Chapter 30: The End and the Beginning

Everything seems to have settled.

In the battle of Salted Fish City, Paladin Gray won a decisive victory. Or rather, humanity has won a decisive victory.

Can Heaven muster the remaining twelve legions of angels and force the war? Of course, but that will take months. And if you do so, you will have unpredictable results. What if they win? The Lich, or the Undead, is best at protracted warfare. They can drag the battle to the end of the day, and the demons who are dragged to the side to watch the play laugh out loud.

The situation at this moment, for Heaven, undoubtedly declares the complete failure of the strategy of faith for the past 10,000 years. What about hell?

Could it be that the mainland regime under the leadership of the paladin will leave room for them?

Justice under heaven's dominance is at least defensive. The faith strategy led by Gray is completely offensive, expansionary, unyielding, like a raging fire, which can burn everything. Everyone can see this.

......

In the abyss, it was so quiet that there was no sound.

The huge picture shows what is happening in Salted Fish Harbor, and the victorious people rush into Salted Fish Harbor with cheers, crowding it to the ground, and lifting Gray, who is already mutilated, into the air, screaming and laughing.

The toad demon involuntarily sighed, "It's incredible, he really did it." Against the will of all, and not by force. He doesn't have much power of his own. None of the endings we've considered were like this. ”

All demons, including the Demon Lord, were silent.

It's not just the abyss.

The same is true in the Light.

At this moment, no Holy Spirit knows what to say about the scene in front of him.

Heaven and hell have been fighting for 10,000 years, and in the end, it is the undead who win. The laissez-faire of the Lich Paladins eventually led the situation to a point where none of them could control it.

Of course, maybe it's not the lich's who wins, it's the humans. After all, humanity has woken up, hasn't it?

......

The sky is full of whistling bone dragons, the ground is a sea of undead, giant trebuchets have been loaded with enchanted stones, splicers are slapping their chests and roaring, and the iron hooves of undead knights are troclung around every corner.

The entire angelic legion was besieged and completely immobile. The lichs lined up in front of them and took turns pretending.

"Help me write two slogans of justice, the kind that should be particularly loud!"

"Two gold coins. ”

"Give. ”

"Okay. ”

"I want it too, I want a hundred gold coins!"

"No problem! guaranteed to be better than the others!"

Morca's "business" was already busy.

Gray was lifted high by the boiling people and walked through the long streets. The black cat crouched on his armor, laughing as he scrambled to avoid falling himself.

All the people of the Holy See, including the four paladins, including the new pope, all the cardinals, and even the four guardian angels, were all tied up in a ball and piled up in the corner of Salted Fish Harbor to be guarded by the soldiers.

"Dear Paladin, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for changing us, for rediscovering the world and awakening us. You are a gift from heaven to mankind. At the same time, we apologize for our bias and ask your forgiveness for being foolish and reckless. "The kings of all nations came to Gray in droves, and knelt down on one knee and saluted. Among them were Benedict II, including Arthur, Jean II, and Barnett III.

Gray stared at them dumbfounded, silent.

Everyone around him, including the people holding him aloft, was silent, all looking at Gray in silence.

The black cat looked at him as well.

Dean asked in a whisper, "Won't the Paladins forgive them?"

"Nope. Gray shook his head and whispered, "I'm just thinking about how to describe how I feel at the moment." Your smile is the best gift I've ever received. I said, I love you. ”

All of a sudden, everyone was boiling.

The banner of the Silver Moon fluttered in the sky above Salted Fish Harbor.

Irene was wounded, riding her horse and smiling with relief as she watched from afar as Gray was tossed high into the sky.

"Wow——! don't throw it, I'm afraid of heights, let me down!" the black cat screamed in horror. Unfortunately, no one understood its words.

In the midst of the flight, Gray smiled heartily, more comfortable than he had ever been.

Finally, he realized his dream of walking calmly in the sun as a lich. Gain people's recognition as a knight. On this road, he went farther than anyone expected at first.

Camilla stood on the other side with only the skull left in her arms, watching from afar, already in tears.

"So, who do we believe in now?" asked the mallet.

"We believe in none of us, in ourselves, in righteousness. Abby Robles, who was on the side, replied softly, and this was the way he showed us: "Humans, I'm afraid we have to embark on a new journey." ”

"Well, that sounds pretty good. The mallet nodded.

Catherine flew back with Shelley, staring at the dense mass of undead in amazement. She slowly descended into the street and put Shelley down.

The people around all around made way for Shelley.

Shelley ran straight for Gray, hugging Gray tightly in the middle of the crowd.

"It's okay, I won. Gray whispered.

Shelley kept shaking his head and gently caressing Gray's face, tears streaming down his face.

The excited people lifted the couple into the air together.

Ebonde, whose arms were full of golden blood, slowly walked up to Catherine's side, stood side by side with her, and watched from afar.

"Didn't you say duty is more important than everything?" asked Catherine with a smile.

"I've changed, but maybe that's who I am. You can't go against your heart. Abd replied softly.

Sarina flew in from a distance with Richie and lowered Richie onto the roof.

Looking at the dense undead around him, as well as the lichs who were still constantly provoking the angelic legions, Richie was also dumbfounded. The scene in front of him was beyond his limited cognition.

There are humans hooking up with the undead knights.

There were humans touching the heads of skeleton soldiers.

A human sniffed the flesh and blood of the splicing monster and showed a disgusted expression: "It stinks, but it stinks even more when I don't take a bath." Maybe I can sprinkle some perfume on you. ”

As he spoke, he laughed to himself. The splicer laughed too.

The land is full of evil creatures, and yet, humans have coexisted peacefully with them. It can even be described as fun.

Someone has even started asking, "Hey, Mr. Lich, hello. I'd like to ask how I can join the Knights of the Silver Moon? I mean, what do I do when I'm dead? I am very interested in following you on this great cause!"

Human prejudice is a big mountain, and you can't move it no matter how much you want to move it. Human prejudice can also be a feather. I figured it out, I was relieved, and maybe in an instant, it would cease to exist.

"Life and death" finally became one at this moment.

The whole world seems to have changed because of him.

In the midst of the celebration, a voice sounded in Gray's head: "Hello, Lord Lich Knight. I am...... Representation of the Holy Spirit. Yes, the same one who ordered the crusade against you. Congratulations on the final victory, in a way we never thought possible. As much as we hate to admit it, you do win. We have no intention of immediately resorting to any counterattack strategy, but we want to get back our besieged Angel Legion. In order to have a mutually acceptable conclusion to this matter, and to avoid further expansion of the war, perhaps we should talk about it. ”

"Okay. Gray replied softly.

......

In the year 11271 of the Quaternary Calendar of the Elven Calendar, and in August 10758 of the Holy Calendar, marked by the "Battle of Salted Fish Harbor" that took place in a small town in the south of the mainland, the human beings who had been sunk for thousands of years finally completely got rid of the ideological shackles imposed on them by the gods and demons and awakened. With the intervention of the Lich Council's supernatural powers, humanity has also completely freed itself from the history of having to rely on gods and demons.

The 10,000-year-long battle of faith between heaven and hell ended in a crushing defeat for both sides at the same time.

At this point, it had only been five years and two months since Gray Grugrew appeared in the surface world as a lich. Yes, five years and two months, a little lich that has turned the whole world upside down. Who would have thought?

In this year, mankind ended the Sacred Calendar Chronology and began a new Silver Moon Chronology. This year is known as the first year of the Silver Moon.

In the same year, at the request of the human race, the Lich Council, which is the highest authority of the undead, announced its dissolution, and then established a closer real power body of the undead, the Holy See of Bone Light. Gray Grugrew was elected as the first Lich Pope, known as the Lich King.

In the same year, the countries of the South formed the Southern Alliance, which transcended national borders. Prince Benedict II of Isaac renounced his right to the throne of Isaac and was elected as the first Speaker of the Southern Union. Prince Bob succeeded Isaac to the throne with Archduke Ilyneen of Bershire as auxiliary minister.

In the same year, the human Holy See, which had existed for 10,000 years, was completely dissolved, and the power of the Holy See in various places collapsed one after another, and was replaced by the Human Holy Light Arbitration Tribunal, which was composed of arbiters elected by various countries. The Lich King Gray Grugrew was awarded the title of Honorary Chief Arbiter. Pastor Dean was elected as the first Chief Arbiter of the Light Arbitration Council.

In the same year, the White Bone Holy Light Holy See announced the "Thirteen Decrees" to sanction the Black Dragon Clan, and the relationship between the undead, humans, and the Dragon Clan fell into an unprecedented trough, and war was about to break out. The Tribunal of Light and the Confederate Alliance cut off all trade routes of the Gustav Empire and declared war on it.

At the same time, due to the undead torn up the tripartite agreement with Heaven and Hell, the Grey Robe Agreement, and formed an alliance with humans, the Lich's power intervened in the world, and the war of faith could no longer be launched, and the basis for the truce between Heaven and Hell no longer existed.

Thus, in the same year, Heaven and Hell lifted the truce that had lasted for 10,000 years, and both sides officially announced that they would directly intervene in mainland affairs. The Quaternary of the Elven calendar, which began on the basis of the armistice, finally ended with the tearing up of the armistice.

Therefore, the first year of the silver moon of mankind has also become the first year of the fifth age of the elves.

No matter what happens, history always meanders and stubbornly moves forward.

A new year, a new history, the glory of Klimasha that has long been forgotten in this land, seems to have been revived again. The old story is over, will the new story happen?

......

"Hey, Lord Editor-in-Chief, you're here too?" Morka spotted the embarrassed editor-in-chief in the midst of the crowd.

"Uh...... Yes, I came along. The editor-in-chief smiled awkwardly.

Morka jumped off the roof and came to the editor-in-chief: "I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

The editor-in-chief said embarrassedly: "Actually, I wanted to come over and see the Lich with my own eyes, so that there would be more interesting topics to write about." You four hands...... Did the lichs make it for you? It's pretty chic. Hahahaha...... I guess it can be faster, right?"

"It's really useless, it's a burden. It's like...... The reputation is the same. Morka spread his hands and smiled smugly, "How's it going? Now you know the power of my Lich Paladin?"

"Yes, I'll admit, I'm blind. I hope you'll forgive me, after all, I have to review so many books every day, don't I? ”

Morka waved his hand and said with a grin, "Yes, I will license "Lich Paladin" to you along with "Lich Paladin Sequel I" and "Lich Paladin Sequel II". ”

"Thank you, thank you!" The editor-in-chief quickly bowed and thanked him, and continued, "There are also 'Lich Paladin Sequel III' and 'Lich Paladin Sequel IV', as well as every sequel after that. ”

"Well, I'm sorry, I don't plan to write about it anymore. After all, the story has come to a relatively happy ending here. I've made enough money and should start enjoying life. ”

"Are you sure? We're going to pay a lot of money to package you, and we're going to give you a minimum of 10,000 gold coins for each book. ”

"Yes, I'm pretty sure, I'm a very principled person. I ......" Morka was stunned for a moment: "Wait, you just said how much is the manuscript fee for each book?"

The editor-in-chief stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand gold coins." ”

Morka was stunned, blinking blankly, looking at his editor-in-chief: "One ...... 10,000 gold coins?"

The editor-in-chief replied earnestly: "Yes." ”

After a moment of silence, Morka hurriedly hooked the editor-in-chief's shoulder and said, "I thought about it for a while, life should still be pursued." Eating and waiting for death is not life, let alone the life of a great writer! I took this task! By the way, will I pay 30% of the first payment?"

"No, no, no, it's too much. Ishikasui. ”

"At least two percent. ”

"Deal. ”

"Happy working together!"

Well, now I'm sure that new stories will happen. Moreover, a new era has arrived!
