"I never would have thought the Minghai Monarch could actually get a Sacred Artifact to help him. That's insane."
"Yeah, it's been a long time since a Sacred Artifact appeared in the war. It really caught us off guard."

After the battle, although not every household was hanging white cloth for mourning, a dead silence fell over them all, as if they had lost their will to live.
It was tragic. Utterly tragic.
