Chapter 1319: 1319
The new year's eve of the 905th year of Black Iron Calendar arrived too early . After returning to Blackwater Base for 3 days, the last day of the 904th year of Black Iron Calendar had slid away unconsciously . . .
After heavy snow overnight, many provinces in Peacewest Military Region had been covered with snow . The east side and the west side of Helan Mountain Range were both covered in heavy snow . Even the flowing Weishui River had been frozen with thick ice .
Due to the dull weather, people couldn't see the Faerie-Dragon Star that rose from the east . However, the loud drumbeats that drifted from Xuanyuan Fortress last night cheered these Hua knights up and reminded them of the arrival of a new year .
Besides knights who executed routine inspection and performed tasks, all the knights in Xuanyuan Fortress and the other bases welcomed a rare 2-day leave since they entered the Western Theater of Operations .
Both scholars and fighters should be relaxed . During this period when demons slowed down their attack, knights in Taixia Country also welcomed their first new year in the theater of operations . All the knights finally had a chance to relax themselves .
Because they were forbidden to leave Xuanyuan Fortress and the other bases too far away, all the bars and likewise places across Xuanyuan Fortress were filled to capacity at once .
. . .
"Weiji General? Commander-in-Chief appointed you as Weiji General?"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Feng Cangwu stopped drinking immediately as he tilted his head and watched Zhang Tie with widely opened eyes who was looking at the scenery outside the crystal French window in an interesting way .
Feng Cangwu and Zhang Tie were in the Brilliance Tower inside Xuanyuan Fortress . This tower was the most boisterous place in Xuanyuan Fortress . Like that brilliance tower in Lion Fortress, this brilliance tower also had a lot of functional areas . Knights inside this theater of operations could exchange for element crystals with their booties here . The 81-storey tower was also matched with the largest knights' bar and dining hall across Xuanyuan Fortress, where knights could consume and relax themselves . Of course, as for many people, the most attractive place in the entire Brilliance Tower were two huge military exploits rankings in the lobby of the Brilliance Tower .
The military exploits of top 1,000 knights could be manifested on the rankings . The entire rankings were divided into rankings for black iron knights' military exploits; rankings for earth knights' military exploits and rankings for shadow knights' military exploits . The 3 rankings could cover over 99% of fighters joining the battle in the Western Theater of Operations . Their military exploits would be confirmed as long as they were confirmed and counted .
As for heavenly knights' military exploits, it was hard to manifest them on the rankings simply . In fact, as long as a heavenly knight was in the base or the fortress, he would shock demons greatly . Additionally, as heavenly knights had supreme positions, every movement of them might be related to the confidential affairs . It was evidently irreverent to rank heavenly knights here . Additionally, confidential affairs might be leaked by ranking heavenly knights' military exploits . Therefore, there were no rankings of heavenly knights' military exploits in all the Brilliance Towers .
The accumulated points of military exploits indicated one's battle strength and honor . Besides, they could also exchange for anything they wanted with these accumulated points inside Xuanyuan Fortress such as element crystals, wealth, land even various advanced cultivation methods and battle skills collected by the royal households of Taixia Country which were very practical and enticing .
The highest cultivation method which could be exchanged by these accumulated points were duke-level classics . Of course, those knights couldn't cultivate another cultivation method . However, if possible, that knight could designate one of his posterities or disciples to accept the enlightenment of the duke-level cultivation method . So many knights and major clans exerted their full efforts to fight demons for this reward .
Additionally, such rankings were almost a rehearsal on the Heavens Fortune Rankings later on, through which people who ranked top would be conferred with dukedom . As long as they left their names on the rankings, most of them on the rankings might become noblemen and benefit their offsprings; even be conferred as dukes . All the people on the rankings would be the pillars of Taixia Country in the future .
The square of the Brilliance Tower was always crowded with knights who were here to observe the rankings . Of course, the figures on the rankings became the focus of the public too .
In each holy war, Taixia Country would set the military exploits rankings in the theater of operations . Such a method was simple, direct and effective . Even the figures among the top 7 sects would like to compete in front of the rankings . No matter what they were pursuing for, fame, benefits, face or vanity, they could always find a reason to pay attention to this military exploits rankings .
Watching those knights commenting the figures on the rankings, Zhang Tie finally knew that the copycat military exploits that he saw in crystal fortress originated from here . . .
Zhang Tie might be interested in such rankings before; however, he didn't have any interest in it now . Even though his name also appeared on the rankings about military exploits of earth knights, Zhang Tie still didn't feel thrilled about it .
Zhang Tie's name appeared on the rankings 2 days ago . Xu Baoan the Cheji General of Wuzhou Province reported Zhang Tie's military exploits of killing 2 earth knights and 2 black iron knights to Xuanyuan Fortress . Besides Xu Baoan, there were other witnesses at present when Zhang Tie killed those demon knights . Therefore, after Xuanyuan Fortress approved it, Zhang Tie's name and his military exploits appeared on the rankings .
Additionally, if Zhang Tie could present other demon knights' heads, his rank would be higher on the rankings . However, Zhang Tie didn't feel like doing that at all .
In different realms, people would have different thoughts and demands . Someone might feel pleased with the rankings; however, Zhang Tie didn't think such rankings was meaningful to him . He didn't even want to catch people's attention .
However, after his name and military exploits appeared on the rankings, Taiyi Fantasy Sect's face was slapped forcefully in an indirect way too . Feng Yexiao couldn't even find a reason to find Zhang Tie trouble for Wen Qingkong anymore .
. . .
After hearing Feng Cangwu's words, Zhang Tie moved his eyes onto Feng Cangwu as he asked with a smile, "Are you surprised?"
"Of course surprised . If you leave the theater of operations, even though this position looks supreme, you've lost the chance to make more military exploits in the theater of operations . What will you use to compete with others if knights are requested to drop their blood on the tester to manifest their military exploits on Heavens Fortune Rankings for dukedom in the future? You should know that the only condition for conferring people with dukedom is the number of demons they kill . It doesn't work no matter how well you serve as Weiji General . Even if Taixia Country win this holy war by driving demons back to the underground world, whose name do you think will be remembered by people, Zuoqiu Mingyue or your name as Weiji General? Don't tell me that you don't want to be conferred with a dukedom or strive for a noble dukedom for your sons . . . " Feng Cangwu said while frowning .
