Half a day later, the horrific war finally drew to a close.
All the warriors of the demon race had either perished or simply surrendered and ran away. As a result, there were no longer any
traces of the demon race anywhere near the Trinary Star City.
Allin all, out of the one hundred thousand demon warriors at the start of the war, only a little more than forty thousand were able
to escape unharmed.
That meant the demon army had a mass of casualties — more than half of their army, for that matter.
As the war finally drew to an end, Austin quietly recalled the demonic avatar and put it back into his body.
Meanwhile, all of the other human warriors in the Trinary Star City had their eyes on Austin.
At that point, there were still about fifty thousand human warriors left.
Originally, around one hundred thousand human warriors had been stationed in the Trinary Star City. After the cruel war, about half
of the army did not survive.
More than that, there were also a small number of human warriors who chose to be deserters throughout the course of the war.
Nevertheless, at that moment, more than fifty thousand pairs of eyes were fixed on Austin.
Suddenly, an old man in yellow stood up.
"Sir, we were able to win the war all because of you.
You saved all of us. If it weren't for you, we would have been killed by the demon army.
| cannot tell you how thankful I am!"
This old man's cultivation base was in the preliminary stage of Semi-holy Realm. Thus, he was strong enough to be considered
equal to the queen.
"Hah-hah, one of the main reasons why we were able to win the war was the solidarity among all of the warriors.
| just did what | had to do,"
Austin said with a smile.
"Sir, since Colin escaped during the war, the garrison of the Trinary Star City is now in need of a new leader. If the garrison is left
without a leader, we will be left with weak defenses if the demon army ever decides to cagain.
So, | have an idea.
Please take the role of the commander of the garrison of the Trinary Star City and lead us in any fight we may have against the
demon race,"
the old man in yellow suddenly said to Austin.
"What? Me?"
Austin was surprised.
"Gentlemen, | wonder what you think of my proposal.”

The old man in yellow glanced at the rest of the human warriors as he waited for a response.
"Sir, please be our commander and lead us in fights against the demon race!"
More than fifty thousand human warriors shouted in unison.
The sonorous sound echoed all throughout heaven and earth.
At that point, all of the human warriors had been surrounded by the demon army and had to choose between surrendering and
being killed.
But at the most critical moment, it was Austin who was able to turn the whole situation around and tip the balance in favor of the
human army.
For this exact reason, it was quite clear to all of the people there that their lives had been saved by Austin.
Moreover, Austin's performance also made them appreciate him a lot.
In terms of boldness, Austin had been brave enough to face tens of thousands of demon race on his own. Because of this, he was
able to give the human warriors the courage to stand their ground against the demon race.
On the other hand, in terms of strength, these human warriors were all well aware of the fact that the mysterious demon with
terrible power was being controlled by Austin.
Because of that strength of his, even the five strongest demon saints of the demon army were caught. They were so amazed that
they all scrambled to find the right words to say to Austin in gratitude.
At that moment, everyone felt that as long as this young man served as their commander, they would not be fearful of facing
demons in the future.
"Well... To be honest, I'm afraid | will not be up to the position because of my limited abilities."
In hindsight, Austin had no desire to lead tens of thousands of warriors. More than the fact that he had never had such an
experience, he also did not have much interest in the position.
After all, up until that point, Austin had always been used to being free.
More than that, Austin knew that if he accepted the post, he would have a lot of troubles to worry about in the future.
"Sir, if the Trinary Star City is left without a commander, the troops will beca dish of loose sand.
Now that everyone supports you, please don't say no.
Gentlemen, cand see our new commander!"
Because the old man in yellow did not want to give Austin the opportunity to refuse, he suddenly fell to the ground on one of his
knees and saluted Austin.
"Your honor, commander!"
all the warriors chorused as they fell to the ground on one of their knees.
"Oh... Okay.
Thanks for your appreciation. I'll do it for the tbeing."
Austin had no choice but to accept it.
"All right, let's clean up the battlefield first. After we're done with that, we shall take stto rest and recuperate,"
Austin said loudly.
"Yes, sir!"
More than fifty thousand human warriors chorused. At Austin's command, they all scattered to clean up the battlefield.
After such a big war, corpses were scattered everywhere. At the stime, the buildings in the Trinary Star City also suffered
sserious damage.
Meanwhile, Austin returned to the castellan's house in the Trinary Star City with the old man in yellow leading his way.
As Austin talked to the old man in yellow, he learned that the old man, whose nwas Clark Wu, was an independent cultivator
who had not joined any sects.
At the time, Clark was a recluse who had been cultivating alone.
Not long ago, he cto join the Southern Alliances Army after the demon race invaded the PrMartial World.
Afterwards, Austin asked Clark to assemble everyone whose cultivation base was at the Primal Holy Realm or higher at the
castellan's house.
In the PrMartial World, only the cultivators at the Primal Holy Realm or above deserved to be regarded as the true strong
masters.
Thus, Austin planned to let these people manage the army in the Trinary Star City.
After a while, all of the warriors at the Primal Holy Realm or above finally arrived at the castellan's house.
When Austin saw them, he squeezed out a bitter smile.
Apparently, at the time, there were only less than ten people who were at the Primal Holy Realm or above in the Trinary Star City!
Out of all of them, only two were at the Semi-holy Realm. One of them was Clark, who was at the medium stage of Semi-holy
Realm.
The other one was a middle-aged man of great stature named Brandon Luo who was at the preliminary stage of Semi-holy Realm.
Like Clark, he was an independent cultivator as well.
Of the seven people at the Primal Holy Realm, two had reached the premium stage, three had reached the medium stage, and two
had reached the preliminary stage.
The core team Austin had assembled only had two people at the Semi-holy Realm and seven at the Primal Holy Realm. Their
strength was too weak!
Seeing Austin's expression, Clark immediately understood his thoughts.
"Commander, the strength of the Trinary Star City is indeed very weak now.
Before the war, there were more than forty people who were at the Primal Holy Realm or higher.

Unfortunately, over the course of the battle with the demon race, about half of us died.
And out of the remaining ones, sescaped during the war while sleft quietly once the war had passed.
Given all that, there are only nine left now,"
Clark said.
"Oh, did speople at the Primal Holy Realm or above leave quietly after the war?"
Austin thought about it for a while. Obviously, these people who left after the ward had ended were not happy that he had been
tasked with the role of the commander.
"That's right.
The two elders at the Primal Holy Realm, who were from the Thunder Sect of the Elite Holy Kingdom, and the elders from several
other big sects secretly left with their disciples after the war,"
Clark said.
Austin immediately got the point. The people from these sects hated him. Thus, when he took on the role of the commander of the
Trinary Star City, they naturally chose to leave.
Finally accepting the situation he was now in, Austin then let Clark and Brandon serve as vice commanders in charge of the affairs
of the Trinary Star City.
The seven people at the Primal Holy Realm were also bestowed specific positions on to assist the two vice commanders in the
management of the Trinary Star City.
Aside from the fact that Austin had little interest in his position, he also had very little experience in regards to marching, fighting,
and managing an army. Thus, as soon as he becthe commander, he assigned most of the responsibilities to others.
Afterwards, Austin then let the members of the Heaven Pavilion Sect and the evil shadow race get out of the City model.
There were more than eight thousand people in total.
Then, Austin asked Clark to place these people in the garrison of the Trinary Star City.
After a short discussion, Clark and Brandon left with the seven people at the Primal Holy Realm to carry out their own duties.
After such a big war, there were many things to deal with, such as cleaning up the battlefield, stabilizing the morale of the army,
and so on.
Meanwhile, Austin and the queen flew directly above the Trinary Star City and saw that everything had already been put in perfect
order again.
Upon seeing everyone keeping themselves busy with their own things, Austin felt a little relieved.
Then, at that moment, Austin suddenly felt something strange and stared off into the distance.
As he looked on, he saw dozens of figures galloping from the horizon.
"Oh, it's him?
How dare he cback to the Trinary Star City?"
When Austin sensed who the figure at the head of the line was, he was surprised.
