The next day, Aldridge launched the final offensive.

The water droplets on the mud ground have condensed into ice, and Aipla Peak is still full of greenery all over the mountains and plains, but it cannot conceal the desolation and panic of the coming winter.The sky turned white, covering the world like a layer of hazy tulle, and the breath was cold and had a rust-like bloody smell.The Epra Peak in winter is quieter than usual. Aldrich's army is ready to go, with Noah's fighting stone statue leading the way ahead, and you can have a panoramic view of Epra Peak.

Aldrich divided the army into three columns and went up the mountain from different directions. He couldn't do this before because Daniel had about the same number of troops as him. With Daniel occupying the home field, he would definitely fall into a trap.Now that there are those battle stone statues standing in front of them, once they find any traces of the Shilan Empire's army, they can contact each other immediately.

Daniel hid in a cave and took cover outside. His valet came back from the outside and said, "The enemy army has entered the mountain."

They went out, the sky was a pale, dizzy.Daniel looked up and observed for a moment, suddenly a white spot of light appeared in the sky, and then an arrow along the tip of his pen penetrated deeply into the soil, and the end was still trembling.

"Retreat!" Daniel ordered sharply.

Aldridge's army swarmed up from the darkness, only hearing the wind for a while, Daniel's army quickly fought against them, and then retreated repeatedly.At the same time, more and more white light spots appeared in the sky. When they approached, the soldiers realized that this was a kind of movable stone statue.The battle stone statues rampaged through the Shilan Empire army, repeating the scene of defeating reinforcements yesterday again.

Daniel's army was full of fear in the face of the attack of this stone statue.After passing through Daniel's battle, they are not what they used to be. However, after these defeats, they have always felt hesitation and torture in their hearts.These weird stone statues look more like a punishment from a god or a trick from a devil.People kept throwing away their weapons and fleeing, and the Shilan Empire's army was routed like a pile of loose sand, with very few survivors.

Knowing that the Shilan Empire's army was doomed, Daniel rode on a fast horse and organized the remnants to evacuate quickly.Aldrich was capturing those Shilan Empire soldiers, and he had no time to care about them.Noah told him, and he took a few battle stone statues to chase Daniel.

They chased all the way, passed the Epra Peak, and ran for several miles. The mess of yesterday was still in place. Daniel only took a look and knew what happened yesterday.

The [-] reinforcements died silently in the hands of Noah, and Daniel didn't even get any news.In this war, when Noah appeared, the balance of victory had already tilted like Aldrich.

When Noah chased halfway, a stone statue shot an arrow at Daniel, which was blocked by a cloud of black mist.A dozen gray-robed men stood behind Daniel. They formed a huge net, chanting different prayers, and then black flames fell from the sky.Noah felt that his connection with the light breath was broken again, and the chain hammer fell silently. Noah rushed up and smashed the head of a gray-robed man in the air, like a ripe watermelon bursting in summer.

The rest of the gray-robed people were not afraid of death, and did not shrink back because of the fear. They rushed up one by one, using their lives to stop Noah's attack.These gray robes all died in the hands of Noah and the stone statue, and Daniel had already escaped.

Noah sent a battle statue to track down Daniel, and went back by himself.

Aldridge was clearing the field, and the war that had lasted for months was finally over.Aldrich always dragged the battlefield in the Epra Peak, and did not allow the troops of the Shilan Empire to step into the territory of the Northern Alliance.The civilians in the alliance were also saved from the tragedy of Helmert Kingdom in the south.During the war, human life completely loses its value and dignity.Over the years, more humans have died in wars than in disasters and famines.The laws of any country regard the killing of the same kind as a heinous crime, but under the extremely distorted scene of war, they take slaughter and looting for granted.Those weapons can also easily slash at civilians who are helpless.

Noah said to Aldridge, "Daniel ran away."

"We've got to get him," Aldrich said.

Noah nodded. He stood on the mountain and looked around. There was still a flooded river below.Although Aldridge told the villagers to evacuate ahead of time, farmland and houses were still completely destroyed.There are countless corpses buried under this mountain, and there is always a trace of blood in the air, which lingers for a long time.

"As Evelia said, it would be great if the war could end from now on." Noah looked down at the rushing river. Unfortunately, the situation did not stabilize. The chaotic Suha Kingdom made the entire alliance panic. Just around the corner, the alliance was split apart like never before, and there were frequent conflicts on the borders of the kingdoms. After the Suha Kingdom split, the Holy Tower Kingdom and the Abiber Kingdom became two giants, and they did not get along very well.Without foreign enemies, there must be civil war.

After all, the place is so big and the resources are only so few. Everyone wants more territory and more resources.If you don't take the initiative to fight for it and appear easy-going, others will snatch it from you without leaving anything.

"What do you want to do next?" Noah asked: "Whether it is to attack the Shilan Empire, completely destroy the country, or return to the Northern Alliance to stabilize the situation, I can help you." If you return to the Northern Alliance, you can It is impossible to take care of the affairs of the Shilan Empire anymore. After all, there is a Kansero Mountain Range in the middle. Even if Aldrich conquers the Shilan Empire, he cannot stay and manage this place.

"Although I hate that empire, until now, I don't know what to do. Should I use the lives of civilians in the Shilan Empire to pay off the debts of the Neilbrook people? If I do this, how will I be different from them back then. Aldrich tilted his head and asked, "Noah, where is the root of all this pain?"

Noah said lightly: "In human beings themselves."

Greed, hatred, jealousy, all suffering is born of human beings, but the love and hope to solve these pains are also human beings themselves.

Aldrich and Noah did not return to Epra Peak after a short rest, but crossed the Kansero Mountains and marched towards the Shilan Empire.

According to the news sent back from the battle stone statue, Daniel returned to Banaf City and never appeared again.Even the king's order could not enter Banaf City, which was completely controlled by Daniel.

A month later, Noah and Aldrich came under the city of Bannuf. They looked at the endless emerald green lawn and white city walls, as well as the towering buildings, and felt a little emotional for a while.

There are some differences between Bannuf City and the first time they saw it. All the gorgeous and beautiful buildings of the Temple of Light were burned down, but it has a little more of a street atmosphere.There was a fire here, and that was the first time Noah and Aldrich heard about the Church of Chaos and met Daniel for the first time.At that time, they didn't know that their fate would be so closely linked.

When he and Aldridge escaped from Banaf City, they really did not expect such a day to come.

Aldridge's army was stationed outside Banav City, and he said that as long as he handed over Bishop Daniel of the Church of Chaos, he would withdraw his troops and leave Banaf City.

The two sides stalemate for several days.

During this period, the situation of the Shilan Empire was constantly changing, and the Southern Alliance completely fought over, even reaching the gate of the capital.The other bishops of the Church of Chaos, including the archbishop, were helpless against this situation.They hid in the capital together with the king, and the king didn't have the heart to ask Daniel any more. He was busy writing a peace letter to the Southern Alliance, but the Southern Alliance refused the peace. The tragedy that happened in the Kingdom of Helmert, It deeply made them realize the cruel and bloody nature of the Shilan Empire.Whether it was the Church of Light in the past or the Church of Chaos now, the Shilan Empire's behavior remains the same as before.Their essence is expansion and greed, and the benefits they earn are all based on the blood and sweat of the people of other kingdoms.

Aldrich and Noah were discussing in the barracks, and Aldrich asked, "Will they hand over Daniel?"

"Bannaf City is different from other cities. This is Daniel's hometown." Noah recalled: "He once said that after his family fell, he returned here. And Banafe City is also where Daniel sits. The beginning of the bishop's seat."

This is Daniel's base camp.

The army in Daniel's hands before was the army of the Shilan Empire, and he only gained the command right temporarily.This Bannuf City is the city that Daniel manages to a watertight, and it is where Daniel's real strength lies.When Daniel was flourishing in the Church of Chaos, the first thing he spared no effort to develop was the city of Bannaf. He destroyed the Church of Light here, freed the people from indulgences and endless prayers, and prohibited them from Instead of thinking about gods and prayers every day, he turned his attention to hard work in the farmland and factory.He let people reclaim wasteland and speed up the flow of trade in the market. In just one year, the crop income of Bannaf City has increased significantly, and the population has also increased significantly.

He didn't want to improve the living standards of the common people, and he didn't intend to distribute the extra crops to the common people.But as a matter of fact, people in Banav City are still living much better than other places. As long as they are not oppressed and blackmailed by the Church of Light, their shackles and chains will be less.

Daniel has absolute control over this city, and the people in this city, it seems, should be grateful to him.

Inside Bannerf City.

Daniel was sitting in the castellan's mansion, and Aldrich was camping outside, clamoring that as long as he was handed over, the news that the troops would withdraw from outside Bannaf City also passed for several days.

Daniel's mood, on the other hand, seemed unexpectedly good.

He is pruning the flower branches by the window.

The servant walked in quickly and said in Daniel's ear: "Master, the civilians in the city, I want to hand you over to appease the enemy's anger. They have already rushed outside the city lord's mansion, and the soldiers are stopping them, but I'm afraid they can't stop them." Too long."

The author has something to say: Noah: Bannuf City, I'm back!Miss me!
