Chapter 249 Stability in the Northern Lands
The Shadow Knights' actions greatly surprised the survivors in the north, as if they were gods descending to save them.
Therefore, whenever they saw the Black Death appear, they would worship it.
Ty Sniff, the overlord of the North, disappeared after the great battle between the angel Yan and the demon.
At this moment, he is using the power of the Shadow Knights to begin rebuilding the tribe.
While the Shadow Knights purged the demons in front, he gathered the survivors behind them.
In just one day, he gathered tens of thousands of survivors together and began the work of reclaiming the northern continent.
He also erected sculptures for those Shadow Knights, their black figures etched into the landscape.
Of course, these Shadow Knights didn't understand, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.
They've been through this kind of thing many times, so they're used to it.
In the following days, the Knights led by Salare headed straight north to investigate the anomalies there.
But the deeper you go, the more shocking it becomes, because there are countless corpses of demons along the way, making it a graveyard for demons.
"Salare... Lord, what is this?"
A knight stared in shock at the sea of corpses before him, his voice trembling as he asked.
"It's inexplicable. Perhaps only by continuing north can we find the answer."
Salare gazed northward, his face extremely grave and pale.
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil. What kind of being could slaughter such a number of demons?
Anyway, Ty Snef didn't have that ability, otherwise his tribe wouldn't have been completely wiped out.
At this point, Salare's eyes flashed, and he murmured:
"Perhaps finding Ty Sneef will solve the problem."
"Let's go, keep going."
Salare gave the order loudly, then spurred his horse and galloped away.
The ruins were a mountain of corpses, and there were bodies everywhere, including human remains but mostly the remains of demons.
In just a few days, Ty Sneif regained control of the north, though with only a few remnants of his army.
But now that the demonic threat is gone, they are rebuilding their home step by step.
The first priority is dealing with the corpses. The bodies of our fellow countrymen need to be carefully buried and marked with tombstones, while the corpses of demons can only be burned, making the cleanup more efficient.
Otherwise, once the corpses rot, plagues and other diseases will sweep across the north, which would be no less than a national catastrophe.
A few days later, Sarayan arrived at the northern core area as he wished, and finally met the former overlord of the north, Ty Sniff.
When he first met Sarayan, he didn't give him a friendly look. Although he had been fighting with these southern guys for years, he didn't understand the principle of mutual dependence in the face of the demons' slaughter.
To this day, they remain steadfast on the border, never crossing there to enter the north and fight the enemy together.
Although it's only human nature and he has nothing to complain about, from a purely human perspective, they are being a bit heartless.
You have to understand, an entire country! Millions, even tens of millions of lives were lost; it was simply hell on earth.
Fortunately, an angel appeared. Although we don't know what the outcome will be, judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be too bad.
The appearance of the Black Reapers later completely reversed the situation in the North.
The slaughter and cleansing of countless demons gave these survivors hope.
Sarayan felt rather helpless looking at the unfriendly eyes of the survivors.
The effects of years of fighting between the two countries cannot be simply forgotten; this is a situation resulting from long-term confrontation.
Although the tragedy in the north made the south tense and fearful, it was hard to say that they were truly saddened; at most, they felt a little sympathy.
Who told you, Ty Snef, to start wars of faith all the time?
Looking at Sarayan, who lingered for a long time, Ty Sneif sighed helplessly.
He used to fight for his faith, but some of his beliefs changed when he saw the angel who fought for them.
It turns out that our beliefs were not wrong; in the eyes of angels, they treat everyone equally.
Moreover, he learned about it during the few days he spent with that beautiful angel.
The Super God Academy he believes in is not in an adversarial relationship with angels; sometimes they are even collaborators.
What was once called a battle of faith now seems like a joke.
Therefore, he no longer harbors as much hostility towards the Southern Holy Kingdom of Ailan and their King Annie Eld.
Arriving at Sarayan's knightly order, Ty Sniff plopped down on a large rock.
Looking at the few remaining members of the tribe bustling about, he sighed:
"After experiencing this disaster, I realized how cruel and ridiculous war is. Ever since that angel descended on the northern land, our war of faith has been a joke, and then those black ghouls of death came.
Our world is too small. Perhaps in their eyes, our war is like children fighting, childish and foolish.
Go back and tell Annie Eld that the North will not start another war, and let her focus on developing the kingdom!
Perhaps one day in the future, we will cooperate again.
Ty Snef said something quietly, then got up and walked towards the camp. He had too many things to do and didn't have time to chat with Sarayan.
Seeing this, Sarayan finally couldn't help but ask:
"Commander Snef, can you tell me what exactly happened in the North? What's the deal with the angels? And what's this Black Death you mentioned?"
Ty Sneef paused for a moment, then said:
"Evil will ultimately be unable to withstand the judgment of justice, and our faith will be rekindled. The descent of the gods is their response to us, and we should remain in awe."
After saying some ambiguous things, Ty Sneef ignored Sarayan and strode off toward a new future.
"A god descending?"
Sarayan muttered a few words, and a sudden realization dawned on him.
At this moment, a knight approached and whispered:
"Lord Salayan, what do we do now?"
Sarayan did not respond immediately, but gazed into the distance behind the dozen or so black sculptures in the center of the tribe.
Then he said:
"Let's go back! There's no need to explore this place anymore."
"understand!"
The knights breathed a sigh of relief. Although they hadn't encountered any danger along the way, the shocking scenes had left a deep shadow on these ordinary people. Now, all they wanted was to return to the south and lie in the arms of their wives or beautiful girls who needed their comfort to soothe their young hearts.
So, having ventured north to gather intelligence with the resolve to die, they ended up heading back in a daze.
Everything was so unpredictable; perhaps only their wise Empress Annie Eld could understand the deeper meaning behind it all!
