Seated at the head of the room, Cheng Yu marveled at the scale and intensity of this battle. It had surpassed all his previous battles combined.
Then he felt like crying, but had no tears left. This battle had depleted most of his steel reserves. The Kurland Kingdom alone had originally possessed ten billion tons of steel, and before the war, Cheng Yu had controlled more than half the continent. Even so, he had burned through a considerable amount of steel.
So Cheng Yu had won by a dangerously narrow margin. He suspected that if the enemy had continued fighting him with sheer numbers instead of summoning that greater demon, the outcome really would have been uncertain.
But there were no ifs.
Just then, the system delivered some timely good news.
Congratulations, host, on earning the achievement: Victor of the Calamity War (Silver Five-Star)
Cheng Yu raised an eyebrow. Oh, not bad at all.
He immediately opened the System Panel.

Then Cheng Yu opened the System Panel again.
