Chapter 203 Dividing the Spoils! No! This is a Reward
Ye Feng piloted his flying boat and appeared in the sky above the northeastern capital city.
The airship descended slowly.
The speed was very slow, as if it was deliberately designed to make sure everyone could see it clearly.
The people of the prefecture have been waiting for a long time.
They had been waiting since the day Ye Feng was bestowed his title in Kyoto.
I waited day after day.
Some people were getting impatient.
They initially said Ye Feng wouldn't be coming.
Some people showed despair.
It doesn't matter who comes; the Northeast Prefecture is beyond saving.
But when that spaceship actually appeared on the horizon...
All sound disappeared.
The soldiers on the city wall were the first to see it.
The young soldier rubbed his eyes excitedly.
He was sure he wasn't seeing things.
Then he suddenly turned around.
He roared at everyone on and off the city wall.
"They're here! The airship is here!"
"They're here! Grand Commander Ye is here!"
The Northeast Prefecture instantly erupted in excitement.
Countless people flocked to the city square.
They all craned their necks to look up at the sky.
All I saw was...
The silver-white flying boat is slowly descending.
The boat shimmered with a silvery-white light in the sunlight.
Four large characters are engraved on the flying boat.
"Grand Governor of Four Provinces".
Prefect Zhang Zhenshan stood on the city wall, his hands resting on it.
His fingers were trembling slightly.
They were incredibly excited.
Zhang Zhenhai and Zhang Zhenyue remained silent.
But their eyes were red.
People from other parts of the prefectural city also poured out.
On the streets, in the alleys, on the rooftops.
It was full of people.
They were refugees who fled from various acropolises.
They want to return to their homeland.
The man who could bring them hope has arrived.
The airship landed in the city square.
The hatch opened.
Ye Feng came out.
His steps were steady, neither hurried nor slow.
Every step was decisive and impactful.
Black combat uniform.
A long sword, the Soul-Slaying Blade, was strapped to his waist.
Behind him were Cao Keyuan, Director Zhou, Old Zhang, Dong Sheng, Old Zhao, and Zhang Lizhuo.
Six martial gods.
The six martial gods stepped off the flying boat at the same time.
Every breath pressed down on the square as if it were a tangible substance.
Countless people around them involuntarily retreated.
"Six Martial Gods!"
"Ye Feng really came to save Northeast China!"
"He brought all his assets from Jiangcheng with him!"
The reporters and influential bloggers had already set up their cameras and microphones.
More than a dozen cameras simultaneously focused on Ye Feng.
He recorded every step he took and every expression clearly.
The live stream's popularity is soaring.
Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions.
The comments section was flooded with messages.
All the voices were unanimously praising.
"Ye Feng is here."
"The Northeast Prefecture is saved."
"Go Ye Feng!"
"Six Martial Gods! Ye Feng is awesome!"
Ye Feng walked to the center of the square.
His gaze swept across the dense crowd.
then.
The sound came out.
"Brothers in the Northeast, you've worked hard."
"You are heroes!"
"I know you've had a tough time these past few years. The vampires have been entrenched at your doorstep for ten years."
"These past ten years! The vampires have taken away your homes, the lives of your loved ones, and even your dignity as human beings."
"You have held out here for ten years, shedding countless drops of blood and losing countless lives. You are heroes, every single one of you is a hero."
Someone in the crowd cried.
A man with a full beard.
He squatted on the ground, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders shrugging.
He remained silent.
However, his tears flowed through his fingers.
Tick-tock!!
Tick-tock!!
fall to the ground.
He escaped from the Acropolis.
His wife and children were killed by vampires.
Ye Feng recounted the heroic deeds of the Northeast Prefecture over the years.
"Among you is a veteran named Zhao Tiezhu."
"He was just an ordinary soldier in the garrison of the Northeast Prefecture."
"Yet this ordinary soldier, in the first battle to defend the acropolis."
"His company was responsible for defending the east gate. The vampires attacked for three days and three nights but couldn't take it down."
"His comrades fell one by one, until he was the only one left in the entire company."
"He didn't run away; he held the east gate by himself for a whole day until reinforcements arrived."
"He was stabbed seventeen times, his left arm was severed, and his right leg was pierced. He was still shouting 'Kill' as he was carried off the battlefield."
The audience fell silent.
No one spoke.
Everyone is listening.
"There was also a sergeant major named Li Dashan. He was a squad leader of the Night Watch in the Northeast Prefecture, and he was surrounded by vampires during a reconnaissance mission."
"He told his teammates to retreat first, while he covered the rear."
"He single-handedly held off more than a dozen vampire soldiers. His teammates evacuated safely, but he never returned."
"Three days later, we found his body on the battlefield. He was leaning against a tree, still holding a knife in his hand, the knife stained with vampire blood."
Some people in the audience cried.
"There was another mother named Wang Xiuying."
"Her son was serving in the Night's Watch in the Northeast and died during a vampire siege."
"She didn't cry, she wasn't sad, she just found the commander of the unit and said one sentence."
"Is my son brave?"
Ye Feng took a deep breath.
The voice suddenly rose a few decibels.
"The people of the Northeast Prefecture are not cowards. The soldiers of the Northeast Prefecture are not cowards. You have shed so much blood on this land."
"The Great Xia has not forgotten you. I have come today to reward the three armies."
He stepped down from the podium.
Vivian followed behind him, carrying a silver-white metal box in her hands.
Ye Feng opened the box, inside which were neatly stacked piles of checks.
"The first thing is that Great Xia owes you three years' worth of pension payments, and I will make up for it all today. Not a penny less, not a single cent less."
The square was quiet for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers.
Someone is crying.
Someone is laughing.
Some people were hugging the person next to them, crying and laughing at the same time.
Those families who have lost loved ones.
Those families who haven't received pensions for many years.
They had been waiting for this day for three years.
"The second thing is that I secured 60 billion in military funding for you. I brought it all with me today."
"Each active-duty soldier in Shanhe Prefecture will receive a special bonus of 300,000."
"In addition to the pension, the fallen soldiers will receive an additional subsidy of 300,000."
Some people in the audience started doing the math.
There are 50,000 troops stationed in the prefectural city.
There are still 10,000 in all the citadels, making a total of 60,000.
If each person receives 300,000, that's 18 billion.
Additional compensation for fallen sergeants.
It will probably cost more than 20 billion.
Six hundred billion.
That's more than half gone.
Someone couldn't help but ask a question.
"Grand Commander Ye, most of the money has been distributed. What are we going to do next?"
Ye Feng glanced at that person.
"The future? We'll talk about the future later."
"As long as you remember that I am here in the Northeast Prefecture, you will never go hungry again."
"The third thing is that I, Ye Feng, will personally fund the establishment of war bonuses."
"What?"
The people in the audience were completely dumbfounded.
What does this mean?
