Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 705 Waking up (2)

In the aftermath of long wars during times like that, humans would have to face a multitude of challenges that affected various aspects of daily life. Prolonged conflicts often led to economic devastation. The destruction of infrastructure, pillaging of villages, and disruption of trade routes resulted in economic downturns.@@@@

The loss of skilled labor and productive resources added to the economic hardships. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire

Wars claime countless lives, leading to a significant decline in population. The loss of a large workforce meant fewer people available for essential tasks, such as farming and other economic activities.

Overcrowded and unsanitary conditions in wartime encampments and cities facilitated the spread of diseases. Outbreaks of plagues and other illnesses can take a heavy toll on both soldiers and civilians. Cities, towns, and infrastructure can suffer extensive damage during wars.

Rebuilding efforts can be slow even with magic, and the financial strain on communities would slow the restoration of vital structures such as bridges, roads, and buildings.

In the end, Terra and Seara decided to sleep in the afternoon and hoped that Rain would be up when he woke up... unfortunately, he didn't wake up. He was sleeping so deeply that he wasn't making any noise or moving. His health, mana, and stamina were completely full, and yet... There were no signs of him waking up.

"What now?" Seara asked. "His spirit must have taken a heavy toll while using the shield... he also got a lot of power from it while using a lot of mana... he might not wake up before the next battle."

"He will probably wake up in the middle of it... he is that kind of guy," Terra said while looking through the window and seeing countless sources of fire illuminating the city. "The vows will force him to wake up if anything... he will recover after that in one way or the other.

I am more worried about the fact that he will push himself hard again to make up for the raging Phoenix since they need their commander now to raise their morale. We survived that battle, but their spirits are a bit down."

"... I think I know a few things that can make him wake up instantly, but I might regret that," Seara said while rubbing her eyes.

"One day and one night," Terra replied after she crossed her arms.

Terra and Seara shared with Rain the latest updates on the aftermath of the battle and the current status of the other groups engaged in slowing down the dragons' advance. While Rain felt a sense of relief upon learning that his friends and family were unharmed, the overall situation seemed to be growing increasingly complex with each passing moment.

The challenges ahead weighed on Rain's mind as he processed the unfolding events and considered the next steps in their ongoing struggle against the dragons.

"Hmm, I feel so heavy... and my legs are stiff," Rain said while stretching his body. "I guess I suffered enough damage on my own legs to make up for the hits that the leviathan dragons caused. Anyway, I will talk with the troops a bit to reassure them and then I will return soon. If things weren't so bloody and smelly outside, I would take the kids too."

"We will deal with the supplies here and then make them move to the walls on both sides," Terra declared.

"I will leave it to you," Rain said and then left the castle in a hurry.

Before Rain could even cross the gate of the castle, he tripped a bunch of times since his legs weren't obeying him... it seemed that they turned a bit rebellious since he abused them so much.

"Threesome... threesome... threesome," Rain thought while he recalled the voices that he heard before waking up. "I have been hearing too many voices lately... still, it is weird for me to have something like a wet dream in a situation like this. I shouldn't tell them this, otherwise, they will get really mad... but if it wasn't a dream... Nah, they wouldn't say that.

Those are just my delusions playing mind games with me..."

As one would expect, Rain's wives knew him well... to the point that they felt troubled. Still, a wise man once said: it doesn't matter who you are, if you are a guy, you have to be horny all the time.
