Chapter 1206: Surprise visitor
After the last fight, three days passed, and both sides returned to the standoff.
The Posthumous People city walls couldn’t be repaired. Although the battle only lasted for half a day, after the enemy got into the city, the Coolie Beasts continued to pull the iron chains, which caused two more parts of the wall to break.
You couldn’t find many materials to repair the huge holes in the city. They could only pile ruins beside it while breaking some structures to fill things up.
But everyone knew such a city wall couldn’t stop a well-trained evolved army.
Three days ago, the battle ended with a Posthumous People victory. Saint Light Hall tossed more than half of its troops into the city, and six digits of corpses were still being cleared.
The Posthumous People also suffered huge losses. Although they won, they were at a disadvantage apart from the last moment. Even with various weapons supporting them, they also paid a huge price. A big portion of their elite soldiers were lost, and the number of troops in the city was reduced.
Fortunately, they had Earth as a backline. The injured warriors were sent back to Earth to heal. After they recovered, these would be another source of soldiers.
In such a war, sacrifices were made at all levels. Both sides lost a large amount of race leaders and leadership people.
If this weren’t a race war, it wouldn’t be so intense, and both sides would end things quickly.
If they continued, they would lose everything.
But everyone knew that things wouldn’t end like this.
Posthumous People won, but be it the kings or Cloud Peak core members, they were nervously waiting for a thing. Did the Saint Father who was hit by the Punishment of the Gods die?
If he did, then even if the battle continued, Saint Light Hall could only finish off their remaining troops, and all that would be left would be their old and weak.
But...
Everyone was certain that the Saint Father was alive. If not, the other side wouldn’t be so calm.
If that old fellow wasn’t dead, what if he came to attack again?
Saint Pool was destroyed. The current protector revealed that the Saint Foundations were still there, but no Saint Water was left.
“Do you think the aura is... Familiar?” Little Tiger said toward his two allies.
Guang Yao nodded as he had seen it before.
Only Hong Xiang had a bad expression and wondered why she was here.
“Who?”
Hong Xiang sucked a deep breath and said a name that shocked Little Tiger and Guang Yao.
All the core Cloud Peak and Imperial City members were here a few minutes later. They looked at the figure in a black mantle.
“Seems like my arrival has shocked all of you.”
That person raised her head, and the flames revealed her features.
Saintess!
The black shirt person was actually the Saintess.
“No, we are just wondering whether or not to kill you.” Xia Lei laughed coldly.
Cloud Peak lost much in that battle. Even if Posthumous People were tanking most, they would definitely lose 10-20% of their troops.
“You would have already done so if you wanted to. Why would I still be standing?” Saintess was unafraid. She even walked forward to reveal herself fully in the light.
“Saintess, I don’t think we have much to talk. Why are you here?”
Ling Kun was the most powerful person in the Posthumous People race and represented everyone to speak.
She kept silent for a few moments. She struggled a little. Something was a huge problem for her.
“There are some things that we can have a discussion about.”
