Chapter 2631: Memorial Ceremony (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The soldiers in the Forsaken Land had not died in vain. Their sacrifice was rewarded with surprising returns.
If there were no desperate resistance from these sixteen cities, then ruins under the devil army would not have been just sixteen cities.
It was feared that this number would have increased exponentially.
In the crowd of Sun Never Sets, a tall figure stood upright with his hood covering his face, but his shoulders kept trembling and the m.u.f.fled sobs pervaded all directions.
He was the City Lord of Moon Rock City. Moon Rock City was the second city that was invaded by the devil army. When Desert City was attacked, Moon Rock City was already ready for battle. At that time, they had also cleared the pa.s.sage to meet the retreat of their comrades in Desert City.
However, they waited for a long time but did not see the figures of their companions from Desert City. It was not until the moment before the devil army appeared that they received the news. All the people in Desert City were killed. None were still alive.
All dead…
The two cities were not far apart. Therefore, the two city lords often met together. Just two days before the war, the two city lords once sat together and had a good time.
But in a short period of two days, the brother who drank with him, ate meals with him, talked and laughed with him… had left him forever.
As the second line of defense in the Forsaken Land, the City Lord of Moon Rock City wanted to fight to the death like his brother. No retreat, no surrender, no regrets. But the Lord had issued a strict order that they were not to continue fighting. Once the gate was broken, everyone must follow the plan and retreat. Those that disobeyed the order would not be a member of the Forsaken Land anymore.
There was no punishment; just removing their ident.i.ty as a member of the Forsaken Land was already the most powerful constraint.
It was this land that they loved and had sworn their allegiance to. How could they give it up?
So Moon Rock City followed the instructions and withdrew into the underground pa.s.sage as soon as the gate was broken.
He cried because he hated his incompetence, his weakness, his inability to avenge his brother and his inability to stop the devils.
In the corner, a depressed man lowered his head and stared at the blazing lamp in his hand.
He was the City Lord of Lunar Glory City. When the devil army attacked, his three sons had all died under the hands of the armored devil soldiers. In their family of four, he was the only one of them left.
His son was stabbed to death by the devils’ pikes in order to protect the retreat of the Priests.
When his three sons died, he was directing the transfer of personnel in the city. He watched helplessly as his sons died in front of him.
Because he was the City Lord of Lunar Glory City, it was his responsibility to get all the people in the city to safety.
He was a father and a city lord.
But the moment the war started, he could only be a city lord. To protect more people, he could only abandon his own sons.
Hatred?
He hated them. He hated those ferocious devils.
Regret?
He didn’t regret anything, because these were the people of his city.
Sadness enveloped the whole Forsaken Land. The dead were remembered by their companions, but those who survived had no joy at all. Their hearts were only filled with monstrous hatred. Their hatred towards the devils made them stronger and firmer.
With the will of their fallen comrades, they would continue to fight the devils until the invaders were expelled from the Brilliance Continent and the world was at peace again.
They would not stop until they’re dead!
