With the complete destruction of the undead army, the nerves of everyone in the fortress who had been tense for nearly a month finally relaxed, but only the soldiers below were leisurely relaxed, and Rod gave all the soldiers a big vacation after entrusting the war angels to carry out the garrison work of the fortress, and for Rod's decision, those soldiers who were already exhausted naturally raised their hands to welcome, but this does not mean that Rod and they have leisure time. The losses after the war, the replenishment and calculation of personnel, all of this was a big trouble for Rhodes and others.

There are no particularly noticeable problems in terms of battle damage, and since the undead have not been able to break through the walls until the last of their day, there is no such thing as a loss in the fortress. Only the city walls have some damage due to the attack of bone trolls and vampires, but these things just need to find someone to repair them, and it really can't be done Rhodes to start the construction system, and it will be repaired little by little, but it will cost a little more money.

But the number of casualties among soldiers is not so easy.

Fortunately, the veterans under Rhodes had only lost nearly a thousand soldiers after these days of fighting, which was an acceptable figure for Rhodes himself. In any case, with less than 10,000 men to resist the attack of 150,000 undead legions, even if there is a lot of powerful help, the number of your own soldiers is too small is really a hard wound. On the other hand, the local legions brought by Sir Bair suffered heavy losses, especially at the beginning, in the face of the attack of the undead army, the inexperienced local legion soldiers were at a loss, even if later, the number of casualties slowly decreased, but after the war was over, it was calculated. The losses of the local legions were still more than two-thirds, which was almost a rather miserable figure. When it comes to this matter, even Sir Byr, who led his troops to successfully defend the fortress and repel the air forces of the Undead Legion, can't help but have a somewhat gloomy tone, but this is war, no matter how well prepared. There will be things that you don't expect. If there is any lucky thing, then there are not many soldiers who were injured this time, even if they are missing arms and legs because of the battle, they will recover under the powerful healing ability of the War Angel. Therefore, when calculating the casualty figures, there are not many really wounded soldiers, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

In addition to this, there is a lot to clean up after the war, the war angels are responsible for clearing the traces left by the undead, and the war dead are gathered together for cremation. After the remembrance of the dead, a carnival was held to celebrate the victory, and almost everyone in the fortress joined in the feast, except for the sea elves, who had no interest in the excitement, and in this way soothed their pain from the war and the loss of their loved ones.

On the other hand, the "998" promotional plan planned by Rhodes and Seven Love also came to fruition at this time. After confirming that the undead army had been wiped out, the ground reinforcements with heavy losses naturally planned to withdraw back to their own territory to recuperate and replenish, and before leaving, many people, including the two legion representatives, had deliberately asked Rhodes about the situation of the Holy Maiden statue. Although in the previous battles, everyone saw the advantages and disadvantages of the statue of the Holy Maiden very clearly. But their situation is different from Rhodes after all. Rhodes had to choose another way to supplement his combat power because he didn't have enough manpower, but for them, these problems were not a problem at all, they had enough manpower, and they also had magic cannons as an auxiliary, if they could get such an artifact statue and put it in their territory, they would be more confident in the face of the attack of the undead army. Whether it's the effect of the Deathproof Enchantment that weakens the undead, or the Holy Spear's damage to the undead. It's all very good help.

As for their inquiry, Rod didn't hesitate much, nodded and agreed, and then handed over the details to Qilian, and she and Ann were responsible for talking about it. The initial intention reached by the two parties is to pay a part of the deposit first, wait for Rhodes to build the statue of the Holy Maiden, and then deliver it to the door to pay the rest of the payment. As for the mode of transportation, it is not a problem, although it is said that the magic warship must not be changed to a cargo ship. But in the Duchy of Moon, it is not difficult to find a few floating merchant ships to transport the statue of the Holy Maiden.

At this time, the situation on the front line also changed dramatically.

I don't know if it was because of the annihilation of the undead legion led by Colund, the undead army once again delayed their invasion, they seemed to show hesitation for the first time, and because of this, although they paid a heavy price of varying degrees, the other defenses of the Duchy of Moon were still solid and showed no signs of collapse. Even the Land of Light has connected and blocked and repelled several attacks by the undead army. It was even rumored that they were gearing up to counterattack to regain lost ground, and after hearing the news for the first time, Rhodes was shocked for a while, and could not hide his surprise even to the point of doubting whether his knowledge had been completely subverted by this worldly realm, until he learned that there were two archangels in those lines of defense, Boulder and Sling, and then he realized and put his mind at ease again.

Thankfully, this world is still scientific.

Rhodes didn't feel very happy that the country of light could block the attack of the undead army, but he wouldn't be so frustrated, anyway, the country of light was either cleaned up by himself or by the country of night, and sooner or later it was a death, the only difference was whose hands it was. If the country of night can fight the country of light, the ghost cries and howls, of course Rhodes likes to hear it. But if the Kingdom of Light blocks the attack of the Night Country, then Rod doesn't mind doing it himself in the future, anyway, that's what he did in the game, and Rod doesn't mind doing it again in reality, which is also full of a sense of achievement. Although he didn't have much ill feelings towards the Dragon Soul of Light itself, out of his understanding of the Land of Light, Rhodes understood that what Lillian wanted to do was almost impossible, so when it got to the worst of the trouble, he still had to do it himself.

Soon, Rod put the matter behind him and focused on the plan in front of him again. However, he did not expect that he would once again repel the aftermath of the undead legion. It is not so easy to eliminate, and it even affects thousands of miles away.

Casablanca.

The heavy door slowly pushed open, and a girl with water-blue, waist-length silky hair, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic costumes, walked out of it, and she looked up proudly. The eyebrows are full of flying confidence and look. In those dark eyes, the sharp gaze swept by, and the powerful momentum suddenly made the whispering servants around them calm down and bow their heads humbly. At this time, the girl snorted coldly, and then she turned her eyes to look ahead, only to see that there, an elf girl in a white mage robe was hurrying towards her. Seeing the young lady in front of her, a happy smile suddenly appeared on the elf girl's face.

"You're finally back! Sonia!! ”

"I'm back. Shelley. ”

Seeing the elven mage in front of her, a soft smile also appeared on the girl's face, she walked forward quickly, stretched out her hands, and then hugged the elf girl, until a moment later, the two separated.

"It's a bit tricky this time, I've just come back from the House. How's he doing? ”

Hearing Sonya's inquiry, Sherry's originally smiling face stiffened slightly. Then she lowered her head and sighed softly.

"It's bad......... I guess you'd better see for yourself. ”

The clean, tidy rooms are gloomy inside, with heavy curtains blocking out the bright sunlight outside. Andrei was lying on the head of the bed like this, but the originally high-spirited knight chief looked haggard and dazed at this time. He was covered with a thick white bandage on his chest, but at the moment, what caught the eye was his expression. At this moment, the man's face was no longer the pride and confidence of the past, but instead he was as indifferent as a dead man.

"He's been like this since the Midsummer Festival............"

Sherry bit her lower lip. Turning his head, he seemed to be unable to bear to see the scene in front of him.

"He hasn't said a word since he woke up, and though we've asked the archbishop of the church to dispel the curse from him, he's completely changed now. I don't think he's gotten out of the Midsummer Sacrifice yet, and he's blaming himself for the death of his men and the injuries of Mr. Sodfast, I ......... I don't know what to say to comfort him. ”

Hearing Sherry's words, Sonia frowned, she walked to Andrei's side, stared at the man in front of her, and then, the girl bit her lip and called softly.

"Andrey?"

“……………………”

Hearing the girl's call, Andre didn't react, he just stared quietly ahead, lifeless as a dead man.

"Andrey!!"

Sonia raised her voice, but the man still didn't respond, which made the girl suddenly angry, and she strode forward, holding the man's shoulder, and the sharp gaze stared straight at her. But in the face of the girl, Andrei was still motionless, his eyes were blank, but there was no brilliance.

"Look at me, Andrey! What happened to you? Are you going to be depressed like this? ”

“……………………………”

"I know that for you, that painful defeat is hard to accept........."

Saying this, Sonia herself felt her heart twitch, and that day, at the Midsummer Festival, she had witnessed the terrible tragedy. Sonia also empathized with Andrei's defeat, and among the knights of the Wizard Knights, she had seen many of them. Many of them joked about their relationship with Andre, and Sonia was annoyed by it, but more often than not, she was helpless and funny. However, it was those familiar smiling faces that completely disappeared at that blood-stained festival. Those knights who once smiled at themselves have become cold, miserable corpses. That nightmare had haunted her for a long time, and many times she woke up from the night to see the bloody arena and the figure of the devil standing in the middle.........

"But, it's already happening!"

Thinking of this, Sonia raised her voice, wondering whether she was cheering up the man in front of her or being ashamed of her momentary timidity.

"You can't live in the past, we always have to look to the future. Andrey, this is what you once said to me, no matter what difficulties you encounter, stand up and walk over. Straddle it. You're still alive, you still have the ability to get up again and take up your weapon, Mr. Sodfast doesn't blame you, everyone doesn't blame you! If you want to avenge them, all you have to do now is not hide here like a turtle. Instead, get up, get out of it, face that nightmare again, and defeat it! ”

With this, Sonia stretched out her hands and gently cupped Andre's cheeks.

"Remember what you said to me before? We will change this country and make it a true land of light, isn't that your lifelong dream and wish? I'll wait for you, Andrey. I know you're going to be able to pick yourself up and come back here. At that time, I will tell you that my ..............."

The girl was silent for a moment, then she sighed softly, stood up, and then turned and walked out of the room.

The door closed again. And with this sound, the fingers of the man lying on the bed twitched slightly. A glimmer of light came out of his eyes, but it soon dimmed again.

"The situation is not good for Andrey."

After closing the door, Sonia frowned and spoke to Sherry.

"The attitude towards André on the council is changing, you know, that group of people always like to pass the blame on. Sherry, only please. I'm sure Andre will cheer himself up, he's not the kind of man who is easily crushed by defeat. ”

"I will, Sonia."

Hearing Sonya's words, Sherry nodded vigorously. The young elven mage turned and stared at the door in front of him with sad eyes.

"I'm going to do everything I can to take care of André and get him back on his feet as soon as possible. Had he not saved me from the slave traders, I am afraid that I would have fallen into the terrible abyss of darkness by now. And now, it's time for me to reciprocate to him. ”

"Me too."

Facing the elf girl's answer, Sonia smiled bitterly.

"Without his support, I'm afraid I'm still a puppet in my family who has no personal freedom and can't even fight for my own will. But now, I am able to stand here and have my current status and identity, all because of the help and support he has given me, and I am willing to do my part for him. Hearing you say that, I'll be able to leave with peace of mind, Sherry. ”

"Are you going?"

Hearing this, Xie Erli was slightly stunned and asked curiously. In the face of Cherry's inquiry, Sonia nodded with a serious and heavy face.

"That's right, I went to the council just now, and I received an order from them that I would lead a team of investigators to the Parfield-Glenbel Territory of Moon to investigate some kind of connection there that is likely to exist with the Night Nation."

"Parfield-Glenbel Collar?"

Hearing this, Sherry's face changed slightly, and a terrifying figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

"That's not ..............."

"That's right."

Sonia nodded, her face gloomy, but she couldn't hide the anger and murderous intent in it.

"I know the way, that's why I took the initiative to ask to go."

"But, Sonya, it's too dangerous."

Hearing Sonya's answer, Sherry couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"That person is not an easy person to deal with, you forgot that Lord Lauren led the investigation team to Moon before, but came back with a nose in the hands of that person, and this incident is still a headache for Lord Lauren."

"Don't worry, Sherry."

In the face of Cherry's uneasiness, Sonia smiled confidently.

"Things are different now, and I have the support of the Locktos Consortium behind me, and the official appointment of the Council of Light. And the council agreed to my request, and sent the church's Anke to accompany me. ”

Saying this, the girl bit her lip and clasped her hands, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"I'm not going to let Andre suffer like this." (To be continued......)
