Chapter 465: Outstanding results

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Canyang said.

It was obvious...

Neither Canyang nor Fang Zhengzhi was dead. Ordinarily, the two of them should continue fighting!

What was happening?

One went to try on armor from a corpse whilst the other is talking about exchanging hostages?

All of the soldiers looked at each other and saw nothing but confusion in each other's eyes.

The only explanation they could come up with was...

The two of them must be crazy...

How else could you explain what was happening?

No one could understand.

Countless eyes stared at Canyang.

They could only wait for the answer to be revealed.

Perhaps the answer would lie in Canyang's next move or Chi Guyan's answer.

Chi Guyan's hair and pink dress danced in the wind.

”Okay.” Chi Guyan nodded without hesitation. She proposed no terms of her own, almost as if she had already expected this.

”Mm.” Canyang nodded.

There were no unnecessary words or emotions. Chi Guyan looked as calm as ever.

All of the soldiers couldn't believe their eyes.

”What is happening?”

”It's done?!”

”That's all?”

Every soldier on the battlefield, regardless of demon or human, were utterly confused.

This was unbelievable!

If things were that simple, what was the point of the battle just now? Countless humans and demons had died for nothing!

They couldn't understand it...

Until...

They heard a ruckus behind them.

It was definitely from some distance away. It came from the direction of the Iron Hill Settlement, and the noises were approaching quickly.

However, when the soldiers heard the noises, their expressions changed.

The demons tensed up.

The soldiers of the joint forces heaved a sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.

One could see joy and relief in their eyes. Victory was assured.

After an entire day of grueling battle...

The reinforcements had arrived.

Even though this was only the vanguard, the arrival of these soldiers meant that the battle was over.

At this point...

Everyone finally understood why Canyang would propose the idea of exchanging hostages to Chi Guyan.

They also understood why the exchange went so smoothly.

Because...

The battle was meaningless at this point.

The result was clear.

Any battle now would result in heavy losses on all sides. This was something that no one wanted to partake in.

In a battle to the death between two powerhouses...

There will be one who will emerge victorious.

However, if one was not significantly stronger than the other, then any victory would be pyrrhic and would not last very long.

In fact...

It was rare for armies to fight battles that they knew would result in pyrrhic victories.

One of the rare examples was the battle outside the Great Xia's capital.

It was a brutal battle.

A battle which neither the demons nor the humans wanted to think about. They didn't want history to repeat itself.

”Master, you...” Yun Qingwu could hear the noises from afar, but she chose to ignore them. She didn't give the withdrawal order either.

She looked at Canyang. There were no tears in her eyes, but she was slightly worried.

Canyang didn't advice Yun Qingwu to give the order for withdrawal either. He extended his hand and ruffled Yun Qingwu's hair.

The demons stayed in their positions.

The soldiers of the joint forces gripped their weapons in anticipation.

This was the final defence.

They could not let down their guard until the reinforcements arrived.

The tension in the air was thick...

Shan Ling was extremely nervous. He could hear the reinforcements coming, but he didn't know if they were Southern Region soldiers or Great Xia soldiers!

There was only one person who didn't seem nervous.

That person was Fang Zhengzhi.

After donning his armor, Fang Zhengzhi tidied his hair, wiggled his hips, then walked over to Ping Yang.

”Let's go.” Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched.

”Go? Where?” Ping Yang asked doubtfully.

”Rubbish! I've had a long night of fighting! I'm famished, aren't you?” Fang Zhengzhi chided.

Ping Yang stared blankly at Fang Zhengzhi. She knew that this fella had just eaten.

”You... you're not full?” Ping Yang asked doubtfully.
