Chapter 449: The End of the Holy War
Chapter 449: The End of the Holy War
"Are you ok?"
Ian helped Lilith put the slate back in place, and looked at Lilith who was still distracted with a worried look on his face. "Don't be sad, Lilith."
"Ah? I'm fine, just thinking about something." Lilith came back to her senses and smiled at her partner.
"What are you thinking about?" Ian lifted up a larger slate again and tried to push it back into the gap.
"Well, a lot..." Lilith couldn't help but wrinkle her nose as she spoke, as if she was stuck in a difficult problem. "According to the previous record, the Holy War Alliance should have completely collapsed after the Elf King was killed. It is very likely that the elf teachers of Goletia also began to leave during this period. However, it still doesn't make sense... Are the elves so good-tempered?"
"What?" Ian looked confused.
"war."
Lilith's hand slid across the rows of rough stone shelves, selecting the next stone slab. "There is no war. The king of the elves was killed by Zora, and the alliance no longer exists. Why not take revenge for such a grudge? Why not go to war?"
Because she stole, uh, hundreds of millions of swords from Shadowlock, those elves chased her all the way from the southern border to Gloatia. No matter how you look at it, they were petty-minded. Why did they let go of the hatred that hurt the feelings of the two races?
The black-haired boy beside him also fell into thought after hearing this, and then guessed, "Maybe the problem lies with the Elf Forest? They suddenly lost their ruler, maybe they encountered civil unrest, and they have no time to take care of more?"
"Or maybe... they made some kind of oath when they formed an alliance, that the different races should not go to war with each other?" Jaina passed by the two of them and joined the conversation.
"Then this contract should have a time limit, because according to the 'Brief History of Gaia', in order to liberate the orcs who were enslaved by humans, the elves made a comeback and killed many of the old human nobles and slave owners." Lilith pinched her chin in distress.
"Or maybe it's because they can't get their revenge?" Catherine, who was sitting on the ground, looked up and reminded, "Don't forget, the Elf King and the Human King died in the same year."
"Oh, that's right!" Lilith actually forgot about this. She had clearly heard it at the time. She patted her forehead and said, "That seems to make sense. We can even combine them together. The elves were originally bound by the covenant, but after the covenant expired, the one who wanted revenge had passed away."
"I have to go and see if there is a stone tablet that records the covenant!" Jaina turned around quickly, her skirt fluttering in the wind.
The events of a thousand years ago were too far away, and not everyone was interested in history. After the initial novelty, most of the guardians had gathered together to chat. Lilith looked at the princess she had just spoken to, wondering if it was because the deeds of Zora recorded by the dwarves were too subversive that made this princess stay away from the crowd. She looked at the princess sitting under the stone shelf with her head down, sighed, and walked over.
"You--" The hot temperature warmed half of Catherine's body. The heat from Lilith's body could be seen even through the cotton clothes. She squeezed close to Catherine and spoke softly and cautiously.
"Don't comfort me, Lilith. You've already said that what happened a thousand years ago has nothing to do with me. I don't think too much about it, and I don't feel any guilt." Catherine saw through Lilith's thoughts and told her that she was worrying too much. She forced a smile at Lilith and said, "I'm even happy."
Even the Human King can make mistakes, so she has nothing to fear, Catherine thought.
"Hey, that's good!" Lilith breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed her head over. "What have you been looking at?"
Catherine's eyes dimmed. She didn't really care about the conflicts among the races thousands of years ago. In any case, they were all things of the past. While everyone was busy looking for interesting anecdotes in history, all she had been looking at was -
"Void beast." Catherine said in a low voice.
"Didn't you find any useful information?" Lilith couldn't help but lean over to take a look.
Catherine finally couldn't help but sigh, her slender neck revealing a bit of fragility, "Well, they are different..."
This is why she is always frowning.
"The Holy War: Final Chapter"
The White Dragon sent a good news, the god finally crushed the Void Will! Victory is at hand!
The coalition forces forced the ownerless remnants of the Void Beasts to the Corrupted Coast of the East. The decisive battle on the coast lasted for seventeen days and nights. The dwarven dragon steel crossbows set up thousands of "Star Crusher" heavy crossbows on the top of the cliff. The Frost Titans froze the sea surface to create a foothold. The Night Demon Twins manipulated the shadow curtain to block the Void Beasts' positional perception. The Orc Heavy Armored Corps took up their shields and advanced forward. The human mages provided cover from behind, and the front line moved forward nearly four hundred meters every day.
On the seventh day, the battle line fluctuated. The Void Beast attempted to counterattack. The Gemini detonated several shadow spires, overlapping the Shadow Realm with the real world. The Void Beast was trapped in the gap between the real and the virtual, and its ability to recover was greatly weakened.
On the fifteenth day, the stocks of dragon steel weapons were running low. Oscar, the king of the orcs, threw away his rolled-blade battle axe and led his people to continue to advance with steel fangs and sharp teeth as weapons. The Mage Corps used water as a medium to create the largest magic circle during the war, which consumed 60% of the remaining magic stones of the alliance in one day. Seven great magicians died due to exhaustion of magic power.
At dawn on the seventeenth day, cyan-gold divine patterns emerged from the sea. The gigantic body of the god rose with the morning sun, blocking out the sky. A trident with a dazzling divine light stretched out from under the coral armor. The sea god stirred the sea water, creating a whirlpool of return, dragging the last hundreds of thousands of void beasts into the underwater purgatory.
The Human King's tactics succeeded! We won!
Seeing this, Lilith couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look at Catherine.
"Lariel once asked me why we didn't use water magic to fight the void beasts. He thought that was the void beasts' weakness." Catherine felt Lilith's gaze and said softly, "I thought he was talking nonsense, but now it seems that at least a thousand years ago, the void beasts could not survive in the water, so they set the final battle on the east coast, tried their best to drive the void beasts into the sea, and the sea god came to the end and ended the war."
But now, the void beast has grown gills and a tail, and has made a comeback from the sea...
The tactical experience from thousands of years ago could no longer be replicated, and Lilith showed the same sad expression as Catherine.
"... Let's wait and see." Lilith straightened her back again, trying to cheer herself up, and smiled at Catherine, "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way. We will always find a way. Moreover, we have to figure out why the tactics formulated by the Human King failed."
The tribes in the alliance did everything they could to drive the void beasts into the trench. They seemed to have full trust in their allies, whether it was Zora or the mermaids. But now the result shows that they have failed. There must be something wrong...
"Will gods betray too?" Catherine suddenly asked.
Lilith's eyes widened. "You mean the sea—"
"Bam—!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the loud noise scared everyone.
"It's time!" Brownbeard, who had left, reappeared and shouted, "I have fulfilled my promise. Now, leave quickly!"
