Mortarion had escaped.
Fulgen was also seriously injured, but his original body was still standing. He tried to use this method to boost morale.
However, when Fulgen looked up to observe the situation, he found that the situation had been reversed.
In the face of such a terrible battle, how could an opportunist like Luther Haken throw in all the capital he had saved up over the years? He watched the battle for a while. The moment he discovered that the three heads of the Spirit Race's Death Army had arrived, Luther Haken felt a bone-deep fear. Without saying a word, he turned around and fled with his army.
Jin Mage and Carolina would not let Luther Haken retreat so easily. Jin Mage summoned the Genie Lord, and a violent hurricane and flame vortex swept away most of Luther Haken's army. Carolina led the army of Golden Horn Bay to shoot thousands of arrows. Luther Haken's undead pirate army suffered great losses. However, this was how it was between Sanctum experts. Unless one had the determination to fight to the death, it was easy to determine the outcome of a battle between Sanctum experts. It was very difficult to kill each other. In a situation where Luther Haken only wanted to escape, it was impossible to keep him here.
On the other hand, the Skaven Ratmen's retreat was even faster. Lord Skook had already decided to retreat when he saw the battle between Forgen and Kabanha. When Forgen defeated Mortarion, the Skaven Army had already completely retreated.
However, Lord Skook's encounter was even worse than Luther Haken's. Because just as he retreated from the vicinity of Costantinye, the lizardmen Snake God Prophet Tehenhoin led the snake god army to break through the rear guard of Pestillon's army and rushed to the battlefield. Hordes of lizardmen warriors, red-crowned spirit lizards, giant beast army, and salamander army were led by Snake God Prophet Tehenhoin to attack the Skaven Rat Men. Lord Skook had no choice but to summon the Scourge Lord to open a bloody path, and retreat with his personal guards and a few plague priests.
Thus, when the Dark Elven Warlord Warlord Vashner wanted to escape, he felt the Rat Men, he found himself surrounded.
"I will not let you go even as a ghost! You lowly beasts! "These were Uncle Tile's original words.
"You won't have the chance to become a ghost." Fulgen was still badly injured. His original body smiled at the three heads of the Death God Army. "It must have been hard for you to come from afar. Please accept this sacrifice as a token of my respect."
The Death God's Avatar nodded. Vashner was an expert at the pinnacle of the Saint-level. In addition to the thousands of Dark Elves under his command who had just died in battle, this meal would not only be full, but he could also eat and take. He had no reason not to accept.
The Death God's Champion, Thousand Face, remained loyal to the Death God's Chosen, Inani. Meanwhile, the Spirit lady was already thinking about how to receive the remaining dark elf soldiers and teach them the "Seventh Path of Dao". She ordered the lizardmen to capture them alive as much as possible, but unfortunately, the lizardmen didn't listen to her at all.
When dusk finally fell on Costantinye, the entire Terminator army was wiped out. Not a single person escaped. All the barbarians and Chaos soldiers were either killed, purified, or thrown into the Tyrannosaurus pit or sacrificed to the Serpent God Sotigo. More than half of the Dark Elven soldiers died in battle, and the Death God Army took over the rest.
Vashner, the Terminator, was unable to break out of the encirclement. This expert at the pinnacle of the Saint-level was tragically beheaded by Kouga. His head was hung on the waist of the Last Guardian as a trophy. His soul was even more tragic. It was dragged into the Death God's Avatar's territory and became delicious food for the Inkarn. The soul of a pinnacle of the Saint-level expert was enough for the Death God's Avatar to chew and digest for many, many days.
The Demon Toad Lord Mazda Moody was watching the battlefield. He was very satisfied with the results of this battle. The dark elves and the forces of Chaos had suffered huge losses in this battle. Even Kabanhar and the fallen Son of the Ancient Saint had been defeated one after another. This was beneficial to the grand plan. At the same time, the huge losses of the undead pirates and the Skaven Ratmen had given the Moment of Destiny a little more confidence. It was better than nothing.
Kouga obviously wanted to continue to show off his bravery and gains, but after hearing Mazda Moody's order, he expressed his understanding. He reorganized the army, retreated, and marched back to the City of the Sun.
The humans and the Death God Army were left behind to quietly watch their almost completely destroyed city.
Under the setting sun, Fulgen threw down the Blade of the Phoenix and Sotigo's spear in his hands. Yuan Shen silently walked to the halfling Habi's body that had been cut in half by Motharian. He stretched out his hand and carefully pieced Habi's body together. The little halfling had closed his eyes. He was like a baby in Yuan Shen's hands.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Yuan Shen's back and pulled out a very long shadow, pressing down on the ruins of Constantinje. Fulgen looked at Habi's closed and slightly raised mouth and was speechless for a long time.
"There are always some things that are worth sacrificing. There are always some things that are worth protecting."
Something new flashed from Fulgen's body. It was something that Yuan Shen, the Son of the Emperor who pursued perfection and glory, did not have.
The Phoenix Fire burned brighter and brighter, and the old power received a new change. The flame gradually became clear, and the purple gold on Fulgen's body became purer and brighter.
"Rise of the Phoenix." The God of Death's Chosen One, Inani, looked at Fu Gen's change with a complicated expression. She had seen a similar light on the resurrected Kiriman. At that time, Kiriman met the reborn God of Rot in the throne room. The father and son had a long conversation. After the Regent of the Empire left, Inani had seen a similar change. This made her feel very complicated.
Letting Mortarion go was actually the intention of the three heads of the Death Army. Due to their familiarity with the subspace and the Net, they could have stopped Mortarion from leaving. However, the Incarnation of Death did not do so. On one hand, it was because the price was too huge and not worth it. On the other hand, it was also because of the consideration of strength. The Incarnation of Death was currently only a fragment of the God of Death, Jena. Its strength was far from being as strong as a true god. Therefore, the Death Army had to ally with the Empire. At the same time, they had to secretly guard against the influence of the Empire. All the believers of the Death God firmly believed that as long as the God of Death was born and achieved the "Seventh Path", Jena's power would be enough to suppress the human Divine Emperor and completely defeat and destroy Pernicious.
However, the problem still remained. If they wanted Jena to fully recover its strength, they had to obtain the fifth Sword of the Crone. However, the fifth Sword of the Crone was in the core of Pernicious's territory in the Realm of Chaos, Pernicious Palace. That was a place that even the Emperor and the God of Laughter Xi Legao did not dare to go. The only one who could defeat Pernicious was the complete form of the God of Death, Jena. However, to achieve the complete form of the God of Death, Jena, they had to obtain the fifth Sword of the Crone …
There was no solution. The Death Army had repeatedly tried to achieve their goal for the past few years. They failed. They suffered huge losses. They tricked other Eldars into joining them. They tried again. They failed. They continued to suffer huge losses.
In exchange for this support, the Emperor told the Death Army a precious piece of news. A fragment of the main god of the Eldars, the Lord of the Phoenix, Asuyan, still exists in the world. Perhaps she can help you. When the three heads of the Death Army received this news, they were overjoyed and chose to rush over to help.
So why was Kirriman begging for Inany's help? It was very simple. Kirman did not know that the Emperor had already reached an agreement with the three heads of the Death Army. When the Regent of the Empire received the news that Forgan and St. Giles were in a critical situation, he was so anxious that he had to personally plead with the Death Army for help. Inani did not know why, but she liked to see Kirman, the arrogant Regent of the Empire, who controlled half of the Empire, plead with her. She enjoyed it for a while before "pretending" to reluctantly agree.
Countless thoughts flashed through the mind of the Eldars. She even could not control her expression. When she saw Forgan looking over after burying Harpy, she hurriedly opened her fan to cover her face.
Fortunately, Forgan only looked at the three heads of the Death Army. The champion of the Death Army, Thousand Face, was still silent. The Death Incarnation was busy chewing and absorbing the souls of Waschner – the Terminator and the thousands of Dark Elves. Seeing that Inani was silent, Forgan did not say anything. He called for Pillazo and asked him to arrange for people to count the losses. He also called for Julius and asked him to call the Arabi Army and Carolina Army back.
Pillazo was covered in injuries. This son of Forgan, the former leader of the mercenaries and the current leader of the Phoenix Guards, had almost died together with a Death Shroud. He only nodded silently. Julius's expression was even more complicated. The combat power that Forgan had displayed made his brother-in-law feel extremely hopeless.
Was he still human?
Were Laing's group of brothers really human?
Similarly? Laing was the General of the Forgan Army who had not grown up? Then was he human?
What kind of person did his sister marry?
???
Although his brother-in-law was depressed, he could only accept the order.
"It's really unexpected that the Spirit Race's Death Army would actually come to help us." After everything was arranged, the Sun Fire Talisman lit up slightly. Saint Giles had used up too much energy and his voice was very tired, but it was still full of sunshine and enthusiasm. "I don't know what their goal is."
"No matter what their goal is, we have to admit that they saved me, you, and this city." Forgan was also very tired. "Damn Mortarion, that bastard! I knew he would escape. He's a two-bit dog! "
"I can feel that he has been swept away by the turbulence of the subspace. We won't see him again for at least a few hundred years." Saint Giles was silent for a moment. "He will be fine, brother. Thank you."
"Okay."
Wood Elf Princess Carolina came. She first saw the heavily injured Forgan, who was covered in bandages of various colors. She quickly took out the Wood Elves' secret medicine and applied it on him with tears in her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she immediately noticed the Spirit Race lady standing to the side. She immediately blocked the two with hostility. "Who are you? Looking at your attire, are you from the Church of Cain? "
"War is my master, death is my lover." Inani glanced at Carolina, too lazy to pay attention to her inexplicable hostility, but many thoughts turned in her mind.
"It seems so. I'm warning you, stay away from Forgan!" Carolina said aggressively.
Both sides seemed to be at loggerheads, but in the end, other than Saint Giles' faint laughter, nothing else happened.
The next day, the losses of the war were calculated.
There were a total of 80,000 defenders who participated in the defense of Costantiniya, of which 40,000 were soldiers of the Ashes Corps and 40,000 were conscripts. The final count was that there were less than 24,000 soldiers left of the 80,000 defenders. In addition to these 24,000 soldiers, there were 18,000 soldiers with minor injuries who could return to service after recovering from their injuries. The remaining 40,000 soldiers were either killed or missing, and a few thousand were seriously injured and permanently disabled. Many could only spend the rest of their lives in sanatoriums.
A total of 49 officers were killed, including 12 generals. Among them, Pedro, General Weidenfeller, the founder of Cheka, Felix, Chief Political Commissar Harlan Sanders, Scout Captain Habi, Yegorov, and others were all killed. This could be said to be a huge blow to the Ashes Corps. The foundation that Forgan had spent more than a decade to build was a huge loss.
Forgan estimated that it would take at least three to five years to recover.
However, Yuan Shiyuan was not depressed at all. He saw a glorious future from his people. This battle had sharpened his army and allowed many soldiers who had not been able to break through for a long time to advance one after another. Humans were such a race. They would not explode with all their potential until the end.
More importantly, this battle caused a complete change in the relationship between Yuan Shiyuan and his army. Before, no matter what, everyone still had a superior and subordinate relationship with Fu Gen, but after this battle, there were already people who began to pledge their loyalty to Fu Gen one after another.
In the reception room of the Saint Sophia, Forgan, Inani, and Thousand Faces had a final meeting.
"So, you plan to sneak into Ossouin and try to find a way to meet Asu?" Forgan sat in a luxurious office chair and nodded slightly. "Then I have a little experience to share with you."
"We don't need your experience. The power of the Seventh Path can allow us to directly reach the Realm of God," Inani said. "The road ahead is long and dangerous. Yuan Shiyuan, it is the fortune of both our races that you have avoided this disaster, but you can't hope that we will always be able to appear in time to save you."
"I will always remember your kindness." Forgan pretended to be in a difficult position. "Since you are in such a hurry, I won't keep you. I hope you can get the answer you want."
"Then that's it. Your Divine King said that he would find a time to personally collect Yuan Shiyuan's soul. It should be after the seal of our great enemy is lifted." Inani bowed respectfully to Forgan, and Thousand Faces also bowed as a soldier. Then, the two Astrals walked out of the room with graceful steps.
After they left for a while, Forgan smiled and said, "Unfortunately, they are destined to return empty-handed after spending so much effort."
"What do you mean?" Wood Elf Princess Karolina came in with coffee and pastries. She was somewhat puzzled.
"Nothing." Forgan thought for a moment and said to Karolina, "How did it go?"
"Venerable Kroc agreed to erase the soul marks left by these strange relatives."
"Very good." Forgan was about to say something when he saw Karolina close the door of the reception room. Yuan Shiyuan immediately stood up and shook his head.
"No! Karolina! Not now! "
Ossouin, Inferno Island, and the main shrine of the Platinum Phoenix Pyramid. Asuyan's Domain of Divinity welcomed three special guests.
"Lord of the Phoenix, our race has encountered a great disaster. Please give us salvation and guide us on the future path!"
"…"
"My Lord, the tragedy of our Astrals has been forced to repeat itself again and again. Our race is withering day by day. We urgently need to change! Otherwise, destruction is close at hand! "
"…"
"Lord of the Phoenix, are you really going to abandon us? Are you going to ignore our desperate situation like this? You once held the stars in your hands. You once defeated the ancient Star God and extinguished the stars. Can't you give us even a little bit of enlightenment? "
"…"
The guests did not receive any answer to their questions. The Platinum Phoenix flames burned even more vigorously and fiercely. Only a door leading to the void appeared, indicating for the guests to leave immediately.
In the end, the guests were forced to leave in extreme disappointment.
… I am very, very disappointed in the section break …
Back to more than ten days ago, in the middle of May. More than ten days before the guests who visited Asuyan's Inferno Pyramid returned in disappointment, another group of guests followed the Claw Sea into the dark rolling river.
In the dark, deep, and cold Noska Underground River, they gradually approached Lone Dragon City, the territory of the dwarves that had been isolated from the old world for seven thousand years.
Our Knight King, Laing, woke up early this morning, only to find that there was no sun. There were only endless rock cliffs at the top of the underground river and a huge stone ceiling that had been excavated.
"It seems like something terrible is happening in this world?" Laing complained and stretched. "For example …"
"This Asuyan is obviously very powerful, but he is too cautious?"
