The combined deaths of the Milanese and the people of Flore surpassed three hundred thousand. Three hundred thousand corpses—it would take more than a day or two just to bury them all. Spirit City had begun to clean up the battlefield, the victory had come so swiftly and yet so late. The sudden happiness finally diluted the stench of blood in Spirit City to some degree.
Darkness gives way to dawn. After an entire day bustling with activity, except for those on patrol, a great number of Milan Warriors fell into the sweetest of slumbers. The generals, too, finally had a chance to rest. Five long days and nights of hardship had not been in vain—they had preserved their homeland. They were all heroes of Milan.
The sky, from absolute darkness, gradually turned to dark blue. A new day was about to dawn, and for the Milan Eastern Legion, this was clearly a new beginning. However, for one person, it was already the end.
