Chapter 39: Casualties

Brian and Coyce hurried back to Firewolf, seeing many burned wheat fields, dilapidated houses, arguing mercenaries, and civilians sitting on the ground in despair.

Compared to the excitement that Brian had seen when he first came to Firewolf Town, it was obviously much more depressed.

It's just that it's very strange that along the way, the two rarely see corpses, you know, this carpet search, Odin Academy can almost be said to be pouring out, so the people who stay outside the Warcraft Forest are almost only some assistant teachers or unlucky students who are unwell before departure, and their actual combat ability is not as good as one percent of the search force.

As for the mercenaries and adventurers who stayed in the town, they didn't take advantage of the chaos to rob, they had already discovered it with their conscience.

"What's going on? how can this be?" said Koys, glancing around.

She wasn't surprised that Firewolf Town could become so miserable, on the contrary, in Koys's mind, if it had been ransacked by the Dark One Society, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that there was no grass.

The more I came into contact with the people of the Dark Unity Society, the more I realized how careful and clean the people in this Society were, and how far away they were from the so-called sympathy and humanity.

"I guess it's to stall for time. Brian visually surveyed the number of people around Firewolf Town, and it should have been about eighty percent compared to when he first arrived. These people can't disappear for no reason, so the only possibility is to escape back to Odin City.

"Procrastinating?" Koyce frowned, reacting randomly. Since these people fled back to Odin, they will inevitably directly bump into the regular army of Odin City who came to support, and at that time, these 'refugees' will at least take a while for them no matter how the regular army of Odin City deals with them.

"Damn!" Koyce scolded, slamming her fist into the broken wall beside her.

Brian looked at this annoyed female student, full of puzzlement, this guy, even if he was in a dead situation, didn't show such an expression?

What a quirky woman!

Blair shook his head, put the incomprehensible approach behind him, and headed in the direction of the academy area.

Although most of the instructors and students of Odin Academy are gone, after all, Yu Wei is still there, and there are not some people who are not long-sighted who dare to come over and make trouble.

However, at this time, even if no one came to make trouble, the insufficient students who fled back were also gloomy at the scene, and some of the students who saw him and Coyce coming back only looked up at the two of them, and then lowered their heads and continued to look down at the ground, or looked at the sky with blank eyes.

"Less than half?" Brian glanced at the number of cadets, and saw that there were only about twenty people, and nodded secretly, this number was much more than he expected.

He and Koyce's team were originally in the middle of the middle, but due to bumping into the Chosen One and Koys's magical side effects, they came back relatively late.

"Dude!"

At this moment, a voice with a mixture of surprise suddenly came from the right.

Brian turned his head to see that it was Luke.

However, this guy is now wearing several layers of bandages in his right hand and hanging from his chest, obviously with a lot of injuries.

"Brian, it's great that you're okay....... Section... Captain Coyce!" Luke was in high spirits the moment, but when he saw Coyce beside Brian, he immediately stammered.

"Man, why are you with her?" Luke asked as he quickly pulled Brian aside.

"It's nothing, it's just a squad that escaped together. Brian shook his head, not going to explain too much to Luke, but pointed to the latter's right hand and asked, "It's you, what's going on?"

"After that damn thing came out, the captain told us to come back first, but when we came back, we ran into some magical beasts, and I was fine, but the bones were broken, and the two students who were on the same team as me couldn't come back. Luke sighed, looked at the dark canopy in the distance, and said.

From their direction, the dark canopy still shrouded the sky above the Monster Forest like a huge dark cloud.

"Was there so many people when you came back, and did any first-year students escape during this time?" Brian knew that Luke's team was almost at the end of the search team, so he should have been the first to come out.

"Many, the people here are all students who combine three or four academy areas!" Luke explained with a wry smile.

"Three or four student areas!? Doesn't that mean that only about one-tenth of the people who escaped from each academy area!" Brian was shocked.

Although it is not certain that the first-year students who stay in the Warcraft Forest will die, I am afraid that they will not be far from ten.

"Alas. Luke sighed heavily, and said no more.

"So what are you staying here for? Are you waiting for the deans to come out, or are you planning to flee back?"

At this moment, Coyce, who had been silent on the side, interjected and asked.

"Captain Coyce, I don't know about this. Luke saw Coyce's gaze and subconsciously dodged a few times, but still answered truthfully.

Hearing this answer, which was not disappointed but not surprising, Coyce did not say anything more, but walked silently to a tent in the distance.

"Man, there's nothing to be ashamed of in order to survive. Seeing Luke's look of shame, Brian patted Luke on the shoulder, comforted him, and followed Coyce over.

"You and I have experienced the dangers in the Warcraft Forest. And now that the dragons are leaderless, they can't be blamed. After catching up with Coyce, Brian paused and said.

"I know. To Brian's surprise, Coyce didn't argue with him.

"What? You seem to be weird about my reaction?"

"It's nothing, I thought that someone like you who was looking for results would make a good note of their group of deserters. Brian replied vindictively.

"It's not because they escaped that they are in this situation, they are also victims. Coyce didn't seem to hear the provocation in Brian's tone, and said lightly: "And now, what is the result, it's hard to say?"

With that, Coyce stopped in front of a large tent.

"Leo, can I go in?"
