Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Once the war reached a stalemate, no one could guarantee what would happen. Shen Yanxiao was already prepared.
There was not much time left for them to prepare. Everyone began to make their final preparations. All the old, weak, women, and children in Sun Never Sets had gone through the underground passage and into the underground cities under other cities. The entire Sun Never Sets, be it the above-ground cities or the underground cities, was now so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through. This city had never been crowded, but right now, it was filled with the last of the strength of the Forsaken Land.
Wearing iron armor and holding sharp blades in their hands, they quietly waited for the moment the horn of the decisive battle sounded.
Shen Yanxiao wanted to send the Herbalists away before the war started. As for Ye Qing, he had to cooperate with Yun Qi, so he could not leave. However, she wanted Yin Jiuchen and the Herbalist Guild to leave first. Shen Yanxiao was not confident that she could win this war. Therefore, if possible, she wanted to protect her unarmed companions.
“Lord, I’m not leaving. We’re not leaving. If we go to war, people will get injured and the wounded will need to be taken care of. We have to stay.” In the face of Shen Yanxiao’s arrangements, Yin Jiuchen objected to Shen Yanxiao’s orders for the first time.
Their brothers and family were fighting a bloody battle, but they had to live an ignoble life. They could not do that.
Not only were the members of the Herbalist Guild unwilling to leave, but even the members of Su He’s mining team were unwilling to leave. They did not have much strength, but they insisted on staying here. Even if they were only responsible for logistics, they were willing to endure it.
Faced with this predicament, the people in the Forsaken Land did not choose to escape. They chose to stand behind the alliance army and risk their lives.
When Yin Jiuchen knelt in front of Shen Yanxiao and kowtowed so that she could stay in the city, Shen Yanxiao knew that they would not leave even if she used her status as Lord to force them to leave.
“Suit yourself.” Shen Yanxiao no longer forced them. Even though she had no expression on her face, she was smiling deep down.
With such a group of companions, what was there to be afraid of?
The horn of the attack was blown before dawn. Under the dim sky, the devils launched their first attack on Sun Never Sets.
Countless demons surrounded Sun Never Sets. The huge demon beasts clad in iron armor stomped on the ground, causing it to tremble. The fully armed demon beasts carried huge siege weapons and moved towards the city walls step by step.
On the city walls of Sun Never Sets, Shen Yanxiao suddenly appeared. She stood light of dawn.
Shen Yanxiao stood high above and looked down at the dense army outside Sun Never Sets. The ear-piercing sound of the horn pierced her eardrums. From afar, she saw that in the center of the devil army, Satan in black armor was looking at her with a smile on the back of an extremely huge demon beast.
The next second, Shen Yanxiao felt a familiar aura appear by her side. She turned around and looked at Xiu in golden armor with a faint smile.
“The decisive battle is finally coming, ” Shen Yanxiao said.
“I will follow you through life and death.” Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao and held her hand tightly.
Shen Yanxiao’s smile entered her eyes. She felt that she had no regrets in her life.
She was content to have family, friends, and loved ones.
Turning around, Shen Yanxiao looked at the devil army again and suddenly raised her hand.
“Defensive array, activate!”
