Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1030: Chapter 627: Captive (Plus one more chapter of 4000 words)

A war had come to its end.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of troops, after surrendering, vanished, leaving behind only Prisoner Cards scattered across Yellow Sky City, which was left battered and littered with debris from meteor strikes and wrecked siege machinery.

The losses were grievous!

The Yellow Turban Army alone suffered deaths and injuries numbering in the hundreds of thousands and expended vast resources. Yellow Sky City, painstakingly built, was mostly destroyed by meteors and various siege devices, with its Mechanical Tower and other defensive constructions almost completely annihilated.

In other respects, whether Hua Mulan's Heroic Female Guards, Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Iron Cavalry, or other heroes' personal guards, all suffered heavy casualties. The Gongshu disciples under Gongshu Ling were particularly targeted and nearly wiped out.

Even several Epic Heroes and many Rare and Common Heroes perished in the battle. However, thanks to the Mythical structure of the Unrivaled Commanding Platform, some were resurrected, reducing the losses somewhat.

But that was only a fraction of the total. After all, the slots in the Unrivaled Commanding Platform were limited, and in two years it had only converted twenty-four Unrivaled Heroes. Those heroes not transformed were completely lost.

In a word, the deaths and injuries were grievous!

Yet, that's the way of this world; war and death are unavoidable. What matters isn't the extent of the losses, but the return on them and whether they can foster a sustainable cycle fueled by combat.

Without a doubt, Xu Yang reaped a huge bounty, capturing hundreds of thousands of prisoners alone.

These hundreds of thousands of prisoners included noble Magic Type Soldiers like Complete Heaven Sword Cultivators and Netherworld Ghost Envoys, as well as the Emperor's Forbidden Guard, more powerful than his own Breaking Formation White Dragon Army.
