The snow on the main roads had been shoveled away by the sanitation workers. However, the cyan grey granite floor tiles on the six main roads had turned dark brown as if they had been replaced by someone. Watching the floor tiles which had changed their color, all the sanitation workers and the people who were walking on the six main roads felt chilly and awestruck about Peter Hamplester, the new ruler of this city.
The floor tiles of the six avenues were dyed red by the fresh blood of demonized puppets. Those young men in Eschyle City who participated in cleaning the six avenues described the six avenues with one word — — Avenue of Flesh and Blood.
It was a scene which could wake people up from nightmares. In other words, all the nightmares that people could imagine became warm in front of the six fleshy roads.
"The six main roads in Eschyle City are like six huge sausages, which are filled with broken corpses and fleshes of demonized puppets. Broken corpses and heads could be seen everywhere and piled up into mountains. In the middle of the six main roads, there is a thick layer of mud which could not be distinguished whether it's bones or fleshes. It's the most disgusting and terrifying scene caused by being trampled by xiphodon repeatedly... "
"The people in charge of cleaning the six avenues of flesh and blood must use shovels, just like how they shovel the cow dung in the cowshed. They must scoop up the rotten things from the ground. Even the most strong-willed volunteers who are recruited will not be able to do so. Even the most strong-willed volunteers would vomit heavily in less than 10 minutes. No matter what, they have to do it... "
Among those who survived, there was a writer of a tabloid in Eschyle City. He was writing down the details of this catastrophe that he had seen and witnessed in his cold home. In case of being forgotten by later generations.
These details might be forgotten by later generations; however, they could never be forgotten by the residents in Eschyle City. Because it was the ruler of Eschyle City who completely changed the color of the six widest avenues in Eschyle City.
On the day when Eschyle City was recovered on April 12. It was said that the man called Peter had killed over 10,000 demonized puppets around the ruins of Iron Bear Castle alone. It was also said that Peter had killed over 20,000 demonized puppets barehanded that day. Additionally, these demonized puppets were the city guards of Eschyle City, which were the trickiest ones among the demonized puppets.
These legends made people afraid and awe-inspiring. For most of the residents in Eschyle City who were frightened by the twang of a bowstring, this city had such a ruler. At the very least, it would allow people to feel a sense of security in times of crisis.
The sense of security freed people from fear; however, the reality of Eschyle City pushed people into the river of sadness once again.
The crisis lasted 4 days from the beginning to the end, during which period, 1.37 million people were killed or missing in Eschyle City. 1/4 of the population in this city disappeared from this world. Almost each of them had their relatives and friends in this disaster. Or the death of someone they were familiar with. This was a big blow to everyone.
At 9 am, all the bells in the city rang at the same time, "Dang... dang... dang...", spreading over the entire city.
Hearing the bells, all the residents in the city started to mourn for the victims. All the residents in the towns outside the city stopped what they were doing and started to mourn for the victims in silence. As a result, the sad atmosphere spread over the entire city at once.
At the foot of a hillside several kilometers away from Eschyle City, hundreds of thousands of Eschyle citizens were queuing up in the snow and watching the monument to commemorate this catastrophe being erected at the foot of the huge cemetery where over 1 million people were buried.
All the influential figures in Eschyle City and some elders of the huge bear tribe attended this memorial ceremony.
In the heavy snow, Elder Rodolfo of Spencer clan was standing on the high platform in front of the monument with tears all over his face. He was complaining about the atrocities and disasters that demons and their lackeys caused towards Spencer clan, Eschyle City, the entire Ice and Snow Wilderness and humans.
Elder Rodolfo's thin body was shaking in the wind and snow. He almost passed out due to being too emotional for a few times, which made him look pretty miserable and pitiful.
Spencer Family had also suffered a great loss in this disaster. Almost all the elites of the family had been wiped out. When Elder Rodolfo described the loss of the Spencer Family in a very skillful and heartbreaking tone, his words immediately resonated with the crowd.
Zhang Tie was also in the crowd. In a thick black bearskin coat, his face looked a bit pale like a morbid disease.
On December 12th, after comprehending the fist intent of Iron-Blood Fist and killing numerous demonized puppets, Zhang Tie was also severely injured. That night, when they peeled off his broken armor which looked like being soaked in blood, everybody became silent at the sight of Zhang Tie's wounds. Some Spencer women who were cleaning Zhang Tie's body burst out into tears at the same time.
Zhang Tie's body was covered with 137 wounds, large or small. Some wounds might have long killed commoners. However, Zhang Tie still persisted with his tenacious will. He even forgot about the existence of these wounds in the battle.
"Why?" Elder Turin of Spencer clan asked Zhang Tie.
"I just feel that I'm no different than those charging fighters. When they fight, I could not just stand aside. If I could kill one more enemy, one of them might survive!" Zhang Tie answered.
After hearing Zhang Tie's answer, Elder Turin became silent for quite a while. Finally, he let out a long sigh.
The simple dialogue spread over the army of the huge bear tribe and the remaining city guards of Eschyle City in the shortest period of time.
Although Zhang Tie was listening to Elder Rodolfo's bloody and tearful accusation, he was still thinking about the scene that he saw in the basement of Pears' home — — that pale youth lying on the 10,000-year ice which was transported from Iced Continent and the bloody words that Pears left on the wall.
Pears had long known that someone would find the basement of his home. Therefore, he had written the cause and effect of everything clearly on the wall.
This was the crazy revenge of a man who had lost his hope towards the entire Spencer clan. For this revenge, even Three-eye Association became this man's tool!
Pears knew that he would die. Therefore, he didn't care whether there would be a great flood after his death. He only wanted Spencer clan to pay a high price for him.
Although such a thing was rare among major clans, it was not new.
This was the biggest scandal of the entire Spencer clan. Once it was exposed, Spencer clan would lose its prestige and would have to bear the fury of all the residents in Eschyle City. Therefore, only 5 people could enter the basement and read the bloody words on the wall — — Zhang Tie, the two remaining elders of Spencer clan, Toles and Gouras.
After reading it, the bloody words on the wall were erased. In everyone's opinion, this catastrophe in Eschyle City was a conspiracy directed by demons and Three-eye Association against Eschyle City and humans. A small figure called Pears was controlled by Three-eye Association and became a puppet. Actually, this was the original intention of those b * stards of Three-eye Association.
Everything was buried in the huge cemetery in front of him, including the boy named Haierfa who was lying on the ice bed.
Watching Elder Rodolfo who was standing on the high platform and those commoners in Eschyle City who were driven to tears by Elder Rodolfo's eloquent words, Zhang Tie's face gradually turned bad.
Elder Rodolfo was acting and lying at this moment; however, Zhang Tie just stayed silent on one side. Zhang Tie didn't know whether Elder Rodolfo was mature or sophisticated, considering the overall situation or selfishness, maintaining the interests of Spencer clan or himself. As long as he thought that he might become a common audience, Zhang Tie suddenly started to hate the role that he was playing as an accomplice to the liar on the high platform. Gradually, Zhang Tie's face turned more and more ugly.
"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?" O'Laura who was standing on Zhang Tie's side slightly pinched Zhang Tie's hand as she whispered worriedly.
