Chapter 402: The Power of the Gods, the Only Hope

Ouch——

A loud wolf howl makes no difference to human ears, but in the werewolf community, it represents countless messages of excitement, fanaticism, awe, and piety.

The werewolf stood up, flames burning on his body. When the flames gradually dissipated, the originally thick hair that could withstand the cold wind and snow in the north and fight against human metal weapons disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by hyperplastic bones that covered his body like armor, but seemed to be grown together with the flesh and blood.

The werewolves followed the will of the great being and attacked the surrounding orcs. The knight was confused by this scene, but he instinctively understood that this was the Baron's help to him.

"What a powerful force this is."

The knight said in shock, his eyes even more awed. He did not dare to look up at the sky, as such a look would be a blasphemy.

On the battlefield, more and more werewolves had flames ignited in their hearts. The source of these flames was the human blood they devoured. Following the last call, the blood responded to Ryan's power and became the medium for transforming werewolves into Dusk believers.

This is the werewolves' fatal weakness. They are strong because of blood, but they are also controlled by Ryan because of blood.

"Earl William's vampire army should... use a similar method."

Ryan felt his emotions were extremely calm, as if his current state had made him lose all human emotions, and he looked at everything around him with pure eyes and wisdom.

The previous anger and unwillingness disappeared, and Ryan even forgot that everything he did was to protect the territory of the Frozen Land Territory. He was enjoying the state and strength at this moment.

The advent of divinity did not make Ryan a legend. It had nothing to do with being strong or weak. This power allowed him to dominate the entire world.

The only sanity Ryan still retained was the spiritual panel that helped him isolate all the unfavorable factors of the origin of dusk, allowing him to still have the simplest human sanity.

He stood on the side of humanity and the position of the frozen land.

“This can’t go on any longer.”

The feeling of dominating the world and turning everything into flames is addictive and intoxicating. Fortunately, Ryan's final rationality allowed him to make a choice.

After a final manipulation of 'his' believers, the dusk flame on Ryan's body gradually went out, and he was suspended in the sky, shaky. Having been a sky knight for so long, he still had not fully mastered the power of this realm.

After landing on the ground, the Stag Legion was still guarding the surroundings, but it was visibly that the pressure on the knights and servants was much less.

Ryan looked around into the distance, and his vision that was originally blazing returned to normal. He looked at the war in all directions, in the mountains and valleys, with some shock.

He didn't know how much time had passed since he took control of the dusk, but the war here had changed, completely changed.

Thousands of werewolves covered in bone armor rushed madly towards the surrounding orcs. They were already strong enough, and now they had even more powerful bone equipment. And most importantly, facing these companions who suddenly turned against them, the other werewolves were still trying to call them to wake up.

This resulted in many werewolves being killed without any resistance, and the orc army of more than 200,000 was thrown into chaos at that moment.

After taking a look at the spirituality panel, the word "dusk" no longer appeared in the column of divinity, and only the giant mammoth was left standing alone.

One hundred and fifty portions of Taisu's Dusk Origin gave Ryan tens of thousands more orc troops. They turned against him and killed other orcs indiscriminately.

"So, Surtur's power when he descended upon the Andara Kingdom was not as great as mine?"

Ryan blinked. Surtur, who was reborn from the flames, seemed a little weak.

However, he didn't know whether he could use his method to calculate. After all, the origin of dusk he used was limited, and Surtur's power was strictly speaking infinite. It might not be so direct for the gods themselves to control their own power.

"In the end what happened?"

On the legendary battlefield, the two legendary werewolf leaders of the Earl clan and the Draco clan looked at the suddenly changing battlefield with some confusion. They just felt the arrival of an inexplicably great will, and they had an instinctive fear in their blood and did not dare to look, because in the face of such power, when you see Him, He also sees you.

In this world, except for Ryan, other lives' reverence for gods comes from instinct.

So by the time they reacted, the war had changed. Thousands of orcs defected. They became brutal and powerful, uncontrollably using all the means at their disposal to kill other orcs. At this moment, the Dusk followers, who were even more powerful than those in the war with the Kingdom of Andara, gradually caused the orc army to collapse.

Knight Mulan was also extremely shocked. After being invited, he also learned about the war here. He originally thought that he was the most critical trump card of the Frozen Territory, but he did not expect that Baron Ryan would have divine grace on him and could use it at any time.

I couldn't help but feel more awe for Baron Ryan.

"Fight back!"

Ryan, wearing mithril armor, drew out his amber sword. In an instant, raging flames swept dozens of meters away. The Stag Legion gathered around him and charged forward.

In front of the legendary knight's sword, these ordinary orcs could not defend against his attack at all. As the orcs continued to fall, the Stag Legion charged and broke through the orc army, and finally saw the blood-red walls in front of them.

The city wall squirmed, and when a slap came over, it realized that it was a human. It retracted its bear paw and bit the orc next to it.

Under the bear's mouth, the orc's body suddenly broke apart, and blood splattered on the armored bear's hair, dripping down the hair to the ground and merging into the liquid in the blood pit.

Ryan pushed aside the armored bear and saw Bogard on the battlefield with a cold look in his eyes, cruelly killing every werewolf that approached him.

This girl who is good at fighting and loves war has been at the forefront of the battlefield since the first second the battle broke out, and she is still standing here now.

The originally active girl was now silent. Only when the orcs approached would she let out a low roar and pierce the orcs' hearts with her weapons.

On the surrounding battlefield, the corpses of the orcs had submerged the thorn bushes. The flowing blood was slowly swallowed by the roots of the thorns, but they could not absorb such a huge amount of blood.

As the Stag Legion broke through the orc army, many orcs on the margins began to lose morale and started to flee in all directions where there were no enemies. On the front battlefield, the werewolf army of Dusk's followers was also frantically chasing other werewolves. Ryan's last will was to let them kill the orcs to the death.

The orc army began to collapse, and it had to collapse. Many of them died in the war with humans, and now the appearance of the Dusk followers made the orc army suffer even more tragic casualties. Especially at the moment when tens of thousands of werewolves and Dusk followers defected, more than ten thousand werewolves died in the instant when they were caught off guard.

The human army rushed out of the fortress. The biggest difference between the fleeing orcs and the human army was that the orcs would only be caught up and killed, but would not be organized to retreat in an orderly manner or defend and counterattack.

This is the characteristic of orcs. When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own safety, allowing humans to capture more heads in the process of pursuit.

"Mortals cannot fight against gods. Only gods can fight against gods."

Ryan looked at this broken war and felt a little emotional. More than 200,000 orcs invaded his territory. What a huge force and what an aggressive orc army.

As a result, the orcs were defeated crushingly in the face of the power of the gods.

You know, even with those tens of thousands of werewolves that have turned into followers of Dusk, the overall strength of the orcs is still better than that of Ryan's side. At worst, both sides are evenly matched.

But the war is one-sided. Numbers and combat power cannot describe such a war. Only all the blood, tragedy and death that appear before our eyes at this moment can witness what this war looks like.

"If the person on the other side of me is also a god, then this war will last until the last life dies."

In the pan-dimensional war between gods, why are there no mortals who can go and never return? Once on the battlefield, no one can come back alive.

It is because of faith that the gods use their great power to make soldiers become their dependents, burning their lives to the last moment for the glory of the gods. Whether the war is lost or won, they will not survive.

A scene like the one in front of us where one side flees will never happen. It is a blasphemy against the dignity of the gods, if the gods have dignity.

The soldiers of the Frozen Territory no longer chased the orcs, but the Dusk followers did not give up. In the moment before death, they all fought with the orcs. In terms of losses, from now on, the orcs were truly facing the biggest losses in this war.

The endless fight between the Twilight followers will leave more orc lives. These Twilight followers will inevitably fall one day, but before that, how many orc lives will they take?

What Ryan wanted was all of it, but this was obviously a little impossible. Moreover, as time went on, the legendary battlefield was no longer so intense. The two legendary werewolves wanted to leave quickly to save their few remaining clan bloodlines.

"These two guys..."

Ryan looked at the legendary werewolf who wanted to evacuate, and shouted loudly to Knight Mulan:

"Keep them!"

Upon hearing this, Knight Mulan did not hesitate and chased after the two werewolves, trying to delay the time for the legendary werewolf to rescue the werewolf tribe.

Several powerful extraordinary people also appeared beside Ryan. Their battle was also over, but they all looked a little embarrassed.

The wizard robe of Master McKen was disheveled, and he looked at Ryan in shock and confusion. He understood what question Ryan had asked him before, but the next moment, something that magicians had been studying for hundreds of years but could not achieve appeared.

He hid his doubts deep in his heart. Ryan did not explain anything, but looked at the violent movement in the distance and said:
"It wasn't long before these two werewolf clan leaders reached the legendary level, and what made them legendary was a drop of blood."

"The blood of the gods."

Werewolves are thirsty for blood, which is the source of their strength and what makes them even stronger. Swallowing the blood of powerful creatures can increase the strength of werewolves, which can be regarded as their own extraordinary path.

In Ryan's previous twilight state, he naturally would not miss the opportunity to try to turn them into twilight followers, but it was impossible. Not to mention the legends, even those werewolves who were comparable to the Sky Knights were impossible.

Being extraordinary is a way to fight against the gods.

This is no wonder. When the supernatural powers rose on a large scale and the nobles of the empire gained control of powerful supernatural legions, the balance of the struggle between theocracy and royal power began to gradually tilt.

Civilians came out of the military fortress and tried to clean up the battlefield. It was not an easy task to deal with so many corpses.

The fire burned in the valley. Ryan wanted to bury the ashes of the burned bodies, but this was still a bit horrifying, so he gave up.

Two days passed like this. During these two days, many people had not yet recovered from the shadow of war and were worried that the orc army would invade again at the next moment.

Ryan sent a number of scouts to the north. He knew very well that for a long, long time in the future, the orcs would probably not invade his territory from the north.

Orcs are not monsters that appear out of thin air. They also need to survive and grow. It takes time for leeks to grow after being cut. No matter how powerful the orcs are, they can't grow faster than leeks.

The final pursuit by the Dusk followers turned the road between the frozen land and the snowy plains of the North into a bright red road.

If the legendary werewolf leader had not finally broken free from Knight Mulan, all the orcs would have died at the hands of the Dusk followers.

"The war in the frozen land was resolved, but the Xiangshan Plain Fortress was lost."

Ryan had no time to rejoice over a victory in the war, as the news from afar made him helpless.

A lot of time had passed. When he received the news, the Xiangshan Plain Fortress had been lost for two and a half days. The wolf cavalry of the Silver Moon Royal Court became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the fortress's morale.

Rosalind, the legendary witcher, was the rear guard of the Xiangshan Plain Fortress. She forced most of the fortress's troops to withdraw, and even 70,000 to 80,000 civilians and slaves were taken away.

The legendary power blocked the Xiangshan Plain, preventing the wolf cavalry from advancing and chasing. But what happened next was that Rosalind was besieged by tens of thousands of werewolves alone, including the Silver Moon Werewolf King who pinned her to the ground.

If a legend faces tens of thousands of werewolves and fights to the death, the legend will probably win. However, once a force of the same level appears, these tens of thousands of werewolves will pose a huge threat to the legend.

Werewolves will consume the legend's physical strength, and any force that comes down does not mean there is no cost or loss. The werewolf's claws can also cause trouble to the legend.

Rosalind was severely injured and eventually escaped by leaving behind the legendary werewolf she had previously captured.

The human defense line returned to Hanshan City County, a county that was initially looted by orcs and subsequently plundered continuously. The nobles of the North Wind Province were even more panicked because the Dragon Blood Warrior Corps and the Flying Wolf Cavalry Corps had suffered heavy losses in the war to defend the Xiangshan Plain Fortress.

The werewolves continued to attack, but no noble was sure that they could resist the powerful werewolves.

These werewolves are different. Under the control of the Silver Moon Court, they will constantly invade human territory. Even if they just plunder and leave, werewolves are different from black goat people. They are bloodthirsty, and their food includes human blood. They will never let humans go.

After reading the battle report, Ryan was at a loss, and he was also a little curious.

"This demon hunter was able to do this. Listening to his deeds, he is definitely a legend who understands compassion and sacrifice for justice."

Ryan was a little puzzled. Rosalind had done too much. As a legend, he actually personally fought against all the orcs in the Xiangshan Plain. Although he was not facing all the werewolves, that was not his problem. It was because even if more werewolves appeared, they could only watch the show from the outside.

This heroic spirit of protecting the humans behind him at all costs is truly touching.

Ryan felt that there must be some reason behind this. Perhaps it was the pressure from the nobles that forced him to do so. However, as a legend, the other party's status and position should be no less than that of a great noble.

Ryan was puzzled, and neither was anyone else.

"Half of the werewolf tribes have appeared in the frozen land territory. How did Baron Ryan defend it?"

Shaya was shocked and couldn't understand why there was also a werewolf invasion in the Frozen Territory. The nobles all knew about this. Although they did not send troops, because of the concerns of the nobles in Lingdu County, the other nobles also understood that the situation in the Frozen Territory was also very serious.

If any problem occurs at any of the two entrances, the Frozen Territory and the Fragrant Mountain Plain, it will be a disaster for the North Wind Province.

The only difference lies in where the opening is, which represents the most serious invasion of noble territories in different regions.

Is it Hanshan County or Lingdu County?

However, unexpectedly, the Xiangshan Plain Fortress, which now had the support of all the nobles, was opened, but the Frozen Territory was still in the hands of Baron Ryan.

"This is what I told you, the only chance."

"Baron Ryan is a legendary commander. Under his command, the army should be able to... defeat the orcs."

Shaya said uncertainly. This was the answer she gave in response to Rosalind's question.

The North Wind Province cannot be lost. This is a situation that the Meyers family does not want to see.

"If there is anyone who can save the current North Wind Province, it is only Baron Ryan."
