"Silla First Television Station."
"We now bring this announcement to the Six Nations."
"The Great Abyss military's war against the Pestilence codenamed [Ai] has now concluded!"
"Through the tireless efforts of countless Plague Exterminators, under the leadership of Great Abyss Central, and with help from all sectors involved in pestilence eradication, the entity codenamed [Ai] has been purged!"
"Offer cannon salutes and cheers... for Great Abyss!"
"Offer cannon salutes and cheers for the Plague Exterminators!!"
The host on the screen was immensely excited as the broadcast signal spread across the Six Nations.
Great Abyss, one of the Six Nations, had launched a final war against an ancestral-level Pestilence—and had emerged victorious!
The details and casualties had not been described in detail, but the number of Plague Exterminators killed was almost certainly astronomical.
But regardless, victory was victory.
Great Abyss had defeated the most terrifying Pestilence at the very pinnacle of the pestilence world—the [Ancestor] that represented part of the origin, the horrific hemorrhagic worm!
The masses cheered and celebrated.
Across all of Silla, countless parade trains and airships surged through the streets.
It was as though some joyous festival were underway.
Only...
Beneath such a jubilant atmosphere, many shadows lay hidden.
Death... was an unavoidable subject.
Faint sobbing could be heard in streets and alleys.
Someone's son or daughter, someone's husband or wife, someone's parents... these Plague Exterminators had died in this war.
More than ninety percent of the dead could not have their bodies recovered. They had either become Ebola Zombies or vanished completely.
And Great Abyss's Above Human Dragon-level losses were even more shockingly severe.
Among the warlords, aside from Cha Shu, who had long since been killed by Ebola, two more had been added this time.
Liu Pingfeng of Life Bank had died.
