Chapter 613: Chapter 371: Post-War Tianyuan City (6.4K!)_3
He believed it to be so.
What those who were alive had to do was to honor the sacrifice of the fallen and to expand the natural soil.
He continued, "In addition, there are thirty-nine severely wounded, currently undergoing treatment."
Milena took out three seeds, "These are Longevity Flower seeds. Give them to those in need. The fallen can no longer be saved, but those who are still alive must be rescued at all costs."
The middle-aged general did not take them, saying, "Aren't these for your own life preservation, Lady Milena? There's no need to worry. Indeed, some of us are gravely injured, but there is no immediate risk to their lives."
"The nuns from Tianyuan City have already intervened, saving many lives. The one leading them said that as long as one is brought here with a breath left in them, they will certainly not die."
He gestured towards the distance.
There lay the temporary aid station for the wounded, outfitted with some equipment prepared in advance by Tianyuan City.
And a flower tree over two meters tall grew there, continuously scattering the glow of life around it.
This flower tree, a certain kind of one-time treasure from their Natural Garden, was naturally recognized by Milena. The Elf priests from their garden were also there, treating the injured.
However, the true main force in treatment was a group of nuns in white robes, moving back and forth. They were not numerous, merely a score or so, but each held a pure and enormous power of the Holy Light in their hands.
A saintly, noble, and elegant nun sat under the flower tree, with a golden Holy Light Enchantment radiating hundreds of meters around her.
The place where she resided seemed like a land blessed by the Holy Light.
The critically wounded were brought into this area of Holy Light. As soon as they entered, their frail lifeforce, like a candle in the wind, stabilized, and their wounds began to heal slowly.
No wonder the general said that bringing them here would guarantee those in critical condition were out of danger.
The Holy Light was too pure, too rich.
This nun... no, Saintess, must be a favorite of the Holy Light.
Yet another 'Seed of Legend'. Once she steps into the Legendary Realm, she will gain even more favor from the Holy Light.
Milena thought, yet she didn't feel much shock in her heart.
She had grown accustomed to it.
However, she looked around.
The severely injured could be rescued, but those who had already sacrificed their lives could not be brought back, no matter what. Their Natural Garden had at least lost twenty-seven Elites, and the number of Tianyuan City's fallen warriors...
Was far greater than that number.
For Tianyuan City, perhaps this could also be considered a costly victory.
...
This battle indeed saw many Tianyuan City warriors sacrifice their lives.
It was unavoidable.
Mu Yuan's strategy was this: only the Elites of the Defensive Troops would defend the city walls. The mission to go out and snipe at enemies and dismantle war machines was undertaken by the Elite Undead and their officers.
Even so, warriors of the Human Race from the Defensive Troops and a few Azure Birds and Tai Qing Birds still fell to the assaults of monstrous powerhouses.
The number was not large, but it was certainly not zero.
The Undead warriors at the very front had sacrificed more than a hundred and sixty individuals.
This was the greatest loss since the establishment of the Tianyuan Territory.
At this moment, Dead Bone was not chasing after any monstrous Legends. It moved among segments of broken walls and areas of the battlefield littered with corpses.
"Boss, Bone Three Seventy-seven and others have perished in battle here," said an Elite Gu.
Dead Bone caressed the earth and after a while found some familiar skeletal remains. Shadows spread from its palm, covering the land in front of it and seeping into those few shattered bones.
After a moment...
"Click clack clack—"
Three Elite Gu, lacking armor and somewhat broken, resurrected from the land.
"Wow, Bone Three Seventy-seven is back!"
"Praise the Boss!"
"Oh, and Lord~!"
"Wait, Boss, please restore our bodies too," said Bone Three Seventy-seven, observing its tattered remains.
Before Dead Bone could speak, a captain nearby dragged them away. "You keep going, Boss." Then, looking at its team, "Do you still have a Steady Spirit, you need to copy the training material written by the Boss ten times when you get back."
Dead Bone had not fully repaired the bodies of Bone Three Seventy-seven and the others, of course, as a matter of economy.
It had a significant number of Undead to resurrect this time.
And the higher the level of the Undead, the more energy Dead Bone had to expend to perform the Undead Resurrection.
It had already fought several battles before this.
Even with powerful reserves like Wraith Sacred Mountain and the Well of Death, it had to be economical with its energy use. Otherwise, if it ran out of energy towards the end of the resurrection ritual, it would be quite embarrassing for the Gu.
Proceeding in the most energy-efficient mode was the only way to be sufficiently stable.
Resurrection was something only it could do.
Dead Bone had also tried to teach 'Undead Resurrection' to Bone Two, Bone Three, Bone Four, Hong Yi, and Rakshasa. However, despite its simplicity as an advanced skill, they simply could not learn it.
Dead Bone was helpless in this regard.
It had to shoulder the burden of resurrection itself. Fortunately, it had entered the Legendary Realm and had made some small improvements to the Undead Resurrection.
Now, the Undead Resurrection could bring back those who died within 'twelve hours' instead of 'half an hour'.
Otherwise, there would definitely not be enough time to resurrect all its companions.
That would be too sad.
Luckily, it had kept a strategic reserve.
However, merely twelve hours was still not a wide enough range to resurrect; it still seemed a bit... not steady enough.
Dead Bone walked through the broken sections of the wall:
