All the heavens began with Huo Yi

Adura and Smarag were right; Lani and Rataen had successfully reunited.

Under the cover of night, Suer looked at the rows of siege towers that had been erected, and gazed indifferently at the knights, the giant eagles, and some insignificant non-human soldiers within the city.

"Do we really have to attack the city like this?" Suer asked, frowning. "I can just blow up the city gate, and you should be able to do the same. Then we can march straight in, send someone to deal with the Storm King's offspring, and have the others take care of the soldiers. Let's try to take the city in the shortest time possible."

“No, this is not our battle. It’s soldier against soldier, general against general,” Ratan replied. “That’s the rule. If we do this today, things will fall apart later.”

In Ratahn's view, the army should have its own specific duties, and it is important to find one's own enemy.

If you rely on your strength to slaughter ordinary soldiers at will, then the stronger enemy can do the same. In the end, you might only get a piece of land.

Only by using the righteous path can you defeat your opponent and make them willingly accept your rule.

Perhaps because most people in the border region share this mindset, the allied forces during the Broken War were sabotaged by Monger's little trick.

Unlike Rataen, Lani actually quite agrees with Suer's ideas.

Using a little trickery to win is perfectly acceptable!

Governance can be done gradually after victory.

"Sul, go to the siege unit." Lani suddenly said to Sul, who smiled and immediately ran towards the siege engine.

“Sul is a general, he shouldn’t be doing what a common soldier should do!” Ratan said in a gruff voice. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Lani’s actions, but he couldn’t blame her, after all, Lani was his sister and his ally at this moment.

“Yes, I know.” Lani looked at her stubborn brother. “So I just demoted Suer to a regular soldier.”

While the siblings were talking, Suer had already followed the siege engine to the city gate.

With a thunderous explosion, Suer shattered the city gate and charged into the city first.

The soldiers hiding behind the siege engines exchanged glances, then drew their longswords and charged into the city.

Not long after the city gates were breached, an angry eagle's cry resounded through the sky. The Storm King's son, transformed into a giant eagle, soared into the heavens, carrying a storm as it charged toward Rataen.

"You unruly demigod! Bear my wrath!"

The gale transformed into sharp blades, sweeping towards the soldiers behind Rataen and Lani.

"See? This is the result of doing this!" Ratan said, drawing his twin swords, which blazed with purple light. An invisible gravity field was deployed, shielding the ordinary soldiers behind him from the wrath of the Storm King's son.

"Fortunately, the three of us came together this time, and the city is mostly populated by ordinary people. Only the Storm King's offspring have the strength of a demigod. Otherwise, our soldiers might have been in trouble."

After speaking to Lani, Ratan leaped into the sky, slashing two sharp blades at the soaring Storm Eagle.

The giant eagle flapped its wings, and dozens of feathers, as sharp as steel spears, shot towards Ratan. Ratan simply spun in mid-air and swept away these feather blades.

"You little man, Rata'n!" the giant eagle spoke in human language: "After you released those dragons, I mistakenly thought you were some kind of hero. I was planning to fight you myself after we'd fought each other to a certain extent!"

If I win, I'll give you a plot of land to keep for yourself; if I lose, I'll ask you to treat my men well.

So you actually went so far as to let a demigod-level general lead the attack on the city? Prepare to die!

After the giant eagle finished speaking, a gust of wind arose, as if it were about to have a life-or-death duel with Rataen. However, when it was almost within reach of Rataen, it suddenly folded its wings and swooped down, bypassing Rataen.

Storm Eagle's objective was clear: his target was the ordinary soldiers brought by Rataen and Lani, not Rataen, Lani, or the unknown demigod who had stormed the city.

When he saw Sur storm into the city, he immediately judged that Sur's strength was no less than that of a demigod. He then believed that Ratan had violated the rules of the border area and ordered the soldiers in the city to fight to the death. He also launched a suicidal revenge to avenge those ordinary soldiers.

It must be said that the last child of the Storm King was quite proud. He could have easily abandoned his defeated troops and left alone, but he chose to use his own life to avenge his soldiers who were being slaughtered unilaterally by Sul.

One by one, the Storm Eagle shook off its body and unleashed a barrage of feather blades at the 'weak and feeble' soldiers.

"Little tricks!"

Lani waved her wand, using the All-Encompassing Protection to create a huge, transparent barrier that protected the soldiers.

The feather blades collided with the barrier, producing a piercing sound, and were all blocked.

Storm Eagle was dumbfounded. Ningmgford and Lienia are adjacent regions, and he had a good understanding of mages. The spell just now did not seem to be something that Kalia could possess!

"Retract!" Lani took out the Domain Cube and retracted it towards the giant eagle. The huge suction force pulled the giant eagle, making it difficult for it to flap its wings and escape.

Lani looked at the giant eagle that had been captured in the Rubik's Cube and chuckled, "My older brother is used to being upright, so he can be fooled by you. I'm not like him. Do you think I can't see through your intentions? Just wait and see how I deal with you."

Lani put the Rubik's Cube away for the time being, turned around and shouted to the Dark Moon Legion soldiers behind her: "Charge into the city! Those who do not submit will be killed!"

Rataen had also returned to the ground and, seeing this, could only command his Red Lion Legion to enter the city along with the Darkmoon Legion.

At dawn, the flag of the Red Sand City changed, and a flag with a lion pattern was hung, henceforth it was renamed Red Lion City.

Red Lion City Square

The square was already bustling with people early in the morning. Nearly 20,000 Darkmoon soldiers were standing in the square, and some of the mountain demon soldiers were carrying several coffins on their backs, containing the remains of their comrades who had died in battle.

"Jeremy, good morning."

Sue greeted Jellian, but Jellian only glanced at Sue and ignored him. In Jellian's opinion, Sue's behavior last night was somewhat despicable and did not conform to his sense of morality.

Seeing Jellian's cold and indifferent attitude, Sullian wouldn't bother to go up and fawn over him.

He then quickly walked over to Lani's side. They were returning to Lienia today, and after all the soldiers had returned to Lienia, he and Lani would have to go back to the royal city.

As for Ratan, he will have to stay here for a while longer. Since Galid is Ratan's fiefdom, he cannot leave Galid for the time being. He will probably have to wait until he has established the administrative system before he can return to Rodel.

"Everyone's here." Blaze came to Lani's side and whispered, "The construction of the Dragon's Nest Chapel has been handed over to His Highness's men. Also, those two foolish mages have eaten quite a few dragon hearts, and their eyes have already turned towards the dragons."

“Ignore them, let’s go back to Lienia,” Lani whispered to Blaise, then shouted, “Home!”
