In fact, it was not accurate to say that both sides suffered losses, because the twelve survivor bases lost nearly two thousand paranormals in just one battle. Although most of them were low-level paranormals, they still lost a lot of high-level paranormals.
On the other hand, Shao Qing's side relied on the city wall and other aspects, so the loss was relatively small. However, they still lost hundreds of people. Moreover, there were not many people in Jiang City, so losing one person was painful enough, let alone hundreds of people.
After the battle, both sides sent people to drag the corpses back. They didn't know how to deal with the twelve bases, but Shao Qing's side would definitely be buried.
In order to prevent the corpses from rotting in the soil and causing a plague, or being eaten by zombies, all the corpses would be cremated.
In the north of Jiang City, a special cemetery for martyrs was built. After cremation, the corpses would be transported to the cemetery and buried there.
Shao Qing said that they were all heroes of Jiang City, so they were qualified to receive the highest respect.
When the corpses were collected, everyone was very sad. They were very familiar with those corpses. Before, they used to drink, sing, and joke with each other, but now, they were all in eternal sleep.
Some of them had lost their husbands, daughters, sons, fathers, mothers, and sisters.
The scene was so tragic, but no one cried.
Everyone's eyes were full of tenacity, sadness, and hatred. When the corpses were cremated, Shao Qing stood there for a long time until all the corpses were cremated and sent to be buried.
"We will remember them." Shao Bai held back for a long time, and then squeezed out some words of comfort. Shao Qing stiffly curled up the corner of her mouth. She always knew that people would die in war, and she had killed many people with her own hands.
However, the feeling of killing people was different from watching people you knew die in batches. One person's strength could not change a large-scale war, no matter how strong that person was.
Just like Shao Qing, she was already a level-eight paranormal, but she still couldn't change the fact that those people would die, and she could only watch.
As the top paranormal in a force, Shao Qing was like a heavy weapon that couldn't be used easily. It was more of a deterrent.
Once she made a move, it would mean that the battle had reached its climax, or it would be over.
"City Lord, you don't have to be sad. They sacrificed themselves to protect their home. Everyone will remember them. They died without regrets." A woman in charge of transporting the corpses said with red eyes.
She had just bid farewell to her husband and witnessed him being burned to ashes and buried in the Cemetery of Martyrs. In the entire Rivertown, no one was afraid of sacrifice. Just like them, everyone knew that even if they were all dead, as long as there was one person alive in Rivertown, they would protect their family members.
If Jiang City were to lose, that would be the end for them.
As long as Jiang City still existed, the people they cared about would live well.
Therefore, no one had any worries. They were not afraid of death. They were only afraid of losing.
Shao Qing understood the reason. She just couldn't react in time. Trying hard to suppress the sadness in her heart, Shao Qing pulled Shao Bai to see the wounded.
With her and Shao Bai around, the wounded would recover quickly. Even if they were seriously injured, they could stand up and walk the next day.
This was also one of their advantages. The enemy definitely didn't have such powerful medical personnel as them. Their combat strength would only decrease sharply. Delaying the battle was Shao Qing's only choice.
That night, they didn't encounter any sneak attacks. The next morning, Shao Qing woke up early. Now, she walked around the fortifications. After confirming that there were no problems, she waited for the next close combat.
Unexpectedly, at about nine o 'clock, Shao Qing received a message from Mu Lianchun and a letter of challenge from the enemy.
Shao Qing opened the letter of challenge and read it. There were a lot of nonsense in it. The most important thing was that they wanted to play a life-and-death battle with Shao Qing's side. It meant that there were so many people fighting here and there. How many people would die? Let's use the higher-ups to decide the outcome.
The second sentence meant that it didn't matter if they didn't agree. At worst, they would fight to the death. Anyway, they had more people. Even if they couldn't take down Jiang City, they could still make Jiang City suffer heavy losses.
After reading it, Shao Qing laughed. Who would believe their nonsense?
They clearly thought that they had more high-level paranormals than Jiang City. They were preparing to wear down the higher-ups of Jiang City. It would be best if they could kill Shao Qing. Then, without a leader, it would be easy to take down Jiang City.
After reading it, Shao Qing opened the letter from Mu Lianchun. Sure enough, Mu Lianchun said in the letter that the enemy had just held a meeting and was preparing to kill some high-level paranormals of Jiang City. It would be best if they could provoke Shao Qing to come out and accept the challenge. If they could kill her, this war would be equivalent to victory.
At present, the best thing for Jiang City was to defend to the death and stall for time.
After reading the letter several times, Shao Qing called her friends over and showed them the two letters. Her friends all said that they could accept it.
Firstly, they didn't want to lose any more people in Jiang City.
Secondly, they were very confident in themselves.
Thirdly, and the most important point, this thing was very good at stalling for time, which was good for their plan.
Mu Lin couldn't help but laugh. "Are the higher-ups of the enemy all funny people sent by monkeys? I even suspect that they are our spies. Otherwise, why would they be so considerate of us? "
"Not necessarily. Maybe they think that they will win. You should know that there is still a Mr. Qiu with unknown strength among them," Shao Qing said lightly.
She knew that Mr. Qiu. Based on his past behavior, he was a very shrewd person. Since the enemy had sent such a letter of challenge, they must have their intentions.
If they were too careless, they might fall into the enemy's trap.
"You guys go and discuss who will be the first to fight." Shao Qing waved her hand and sent her friends away. Then, she sat down and began to write the reply, preparing to accept this matter.
No matter what the enemy was hiding, since they had made a move, she would take it. Wasn't it just a one-on-one fight? The last thing she was afraid of was a one-on-one fight.
