Chapter 1919 An Unexpected Ending

"Retreat! Retreat!!" The words bellowed out like a blessing amidst the turmoil, cashing the Adonis soldiers to flee with all their might. But the real question was if they would be able to make it to the shores in one piece. Boom! Bam! Pah! Boom! Boom! Boom! Many ears rang painfully as sounds of death bombarded in all directions. "My eyes... my eyes... Help me!" "It hurts! Damn these bastards! Am I to be a legless man from now on? Adonis, save me!!" "Thamans, Monkards, Generals, Kardinal... please ask Adonis to save us!" "Save us!"

"Save us!" "Save us!" Many cries bellowed across the open space, as many attempted fleeing but found themselves in even more agony when the attacks from above landed. Sweat stung Tumi's eyes like Vipers when staring at his freedom ahead. Tumi felt Adonis must truly be with him when seeing how great he was at dodging the attacks. All around was nothing but a whirlwind of disorder and violence. However, Tumi stayed sharp and focused, rushing towards the docks like crazy. 'Almost there... almost there...'

The closer he came, the wider his eyes grew. Hah-hah!!!~

He made it! Reaching the docks, he quickly ascended the board connecting the deck to the dock. But just as he was about to dish out orders, he suddenly realized how incredibly quiet the ship was. "Well, well, well... dear guest, going somewhere?"

"_"

"A woman? A mere woman was able to command troops to sneak attack by ships and take me down?... I DON'T ACCEPT!"

Pah!

A fierce roundhouse kick landed on his jaw, forcing his burly body to roll back several feet on the deck's wooden floors.

He had to admit that this woman sure could throw a kick. Just look at his jaw that was already dislocated from her ruthlessness? Very slowly, the stunning lady crouched down and chuckled in amusement and pride. "Man, woman, dog, pig... what does it matter if if you end up in the bottom like you have now?"

...

By morning, Tumi and the surviving Adonis soldiers were locked up, awaiting transportation to Baymard where they will be kept in a secured facility like the Baymardian prisons. The city lord and many others were happy with the extra horses, ships, chariots, Ballistas and other items they gained from this brief war. Hahahahahaha~

The spoils of war this time were quite refreshing. Staring at these Adonis people, they didn't seem so terrifying anymore. "Quickly, look them up!... As for the rest of you, free the rowing slaves and take them to the city Lord's palace." One of the commanders ordered. Slavery is abolished in Zalipnia, so they will have to settle these people in, according to the new rules and policies in place. A portion of the money gathered from the soils of war will go to these rowers. They will also be granted a temporary housing place for at most 1 year until they get a job and move out. At this time when staying in the temporary home, they must also check in with a social worker once a month. After that, they'll have to report once in 6 months for the next 5 years. After 5 years, there will be no need to report anymore. They will officially become Zalipnians and not Temporary residents with Work Permits. Like so, Zalipnia's first solo war was a great success. They defended and won without any outside aid. But they weren't the only ones in a celebratory mood. (^_^)
