward of 300 merit points for each of them.
Upon hearing Han Qian's announcement, Yang Wenzhao's pupils shrank almost instantly, and his fists clenched subconsciously. Losing, I lost again, and this time I only got third place. He subconsciously looked at Long Haochen beside him, and secretly marveled in his heart, how could it be possible, they had not participated in the follow-up mission for about fifty days!
At this moment, the most nervous ones are the Demon Hunting Groups No. 1 and 4. As group leaders, Long Haochen and Lu Xi couldn't help but sit upright. "The second place, Demon Hunting Group No. 4, has a total merit of 2,158. Each person will receive a reward of 500 merit."
Upon hearing this announcement, Lu Xi almost slumped down on the backrest. He was even more shocked than Yang Wenzhao. Yes, when comparing the leader's abilities, he thought he was not as good as Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao. However, the No. 4 Demon Hunting Group was the most balanced among all professions. They tried their best and finally achieved such excellent results. However, they defeated No. 2 and No. 3, but ultimately lost.
Han Qian showed a smile on his face and said: "The final first place naturally belongs to the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group. It's a pity for the No. 4 Demon Hunting Group. You only lost two points of merit. That’s it. The total merit of the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group is 2,160. The reward does not include the Knight Commander. Sir." Lu Xi stood up. Although he was obviously a little excited at this time, he still saluted Han Qian first.
Han Qian smiled and said: "Lu Xi, do you have any questions?"
Lu Xi took a deep breath, managed to calm down his mood, glanced at Long Haochen not far away, and said: "Sheng Lord Knight, I do have two questions. Our demon hunting group selection competition has always been based on the principles of fairness and justice. I am not questioning the alliance's final decision, but as the leader of the fourth demon hunting group, I hope that I can lose clearly. "
"Okay, tell me your questions." Han Qian said with a smile on his face.
Lu Xi's face was a little flushed due to emotion, and he said loudly: "Master Paladin, in this trial, my partners and I have tried our best in the exorcism level. With continuous efforts, we have been able to achieve this goal in more than two months." My first question is that although the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group is excellent and even stronger than us, they have gained a total of 2,158 merit points in the past 49 years. How can Tian obtain a total merit score of 2,160 without participating in any mission? This is something I believe all the other demon hunting groups here are confused about."
He said this. When he came out, most of the demon hunting group leaders couldn't help but nodded. Only Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi did not express their opinions. Although they also lost, rather than letting the No. 4 Demon Hunting Group win the final championship, they naturally wanted to see the No. 1 Sergeant Demon Hunting Group led by Long Haochen, who is also a member of the Knights Temple, win this honor. After all, Long Haochen also won the final victory in the individual competition.
“The second question comes from Long Haochen’s retinue knight. Lord Paladin, according to the alliance’s regulations, the meritorious service of the retinue knight cannot be included in the total merit of the team. However, the merit can be calculated based on the individual’s merit. Willingness is conveyed through merit tokens. How can the alliance ensure that Long Haochen's knights do not pass on his merits to Long Haochen? The result.”
At the end of the sentence, Lu Xi became obviously a little excited. The difference between the first and second place in the total number of rewards alone is as much as 3,000 meritorious deeds! What's more, there are more important honors.
At this time, even Li Xin, who had the best relationship with Long Haochen, could never stop Lu Xi. Because what Lu Xi said was purely for the sake of the team and had no selfish motives.
After hearing what Lu Xi said, Han Qian nodded slightly and said, "Commander Lu Xi, please sit down. As you said, the Demon Hunting Group selection competition has always been based on the principles of fairness and justice. Now that there are doubts, the alliance I will definitely give you an explanation. Team leader Gao Yingjie, leader Lu Xi, please explain these two issues.”
"Yes." Gao Yingjie stood up and walked from his seat to the front row again.
He once again performed a knight's salute to the six people on the rostrum, and said solemnly: "I swear on the honor of a knight that every word I say is true."
Six The deputy palace masters nodded to him at the same time.
Gao Yingjie is a very famous figure in the Knights Temple. At that time, he was also the leader of a demon hunting group, and he was in the same group as the parents of the little girl Shi Xiaoxue who was pestering him. During one operation, they encountered an ambush from the demons. Gao Yingjie tried his best to protect his friends and break out of the siege. However, the enemy has a demon god as their commander, whose strength far exceeds theirs. In the end, Gao Yingjie burned his own life with the fire of light, and even used the sacrifice skill, plus Shi Xiaoxue's parents burned their own lives. Only then did the other three partners escape.
Gao Yingjie was bound to die, but just when the demons were about to dispose of his "body", another powerful demon hunting group got the news and arrived, finally pulling him back from the brink of death. After returning, Gao Yingjie felt deeply guilty for the death of Shi Xiaoxue's parents and was no longer willing to form a demon hunting team. It took him three years to recover from his injuries. However, his spirit of sacrificing his life for his partners was recognized by everyone. There is a good chance of becoming an Adamantine Pedestal Knight in the future.
Therefore, even the six deputy palace masters present here must respect him.
Gao Yingjie turned around, looked at Lu Xi, and said in a deep voice: "Let me explain your first question first. The reason why the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group has more than two thousand meritorious deeds is that both strength and luck are important. Dragon. Haochen once received an order from the military chief of the Exorcist Pass, Holy Spirit Heart, and went out of the city alone to participate in an important battle. With the Eye of Truth released by his mount, he avoided the danger of the entire army of the Radiant Angel Knights being wiped out. "

Wish you all a happy weekend.
