Chapter 1016: Glory Is My Life (6)

The Rising Sun City won.

No one could have imagined this result. When the referee announced the result, all the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps were stunned and looked at the ground.

They won, they really won!

Every member of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps seemed to have lost the last trace of their strength and fell on the ground in an instant; their eyes were wet with tears, looking at the east side of the venue.

Shen Yanxiao stood up, smiling at the group of exhausted heroes.

"Ah-Yu, quickly have people go to the ring with you." Shen Yanxiao said to Yan Yu on her side.

"Good." Yan Yu immediately set off and took some of their staff with him.

The Rising Sun City won the victory, albeit very tragically; all the members had suffered great damage and all of their magical beasts had lost their lives. The seven wolves had directly fainted in the ring. Yan Yu and others jumped on the ring and helped them up.

The members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps who were standing outside the ring were also full of wounds. The ones who had been injured less were the dozens of villagers from the Sun Graveyard. They followed The Rising Sun City's logistics staff and also helped the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, lending them a hand one-by-one.

Almost every member of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps couldn't help but look back at the ring that was soaked in blood as they left the battleground. They would never forget that their partners had been lost there.

Victory was worthy of pride, but no one in the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps had a smile on their face today, they had each also lost their most important partner who had accompanied them for several years in life and death.

But they did not regret anything, because this was their glory.

What they grieved was the departure of their partners.

The whole venue was still in silence as everyone watched the heroes from The Rising Sun City being helped to exit the battle stage. Even their opponents, the team from the Magical Fantasy City, could not help but sigh for this group of desperate warriors.

Every step they took was truly very difficult.

"City Lord..." The mercenaries who were helped by the staff looked at Shen Yanxiao with sorrow and joy.

Shen Yanxiao said in a hoarse voice, "You did very well. I will let people bring the bodies of your partners back. We will bury them back in The Rising Sun City." Although many people had been contemptuous towards that group of low-level magical beasts, they were the first martyrs who had sacrificed their lives for the glory of The Rising Sun City. She would not allow the corpses of these magical beasts to be left behind on the land of others. Even though they were already dead, she would still bring them all back.

"Many thanks to the City Lord..." The mercenaries who were saddened by their inner grief nodded gratefully.

Shen Yanxiao immediately let people bring the mercenaries back to their residence to treat their injuries. The first game that belonged to The Rising Sun City was over. The second game would be held on the second day, and after that was the final battle between the two winning teams on the third day.

The people who once laughed at the weak Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps closed their mouths at this moment. This was the most thrilling battle they had ever seen in the Four Regions' Tournament. This game, which was cast with blood and willpower, would always be imprinted in the hearts of the people.

No matter which city they came from, no matter which country they belonged to, they sincerely admired such a group of men who were prepared to offer their lives for the glory of The Rising Sun City.

There was also the heroic sacrifice of that group of low-level magical beasts.

Also, because of this battle, people began to understand that the level of magical beasts might not be so important after all. Because regardless of their level, the magical beasts would be willing to use their lives to execute their master's orders no matter what; even if they knew that the road ahead was a raging sea of fire, they would still not hesitate to move forward.
