Ember Skywalker

Chapter 74 There is no winner!
Snort! Snort!
But Raven's snoring had already begun.

He was so tired that he fell asleep.

"What a pig!"

Monica was furious, but her eyes were fixed on him, with a hint of something strange in them.

She moved her body and fell asleep next to Raven.

The blood mist that enveloped Dawn City gradually dissipated, and the fires in the city were gradually extinguished.

This miraculous city is now in ruins, with broken walls and collapsed buildings everywhere, and corpses and body parts everywhere.

But no matter what, it still stands on the land of Poincare.

The aliens went away like a tide, and a desolate horn sound came from the sky, full of sadness and unwillingness.

After this war, they didn't know how many years it would take to repair the trauma.

Dawn City, headquarters.

Raven finally saw Prince Salon up close.

This outrageously handsome prince had a sharp aura but was not ostentatious. His face was a combination of heroism and gentleness that could make any woman dizzy.

Raven glanced at Monica beside her secretly.

At this moment, she stared at Salon so hard that tears almost filled her eyes.

He poked her quietly.

"What are you doing!" the girl whispered angrily.

"Your eyes are killing me, please be polite."

"It's up to you to take care of it. It's useless to give you the opportunity."

"Uh...what chance do you give me?"

"Go away, don't disturb me from looking at the handsome guy."

Raven: ...

"Cough cough..."

Salon cleared his throat and bowed deeply.

"Thank you all for your help, Dawn City was saved. I am very grateful."

He was still feeling frightened.

If everyone hadn't arrived at that time, Preston's plan might have succeeded.

By then, tens of thousands of soldiers in the city will be defeated and millions of residents will be slaughtered. Dante will suffer the biggest setback in a hundred years, and even the foundation of the country will be shaken.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. As Dante people, we have no choice but to fulfill our responsibility."

"I didn't expect their power to increase so much." Saron said worriedly.

“Yes, the Poincare people nowadays are almost unrecognizable to me.

After this mission, I must report the situation here to the teacher."

"Thank you, Master. But you have alerted the alien race. They will be closely monitoring this place, which may be detrimental to the subsequent missions."

"Yes, but this mission must be completed no matter what. Your Highness, please arrange for someone to cooperate with me as soon as possible."

"Do not worry."

After everyone exchanged greetings for a while, Salon left in a hurry as he had to deal with the aftermath.

Dawn City began to get busy.

The first thing to do was to repair the city wall, which was a huge gap of fifty meters in length, and the workload was extremely huge.

The next step is to deal with the corpse.

The battle lasted from early morning to dusk, and both sides used all means from heaven to earth, resulting in countless deaths.

There were more than 100,000 corpses that could be found, and most of them were relatively intact.

As for the broken limbs, they could not be counted and could only be piled up.

Even the veteran soldiers who had been on many battlefields couldn't help vomiting when they saw these corpses.

The last step is to count the casualties.

Everyone deliberately avoided this matter, but what was coming would still come.

For the first time, Raven felt how heavy numbers could be.

When Ji Lilange announced the final statistics, the entire conference room fell silent for a full quarter of an hour.

How to say it! What to say!

For the first time, Salon's face turned pale.

Thirty-seven thousand people!
Bloody numbers!
You know, these are not ordinary soldiers, but the most elite Dante War Cavalry!
Among them are seven marquises, more than forty earls and hundreds of viscounts.

There are only 100,000 soldiers in the entire Dawn City, and now more than 30% of them have been lost!

This means that three people out of every ten people in a team will fall forever.

The death in the First World War was so tragic!

Because there were so many bodies, mass landfilling might cause a large-scale epidemic outbreak, so Salon decided to cremate them.

This means that they won't be able to leave even the last trace.

The living silently built platforms and placed the bodies of their comrades neatly on them.

When the mountain of corpses was finally settled, many people couldn't help crying.

The bleak wind blew, as if the whole world was in sorrow. Saleh dragged his seriously injured body and recited a farewell eulogy:

“Once upon a time, you were a good father, a good son, and a good husband.

Now you leave your wives and children,
You have crossed mountains and seas,

You are under the bright starry sky,
Fight in a vast alien world.

To create glory with blood and courage!

My partner!
You once sat alone under the moon, thinking of your family.
You once rode a horse and held a spear, and you were the bravest among the three armies.
Your pride and courage, your smile and joy,
Will always be remembered in my heart until the day we meet again.
It may be a long time, or it may be a short time.

Wait for me, mate.

Farewell, comrades! "

The flames shot up into the sky, blazing and brilliant.

But Raven felt that the whole world was gray and dark, so oppressive that he couldn't breathe.

He, who never drank, got drunk at night. Only strong liquor could numb his soul.

That night, there were cries everywhere.

The next day at noon, when the sun was already high in the sky, Riven woke up with a dry mouth and a splitting headache.

He licked his lips and looked around, and what caught his eye was a beautiful face with traces of tears still on it.

It was Monica, still sleeping soundly.

Raven frowned, remembering that Monica seemed to have drunk a lot last night.

He quickly looked at his clothes.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's perfect!"

Heaving a sigh of relief, he quietly left, and after a while came back with a pot of water and placed it next to Monica.

After doing this, he walked out of the room, came to the top of the city, and looked into the distance.

This world is desolate, as desolate as a dream.

At some point, Monica came to him.

"What are you thinking?"

"I wonder if we will never be able to coexist with those alien races."

Monica was silent for a moment, then said seriously:
“Raven, you are a person of temperament, or a kind person.

But I hope your kindness has an edge.

This is where?

It's Poincare.

In this damn place, countless people die at the hands of the natives every day.

If you pity them, will they pity you?
So take away your pity, until you are truly strong, you are not worthy of it. "

"I know." Raven sighed, "I just think that both sides shouldn't waste their time like this."

“You are wrong, we and they both have faith and will never bow to each other.

Therefore, the only outcome for both parties is that one party disappears completely.”

Raven was silent after hearing this.

Monica hesitated for a moment and whispered, "You didn't do anything to me last night, did you?"

"I was drunk and can't remember."

"Bah, I don't think you would dare."

“I’m very courageous, but I also have a high aesthetic.”

"You want to die!"

Raven: "Hey, why are you pinching me? I didn't say anything about you, you just took it for granted!"

Half a day later, in a secret meeting room.

"Master Murdosak, Jililange and Brahms will follow you on this exploration. I hope the trip will go smoothly." Salon said.

"That's great. With two generals accompanying us, this mission will definitely be a success."

"To be honest, I originally wanted to launch a large-scale campaign to cooperate with your actions, but now I am powerless." Salon smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. No one would have thought that the aliens would be so cunning." Murdosak said.

That night, everyone quietly left the city and headed for the designated location.

In a valley, the powerful Poincare gathered together, and the atmosphere was depressing.

The battle ended in a disastrous defeat, with the loss of three saints and many generals.

Looking at their injured companions, Preston's heart bled.

This was the most massive battle launched by Poincare since the Prologue Incident.

To this end, he, Gan Duo and other clan leaders had planned for more than half a year, during which they carried out more than a dozen feint attacks and deceptions. Finally, at the last moment, all the clans came out and almost destroyed the Devil's City in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, six saints suddenly appeared from the other side!
After this battle, the demon hunting clan was almost wiped out.

Most of the most elite tribesmen, including the three Flash Elves, Violent Marrow Demons, and Hunter Demons, were killed or injured, the Beast Corps was completely wiped out, and other vassal tribes suffered even more heavy casualties.

Preston almost broke his teeth, a trauma that would take generations to recover from!

"Saron, one day I will chop off your head!" he roared heartbreakingly.
