1448 The War that Destroyed a Country Part 2 (1/2)

Tanggulasi was engulfed in rampaging green. It elicited a huge reaction from both Qin and Cloudflow.

The Qin people regretted that they had not joined, while the Cloudflow people were terrified. Although most of the Cloudflow forces lay in their marines, many of their cities on the land could not be given up. Originally, by relying on their advantageous location, they had been able to fend off the armies of the two neighboring countries. But now things were great. Saleen possessed Floating City. No matter how difficult the mountain range, to Saleen, it was as if it did not even exist.

Lex was now faced with immense pressure. The House of Lords had proposed to have Saleen withdraw his troops from the northern part of Qin. Although he was a prince, he did not have the authority to station troops on Qin territory. The original Northern aristocrats needed to return to their own territory.

Lex knew that power in the Golden Plains was not just about the mage trainers in Arbola's hands. There were also the weapons, warriors, and inconceivably large amounts of equipment that the Grukos family had slowly accumulated over several millennia.

Because there had not been an appropriate reason to bring them out, the Golden Plains had had no means of controlling the empire.

In the early days of the empire, the Golden Plains had been subjected to suppression of the contract and could not interfere with the governing of the empire. It was the same now, but if she did not agree with the proposal, the legality would be shaken up. In that case, the contract suppressing the Golden Plains would lose its effect.

She was at a crucial time for her cultivation. Now that the fate of the empire was gradually improving, her secret technique had a corresponding improvement and was almost as high as level 12. If she could rule the empire for a century, her secret technique would definitely be able to surpass her ancestors.

Saleen listened to Lex pouring out her grievances via the magic array and laughed. ”Lace, I will just move out and let them kick up a fuss.”

Lex did not understand.

Saleen said, ”Breaking down the Tanggulasi Empire is enough for me. Returning to help Grand Duke Iron Blood to wipe out Cloudflow will bring even greater benefits.”

”Occupying the empire is relatively difficult. Perhaps you will not have time to cultivate for hundreds of years,” Lex brought up her worries.

Saleen smiled. After sending over a stack of magic materials and journals to Lex, he started a new battle.

Saleen's army withdrew into Phoenix from the northern part of Qin. Even Guderian City did not have a single soldier remaining. Just as the people from the Golden Plains began to feel proud of themselves, a sound appeared on the battlefields of the Tanggulasi Empire.

The Nature Faith's disciples would only accept the leadership of the Metatrin Kingdom. Otherwise, it would be blasphemy against their god.

All of the people in the Qin Empire panicked. Even Safilos went to see the niece he had always hated.

”Lex, the situation that your prince has caused is too dangerous. The collapse of the empire will not be far off.”

”Safilos,” Lex called her uncle. ”I have heard that Saleen has established a temple on your territory. Why did you not refuse?”

”I could not refuse.”

”Indeed. After so many years, the Holy See finally has an opponent. If we do not destroy them with one blow, the consequences will be endless. What about the Nature Faith? There are no immortal dynasties, nor are there any immortal gods. For this matter, let us give in to Saleen. The most important thing is that the people on the Golden Plains...”

Safilos had nothing to say. He was even more on guard against the people of the Golden Plains.

The war waged for half a year. Saleen's demon army was limitless and could replenish the gaps amidst the Temple Knights' ranks. The army within the Qin Empire's borders had also started pondering what they should do as the Golden Plains stirred up trouble.

At the end of the year, an extremely important matter took place. A divine omen descended from the Goddess of Nature.

The divine omen was similar to what the disciples said. The Nature Faith would only accept the leadership of the Metatrin Kingdom. The lands that the Nature Faith had attacked and occupied would only permit the control of Metatrin's aristocrats.

The Nature Faith did not control any land until now and would select its dynasties. Hence the divine omen did not contain any abnormalities.

But this was different from the unruly antics of the disciples. It was a divine omen, and all the disciples would obey it unconditionally.

What did it imply? The Tanggulasi Empire did not have much land left. Only the Glorious Plains and the places that lay a few hundred meters from the imperial capital were left. Saleen had not attacked the Tanggulasi Empire's imperial capital and had not planned to dispatch any troops, but an imperial dynasty that only controlled several hundred meters of land was actually more or less as good as destroyed.

Saleen destroyed the Tanggulasi Empire. It had taken place too quickly, and no one was able to comprehend it.

The divine omen had descended. The Tanggulasi Empire belonged to Metatrin Kingdom. If anyone was unwilling to agree, they would become the enemy of the millions of disciples who belonged to the Nature Faith.

Everyone knew how terrifying disciples were. The Nature Faith did not have any expansive properties, but the divine omen had descended from the goddess. The mages of the Golden Plains could no longer sit still.

Saleen could not sit still either. He never thought that the Goddess of Nature would actually be revived.

Reviving was one thing, but a divine omen had come down from her, tying him to the Nature Faith. When the goddess was revived, he did not feel anything.

Wasn't it terrible?

He hurriedly investigated the contract in his soul. Indeed, the contract between him and the Goddess of Nature was complete.

The Goddess of Nature had been revived, but he could not search for the goddess' whereabouts, not to mention killing the goddess. Saleen was not certain what level the revived goddess was at and whether or not he could defeat her.

He could only speed up his attack. He began to arrange his troops to encircle the Glorious Plains.
