Afterwards, Flora learned that it turned out that Anne was not carried away by those townspeople.

At that time, she just used a confusion spell to get rid of those guys, let them close the door, go downstairs, and drive away in a hurry. At noon, Flora thought that she had evacuated with those people.

Yeta Town, the reason why I thought the entire town had been emptied.

But in fact, she never left the room at all, not even her bed!

Of course, it's a good thing she didn't leave, otherwise, the situation here in Pietta would have been completely different now.

Anyway!

Although extremely heavy casualties and costs were paid, no matter what, this time the battle against the demons in the North and the army of awakened ones under the command of "Isli of the North" commanded by Miliya of 6 was finally achieved.

It ended with the great swordsmen's victory.

In this battle, the 'Silver King' of the north, the number one general under the 'Isli of the North', the 'Silver Eyed Lion King' Ricardo, who has the ability to annihilate all great swords, and the foot soldiers under his command

With thirty powerful awakened beings, the so-called 'Army of the North' was completely wiped out, and no one survived!

Among them, except for the four awakened beings who were captured by the swords at the heavy cost of more than half of the deaths and injuries, the remaining ones, including the 'Silver-Eyed Lion' Rikarudo, totaled twenty-seven awakened ones.

They all died at the hands of that little girl who was as powerful as a god!

perhaps……

The legendary gods are nothing more than that, right?

Anyway, that's what Miriya always thought.

As for the losses of the Great Sword side, in addition to Miriya, Flora, Claire, Jane, Tineb, Huilian, Cynthia ranked 14th in the organization, Tabatha ranked 31st in the organization, and Yuma ranked 40th, these nine people

Except for the sword which was almost intact, the other fifteen great swordsmen were all killed in battle.

That’s right!

It's the kind of person who is killed in battle and is dead!

Although, after the battle was over and it was confirmed that there were no new demons and awakened ones, the great swords immediately gathered all the corpses and wounded people into the still intact cathedral, but in the end... except for the nine of them,

In addition, those seriously injured also died one after another without exception.

The reason is very simple, because the fighting power and recovery power of the great swords are very strong. For these female warriors who have gone through inhuman training methods and endured the pain of demon flesh and blood all year round, ordinary injuries are impossible to affect the battle.

, and once they can no longer fight, it means that the injuries are already very serious. Coupled with the severe cold environment in the North and the lack of effective medical treatment, it is only normal that the wounded cannot survive.

So, when you see this cathedral that doesn’t know what god it worships, it is neatly arranged in three rows. It may be complete or incomplete, but it has been put together to the greatest extent. It is cold and even stiff and frosty.

Apart from standing around silently without saying a word, the surviving swordsmen could do nothing after seeing the corpses of their companions, and they felt very uncomfortable.

Generally speaking, the dead sword should find a nearby place and bury it with its sword as a tombstone. The living sword should also leave immediately and return to life. But now, for some unknown reason, they still continue to stay.

They gathered here, including those corpses, and they didn’t know why.

Gala~!

At this time!

Just as the great swordsmen in the church were brewing some emotions, the door was suddenly pushed open, and then, Claire, who had been ordered to do something before, walked in with Fengxue pouring in.

"Claire!"

"how?"

Seeing Claire's return, Miria, who seemed to have been expecting something for a long time, and the confused Flora next to her, immediately rushed to greet her.

"she……"

"What did you say?"

Claire went to settle and serve the little girl and to serve as a temporary maid. Of course, there were other purposes, and this was exactly what so many of them gathered here and waited patiently with the corpses of their companions.

Main reason.

The reason why only Claire was sent alone was naturally because among all the big swords present, only Claire had met him several times, and the relationship could barely be considered an acquaintance, and Claire also knew more about it.

For certain things, it is the most suitable candidate.

"She just had enough to eat, and then I boiled water to give her a bath. She should be ready to rest now, right?"

"As for the things I want to ask her to do..."

"She still refused."

Looking at Miria, Flora, Jane, Tineb, and Huilian who were surrounding them, and then looking at Cynthia, Tabatha, and Yuma who were looking at them from behind, Claire sighed first.

He took a breath, and then quickly said again without waiting for the disappointed expressions on several people's faces:

"But she said, that job..."

"She has actually been handed over to Elena. All we have to do now is wait patiently?"

"According to her..."

"When she teleported to Pieta, Elena and the others were only about three days away from here, and since it's already the second day now, they must be arriving soon, right?"

After saying that, looking at the relieved expressions on the faces of Miria and others, and looking at the pieced together corpses of her companions lined up in three rows on the ground, Claire said nothing more.

, just stood aside silently.

"Yeah?"

"One more day..."

"People from the organization shouldn't dare to come here to investigate so soon..."

"I just hope it's too late, right?"

He pondered and nodded, then glanced at the companions around him, especially at Flora, Cynthia, Tabatha and Yuma who were a little confused because of their ignorance. Finally, Miria

He still didn't make any further comments, just like Claire, he walked to the side and sat down on a cold chair covered with snowflakes.

"..."

Due to the previous battle, Pieta has almost been reduced to ruins, except for the cathedral, which is generally intact but has a few holes in the roof, and there are always cold winds and snowflakes falling.

, only the hotel where the little girl, who was as powerful as a god, was still intact.

However, it was definitely not appropriate for them to have so many warriors and so many corpses crowded into the hotel across the square, and it was not polite to the little girl, so Miriya moved

The place of gathering and even waiting is given here.

Although it's a bit cold here, compared to the warriors of demon flesh and blood who are still 'burning' in their bodies, this bit of coldness is nothing.

Furthermore, when she thought about the things she had to wait for and do next, she felt that this was the only place that was more suitable.

"..."

Claire, who walked to the side, just nodded towards Jane, Tineb, and Huilian, three familiar friends, then leaned to the side next to a church pillar, folded her arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

.

Although she was not seriously injured in today's battle, she was really exhausted. In addition, she had spent a lot of time to serve the little girl just now, and she thought of the long wait that would follow, so she planned to do a good job.

Take the opportunity to rest for a while.

"!!"

finally!

When Miria was sitting on a chair, staring at the snowy ground and wondering what to think, Flora strode up to Miria and couldn't help but asked:

"I do not understand!"

"Captain Miria!"

"I can see that you, Claire, Jane, Tineb, and Huilian seem to have some secrets that we don't know about, right?"

"besides!"

"You want us to collect the bodies of the soldiers and store them here, instead of burying them, and at the same time go looking for the little girl, and then wait for someone, you..."

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

Although she still had that soft and pleasant voice, Flora's voice and eyes were unusually firm, and she was obviously determined. If Miria didn't give her a satisfactory explanation, she might never give up.

Give up and give up?

"..."

Hearing this, Miria didn't speak. She just slowly raised her head and looked at Flora while she was sitting.

After a while, she shifted her gaze. First she looked at Claire, Jane, Tineb, and Huilian who were not far away. She saw that they all understood each other tacitly, and there was no doubt on their faces; then

, she looked at Cynthia, Tabatha and Yuma again, and found that they had the same doubts and puzzled looks on their faces as Flora. She thought for a while, then propped up her knees and eased

Xu stood up and said in a deep voice:

"That's right!"

"What we have to do is..."

"Waiting for someone..."

"Then……"
To be continued...
