Sun Never Sets won.
No one expected this result. When the referee announced the result, all the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group were stunned.
They won, they finally won!
All the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group seemed to have lost their strength and fell to the ground in an instant. They looked towards the east of the venue with moist eyes.
Shen Yanxiao stood in the stands and looked at those exhausted heroes with a smile.
“Ah Yu, tell them to come back,” Shen Yanxiao said to Yan Yu.
“Alright.” Yan Yu immediately moved and brought everyone with him.
Even though Sun Never Sets had won, it was a tragic victory. All of their members had suffered greatly and almost none of the hundred plus magical beasts survived. The seven wolves had passed out on the stage. Yan Yu and some of the tournament staff jumped onto the stage and lifted the seven of them up.
The members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group riddled with scars. The ones who suffered the least were the dozens or so villagers from the Graveyard of the Sun. They followed the tournament staff and helped the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group’s members down one by one.
Almost every single mercenary turned to look back at the bloody stage. They would never forget that their comrade’s lives had been lost there.
Victory was something to be proud of, but no one from the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had a smile on their faces. Today, they had lost their most important comrade, the contracted magical beast that had accompanied them for several years and who had gone through life and death with them.
However, they did not regret it because this win was their glory.
What they grieved was the departure of their comrades.
The venue was dead silent. Everyone watched as the heroes from Sun Never Sets slowly got lifted off the stage. Even their opponents, those from Fantasy Devil City, could not help but sigh for those brave warriors who did not care about their own safety.
Every step was extremely difficult.
“City Lord…” The mercenaries who were helped down looked at Shen Yanxiao with mixed feelings.
Shen Yanxiao said in a hoarse voice, “You have done well. I will send someone to bring them back and bury them in Sun Never Sets.” Even though many despised those low-level magical beasts, they were the first martyrs of many to give their lives for the glory of Sun Never Sets. She would not honor their corpses on someone else’s land. Even if they were dead, she would bring them back.
“Thank you, City Lord…” The mercenary who endured his internal grief nodded gratefully.
Shen Yanxiao asked someone to bring them back to the pavilion for treatment. The first round had ended, and the second round would only be held on the second day. Subsequently, the finals would be held on the third day.
Those who once ridiculed the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group for being weak had all shut their mouths at this very moment. This was the most soul-stirring performance they had ever seen in their lives. This battle, forged with blood and willpower, would forever be imprinted in their hearts.
Regardless of which city they came from or which country they originated from, they all sincerely admired those men who staked their lives for the glory of Sun Never Sets.
There were also those low-level magical beasts that had sacrificed themselves.
It was also because of this battle that people began to understand that the ranks of magical beasts might not be that important. That was because regardless of their rank, they would use their lives to carry out their master’s orders. Even though they knew that the road ahead was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, they still had no regrets.
