After the last fight, three days passed, and both sides returned to the standoff.
The Posthumous People city walls couldnât be repaired. Although the battle only lasted for half a day, after the enemy got into the city, the Coolie Beasts continued to pull the iron chains, which caused two more parts of the wall to break.
You couldnât find many materials to repair the huge holes in the city. They could only pile ruins beside it while breaking some structures to fill things up.
But everyone knew such a city wall couldnât stop a well-trained evolved army.
Three days ago, the battle ended with a Posthumous People victory. Saint Light Hall tossed more than half of its troops into the city, and six digits of corpses were still being cleared.
The Posthumous People also suffered huge losses. Although they won, they were at a disadvantage apart from the last moment. Even with various weapons supporting them, they also paid a huge price. A big portion of their elite soldiers were lost, and the number of troops in the city was reduced.
Fortunately, they had Earth as a backline. The injured warriors were sent back to Earth to heal. After they recovered, these would be another source of soldiers.
In such a war, sacrifices were made at all levels. Both sides lost a large amount of race leaders and leadership people.
If this werenât a race war, it wouldnât be so intense, and both sides would end things quickly.
If they continued, they would lose everything.
But everyone knew that things wouldnât end like this.
Posthumous People won, but be it the kings or Cloud Peak core members, they were nervously waiting for a thing. Did the Saint Father who was hit by the Punishment of the Gods die?
If he did, then even if the battle continued, Saint Light Hall could only finish off their remaining troops, and all that would be left would be their old and weak.
ButâŠ
Everyone was certain that the Saint Father was alive. If not, the other side wouldnât be so calm.
If that old fellow wasnât dead, what if he came to attack again?
Saint Pool was destroyed. The current protector revealed that the Saint Foundations were still there, but no Saint Water was left.
Many warriors and logistics members would bow to the destroyed Saint Pool mountain. One could even hear cries from the city walls.
But no one mocked them as that symbolized the Posthumous People.
Ye Zhongming was still not awake. No one dared to move him in case something happened. With the Punishment of the Gods gone, he was the final hope.
âWho knows when this scent will scatter.â Hong Xiangâs voice was weak. He was injured in the previous battle. Although Park Xiuying prioritized him, there were still numerous injured members, so he couldnât use too much mental energy. He could only bear the wounds to do what he had to do.
When he was free, he started to rant to Little Tiger and Guang Yao, who were close to him.
Little Tiger laid on the structures on the wall and looked at the sky with one eye. The lamps were basically all gone, with some occasional lamps burning resiliently.
The light made his face appear red. Little Tiger looked enviously at the Saint Light Hall camp, where the open area was brighter than here.
After losing an eye, darkness affected his vision a lot.
âWhat are you afraid of? After this battle, we will leave this place. In the past, you all had the Saint Pool, so you missed this place. Now that the Saint Pool is destroyed, just give up on this place.â
Hearing what Little Tiger said, Hong Xiang kept silent.
He naturally had deep feelings for the Imperial City, but he knew that Little Tiger was telling the truth. The Saint Pool was destroyed, so this place wasnât the Imperial City anymore.
âRebuild on Earth. Arenât the Saint Roots still there?â Little Tiger sat up and slapped his shoulder.
âRight, IâŠâ
Hong Xiang stopped. Little Tiger and Guang Yao were both wary. They looked at each other and saw the shock in their eyes. Someone had exposed their aura a few dozen meters from them.
If this person sneak attacked, although they would be fine, they would definitely get injured from all the panic.
The few of them looked toward the aura and saw a figure in black waving at them. She then walked deep into the Imperial City.
The three of them followed.
âDo you think the aura is⊠Familiar?â Little Tiger said toward his two allies.
Guang Yao nodded as he had seen it before.
Only Hong Xiang had a bad expression and wondered why she was here.
âWho?â
Hong Xiang sucked a deep breath and said a name that shocked Little Tiger and Guang Yao.
All the core Cloud Peak and Imperial City members were here a few minutes later. They looked at the figure in a black mantle.
âSeems like my arrival has shocked all of you.â
That person raised her head, and the flames revealed her features.
Saintess!
The black shirt person was actually the Saintess.
âNo, we are just wondering whether or not to kill you.â Xia Lei laughed coldly.
Cloud Peak lost much in that battle. Even if Posthumous People were tanking most, they would definitely lose 10-20% of their troops.
âYou would have already done so if you wanted to. Why would I still be standing?â Saintess was unafraid. She even walked forward to reveal herself fully in the light.
âSaintess, I donât think we have much to talk. Why are you here?â
Ling Kun was the most powerful person in the Posthumous People race and represented everyone to speak.
She kept silent for a few moments. She struggled a little. Something was a huge problem for her.
âThere are some things that we can have a discussion about.â
