<h4>Ch. 2633: Memorial Ceremony (3)</h4>


    This day’s battle had ended with too many parents who had lost their children and too many children who


    had lost their parents.


    Brothers, friends,panions, and family members, the merciless ghting destroyed everything


    beautiful.


    Once the war broke out, there was only endless sadness and despair.


    However, they would never be defeated by this sadness and despair. They would ght with the will of the


    deceased forever.


    Shen Yanxiao slowly walked out of the City Lord Residence and Xiu stood behind her. Both of them were


    dressed in white with ck cloaks draped over their shoulders. Shen Yanxiao was holding a burning re


    mp in her hand. In the light of the re, her awless and exceptional little face had a very rm look.


    Amidst everyone’s grief, they all turned their attention to Shen Yanxiao.


    She walked quietly into the street, and people opened up a path for her and Xiu to walk through.


    The people in the Barren Land all had amon consensus: that their lord was exceptionally beautiful.


    But today, what they found in their lord was not only her peerless beauty, but also her perseverance that


    inspired them.


    They could not be defeated by cruel battles, nor could they be defeated by the departure of their loved


    ones.


    They were the people of the Barren Land. They stood in their hometown. Using their own esh and blood,


    they would defend their dignity as members of the Barren Land.


    Shen Yanxiao stopped at the central square, where more and more people had gathered.


    “Today, we have lost our honorablerades, our rtives and friends. Although they have passed away,


    their deeds will remain in the hearts of every one of us forever. They have not left. They will live in our


    hearts forever, and support us in this battle. The Devil Race is ferocious, their army is huge, but! We are


    members of the Barren Land. We live in the worst environment of the Radiance Continent. Yet, even this


    Barren Land has been conquered by us. What else can we fear in this world? Destroy them, expel them;


    let them know that in the Radiance Continent, in the Barren Land, there is no ce for devils! I will live or


    die with all of you!” Shen Yanxiao’s voice echoed in The Rising Sun City, which was lled with silence at the


    moment.


    “I am willing to live or die with the lord!” A chorus of shouts resounded through the sky.


    There was no fear, no panic, only hatred for the devils, only killing intent for those invaders.


    They would never give up!


    “Let’s pay tribute to the heroes who fought hard for the Barren Land today, and let them know that their


    will shall be inherited by us and their battle will be continued by us!” Shen Yanxiao swore loudly, raised


    her hand, and released the zingmp she had been holding in her hand.


    The lotus-like remp slowly ew to the sky.


    All the people released their hopes and memories with the remp.


    Clusters of ames rose from The Rising Sun City, burning with people’s persistence to achieve victory and


    adhere to the will of their fallenpanions.


    Beautiful re lights ew up from the city to the sky, like stars bearing hope, slowly ying above.


    That night, in the main cities of the Barren Land, countless remps rose in the air, illuminating a sky


    covered in mist.


    Light would never leave them, and people’s hopes would never be extinguished. They would be their


    own salvation, and they would unite as one to ght the devils to the end.


    They would always remember the pledge left by theirrades.


    No retreat, no surrender, no regrets.


    The Barren Land would never give up!
