Chapter 98: Your Glory Will Persist Until the End of the World

The s.p.a.ce within the ring was very small. It had a height and breadth of five meters. Inside it, there were 30 darkness crystals, 13 thousand gold coins, an epic level battlesword, and nothing else.

“How poor…” William picked up the darkness attribute battlesword and waved it a few times. It was long and somewhat heavy. But, it felt quite nice to hold.

After all, the devil was tall and study. He was more than two meters tall and practically had been a muscle man.

Although the middle-level battlesword was of epic quality, it had good attributes and attacking power.

But it was not very useful to William as he did not like to use it. It wasn’t much help to Eric and Alec either, as although they had trained their darkness battle energy, they were not soldiers.

Of course, an ordinary middle-level professional would not care much about the rest. His focus would just be,

It is an epic level!

It was good enough to have something to use. Even if the battle energy attributes were not suitable, it had just been something he got for free.

“It is still a treasure. Keep first, think later.” William stuffed the two-meter long sword into the s.p.a.ce ring.

His opinion of professionals who trained darkness battle energy was not very high. To him, they were like dark warlocks.

Except for the players, any NPC that trained their darkness battle energy (magic) had to immerse themselves fully into the darkness. To use that power, they had to understand, a.n.a.lyze, and explore the darkness.

Only this way, professionals with darkness attributes would be able to achieve a breakthrough and level up.

But once they got with the darkness, they could not help but have the desire to go to the Dark World.

Everyone knew that the Dark World underneath the abyss had the most pure darkness. If someone wanted to become a true expert, understanding the Dark World would be the best way.

The majority of the darkness trainees all felt that they had strong willpower and would not be tempted by the darkness.

Thus, they went to check on the dark creatures and even the devils. They tried to find a way to advance using these creatures.

However,

These NPCs were obsessed with the darkness attribute and used various methods to get into contact with the Dark World. Naturally, it was just a matter of time before they were targeted by devils. Devils would use various ways to attract humans, turning them into pure darkness followers step by step.

Over time, many people became spokesmen of the Dark World.

Makhu Redd was such an example. He gave up his ident.i.ty as a human in order to become stronger, and he used all sorts of vicious methods to please the devils.

The devils did so to obtain sacrifices and to gain a chance to enter the world of light for the long-term.

The devils had started planning for this since the start of the era. It was time to move.

It had to be emphasized.

The results of the war were very good!

The core strength of the Dark World was made up of the demons. They formed the vanguard army and infiltrated the G.o.ds’ continent!

The infiltration war that lasted for several thousand years was full of injustice.

The infiltration of darkness was the main reason for the decline of elves, the main race on the G.o.ds’ continent. In the end, the whole G.o.ds’ continent suffered. It was the price they had to pay.

The elves had retreated from the continent, and humans became the protagonist of the new era. The demons had completely failed, and the gate of darkness was destroyed for G.o.d. They did not even get the chance to return to the Dark World. They could only live in the G.o.ds’ continent for the rest of their lives.

But their lives in this world of light, even though they had once been almost equal to the devils, did not turn out to be easy. Dark creatures had to adjust to the bright world, they had to reduce their bloodline. And, the stronger their bloodline, the more they could not bear the world of light. Unless this world also descended into darkness, their lives were destined to be spent in difficulties!

There existed only very few demons now. There were just three million demons in the entire legendary continent.

They hid in remote icy areas, or in rainforests that elves did not like to live in. They even hid deep inside caverns and could not see the light of day. Even Orcs lived better lives.

Although some demons built cities in remote areas of the legendary continent, the area that they occupied was very poor. There were very few resources, as well.

The legendary continent was very vast. The human nations had not developed many resource-rich areas. How could they spend military power to fight the demon cities?

“Darkness crystals? They are used to train darkness battle energy (magic). They give twice as much experience as usual and aren’t cheap either. I will see if there is any opportunity to sell them.” William also knew that there was a Palace of Darkness in his territory and that the dark warriors and dark warlocks would be interested in this item.

After all, one could not choose the attribute that they awakened. Some people awakened the darkness attribute without willing for it. They just did not touch the moral values of humans. Some dark warlocks chose to train their dark magic and did not become evil demon kings.

The City of Dawn again welcomed a victory.

When the Dawn Army returned to the city, loud cheers from over a thousand people awaited them.

William had made plans for it beforehand. Even before the troops set off, he especially brainwashed the people by releasing propaganda.

‘There is a Devil’s Den near the city. If it is not eliminated quickly, countless devils and dark creatures would appear. Then, the City of Dawn would be in danger.’

It meant that the City of Dawn was fighting for the right cause.

After all, he said similar things every time he attacked other tribes, that they were a threat to the City of Dawn…

It avoided criticism.

This method was rather effective. It had never failed as a large majority of civilians did not like to use their brains. Most of them were idiots.

Smart people definitely existed among them, but they often chose not to speak.

The Dawn Army returned in victory. They would be rewarded handsomely.

When the troops fought, rations and money were needed.

The City of Dawn had seen many battles lately. They still had rations, but not much money was left.

A new reward ceremony was held.

All the soldiers, mercenary soldiers, and mages who partic.i.p.ated in the battle, as well as the Temple Knights and Pastors from the Temple of Light, stood neatly at the central plaza. To win the hearts of people, William did not mind using money. He was trying to gain favor from the people of the Temple of Light.

The nearby streets, houses, and even the roofs were filled with civilians who wanted to watch the scene that was taking place.

Many elves in the new city also came to watch the ceremony. 70 to 80 thousand people had gathered. This had become a grand occasion in the City of Dawn.

William took off his broken armor. The rotted Sword of Thunder in his hands also disappeared in a flash of light. He slowly walked out with heavy footsteps, as everyone turned their eyes at him.

The moment he walked onto the stage, he was greeted with a warm welcome!

“We are here to see our Lord!”

“We are here to see the Son of Glory!”

“We are here to see the G.o.d of War’s son!”

The soldiers shouted these t.i.tles, loud and clear. They had personally witnessed their Lord’s powerful bearing. He was a Lord worthy of respect, an expert that they were naturally willing to submit themselves to.

William gestured for them to quiet down. He did not deliver a lengthy speech, and instead just said in a solemn and quiet tone, “330 soldiers died, 64 were severely injured, and 1351 suffered slight injuries.”

“This is the highest number of injuries since the City of Dawn was built.”

When the soldiers heard this, they became sorrowful. The deaths of their comrades made them feel a sense of regret. Everyone knew the price to pay for joining the army, there were no wars with no deaths. They had to be prepared to welcome the arrival of glory.

But some of the civilians could not stop crying. Most of the 330 soldiers, except a few orphans, had families…

In a normal family, the death of an adult male who could support his entire family was like a descent from light to darkness.

When William saw that the atmosphere had settled a bit, he continued. “As soldiers, they died with glory. They died for honor. They died for their families. They died for you, for the safety of the City of Dawn.”

“I cannot revive them. But for all those who died in war for the City of Dawn.”

“I can make their glory persist until the end of the world!”

At this moment.

He pointed to the south and shouted, “Down there are sheer cliffs and precipices. Down there is the moat of the City of Dawn. That cliff will be the gravestones of our fallen soldiers. I will have their names carved into that rock. Their glory will not go in vain. Let it be respected by all.”

Just as he finished his words,

No matter whether it was the soldiers, mercenary troops, or civilians from the City of Dawn, or even the other elves and Dwarves, they could not help but hold their breaths. What was this?

This was true glory!

Allowing a soldier who had died in battle to be remembered forever, and to be remembered by everyone, was true glory!

William’s words touched the hearts of the soldiers from the Dawn Army and the mercenary troops. Their undying loyalty was not a joke. Everything was for the soldiers who had died for the City of Dawn, including the mercenary troops, as well as the Temple Knights and the Pastors from the Temple of Light…

William pointed his sword to the sky. His voice was as loud as it could be. “I, William Blackleaf, pledge to forever preserve the glory of those soldiers who died in the war. Their families, City of Dawn will take care of them. I will not die. I will not allow any of my people to starve.”

“My glory will be your glory!”

At that moment.

Loud cheers appeared.

It was deafening.

It resonated through the skies.

Their increasing affinity almost caused William’s notifications to explode…
