After Lin Yu's half-hearted participation in the battle boosted the half-demons' morale, the war soon drew to a close, and the human members of the Ming Zi Department withdrew from their base.
The half-demons occupied a city. Together with the territory they had occupied before, it formed a defensive formation, like a nail driven into the remote border between Xia Jin and Sanqiu. This marked the half-demon faction's firm foothold.
However, although the half-demons' establishment of a new faction could indeed be considered "epoch-making,"
in the current state of upheaval throughout the Black Marsh, it was not the only "major event." Moreover, the half-demons' numbers and territory were still quite small, so among all the "major events," this one had relatively little impact.
This battle, and even the entire half-demon faction—including the northern frontier of Sanqiu, which had already descended into utter chaos—was merely one corner of the beginning of the Black Marsh World's troubled times.
Having learned of Lu Gu's arrangements and expectations, and having observed the situation from the sky for most of the day, Lin Yu knew very well that the Black Marsh would become extraordinarily chaotic from here on.
But...
For that very reason, this might actually be an opportunity for these half-demons.
Of course, with the end of the third "battle," during the final cleanup of the battlefield, Lin Yu also understood that he was about to "clear the game."
As for how far these half-demons could go after he left with Stiller, having lost his guidance, and whether they could continue surviving in the cracks of these chaotic times, Lin Yu had no way of knowing.
The fate of these half-demons, and the fate of this new race, would depend entirely on themselves.
The half-demons also knew that Lin Yu was about to leave.
