With the retreat of Rangalia, the war between humans and earthwalkers has finally come to an end. With the concerns of both sides, the situation of the war was effectively controlled. The Earthwalker Legion sacrificed a great deal of expendable troops, but it didn't waver. The human army, with the strong support of the Maple Leaf Sisters, has also shrunk the casualty toll to a satisfactory level.

However, no matter how small the casualty figures, there are still casualties. The fifty-seven detachments of the whole army were wiped out in the forest, and the knights who rushed to the front when they charged the princess of the earthlines...... There are many people who have fallen on this land forever and never returned to their families. They were honored, but they lost their lives.

The warriors of Istalon did not lack the courage to face death, knowing that their sacrifice would bring peace and tranquility to their homeland. But in fact, this time the soldiers exchanged their lives for nothing more than a compromise by the big guys.

The legions of Earthwalkers are hiding in the mountains of the north to recuperate, and the task of cleaning up the battlefield can only be done by humans themselves. Ordinary human soldiers were unable to scavenge valuable loot from the Earthwalker troops, and with Ampere unconscious, Master Stephen's whereabouts unknown, and no one from the Academy came forward to purchase biological samples, they had to pile up the Earthwalkers' corpses and set them on fire.

"What? You want us to burn the bodies of our own people? That's too much!" a sergeant major jumped up and shouted excitedly, "My brothers fought bravely, and none of them were greedy for life or afraid of death! Why can't they enter the cemetery?"

"I have seen their bravery and understand your excitement, but if the bodies are not cremated immediately, the plague can easily ensue. Tiana patiently explained, "You don't want to bring the epidemic to the city, do you?"

"But...... Their relatives are still waiting in the city!Even if it's a corpse, at least let them see it one last time!" The sergeant's excited voice was tinged with tears, and he picked up the corpse of a young soldier on the ground, tears streaming down his eyes.

"This is little Tommy, who is only eighteen years old this year, and his mother has only such a son! and Teucer, who was marrying at home when the army was assembled, and had not yet had time to kiss his bride...... Think about how their families feel!"

Tiana crouched down and reached out to gently close the young soldier's eyes, she sighed and looked up into the sergeant's eyes.

"In such a temperature environment, his body would quickly decay and deteriorate, and then become a source of disease. If you let his family come into contact with the corpse, his family will be infected with the plague and carry it to the city. Within a week, there would be a massive outbreak of plague in Istalen...... That's what you want to see?"

"No way! Don't we still have Her Highness the Holy Nun, and we still have the sacrificial priests of the temple......" The sergeant major was still holding his mouth hard, perhaps trying to grasp the last straw with a fluke mentality.

"What if someone deliberately causes a plague, and Her Highness can guarantee the safety of everyone?"

"Don't talk about it and deceive the people!" the sergeant major blocked the soldier's corpse behind him, and roared with red eyes: "No one wants to desecrate the corpses of their brothers without the lord himself speaking!"

Patient persuasion ultimately failed, and the Horse Leather Shroud has long been a glorious tradition in the military, and is regarded as a symbol of glory that should not be easily desecrated. The maiden did not fail to make an attempt to make an appearance to Antonio, but the young lord, after much consideration, chose to believe in the Holy Nun's assurance.

Politically speaking, it was indeed the right choice to favor the religious forces represented by the Holy Sisters at this time, and it could not be said that it was a mistake to maintain the traditions of the army...... Everyone was so immersed in the joy of victory that they did not notice the lurking threat at all.

Under the indifferent gaze of the soldiers, Tiana stopped her futile efforts and walked back to her tent silently with her head bowed.

How can we alert everyone to the impending plague catastrophe?, Tiana pondered this question in her heart, and she stumbled on her feet and involuntarily threw herself forward.

The girl subconsciously closed her eyes, but did not wait for contact with the ground, but fell into someone's arm. Her face changed, and she hurriedly opened her eyes, but she couldn't help but laugh when she saw the person in front of her.

The man who appeared in his tent was wearing a set of angular full-body armor, and a wide gray cloak was actually put on the outside, and the whole person looked ghostly. Only the bright eyes hidden behind the mask remained unchanged, allowing the girl to recognize her identity at the first time.

"How did you get in dressed like this?" Tiana covered her mouth and snickered, "Dear Mr. El, you are already a person of status, and it is not a gentleman's act to sneakily hide in a lady's room." ”

"Who's sneaky?" Er spread his hand angrily and snorted angrily: "Who made my new set of equipment too stylish, and there are eyeless kittens and dogs jumping out to provoke ...... when I walk on the road."

"Generally speaking, kittens and dogs will run away with their tails between their legs when they see velociraptor skin. "Tiana ruthlessly debunked El's lies.

"It's a long story...... Ergan laughed twice, his face suddenly became serious, and he asked in a low voice: "The war is over, why haven't the corpses of the human side been cremated......? Something disgusting?"

"The soldiers refused to be cremated, and their comrades were buried in the cemetery, and the sacrifices at the temple guaranteed that there would be no outbreak of infectious diseases. They are now pouring holy water on the corpse, and I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the ground for a while. Tiana shook her head and said with a reluctant expression.

"After the war is over, it's time for the victors to share the cake, and it has always been so. With a sarcastic smile on his face, El sneered, "The nobles play politics, the merchants make a fortune, the soldiers show off their medals, and the priests compete for faith...... I think the lord has already paid for the holy water. ”

“...... Indeed it is. Tiana found herself unable to find a reason to defend herself.

"Tiana, there is one thing that must be reminded of you. "On the way I came, I had already found traces of 'those things', and I'm afraid they had already come to the neighborhood. ”

"Those guys are here a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure they've got their sights on here. Tiana narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "The bloody battlefield, the mountains of corpses, and the proximity to the city are really the perfect place to cause the plague. ”

"So...... What are you going to do? do you need my help?" El asked with concern. If the claws of the Cursed Sect have really touched Isttalon, there will be another fierce battle.

"Do nothing. Tiana hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Nothing?" El looked at the calm expression on the girl's face in surprise, and couldn't help but doubt his ears.

"The longer the abscess is hidden, the harder it is to clean up...... I would like to take this opportunity to make the Istalans aware of the seriousness of the problem...... As long as they notice a real threat, the city will at least be saved. Tiana bit her lip and said.

"So you're going to sacrifice some of your lives first?" El was shocked by the girl's sudden change of decision, "Tiana, what are you thinking, do you really think you'll be in control of the situation at that point?"

"I'm sorry, I can't think of any other way. Tiana turned her head away, not daring to look El's eyes squarely: "All you can do now is to leave with Tika immediately, if I die here, I hope you ......"

There was a crisp pop, and the girl covered her head and screamed, and she held back what she was about to say.

"I also have a lot of business to do, and I don't have time to play with you. El withdrew his hand and gritted his teeth and said, "If you're going to sit on the sidelines, then it's very leisurely, do you want to help me deal with the trouble in front of me first?"

"Your trouble?" this time Tiana was taken aback: "Are you really in big trouble?"

"It's not my trouble, it's ours!" El cautiously let go of his senses and probed around, then mysteriously pulled a worn badge from his bosom.

"Have you heard of the truth?"
