821 deaths

As the sound of the explosion faded, Sergei and his team hurried to the base of the mine, unaware of the true situation of the battle there.

Sergei felt something was off as he could not see a single figure; it seemed that the people on the perimeter were indeed Langya's main force.

Originally intending to have everyone chase and kill the retreating Langya, he found that his weary brothers were intimidated by him, and their chances of winning a direct confrontation were low.

The Blacksmith commented that Sergei was getting ahead of himself, having lost the advantage of firearms, the brothers dared not engage closely with Langya's men.

Sergei calmed down and understood this unchangeable fact; they were able to defeat Langya thanks largely to the Bronze Cannon, which directly crushed their confidence.

In a skilled duel, both Sergei and Langya did not want to increase their losses, making cutting losses in time the wise choice.
