Chapter 802 Would you rather die than surrender? Ill help you!
The order announced by Baron de la Mare, who rushed into the battlefield, was so sudden that the lichs who were defending the city were stunned. Baron Stone, who was hiding in the shadows, was even furious.
"Ignore the guy who faked the order! Keep fighting! Hold on to the fortress! This is an order!"
"Yo~" Delama heard someone's hysterical roar, and retorted in a strange way: "Isn't this the 'former' baron of the Ritual Chamber? You are actually still alive."
Delama and the Sage have always had different positions. One is steady and pragmatic, while the other is impulsive and radical. The relationship between the two cannot be said to be on fire, but it is definitely not a good one.
The Ritual Chamber is dominated by lichs, and most lichs consider themselves to be the most rational and intelligent people, and it is difficult to tolerate the objections of others.
Delama and the Sage are no exception. In the Ritual Chamber, where everyone has a high IQ, the intrigue between these two barons has been going on for thousands of years, and no one can subdue the other.
The cunning Sindani never intended to break this situation.
Rather than two subordinates uniting as one, Sindani, who is very suspicious, would rather they fight endlessly.
With Sindani herself in the middle, there hasn't been any big trouble over the years...until today.
However, there is one thing to say, it is not so much that the sage overturned, but it is not that Sindani, who was the tacit instigator behind the scenes, got away with it.
I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.
Even if she is as cunning as Sindani, she cannot guarantee that she will hit the right target every time, but she has never encountered such a serious overturn before.
Due to Denathrius' intervention, the current situation has developed beyond Sindani's control. She can only choose to abandon the car to save the commander, and give up the sage who has served her loyally for countless years.
Delama sneered and announced Sindani's second order: "By order of Marquis Sindani, the traitor Baron Philosheffer Stone, who has colluded with foreign enemies, is deposed from his position."
"Anyone who continues to assist Philosheffel will be regarded as a traitor who betrayed the interests of Maldraxxus. Please consider the gains and losses, and do not make mistakes."
The Ritual Secret Academy may produce many people with bad tempers, but it is obviously impossible to say that these lichs with extraordinary attainments in magic are stupid.
Sindani's cutting attitude is so decisive, no matter how slow anyone is, they should know how to take sides.
Not surprisingly, the lichs who originally stood on the side of the Creation Secret Courtyard and planned to fight to the end lowered their arrogant heads.
Except for a handful of sages who were die-hard loyalists, the vast majority of lichs came to Drama's side honestly and clearly stated their position.
"You...you guys!"
The soul fire in the angry sage's eyes kept flashing, but now that the overall situation was decided, he really didn't dare to continue to stab at this moment.
Delama coldly advised: "Filoshefer Stone, just let him go and tell the truth about the whole story of your collusion with the traitors Gamal and Revendres. Maybe you can get a lighter sentence and alleviate some of the consequences."
offense."
This good show of internal fighting in the ceremonial courtyard dazzled the crowd outside the fortress.
Just as the sage predicted, without the assistance of the lich, the undead structure of the Creation Secret Academy alone cannot stop the crazy attack of the coalition of soldiers. The overall situation of this civil war has been decided.
Except for a few low-level structures that had no wisdom and only knew how to follow orders, most of the soldiers in the Creation Academy lost their fighting spirit and voluntarily put down their weapons and surrendered.
The side effects of Gamar's retirement were evident at this time. If he himself was still on the battlefield, most of these soldiers would not dare to surrender so simply.
By the time Gamal walked out of the castle with his body still recovering, the situation of the battle was already beyond repair.
Although Gamar dragged his wounded body and continued to charge without repentance, it was no longer possible to create any waves with his own strength.
"boom!"
The strength of Gamal's soul, which has not yet healed, has dropped significantly, and his strength has declined significantly.
Without even the help of Oni, Little Star, and Valeera, Sarlayan directly pushed the giant abomination that refused to admit defeat onto the city wall in the form of a giant bear.
"Admit defeat, Denathrius's reinforcements are gone, and you have no hope of making a comeback."
Due to the impact of the injury, Gamal's soul and body were severely damaged, and he could not regain his peak strength without a few years of training.
Blessed by the power of Ursoc's incarnation, Sharlayan was barely able to suppress the powerless Gamal.
"If you have the ability, you... kill me! I... will never... admit defeat!"
Even though he was at the end of his rope, Gamal was still unwilling to bow his head and surrendered, and tried his best to break free from Sarlayan's shackles.
"That's fine."
Sarlayan's beast boy became indifferent, and a silver-white arc of electricity could be seen faintly flashing on his steel-needle-like mane.
"Then, as you wish."
"Boom!"
Using the little bit of guardian power he had just recovered, Sarlayan maintained close contact and directly poured thunder into Gamal's body.
Along with Gamal's shrill scream, everyone on the battlefield was hit by the burst of lightning and their eyes were so painful that they subconsciously closed their eyes.
When all the commotion subsided, Gamar's huge body had long disappeared, and only some light of the soul that had not completely dissipated could be seen at the scene.
These flashing blue light spots are the remnants of Gamal after it dissipated.
"Huh~"
After once again squandering the power of the guardian, Sarlayan sighed helplessly.
"We still need to break through the limits of mortals as soon as possible. Always using external forces to solve problems is not a long-term solution."
No matter how seriously injured Gamal is, his soul is always a demigod. It is difficult for Issalayan's own power to cause fatal harm to him, and he can only rely on the power of the guardian given to him by Laden.
But after all, this power does not come from Sarlayan himself. Before he breaks through to the demigod realm and truly digests this power, the recovery speed of the guardian's power will be very slow, and the maximum output will be reduced.
These are all things for later. At least at this stage, Sharlayan has successfully resolved the civil strife in Maldraxxus that was led by the Academy of Creation.
After all, Maldraxxus is a country that respects the strong. Sarlayan killed Garmal in a one-on-one fight. The remaining men of the Academy of Creation no longer put up a stubborn resistance and simply dropped their weapons and surrendered.
However, these undead constructs with relatively simple thinking circuits did not surrender to the War Lord Faction, but surrendered to Sarlayan, who had defeated the Creator Marquis Gamal head-on.
"Ha~"
Caixus, who had just rushed to the battlefield with Sindani, happened to see this scene, with a meaningful smile on his face under the mask.
Under Kaiksus's signal, the three major secret academies sent by the War Master did not overly embarrass the Tiehanhan in the Creation Secret Academy, but simply took them down and locked them up temporarily.
In any case, these people have followed Gamar and participated in the betrayal of colluding with foreign enemies. Strict screening and interrogation are inevitable.
With the surrender of the Academy of Creation and the change of stance of the Academy of Ceremonies, the long-running civil war in Maldraxxus finally officially came to an end.
Because the "bomb" created by Malygos was too powerful, Sharlayan discovered a very troublesome problem when clearing the battlefield after the war.
No one alive.
All the sinful souls Denathrius sent into Maldraxxus were transformed into the light of souls and merged into the Shadow Realm, transforming into the anima that maintained the operation of the Shadow Realm.
In other words, no one can be used as a witness to identify Denathrius.
Sarlayan felt a little depressed about this situation at first, but after Onyxia's enlightenment, he realized... In fact, this is not a good thing.
Although the civil war in Maldraxxus has ended, the remaining issues between the Academy of Creation and the Academy of Ceremony cannot be resolved in a day or two.
For a long time after that, Maldraxxus was busy with internal affairs and could not attack Revendreth immediately.
In addition to Maldraxxus, Ascension Bastion, which was locked in a dispute over ideas, had too much to worry about, and Ardenweald was not ready yet. The Winter Queen alone was obviously not enough to defeat Denathrius.
Just talking about the Maldraxxus class, the candidates for the barons of the Ritual Chamber and the Creation Chamber are relatively easy to say. At worst, qualified candidates from other chambers can be selected.
The biggest question is... now that Gamar dies, who should inherit the position of Marquis of the Academy of Creation?
The answer is that we can't find a suitable candidate for the time being.
The marquis of the Five Great Secret Courtyards are not chosen casually. The minimum standard is that they must have the strength of the demigod realm.
Even in the Shadow Realm, where countless souls from the material universe gather, demigods are not cabbages that can be picked up everywhere.
Except for a few individuals who rely on their own strength to achieve breakthroughs, most demigods who were born and raised can host their souls in their hometowns and live in symbiosis with the planet.
As long as the planet is immortal, even if they die in battle, the demigods will still have the opportunity to come to the Shadow Realm to read a message to resurrect and return to the world.
After all, there are only a few demigods like Elioser and Stradama who lost their hometowns and had to settle in the Shadow Realm.
Even if there were, many tired demigods would not want to continue working hard after death.
They will choose a peaceful and stable world of the dead and no longer participate in worldly disputes.
"ha?"
In the Theater of Sadness and Death, Sarlayan looked at Caixus with a smile in his eyes in astonishment, pointing his finger at himself in confusion.
"You asked me to act as the acting Marquis of Creation?!"
