2714: City that Never Falls (4)

City that Never Falls (4)

"My lord, this is what we should do. The Forsaken Land is also our home. We are small and weak, so we are unable to participate in the war and defend our homes. We are already very grateful that you have allowed us to help. My mother said that guarding the Forsaken Land is what everyone in our Forsaken Land should do. My mother and the rest are unable to participate in the war and can only work hard to gather food for everyone in the rear. This is nothing compared to the heroes who fought bloody battles for Sun Never Sets." The little girl smiled sweetly. She should have been at a carefree age, but because of the war, she had become more sensible than her peers.2

In fact, the little girl's mother had the same thoughts as the residents of the other main cities. They could not participate in the war and could only pray for the alliance army in Sun Never Sets from afar. They prayed for the blessings of heaven to let Sun Never Sets stay forever.

"Lord…" The little girl shrunk her neck and looked at Shen Yanxiao. She hesitated and said, "Will the Devil race attack?"

While hiding in Sun Never Sets, the little girl and her companions had also snuck to the city walls to watch the war. The tragic battle outside the city woke these young children up from their nightmares every night.

The savage appearance of the Devil race was imprinted in their memories like a soldering iron.

The scarlet blood reflected in their eyes.

Shen Yanxiao looked at the little girl's worried face, lowered her head, and reached out to stroke her head.

"As long as I am alive, I will not let them set foot in Sun Never Sets."

Shen Yanxiao felt lucky to have precious kinship, friendship, and love. She guarded the Forsaken Land to protect the people she cared about.

The actions of the aristocratic families further convinced her that her choice was not wrong.

Those who were protected by them did not forget the heroes who died on the battlefield to protect their homes. They sat in other main cities and did what they could.

The war against the Devil race was not only fought by the alliance army of Sun Never Sets. All the living beings in the Forsaken Land and even the entire Brilliance Continent were fighting.

They could not lose!

Absolutely not!

After receiving Shen Yanxiao's response, the little girl smiled happily. She bowed to Shen Yanxiao and turned around to distribute the steamed buns in her arms to more soldiers.

Many soldiers had already woken up, and they had heard the conversation between Shen Yanxiao and the little girl.

Even though they were exhausted, their eyes flickered with unwavering faith.

Even these children were silently giving their all for them. What reason did they have not to fight to the death?

"Rest well. The next wave of battle is about to begin." Shen Yanxiao restrained her expression and looked at the soldiers who had woken up.

The soldiers nodded quietly. Amid the sound of artillery fire, this kind of calm silence had become everyone's habit.

They could almost subconsciously block out the sounds of artillery fire.

"I'll reward you after we win," Shen Yanxiao smiled and said.

"Lord, do our brothers need money? Keep it. When we win the war, don't forget to burn some paper on our brothers' graves," one of the soldiers smiled and said. His words attracted a group of laughter.

Being alive was already the greatest gift from the heavens. Those who died in battle were the ones they could never redeem…
