After the disaster, the survivors returned from the wasteland.

Looking at their homes in ruins, they felt hopeless. People who have lost loved ones sit in the damp mud and weep bitterly, or hug with others. The catastrophe took almost everything away from the people, but it gave the rest of the people an extra cohesion.

Not sympathy. Everyone is displaced, and it should be empathetic.

Led by the hunters, the people had to fight their spirits and explore the ruins. Even though everyone knew that it was almost impossible for anyone to survive the tsunami, the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was like a candle that illuminated the way forward, supporting them forward.

Most of the houses near the coast were destroyed, and the windmill mills on the hills were crushed by Nagian. There's basically no value left in the rear, except for a few broken arms and calves stuck in the building.

The McCullin Sacrifice did not escape the catastrophe. In the early hours of this morning a hunter's wife gave birth to a little girl, and the old priest went to the house early to celebrate baptism and mass. Maybe they didn't have time to escape when the tsunami came, and now even the houses are gone.

Balza was buried in the belly of the ship. Nagian's attack at sea left almost no one on board spared, except for Lorne, who was thrown ashore.

Among his companions, who were drinking together in the tavern, Guler also died. His body was found in a tavern that had not collapsed, and the appearance of his death was terrifying.

His left arm and head were stuck in the small window of the tavern, and a wooden table was fastened to his body, leaving him to drown. Perhaps Gul tried to get out at that time, but the current was so strong that his arms and head were stuck, and then he was pressed down by the wooden table, and he was completely unable to exert his strength.

Looking at his purple face, his mouth wide open, and his facial features twisted together, he must have experienced great pain that ordinary people could not imagine.

Lambaine was not spared. His long hair eventually became a burden, embedded in the tiles of the house, and the whole person hung from the side of the house and swayed from time to time, but it was long gone.

Hospitals are also considered to be the hardest hit areas. Although the sturdy three-story building stood tall after the tsunami, each floor was filled with seawater, and the internal damage was severe. The hunters, who were recuperating in the hospital, were not able to move freely, but the medical staff were evacuated in time.

Samuel is missing. When the tide receded, between the wards and the corridors, Yugohia endured her grief, turning her swollen corpses over one by one. Looking at the familiar faces, now lying quietly on the cold ground, she gritted her teeth and did not cry.

On this morning, he suddenly lost many of his companions. Before people even had time to understand what was happening, a huge wave poured down, bringing monsters and calamities, taking away hope and love.

As a leader, there's nothing more heart-wrenching than seeing it and not being able to do anything about it. But Yughya struggled to hold on, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart kept her from shedding tears. As a leader, she must be strong.

So, she also heard a slightly gratifying news.

The blonde young man, who also stayed in the tavern, managed to survive. Guler supported him with his right arm, allowing him to chisel through the wooden beams, climb onto the roof, and breathe hard to survive, and finally let him survive.

By the time the young man was rescued, he was crying and speechless. Maybe it's fear, or maybe it's guilt.

But other than that, there is basically no good news. After spending more than half a day, the centurion and others reported the results to Yugshia, and the total number of hunters remained, including 6 medical personnel, and 73 refugees.

Outcome...... Are there not even a hundred people left?

The statistic nearly broke Yugoshia, and she leaned against the iron gate of the town, her eyes wandering. The refugees also felt the grief of the princess, and more than a dozen young people came up to greet them, saying that they would be willing to inject the serum and become hunters.

That's a bit of comfort. Yugshia agreed to their petition and put the centurion in charge of these matters.

Lorne had not spoken since the battle, sitting by the moorland rocks outside the city, leaning against Erin. Yugosia dried their clothes with the fire of freedom, and brought a large cloth sheet to drape over them to keep them warm.

Erin leaned on Lorne's shoulders and took his arm. After the disaster, I searched and rescued for most of the day, and now it was dusk again, watching the sunset behind the mountain gradually sink, Erin said softly: "Such a day is almost over again." ”

Lorne didn't speak, feeling the girl's temperature, and his mood had eased. He felt guilty that if Balza had been prevented from going to sea in the morning, perhaps none of this would have happened.

But this self-blame gradually dissipated, as long as Erin is okay, that's fine. Lorne begins to understand that the only way to stop blaming himself is to stop bad things from happening.

That's why he's going to kill all the monsters.

Erin leaned in closer, and Lorne could even feel the heaving of her chest. She curled up like a kitten and exhaled a damp mist: "It's good that you came back to save me, otherwise I might really ...... I can't see you. ”

"I won't leave you. Lorne turned his head sideways and stroked her soft hair.

No one has yet told her about Lorne's incarnation of the will of the Old Gods. Lorne was hoping that the matter would be kept under wraps for as long as possible, but Rod came over at that.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Lorne's gaze seemed to be a silent warning. There was also a hint of unkindness in Rod's eyes, and he took a step forward.

"Thank you. Rhodes said, "We can't solve Najian without you." ”

Lorne nodded, not answering. He always felt as if Rhodes had something else to say.

But Rhodes just left: "I'm going to bury people later, so please be there." Have a good rest and see you in the evening. ”

The twilight fell on his silver armor, smearing it with a blush. Lorne looked at his back and exhaled silently.

Erin was surprised and asked, "You two have known each other so soon?" Looks like Rhodes cares about you. ”

"Silly. Lorne scratched the tip of her nose.

"Then you'll have to let me do the more. Erin Nunu mouthed.

Finally picking herself up, Yugothya beckoned to Lorne and walked through the ruins of the town. Lorne helped Erin to her feet and followed.

The night is coming, and the sacrificed people will be buried, and the souls will be immortalized. The group walked slowly through the town, Rhodes and the centurion around Yugoshia, like guardians of the royal family.

People came to the highland hills at the end of the town, where the surviving hunters had dug deep pits. A large white cloth was laid on the damp mud floor, on which all the bodies that could be found lay with their faces covered.

"Let's get started. When everyone arrived, Yugoshia nodded.

Looking at the hunters and refugees on display, Lorne suddenly remembered the town of Wood at dusk.
