The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
chapter-2631

When night fell, darkness enveloped the earth, and the Barren Land fell into silence. Looking down from the sky on this dark night, clusters of flames on the ground shone like stars in the night sky.

That night, no one rested in the five main cities of the Barren Land. Each one of them, every demon and every undead fellow came to the streets of each city. They held fire lamps in their hands. They gathered on the streets and lit the bonfires piled up on the streets. The fire lit up the whole city. White flowers dotted on both sides of each street. All were dressed in white and black cloaks, piously holding the fiery lamps in their hands to honor the fallen heroes.

This was the first day of the alliance army's war against the Devil Race, and it was also a day that people would never forget. Today, too many people had died and too many comrades had given their lives in the battle. On this day, there was no boundary based on race. Human beings, magical beasts, demons, and undead had all become eternal brothers here in the Barren Land. They vowed to fight against the enemy hand in hand.

They would remain in everyone's heart, and their spirits would always guard every inch of the Barren Land.

People would remember that today, the Desert City didn’t retreat, didn’t surrender, and did not regret anything.

In the war with the Devil Race, it was the only city that would give such a shocking battle, despite being completely destroyed.

After what happened to the Desert City, Shen Yanxiao issued a strict order. All the cities that met the enemy were not allowed to fight to the death in this war. After the devil army continued to push forward, fifteen cities in a row were wiped out in one day. Fortunately, Shen Yanxiao's order saved the soldiers of these fifteen cities. In the subsequent exchanges of fire, although there were casualties, the city lords of each city made timely judgments and minimized the deaths in each city. Of the fifteen cities, none suffered more than ten thousand casualties. All the fighters, at the moment the devils breached the gate, turned to the lower passage and headed for the safe area.

However, the city lords did not leave any bricks or tiles to the devils. At the last moment of the evacuation, all the city lords chose to blow up their whole city, leaving only rubble for the devils.

There was nothing to take advantage of; not a single thing was useful. The Devil Race spent nearly a million troops and obtained only sixteen ruins.

Blowing up the city that they had managed and lived in for many years with their own hands was a painful thing for every city lord’s heart, but they didn’t hesitate to do so in the slightest. A destroyed city was something they could build again. They would never leave anything to the devils, not even a brick or tile. They wouldn’t get anything from them!

Tonight, the five main cities were commemorating not only the fallen heroes of the Desert City, but also all the comrades who had died fighting in the front line of the war against the Devil Race today.

Those vivid lives were still laughing yesterday, but today they had become ghosts in the ruins, leaving their loved ones and friends forever.

It was also because of their heroic fighting that the progress of the devil army had been delayed again and again, and the Devil Race’s huge army had been continuously consumed.

On this day, the number of people killed on the Barren Land’s side had exceeded one hundred fifty thousand, sixteen cities were destroyed, and the economic losses had reached astronomical figures.

However, under this series of bloody data, an exciting number shone.

Nine hundred and seventy thousand.

In one day alone, the devil army had lost nine hundred and seventy thousand troops!
