Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 178: Expansion (1/2)

Within Talah Castle

As a city of commerce, Talah Castle was naturally extree-scale of production of Silverstar Flowers made the city an extreers’ territory The large amounts of Silverstar Flowers produced here would be exported all over the world, even to the hue, they would receive back all kinds of specialized resources produced in the other territories

The relationshi+p between the various races was both of conflict and coh it was an important nonmilitary city and didn’t have many defenses to speak of, it was surrounded by powerful arrisons and sturdy forts These included the Inferno Tribe’s Unshakable Steel City, the Silver Wolf Tribe’s Radiance-Seizing City, and the Black Water Tribe’s Wind City

These strategic citiesTalah Castle to ignore most worldly affairs It relied on the lack of peace between the various tribes and the abundant resource production to fully enjoy the feeling of wealth

Because of this, the Ravagers living in Talah Castle were ast some of the happiest They had an abundance of resources impossible to find elsewhere in their land, and they lived very luxurious lives Even the poorest native of Talah Castle had their own luxury carriage Most of the Ravagers from there didn’t even work; they just lazed around and sunbathed froers of other tribes, and at least eighty percent of the people living there were pri twenty percent were locals, enjoying the riches that they had gained from the hard work of others

Of course, this situation was based on the current era of peace

When the world was no longer that peaceful, Talah Castle would no longer be such a great place to live

During the first htened The “unshakeable” Unshakable Steel City, the Radiance-Seizing City, and the Wind City all fell one after the other under the Beast Wave’s unstoppable onslaught Large nuh the Beasts had stopped advancing then because the Inferno Tribe was starting to gather their ar in Talah Castle had been badly frightened, seeing as they had suddenly transformed from the back lines to the front lines In particular, it was possible to see beasts running raers that had lived like kings froery of their ancestors Some even lost control of their bowels on the spot

Even so, that wasn’t the worst part

Their siege of their city came very quickly after that

The offensive was not initiated by the Beasts, but rather by the huht Battalion had set up an a for the arrival of the Beast Wave

Once the Beast Wave had wiped out the three ers’ front line of defense and forcing their line of engagee of the weak back line to strike They had slaughtered their way towards Talah Castle with a spurt of energy

Talah Castle fell after e

Afterwards ca

There was no ht Aret their hands on

Talah Castle, which was known for its fertility, was plundered like it had never been before Vast seas of resources hisked away just like that, and the Heavenly Might Arht out of the castle They even set fire to half the city as they left, enveloping it in a sea of red flames

This kind of catastrophe was a heavy blow to Talah Castle, and it caused the Ravagers living there to lower the heads that they had arrogantly been carrying so high for so long

Even so, they didn’t know that their disasters were only just beginning An evenon the horizon

Large groups of Deathered about ten kilo

At the center of the horde of beasts was ainpalace was actually held in the air by eight massive armored crocodiles They were as tall as son’s body White, icy air puffed out of their mouths as they breathed These armored crocodiles could wipe out a city on their own in the human race’s territory, but here they were runts to carry a palanquin

Bright red fog swirled around the blood-colored floating palace, occasionally fluctuating with a sinister, wicked energy A Iron-Winged Bird accidentally flew into so its tragic cry in its beak, it was turned into a bloody mist

The Demonic Beasts around the castle becaet close to the blood-colored castle without a good reason

Most of the tiht be a few De the palace fro with them orders and commands on where to move a horde of beasts next

Today, however, the situation was obviously different

“ROAARRR!!”

An earth-shaking howl reverberated across the desolate, barren landscape
