Chapter 543 – Cleansing Rain (1/2)
Chapter 543 Cleansing Rain
I looked up at the sky and saw Lin Han leave along with the group of Spirit Sword Dragon Riders.
All of the people on the ground released a sigh of relief. All of us sat onto the ground. Thinking we would all be killed, now we actually managed to escape this danger…
Yan Zhao Warrior leaned against a cliff and smiled, “F*ck, I thought this was the end. I didn’t think that we’d have even a glimmer of hope in this kind of darkness. To think that we managed to escape that catastrophe. Those Dark Moon Elves really are helpful…”
Jian Feng Han nodded, “If it’s like this, are we done with this quest?”
I said, “Nope, there’s more to this. We still have to bring Despair back to Ba Huang City!”
Frost nodded, “Yes, that’s right. We must escort Despair back to Ba Huang City!”
……
Luo Lin raised Despair and huffed. He then looked at the injured and weary army and softly said, “Thank you everyone for your trouble… this sword took much trouble. The rewards for this belong to everyone!”
Frost said, “My lord, there are Hybrid Demons everywhere here. We should leave soon. After all, we don’t have many people left. If there’s no one to guard, then this godly weapon will get stolen soon. Besides, I’ve taken a lot of damage too. There’s no way I can fight any longer.”
Luo Lin nodded, “Yup, let’s head out. Let us return to Ba Huang City!”
……
I looked towards Wan Er and said, “Wan Er, why don’t you report on our numbers?”
“No need to, we have 97 left…”
“Eh…. so cruel….”
“Exactly… But I keep feeling like given the circumstances, having 97 people left is already pretty good.”
“Yep…”
Qing Qian, Wolf, and Old K walked over, their armor in rags. Each and every one of them were battered and exhausted. Wolf smiled, “Brother Xiao Yao, us of [Zhan Long] are considered the best off. [Prague], and [Vanguard] have less than 40….”
“Alright…” I looked towards everyone and smiled, “Congratulations to us. We’ve finally completed over half of our quest. Let’s go, it’s time we escort Luo Lin back to Ba Huang City. With that we’ll have completed the quest!”
“Yes yes…”
All of us cleaned up the battlefield and collected the equipment that the Little Sickle Demons dropped. Our true goal however was the final reward from the quest. Besides all of the survivors have killed quite a few Hybrid Demons. The quest reward should be very good. Who knows, maybe everyone will get a Saint Tier equipment or something. Then the difficulty of this quest would be worth it.
……
We slowly left the Graveyard of the Heroes. This time, all of the big guilds have agreed to collaborate and fight against the terrifying enemy together. We even formed alliances and fought side by side. The experiences we had today were truly gratifying. No matter how hard we fight against each other, when our country is under attack, at least we’d come together in the end.
We walked along the Southern border of the Bloody Plains. All we took were the attacks of a couple dozen Demon Hunters. Su Ke lead a small team and killed all of them, removing our obstacles. When we left, we had 13,000 people, and now that we’ve returned to the Ice Ridge Mountains, we had less than a thousand. We took heavy losses. For the players, it was okay, at least we could revive. But the losses to Dragon City were great. Who knows how long it would take to save all of those elite generals and warriors.
After descending the mountains, we entered into the Ba Huang City Forest. As the feeling of coming home washed over us, we finally released our stern faces and managed a few jokes and conversations.
Close to an hour later, we arrived at Ba Huang City. At the gates of the city, the Duke Luo Lei had already prepared a grand escort to welcome us.
……
Luo Lin raised Despair and slowly walked forward. He knelt to the ground and said, “Father, we’ve brought Despair back. However, please forgive me for my weakness. Almost all of the generals that we took with us had died. Even the Supervisor had been hacked to death by the Hybrid Demon King!”
“What? Wang Xuan died in battle?”
Luo Lei was stunned and said, “Lin Er, are you saying… are you saying that you were attacked by a King Level Hybrid Demon in the Graveyard of the Heroes?”
Luo Lin looked up and said, “That’s right. Hell’s Song Lin Han, the legendary evil demon is still alive. And he’s extremely strong. He killed most of our people. We managed to escape his wrath and come back alive…”
Angela was shocked, “Brother… the fact that you were able to come back is good…”
Luo Lin clenched his fist and said, “To think that there are still some King Level Hybrid Demons in the Hybrid Demon Territory. Dear Lord, looks like those fortune tellers really were telling the truth. It is only a matter of time before the Hybrid Demons invade the south….”
“And so, we must continue strengthening Dragon City’s Defenses!”
Luo Lin said with determination, “As long as we can hold Dragon City, then those evil demons will not be able to invade Ba Huang City. Besides, Dragon City is right next to 不归海. Plus it’s been guarded by the Sea Demons. The Hybrid Demons won’t mess with those Sea Demons. As long as Dragon City is still standing, then the empires on the continent will be safe. Otherwise, the entire continent will be in danger.”
“Yes!”
