Chapter 179: Chapter 40: Divine Judgment_5
After hearing the Chieftain’s account, Xuan Ye was taken aback. He had heard of the formidable power of the Sword of Hades, but he had never thought it could be so tremendous.
"Where did these dead bandits fall? Lead me to them."
"Your Eminence, the Red Bishop, those... those bandits have been buried. The weather is so hot now, I am afraid their bodies have already decomposed, I think..."
Xuan Ye furrowed his brows and said, "Very well, then. Describe in detail the state in which these bandits died."
The chieftain of the Northern Tribes, relieved as if he had been given a reprieve, eagerly embellished his descriptions.
After listening to his account, Xuan Ye sighed in awe. "The Sword of Hades truly deserves its reputation as the world’s most evil weapon. Simply by utilizing the aura of evil, it could capture the souls of ordinary people. Truly terrifying!"
Just then, a man from the Aslan tribe rushed in, "Chief, Chief, something terrible has happened."
The chieftain of the Northern Tribes snapped, "What are you yammering about? Can’t you see the Red Bishop is here? Don’t bother him."
The young man from the Aslan tribe stammered, "But, but the Wolf of the Prairie has arrived."
The chieftain was aghast. "What? The Wolf of the Prairie? How could this be, weren’t they supposed to retreat?"
The young man worriedly replied, "We seem to be outnumbered. There are about two thousand of them, already charging in our direction. Our tribesmen have already gone to resist them, but I’m afraid, I’m afraid..."
Xuan Ye cut off the chieftain, "They are nothing but bandits, there’s no need to panic. Let me go take a look. The gods will bless the Aslan tribe."
The Chieftain, noticing his powerful ally, quickly said, "Please, your Eminence, have mercy on your faithful believers."
Xuan Ye gave a slight nod. He wanted to see exactly how formidable these bandits who had been rampant in the prairies for years were. The Wolf of the Prairie was truly unlucky. They had just lost more than a thousand men at Ah Dai’s hands and now they had encountered Xuan Ye, a force of destruction. Xuan Ye never showed mercy to evil forces.
The Northern Tribes, centered at the oasis, fell into chaos. Two thousand cavalrymen from the Wolf of the Prairie charged in. Despite the tribesmen’s valiant resistance, they were outnumbered and outmatched. In no time, there were already around a hundred casualties.
The Chieftain of the Northern Tribes turned pale. Having suffered such a hard blow within three days, he was completely demoralized.
"Are these the bandits ravaging the prairies?" Xuan Ye asked nonchalantly.
The chieftain hurriedly replied, "Yes, your Eminence. Please, you must save our tribe. These bandits have taken countless lives on the prairies, they are blasphemers against the gods, they are defying the dignity of the gods!"
Xuan Ye cast the chieftain an impatient look, and said indifferently, "The gods will punish these blasphemers. Prepare for the Divine Judgment."
At Xuan Ye’s command, the twelve high-ranking priests accompanying him quickly enclosed him within their ranks, while the Chieftain and his accompanying Aslan tribesmen were ’invited’ by the Silver Armored Judge to step aside.
Xuan Ye was undoubtedly a nightmare for the bandits. He chanted, "Wrath of the Gods, I command thee, imbue thy divine power into my heart, eradicate the evil." With a flash of golden light, the tower-like Wrath of the Gods fell into Xuan Ye’s hands. The twelve high-ranking priests surrounding him began to chant the spell of Divine Prayer continuously, the white Holy Light enveloping Xuan Ye’s body, causing the sacred aura around him to surge dramatically.
"Great Sky God, who possess endless divine power, as your faithful believer, I beseech you to bestow upon me the power of the gods." Beneath Xuan Ye’s feet, a large white six-pointed magic star appeared enveloping his whole body. The Wrath of the Gods flickered with dazzling golden light, making Xuan Ye so conspicuous even under the bright sunlight. The Wolf of the Prairie obviously noticed the situation here and immediately assigned five hundred men to rush over.
