Chapter 426: Chapter 403: The Final Echo of War

The members of the Adley Royal Family turned ashen at once, their hearts had harbored the last hope of mounting a counterattack with the help of the Salvation Church; after all, if the mighty ones of the Salvation Church took action, it would be almost effortless to annihilate the Fischer family and the Romann family.

But now, their last hope had completely shattered.

Powerful as the Six Great True Gods Churches were, they still abided by the rules laid down by the Gods to this day.

Though they had already begun to intervene covertly, openly, without a justified and valid reason, the True Gods Church would not directly meddle in the various conflicts amongst the Extraordinary nobility.

In truth, that was to be expected.

Throughout the long history of ten thousand years, the major True Gods Churches had been directly manipulated through “Divine Oracles” and other means by numerous divinities, acting as their “limbs” in Claud World.

Therefore, mostly those who were unwilling to abide by the divine rules would be eliminated from the start, leaving the clergy who mostly possessed a certain level of faith.

Even after the complete departure of the Gods, some people’s faith in their hearts would eventually deteriorate and corrupt, but, at least until today, that rule had not yet seen true and total “collapse”.

The True Gods Churches were still forces that cared about face and rules.

Cardinal Albert looked down at everyone calmly from on high.

“Hurry up, if you don’t choose who to leave with now, I will leave alone.”

In the end, the members of the Adley Royal Family split into two factions, most willing to leave with Cardinal Albert, while a minority expressed their wish to stay.

“Good, now that you have made your choices, then come with me,” Cardinal Albert said, nodding slightly, then stretched out his seemingly powerless hand and tapped in front of him, a series of ripples slowly emerging in the void before space itself was torn open.

On the other side, the blurred silhouettes of the Kennas, dubbed the “City of Thousands”, “City of Stars”, and the denizens walking continuously in the great cathedral became visible.

That was a true “Space Gate”.

Cardinal Albert possessed the power of Bloodline to manipulate space, and as such, he had always been one of the most “free” individuals on the Siate Continent.

Then, with his other hand merely making a grasping motion, he instantly transported those who chose to leave with him to Kennas using an invisible force.

They disappeared just like that.

Only five members of the Adley Royal Family remained behind, looking at each other, some quickly regretting their decision, but they were unable to follow anymore.

The leading elder sighed, saying with a gaze filled with weariness,

“Let us wait for the final moment.”

The rain fell fine and even upon the ancient and mottled ground, producing a crisp and lingering sound, like gentle footsteps progressing slowly along the river of history.

The sounds of horses’ hooves, footsteps, and carriages mingled in the rain.

Darren, riding atop a black and red steed, reached for his pitch-black coat and gazed into the distance.

“We’ve finally arrived.”

The Northern Kingdom Army had finally reached the outskirts of the Cyart Royal Capital; a sense of joy spontaneously welled up from the depths of many hearts, knowing that the war had finally come to its final moment.

They could now fully see the walls of the Royal Capital!

Under the caress of the soft rain, the city walls seemed enshrouded in a hazy and mystical veil.
