Chapter 1272: Evil Cannot Overcome Righteousness

"Heavens, why are you so cruel to us, East Victory!"

"Since ancient times, it's been said that evil cannot overcome righteousness—could that all be false? Why can invaders act so wantonly? Just as it was sixteen thousand years ago, so it persists today. Where is the Path? Where is East Victory's way out?"

"All our struggles end in vain. What meaning does our sacrifice hold in the end?"

Countless people wailed in agony, desperately and powerlessly resisting the catastrophe before them.

Even though they knew the likely outcome, in the hearts of both the fallen and the surviving warriors lurked an unspoken hope they couldn't help anticipating.

Perhaps, just perhaps, East Victory was still harboring an unparalleled expert powerful enough to turn the tide of battle. In our most desperate hour, they would arrive on the battlefield to reverse the calamity.

Until this moment, the cold reality slapped everyone awake.

What unparalleled expert?
