Chapter 1782: Fought Like a Warrior, But Died in Disgrace
Nathan stopped for a moment. In a way, it was true. He understood the plan.
The Asura Palace was strong. Looking at the state of the city, it was clear that this place remained standing even when the rest was destroyed.
It also confused him a little. If this place remained standing, how did the people die?
How did this city fall?
There was only one possibility in his mind.
It was no wonder that the historian in the Asura Palace cursed the other kingdoms. It was a dishonorable way to die.
The wall here was tall and thick, making it impossible for a normal alien to break it. In addition, this place was where the strongest warriors resided. In a way, they could last longer, except they couldn’t.
Nathan looked at Vista and asked with a solemn tone. "What do you think?"
Vista was startled, not expecting Nathan to ask him. He thought for a moment before saying, "What I think is that... this place is a tragedy."
"That’s all?"
"I might be affiliated with the Azilia Kingdom, but the situation is complicated."
"Fair enough." Nathan rose. "Follow me."
Vista was confused, but Nathan led him to another building.
He found Xolotl, Anubis, and Mae waiting for him.
"How is it going?" Nathan asked.
"We’re ready. How do I say this? It’s so long that it takes us this long to prepare it."
Nathan smiled wryly. "I guess... it’s not a pleasant way to die."
"..." Xolotl didn’t say anything. He, too, died not in the way he wanted.
"Shall we use it now?" Mae asked.
"Yeah." Nathan nodded. "Let’s activate the Memory of the Dead."
Vista was surprised that he was allowed to even participate in their activity. He didn’t know what kind of activity it was, but it was surely something extraordinary.
"Let’s begin." Anubis activated the Memory of the Dead.
Mae also activated her illusion, showing everything that had happened in this city.
"!!!" Vista was startled. "This..."
"This is the memory before the fall of this city." Nathan walked outside.
Everyone followed him. Vista was shocked because the people living in this city were actually living as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, he could see aliens on the wall. The soldiers on the wall killed the aliens one by one, showing that they were more than capable of protecting the city.
"Let’s go." Nathan flew to the wall.
Vista could witness the strength of the Asura Palace. It was no wonder that the Asura Palace was feared. Their soldiers were much stronger than any soldiers they had seen.
Back then, summoners hadn’t even existed. Yet, the soldiers easily cut down the aliens.
These aliens might just be proto-class aliens, but they were still stronger than normal humans.
The officers were more than capable of taking down a juvenile class alien. Their battle was truly overwhelming.
Mae said, "They were powerful."
"Indeed, they were." Nathan nodded with a serious expression.
After knowing about the trick to forge the divine body and the true vessel, Nathan knew that there was nothing more he could get from the Asura Palace.
The Asura Palace might be strong, but they were still not strong enough to create a legacy here.
The domain was surprising, but that was all.
This memory might be the legacy of the Asura Palace.
Nathan muttered, "I wonder what would have happened if the Asura Palace still remained intact."
Vista fell silent. It would be a terror. The Asura Palace was already this strong, so if they also got the help of summoners, they would be unimaginably strong.
Nathan continued to walk. "It’s unfortunate that the greatest warriors in the world have to fall in such a way."
Xolotl closed his eyes, sympathizing with these warriors.
"Humanity is foolish. They’re depraved, greedy, lustful... I can continue insulting them for a whole hour and I can still continue.
"Even when there is a common enemy, humanity’s greed will continue to cause problems. They will try to fight each other even though doom is in their path.
"They fear the unknown because they don’t have the control of that unknown. There is simply no limit to them in a good or bad way."
Nathan looked at Mae. "You can fast-forward it."
Mae nodded. There was indeed nothing to be seen. The only thing they would find was the strong soldiers and the pathetic ending of those soldiers.
"What killed the Asura Palace was not the aliens. The ones who killed them were humans.
"In that record, there were two causes of their downfall. The first was the annihilation of their army, while the second was the kingdoms in the north."
The memory turned drastically. They could see that the number of soldiers had been reduced, but the decrease wasn’t significant. They should be able to continue for years as long as they receive a constant supply and reinforcement.
However, after a while, the change in their appearance became significant. The soldiers looked much thinner than they first appeared, as if they hadn’t eaten for a long time.
The brave soldiers went to war and took down the aliens. They were unstoppable.
Sadly, the brave soldiers couldn’t do anything against the force of nature.
"The Asura Palace wanted to create five fortresses while using this city as the sturdy rock that breaks the torrent of the aliens.
"There were three reasons why they wanted these fortresses. The first was for defense. It was obvious.
"The second was to create a strong front and show their resources, making people believe that they could still take down their enemies.
"The last one was the cause of their downfall. It was for food. By creating five fortresses in a ’V’ shape, they could create a haven to provide reinforcement and food.
"However, due to the failure of the fortresses, they couldn’t create a path for food and reinforcements.
"Without reinforcement, the Asura Palace could remain standing for a very long time, but they didn’t have the supply.
"This was the true reason why the Asura Palace fell. Despite possessing unbreakable walls and strong warriors, they simply ran out of food."
