494 Regrouping in Trodar (2/2)
”Simple enough…”
Having said that, Moranti clapped his hands together. Spatial energy inundated the entire army, turning every soldier a shade of purple. That purple energy then condensed around the army. Everyone present seemed to implode into nonexistence as they were teleported away from the battlefield along with the gods.
Everyone then found themselves appear within a vast open field. A few craters were scattered around the place, along with many patches of scorched earth.
Sterfen spoke up, ”Welcome to Trodar!”
The army next spotted the city walls not too far from them. When they spotted the west gate and the large engraving that read, ”Gilga”, the soldiers were overwhelmed with all sorts of emotions. Many were confused as to what they should feel. Others were elated to be found in a safe city and environment for themselves and eventually their families. Some were still stuck on how they were teleported away so easily.
”For now, the Leisure Guild will provide you all with tents and temporary lodging. Given how we'll be working together to find you new lands, it's the least we can do,” added Sterfen, motioning for King Wilheim to follow Jacks' wives toward the guild.
As the soldier gradually started to head for the city wall, a spatial rift opened up in front of Moranti and the others. Through it walked Eedaj and Guuro, followed by those of Rydel's party. Also, Tridon came through followed by almost all of the men serving under him. Finally, there was a mature woman, wearing an extravagant dress with a sorrowful expression painted on her face.
”So, how'd it go for you, apart from dealing with Jin's loss?” Sterfen asked.
Eedaj sighed, ”Reinolt did well but only with help from Karronteel and Hadurt. Without them or our assistance, there's no way for them to win.”
”Then why did the king reject the offer?” Dragas asked, unsatisfied with the prideful mindsets of most men.
”You already know why, Dragas,” replied Eedaj. ”Either way, the Beast Corps agree, so long as we visit Reinolt City and get their families to come as well.”
Nodding, Moranti asked, ”Then, what's next?”
”Well, first off,” Sterfen explained, shaking his head at Jin, ”we'll need to get Jin back into godhood, only we can't at the moment since we traded Sybin's corpse to get him back. We also need to get ready for an imminent attack on Trodar. To do that, we should probably be more public and create some temples. I'm sure the holy gods will be doing the same shortly if they haven't started already.”
”And with Jin's loss of strength, we'll be one man down for the next attack… I guess we lost that one,” Moranti sighed. ”At least that keeps things interesting. I wonder if Mr. High-and-Mighty will come down or will he just let me slaughter them all without interference?”
”Either way, we need to hurry up and prepare. You wouldn't want to let Halmut have his way in the end, right Moranti?”
Chuckling along with Sterfen and the other gods, Moranti slapped Jin on the back, knocking the samurai over. ”Right…”
