"Ha…"
"Ha…"
The people panted heavily as they watched the beasts retreating.
"Is this…"
"Are we done?"
"The beasts are retreating?!"
"We won?"
The soldiers were still in disbelief, but all the proof they needed was in front of them. The beasts actually retreated in all directions.
The walls might have cracked, but it was still intact. In front of the walls were nurous corpses, reaching almost fifty thousand in number.
After the battle that lasted for more than seven hours, the beasts finally retreated.
"We won!"
"Uooohh!"
The people cheered. Whether they were explorers or soldiers, they just hugged the people next to them, celebrating their victory.
"Are we going to chase them? There are still a lot of beasts around. They might still pose a threat." Gregory asked while glancing at Andrew, who was covered in blood.
"Wait for the commander's instruction. Besides, I don't think our n will have the energy to handle the pursuit. I think it's better if we just let them return and kill them bit by bit."
"Focusing our operation on the surface, huh?" Gregory nodded in understanding. With that plan, they should be able to kill beasts with minimal losses.
The commander let out a long sigh. He didn't manage to kill the brontosaurus, but it was also the brontosaurus that ordered the retreat. It seed that they managed to withstand the beast wave.
While listening to the cheers of the people, the commander still had one more job to do.
"All personnel who can still move are to help the people who are lying on the ground. Don't let any of them die. However, let declare this one thing. Everyone. This is our victory!" Even the commander clenched the radio a bit tighter at the last part as he had a hard ti containing his excitent.
That voice of his caused an uproar as their cheers erupted in unison.
"Uoohhh!"
It was so loud that they felt like the wall was shaking.
They managed to do sothing those other cities couldn't. Despite facing so many beasts, they managed to hold on.
While they managed to win, the biggest contribution was definitely given to Clovis… albeit no one really knew him.
Clovis was the beacon that connected this city with other cities. It was due to him that they figured out the beast locations and eliminated a lot of them from the start.
While those people helped because of Jay, Erwin, or others, it didn't change the fact that it was Clovis who steered the fate of the entire battle.
It was also him who gave the order to the Panorama Group that would allow them to defeat the beasts much faster than they originally thought.
In addition, Clovis' group managed to take care of two Tier 5 assassins.
However, Clovis didn't plan to publicize this. Everything was his fault. If those assassins didn't co for his life, this wouldn't happen.
Besides, it would also cause so trouble since he planned to leave quietly.
That was why Clovis remained inside his house this whole ti, receiving phone calls from multiple people, such as Aileen's grandfather or the two old n from the Renvolt and Havenson families.
It was unfortunate that he didn't have a lot of ti here anymore.
"We are going to leave the city soon?" Kanaria was baffled while lody frowned.
"Yeah. If we don't leave soon, we might not be able to leave anymore. I have made an arrangent with Hana. She will co here in three days, so please spend your ti with your family or anyone you like. It's fine if you go back to your city to say your goodbye, Erwin. Just go back right after."
"Haha." Erwin chuckled. "It's fine. I have told them that once I join you guys, I'll be leaving for a long ti, so there's no need to go back."
Clovis smiled apologetically.
"It looks like it's better to hide the truth about our group. This way, we won't be too noticeable and can leave the country as we like. Not that I care about those achievents…" Jay shrugged.
"Indeed. If we want it, we can just make a na for ourselves over there." Clovis agreed. While he knew the opponents would be much stronger over there, they would definitely be able to beco famous like in this city. He just hoped that they weren't forced to stay or anything since it would be annoying.
"How about my younger brother?" lody frowned.
"Don't worry. Everything has been taken care of. Hana will be sending the best team to leave. We'll transport your brother at the sa ti to the best hospital over there."
lody nodded. She didn't have any more worries now that she got Clovis' assurance.
"Anyway, see you guys in three days." Clovis waved his hand as he hung up the video call.
The battle that haunted the city ended in their victory. With this, they could leave the city without any more worries.
Clovis turned to Reolf and assured him again. "Following will definitely make you get targeted. However, I won't give you to anyone else, and I swear that I'll protect you."
"Waaf!" Reolf smiled, his eyes were filled with confidence. He, too, had an ambition. He wanted to beco the king of wolves that everyone would respect and fear.
Clovis rubbed Reolf's body. There was one thing that actually bothered his mind. After knowing about the mule and the item he wanted to transport, he couldn't help but wonder if this beast wave was caused by the combination of his existence and the mule.
Those people would probably use this beast wave to co for that item.
"Dark Moon rcenary, huh? The group Vina joined, which should be related to the mule as well. It seems that I have to pay special attention to this group. The fact that he can force a major force to make a move, even though he is only a Tier 4, he is no ordinary man."
