Book 10: Chapter 38
Ling Yue watched Tanya throw a round thing off the top. She covered her mouth and screamed with grief, “Aaaahhh!!”
I watched the panther’s head get thrown off coldly. I then roared, “We don’t need prisoners, understood?! We don’t need prisoners!”
Tanya lingered for a moment, and then drew her short sword.
“No… Don’t… Don’t… I… I…”
Ling Yue knelt powerlessly next to me. Her tears covered her face, but I ignored her. Marvel was the one she loved. She still had feelings for him despite him betraying her. Her Marvel was now a corpse. The two were bound to never meet again.
It was war. I had no need to show Ling Yue sympathy. Ling Yue was on my side; she should’ve supported me. I was very unhappy with the fact that she still had feelings for Marvel. I randomly felt good now that he was dead. Marvel was the only who courageously resisted us. With him dead, we’d be able to press forward with an indomitable will. There was nobody else who would dare to stop us.
The painful roars of the panthers on the walls could be heard along with sequences of gunshots. The soldiers who had captured the city walls cheered as they threw the corpses off the walls. They cheered loudly every time a corpse was thrown off. We really needed a victory. We needed a victory after being attacked by them to tell our soldiers that we couldn’t be defeated.
“My Marvel… Marvel…”
I finally paid attention to Ling Yue who was kneeling on the ground as if she was possessed. She hung her head down as she staggered over to Marvel’s head. He still had eyes still open. I sighed, and the White Deer King began to walk. I grabbed Ling Yue’s hair from behind. I had no pity for Ling Yue, who was heartbroken for my enemies. I dragged her over to one side.
