As Andrews returned to the village of stars, Hildano did not show much pride on his face. Instead, he appeared to be in some pain. Previously, he didn't have the time to recall the deaths of the Night Elves that he had gone on missions with, because that was his lack of time, but he had plenty of time on the road, so naturally, he thought of their bodies that were pierced by javelins, and the limbs that were left in the Giant Demon's mouth. A disgusting feeling spread through his heart.

"Hildano, what's wrong with you?" Andrews was very concerned about this new Kadore star! For many years, he had relied on his utmost perseverance to grow up under the threat of wild beasts and Giant Demons, but he had never been cared for by the upper echelons of Kadore, so he had to wait until the commander position for more than 2000 years. This young man's talent was far better than his own, and if he added in his help, Kadore would gain a lot of weight in front of the queen.

"It's nothing, I just thought of my fellow countrymen who died in battle!" Only now did Hildano realize the cruelty of war. In the past, when he fought his enemies, he had never felt this way. After all, it was a battle between very few people, and there was very little blood.

"There will always be sacrifices in war. If they were to sacrifice themselves for the survival of the Night Elves, they will definitely ascend to the realm of Elune!" Andrews was evidently used to dying in battle. He had fought too many battles, and had lost too many lives at his hands. Even he could not count the number.

"Maybe you're right!" Although Hildano knew that Andrews was right, he still did not agree with what he had said. A person who had never experienced a war would not be able to feel the thought of being a commander, and would think that they simply despised human life, and even hated it to the bone! However, what Hildano liked the most was history. In the past, many of the hegemons had basically stepped over countless corpses. Therefore, he was able to understand the psychology of the ones in power.

Being able to understand didn't mean that he would be able to look down on life as well, so Hildano was still a bit depressed and listless.

In Andrews' eyes, he knew that he still could not accept such a thing, but he did not speak of Hildano because the matter was not so simple. Only when Hildano had thought it through himself could he truly walk out of the circle of obstacles, as the help of others would not be of much help.

Very quickly, Andrews and Hildano returned to the Stellar Village. Hildano immediately went to welcome the Night Elf archers waiting outside the village for their return.

"How many have returned?" Liu Ziyang's voice trembled as he asked, unsure if he could accept the number of casualties.

"Sir, we returned with 1086 people, 153 people died in battle!" As the other team leader, Kyle Lai said that Kyle had a lot of admiration for the other team leader, Night Elf. Even though both of them were of the same rank, he still gave the title of 'Commander' to the Night Elf.

"153 people!" Liu Ziyang took a deep breath. It seemed very rare, but in Liu Ziyang's heart, it was already a lot. The Night Elves only had a population of less than a million, and if they fought like this a few more times, the Night Elves would disappear or even go extinct on the ancient Kalimdor Continent!

"This is much less than what we lost in the past!" Andrews appeared behind Hildano and patted him on the shoulder as if to comfort him, but also to tell him that this was a fact, and a good one, that he had reduced the number of casualties this time.

"Commander, these are warriors who can escape from the Giant Demon Poison Claw. I hope they can obtain the meritorious services they deserve!" Hildano looked pleadingly at Andrews. He knew that a half-deserter like them might be punished, but he knew that this was not their fault. As they did not have the strength to escape from the Giant Demons' pursuit, it would be better to escape if they died! The second reason was because of his order, there was no reason to punish those who had left the team.

"Of course, Hildano. Don't I know that they are our brave warriors? To use over 1000 people to attack 50,000 Giant Demons. As long as anyone participated in this battle, they would all be brave warriors! " Andrews announced in a loud voice. He wanted to let those Qualdorei know that these Night Elves were not deserters, but rather brave warriors, not to be bullied. In the past, the Queen had always said that Kadore's powers were weak and could not support the Night Elves. Thus, the Queen had always been intimate with them, but she had never placed much trust in them. Right now, he wanted to tell these Qualdorei that without their sniping, they wouldn't have been able to achieve such a brilliant victory. Thus, he could only tell them that he had to work together with the Night Elves to defeat the Giant Demons.

However, Andrews's intentions did not seem to have been accepted by the Qualdorei as he had imagined. Looking at their expressions, he thought, That numbness! Andrews wondered if they had lost their mother, or if someone owed them millions!

Hildano had also been paying attention to the expressions of the Qualdoreans, but he was not surprised. Judging from Krueger's behavior a few days ago, there was no saving them.

No matter what the matter with Querdorei, Andrews began his appointment, he was going to report this victory to the Queen at Azshari, so there had to be someone who could stand up for him, and Hildano's arrival had solved the problem of Andrews's lack of talent, so that Andrews would not have to look for a commander who could command so many captains! But before that, he had to take those Qualdorei with him.

Thus, he gave the order to the magicians of the Qualdorei to report back to Isaleen. Magicians would only come out of their wizard towers during battles, and they usually stayed in the wizard towers or in the school.

As soon as he had transferred Querdore, Andrews appointed Liu Ziyang as the commander of the village of Stars, commanding thirty battle squads, a total of a thousand men. This was the postwar setup, but most of them were archers, with a small number of soldiers and priests.

"Hildano, remember, your mission is to block the Giant Demons outside of Akara. You can't let the Giant Demons past the back of the Constellation Village. That place will be our land, the place where all the Night Elves live. I don't want those Giant Demons to kill our civilians!" Andrews warned Hildano before he left.

"Hm!" I know what to do! " Hilda Nuo's answer was very simple, but her tone was solemn.
