The Depps Grand Canyon was now shrouded in a layer of black crows and vultures. Under the dusk, the canyon seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray fog, making it difficult to see what was going on.
As the smoke and dust filled the air, countless scavengers were chewing on the layers of corpses in the undulating gorge. There were layers upon layers of black evil birds circling in the sky, letting out a continuous stream of horrifying and strange cries.
Human corpses were strewn everywhere, while the flag of the Kingdom of Crete was dyed blood red. The flags of various noble families were scattered on the ground, buried along with their owners and their knights.
At this time, Frank and his disciple Edward, who had just arrived, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw this shocking scene. The war between the Humans and the Beastmen was tragic, and the number of deaths caused them to tremble in fear. The number of people who had died in wars over the past hundred years couldn't even compare to the total number of people who had died in the Urabell Province and the Depps Grand Canyon.
As soon as they had heard about the war, they had rushed over to see the power of the divine artifact. However, they hadn't expected that they would be too late. The Crete Empire had been defeated too quickly, and no one had expected that the mighty Crete Empire would be so vulnerable in front of the orc Holy Seville Empire.
Edward stood at the entrance of the canyon and looked at the mountains of corpses, as well as the numerous vultures and animals that had been attracted by the corpses. He kept looking around, his eyes dull.
"How many people have died here?"
Frank frowned as he looked at the mountains of corpses being eaten. He sighed and said, "The Crete Empire is finished. The 300,000-strong coalition has been besieged by Lion King Will for several days. Except for Earl Tito, who led a few cavalry units and escaped, the entire elite army of the Crete Empire was almost wiped out."
"The Crete Empire is no longer able to resist the army of the Holy Seville Empire. The largest empire of mankind, the richest and most powerful political center, and the capital of culture, has been destroyed in this war."
Porl Kelermo rode his horse through the Grand Canyon and watched as the young soldiers, who had come to fight for the so-called glory and justice of the upper nobles, were all turned into rotten meat that emitted a foul smell.
At the center of the battlefield, there was a fan-shaped mark that was hundreds of meters long. Everything on the ground had been erased, and a thick layer of the ground had been scraped off. This immediately attracted Borl and Edward's attention. Borl immediately dismounted and looked at the mark.
"The Divine Weapon, Sword of the King? Just what kind of existence is God? "Borl muttered to himself as he carefully observed the traces left behind by the divine artifact.
It was easy to imagine how shocking that attack had been. When the two armies had clashed, a sword of white light had descended from the sky and pierced through the entire army, wiping out the vanguard of the Knights. And this was not even the main ability of the divine weapon. Borl had also heard some rumors that divine weapons had the ability to connect to the God's Kingdom and borrow the power of the God.
Edward followed behind his teacher, but he couldn't help but think of the meteor that Great Sage Anthony had summoned. That was truly a power that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth, as if it was the end of the world.
"There is nothing else to see. Let's go to Nia!" Borl pulled the reins and turned his horse around.
Edward immediately asked, "Should we go and warn Nia to evacuate?"
Borl shook his head. He had already known about the situation through the badge and the wind raven. "No, they have already received the news. At this moment, the news of the coalition's defeat has already reached the capital, the Diocese of Light, and even Pope Hodap. The army of the Holy Seville Empire is already heading towards Nia. They want to completely destroy the Crete Empire and occupy the most fertile land in the central province of the Alen Continent.
Pope Hodap has already issued a decree announcing that the entire Kingdom of Light will send troops to help the Crete Empire. Even the Saintess, who holds the divine artifact, will leave St. Sarl City. "
"All the monarchs will send troops. Rooney, the Dragon Rider of the Kingdom of Rosa d 'Oro, has already led the army of the Kingdom of Rosa d' Oro through the Moore Province and directly into the kingdom of the Church of Light. In a few days, the coalition army will directly enter the Crete Empire and head for Nia."
Edward couldn't believe it. These two names were like legends and myths in the ears of people of his generation. "Dragon Rider King Rooney? Saintess Kelly, who never leaves St. Sarl City, is also coming? "
Just hearing these names made Edward feel as if an epic and mythical war was taking place in front of him. At this moment, he realized that this was no longer a war between the Holy Seville Empire and the Crete Empire, but a war between humans and orcs.
Edward calculated that the Holy Seville army had only departed from here yesterday. If they wanted to reach Nia in the south, they would have to cross several provinces. The territory of the Crete Empire was vast, and Nia was located in the warm south. Since the Holy Seville Empire was deep in the Crete Empire, their logistical line would be stretched too far, and they wouldn't dare to march too quickly.
If the Holy Seville Empire conquered Nia, the entire Crete Empire would change hands, and the power of the orcs would expand wildly.
The situation between humans and orcs would definitely be reversed.
Such a powerful orc empire was something that no human wanted to see. It was no wonder that the various countries had taken the initiative to send their troops. In any case, the Crete Empire could not be taken over by the Holy Seville Empire. This war would most likely determine the fate of the orcs and humans on the Alen Continent.
Both the Holy Seville Empire and the human allied forces had mobilized their most powerful forces. The Holy Seville Empire wanted to take revenge by marching into the Crete Empire of Nia. They wanted to make Emperor Zolman II of Crete, Tembor, and Earl Tito, who had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of orcs, pay the price. At the same time, they would occupy the entire Crete Empire.
As long as the entire Crete Empire was swallowed up, the Holy Seville Empire would be able to rush out of the cold and barren north and double its territory. It would then occupy an unimaginably vast and frightening orc empire on the Alen Continent. The Holy Seville Empire would then have a large and rich land in the central province. It would establish itself as the true emperor of the continent, which would then become a nightmare for all humans.
At the same time, this was also a battle of faith between the Church of Light and the Faith of the Sun. More than 20 years ago, the Church of Light had declared the Faith of the Sun to be a false religion that had stolen the glory of the gods.
The Church of Light and the human coalition forces wanted to stop this from happening. They wanted to expel the Holy Seville Empire and the Faith of the Sun back to the north and destroy the orc empire's ambitions and crazy expansion. If they could not stop this, the entire human world would fall into a never-ending war.
Frank and Edward's faces became very serious at this moment. They rode their horses and followed the Holy Seville Empire's marching route all the way.
