"You can only die in my hands." Liang Chengwu shot his arrow out and it pierced Kawashima's throat. Kawashima's face distorted, he stared at Liang Chengwu with the katana in his hand, and with a boom, he fell to the ground.

"Bring back the body of Kawashima. Hand it over to the imperial government. The entire island will be burned to ashes." After Liang Chengwu finished speaking, he looked at Little pockmarked and other demon catcher in the air. "Thank you masters for coming to save me, I am extremely grateful. I will definitely head to the Heavenly Teacher Pavilion to thank you in the future."

"General Liang, no need to be so polite. Catching demons is the responsibility of our Heavenly Jewel Master Tower. I hope General Liang does not blame us for being late." The little pock withdrew its hand sign and all the demon catcher returned to the ground.

"If not for the timely arrival of the Heavenly Jewel Master Tower to rescue us, we would all have died a violent death. We would not have been able to repay our great kindness." Liang Chengwu said as he knelt down, so did all the soldiers.

The little pock panicked and immediately helped Liang Chengwu up. "General Liang, I can't take it. My soldiers, I can't."

"Hey, pockmarked brat, you sure are impressive today. It seems that your spell learning is not bad after so many years." Pu Feier came up and patted his pockmarks.

"What? Do you regret running out now?" the pockmark asked.

"What do I regret? I just think I should learn a little, or I won't need you today. " Pu Feier grinned.

When the demon catcher heard this, they all began to laugh.

The army returned to the Penglai Ferry Pass and started to clean up the battlefield. The pockmarked man brought demon catcher back to the Heavenly Jewel Master Building.

In this war, all the pirates troops on the island were wiped out. However, the official army was also severely injured, with more than four thousand dead and five thousand heavily injured.

Seven out of twelve deputy general s under Liang Chengwu's command had died in battle, with five heavily injured. Even one of Liang Long's arms had been chopped off.

More than ten thousand people fought against thirty thousand pirates and several hundred demonic beast, and they even annihilated the old lair of the wild bandits! This was considered a huge victory, but there were many casualties among the officials and soldiers, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Liang Chengwu knelt on the ground, and cried loudly.

When they were burning the islands, Zhang Nan and Song Yang had already searched them thoroughly, but they could not find the mage mentioned by the pirates. It seemed that he had left the islands ahead of time.

Being escaped by the masterminds again made Zhang Nan and Song Yang feel extremely uneasy.

Just sweeping through the battlefield took three days, the bodies of the pirates were buried in a large pit in the bay, while the corpses of the soldiers were completely cremated and taken back into the box. Liang Chengwu then prepared to send the bodies back one by one.

"General, where are the ashes of the more than four thousand people? What about Song Yang?" Liang Long asked.

"After I report this to the imperial government, I will personally send them off. There were so many brothers who followed me out, and now that they have perished in battle, I must give an explanation to their families." Liang Chengwu looked at the densely packed urns. Even though he had won this battle, his heart had shattered.

After so many people had died, his brothers of life and death had left one after another. He had completed the mission given to him by the imperial government, but another new mission had begun. It was to deliver the ashes.

"I'll accompany you." Liang Long clenched his teeth, his eyes had long since turned moist.

On the fifth day, when Liang Chengwu's army returned to Quanzhou City, the other resistance troops had arrived. However, at that moment, there was nothing for them to do.

In fact, these troops weren't here to rescue them. Before Liang Chengwu had fought with them, they had already received news that the pirates were going to land at the Penglai Ferry.

They could have travelled for half a day, but they had delayed for four days. It was only when they heard that Liang Chengwu had already defeated the pirates and burned their headquarters into ashes that they quickly arrived.

The reason was because he was afraid that Liang Chengwu would learn from them and be punished, so he came to Liang Chengwu to plead for mercy, hoping that Liang Chengwu would not learn from him.

Towards these people, Liang Chengwu only said one sentence, I am no longer in the mood to be official, you guys better take care of yourselves.

When they returned to Quanzhou City, Liang Chengwu did not come to rest immediately. He immediately reported the news of the battle to the imperial government to comfort the disabled soldiers.

Ten days later, the imperial government sent a messenger to pacify Liang Chengwu. He was promoted to the position of Great General.

However, Liang Chengwu had already prepared to resign, he did not accept the title of official that was bestowed to him, and he split the money amongst the soldiers.

His army was led by his aide, Qin Wen.

As for the matter of the ashes, other than Liang Long, there were also over a hundred soldiers' resources participating in it.

This night, although it was a celebration feast, it was also a wine ceremony.

Liang Chengwu held a big feast in the army. He gave the first three bowls of wine to the fallen soldiers, three bowls of wine to Zhang Nan and the others, and the last three bowls of wine to all the warriors.

At the end of the day, the seven foot tall man began to cry bitterly. Only the man's tears did not fall lightly, but they did not reach his sore spot.

"What are you crying for? We didn't cry on the battlefield, so what's there to cry about? We left after being my dead brothers, just to give our families an explanation. What's there to cry about? " Liang Chengwu looked at Qin Wen, "I'm leaving, you must treat our brothers well. Everyone is risking their lives and going through thick and thin.

With tears in his eyes, Qin Wen kneeled in front of Liang Chengwu and spoke, "General, I will remember your teachings. Qin Wen and all the warriors will never forget your kindness."

Liang Chengwu nodded, supporting Qin Wen, he looked at Zhang Nan: "Since all of you are called heroes, it is because you are too unfamiliar with us, how about we call you brothers in the future? I'm older, but I'm still a big brother? "

"Don't you hate us wandering people?" Zhang Nan grinned.

"This life of mine was saved by all of you. This time, we were able to survive all because of you. It's all because of you that I think we should be able to survive." Liang Chengwu laughed.

"Brother Liang, this is the Wind Bell Talisman. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, immediately burn the talisman. No matter if it's a thousand miles or a thousand li, I will still know. I will definitely rush over at that time." Song Yang gave Liang Chengwu a piece of talisman.

"I cannot thank everyone for your kindness." Liang Chengwu looked at Zhang Nan and the others, and gulped down a few bowls of strong alcohol.

Zhang Nan and the others guarded Liang Chengwu for the entire night. Zhu Liu looked at the unconscious Liang Chengwu, "In the past, General Liang was also in high spirits. I didn't expect that this big battle would deal him such a huge blow."

Although there are many prisoners among them, they have never backed down from the battlefield. At the beginning, General Liang had promised to bring them to accomplish their duty, but now that they are dead, he naturally feels guilty and wants to withdraw from the official territory. Liang Long sighed and said.

"War is cruel. Perhaps, leaving the official area isn't a bad thing for General Liang." Zhang Nan said.
