Chapter 611: Chapter 371: Post-War Tianyuan City (6.4K!)
```
Tianyuan Calendar, 341st day since the founding of the territory.
The defense battle of Tianyuan City had ended; the entire war didn't last long, not even two and a half hours.
The area outside the city was a complete mess, with holes of various sizes scattered everywhere, some large enough to be hundreds of meters in diameter, with molten lava flowing inside them like lakes of magma.
The enormous Giant Buddha of the Tree Realm had vanished, and the city walls of Tianyuan City were also broken and collapsed in parts.
But the entire army of defenders was not downcast, they only felt exhilarated as if they still had endless energy to expend.
"Roar——"
"Kill!"
"Drive all the monsters out, we won't have to live in fear anymore!"
The horns for counterattack had sounded.
The warriors still with strength leaped down from the walls, howling as they charged towards the remaining monsters.
It had been several minutes since the Thunder Flame Dragon had crashed to the earth, transforming into Da Ri and unleashing a violent tidal wave. During this time, a vast number of monsters were annihilated in the blaze, or torn apart by the residual might of the tides.
However, the land outside Tianyuan City was vast and the Nine-Headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon hadn't managed to reach every area.
Outside the city, waves of monsters still remained.
"The data shows that only those in the Legendary Realm, even kings among them, can summon and control massive waves of monsters. Now that those of the Legendary Realm are either dead or have fled, and the surviving Wisdom Monsters have also begun to escape, the remaining common monsters no longer pose a threat. The overall situation is settled; we have won."
Isloa manipulated several Starlight Law Spheres, using them as supports to stabilize Mu Yuan.
"Now that the situation is under control and the warriors are high in spirit, you don't need to keep posing anymore, uh, perhaps you rather enjoy this process?"
So this is the kind of Lord you are.
As if she had discovered something, she took a few extra glances.
Mu Yuan felt wronged, "Is that the kind of person I am? I did this to boost morale; we almost lost the city just now."
Previously, with the citizens of the territory in panic and the Elf and Giant reinforcements in despair, he had to strike an invincible posture to prove that the Monster Overlord was nothing but a paper tiger that could be crushed with a flick.
The continuous notifications of rising citizen morale in his ear were proof of that.
You Isloa, a hero, surely can't hear these notifications, can you?
But what was, was, and what is, is.
Having posed for ten minutes was now quite sufficient; most importantly, he was now completely drained, his soul exhausted to the extreme.
Wielding Territorial Power and forcibly controlling two super Large-Scale Magics had also put a tremendous strain on him.
This sort of soul strain and damage was likely not something that could be recovered in a short amount of time.
Not to mention recovery, Mu Yuan was so fatigued he could hardly stand steadily, barely able to move even a fingertip. If not for the nascent Spiritual Link network, which was maintained by all its users collectively without needing his attention, he might not have even been able to speak.
He truly didn't have the energy to speak now, relying on the Spiritual Link network or the Lord-Hero communication channel was simpler.
The horns for counterattack had already sounded, and the defenders had leaped forth from the city.
He, Lord Shepherd, could rest now.
"So, help me out quickly."
The pose could be dropped, but weakness could not be shown.
Isloa then used some sort of line-based technique, turning energy into invisible threads to Entangle Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan did not need to exert any force, his body began to move on its own. He glanced sideways, his gaze sweeping over the city and wilderness, then calmly turned and entered the Mage Tower, his figure disappearing from people's sight, leaving behind an indomitable presence, like the radiant sun in the sky, shining eternally.
Once inside the tower, Isloa hurried forward and supported him to the rest area inside, onto a soft bed.
Mu Yuan lay down and instantly fell asleep the moment he closed his eyes.
"That fast?"
Isloa was stunned for a moment. She gently removed his Battle Boots and adjusted the sleeping man's position slightly, before pulling a blanket over him softly.
She walked out and closed the door behind her.
"The war has ended."
"But my battle has just begun."
Unlike the battle at Wolf Head Mountain, despite also being a great victory, the destruction in Tianyuan City was not insignificant.
Attending to the injured, organizing Territory Citizens, city repairs, and more.
This massive amount of work might take days and nights to complete.
This was her war.
It was arduous, but her fighting spirit was ignited.
She walked towards the south of the city.
...
"Chop——"
Shen Linglong wielded a halberd taller than herself by half, and with it, she pulverized a Jackal Man of Legendary standing.
Legend-slaying Achievement: +1!
Brilliant.
Although the Legendary she knocked down was severely wounded under the horrific Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon, unable to even flee before its might, it was still a Legendary.
This near-dead, dying Legendary still required someone like her, a Legendary Strongman, to strike cleanly and crush it. Otherwise, even a Fourth-order Peak Strongman might be taken out by the dying struggle of the enemy.
Humming a tune, Shen Linglong dispersed her Domain and buzzed around the battlefield like a busy bee, diligently searching for prey.
…
"It seems there are no surviving monster Legendaries left."
Milena surveyed the surroundings and spoke.
Even now, she still felt somewhat dazed, thinking it all seemed a bit unreal.
Just a quarter-hour ago, the entire Tianyuan City was still teetering on the brink, on the verge of collapse.
She remembered the figure standing atop the high tower, shining like the sun, and thought, "Perhaps, everything was under the control of Lord Tianyuan all along, no wonder he can command super Legendaries like Duo Lai, he himself is even stronger."
