After the sounds of shouting and killing faded away, the sky over Hepa Town echoed with the sounds of battlefield cleanup.

If the previous internal conflict within the rebel army could still control casualties, the battle with the Demon Clan was completely unpredictable in terms of who might die next, especially before figuring out how to counter the physical traits of the Demon Clan, soldiers' lives in the rebel army were rapidly disappearing.

If not for the sudden help of the adventurers, the casualty numbers would probably have been much higher.

The current losses, in the eyes of the Wilderness Bishop and others, were considered to be fortunately small.

Soldiers wandered through the now calm battlefield, collecting bodies and picking up usable items. Silence was not an option during battlefield cleanup, as the land still harbored various hidden dangers, and people had to loudly shout to exchange information.

Everywhere you could see soldiers running to and fro in a hurry, and commanders like Hevi were incredibly busy at such times.

Compared to the busy rebel army, the atmosphere on the adventurers' side was noticeably more relaxed.

The rebel army had specifically allocated a spot for the adventurers who had helped significantly, as a temporary place to rest, though they were too busy with battlefield cleanup to inquire if they needed anything more.

"Should we... just stay here?"

Maru scratched her head in confusion and looked to the other adventurers for their opinions.

The other adventurers also showed strange expressions, their inner questions were exactly the same as Maru's.

Upon realizing they were in Scameroon, the country currently engaged in the fiercest warfare on the continent, many felt uneasy. If they hadn't just emerged from the Dungeon with no way to return, they would probably have rushed back into the Teleportation Gate.

And upon hearing that Hepa Town was under rebel control, the adventurers felt even more panicked.

Because the rebel army's public image wasn't as good as that of the Three Great Religions, and the rebel army's reputation was rather poor.

Were it not for the presence of some organizations like the Starfire Church, which significantly boosted the first impression scores among adventurer groups, Maru and the others might have been worried about their own safety.

However, for now, seeing as they had fought the Demon Clan together, and knowing that familiar faces like Fingerley were among the rebel army, they shouldn't turn against each other, right?

Although adventurers might be considered drifters to some extent, most of them still followed the law and order, and not many had interacted with the military.

"Let's just stay here for now," Leon habitually rubbed Maru's head and then turned to Drew, saying, "Do you want to help rescue people?"

While it's a bit inappropriate for non-rebels to do battlefield cleanup, helping to treat the wounded only requires some Healing Magic skills, and it could win some goodwill from the rebels, providing an extra layer of security.

"I'll go right now."

Drew nodded. He not only could use Healing Magic but also carried several related Magic Scrolls.

With him leading, other adventurers who didn't know what to do also followed. Their presence startled the soldiers in the infirmary, and only after thorough inquiries did they realize this large group was there to help, and they welcomed them gladly.

The ones who stayed put couldn't cast Healing Magic, so they were truly idle, opting instead to discuss their encounters in the Sain Dungeon while enjoying the scenery of Hepa Town.

"How about the Steel Giant Puppet?"

"Incredibly strong, I was worried we couldn't defeat it the first time I saw it."

"Haha, I used the strategy from the Skyrim Strategy Group, using Rust Monsters against it, and it worked surprisingly well. You should try it next time."

"Who got the Steel Giant Puppet's helmet and arm armor? I'm just missing those two to complete my set, willing to pay a high price."

"Speaking of which, I've heard there's a new area in the Sain Dungeon near Scameroon, right? Since we've finally opened up this route, why not establish a base here?"

"Aren't you afraid of war? It's risky; any base we build here could be destroyed by war, I'm concerned about the safety here."

Indeed, whenever and wherever adventurers talk about adventures, they become focused. Their discussions about Sain made it seem like this was the adventurer's guild.

Time passed, and Luluwo and Tamiberto came over to catch up, and in the evening, Fingerley also visited to check on his old friends.

The entire Hepa Town finished its cleanup, and the soldiers, exhausted, needed to rest, leaving the reconstruction to begin the next day.

"Normally, after repelling the Demon Clan, we'd celebrate with a banquet," Fingerley said to Leon and the adventurers with a helpless expression, "but unfortunately, we've encountered too many strange events today. No one is really in the mood for a banquet. However, the warehouse where we store supplies remains intact. Whatever you need, just let me know and I'll do my best to provide it."

"We understand." The adventurers were rather empathetic at this moment.

The rebel army prepared tents and other temporary materials for the adventurers, though not many of them ended up needing it.
