The abyssal army had retreated!
Standing on the heavily damaged city wall, Kemorache was so excited that tears streamed down his cheeks. The Freedom Federation hadn't fallen in his hands. Just this point alone was enough for his name to be recorded in the annals of history, leaving behind a thick stroke of color in the history of the Freedom Federation.
Honduras's face was no longer as graceful as before. At this moment, no one could hide their excitement. Yes, after this battle, Esnorly City had lost more than half of its combat power, but all the sacrifices were worth it. The abyssal army of a million was an astonishing number, yet it had actually been beaten back!
With a mere army of 200,000 that lacked high-end combat power, they had forcibly stopped the advance of the abyssal army of a million. It could be said that Esnorly City had created a miracle, a miracle that no one could ignore.
The entire city was in an uproar. This was an unforgettable moment for all the survivors. Countless people were running on the streets to tell each other that they had won!
The common people living at the bottom were always the easiest to be satisfied. When the news of victory came, they felt that all the suffering they had suffered wasn't in vain. Even if their loved ones had died in the war, they would mourn and proudly tell others that their loved ones had done well and didn't disgrace the Freedom Federation!
The people were willing to take out the food that they had saved for a long time and were reluctant to eat themselves to entertain the soldiers who had returned in triumph. The reinforcements from the tribes were also treated with the highest standard of courtesy. Even the magical beasts such as the iron-armored bulls and the wyverns were able to eat the delicious food that the people had carefully prepared for them.
Those big shots who were usually arrogant and never looked the common people in the eye also uncharacteristically warmly exchanged greetings with the common people on both sides of the street. The atmosphere in Esnorly City was unprecedentedly harmonious.
At this moment, it was as if there was no class distinction, no distinction between rich and poor, no distinction between men and women, old and young. Everyone was happily gathered together to celebrate this hard-won victory.
In the face of death, all reliance became worthless. Only in the face of death could everyone be truly equal. This was a feeling of sharing trials and tribulations. Even the incomparably honorable Chairman Honduras had forgotten to put on his airs. Of course, whether or not he would be able to enjoy the same riches in the future was another matter.
The reinforcements from the swamps were clearly frightened by this enthusiastic scene. It must be known that in the past, they had only come to the Freedom Federation for one thing: war! However, in the blink of an eye, they had suddenly transformed from enemies to heroes. This disparity was truly too great, causing these simple and honest men to feel embarrassed but also a faint sense of pride in their hearts. Who would have the heart to refuse the friendliness of the common people of the Freedom Federation?
Compared to the lively atmosphere in the city, Thorne's dejected figure in the south seemed somewhat out of place.
The gigantic Armored Bull was currently shaking its head and acting coquettishly in front of Han Jin and Sunier, causing Sunier to chuckle. However, the Armored Bull's size caused the atmosphere to become indescribably strange. Just think about it, a creature that was much taller than Han Jin and Sunier was acting all silly. It was hard not to raise eyebrows.
Thorne and Empyrean South watched this scene and felt their hearts bleed. What was this?! 'Did I run thousands of miles just to deliver a pet to someone?!'
How sad! It was really too sad! If this was spread out, they would immediately become the biggest joke in the swamps!
However, the excited Armored Bull did not care about the feelings of its former owner. At this moment, it only had eyes for Han Jin. It was also very close to Sunier who often fed it. Even when it saw Morrisons, it would still snort and greet them. However, it did not even look at Thorne and Empyrean South who were sitting alone in the corner.
Soon, a three-party meeting consisting of Esnorly City, Holy Crown City, and the Tribal Alliance was held. Each force sent several representatives to participate. Because this was a battlefield meeting, everything was simple. There were not even chairs, let alone casual meals. The meeting was held in the suburbs of the northern city of Esnorly City. In fact, it was just a meeting between several leaders.
Honduras first came forward to say a few words of courtesy, then went straight to the point. Should they follow the Abyss army closely and end this war once and for all?
In the Tribal Alliance, only the chiefs of several large tribes and the Great Leader participated in the meeting. Hearing Honduras' suggestion, the chiefs all looked at the Great Leader.
"No." The Great Leader shook his head and said, "In order to support you, we have been rushing day and night. Now we are extremely tired. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, we need to rest for a few days." On the surface, it was reasonable for him to refuse, but in his heart, he was cursing loudly. Go to hell! I don't even have a mount. How can I fight? Ride on an old man like you?!
"Yes." Hearing the Great Leader's words, one of the chiefs hurriedly nodded and said, "We are too tired. If it weren't for the blessings and prayers of that honorable priest, we wouldn't have won so easily."
"I also don't agree with the pursuit." Han Jin said slowly, "The commander of this Abyss army was originally the fallen angel Catherine. After Catherine left, Donald sent the Fire Tyrant Lonker here. Perhaps … the Fire Tyrant Lonker is on the way."
"My lord is right." Zenglin said, "If we really force those Abyss warriors into a desperate situation and fight to the death with us, even if we can win in the end, we will have to pay a heavy price. With the Fire Tyrant Lonker, our chances of winning are not very high."
This was the advantage of being a leader. No matter what he said, no matter whether he was right or wrong, he would immediately be affirmed. Thorne was supported by people in Tiannan, and so was Han Jin. Zenglin and Majordomo Gail were not just for show.
Seeing that both sides were against the pursuit, Honduras was a little disappointed. The atmosphere in the room also became a little stiff.
Perhaps it was because he felt unbearably hot after fighting for so long, or perhaps it was because he was disgusted by the speechless atmosphere, the Great Leader stretched out his hand and took off his helmet. Then, he looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. His eyes involuntarily drifted into the distance. There, his bull was playing with the beautiful female elf. How f * cking depressing …
It was fine if he didn't take off his helmet, but when he revealed his true appearance, everyone except the chiefs of the Tribal Alliance was stunned. Even Han Jin showed a look of astonishment. There was no other reason, but the Great Leader's appearance was very strange!
It wasn't that he was ugly, but that it didn't match. At least, it didn't match his tall and sturdy figure …
A pair of thick eyebrows, a pair of big eyes, and a small cherry-like mouth under the straight bridge of her nose. Not to mention men, it was rare for a woman to have such a small mouth. It was too sexy, too charming!
"What the f * ck are you looking at?!" The Great Leader sensed everyone's gazes and immediately swore in anger. Clearly, he had experienced many similar situations in his life.
"You should have grown a beard …" Han Jin said with a smile. Although his words had a hint of ridicule, and it was easy to completely anger the Great Leader at this time, coupled with his sunny smile, it was hard to dislike him.
Thorne touched his chin in Tiannan, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Our Great Leader is only 20 years old this year. This … this … most of our swamp warriors mature later." A chief said softly. On the one hand, he was trying to dispel the embarrassment, and on the other hand, he was trying to establish his prestige for the Great Leader.
"You … you're only 20 years old?" Honduras was stunned again. This was too young! Raphael of the Holy Crown City was already too young, and now there was another one. Had this world become the world of young people?!
"Are you Thorne Tiannan?!" Kemorazi asked hurriedly. They were old rivals, so he certainly knew the situation of the Tribal Alliance. It was said that a young genius had appeared in the Tribal Alliance. At the age of 19, he had defeated the old chief Jiu Fan in a fair fight, and was praised as the star of hope of the Tribal Alliance. In the Tribal Alliance, people even compared him to the famous Solomon, the light of magic. Although the old chief Jiu Fan had lost the battle to support the younger generation, and it was said that Thorne Tiannan had won the battle with the help of his mount, his own strength was definitely not to be underestimated. Just now, he had been wondering why Jiu Fan didn't appear. Since the Great Leader had changed, there was absolutely no one else in the Tribal Alliance who could convince the public except Thorne Tiannan.
"Humph …" Thorne Tiannan squeezed out a snort from his nostrils, looking very arrogant. Among the representatives of the conference, he didn't care about the people of Esnorly City at all, but had been secretly observing the representatives of the Holy Crown City. That thin old man, with eyes as sharp as needles and slender fingers, should be a close combat professional. But he didn't look like a warrior, or a thief? That magician in a robe, with a graceful bearing and powerful gestures, should be a person who had been in power for a long time. And … damn, that guy must be more than 100 years old, right? That's too much … He's so old and still not dead? Was he the one who released the Great Blessing Spell and the Great Prayer Spell??
"Ahem …" Thorne Tiannan coughed a few times, and said in a genteel manner, "Your Excellency, I've already introduced myself, you …"
"My name is Raphael, this is Mr. Adolf, this is Majordomo Gail, and this is Grand Magus Zenglin." Han Jin smiled and introduced the people around him.
Adolf had always been unknown, but Majordomo Gail was famous, especially Zenglin, who was regarded as the leading figures in the Northern and Southern Magic Domains together with Grand Duke Solomon. The faces of Thorne Tiannan and the other patriarchs changed again and again.
There was one question that couldn't be ignored: What kind of strength did Han Jin, who was surrounded by so many people, have?!
"You don't know yet, do you?" Kyle Morazi suddenly said, "The commander of this Abyss Army was originally the Fallen Angel Catherine, but she withdrew because Lord Raphael defeated her!"
Hearing Kyle Morazi's words, Honduras suddenly froze. Cheering for Raphael in this kind of situation meant that Kyle Morazi had already declared that the Freedom Federation was no longer the Freedom Federation of the past. At the very least, Kyle Morazi had already decided to rely on Raphael.
The patriarchs of the Tribal Alliance had already turned pale. This news was too shocking. Thorne Tiannan also opened his small mouth, and after a long time, he slowly said, "Actually … I knew you were very powerful when I first met you, but I didn't expect you to be this powerful!" After saying this, Thorne Tiannan gave Han Jin a thumbs up.
Han Jin smiled. This guy was really straightforward, without any pretense.
At this time, the God of War slowly flew over from the north, and Harley's figure appeared in the air. Seeing Han Jin's group and the people of Esnorly City gathered together and seemed to be discussing something, he didn't rashly come over. He only landed beside Sunier and whispered a few words to her, then flew back to the God of War.
"Lich? How come you have a Lich?? "Thorne Tiannan asked in astonishment.
"He's just my friend, not a Lich." Han Jin replied in a low voice.
Thorne Tiannan didn't believe him. When he was about to continue asking, he suddenly saw tall figures jumping down from the God of War, landing steadily on the ground, and slowly walking towards them in a row.
It was a Titan!
However, the warriors from the Tribal Alliance had been shocked several times, and their psychological endurance had greatly increased, so they didn't find it strange at all.
Dominique reached out her hand to Han Jin and said with a smile, "Sir, this is our biggest gain."
Four pure and plump magic crystals were lying quietly in Dominique's palm. Han Jin gently picked up the magic crystals and glanced at Sunier, who was standing in the distance with a smile. He knew that this kind of gift must have been planned by Sunier. On the one hand, it was an opportunity for the Titan to appear, and on the other hand, it meant that four tyrannical Abyssal Demons had been killed, which fully demonstrated the strength of the Holy Crown City, and achieved the goal of defeating the enemy without a fight.
Among the strong men in the Holy Crown City, there was no lack of wise men with foresight, especially the five-member think tank, which was composed of Guevara, Jedis, Majordomo Gail, Gao Bin and Glynn. Although the direction of this world war was not clear, and the outcome had not yet been decided, they were already planning for the future. As the saying goes, the former is the lesson, the latter is the teacher. The miserable experience of the four heroes in the first world war aroused their vigilance, and they would never let the tragedy happen again. Today's comrade-in-arms may be tomorrow's backstabbing enemy. Therefore, the Holy Crown City must steadily expand and consolidate its core control while resisting the invasion of the Abyssal Demons. They could even use the Abyssal Demons to eliminate the potential threats.
Sunier was qualified to know the strategic planning of the Holy Crown City, so of course she would take advantage of the opportunity in front of her.
"Losing four Abyssal Demons, I think … Donald must be very sad." Glynn smiled. He had underestimated Donald … He was worried that the bigwigs of the Tribal Alliance couldn't see the origin of the magic crystals, so he explained it indirectly.
Glynn's guess was also wrong. In fact, Donald was not sad, but extremely sad!
"My Lord, Harley seems to have done something big. He has been bragging that he will give you a surprise when you return to the ship." Dominique continued with a smile.
"Really?" Han Jin also smiled.
A bright red light shot from the sky, and then Yalina and BaoBao appeared in everyone's sight. With the increase of experience, Yalina had learned to pay attention to small details. In the past, she would have come directly to Han Jin and chatted with him regardless of what he was doing. But now, she just smiled at Han Jin from afar, and then landed beside Sunier. BaoBao also put away the bright red flame, and curiously looked at the giant bull with his head tilted. The bull became nervous, snorting, and stepped back little by little. Sunier reached out her hand and gently stroked the bull's neck, trying to ease its tension, but it didn't seem to work.
As a super-rank holy animal, BaoBao was not even afraid of dragons, so how could he care about the warning of a bull? The more the bull snorted, the more curious BaoBao became, and he staggered toward the bull.
Finally, the bull couldn't bear the pressure and suddenly turned around, running toward Han Jin.
"Come on, buddy …" Thorne, who was proficient in animal taming, knew that the bull was afraid of the Immortal Bird, so he subconsciously went up to meet it.
Unexpectedly, the bull twisted its body and dodged, then quickly ran to Han Jin's side. Then, it began to go crazy, constantly growling and kicking the ground with its four hooves, causing sparks and sand to fly everywhere. Its posture was very obvious: Come, come, come, I'll fight you for three hundred rounds …
To BaoBao, this was an unbearable provocation! It suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, and bright red flames lit up from its body again.
Seeing that it didn't scare the other party, the bull immediately shrank, twisted its butt, and went to Han Jin's side, and simply crawled on the ground. It didn't care anymore. If the Immortal Bird really rushed over, he would have to deal with it.
"BaoBao, don't mess around," Han Jin shouted.
"BaoBao …" Seeing this, Yalina hurriedly patted BaoBao's neck, trying to calm him down.
BaoBao had extremely high intelligence, and he only wanted to scare the other party. Now that he had gained enough face and the other party had admitted defeat, he didn't want to continue arguing. He lazily retracted his flames, arrogantly glanced at the bull, and then shifted his gaze elsewhere. He was no longer interested in this kind of guy who looked fierce on the outside but was weak on the inside.
The bull's eyes narrowed into slits, leisurely swinging its tail. It didn't care about the sight attack, it was only afraid of the destructive flames.
Suddenly, a cry came from the sky, and Little Gold Lightning sensed the movement below. To be precise, the bull and the thunderbirds on the God of War were not magical beasts in the traditional sense, but spirit beasts. Little Gold Lightning smelled the unfamiliar scent of its own kind, and then it spread its wings and flew away from the God of War.
The bull's eyes suddenly opened, and its body shook. Then, it suddenly stood up, and its gaze turned to the sky.
Little Gold Lightning circled in the air a few times, and finally locked onto the bull. It spread its wings and shot down diagonally, landing a few meters away from the bull.
"Cough … Lord Thorne?" Honduras tried to pull the other party's attention back. The meeting wasn't over yet!
Unfortunately, it was futile. Thorne's neck seemed to have become stiff, and he didn't have any intention of turning his head. After only a few minutes, the bird and bull became familiar with each other and began to play with each other.
