C170

… …

It was unknown when the sun had already dyed the clouds in the horizon red. Time slowly flowed, but it did not stop.

The huge ice wall shone through the red light onto them who were surrounded by the wall. They had already quieted down, perhaps because they knew what their end would be, and their lord was here to accompany them.

The setting sun was setting, and the cleaning of the plains was completed very quickly. With the help of magic, the outside of the city returned to its original state, with the exception of the irreparable wounds.

A cage of ice surrounded them, and it was unknown when the sad air began to fill the air. Sauta sat on the ice wall, looking down. Pinocchio and Klach were also there with him.

Liang Yue silently looked down. He could feel the faint sadness of Selia beside him, and it was only natural. Elves – the guardians of the Grassland Forest, had disappeared hundreds of years ago while the few Elves had survived. It was just like watching the destruction of the forest hundreds of years ago.

Liang Yue gently held her hand. Salia raised her head and glanced at him. There was a trace of a forced smile on her face, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.

"Do you want them to die?" Liang Yue asked.

Salia lightly shook her head and didn't answer his question.

The light of the setting sun became weaker and weaker, but it also became redder and redder. It was imprinted on everyone's faces, as if they were mourning the death of those who were waiting for it.

The surrounding air was incomparably quiet. There was only calm breathing and them waiting for death.

It was unknown when Anna had appeared here, but perhaps she had also sensed the sad atmosphere.

She had not been allowed to participate in this war since the beginning. As the representative of the academy, and as a princess of a Duchy, she had reported the results of this war to the Imperial Palace. Naturally, she knew what the end of this war would be.

Without saying a word, she walked to Selia's side and held her hand tightly.

Sauta raised his head. Although he was shocked by the appearance of the second Elf, he did not feel happy. After all, what happened next made his heart heavy.

"Go back..." he said to Salia and Anna.

He could not bear to continue watching them. After all, he could not bear to see their current appearance.

The two of them shook their heads. It looked like they were going to watch from here.

"Is that so …" Liang Yue sighed.

He didn't have any special feelings towards the fact that the monster was about to die. However, as a human, he still held some sympathy towards this kind of thing.

Waiting for death, quietly passing time.

The stars were shining down from above their heads, and the Milky Way had split the sky into two sides. Liang Yue had seen this scene many times, but none of the times was like today, where the clouds had disappeared without a trace.

"Heh..." Salia tugged at the hem of his shirt.

He looked at her.

Her face was still as pretty as ever, but the sadness on her face couldn't be hidden this time.

The report of the battle was out.

This was a shocking number. In today's final defense, the number of deaths was zero.

No one died.

Everyone's first goal in this war was their own lives. The Holy Mage's Church was the biggest contributor to this battle, and the healing abilities of the Holy Knight's Army had greatly expanded their horizons. Especially after they heard that the Blazing Angels released by Granti had saved many lives.

No one died, yet these monsters died. This was the end of the losers.

"I want to save them!" Salia said, looking at his face.

Death was already a foregone conclusion. It was now night.

No one thought that the highest leader of this war would save those monsters. Even if no one died, what about the students who died before the war really began?

Only the man on the ice wall had heard her. Sauta looked up at her in disbelief, but then he thought better of it.

There was no time left.

It was very, very quiet, and no one answered Salia's question.

She was an elf and the supreme commander of this war. However, she wanted to save her enemies, so no one would save these monsters that had already lost their minds. Even if they did not seem to be dangerous now, it was still just a thought on her part.

Everyone was surprised when a scene happened. Liang Yue didn't reject Salia. Instead, he looked at her and calmly said, "Okay."

No one knew why Liang Yue agreed to her request. Everyone knew Liang Yue's performance on the battlefield. He didn't put those monsters in his eyes, but so what if he agreed?

Salia looked at him with delight in her eyes. "Thank you!"

She laughed, and the world suddenly became lively, diluting some of the sorrowful feeling.

Sauta stood up and looked towards Liang Yue and the others.

"Forget it..." The voice was filled with helplessness and sadness.

Although he knew how much she wanted to save those monsters, she knew that it was not that easy to save them. It was already night time and there was only half a day left. There was no time to say anything.

"I want to try!" Salia looked at it and said these words word by word.

Those words had given them, who could only wait for death, a new lease on life.

However, there was still no clue as to how to save them.

However, the extraction of elements was too slow, and the Alchemy Association also didn't have that many instruments. Even if they took another step back and had that many instruments, the danger level of the extraction of Tala elements was far beyond their imagination. If they were to slightly lose control, it would lead to very serious consequences.

Liang Yue's body suddenly appeared below her. The sword in her hand swung out at the cat demon in front of her. The cat demon raised its head to look at her in alarm, then fell limply to the ground.

However, the monsters in the surroundings acted as if they did not see them, maintaining their original state.

Liang Yue pulled out a pair of gloves from the space and put them on. She stretched out her hand to grab the demon cat by the nape of its neck and picked it up. It seemed like she had done this quite a few times before.

Let it be as ugly as it is ugly. Who told her to save you? Liang Yue thought.

"..."
