871 The End of the Great Battle
The End of the Great Battle
“The altar is a mysterious thing. It seems to symbolize the way of heaven and earth of some sort. Sacrifice, worship, and grant of reward. It’s a transaction, a covenant, a connection. It seems to be related to cultivation?” Li Xiang contemplated in silence, his mind racing with thoughts.
However, he quickly set these thoughts aside. This was not something that could be explored at the moment, but he believed that as long as he continued to grow stronger, he would eventually be able to unravel its mysteries in the future.
The height and angle from which you observed the scenery greatly shaped your perception of it.
“Darn it, that rat actually escaped. How dare he plots against the Orc race! It’d be absolutely infuriating if I don’t catch him with my own hands. Despicable, utterly despicable!”
The Behemoth King’s eyes blazed with golden fury. The ground trembled as he stomped his foot, causing cracks to spread rapidly in all directions.
“Behemoth King, do we continue to fight?”
“Continuing the fight will only result in mutual losses. With your strength, you are indeed qualified to conquer and rule as you desire. Although someone else may have instigated this battle, I am prepared for a fight if that is your wish,” Behemoth King said with a sneer.
Although his tone was tough, it was obvious that he had some intention to retreat. It would only result in more casualties if they prolonged the meaningless fight.
The battle between the two was nothing more than a staged act to lure out the hidden mastermind. However, it was not purely for show. Whoever had the upper hand in the battle would not hesitate to strike a fatal blow against their opponent without showing any mercy.
They both knew that it would not be easy to kill each other.
The Behemoth King’s imposing form and invincible stance proved to be a challenge for Li Xiang. The creature was virtually unbeatable on land, with his ability to heal open wounds in an instant. This terrifying body was almost immortal.
Li Xiang’s archery also filled the Behemoth King with dread. The tower he brought out in the end was truly menacing.
“If you want to fight, then fight!” Li Xiang showed no signs of weakness.
“Your Majesty, our Orc race has suffered significant losses in this battle. We cannot afford further casualties. Moreover, we have already identified the mastermind behind the scenes. We would be playing into his hands if we continued fighting. It’s better to end the war now,” urged the chief of the Fox race as he stepped forward.
“Indeed, Country Lord, this battle has been meaningless from the start. Continuing it would only increase casualties. Now, ending the war is the best choice,” added Huang Chengyan.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, their intentions perfectly aligned.
Their existence was meant to offer a way out for the two kings in times like this.
No one wanted to continue the battle, but everyone had their pride and could not show their weakness. Thus, they had to step forward and provide a solution for both sides.
“You cowards, get down!” The Behemoth King turned and headed towards the Great Wall of Iron Blood. Within a few steps, he appeared below the city wall. He stretched out his hand, and a golden flame instantly fell on Meng Wuming. The collision between the golden flame and the Shadow Nail made a strange sound, and the entire Shadow Nail collapsed from the city wall, turning into a massive nail that plummeted to the ground.
Drip…
Drops of golden blood trickled down from the little Behemoth’s body as his wounds healed at an astonishing speed.
The Behemoth King grabbed him with one claw and turned back to the Orc Army.
“Retreat!”
The icy voice of the Behemoth King echoed on the battlefield. The Orc Army began to slowly gather and withdraw.
This scene was witnessed by countless civilians on the Great Wall of Iron Blood. They were filled with joy and relief.
The Orc Army had brought immense pressure on everyone as if an invisible mountain was weighing down on them. They relaxed with a sense of comfort as they watched the orcs depart.
“Great! With the Orc Army gone, from now on, no foreign race will dare to bully us anymore. Let’s see who dares to look down on the Human race in the future.”
“Kill! Kill! Kill! Our reputation is earned through killing. The Human race is no weaker than any other race.”
“The orcs pose no threat to us. We have repelled them!”
Countless people were overcome with ecstasy, jumping and shouting on the city walls, celebrating with joy.
They were filled with infinite pride.
Whoosh!
At the end of the great battle, a vast and mighty wave of luck gushed into the Kingdom of Dawn from the void.
On Li Xiang’s system panel, all the stats and attributes for the main city had reached their maximum value, signaling that it was ready to be promoted to a royal city at any time.
Once achieving the promotion to a royal city, Li Xiang’s strength and combat power would all experience a tremendous boost.
“Fellow citizens, the fusion of the Myriad Worlds has brought about perilous times, with countless of our compatriots falling prey to bloodthirsty creatures. However, history has shown us that with diligence and unity, we can triumph over all adversaries.”
“Now, our former homeland has been lost, but we are still here. We can rebuild a kingdom for humanity. At this very moment, I, Li Xiang, the Lord of Dawn, officially establish the Kingdom of Dawn!”
“Kingdom of Dawn!”
“Kingdom of Dawn!”
“Kingdom of Dawn!”
…
Countless cheers gathered together and turned into a resounding roar.
Their eyes lit up, their hearts pounding fiercely, and their blood boiling with excitement and joy.
Kingdom of Dawn!
This new nation carried the dreams of countless people.
The fusion of the Myriad Worlds resulted in broken families and a lost nation. Everything they had now was created with their own hands through hard work and sweat. It was achieved through bloodshed, with blades and guns, through battles and duels.
Now, in the Kingdom of Dawn, many people had indeed rebuilt their families and had new homes. However, there was still regret in their hearts. The Human race settlement was scattered and disorganized, lacking a systematic structure.
The influence of the Kingdom of Dawn was limited to the surrounding region of tens of thousands of miles.
Beyond that, it was no longer within their reach.
It was not impossible, but without a systematic plan, established rules, and the implementation of those rules, it was not something that the Lord could achieve.
No matter how large or populous the territory was, without an efficient and organized management system, it would all be futile.
Measures like job mapping, the appointment of officials, and the governance of a region could only be smoothly implemented with the legitimacy of an established kingdom.
Moreover, the birth of a dynasty could foster a strong sense of cohesion among the civilians.
...
Under the rule of Li Xiang, there were thousands of cities in the country, each governed by various country lords who had surrendered in the past. There was a lack of unity without hierarchy and supervision.
Only through the establishment of a country could the hearts of all civilians be united as one to unleash extraordinary vigor.
For the entire human race and its civilians, there were endless benefits to be reaped.
