"I received your message from the Bluebird and learned that your situation was critical, so I immediately flew here on my sword. If I had been a little earlier, your men would not have died or suffered such a hardship."

Fang Han sighed softly, a hint of guilt and self-reproach in his eyes.

"Yes, this time, our Demon Suppression Division lost a total of eighteen experts. They were all elites of our Demon Suppression Division, but now they have died tragically in this land overrun by demons. It is truly heartbreaking."

Looking at the corpses lying scattered around her, Tantai Qiuyue couldn't help but shed tears, which slid down her cheeks, making her look pitiful.

"Commander-in-Chief, should we bury our brothers' bodies on the spot?"

Zhuge Yun also asked with a sorrowful expression, his voice choked with emotion and his eyes slightly red.

"We can't bury them here on the spot. I must take them back to the Demon Suppression Division's outpost in Tianyi City and find a propitious burial site. If we bury them here, those ferocious and cunning demon beasts will probably dig up our brothers' corpses and eat them, leaving them without a complete body and their souls unable to rest in peace. I can't let them die in the bellies of demon beasts and suffer such humiliation."

Tantai Qiuyue said with a firm expression, her eyes revealing an undeniable determination.

"Commander-in-Chief, it was my oversight that I didn't consider this aspect. I will lead everyone to transport our brothers' bodies back for a proper burial, so that they may rest in peace."

Zhuge Yun nodded and said solemnly.

Soon, Zhuge Yun, Sun Liren, and Xiao Yan got busy.

They carefully lifted their brothers' bodies, their movements gentle and solemn, as if afraid of disturbing their spirits.

"What's the situation in Tianyi City now? Why have so many demonic beasts suddenly appeared? Is there some hidden story behind this?"

Fang Han frowned slightly and asked Tantai Qiuyue with a puzzled look.

His mind was filled with questions, and he felt that there must be some unknown secret behind this.
