Chapter 141 Both Sides Suffer (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Nasir Town.
The sky gradually darkened. Chris, with an expressionless face, had just left Baron Hoven's mansion. Without any hesitation, he took Archibald and went straight to the manor to find Vanessa.
He had never felt this way before, but after this experience, Chris wanted to meet Vanessa very much and hug her tightly in his arms.
On the way back to Fisher Manor, he and Archibald were stopped by an elderly couple with their daughter.
The daughter looked at Chris with eyes full of admiration. As he grew up, the handsome Chris often saw similar looks and encountered many girls' explicit and implicit hints, but he didn't care at all.
The old couple standing nearby were a little scared, but they still smiled respectfully and asked humbly:
"Dear Mr. Chris! Do you know where my son, Ans, is?"
"He heard that your family was recruiting, so he signed up to join the ship. In fact, that brat chose to join just to be a hero in front of his sister, because his sister always said that you, Mr. Chris, are the most powerful hero and no one can compare to you."
"If we hadn't heard that the war was about to be won, we wouldn't have agreed to let him go out to sea. But he always said that he believed the Fisher family would definitely be the winner of the war, so we don't have to worry about any danger."
The old couple was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Chris, why didn't we see him among the people getting off the ship, Ans? Is he still working on the ship?"
“He, he…”
After hearing this, Archibald, who was usually talkative, blushed and didn't know what to say.
The two men did have some impression of the name Ons, a young man with a baby face. When the Fisher family was verifying the identity of the body, they had a hard time putting his head together after it had been cut in half.
Chris had a blank expression on his face. He used to be a very quiet person and even thought language was ugly and stupid.
But at this moment today, I clearly wanted to speak, but I had no idea what to say.
The old couple were still full of respect and confusion, while the girl's eyes were full of admiration.
It's getting darker.
He couldn't actually say anything.
——
In Phipps Port, the Linglu Family was being besieged by two priests of the Poseidon Cult and many of their subordinates.
Six of the seven priests of the Poseidon Cult were all dispatched to pursue the defeated soldiers, and the division of labor was very clear. Except for Priest Walan who was responsible for capturing Xiaoyu, the other five priests were all hunting down the Viscount's family.
"We, the Siat people, the Lord of Redemption, and the Lord of Storms will not let you go!"
The head of the Linglu family is a woman. She uses the power of her blood to call out a phantom beast in the shape of a spirit deer, which constantly takes the lives of her enemies.
“Woo!”
A son of the abyss that rose high in the sky roared down and finally sank the flagship of the Linglu family. Even the head of the Linglu family fell directly into the water.
After another half an hour of fighting, the Linglu family was finally slaughtered. The extremely angry female head of the family released the powerful power of the forbidden artifact and instantly cooperated with the phantom beast to kill a priest of the Poseidon Cult!
Later she also died in battle, her body was eaten by the sea creatures, leaving only her head which was stepped on by the priestess Qinglan.
The surviving priest Qinglan stared at his dead companion in silence for a long time. The relationship between the two was not good in the cult, but he was not very sad.
Qing Lan muttered to himself, "If her last target was me, I would be the one who died. I'm pretty lucky."
Suddenly, a sea creature emerged from the water and said a lot in gibberish.
"What did you say?"
Qing Lan was extremely shocked, and said with a slight tremor in his body:
"The Deep Blue Sage is dead?"
"He and two other priests besieged Viscount Best's Lion Family, but he was killed by Best! And the other two priests just ran away?"
"Moreover, the illegal extraordinary force led by the Sapphire Priest who was chasing the Thunder Claw family did not succeed in killing Viscount Thunder Claw. Instead, they were almost killed by Viscount Xavier who launched a surprise attack in return?"
Apart from High Priest Tianlan who was promoted to the level of monarch, the highest-ranking person in the Poseidon Cult is the sage Shenlan who is responsible for arranging all military operations.
He was a very smart and wise young man. His health was not very good, but he could usually see through people's thoughts with just a few glances, and he possessed extremely powerful magical powers.
It was because of his efforts that the Star Embraceers and the Last Blood were willing to cooperate with the Poseidon Cult in the war, and some people within the Church of the Storm were willing to reveal a powerful inheritance that could more stably promote the monarch and provide a lot of resources because they were caught with a fatal handle by the Sage Deep Blue.
But he died just like that!
After listening to the battle report, Qinglan fell into deep silence.
Now, High Priest Sky Blue has been knocked unconscious by the forbidden artifact of Bishop Storm, and the far-sighted sage Deep Blue has suddenly died in battle. The Poseidon Cult is no longer without its most core leader.
Next, their immediate counterattack on the East Coast might not be the best option.
Fortunately, among all people, only his brother, Priest Valan, would be safe, because he was only responsible for some small fish and there was absolutely no risk of capsizing.
"However, we can't rely on that guy's current strength."
She suddenly felt very sad and regretful. Ever since she started to provoke the Storm Church and ordered its followers to attack various places on the East Coast many years ago, the calm and thoughtful sage Shenlan had begun to lay out the current plan.
Finally, the armies of the Church of the Storm and the Syat people were defeated and even collapsed at the preset location just as Sage Deep Blue had expected, and finally they successfully dealt with the Roaring King, who was full of killing and was insane.
However, they themselves suffered heavy casualties in the pursuit. After several years of war disadvantages, the people on the island were filled with fatigue and pain, and were simply unable to expand their victory.
"If the Star Embraceers and the Last Blood hadn't suddenly held back during that battle, High Priest Sky Blue wouldn't have been in a coma until now, and everything would have been completely different!"
She discovered with great sadness that the Poseidon Cult had finally become a knife to kill the Storm Bishop.
In fact, the Deep Blue Sage said from the beginning that Syat and the Storm Church still had a strong foundation, and even if they succeeded in killing a Storm Bishop, the final situation would not change.
But after this battle, the future of the East Coast will become even more chaotic, and it will be unclear who will ultimately reap the fruits.
Qinglan really couldn't understand. The Lion Family only had two extraordinary people who had achieved qualitative change, while the sage Shenlan was already an extraordinary person who had reached the transformation period. He was even more powerful than ordinary extraordinary people who had achieved qualitative change. He would have the opportunity to be promoted to the monarch level in a dozen years.
Why?
With high morale, he killed two with three men, and in a sea environment, and with the support of the powerful Son of the Abyss, the extremely intelligent Sage Deep Blue would still be defeated by Viscount Best?
Qinglan couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Bester, what kind of monster are you? No wonder the sage Deep Blue once said that you are not a fox leading lions, but a demon disguised as a lion."
——
The town of Nasir has been fortified by the armies of the Dawn Family and several baronial families, and everyone is on high alert, ready to meet the next offensive from the Poseidon Cult.
The result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Several days passed, and the strong counterattack that was supposed to come from the Poseidon Cult still did not appear.
Finally, an extremely important news came. Viscount Bester showed his prowess in the naval battle and successfully killed the Syat people’s number one enemy, Sage Deep Blue, at the cost of being seriously injured!
Everyone was extremely excited, and the news that the Fisher family had killed the priest Valan of the Poseidon Cult gradually spread throughout the entire east coast.
Everyone was shocked after hearing this!
The Fisher family, who were once called cowards, vampires, and giant squirrels of the East Coast and had never been to the front lines, suddenly became heroes in the war!
The information about the Star Embracing Society and the Last Blood was also successfully delivered to the headquarters of the Church of the Storm. The Cardinal of the Eastern Region of the Church of the Storm, who was far away in Cania, immediately convened a joint meeting with the Church of Redemption and the Silver Moon Church.
They finally decided to send more people to intensify the suppression of several heretical groups, but the division and chaos within the Orthodox churches could not be stopped.
Ten days later, all the nobles received definite news.
The war is over!
Although the Church of the Storm did not hold peace talks with the Cult of Poseidon and there was no written agreement, both parties, who were both hurt, tacitly stopped the war, cleaned up the mess, and did not mention the option of attacking again.
The Dawn family and several baronial families also left the town of Nasir with their armies.
The Lion Family took the lead in escaping, causing the army to collapse collectively, which was an unforgivable crime, but for some reason, Zain, who had cursed the most at the beginning, suddenly stood on Best's side.
The most powerful Roman family in Syat also told everyone that Viscount Best had made a strategic retreat to lure the enemy into further pursuit. In the end, the tactic was successful and the actual leader of the Poseidon Cult, Sage Shenlan, was killed.
Not only did he not commit any crime, but he actually did a great deed!
The Syat royal family did not object to Duke Roman's opinion, so no one in the country would have any doubts.
The war ended, leaving behind devastation.
The Poseidon Cult successfully killed the Roaring King of the Storm Church at the cost of the lives of tens of thousands of island residents and seven priests, and tore apart the extremely fragile order of the East Coast Province. The only benefit they gained was the promotion of the high priest Tianlan to the new monarch.
Half of the priests of the Storm Church were killed, including the most important Storm Bishop, King Booming. The five baron families among the Syat people and the Viscount family were completely destroyed. Most of the other families were also severely damaged, especially the Thunder Claw family that was being pursued. Except for the head of the family, there was almost no adult family member left alive.
There were no real winners on either side, but the civilians were relieved and cried, thinking that peaceful days were finally coming.
