This is how the war ended.
After Strange Phenomenon suddenly appeared and disappeared in the sky, the coalition forces of Feysac, Intis and Feynapotter were quickly defeated.
They had suppressed Loen Military and the church's Beyonder, allowing the army of ordinary officers and soldiers to advance the front to the outskirts of the city, where they could even see the neat buildings of Backlund West Borough and the towering Sodela Palace.
But as the sky originally suppressed the deep night, the exhausting orange-red dusk suddenly disappeared, and the night also receded strangely. After the normal sky appeared, the angels and saints of the coalition fled the battlefield one after another. Without their protection, ordinary soldiers were unable to resist the various powers of the high-sequence Extraordinaries in Loen's army, and unsurprisingly they collapsed and retreated.
This was a good time to pursue the victory, but Beyonder of Loen and the ordinary soldiers did not continue fighting because they were also confused and confused.
Only a few Angel from the military and church vaguely guessed something. On the one hand, it was because they had a corresponding understanding of the authority of the gods and understood what the Strange Phenomenon in the sky meant. On the other hand, they discovered that Angel and Saint of God of War Church were running the fastest and almost collapsed emotionally.
The meteorites that continue to fall in the sky give tangible evidence to these suspicions.
A ball of orange-red light flickered and fell from the sky. It happened to appear in the Feysac military camp in front of Audrey. The huge air wave and the knife-like touch made her, who had reached the limit of maintaining Incomplete Mythical Creature Form, couldn't help but take a few steps back.
But the "Silver Knight" who fought with her did not take this opportunity to attack her with Silver Rapier. Instead, he escaped through "Borrowing Light Concealment" as if he had suffered a severe psychological blow. Before leaving, he did not forget to take his arm that was severed by "Spirit Flesh Blade".
For Saint like him, a broken arm is not an irreparable injury. As long as the condition is stable and Beyonder or corresponding items with the ability to repair the body are found, the arm can be easily reattached.
Watching the tall figure disappear quickly, Audrey cautiously did not pursue it, but retreated quietly, returning to his human form. While using "Appease" to clear away the negative emotions accumulated in his consciousness after transforming into a dragon, to avoid losing control, he carefully arranged his clothes to prevent "Silver Knight" from returning to the battlefield.
Of course, if this happens, the "Calamity" and "Charm" she carries are enough to turn the tide of the battle.
However, I just relied on my own strength to gain the upper hand in the battle with Sequence 3 Beyonder... Audrey clenched his fists excitedly, and a sense of pride arose in his heart.
This emotion was quickly "pacified" and she regained her senses.
But after waiting for a long time, the broken-arm Silver Knight wearing the Feysac general's uniform did not appear again, and Audrey discovered that the "meteorite" that fell in the military camp and killed many soldiers was emitting a dangerous atmosphere, and it obviously belonged to a certain Saint is even a "relic" of Angel, but there is no Beyonder of Feysac trying to take it back. All Beyonder and ordinary soldiers of the coalition forces are desperately fleeing into the distance, as if they are experiencing a great rout.
Defeat... Thinking of the changes in the sky just now, Audrey realized something. She no longer stayed on the battlefield, but used Psychological Invisibility to retreat in the direction of Backlund, Pathway Loen Military, the last line of defense built by the church.
The faces of those soldiers and Beyonder did not show the joy of repelling the powerful enemy and saving their lives, but they were just at a loss.
Among them, Audrey discovered Mr. "Star" of Tarot Club. His hair was messy, his shirt was torn, and a few short black hairs on his face had not disappeared. It was obvious that Spirituality was on the verge of drying up and had just recovered from an almost out-of-control state.
After giving the other party a "comfort", Audrey and "Star" looked at each other in surprise, then looked away tacitly.
After walking through the messy streets and passing through the dull-faced and blank-eyed citizens who came out of the basement of the shelter, Audrey returned to his home and silently watched his parents, brother, housekeeper, and servants standing by the window, with expressions exactly the same as those of the citizens outside.
Saint Samuel Cathedral returned to North Borough in the shadows. Leonard appeared from the corner of Church Square. He glanced at the bell tower, which had a bumpy surface and seemed to have been attacked not long ago, and walked into the Great Prayer Hall.
This place was full of people taking refuge. Several Pastor and priests were calming their emotions. They didn't know that the war outside was over. Leonard did not disturb them. Instead, he returned to his underground office, locked the door, and used meditation to calm down the abnormality on his body, so that the short hair on his face, the sharp teeth and the weird bulge between his ribs and waist returned to normal, and then he asked softly:
"Old Man, is the war between gods over?"
As a host of "Marauder" Angel and a member of Tarot Club, he knows a lot more information than ordinary Saint and has some guesses about the war that just ended suddenly.
"It's time to decide the winner, and from the retreat of 'dusk' and the meteorites flying everywhere, it can be seen that the winner is the Goddess you believe in," Pales Zoroaster's old but energetic voice sounded in his mind, "Feysac's 'God of Combat' has fallen."
What, "God of Combat", one of the seven righteous gods, has fallen?
Leonard's eyes that became deeper due to his promotion to "Nightwatcher" froze, and after a moment he lowered his voice and asked:
"How is that possible? Even if 'God of Steam and Machinery' remains neutral, Loen will still have to face 'God of Combat', 'Earth Mother' and 'Eternal Blazing Sun', and it may be difficult for 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' who is far away from Lenburg to effectively support... This is what you said before."
Pallez chuckled lightly and replied:
"That's what I said, and judging from the abnormalities around Backlund, God of Combat and Earth Mother probably took action at the same time, and Lord of Storms may have been blocked by other God and failed to provide support.
"But why the ending is like this is not something that little Angel like me can know."
I always feel that after that Amon attack, Old Man seems to have let go of a lot of psychological baggage... Leonard suddenly had this thought in his mind, and asked instead:
"Then what should I do?"
"Heh," Pallez sneered and continued, "What can you do? Maybe your Mr. Fool can participate in things of this level, so you should take care of your own business... Amon's brother may have taken this opportunity to become God, but I don't know if Amon has tried to replace him... In this case, Evernight Goddess can win in the God War, which is also good for us, at least it can better protect you, a believer."
The trend of the times that King of Angel is looking forward to is the death of a certain God in the God War? And no matter whether God of Combat or Evernight Goddess wins in the end, it will satisfy His ritual... If Leonard realized something, he relaxed his whole body and ignored Pallez's ridicule.
There are indeed many things he should do, but now he just wants to go home and have a good rest.
It's a pity that Shermane has left Backlund and gone to the city deep in the Berserk Sea... Leonard mumbled, opened the door, and walked out.
"Dream City" Partis, Saint Angelica Church, a sermon has just ended.
Archbishop Trissy carefully arranged for several Storm believers who had experienced the sea not long ago and were saved by praying to Saint Angelica to tell their experiences. They successfully mobilized the emotions of other believers, making this sermon quite successful.
Seeing the believers reluctantly leaving the church, Trissy turned around with satisfaction and looked at the "Affliction" Demoness from Backlund in the corner of the Prayer Hall. He curled his lips, but still walked forward and asked softly:
"Shermane Miss, do you need my help?"
Just say no, otherwise I will definitely be of no help... Just as she added something in her mind, she heard Shermane say:
"I wonder how Backlund's battle situation is going... Is there any news from there recently?"
Ha, Demoness who is in love... Trissy sneered, and just as he was about to make a few sharp comments, there were rapid footsteps at the door of the Prayer Hall, and Helene, whose red hair looked like it was burnt at the end, walked quickly.
There is another Demoness. She was actually promoted from "Reaper" to "Despair" Demoness. I didn't expect that it was true that two Potion Pathway could jump to each other. If I had known it earlier... No, it would be useless to know... Trissy muttered, stepped forward and asked:
"What happened?"
She remembered that Beyonder, who controlled an entire fleet under Angelica Zaki, had gone to Bayam not long ago and should not be here.
Helene glanced at Shermane sitting in the corner and said:
"The war is over, Loen has won a great victory, the navies of Feysac and Intis have all evacuated the Rhoside Islands, and they have been re-integrated into The control of Loen and Church of Storms... I got the order from Miss Angelica and immediately organized a fleet to bring enough food to the east of the Sonia Sea. It was said that I was going to take back a group of new residents."
Trissy raised her eyebrows. This action made her exude the charm that belongs exclusively to Demoness, but it did not have much effect on Demoness, who was also Demigod:
"The war is over? Didn't you hit the suburbs of Backlund before? The city didn't suffer much damage, did it?"
You don't seem to be so indifferent to the situation, aren't you still thinking about that King Edessak II... Helene mocked this Archbishop in his heart, handed a telegram message to the other party, and then came to the statue of "Saint Angelica", bowed his head and prayed:
"...Miss Angelica, I have prepared the boat and food as instructed and can set off for the Sonia Sea at any time. I hope you can tell me the exact location so that we can arrive as soon as possible."
In his mind, he sent the path leading to God War Ruins to the east of the Sonia Sea and the way to safely pass through the ruins into the prayer light spot of Helene. Angel opened his eyes and happened to see a bright lightning flash across the dark sky.
Lightning illuminated the square below. City of Silver's first team heading to the outside world had gathered here, with a total of three hundred people.
They will be led by "Council of Six" alternate elder and "Unshadowed" Derrick Berg, passing through Afternoon Town and entering Giant King’s Court, passing through the already opened door and heading to the corresponding location in God War Ruins.
At that time, Helene's fleet will pick them up and send these three hundred "immigrants" to the island where Dream City is located.
That will be where New City of Silver is located.
Seeing the City of Silver residents who couldn't hide their excitement and were carrying large luggage, Angel breathed a sigh of satisfaction and left the room in the middle of the dome tower. He went down to the first floor and saw the "chief" Colin, elders Lovia and Klein dressed as Gehrman in the lobby.
In addition to them, there is also a middle-aged man who is more than 2.5 meters tall and has a dark cyan symbol tattooed on the top of his bald head. He is Waite Chirmont, a member of Council of Six. He was recently promoted to "Silver Knight". If Colin Iliad died in the previous exploration, he will continue to shoulder the important task of guarding and guiding City of Silver.
There are two Sequence 3, five Sequence 4, Mid Sequence Beyonder, more than a hundred people. Even in the outside world, they are a force that cannot be underestimated... Angel commented in his heart, and suddenly noticed that Lovia looked at him quietly, his expression and eyes were much friendlier than before.
On the one hand, I helped them open the door to Giant King’s Court. On the other hand, "True Creator" should also have given certain orders to Divine Revelation, such as not trying to deal with "Fool" believers anymore... If she understood something, she responded with a kind smile.
Angel made this guess because after she returned to the outside world through the underground altar of the abandoned giant village, she returned to "Forsaken Land of the Gods" from God War Ruins's extremely dangerous channel with different divine powers mixed together.
This ruin, which is said to easily lead to loss of control when Beyonder or above Demigod, did not have any impact on Angel this time, and the "True Creator" murmurs that filled the surrounding area were almost unheard.
This made her guess that after the evil god obtained "Blasphemy Slate", his condition might have improved and he was no longer as crazy as the rumors said. This return to rationality also caused some changes in the way his followers behaved.
Maybe Klein and I helped him open the Giant King’s Court door, solve the problem of the "Dark Angel" evil spirit, and help him take back "Blasphemy Slate", but we gained a little goodwill from this evil god... He wouldn't claim that I was his follower, right? Then I will become a believer of the three families... Angel muttered, looking away from Lovia who was melted by her smile and whose expression was a little dull, looked at Klein, and asked:
"How did the conversation go?"
"City of Silver agreed to accept the ancient remnants of Moon City. After leaving Forsaken Land of the Gods, they will build a new city as a whole. As for whether to settle near 'Dream City', it depends on the feedback of the first batch of immigrants. Moreover, they require that the two cities should be at least 50 kilometers apart, which is almost the limit size of the island."
Klein replied, although his expression still maintained the seriousness of Gehrman, the smile in his eyes could not be concealed.
Moon City and City of Silver's purpose of escaping from Forsaken Land of the Gods is about to be achieved, and his "Miracle Invoker" ceremony is coming to an end. This trip to Giant King’s Court can be said to be full of rewards.
In the past few days, he learned from the reports of Tarot Club members such as "Justice" and "Star" to Fool that the war in the outside world was about to end, and unexpectedly ended with the victory of the Loen Kingdom and Church of the Evernight Goddess.
You know, just a week ago, Backlund was still in a state of overwhelming military pressure. The situation was extremely dangerous. The nobles were secretly discussing surrender and conversion, and the civilians were trembling in the shelters. Even optimistic Klein did not believe that the war could be won.
Unexpectedly, after their trip to Giant King’s Court, the direction of the war would be completely different.
While the two were talking about Moon City, City of Silver's "chief" Colin came to them, saluted Angel and Klein respectively, and said:
"Thank you both for your previous help. As City of Silver's first immigration team is about to set off, it's time for me to fulfill my previous promise and tell you the secret that has been sealed for more than two thousand years."
The secret... is the part left in the introduction of "Gift of the Land" that Lovia mentioned when visiting two Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts... Angel nodded, looked at the expressions of the two elders Waite Chirmont and Lovia, and found that the former looked normal, while the latter was thoughtful.
It seems that even Lovia doesn't know this secret. Only Waite, who may inherit the qualification of "chief", knows?
As expected by Angel, Lovia asked:
"Do I need to avoid it?"
"No, this secret is no longer so important when we are about to leave Forsaken Land of the Gods. As a member of the discussion group, you should also know."
Colin said in a deep voice, glanced at the other elder Waite, and saw him nodding before continuing:
"This secret thing is related to City of Silver's God-level Sealed Artifact'Gift of the Land'... Its biggest function is to allow the growth of Black-Faced Grass that are adapted to the dark environment, edible and pollution-free within a certain range. This is the basis for City of Silver to thrive for more than 2,500 years without completely sinking..."
Angel and Klein both nodded slightly to express their understanding.
Especially compared with the tragic experience of Moon City residents who had no choice but to eat monsters in the dark because they could not grow food, resulting in body deformities and easy loss of control, City of Silver with this kind of Black-Faced Grass spawned by the power of "Barren Matriarch" is even more Luck.
"... However, precisely because of its existence, the residents of City of Silver have been burdened with the fate of being cursed. People within 50 kilometers of 'Gift of the Land' will turn into terrible evil spirits after death. People who have eaten Black-Faced Grass within 300 kilometers will have permanent peace unless they die from the murder of their immediate family members."
Having said this, Colin paused for a moment, wondering if he thought of a certain immediate family member who was killed by his own hands.
No, there will definitely be. According to what "Sun" Derrick said, in order to allow everyone to have multiple immediate relatives for "use" at any time, City of Silver will appropriately interfere with marriage and childbirth. The situation of "Chief" who has lived for hundreds of years will definitely I have experienced life and death many times... No wonder they want to build New City of Silver 50 kilometers away from the existing city... Angel thought, his eyes swept over the faces of the other two City of Silver residents, and saw the same confusion and nostalgia.
Suddenly, Lovia asked:
"So the last time the war dead who was far away from City of Silver didn't turn into an evil spirit, was it because the distance was too far? The curse is not on our blood, but on City of Silver itself?"
"Yes, you accidentally touched the truth, but I didn't tell you this at the time because City of Silver had to rely on Black-Faced Grass to survive, and 'Gift of the Land' has such a wide coverage that most dying people cannot take advantage of this feature."
Colin replied in an erratic voice.
Lovia was silent for a moment, and his light gray eyes moved around the chief, Waite, Angel and Klein, and finally sighed and said:
"At least they won't have to face this kind of thing in the future."
After leaving Forsaken Land of the Gods, there is no need to rely on "Gift of the Land" and the Black-Faced Grass it creates.
That is both a gift and a curse.
The two "Silver Knight" nodded in unison, with expressions of admiration on their faces.
After a while, Colin continued:
"This is the main secret of 'Gift of the Land', and the other thing is something I only thought of after learning a little bit about the outside world from Mr. Gehrman."
Angel was a little surprised. She originally thought that the truth of "Kinslaying Curse" was City of Silver's last secret.
Klein, whose name was called by him, also seemed to be listening attentively.
Colin lowered his voice and said in an almost inaudible tone:
"According to what you said, there are seven 'righteous gods' in the outside world, and one of them is one of the members of 'Rose Redemption', Earth Mother Omebella.
"But the former 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella has long since died, and his corpse is in City of Silver, transformed into 'Gift of the Land'."
Huh?
Angel's expression changed uncontrollably. Although Klein beside her remained serious, his pupils suddenly dilated.
Both of them thought of one thing:
Giant Queen, "God of Combat" Bardhiel's mother Omebella died in City of Silver, became the gift Black-Faced Grass, Sealed Artifact who imposed "Kinslaying Curse", then who is "Earth Mother" now?
