Captives (There Is Another Four-Thousand-Character Chapter)

A great battle came to an end.

After surrendering, the remaining several hundred thousand troops turned into light and became Captive Cards scattered across the land, leaving behind only Huang Tian City, battered beyond recognition by meteor strikes, smashed siege engines, and explosive blasts.

The losses were devastating!

The Yellow Turban Army alone suffered several hundred thousand casualties. Huang Tian City, painstakingly constructed at great expense, had also been more than half destroyed by meteors and all manner of siege weaponry. Defensive structures such as mechanism towers had been reduced to less than one in ten.

Elsewhere, whether it was Hua Mulan's Heroine Guards, Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Iron Cavalry, or the personal guards and private troops of the other heroes, all had suffered grievous losses. Gongshu Ling's Gongshu Descendants had been specifically targeted and were nearly wiped out.

Several Epic Heroes, along with a large number of Rare Heroes and ordinary heroes, had even fallen in the battle. Fortunately, the Mythical Building known as the Peerless General's Platform could revive them, mitigating some of the losses.

But only some. After all, the Peerless General's Platform had limited slots. In two years, it had converted only twenty-four Peerless Heroes. Heroes who had not been converted were dead for good once they fell.

In short, the casualties were devastating!

But this was how the world worked. War and death could never be avoided.

What mattered was not how many had died or been wounded, but how great the returns were, and whether a virtuous cycle of sustaining war through war could be formed.

Without question, Xu Yang's gains were immense. The captives alone numbered several hundred thousand.

Among those several hundred thousand captives were not only prestigious Magic Troop Types such as Zhou Tian Sword Cultivators and Netherworld Ghost Envoys, but
