The one who experienced this most was the reinforcements of the Shilan Empire.They saw the winged humanoid monsters rushing down, and although the difference between a thousand and a hundred thousand was a huge gap in numbers, they were still terrified when they saw those stone statues.These stone statues have snow-white skin and a stone-like sheen, and make a crisp sound no matter what weapon hits.They resemble real stone statues, yet they have very similar faces, nimble movements, and overwhelming strength that even the most skilled sculptors in the Continent of Redras can hardly carve such vivid stone statues.However, their movements reveal a coldness that belongs exclusively to non-living things, and it is precisely such a sense of human-inhuman, distorted between reality and fiction, that makes people feel frightened for no reason.If we talk about the origin of these stone statues, it is actually a chilling thing.The stone statues rushed into the Shilan Empire's military camp, and without Noah's command, they began to slaughter the unprepared soldiers.Their huge wings stand out from the crowd, and they are not warriors fighting alone, but armies that work together and cooperate with each other.The human weapon stabbed the bodies of the stone statues, but only made a clanging sound.In his panic, the general shot an arrow, which stabbed the stone statue and was pulled out casually, without any effect.Moreover, these stone statues can fly, and they are extremely mobile, and they almost make people unable to touch a single hair.Aldrich, who had the power of time, couldn't even last two hours, let alone these ordinary soldiers.In his desperation, the general thought of the same solution as Aldrich, and he ordered his soldiers to cut off the wings of these stone statues.Several soldiers swooped down on the statue and crushed the statue underneath.Several other soldiers swung their swords and slashed off the statue's wings, but the wings quickly grew out of the mutilation.The stone statue seemed to become angry, and it suddenly stood up, flipped over the people on its body, and cut off the soldiers in front of it with weapons in hand.The battle ended quickly, it was just a one-sided massacre, the stone statue captured the general, and the remaining soldiers fled in all directions, they had completely lost the courage to fight.Fighting such a monster has a kind of unwillingness to die in vain.Noah did not chase the remnants of the defeated generals, he grabbed the general and asked, "Do you want to die?"
The general smiled bitterly: Do I still have a chance to survive?
Opportunities are all earned by themselves.Noah smiled.Only then did the general notice that the white-robed young man in front of him, the leader of this group of monsters, was actually a man with a delicate face, a gentle smile, and a very young man.For a moment, he felt that this white-robed young man might be some kind of monster.Who the hell are you?
This army that came out of nowhere wiped out the entire support army without warning, a whole hundred thousand people, what happened to him.It's like being swallowed by a dragon in the next village on the way to suppress bandits.Noah · Abbush.Noah asks: How to call it?
Gaunt & middot; Hall, the Earl of the Shilan Empire, served as a general.The general knew that Noah was so kind to him because he was in complete control of his life, and this power made him calm and gentle, but this did not mean that he had the right to refuse the other party.Noah liked to be so knowledgeable that he had just fought with the statues of the army with them, mainly with them something of value, and then they returned to the air, crossed the Apra Peak, and entered Aldrich's camp.When those battle stone statues appeared in the air, the soldiers in the barracks were already ready for defense, Noah saw that they were using an anti-aircraft formation, shield soldiers covering archers, and a shock-resistant formation, tens of thousands of people did not panic, compared with the combat quality of the previous general's group of reinforcements.After the first battle statue came into attack, a rain of arrows came at the statue.The statue made a clanging sound, and several arrows were inserted into the statue's body, which were pulled out casually, and the gap was quickly restored.It seems that although there is no effect, Noah is distressed, these gaps are not repaired in vain, and all that is consumed are core magic crystals!
Just then, Aldrich appeared, ordered his soldiers to retreat, and then looked up at Noah and spread his arms.Noah flew down from the sky and threw himself into Aldrich's arms.Aldrich hugged him tightly, quickly let go of his hand, and touched his face with some embarrassment.These days, he has not had time to take care of himself, he looks dirty and messy, and he has grown a stiff beard.Before, Ivria couldn't help but tell him about Noah, so Aldrich listened to his subordinates' combat reports, while roughly rinsing his whole body, and also took care of his hair and changed into new clothes.Noah touched his face and said with a smile: I brought you a gift.Well?
Aldrich looked at the battle statues that had fallen from the sky: the ones from the Ark, can you control them?
Noah nodded, he knew that Aldrich was fighting alone and wanted to help him, so he forcibly covered the mark left by the legendary magician, and Julian also helped a lot.The battle statue pushed the gift in front of Aldrich.This is Gaunt & Middot; General Hall, reinforcements sent by the Shilan Empire.Noah said: There are no more reinforcements, and now there is only one general left.Aldrich glanced at him, Gaunt · Halton broke out in a cold sweat and felt like some bug in the way.They returned to the camp, and Aldrich sat on it and interrogated Gaunt; Hall, Noah sat next to him, and Efria came to meet him and said that she was going back.Noah asks: Why is this going back?
You've been going back and forth for so long, not taking a break?
Efria refused directly, and there was no need for so many polite words between them: I was too busy to go back to other things, and I didn't fly like you.Unlike Julian, who can use teleportation magic, the most bitter thing is that she is Efriya, who can only run back and forth on a priceless pure-blooded horse.I can take you back.Noah smiled and said, "Or let the stone statue fly back with you."
Forget it.Ivria waved her hand, and after a while, she whispered: In this case, the war will be over.Her sentence, although it is a declarative sentence, is more like a questioning tone.It's going to be over.Aldrich replied.Efria looked up and smiled, and Noah noticed that the tails of her eyes were slightly red.Efria stood up and lifted the hem of her skirt to them in a standard manner.I wish you all the best of luck.She doesn't like war, but she will do everything in her power to support those who defend her.Noah sent her out of the camp, and when he returned, Aldrich had already touched the current situation of the Shilan Empire.In just a few years, frequent wars have hollowed out a former power.Aldrich said to Noah: The previous Neil Brook Empire was not the first country invaded by the Shilan Empire, but the Northern Alliance was definitely the last.The Shilan Empire insisted on fighting on two fronts, and now both sides have collapsed.The southern coalition began to counterattack, and by the time the general left, the southern coalition had already broken through the border of the Shilan Empire.Now, too, it's time for the Northern Alliance to strike back.Aldrich knocked on the table, he glanced at the general, and asked seemingly casually: General, I heard that you have experienced a hundred battles, so did you participate in the war between the Shilan Empire and the Neilbrook Empire twenty years ago?
The general thought that he still had some questions to ask, and although it was a little strange to mention the long-disappeared Neil Brook Empire, the general still said with some pride: It was in that war that I shined and performed excellently to achieve what I am today.I understand.Aldrich smiled.The author has something to say: today it is full of three thousand collections, excited!
Sprinkle flowers!

Chapter 147 The next day, Aldrich launched the final general attack.The water on the mud has turned to ice, and the Apra Peak is still green all over the mountains, but it can't hide a trace of the bleakness and haste of winter.The sky turned white, covering the world like a hazy veil, and the smell of cold and rusty blood was everywhere between breaths.In winter, Apra is quieter than usual, and Aldrich's army is ready to go, with Noah's battle stone leading the way, and all that Apra has to offer.Aldrich divided his army into three columns, each of which ascended the hill from different directions, which he had not been able to do before because Daniel had about the same number of troops at his disposal, and if Daniel was on the home side, he would inevitably fall into a trap.Now there are those battle statues in front of them, and once they find the traces of the Shilan Empire's army, they can immediately contact each other.Daniel was hiding in a cave and was covered outside, and his attendants came back from outside and said: "The enemy has entered the mountain."
They walked out, and the sky was a dizzying white color.Daniel looked up and watched for a moment, when a white point of light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then an arrow followed the tip of his pen, digging deep into the dirt, and the end of the arrow still trembled.Fall back!
Daniel commanded sharply.Aldrich's army swarmed up from the shadows, and for a moment all they heard was the rumors, and Daniel's army quickly engaged them, and then retreated one after another.At the same time, more and more white points of light appeared in the sky, and as they approached, the soldiers realized that it was a movable stone statue.The Battle Stone Statue rampaged through the Shilan Empire's army, once again replicating the scene of yesterday's defeat of reinforcements.Daniel's army was terrified in the face of such an attack on the stone statue.After Daniel's □□, they are not what they used to be, but after these defeats, they have been feeling hesitant and tormented in their hearts.These strange stone statues look more like God's punishment or the devil's tricks.People kept throwing away their weapons and fleeing, and the Shilan Empire's army was crushed, like a plate of scattered sand, and there were few escapees.Daniel knew that the defeat of the Shilan Empire's army was decided, so he rode on a fast horse and organized the remnants to quickly evacuate.Aldrich was capturing the soldiers of the Shilan Empire, and he had no time to care.Noah gave him a word, and he went after Daniel with a few battle statues.They chased all the way, past the Apra Peak, and ran for miles, and yesterday's endgame was still in place, and Daniel only needed to take a look and know what had happened yesterday.100,000 reinforcements died so silently at Noah's hands that Daniel didn't even get a word of it.In this war, when Noah appeared, the balance of victory was already tilted like Aldrich.Halfway through Noah's pursuit, a stone statue shoots an arrow at Daniel, which is blocked by a cloud of black mist.A dozen gray-robed men stood behind Daniel, forming a vast net and chanting different prayers from their mouths, before black flames rained down from the sky.Noah felt his connection with the aura of light be broken again, the chain hammer fell silently, and Noah rushed up and instantly smashed the head of a gray-robed man in the air, like a watermelon ripe in summer.The rest of the gray-robed ones were not afraid of death, and did not flinch from fear, and they rushed up one by one, stopping Noah's attack with their lives.The grey-robed men all died at the hands of Noah and the stone statues, and Daniel had already fled.Noah sent a battle stone to track down Daniel, and he went back.Aldrich is clearing the battlefield, and the war that has lasted for months is finally over.Aldrich always dragged the battlefield in the middle of the Apra Peak, and did not let the army of the Shilan Empire step into the territory of the Northern Alliance.The civilians of the alliance were also spared the tragedy of the southern kingdom of Helmert.In war, human life has completely lost its value and dignity.Over the years, far more people have died in war than in disasters and famines.The laws of any country regard the killing of one's own kind as a heinous crime, but in the unusually distorted context of war, they take slaughter and pillage for granted.Those weapons can also easily slash at civilians who are defenseless.Noah said to Aldrich: Daniel has escaped.Aldrich said: "We have to catch him.Noah nodded, and he stood on the peak of the mountain and looked around, there was still a flooding river below.Although Aldrich evacuated the villagers ahead of schedule, farmland and houses were still destroyed.Countless corpses were buried beneath this peak, and the smell of blood lingered in the air for a long time.As Efria said, it would be nice if the war would end here.Noah looked down at the unstoppable rushing river, but unfortunately, the situation did not stabilize there, the chaotic Suha Kingdom made the entire alliance ready to move, the alliance was unprecedentedly divided, the borders of the kingdoms clashed frequently, after the Suha Kingdom was divided, the Kingdom of Santa and the Kingdom of Abib became two giants, and they did not get along very well.If there is no foreign enemy, there will be a civil war.After all, the place is so big, the resources are so small, and everyone wants more land and more resources.If you don't take the initiative to fight for it, if you appear easy-going, others will snatch away what you have left.What do you want to do next?
Noah asked: Whether it is to attack the Shilan Empire, completely destroy this country, or return to the Northern Alliance to stabilize the situation, I can help you.If you return to the Northern Alliance, you will no longer be able to take care of the affairs of the Shilan Empire, after all, there is a Cansero Mountain Range in the middle, and even if Aldrich conquers the Shilan Empire, he will not be able to stay and manage this place.I hated the Empire, but I don't know what to do about it until now.Using the lives of commoners in the Shilan Empire to pay off the debts of the Neilbrooks?
If I do that, what difference will I have from the people I was?
Aldrich tilted his head and asked, "Noah, where is the source of all this suffering?"
Noah said lightly: in the human race itself.Greed, hatred, jealousy, all suffering arise from human beings themselves, but the love and hope that solves these sufferings are also in human beings themselves.Aldrich and Noah rested for a while, and instead of returning to Apra, they crossed the Canscerro Mountains and marched towards the Shilan Empire.According to the news from the Battle Statue, Daniel returned to Banaf City and was never seen again.Even the king's orders could not enter the city of Banaf, which was completely controlled by Daniel.A month later, Noah and Aldrich approached the city of Banaf, and they looked at the endless green lawns and white walls, and the buildings that stood in them.There were some differences between Banner City and the first time they saw it, the gorgeous and beautiful buildings of the Temple of Light were all burned down, but it had a little more of a market atmosphere.There was a fire here, and it was the first time Noah and Aldrich heard about the Chaos Church and met Daniel for the first time.Little did they know at the time that their fates would be so closely linked.When he and Aldrich fled from Banner, they really didn't expect that one day.Aldrich's army was stationed outside the city of Banaf, and he said that he would withdraw his troops from Banaf City as soon as he handed over Daniel, Bishop of the Chaos Church.The two sides were at a stalemate for several days.During this period, the situation in the Shilan Empire was constantly changing, and the Southern Alliance completely attacked, even to the gate of the royal capital.The other bishops of the Chaos Church, including the archbishop, were helpless about the situation.They hid in the royal capital with the king, and the king had no intention of holding Daniel accountable, he was busy writing a letter of peace and sending it to the Southern Alliance, but the Southern Alliance refused to sue for peace, and the tragedy that happened in the Kingdom of Helmer deeply made them realize the cruel and bloody nature of the Shilan Empire.Whether it was the original Church of Light or the current Chaos Church, the style of the Shilan Empire was the same as ever.Their essence is expansion and greed, and the profits they earn are built on the blood and sweat of the people of other kingdoms.Aldrich and Noah discuss in the barracks, and Aldrich asks: Will they hand over Daniel?
Banaf City is different from other cities in that it is Daniel's hometown.Noah recalled: He once said that after his family fell, he returned here.And the city of Banaf is also the starting point of Daniel's ascension to the bishopric position.This is Daniel's home base.
