Rose shook her head mercilessly. She frowned and said, "You've seen the situation in the Shura King's City. It's already good enough that we have a place for you. Don't pester us endlessly …"
After saying that, Rose forcefully shook off the adjutant's hand and quickly left this disgusting and stinking place without looking back.
"Damn it, I saw a few clean spaces on the way here. She's obviously messing with us!"
Not long after Rose left, a young deputy general angrily roared, but other than venting his anger by stomping his feet a few times, he didn't dare to do anything else.
After all, if they dared to escape, according to Shura's Capital's military orders, they would be executed immediately.
"Bear with it … We're like fish on a chopping block now. It's good enough that we're still alive. Let's set up camp first."
Another slightly older deputy shook his head helplessly. Then, he began to organize his subordinates to clean up the rubbish dump, preparing to build a simple camp before nightfall.
Although the rest of the Dansha soldiers were unhappy, they had no choice but to start cleaning up the rubbish. However, the stench made them even more irritated.
Even though they were soldiers of the Dansha Empire, as combat spiritualists, they were always respected and worshipped. Yet, they were given such disgusting jobs. It was hard for them not to feel resentful.
"If it wasn't for Pharaoh's mistake, we wouldn't have been forced to do such hard work. We don't even know when we'll be able to go back."
"Don't you think that there's something wrong with the Shura King's attitude towards Pharaoh? It's a little too good … "
"There's something wrong with that. Pharaoh even ordered us to kill our own brothers. He even killed the Sage himself."
"Do you think Pharaoh has some secret deal with the Shura King? Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost so badly this time."
…
The Dansha soldiers began to chat as they cleaned up the rubbish. Every time they thought about how they were struggling to survive in the rubbish dump while Pharaoh was having a good time in the Shura Palace, they felt very unhappy.
At first, they were just complaining. However, it gradually turned into suspicion towards Pharaoh. They even began to curse without thinking.
"Are you all so free? Pharaoh is not someone you can slander. Hurry up and get to work. "
Many of the deputies who were still clear-headed immediately began to scold their subordinates. However, it only stopped them from whispering. It did not stop them from complaining in their hearts.
On the other hand, Chiwil had arranged for Pharaoh to stay in the Shura Palace. On the surface, it was to entertain him, but in reality, it was to secretly monitor Pharaoh.
Feng Yixiu had purposely separated the Pharaoh from Dansha's army in order to drive a wedge between them. Even the highly respected Pharaoh could not resist the power of public opinion.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the 150,000 Dansha soldiers have been settled!"
After Rose finished dealing with the Dansha soldiers, she immediately returned to Feng Yixiu's side.
Chiwil had rushed to Feng Yixiu's side before Rose did. Although Shura's Capital's crisis had been temporarily resolved, the situation was still not optimistic.
Feng Yixiu nodded silently. Then, he began to walk aimlessly in Shura's Capital. Chiwil and Rose saw this and obediently followed behind him.
Even though the war had already come to an end, the scars left behind by the war could not be healed in a short period of time. Feng Yixiu walked along the streets that were dyed red with blood, the cries of pain sounding from time to time. The thick black smoke created by the flames of war still permeated the air...
Feng Yixiu followed the large group of corpses to the central plaza. Then, he saw a scene that shocked him.
Tens of thousands of corpses were densely packed in the central plaza. Most of them were ordinary citizens of Shura's Capital. A small portion of them were soldiers of the Shura Army who had died in battle.
Many children and women who had lost their loved ones knelt beside the corpses and sobbed. It was as if the entire world had collapsed.
Even Feng Yixiu, who had crawled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was shocked speechless when he saw this scene. Most of the citizens had died in a gruesome manner. It was obvious that they had suffered unimaginable pain before they died.
This war had caused unforgettable pain to Shura's Capital. Feng Yixiu looked at the corpses in front of him. His heart gradually became heavier and heavier. He could not help but clench his fists.
When Feng Yixiu walked among the corpses with a grave expression, his eyes narrowed when he saw a familiar face.
"In order to protect the citizens of the refugee camp from being slaughtered, Cheng Xiaotian faced Balam's army alone without retreating. Before he died, he did not let the enemy take a single step into the refugee camp …" Rose softly said with a grave expression.
Feng Yixiu slowly bent down and held Cheng Xiaotian's head with both hands. Tears had begun to flow from his eyes at some point. He said with a trembling voice, "Brother, I'm sorry I'm late …"
When Feng Yixiu established Shura's Capital, his original intention was to build a peaceful country. He did not expect that they would not be able to escape the ravages of war. Countless citizens and soldiers of Shura's Capital had lost their lives in this war.
"Just how many people from Shura's Capital died in this war?" Feng Yixiu carefully placed Cheng Xiaotian's body down and asked with a grim expression.
