Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

The flame didn't last long. However, since most of the vanguard warriors had crowded the city gate before the flaming ball fell, they suffered heavy casualties. From more than a thousand warriors, their army dropped to a several hundred. To make matters worse, those who survived were mostly injured—it was a tremendous loss for the Moon Shadow.

All the corpses got charred with their final position seconds before they died. Their fearful and horrified faces were eternally frozen in their dead bodies. Some corpses piled up into small hills. It was both dark and heartbreaking to see.

This was a testament to how truly horrifying the attack was!

"That's true. But still, if they don't attack, the Phoenix Pavilion could manage it better this time. It's possible that the reinforcements we brought don't have to fight," Polly hopefully mentioned.

"To be honest, I want them to attack us—because it's the only way we have the chance to defeat them. This battle is a turning point for the fate of the Devil Kingdom. If we can win it, it will be a great sign to unite all the forces at the Devil Kingdom," Zachary honestly declared. If the Moon Shadow withdrew at this point, it would be a stalemate. He wanted to defeat them for good.
