Chapter 1377 - The Converging Crisis (1/2)

What the Grand Lord had said was no empty talk; the scene before them was something no human could ever hope to strive for.

Marwayne was completely unable to imagine how Graycastle would deal with the miracle before them. Other than raising their heads to look up, the only other thing they could possibly do was to pray.

The demons are bound to win this war.

He no longer had any doubts.

All his frustration and fear from before were swept clean and replaced with an indescribable excitement. Since the demons could win the war, his payback would no longer be imaginary. This contrast could not be in any way compared to a drowning person gaining a new lease of life but a person at the end of the road being welcomed back to the peak!

As for the Knights that had escaped, they were bound to feel remorse for the rest of their lives—No, not only that, they no longer had the right to live to ripe old ages. Marwayne swore that the very first thing he did as King of Everwinter was to take care of the traitors!

Marwayne knelt down emotionally and lowered his head towards Hackzord. “Yes, we have seen it.”

The other nobles replicated his actions.

“This is the Deity of Gods that belongs to my race, and also the most direct form of displaying true power,” Skylord said with his hands to his back. “Bringing all of you here was not just to dispel your doubts because I have a mission for all of you to complete.”

“We await your instructions!” everyone immediately replied.

“It will still take some time for the Deity of Gods to arrive at the Impassable Mountain Range, but the territories that you are all in charge of have signs of losing control. Every single one of the deserters have the possibility of becoming enemies and I do not want the situation to worsen as it is.” He swept his gaze across everyone. “From now on, all of you will organize manpower and evacuate everyone here. At the same time, I will mark out a region here in the Deity of Gods for all of you to reside in, until the Battle of Divine Will is over.”

“You… want to let the scums ascend to the the miracle?” Narnos asked in surprise.

“Whose fault do you think this is?” Hackzord glanced at him coldly.

The latter immediately closed his mouth.

“It will not take long for the news of the Knights escaping to spread to the lower class. That is when Everwinter’s social order will completely crumble. Rather than allowing Graycastle to take advantage of them, it’s better to control them before the snowball effect comes into play. If any of them challenges you, use a blade or sword to shut them up. That shouldn’t be difficult for you.”

“Of course, of course.” Marwayne was the first to take a stand. “I will do it now.”

The other nobles agreed in succession.

“Be at ease, your territories will not be abandoned, because the battle will not last long.” Hackzord seemed to have noticed their worries. “Aside from that, joining the Deity of Gods implies that you have participated in the war. This will increase your contribution to the war and when the time comes to distribute the human realm, obviously we will not overlook this. Understood?”

Happiness immediately filled the hearts of the nobles. The failure of their sneak attack on the small Graycastle team had undoubtedly failed to satisfy the Grand Lord, but the opportunity to make amends had appeared once more, with the possibility of improving their positions. This immediately stirred up their emotions.

“Yes, of course! We will do our best!”

Hackzord opened a new portal. “It’s good that you understand. I only have two requests, evacuate as quickly as you can, and do not reveal the existence of the Deity of Gods. Now, start moving.”

…

After sending the nobles back, he walked deep into the great rupture.

Hackzord endured great pressure from the majority for allowing the “lowlifes” to interact with the Deity of Gods. Not all the Grand Lords were on the same page, and Mask felt that it was blasphemous, but Hackzord managed to pull it off with his status as the Commander of the Western Front.

Skylord gradually realized that the Graycastle warriors were nothing special. They might had been farmers or hunters, but after a few months of training, they joined the army as new recruits with firearms capable of killing their trained counterparts.
