Chapter 1980: Shocking News!
Another ten minutes passed, and the battle finally ended.
The main force of the Bright Church, totaling 80,000, along with Thomas and the other two who rushed for reinforcements, all fell permanently by the Thor River. Years later, their bones will rest on this land.
As for the Sky Net side, apart from a few people who sustained minor injuries, it was practically zero casualties!
This was definitely a great victory!
Upon hearing the result, Long Qie and the others were incredibly excited!
Even Xiao Zheng had a slight smile on his face. After all, before the decisive battle, his bottom line was to keep his side’s casualties under a hundred. Now, with no deaths and an easy victory, he was naturally very pleased.
"Everyone did a very good job in today’s battle."
"When we return, there will definitely be plenty of rewards for you!"
Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
After hearing his words, countless cheers erupted around, even the cleaning of the battlefield became much more enthusiastic.
At this moment, Long Qie walked to Xiao Zheng’s side and asked, "Mr. Xiao, now that this war has almost determined the victory, what is our next plan?"
"Should we directly pursue the victory and attack the Holy Land of the Bright Church, or should we retreat first to rest?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng replied, "Everyone has worked hard today, so let’s go back and let everyone have some rest. After all, the Holy Land of the Bright Church is not going anywhere, it won’t run off. It doesn’t matter when we go, it won’t delay the overall plan."
"Got it, then after they finish cleaning the battlefield, we’ll withdraw to Song City." After saying this, Long Qie turned and left.
The entire battlefield was cleaned for about twenty minutes.
It was clear that everyone had harvested quite well, and each person’s face was filled with the joy of harvest.
Xiao Zheng did not require them to hand over what they collected to be confiscated, but rather let them keep it for themselves. Once everyone had gathered, they left the battlefield together.
By the time they returned to Song City, it was already noon.
After entering the city, Xiao Zheng announced the disbandment and let Long Qie and the others go back to rest.
As for Xiao Zheng himself, he left Song City again, flying back to the Netherworld King Temple. He planned to talk to Hades about the matter of Thomas and the other two.
After all, the sudden appearance of three Supreme Realm strongmen from the Bright Church seemed rather strange, no matter how you looked at it.
Soon, Xiao Zheng arrived at the Netherworld King Temple.
However, to his surprise, Hades was not in the temple.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but feel curious because Hades never left the temple casually, and her sudden disappearance now must mean something had happened?
Thinking of this, he stopped a passing attendant and asked, "Do you know where Hades went?"
Hearing this, the attendant first saluted him, then respectfully shook his head and said, "Reporting to the Evil God, I do not know where Lord Netherworld went. She left in the morning and hasn’t returned since."
"Understood, you may continue with your work." Realizing he wouldn’t get any useful information, Xiao Zheng let her go with a sigh.
Once the attendant left, his doubts only intensified.
Seeing that he couldn’t find Hades, Xiao Zheng didn’t stay to waste time further and was about to return to Song City. However, at this moment, Hades suddenly descended from the sky.
"Hmm? Hades? You’re back." A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes as he asked.
But he quickly sensed something amiss.
Hades’ aura was somewhat chaotic, obviously having just gone through a fierce battle.
Xiao Zheng quickly asked, "What were you up to this morning? Could it be that members of the Bright Church infiltrated your temple?"
Hearing this, Hades shook her head and replied, "No, there was an issue at the border battlefield."
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Zheng frowned and asked, "An issue at the border battlefield? Wasn’t the border battlefield doing well all along? And there were so many victories last night, what happened?"
"Three Supreme Realm strongmen from the Bright Church appeared on the border battlefield." Hades slowly said, "In just one morning, they already killed eight groups of Blood Clan members."
Three Supreme Realm strongmen from the Bright Church?
Xiao Zheng’s pupils shrank as he exclaimed in disbelief, "Is this true? Because I encountered three Supreme Realm strongmen from the Bright Church on the main battlefield myself this morning!"
Upon hearing his words, even Hades couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes: "You encountered them too?"
"Yes, but I killed them all in the end." Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I came here to discuss this with you, but I didn’t expect you also encountered three such people at the border battlefield."
"It seems we have underestimated the Bright Church. We thought, apart from Charles, the rest of their Supreme Realm strongmen were almost wiped out. Yet, six more appeared."
"By the way, what about the three you encountered? Did they all escape in the end?"
Hearing this, Hades shook her head and replied, "They’re all dead."
Her tone was calm, as if killing three Supreme Realm strongmen was as simple as squashing three ants for her.
Xiao Zheng felt a sense of relief and then said, "Good, since they’re dead. If they all escaped back to the Holy Land of the Bright Church, it would have been a real problem. Has the border battlefield stabilized now? How many remnants of the Bright Church are left?"
"They’re all dead." Hades paused briefly and then added, "They all died at my hands."
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up and then said, "No wonder you took half a day. I didn’t expect the Bright Church’s forces on the border to be entirely cleared by you."
"I’m not bad either; the main force on the front, a total of 80,000, is already dead now."
After hearing this, Hades nodded and said, "So, does this mean the forces the Bright Church dispatched outside have all been cleared by the two of us?"
"That’s right, the battle is nearing its end. Now we need to lead our people to the Holy Land of the Bright Church!" Xiao Zheng’s eyes sharpened, and he said with a cold smile, "Once we kill Charles, we’ll achieve final victory!"
As his words fell, the vast temple was immediately engulfed by a terrifying murderous aura!
