Looking at the girl in front of him, dressed only in a thin undergarment, An Yi didn't move, simply letting her hold him like that.
“What’s the point of doing this?” Annie asked.
"Hmm... I can feel it... we're all still alive..." Lycorina said with a soft smile.
"Yeah."
I took off my coat so I could feel my body temperature.
The coldness of the corpse probably terrified her.
Lycorina rarely confronts human death directly; most of the time, she fights alongside three others.
Even after experiencing battles of a slightly larger scale, Lycorina was always in the queue to defeat bosses, and she wouldn't be with the heroes who were clearing out ordinary monsters.
Even if there are casualties, the believers will quickly make arrangements.
In other words, although the war has lasted for several months, this is the first time that so many heroes have died in front of Lycorina.
Especially... when a hero you know dies right in front of you.
"Should we resurrect her?"
This was a question An Yi kept to herself, but she wouldn't ask it directly.
Judging from Lycorina's reaction, Eddie's death had a profound impact on her.
An Yi knew that people would die in this battle. Although he would not feel the same melancholy and grief as the other heroes, he would still feel sorry for every hero who died.
Most importantly, he knew that it was clearly unfair to only revive Eddie.
Behind every fallen hero is their family, behind every fallen hero are their cherished companions, and behind every fallen hero... they certainly didn't want to die.
Why is Eddie the only one who can be resurrected?
Just because she spoke a few more words to Her Highness the Holy Maiden?
but……
It was precisely because she spoke a few more words to Her Highness that Annie felt that Lycorina might have the potential to revive Eddie.
So much time has passed, and she still hasn't resurrected anyone. ◆〓3∥〇ˇ｜伍々：
But isn't now the time to use this ability?
As for how to make the decision, that's up to Lycorina herself.
Suddenly, An Yi felt the girl in his arms go limp, and he instinctively reached out and hugged Lycorina.
After remaining in that position for a while, An Yi realized that she had fallen asleep.
Perhaps because my mind had been stretched to its limit, I finally relaxed, like a snapped string, and quickly fell asleep.
An Yi didn't linger on the smooth, delicate feel of Lycorina's waist, and placed her on the bed, covering her with a blanket.
She took a few appropriately sized clothes from the wardrobe next to her and threw them on the quilt, then picked up the saintess's robe that was tied up in a ball next to her.
He pushed open the door and left the room.
Outside the room, Milu had stopped crying, but instead of crying herself to sleep like a child, she sat in the hallway with red eyes.
“Her Highness the Holy Maiden has already gone to sleep. Would you like to rest?” An Yi asked.
“I… will stay here to protect Her Highness the Holy Maiden…” Milu said in a low voice.
"Well, please."
An Yi didn't say much, but silently went downstairs and left the house.
Walking onto the street, the buildings here are still relatively intact, and just walking on the small streets, you can't even tell that this is a post-war town.
But if you walk along the small street to the main road outside and look towards the outskirts of town, you'll see one complete building after another in front of you...
It's a search result for a QQ group: an endless ruin.
The rain was still falling, but it wasn't heavy; it was just a light drizzle falling from the gray sky, as if it had just covered the town with a thin veil.
The ruins were littered with goblin corpses of all shapes and sizes, lying haphazardly among the rubble of the houses. A strange, indescribable stench filled the air.
Occasionally, you can see small groups of brave warriors moving through the ruins; some are searching for something, while others are checking for any survivors who managed to escape.
If ordinary people were still living in the city, they would probably feel a sense of loss;
These few brave warriors were able to defeat a massive horde of goblins.
If ordinary humans were to guard it, even sending the most elite army of a country wouldn't be enough, right?
In fact, An Yi has seen similar scenes very few times.
After all, in his previous life he had been wandering in the territory of the demon race, and spent relatively little time in human cities.
Holding the blood-stained saintess robes, An Yi looked around and suddenly felt a little lost, unsure of where to go next.
At that moment, he suddenly felt the same way those brave souls searching for their companions' remains in the ruins.
Holding the body of the deceased can be a truly difficult decision.
Should we bury them, or find their families?
Oh no, the problem at hand is, where should we put them?
It feels like it's inappropriate to leave it anywhere; I can only hold it in my arms because...
I don't want to just display them like objects.
Go to where the support troops are located. There are believers there, and by the way, there are also some brave ones among the believers, though not many.
The support troops are probably at their busiest right now, as they need to treat the nine surviving heroes, continue to provide food, and even offer psychological support to them.
However, when An Yi arrived, believers quickly came to greet him.
"Sword Hero, this is...?" The other party recognized the saintess's robe in An Yi's hand at a glance.
"The remains of the Axe Hero, and the blood on them is also that of the Axe Hero. Her Highness the Saintess said they should be buried together," An Yi explained simply.
The believer was taken aback, then nodded: "Yes, Sword Hero, please entrust it to us for safekeeping."
We will give the Axe Hero a proper burial after contacting his family.
"Where will she be buried?" Annie asked.
The believer replied, "Usually, according to the family's wishes, they are buried in their hometown or in the cemetery prepared for heroes in the Eternal City."
"if you can……
After the town is rebuilt, let's build a monument in the town and inscribe their names on it.
They are heroes of the city, and heroes of humanity.
An Yi looked at the believer and said;
"They should be remembered."
A buzzing sound went through the believer's mind, and tears welled up uncontrollably. His hands trembled as he took the blood-stained saint's robe, and he said in a deep voice:
"Yes, Sword Hero!"
Hearing An Yi's words, the other heroes finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Yes, they are heroes of the city, and heroes of humanity!
They gave their young lives to this land, and they should be remembered by the world!
A few minutes later, An Yi arrived at the city gate.
The area in front of the city gate must be where the most brave warriors gather.
The various heroes used their different abilities to push the goblin corpses into the abyss created earlier by the earth-type heroes, then threw in the nearby wood cut down from the forest, and finally had the fire-type heroes set it ablaze.
Firelight ignited in the "abyss," and the heroes discovered that it was not bottomless.
At least the firelight could still be seen on the ground.
However, the goblin that fell also perished, burning in the fire along with the body that had been pushed down.
Airo was one of the people responsible for cremating the corpses.
"Oh? Mr. Carl, have you rested well?" Airo asked with a smile as he saw An Yi walking towards him.
Unlike other heroes, the four members of the Silvermoon Fortress squad were originally from the military and had experienced more life and death, so they did not seem as listless as other heroes.
Moreover, no one in their team was killed or injured.
“Where is Miss Shiloh?” Annie asked.
"Shilo? Do you need to see her?" Airo looked around.
"Ah."
An Yi raised her hand, pointed to the forest, and looked over at the same time.
"The goblins are getting stronger and more numerous."
We should go deep into the forest and see what's there.
In the game, it's perfectly normal to search the area after a battle.
This time, the goblins mobilized all their forces, suffering countless casualties. At least several mountain peaks of the Goblin Empire are now completely empty and have no means of defense.
If we go loot now, we might find something useful.

"Just the two of us?" Zhong. quN:二∝△九″∮四￡≡〇％'四三五〔＆六⊙∪四 Hilo carried the corpse of a large goblin and threw it into the trench that had become a cremation pit.
“Yes, the two of us are enough,” Annie said.
“But the two of us are the strongest here. If we leave, won’t the enemy easily take advantage of the situation?” Hilo asked, puzzled.
“There are no more enemies,” Annie said.
"Why are you so sure?" Shiloh frowned.
An Yi said calmly, "We're not the only ones who have suffered a major blow."
The goblins won't be sending troops anytime soon.
Hilo didn't know the specifics of the goblins, but Anyi knew very well that the enemy had already lost one of their royal servants, and they certainly wouldn't dare to commit too many troops to this battlefield in the short term.
