If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again
The Casualties of the battles fought during the undead crisis were wrought with casualties that numbered in the thousands.
No one knew just how many died as a lot of corpses had been completely destroyed, with most of them being blown to bits by Methik's explosions, or incinerated by the liches and Undead Mages.
Of course, the ones who were turned into undead should not be forgotten.
The Coalition force had many deaths, and a good number of the deceased had left behind friends and family.
Friends and Family who were undoubtedly distraught at the news of their loved ones' deaths.
To them, the Undead Crisis being resolved was not a thing of joy.
They could not care less about the millions that had been saved, as depending on the person, all those millions of lives did not mean as much to them as the ones whom they had lost forever.
And after the casualties' approximate numbers had been confirmed, a mass burial was held on in Cheverton.
Much to the shock of many, the entirety of the Hayes Royal family was in attendance, as well as many other prominent nobles and high-ranked officials.
People, most especially journalists, also took this as a chance to get a glimpse of the MVPs whose names had been praised over and over by the coalition force's combatants, especially Evan.
A short speech was given by the Emperor, before a large monument with as many names of the deceased they could acquire inscribed on it, to be immortalized as 'heroes' who saved the lives of millions.
The High Priest of the Church of Artemisia from the Holy Kingdom was also in attendance, and he prayed for the souls of the deceased, a prayer which Artemisia herself decided to 'answer'.
Voices of marvel were let out as those in attendance all saw the thousands of golden light streams that ascended to the skies after the High Priest's prayer, and from the slight expression of shock on the High Priest's face that the Magic Projector caught, it could be seen that even he did not expect things to escalate to that scale.
Moving on, the 30th of April was even declared a 'Remembrance Day' for those who perished during the Undead Crisis, becoming a National Holiday of the Great Western Empire.
On a side note, Therapists, psychiatrists and other mental health-related professions saw an increase in patronizations and profits due to the soldiers and adventurers who got PTSD.
Now then, although the Burial of the dead and other related matters like the support for their families was important, so was celebrating the survivors, especially those who had achieved great feats and risen to prominence.
Adventurers who had killed so many undead that their strength jumped multiple levels in a short time.
C rankers became B rank, Peak B rankers became A rankers, some A rankers broke through to the S rank level, and Peak S rankers also went on to become SS Rank.
The majority of the new A and S rank adventurers, as well as a few of the new B ranks, were those that had achieved great feats that could not go unrewarded.
Such was the case for the mercenary side of things.
The majority of the rewards for these groups were monetary rewards, and for a while, the Empire was going to see an extra 5% tax increase.
Then there were the soldiers of the army, and their commanding officers, the majority of which were guaranteed a rank increment, medal awardments, and other decorations.
The Knights of the Cheverton were also going to get their own share of rewards, both on the monetary side of things and the aristocratic side too.
Due to the time that it took to prepare for the Mass burial, as well as the other relevant matters involved, it was not until the 18th of May that the Burial could be held.
And for the Celebratory events, those took even longer to prepare due to the sheer number of attendees and awardees, with the 5th of June finally being the date it was held on.
This was quite short notice, but despite that, the Great Western Empire did not skimp out on preparations.
Security was at its maximum due to the number of foreign dignitaries who were participating, with a few national leaders also in attendance.
Representatives from Kasteblum, Hobha, Uswil, the Elven Kingdom, the Desert Country of Tarse and other nearby Alpha continental Countries were also present for the main official celebration.
