I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

After releasing [Charm Animal] nearly two hundred times, Alvin felt his head begin to feel dizzy, and there was a slight twitching pain.

Feeling that this might be the limit to the number of spells that Xiling mentioned, Alvin stopped modifying the ice elements.

Anyway, under the double-line attack, the remaining mutants no longer posed any threat, so Alvin simply hugged the fairy dragon Shas and started petting the dragon.

Seeing that Alvin was not seriously injured and the battle situation became clearer, Kong Er relaxed and walked back slowly with Alvin.

……

With the last mutant self-destructing in the monster pile, the encounter on the north side of the Gray Haze Forest finally ended.

A total of nearly two thousand ice elemental variants, none of them survived.

More than eighty warriors of the Wasteland Orcs died here forever, and the Northern District Church also lost the life of a regional leader.

War never has a happy ending like in fairy tales.

Ivan walked up to Broken Tooth and Paul. The two commanders looked exhausted instead of happy about winning the battle.

"Well done, human boy!"

Duan Ya raised his hand as a greeting, then continued to clean up the battlefield with his soldiers and collect the weapons and equipment of the sacrificed soldiers.

"Broken Tooth... Thank you for coming to support..."

Ivan, who had never experienced the sacrifice of teammates, looked at the orc corpses that were cleared together with some depression.

These comrades whom he had never met and the druid who didn't even leave his body behind made Alvin feel a little uncomfortable.

Although he had prepared himself mentally after arriving in the alien world, when he actually saw the horrific wounds on the corpses, Ivan felt that what he thought was too naive.

“Okay, Alvin boy, stop acting so pitiful and sad.

These are orcs who died in battle, and their families will be respected and treated with kindness by the entire tribe.

Let’s not disturb them from bidding farewell to their companions.”

Bol grabbed Ivan's shoulders from behind and pulled him back a small step. He watched the orcs in front of him quickly strip off the equipment from the corpses, and then neatly arrange the bodies of their companions together.

Afterwards, Broken Tooth led the remaining 400 orc infantrymen and stood in front of the pile of corpses, with their right fists clenched and pressed against their left chests.

"Blood and glory."

Broken Tooth shouted in a low voice.

"Blood and glory."

The other orc infantrymen also chanted in low voices.

There were no passionate tones, no loud roars; the wasteland orcs conducted their farewell ceremony in the simplest way.

After finishing all this, Broken Tooth walked up to Paul and Ivan. The thick leather armor he was wearing was covered with scratches from the battle.

“Well, these fallen orc warriors will donate their bodies to the land where they died.

Druid neighbor, the orc warriors need to go back to recuperate. These strange things have also appeared in the north of the wasteland, we must quickly recover the warriors. "

Paul walked forward and firmly grasped Broken Tooth's arm with his big hand.

“Thanks for your support, friend.

Once the threat outside the Gray Forest is cleared, you will see druids in the north of the wasteland."

"Oh, that's great, we really need that kind of spell to protect against frost."

After saying that, Broken Tooth also held Bol's arm tightly with his big hand.

……

After bidding farewell to the orcs, the members of the Northern District Cult returned to their base.

The person in charge of East District 3 was pierced through the chest by a medium-sized variant and then disappeared in the violent explosion.

Xiling picked up a small half of the druid's staff around the big pit caused by the explosion.

She collected the piece of wood, which still had ice-blue powder on it, and treated it as a relic of the druid who had died on the battlefield.

But victory is victory after all.

Arya prepared a sumptuous meal in the camp and took out a limited amount of rye to celebrate the return of most of her companions.

A huge bonfire was lit in the open space outside Oak Hall.

The druids who did not participate in this battle, together with the newly joined elves and orcs, listened to the excited Lian talk about her "heroic performance" in the battle.

Todd sat on the ground, took out the meerschaum pipe that he had repaired with great difficulty, and smiled at the boasting little half-elf.

Most of the battles he had experienced were much more brutal than this one.

After eating a simple meal, Alvin walked to the foot of the high wall alone, sat next to a pile of snow that had been shoveled together, and quietly watched the cheerful crowd from a distance.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the short guy was still jumping up and down and shouting loudly, without any sign of fatigue.

"You really don't look like a girl..."

Ivan couldn't help but utter a sound, and then he was hit lightly on the top of his head with a club.

"Xi Ling? Why are you here... Have you always been here?"

The half-elf lady emerged from the shadows behind him and slowly sat down on the ground, imitating Ivan.

"I was here before you came over here."

After saying that, he didn't seem to want to continue chatting, and Hood turned towards the direction of the campfire.

After a while, Xiling suddenly heard Ivan's voice, which was as low as a whisper.

"Xi Ling, you said... the one who caused all this was the Ice Goddess Oluel that the old skeleton mentioned?"

"It's the Ice Maiden Ouler...

When the priest brought us to the Gray Haze Forest, we had to face some alien creatures that invaded the forest from the Far North.

At that time, the Ice Element was our teammate...

Although they can't speak, they are wise and friendly, which is nothing like what we have seen these days.

So I don't know what caused all this.

But what is certain is that the ice elementals, like the elves, have fallen."

"So the root cause of all this is God, right?"

Xiling turned her hood and looked into the human's eyes, the dark pupils reflecting the campfire in the distance.

"Yes, but what can ordinary people do about such a thing and such a disaster..."

Ivan lowered his head and didn't make a sound for a long time. He was playing with a green raspberry fruit in his hand, which was the first batch of ripe products in the ecological field.

This time, another barely audible voice came from Alvin's mouth.

“Xi Ling, I have always hoped that there would be a world without war and aggression;

All creatures can live in peace, orc children can have enough food, weathered warriors can spend their old age in peace, and elves can tinker with their elegance without worries...

I know this idea is too naive, just like this raspberry;

I thought that in this world, people attacked each other for food and survival, but now, I find that this is not the case..."

Ivan paused, and then the sound became louder and louder.

“It seems that the gods here never care about the life or death of their believers;

Those elves believed in gods, and were then turned into zombies by the gods;

Those ice elements were originally extremely wise, but they were turned into mad monsters by the gods.

If God caused all this,

Does that mean we don’t need these gods at all…”
