On the streets of Hemgart, a group of people were moving slowly, the remaining militia and musketeers who escaped from the barracks moved cautiously, squeezing the civilians in the middle.
"Destroyed, all destroyed." Surya walked at the front, the female knight's golden hair fluttering in January within Hemgart City, the entire city in flames.
The female knight remained full of strength, but this couldn't change the overall state of the army: exhaustion, panic, fear toward the future, the motivational effect of Veronica's spell had faded.
Most civilians had lost their families and possessions, soldiers had lost their comrades, human morale was low.
This group of survivors walked along Mulan Street towards the walls, temporarily not encountering any Ratmen troops on the way, Surya ordered the elite Mackensen Musketeers to cover the rear, while leading the militia to scout ahead.
