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 their comrades in the Desert City.
However, they waited for a long time and did not see the gures of their companions 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 and laughed
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 plan 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 this land 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 incompetence, 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 blazing lamp 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 their companions, 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 fallen comrades, 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!
