With the complete destruction of the Immortal Army, the nerves that had been tense for nearly a month in the fortress finally relaxed, but only the soldiers below were relaxing. After entrusting the war angels to carry out the fortress's garrison, Rhode gave all the soldiers a big vacation. For Rhode's decision, the soldiers who were already exhausted naturally raised their hands to welcome him, but this does not mean that Rhode and the others have free time. The losses after the war, the replenishment and calculation of personnel, all of this was a big trouble for Rhode and others.

There is no particularly remarkable problem in terms of combat losses. Since the undead creatures were unable to break through the city wall until the end, there was no such thing as a loss in the fortress. Only some damage was caused by the attacks of skeleton trolls and blood-sucking species on the city wall, but it was enough to find someone to repair these things. If it really didn't work, Rhodes opened the construction system and repaired it by clicking a little, but it was just to spend more money.

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

The veterans under Rhodes were fine, but they only lost nearly a thousand soldiers after the battles these days, which was an acceptable number for Rhodes himself. In any case, even with less than 10,000 people to resist the attack of the 150,000 undead legion, even if there were many powerful helps, the number of soldiers on his side was really a flaw. On the other hand, the local legions brought by Sir Baier suffered heavy losses, especially at the beginning, facing the attack of the Immortal Army, the soldiers of the inexperienced local legion were at a loss. Even if the number of sacrifices gradually decreased later, but after the war was over, the losses of the local legion were calculated.

It still reached more than two-thirds, which can almost be said to be a rather miserable number. When talking about this, Sir Baier, who led the troops to successfully defend the fortress and defeated the air force of the Immortal Legion, couldn't help but appear in a gloomy tone. However, this is war, no matter how well prepared, something beyond his expectations will happen. If you want to say something lucky, then there are not many soldiers injured this time. Even if you lack a broken leg due to the battle, you will recover as before under the powerful healing ability of the War Angel. Therefore, when calculating the number of casualties, there are not many real wounded soldiers, which is a great blessing in disgrace.

In addition, there were many places that needed to clean up the mess after the war. The war angels were responsible for clearing the traces of the undead creatures, while the war dead were concentrated to cremation. After remembering the dead, the next carnival banquet was held to celebrate victory. Except for the sea elves who had no interest in the excitement, almost everyone in the fortress joined the grand banquet, in this way to soothe their pain of the war and the pain of losing relatives and friends.

On another aspect, the "998" promotion plan planned by Rhodes and Qilian also bears fruit at this time. After confirming that the Immortal Army had been eliminated, the ground reinforcements, which had suffered heavy losses, naturally planned to withdraw and return to their territory to recuperate and replenish. Before leaving, many people, including the two legion representatives, had intentionally asked Rhodes about the Saint Girl statue. Although in the previous battles, everyone understood the advantages and disadvantages of the Saint Girl statue. However, their love

After all, it is different from Rhodes. Rhodes had to choose to use another way to supplement combat power because they didn't have enough manpower. However, these problems were not a problem at all. They had sufficient manpower and magic cannons as auxiliary. If they could get such a statue of artifacts in their own territory, they would be more confident in the attack of the Immortal Army. Whether it was the effect of weakening the undead creatures in the destruction barrier or the damage of the Holy Gun to the undead creatures, they were all very helpful.

As for their inquiry, Rhode did not hesitate much, nodded and agreed, and then handed over the details to Qilian, where she and An were responsible for discussing these. The initial intention reached by both parties is to pay a part of the deposit first, wait for Rhode to build the statue of the Holy Girl, and then deliver the goods to the door before paying the remaining amount. As for the transportation method, it is not a problem. Although the magic warship must not be changed to a cargo ship. However, in the Duchy of Moon, it is not difficult to find a few floating merchant ships to transport the statue of the Holy Girl in Moon.

At this moment, the war on the front also changed significantly.

I don't know if it was because of the annihilation of the Immortal Legion led by Curlund, the Immortal Army once again suspended their invasion. They seemed to be hesitating for the first time. And because of this, although they paid a heavy price to varying degrees, the other lines of defense in the Duchy of Moon were still stable and showed no sign of collapse. Even the Kingdom of Light also connected and blocked and repelled several attacks of the Immortal Army. It was even rumored that they were ready to counterattack and recover the lost ground. After hearing this news, Rhode was shocked for a moment and could not hide his surprise. Even to the extent of doubting whether his knowledge had been completely subverted by this world. It was not until he learned that the lines of defense included the War Angel Legion, Boulder and Slin, the two archangels sitting in the formation. He realized it and felt relieved again.

Thankfully, this world is still scientific.

Rhodes was not so happy that the Kingdom of Light could block the attack of the Immortal Legion, but he would not be so frustrated. In the end, the Kingdom of Light was either taken away by himself or was taken away by Yeh, and sooner or later they would die. The only difference was that he died at the hands of whom. If the Kingdom of Light could be attacked, Rhodes would certainly like to hear it. But if the Kingdom of Light blocked the Kingdom of Night, then Rhodes would not mind taking action himself in the future. Anyway, he did this in the game, and Rhodes would not mind doing it again in reality, which was also a full sense of accomplishment. Although he did not have much disgust for the Dragon Soul of Light itself, out of his understanding of the Kingdom of Light, Rhodes understood that what Lilian wanted to do was almost impossible, so in the end, he would probably have to do it himself.

Soon, Rhode threw this matter behind his head and focused on the plan in front of him again. However, he did not expect that he would repel the aftermath of the Immortal Legion again. It was not so easy to eliminate, and even affected thousands of miles away.

Casablanca.

The thick door slowly opened, and a girl in a water-blue color, with soft hair that was long at the waist, walked out quickly, and she raised her head proudly. The eyebrows were filled with confidence and spirit. In the dark eyes, a sharp gaze swept past, and the powerful momentum immediately made the whispering servants around him calmly and humbly lower their heads. At this time, the girl snorted coldly, and then she turned her gaze and looked forward, and there, an elf girl in a white mage robe was hurried towards her. Seeing the daughter in front of her, the elf girl immediately showed a happy smile on her face.

"You are finally back! Sonia!!"

"I'm back. Sherry."

Seeing the elf mage in front of her, a soft smile appeared on the face of the girl named Sonya, she quickly walked forward, stretched out her hands, and then hugged the elf girl. It was not until a moment later that the two separated.

"This time things are a bit tricky. I just came back from the House. How is his situation?"

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

"It's very bad...I think you'd better come and see it with your own eyes."

The clean and tidy guest room was gloomy, and the thick curtains blocked the bright sunshine outside. Andrei leaned against the head of the bed, and the originally energetic Knight was haggard and confused at this time. He had a thick white bandage on his chest, but at this moment, what attracted more attention was his expression. At this moment, the man no longer had the pride and confidence of the past, but instead he seemed like a dead person indifferent.

"Since the midsummer festival, he has always been like this..."

Sherli bit her lower lip and turned her head, as if she couldn't bear to see the scene in front of her.

"He never said a word since he woke up. Although we had asked the archbishop of the church to dispel the curse on him, he has completely changed now. I think he has not yet come out of the midsummer festival competition. He blamed his subordinates for the death of his men and the injury of Mr. Sodfast on his head. I... I don't know what to say to comfort him."

Hearing Sherry's words, Sonia frowned, and she walked to Andre and stared at the man in front of her. Then, the girl bit her lips and called softly.

"Andre?"

“………………………………”

Hearing the girl's call, Andrei did not react. He just stared quietly ahead, as if he was dead.

"Andre!!"

Sonia raised her voice, but the man still did not react at all. This made the girl suddenly feel angry. She strode forward, pressed the man's shoulder, and stared straight at her with a sharp gaze. But facing the girl, Andre was still motionless, his eyes were blank, without any glory.

"Look at me, Andre! What's wrong with you? Are you going to just get depressed?"

“……………………………”

"I know for you, that painful failure is unacceptable..."

Speaking of this, Sonia herself felt her heart twitching. That day, at the Midsummer Festival, she also witnessed the terrible tragedy with her own eyes. Sonia also empathized with Andre's failure. Among the knights of the Knights of the Magic Knights, there were many people she had seen. Many of them joked about the relationship between themselves and Andre. Sonia was once angry, but more of them were helpless and funny. However, those familiar smiling faces completely disappeared in the blood-stained festival. The knights who once smiled at themselves turned into cold and miserable corpses. That nightmare once bothered me for a long time, and many times she woke up from the night. She was in front of her bloody arena and the figure of the devil standing in the middle...

"But, this has happened!"

Thinking of this, Sonia raised her voice, not knowing whether to encourage the man in front of her or to feel ashamed of her momentary timidity.

"Man cannot live in the past, we always have to look at the future. Andre, this is what you once said to me. No matter what difficulties you encounter, stand up, walk over and cross it. You are still alive, and you still have the ability to stand up again and take up your weapons. Mr. Soderfast did not blame you, no one blamed you! If you want to avenge them, what you have to do now is not to hide here like a turtle. Instead, stand up, go out, face that nightmare again, and defeat it!"

Speaking of this, Sonia stretched out her hands and gently held Andre's cheek.

"Remember what you said to me before? We will change this country and make it a real country of light. Isn't this your lifelong ideal and wish? I will wait for you, Andre. I know you will be able to cheer up and come back here. By that time, I will tell you, my……….”

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

The door closed again. With the sound, the man lying on the bed twitched slightly. A ray of light appeared in his eyes, but it soon faded again.

"The situation is not good for Andre."

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

"The attitude towards Andre on the parliament is changing. You know, that group of people always like to put the blame on others. Sherry, I can only ask you. I believe Andre will cheer up. He is not the kind of man who is easily defeated by failure."

"I will, Sonia."

Hearing Sonia's words, Sherli nodded vigorously. The young elf mage turned around and stared at the door in front of her with a sad look.

"I will do my best to take care of Andre and cheer him up as soon as possible. If he hadn't saved me from the slave trader, I'd probably fallen into the terrible abyss of darkness now. Now it's time for me to repay him."

"Same is me."

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

"If it weren't for his support, I'm afraid I'm still a puppet in my family who has no personal freedom and cannot even fight for my will. But now, I can stand here and have my current status and identity. This is all because of the help and support he gave me, and I am willing to do my part for him. After hearing what you said, I can leave with confidence, Sherli."

"Where are you going?"

Hearing this, Sherli was slightly stunned and asked curiously. Faced with Sherli's inquiry, Sonia nodded with a serious and heavy expression.

"Yes, I just went to the Parliament and received an order from them that I will lead a team of investigations to Parfield Glenbeer in Moon to investigate some kind of connection there that is likely to exist with the Kingdom of Night."

"Parfield Glenbeer collar?"

Hearing this, Sherli's expression changed slightly, and a terrible figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

"That's not..."

"That's right."

Sonia nodded, her face dark, but she could not hide the anger and murderous intent.

"I know, so I took the initiative to ask for it."

"But, Sonia, this is too dangerous."|

Hearing Sonia's answer, Sherli 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 he was disappointed in that person's hand. This incident still makes Lord Lauren very troubled."

"Don't worry, Sherry."

Faced with Sherli's uneasiness, Sonya smiled confidently.

"The situation is different now, and I have the support of the Loctus Consortium and the official appointment of the Council of Light. The Council also agreed to my request and will send the Lord Anko of the Church to accompany me."

Speaking of this, the girl bit her lips, clenched her hands, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"I won't let Andre suffer in vain." (To be continued...)
