What should they do next after the life-and-death battle? Of course, they should lie down, gasp for breath, and lick their wounds quietly.
Before the outbreak of the war, everyone was always optimistic. No one had expected that the Orcs, who had been fighting with their backs to the wall, would release such a powerful fighting force. As a race on the continent, they must have their own hidden heritage. This was also a lesson, a lesson that should be firmly remembered.
The casualties of the allied forces could be described as tragic. The Knight Regiment of the Holy Crown City was almost completely annihilated, and their banners could be canceled. The casualties of the First Swordsman Regiment and the Second Swordsman Regiment were nearly half. Should they merge into one regiment? The casualties of the Riptide Regiment and the Mountain Regiment were also not low. Only the Magic Regiment was in a better situation, with few casualties. The magicians always hid in the rear to release magic, and all the dangers were shouldered by the soldiers. The Elves also paid a certain price, but compared with the army of the Holy Crown City, it was not worth mentioning.
The Phoenix Regiment of the Capital of Elements had more than one hundred magicians killed. This number seemed insignificant, but all of them were warlocks and great magicians. In a sense, Solomon's loss was far greater than that of Han Jin '. Tobias and Spencer seemed to be in a normal mood. One reason was that they didn't want to affect Han Jin's mood. Another reason was that after decades of development, the Capital of Elements had established a very complete system. After returning to the Capital of Elements, they could immediately receive reinforcements from the following echelons. What's more, how could there be no casualties in a war? Both of them had been on the battlefield for a long time, so they were very clear about this aspect.
After a short rest, Lang Ning led the Riptide Regiment and rushed into Beitman City. In fact, he also knew that the Orcs would not leave him anything good, but he just wanted to verify it. Sure enough, Beitman City had become an empty city. Not to mention people, even chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs could not be found.
In this area, the Beitman had always maintained a neutral position and had not been attacked by wars. Its wealth and population density were second only to that of the Holy Crown City. When the allied forces of the Beitman were completely annihilated by Lang Ning, it was only a blow to the military power of the Beitman. Its economy and population were not greatly affected. Then Lang Ning launched a counterattack, and with the help of Han Jin, they quickly occupied the whole territory of the Beitman and avoided the continuous destruction caused by the war. It was reasonable to say that the Beitman should be prosperous, but now the Beitman City had completely declined, and was even worse than Black Raven City.
It was said that the Orcs were like a swarm of locusts, and wherever they went, they would leave no survivors. But it was one thing to hear about it, and another to see it with one's own eyes. Beitman City was the hometown of Léger and Riptide Knight. When Lang Ning led the Riptide Regiment into Beitman City, he was very confident that he could build a powerful army by taking advantage of the advantages of the Beitman. But then things took a turn for the worse. The Elves suddenly launched a war, and they retreated to the Holy Crown City. Then the Orcs and the Elves fell out with each other. When Lang Ning stepped into Beitman City again, he was completely different.
After returning to the camp, Lang Ning's mood became extremely low. He didn't even attend the post-war meeting hosted by Guevara. The Riptide Knight was also in a bad mood. People couldn't jump out from the cracks of rocks. They had to have parents, relatives, and friends. The Beitman City was their home! Lang Ning needed to rest, but groups of Knights came to find him. The purpose of these Knights was very simple. They wanted to go home and have a look.
At this moment, Han Jin was treating Dominguez. In order to cooperate with Han Jin, Dominguez was lying on the deck. Her right arm was twisted beyond recognition. This was not something that could be cured with a few charms. Han Jin was busy for a long time. In the end, he had to bandage Dominguez's wound himself. Although he had the most powerful team of 'doctors' in the world, after the attack on the Holy See, Jeddes had transferred all the priests back, leaving only a group of auxiliary priests. Han Jin was somewhat worried about leaving Dominguez in their care.
While Han Jin was busy, Léger and Sassoux came to the God of War and spoke softly with Majordomo Gail. Loraine affectionately held Sassoux's arm and acted like a little bird. At first, Sassoux and Léger felt very uncomfortable. Later, they asked Lesley and found out that Sassoux was Loraine's father.
Finally, Han Jin finished bandaging Dominguez's wound and slowly straightened up. Dominguez only smiled and didn't say any words of gratitude. The wildness on the battlefield had long disappeared without a trace. She had returned to her original shy self.
"I heard that the Archbishop of the Holy See, Jeddes, is here?" Tobias looked around. "Why don't I see him?" Tobias felt that this kind of thing shouldn't be done by the Lord himself.
"Archbishop?" Majordomo Gail laughed. "Not just the Archbishop, even the entire Holy See is here. Don't you know? Also, Jeddes is no longer an Archbishop. He's the new Pope. "
"The entire Holy See is here?" Sassoux was stunned. "How many people are left?" They knew that Nicholas had led an army to attack the mountains of The Unsetting Sun and destroyed the Holy See.
"Three Holy Knight and a dozen Cardinals," Majordomo Gail said. As for the rest, he was too lazy to say. People who had reached such heights were only interested in high-end forces that could threaten them.
"Only these few people left?" Sassoux couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Yes."
"That Nicholas …" Tobias paused and sighed. "He's ruthless enough!"
"The Emperor of Magnificent Light, haha …" Majordomo Gail smiled. "If he didn't even have the courage and ability to do that, I would have to question him. What right does he have to call himself the Emperor?!"
Tobias nodded silently. A hint of worry suddenly appeared on his face.
"What are you worried about?" Majordomo Gail asked, puzzled.
"Lord Solomon has recently become interested in Nikolai?" Han Jin had entered their circle at some point. He was no longer the Han Jin of the past. He had slowly formed his own unique perspective on this world. Moreover, he used to be a private investigator and was good at capturing details. Tobias had a worried look on his face. Solomon must have revealed something, so Tobias could faintly feel that in the near future, Nicholas would most likely become the enemy of the Capital of Elements.
"Your Excellency Raphael." Tobias nodded with a smile, then hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes, how did you know?"
"When I was still in the Capital of Elements, Lord Solomon often mentioned Nicholas to me." Han Jin smiled. "Because of Jeddes, I'm also very interested in Nicholas, but I don't know much. I know a lot of things from Lord Solomon."
"So … that's how it is." Tobias pondered for a moment, then smiled. He felt that he understood Solomon's intentions. Nicholas had occupied more than a dozen territories. Not only did he have a Magician Legion that could compete with the Undying Bird Legion, but he also had a powerful Knight Legion and Swordsman Legion. His strength could be said to be the strongest in the continent. However, if Solomon and Raphael worked together sincerely, they could definitely compete with Nicholas.
"Jeddes has been with Nicholas all this time. How could he not know Nicholas?" Spencer asked.
"What he knows is what Nicholas wants him to know." Han Jin smiled. He suddenly had a feeling that in a sense, Solomon was treating everyone as a chess piece. If you were a car, then you should know how to go on a rampage. If you were a cannon, then you should know how to hit a cow across a mountain. You should just do your job well. You don't need to care about anything else. Tobias and Spencer didn't know that the Holy See had come to the Holy Crown City, because their job was to command the Undying Bird Legion. As long as they knew who the current enemy was and who the future enemy was, that was enough. Majordomo Gail didn't know that Solomon was interested in Nicholas, because his job was to take care of Yalina, protect her, and be the bridge between Solomon and Han Jin. He didn't need to know anything else.
Of course, Han Jin wasn't doubting the friendship between Solomon, Majordomo Gail, Tobias, and Spencer. There was an explanation that wasn't necessary!
A person didn't need to know everything. Otherwise, it would be very painful and heavy.
In fact, Solomon didn't lack assistants. He could always understand a person's strengths and weaknesses, and then put them in a corresponding position so that they could do their best. Solomon only lacked a successor, a true successor. Because his dream was too big, even absurd, he didn't think that he could wait until that day. In the end, he could only entrust his dream to the next generation, and let the successor perfect and complete it.
During his time in the Capital of Elements, Han Jin had undergone a force-feeding education. What was interesting was that Han Jin was no stranger to this kind of education. At that time, he had forcibly memorized the entire Taoist Canon, not to mention the concept of a story. What was even more interesting was that it was precisely because of Han Jin's photographic memory, his reading speed, and comprehension ability were even more sensational. In the end, he also accepted Solomon's ideals, which made Solomon pleasantly surprised. He believed that Han Jin was the successor that God had bestowed upon him. When he first brought Han Jin into the storage room, he was only trying to train him. After all, his children had disappointed him. But when Han Jin walked out, he had already confirmed it.
And Han Jin could also see that under Solomon's calm expression, there was great joy.
Therefore, although neither of them had made any promises, such as what Han Jin wanted to do to Yalina, or what Solomon wanted to do to help, the bond between them had become extremely tenacious. It was not inferior to blood relations; it was an inheritance of their hearts. Therefore, when Han Jin wanted the Great Gravity Technique, Solomon gave it to him. When Han Jin wanted the Immortal Bird Army to help him, the Immortal Bird Army appeared.
"Since the Vatican is with you, why didn't they come out?" Tobias asked in confusion.
"They were going to come." Majordomo Gail smiled bitterly, "But the Vatican was attacked, and the Holy Crystal was robbed, so …"
"Who dares to attack you?" Tobias was moved. Seeing Han Jin's sword, which seemed to split the whole world in half, he knew very well that there were only a few forces in the world that could shake the Holy Crown City.
"The Dragon Realm." Majordomo Gail's answer was very simple.
Tobias was speechless. The Dragon Realm was one of the few forces.
"What's the deep hatred between the Dragon Realm and the Vatican?" Spencer sighed, "The Vatican has been destroyed, but they still don't want to let it go. They even came to the Holy Crown City?!"
"The relationship between the Dragon City and the Vatican is not good, either." Tobias smiled, "In fact, the former emperors and the current lords are not on good terms with the Vatican."
What the Vatican did was to take a piece of the pie from others' plate, so it was impossible for them to have a good relationship with the strong ones. But because of the internal conflicts or doctrines, they could not take the whole plate away. Believers had their own beliefs, and their highest achievement was not to hold the ruling power of the whole world, but to spread the glory of the God of Light all over the world. When the Vatican was at its most powerful, there was a pope who tried to overthrow the emperor, abolish the royal court, and unify the religious power and the political power. As a result, there was strong internal opposition, which even reached the level of a riot. Through the doctrines brainwashing, a large number of priests were just pure believers, and they could not accept such a thing. As a result, the pope gave in, and the two powers could only continue to fight like this.
"Did you lose a lot?" Spencer asked.
"You mean the Holy Crown City?" Majordomo Gail sighed in his heart. It seemed that he had gradually become a member of the Holy Crown City, so Spencer used the word "you", "We didn't lose anything. The Dragon Realm just attacked the Vatican."
"According to the style of the Dragon Realm, they should have warned the lords who dared to take in the Vatican. How could they be fine?" Spencer felt a little strange.
"Maybe … they were afraid of our Lord Raphael." Majordomo Gail laughed.
Spencer could not help but look at Han Jin. The younger generation would surpass them in time! A young man in his twenties was already so powerful. What about the future? It seemed that the Dragon Territory also had this concern and did not want to provoke this young man. However … the Dragon Territory had given their full support to Nicholas. In the future, they would definitely be at loggerheads with him. Nicholas's rise, Solomon's waiting, and Raphael, this new star, all meant that a sign had appeared in the chaotic continent. Unification? Who would be the winner in the end?!
"In fact, this is not the most important thing." Majordomo Gail sighed and changed the topic, "Adolf is here."
"Adolf?" Tobias was stunned and hurriedly asked, "You mean …"
"Of course, it's the ascetic of the Vatican, Adolf."
Tobias hissed as if he had a toothache. Then, his gaze fell on Han Jin, "That guy is not easy to deal with!"
"I know," Han Jin said with a smile, "but … people have to be reasonable, right?"
Tobias and Spencer could not help but look at each other. They felt that Han Jin seemed to have a card up his sleeve. But since it was the first time they met, it was not good for them to talk too much. They could only ignore this topic.
At this moment, Guevara strode over. His face looked very serious.
"Guevara, what's wrong? You don't look well, "Majordomo Gail asked.
"How can I laugh?" Guevara asked back, "In this battle, we have lost more than one-third of our forces. The casualties are too great!"
Everyone fell into silence. The strength of the orcs was indeed beyond their expectations. In the end, they even activated the Beast Soul Revival. Fortunately, it was activated last, and Han Jin was there. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable! Under the influence of the Beast Soul Revival, the Behemoths had become monsters that could not be killed. As long as Rhinel was willing to abandon half of the Behemoths and let them charge at the front, the rest of the Behemoths and Behemoth warriors would protect the Beast God Totem Pole. The allied forces could not do anything. On one side, they could not kill the Behemoths, and on the other side, they could not attack. They could only obediently give way. If the battle continued, they would definitely be wiped out.
"And those little bastards. We've beaten them to this extent, but they are still not tired. They are still quarreling over there."
"Who? Are you talking about Alinsanrit and the others? "
"Alinsanrit is a qualified warrior. He only knows how to follow orders," Guevara said. "I'm talking about Winston and Saxon."
"What are they quarreling about?"
"There are so many corpses. They need to be buried. It's spring now, and if they are not careful, a large-scale plague may break out." Guevara said, "They are not willing to. The two of them are pushing the blame to each other. After all, they are still young. They think that they have made a great contribution by fighting to the death without retreating. Raphael, you need to find a chance to teach them a lesson. They are indeed worthy of praise for not being afraid of danger, but they cannot be arrogant!" “
"They don't even listen to you?" Han Jin frowned.
"What's the point of listening on the surface?" Guevara shook his head and said, "Also, Lang Ning's mood is a bit strange. I went to see him, but … he didn't seem to want to talk to me."
"Lang Ning? What happened to him? "
"I don't know. He changed after coming back from Beit City." Guevara said, "According to the Knight of Riptide, Beit City has become an empty city. They didn't find anything in the city, but outside the city, they found a few pits filled with rotting corpses."
"Beit City has become an empty city? What about the people inside? "
"Didn't you hear me? There are a few pits outside the city. Those who didn't escape in time were all killed. "Guevara sighed." But … even if they escaped, how far could they go? Could they escape the pursuit of the Storm Wolf Warriors? "
"Okay, I'll go check on Yalina first, then I'll go find Lang Ning." Han Jin nodded.
"You need to be mentally prepared," Guevara reminded him.
"What kind of preparation?" Han Jin was stunned.
"We can attack the Beitman in advance. Maybe, at that time, the orcs won't have time to kill the people in the city."
"It's useless." Spencer shook his head and said, "I've been dealing with the orcs for decades. I know them very well. It's useless. Even if the orcs had just conquered a city in the morning and you rushed over to help at noon, it would be too late."
"We know it's useless, but Lang Ning doesn't." Guevara sighed.
