"What worries me most now is whether the column will use the excuse of losing our headquarters to deprive us of the meritorious rewards we deserve in this defensive battle." Pan Xian changed his tone and said with a frown.

Tangning answered, "It's unlikely! Aren't the rebels repulsed? Although the formation has been breached, the Wind Hidden Valley is still in our hands, so why would we treat it as a defeat? It would be too condescending to do this.

It’s chilling.”

"Who says otherwise? It stands to reason that since our headquarters has suffered such heavy casualties, we should be given major awards. But if you don't fear ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. After all, the right to speak is in the hands of others, not us.

"Didn't the column give an order before? If the headquarters loses the Fengqiangu position, all merit rewards previously obtained will be cancelled. Now, although Fengqiangu is still in our hands, we relied on the support of the main camp to defend it.

"

Tangning frowned and said, "What's the difference? As long as we hold on to our position and don't let the rebels besieging this formation to support other rebels, wouldn't it be enough?"

Pan Xian sighed slightly: "The difference is not big, but it can give people evidence. In any case, we did not hold the big formation in the end. We cannot rule out the possibility that the higher-ups are killing chickens to scare the monkeys in order to seriously improve the discipline of the coalition forces."

After hearing what he said, Tangning was a little skeptical: "It shouldn't be the case! Did Fellow Daoist Pan get some news?"

Pan Xian glanced at him: "Fellow Taoist Tang also finds it unacceptable, right?"

"That's of course. In order to defend the Wind Hidden Valley and delay the siege of the rebels, we worked hard. Now that the casualties are so heavy, the column wants to cancel the meritorious rewards we deserve. No one can agree to it.

"

Pan Xiandao: "Everyone thinks so. To put it bluntly, the reason why the camp was able to free up its hands to support our troops is because half of our regiment delayed one of the rebel regiments.

If we can have a united force, it will definitely not be a problem to defend the Wind Hidden Valley."

"To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Tang, several of our brigades have met privately to discuss this matter before. If the column uses our failure to hold this formation as an excuse to cancel the meritorious rewards we deserve, we will go to the coalition headquarters together.

Appeal, what do you think?"

"I fully support it. If you need me to do anything, just ask me." Tangning responded immediately. His achievements this time were among the best in the alliance. Now that there are people who are willing to make trouble and put pressure on the superiors, there is no reason to refuse: "That's right.

, what is Senior Jiang’s attitude towards this matter?”

"After we had a private discussion, we visited him together and talked to him. After listening, he neither agreed nor refused. He was silent for a while and then dropped the topic."

This was already the default attitude. As the top commander of this team, Jiang Huan had his concerns and it would be inconvenient for him to come forward on such a matter. Everyone explained the matter to him, and if he did not object, it was already in agreement.

"I understand, Captain Pan. If there's nothing else, I won't disturb you. I'll go back to my team first."

"good."

Tangning left the stone room and returned to the second team. She met with the two surviving team members and exchanged a few words before building a wooden house here to rest.

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Around noon that day, there was a knock on the door outside the wooden house.

He opened his eyes after entering trance, stood up and opened the room, only to see a white-faced man standing outside: "Senior Tang, this junior is ordered to inform all personnel in your department to assemble immediately and go to the alliance meeting hall."

"I don't know why?"

"Junior is just following orders. I don't know what's going on. I still want to inform others, so I'll take my leave first." After that, the man said and left.

Tang Ning summoned the other monks in the team and went to the alliance meeting hall. At that time, many teams had gathered in front of the hall. As time went by, groups of monks came one after another with their laser beams coming.

About a quarter of an hour later, a Xuanling boat was seen approaching and stopped above the crowd. A group of people filed out of it. The leader was the team inspector Jiang Huan, followed by the commanders of the various brigade.

Chen Ying was not among them because he was seriously injured and had been moved to the rear a few days ago.

"The coalition forces issued an order today, ordering the headquarters to retreat to Yuanxian County for a short break, and everyone will board the ship and set off." Jiang Huanlang said in a loud voice, and with a wave of his hand, everyone boarded the warship.

The Xuanling Ship glowed brightly and headed south. After arriving at Xuanyingting City, it rested for a day and then took the Fengling Ship and set off again.

The Fengling Ship carried the six regiments guarded by Xuanying Pavilion. Thousands of people gathered on the same ship and traveled for dozens of days to reach Yuanxian County and settled down here.

…

Qianxuan Mountain is located in the northwest of Yuanxian County, covering an area of ​​more than a thousand miles. The headquarters of the First Legion of the Donglai County Allied Forces and its directly affiliated columns are stationed here. Everyone settled here after returning to Yuanxian County.

A few days later, in the middle of the night, a man came to his residence and said: "Senior Tang, I have been ordered by Senior Pan to ask you to come to the meeting hall to have a talk."

"Okay." Tangning nodded, probably guessing why Pan Xian invited her to the meeting hall so late.

It stands to reason that it is already so late, and unless it is a major matter of emergency mobilization, a temporary meeting will be held. However, everyone has just experienced a frontline battle, and it has not been a month since they arrived in Yuanxian City. The personnel have not even been replenished, so there is no possibility of emergency mobilization.

major tasks.

So there is only one possibility, it must be an important private matter.

Recently, there has been a lot of rumors going around in the regiment, saying that the legion is deciding whether to cancel the merit awards for those members of the team who have not completed the set strategic goals. There are all kinds of gossips and rumors.

At this time, Pan Xian suddenly summoned him to discuss matters late at night. He must have received definite news about this matter.

"Junior has to inform others, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, the man turned into light and left.

Not long after Tang Ning left, she arrived at the brigade meeting hall. There were already several men waiting inside, all of them were brigade stewards and captains of the squads below.

He nodded with a few others, and then saluted Pan Xianji, who was at the head of the chair: "Captain Pan, I don't know what to call you urgently late at night, but what are your orders?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang is here, please take a seat. Fellow Taoist friends Zhou Wen and Xu Zilin are not here yet. Let's wait for them." Pan Xian replied.

Tang Ning took her seat as instructed, and soon, two people came in one after another.

"Okay, everyone is here. I shouldn't bother you all at this late hour, but I have something that worries me and I don't want to express it unhappy, so I have to take the liberty to invite you over. I hope you won't take it off."

As soon as Pan Xian finished speaking, Lin Quan, the steward, answered: "Fellow Daoist Pan, there is no need to say any more polite words. We are all brothers who have experienced life and death together. No one will be offended by such a trivial matter. Just say it directly."

Come on! Is it because of the merit awards for the members of the unit? Is there any news? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Pan Xian and saw him nodding and saying: "Yes, it is indeed for this matter. I got the exact news. Previously, the column passed a resolution to compile the list and rewards of those who performed meritorious service on the Xuanying Pavilion front line.

We arrived at the legion, but the list of meritorious service only included Xuanyingting City and the two garrison troops of the two battalions, as well as the personnel of the Ninth Regiment stationed at "Xuanyu Mountain", and we were not included."

"Is this news reliable?" Lin Quan frowned.

"Absolutely reliable, otherwise I wouldn't bother you fellow Taoists so late."

Steward Bao Xin took the case and said angrily: "This is unreasonable. Why should the column cancel the meritorious rewards we deserve? We have so many casualties? Just because we did not hold Fengqian Valley within the prescribed time, then the rebels we killed are not considered traitors.

Are you in the army?"

"Yes, we are also resisting the rebels. Why should we only declare their rewards? This is unfair."

"Although Xuanyingting City is besieged by four regiments of rebels, they already have the strength of two regiments, and there are also a steady stream of high-level monks from each column coming through the teleportation array, and Huang Yueshan Camp and

Tianyi Mountain each has a complete regiment of troops. Facing the attack of a regiment of rebels, relying on the large formation, of course we can defend it. If we also have a regiment of troops, we will naturally be able to defend it."

"What Huang Daoyou said is true. We only have half a regiment of troops and are already trying our best to defend Fengqian Valley. Besides, we are not completely defeated. The rebels also suffered a lot of casualties. Why should we cancel our meritorious service rewards?"

"This matter is not over yet. I want to complain to the coalition forces. If the superiors really do this, don't think about me contributing to the coalition forces in the future."

"One person is responsible for the fault, and two people are responsible for the fault. Let's go and appeal to the alliance together."

Everyone expressed their attitude one after another, and Tang Ning also expressed her position as unacceptable.

Xuanyingting has a total of seven garrisons. In addition to the two large camps in Xuanyingting City, Huangyue Mountain and Tianyi Mountain, there are also four small camps. These four small camps only have half a regiment of troops, and all of them were attacked by rebels.

A whole regiment laid siege.

Except for the Ninth Regiment stationed in "Xuanyu Mountain", which held its position due to the timely support of the "Tianyi Mountain Camp", the other three locations were defeated by the rebels and fled in defeat.

This time the column only applied for merit rewards for the four defenders at Xuanying Pavilion, Huangyue Mountain, Tianyi Mountain, and Xuanyu Mountain. How could the monks stationed at the other three places be willing to do so.

"Fellow Daoist Pan, didn't the alliance react at all to this matter? What's Senior Jiang's attitude? Are you prepared to accept this fact by default?" Lin Quan asked.

Pan Xian waved his hand: "Everyone, please be patient for a moment. Although I am sure this news is reliable, it is just a rumor at the moment. After all, the coalition forces have not announced meritorious service personnel. Senior Jiang must be dissatisfied with this result, but before it was made public, he

It's understandable that I don't feel comfortable expressing my position. I called together all the fellow Taoists today just to discuss a countermeasure with them."

"Fellow Daoist Pan, if you have any plans, just tell me! As long as it is beneficial to everyone, we will obey your orders."

"Yes! Fellow Daoist Pan, if we can make the column pay back the meritorious rewards we deserve, we can do whatever we want."

Pan Xiandao: "Since everyone is not satisfied with the result, we can work together and we can do something. We have contacted not only the brothers of our regiment, but also the other two regiments. In two days, we will set off to the army to discuss matters.

We protested in front of the palace and asked the coalition forces to issue the meritorious rewards our personnel deserved. What do you fellow Taoists think?"

"Okay, according to what Fellow Daoist Pan said, in three days, we will go to the Legion Assembly Hall to appeal."

"I agree."

"agree."

Everyone nodded in response.

"With more people, we are more powerful. We must build up our momentum. When all fellow Taoists return, they will summon brothers from all teams and set out with us in three days. We will let the legion know that we are united and united. We are very dissatisfied with this result and put more pressure on them."

, it is possible to win meritorious rewards.”
