Chapter 701: Chapter 701 - When the Dust Settles
The evacuation went on for hours. Players who had stayed behind volunteered to help, their earlier fatigue replaced by a newfound sense of duty. They carried the wounded, cleared rubble, and guided civilians to safety, working tirelessly to keep things running smoothly.
To everyone's relief, Knight Lionell, who had miraculously survived the brutal battle, stepped up to lead. He began organizing the efforts, directing knights and troops.
The operation stretched late into the night, lit by the quiet determination of those who had endured the chaos. Amidst the ruins, a fragile hope persisted. For now, they had won. And together, they would rebuild.
As the battlefield settled and calm returned to the city, players began to log out one by one. But before they disconnected, many made sure to collect their hard-earned loot, sharing it with others and celebrating their hard-fought victory.
This was a triumph for everyone involved, a monumental win in the face of overwhelming odds. Those who survived and fought gave their respects to every individual who had played a part in the massive battle, whether they had fallen or emerged victorious.
Tora and Max, who had overseen and broadcasted the event from start to finish, now sat slumped in chairs within the fortress. The exhaustion was evident on their faces, but so was the lingering sense of disbelief that it was finally over.
"This has been our longest broadcast, Tora," Max said, letting out a weary sigh. "And wow, the ups and downs, the chaos, the triumphs-I still can't believe it's done. What do you think, Tora?"
Tora nodded slowly. "Yeah, Max. Everyone's confirmed it now. No demons left in the city. The troops, knights, and guild members have spread out and cleared every corner. All the demons have been killed."
