On a desolate, ruined land, a man staggered forward, dragging his battered body with great difficulty.

Beneath his feet lay countless corpses, and his shoes were soaked with sticky blood and torn flesh.

The brighter the light around him grew, the more blurred his vision became. His body wavered, as if ready to collapse at any moment.

Slowly, he raised his hand, spreading his fingers as though trying to grasp something ahead.

Suddenly, faint, ethereal figures began to appear before him, one after another.

They transitioned from blurry to clear, standing in front of him, their expressions filled with disappointment.

"Boy, you were supposed to save them."@@novelbin@@

"Captain, why didn’t you succeed? You used to be able to."

"Leon, you failed to protect Hefei. You promised me, but you didn’t keep your word."

As the voices fell, the figures disappeared one by one.

But the accusations directed at the man were far from over.

"My dear husband, we’ve lost. The fate of the Silver Dragon Clan should never have been entrusted to you."
