Chapter 17 (2/2)

Unfortunately, the delicacies that she had meticulously prepared became as tasteless as wax, and she ate without the slightest bit of enjoyment.

Although she was already used to such disappointment, her heart would ache every time to the point that it was difficult for her to breathe.

Right at this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard.

When the onlookers turned around to take a look, they immediately cried out in surprise.

It was actually a fully-armored warrior who stood at a height of more than two meters with a two-handed greatsword at his waist.

These ordinary villagers had never seen such a terrifying existence before. They immediately turned into cowards and scattered back to their homes.

Some brave villagers leaned against the window and saw the majestic warrior come in front of the princess.

He knelt down like a toppling jade pillar. Under the princess’ cold and solemn gaze, he apologized.

“Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn’t mean to disturb your and Mr. Su’s meal.”

“However, the capital sent a message. The Northern Orc Alliance has invaded and a million troops are coming straight for the kingdom. The king has ordered us to immediately escort her Highness back to the king’s city to prevent any mishaps.”

Clink!

When the princess heard this, the cutlery in her hand slipped and fell to the ground with a sharp, metallic clink.

For a moment, she looked at Sullo in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Sullo did not say anything. He continued to put the last piece of steak into his mouth in an orderly manner. He chewed slowly, feeling the collision of flavors between the food and his taste buds.

After he swallowed the bite of steak down, he took the soup from the table and began to taste it leisurely with a silver spoon.

He only raised his head slowly once he had finished the rest of the soup. He wiped the food residue at the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and said indifferently, “If that’s the case, then let’s go back!”

Sullo made the final decision. The convoy set off again and sped toward Jonah Kingdom’s capital.

The Northern Orc Alliance was officially called the Chieftain’s United Army and comprised an army of one million.

The main forces were werewolf infantrymen and the musk deer archers, occupying more than half the army’s forces.

There were also the powerful bear soldiers, flying harpies, and foxes and swans who were skilled in magic.

Their combat strength was strong and their abilities were all-rounded. Their numbers were huge and could be said to be the largest in history.

Under the royal chieftain’s command, these orc soldiers swarmed toward the Jonah Kingdom like a tidal wave.

At this time, the Jonah Kingdom immediately took out their ancestral skill and prayed to their god for protection.

In the past when they had done this, their powerful God would send down his divine power to help the Jonah Kingdom defeat the United Army’s attack.

However, this time, their God did not respond to the Jonah Kingdom’s prayer.

It was as if their precious sacrifices were unable to move the god.

If not for the fact that the faith channel was still there, they would have thought their God had already fallen.

However, no one knew that it was not because their god was unwilling to protect them.

It was because the entire planet was blocked by Sullo and the others. The believers’ prayers could not reach their God at all.

If the gods didn’t know the situation, then how could they send reinforcements in the first place?

The Jonah Kingdom’s army, which had lost the gods’ protection, was powerless under the Orc Alliance’s attack.

For a moment, the Jonah Kingdom’s faith in the gods began to waver.

Later, in the hearts of the Jonah Kingdom’s people, an extremely pessimistic thought began to appear.

“The gods are dead!”
