554 APOLOGY (1/2)

The war has come to an end. The Blackwood Bandit Group's legend has been completely wiped out. Rick took a deep deep. He knew that he has accomplished his objectives. So he was naturally happy. Especially when you were leading your first army and won the war in some couple of hours, the taste of that victory is something no one would forget. Rick was no exception either.

He then looked at the two hundred soldiers. He found faces full of shock. Their faces were written with \”unbelievable\” gazes. No doubt. They were shocked to see the outcome.

When they heard that they are going to face five thousand bandits with just two hundred of them, they were mentally prepared for being wiped out! But fighting is their honour. So they still had to fight. But none of them expected that they would win. On top of that, a complete victory.

\”Guys! We won!\” ,Rick smiled and said, \”We defeated the army of five thousand! Please come back to the reality!\”

As soon as he concluded, the soldiers came out of their daze.

\”We won!\”

\”We actually won!\”

\”We killed five thousand bandits with just mere two hundred people!\”

\”We wiped out the Blackwood Bandit Group while taking no casualties!\”

\”This victory....I would never forget this victory as long as I live!\”

The soldiers started to shout, cry, celebrate, their victory to their limits. Their happiness has no limits. And Rick didn't stop them from celebrating. They need to celebrate the victory. If not, then when would they celebrate? So he let them celebrate as he looked at the Archers!

The Archers were the one who had taken a little injury. And that was also from the shuriken attacks which came from that weird Whirlpool! But since the injury was not lethal, he didn't care that much. After all, the injuries are curable. So he was at ease as he joined the celebration.

.....

Inside the City, it was total silence. No one dared to speak at all. The war was very short. But this short battle has given them goosebumps. If people comes in, then they would feel that the City was empty. That's how silent the city is.

First of all, they were not confident in the decision made by the committee. The committee sent only two hundred people to deal with five thousand bandits. On top of that, the bandit was Blackwood Bandit Group. And yet they managed to win the war.

There were some things that completely stunned them. Like when that giant Whirlpool appeared. They were worried. Some people even gave up.

But they felt terror when Rick sucked that giant Whirlpool as if it is nothing but a food. That was truly a stunning moment. Some people found it scary. Some people found it unbelievable. Some people felt that it was impossible. But the truth was right in front of them.

\”We—We won?\”

Someone asked as the broadcast was truly inconceivable. But his question broke the silence. People who were in daze came back to their senses.

\”We won!\”

\”We truly won!\”

\”How did we win? I can't believe it!\”
