<h4>Ch. 2632: Memorial Ceremony (2)</h4>


    The soldiers in the Barren Land had not died in vain. Their sacrice was rewarded with surprising returns.


    If there were no desperate resistance from these sixteen cities, then today’s destruction under the devil


    army would not have been just sixteen cities.


    It was feared that this number would have increased exponentially.


    In the crowd of The Rising Sun City, a tall gure stood upright with his hood covering his face, but his


    shoulders kept trembling and the mued sobs pervaded all directions.


    He was the city lord of Moon Rock City. Moon Rock City was the second city invaded by the devil army.


    When the Desert City was attacked, Moon Rock City was already ready for battle, and they had also


    cleared the passage to meet the retreat of theirrades in the Desert City.


    However, they waited for a long time and did not see the gures of theirpanions from the Desert


    City. It was not until the moment before the devil army appeared that they received the news. All the


    people in Desert City were killed; none were still alive.


    All dead...


    The two cities were not far apart. The two city lords often met together. Just two days before the war, the


    two city lords once sat together and had a good time.


    But in a short period of two days, the brother who drank with him, ate meals with him, talked andughed


    with him... had left him forever.


    As the second line of defense in the Barren Land, the city lord of Moon Rock City wanted to ght to the


    death like his brother. No retreat, no surrender, no regrets. But the Lord had issued a strict order that


    they were not to continue ghting. Once the gate was broken, everyone must follow the n and retreat.


    Those that disobeyed the order would not be a member of the Barren Land anymore.


    There was no punishment; just removing their identity as a member of the Barren Land was already the


    most powerful constraint.


    It was thisnd that they loved and had sworn their allegiance to. How could they give it up?


    So Moon Rock City followed the instructions and withdrew into the underground passage as soon as the


    gate was broken.


    He cried because he hated his ipetence, his weakness, his inability to avenge his brother and his


    inability to stop the devils.


    In the corner, a depressed man lowered his head and stared at the zingmp in his hand.


    He was the city lord of Lunar Glory City. When the devil army attacked, his three sons had all died under


    the hands of the armored devil soldiers. In their family of four, he was the only one of them left.


    His son was stabbed to death by the devils’ pikes in order to protect the retreat of the Priests.


    When his three sons died, he was directing the transfer of personnel in the city. He watched helplessly as


    his son died in front of him; he could not rush up.


    Because he was the city lord of Lunar Glory City, it was his responsibility to get all the people in the city to


    safety.


    He was a father and a city lord.


    But the moment the war started, he could only be the city lord. To protect more people, he could only


    abandon his own sons.


    Hatred?


    He hated it; he hated those ferocious devils.


    Regret?


    He didn’t regret anything, because these were the people of his city.


    Sadness enveloped the whole Barren Land. The dead were remembered by theirpanions, but those


    who survived had no joy at all. Their hearts were only lled with monstrous hatred. Their hatred towards


    the devils made them stronger and rmer.


    With the will of their fallenrades, they would continue to ght the devils until the invaders were


    expelled from the Radiance Continent and the world was at peace again.


    Never stop dying!
