The Temple of Order suddenly fell into silence.
Sasaglot stared blankly at Tang En. After a moment, he scratched his head with his claws and looked at Tang En with a little confusion. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Why do you think I'm asking this?"
Tang En said angrily. "Abedon told me to move the city. He's worried that there will be an accident in the future and Ellington will be destroyed."
"Ellington … That city is good, very good. It's a pity to destroy it. Then you can move the city. If it's too troublesome, we can help."
Sasaglot changed the topic.
"Don't change the topic. I want to know the truth."
Tang En stared at Sasaglot, trying to see something from his face. Unfortunately, the Megalosaurus's face was too big, and its expression was quite subtle. He could not see anything at all.
"This is not something you should care about."
Sasaglot scratched his head again. "Just leave it to us."
"That's easy for you to say. I can't sleep if I don't know the truth!"
Tang En said angrily. "What secret is Abedon protecting for you? Or, what is under the Ambris Mountains? "
If he did not know, he might not have cared. But knowing a little about the situation but not knowing the truth, Tang En felt that his city was on a ticking time bomb. Who knew when it would explode? How could he really be at ease?
"This …"
"Don't tell me you think I can't help with my strength?"
"That's not it, but —"
"If that's the case, then tell me!"
Facing the aggressive Tang En who would not stop until he achieved his goal, Sasaglot scratched his ears and cheeks. After hesitating for a long time, he finally surrendered. "Okay, okay, then I'll tell you."
"That's right."
Tang En showed a victorious smile. "If there are any difficulties, we can fight side by side and solve the problem together."
"This problem isn't simple. It's a problem left behind by history."
After making the decision, Sasaglot decided to get straight to the point. "Do you know what bought precious time for the Prandal Coalition Army and laid the foundation for victory in the first war of Chaos?"
"Gods?"
Sasaglot shook his head. "The gods joined the battle very late."
"Wandering Swordsman Albion?"
"Albern made great contributions, but he was not the decisive factor."
In a flash of inspiration, Tang En blurted out, "Master Hohnheim — or rather, Master Hohnheim and the rest of them designed and built the army of golden Colossi!"
Only then did Sasa Gelot nod his head. "You're right. At the critical moment, it was the appearance of Hawking's Colossus Legion that bought the Allied Army time to breathe, greatly reducing the casualty rate of the Allied Army. This bought the Allied Army precious time to breathe and preserve their precious strength until the gods joined the battle."
"Although the later battle had exceeded the ability of the Prandal Coalition Army and became a battle beyond the norm, and the Colossi fell into a deep sleep due to overload, I have to say that it was the birth of the Colossi that laid the foundation for victory in the later stages."
The Dragons were long-lived species, observers of the world, and participated in the first war of Chaos. The history and records they knew must be the most authentic.
Tang En could not help but sigh. Although Rodrigues was later corrupted, he must have been a hero of Prandal before and after the first war of Chaos.
"You know the key to victory in the first war of Chaos, but …"
Sasaglot changed the topic and suddenly asked, "… Do you know what laid the foundation for victory in the second war of Chaos?"
"Aiguin and the others?"
Sasaglot shook his head. "Obviously not."
"Don't tell me it's the Serpent of Darkness …"
"Are you kidding me? That idiot named Jaesas is just a clown."
"Chaos religion?"
"No, according to Rodrigues, the Chaos religion had just been born at this time."
Sasaglot shook his head. "Don't make wild guesses. You can't know because this is a secret that only a small group of people know."
Tang En was stunned.
Because he really did not know.
The second war of Chaos ended only a little more than a hundred years ago. To be precise, it was 167 years ago. According to common sense, the closer the time, the more complete the preservation of the information should be. However, Prandal's records of the second war of Chaos were quite vague and scarce. There were even fewer records than the first war of Chaos. This was very illogical.
When chatting, Tang En did not deliberately ask Angus, Jean, and Aiguin. They rarely mentioned the second war of Chaos.
Tang En usually did not think much of it. After all, people had to look forward in life. There was no need to talk about what happened in the past every day.
But when Sasaglot said this, he suddenly felt very strange.
If Aiguin, Sharp Tooth, and Eibron did not talk about it, it was understandable. They were not that gossipy. However, Angus and Jean never talked about what happened at that time. This was a little strange.
Although the two of them pretended to be steady, they were actually very passionate. When the two of them were together, they would either quarrel or roll up their sleeves to fight and dig up each other's dark history.
However, even in that case, he had never heard them talk about the dark history that happened during the second invasion of Chaos, which was rather strange.
So far, the only thing Tang En knew about that time was that Selna had run away at the last minute, but this had nothing to do with what they were discussing now.
Tang En knew that he seemed to have touched on a secret that was deliberately hidden.
Sasaglot began to slowly talk about what happened back then.
"The second war of Chaos broke out in Year 631 of the Order Calendar, which was 167 years ago. The Gate of Chaos appeared from the southern coast, and a large number of Chaos creatures appeared from there. They began to advance from the south to the north. The first to suffer was the Ronitante Province at that time, which is now the Ronitante Kingdom.
"The Army of Chaos poured out endlessly. In just a week, the Ronitante Province was completely destroyed and approached the borders of the Irus Empire. At this time, the Prandal races suddenly realized that the second war of Chaos had arrived.
"631 years had passed. In the races of the short-lived races, the war had long been forgotten. The Prandal Coalition Army had also become a thing of the past. But danger came again, and they had no choice but to form another coalition army in a hurry to fight against the Army of Chaos. Even the Megalosaurus joined the battle again.
"However, after more than six hundred years of peace and stability, the long-lived races were still fine, but the humans were very weak because of the peaceful environment. So this time, the coalition army formed in a hurry was defeated. Soon, the Army of Chaos spread to the hinterland of the Irus Empire.
"In this war, Angus, Jean, Aiguin, Izali, Eibron, Razortooth, and even the bright-scaled Naga Queen Perdys shone brightly, making great contributions to the fight against Chaos. The dwarves' engineering machinery and the goblins' various weapons also played a huge role. Even some of the weaker races, such as the forest elves and kobolds, joined the war. This was a war that affected the entire Prandal … "
Sasaglot's voice was very heavy. Tang En seemed to see the extremely tragic war from his description. Countless people sacrificed in this war, countless strong people exhausted themselves to kill one more enemy and died on the battlefield. Even the Megalosaurus and elves sacrificed a lot. In the end, Angus and the others who survived were actually the lucky ones …
"Although the coalition army did their best to resist, the war situation was getting worse and worse. Now, the Irus Empire's territory has been completely conquered. The human coalition army continued to retreat north to the Solant Kingdom. So far, almost a third of the Prandal life has been lost …"
"Faced with the increasingly dangerous situation, the people suddenly found that they had nowhere to go."
"If they continued north, they would reach the Everfrozen Ice Plains. Humans simply couldn't survive there."
"If they continued west, they would either reach the desolate Howling Plateau or the barren Ryan Empire. The barren land couldn't support the remaining population …"
"They had nowhere to go. They had to hold their ground in the Solant Province. Even if they died here, they had to defend it to the death."
At this point, Sasaglot was silent for a moment. Tang En's heart was in his mouth. He knew that what happened next was the key. "And then?"
"Then, a person appeared. That person could definitely be called a genius of the age. He made a suggestion …"
Sasaglot sighed. "At the time, this suggestion might have seemed like a helpless choice, but I have to say that it was his suggestion that saved the entire Prandal … Although now it seems like a very bad and evil idea."
"What suggestion?"
"He said that since the soldiers of the coalition army died on the battlefield, they would only be corrupted by the creatures of Chaos in the end. Then, why don't we take the initiative to make use of these dead soldiers?"
Tang En was stunned. "Use the power of necromancers?"
Sasaglot said faintly, "If only that were the case …"
"It wasn't necromancy, but the power of alchemy. He took advantage of the fact that the dead soldiers were still breathing to refine them into a kind of crazy warrior that didn't know fatigue, wouldn't die, and wouldn't be afraid of the corruption of Chaos."
"Because they had abandoned their lives and rationality, the transformed warriors were no longer creatures of Order. The characteristics of the creatures of Chaos also lost their effect on them. The stronger they were before the transformation, the more powerful the transformed warriors would be, and the greater the threat to the creatures of Chaos. Especially those transformed Legendary champions …"
"Their birth finally allowed the coalition army to see a glimmer of hope for victory, and they certainly lived up to expectations. After entering the battle, they took on tremendous pressure and greatly reduced the casualties of the coalition army."
"However, it wasn't until the final victory that we realized that although we won, we also created an enemy that was no less dangerous than the creatures of Chaos. So, we had to pay a huge price to seal them — yes, seal. We were too weak at the time and didn't even have the ability to kill them."
"That genius is called Horus Hohnheim."
"He's a direct descendant of Rodrigues Hornheim."
"The warriors he created are called 'Wumianzhe'."
Sasaglot said in a low voice. "And Abedon is now guarding the 'Tomb of Wumianzhe' where they are sealed."
