They obeyed the orders of the Senate and did not want to evacuate because of Xiadie's words.
More importantly, their 500 elite soldiers rushed over, suffered more than 100 casualties, and even the captain died. It was too embarrassing to go back with such a record.
Ash didn't rush to reply. He was curious about Xiadie's purpose. It seemed that the Golden Race had no intention of destroying Tilkas.
Or is this just Xiadie's personal idea?
"There's no winning or losing in the face of death." Xiadie shook her head slightly. "You've already tried, but failed. Continuing to fight will only result in more casualties."
"That's because you didn't join in earlier. You're also a Golden Child. As long as you can hold off the Golden Child on the other side, victory in this battle will be ours!"
"That's right, Xiadie, you could have acted sooner!" The vice-captain of the Ohma army was furious. "If you had acted sooner, Captain Celtic wouldn't have died. It's because of your negligence that the Ohma army suffered such a huge loss! If you were still an Ohma, you would have killed that guy named Yaxiu right now!"
Xiadie was silent for a long time.
"I'm sorry." She shook her head. "This war is pointless."
"How can it be meaningless? The Tilkas people are challenging the majesty of the Holy City. If we give up now, how can the Holy City lead Omphalos through disasters in the future? If we can't even deal with a small tribe, no one will believe in us anymore!" the deputy captain said angrily.
"Trust does not come from killing, never..." Xiadie lowered her eyes, looking a little sad.
She heard the cries of death, the dead souls were wandering meaninglessly with nowhere to go.
"Hey!"
Ash's voice interrupted her thoughts. Xiadie raised her head and saw that the other party was looking at her.
"It seems the decision isn't in your hands. Haven't you seen through these arrogant Ohma people? They don't care about saving the world; they're just worried about their rule being threatened." Ash sneered, "These people are so sanctimonious and hypocritical. Hey, your name is Xiadie, right? You seem to understand things. Would you consider coming to our Tilkas? The oracle said that the Golden People will save the world, right? That's right, who said that the Golden People must be in Ohma? Come to our Tilkas, and I'll make you a priest. It will definitely be more comfortable than it is now!"

Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 17 The Sun Was Shot Down
"Shut up, vile Tilkath!"
As soon as Yaxiu made the invitation, the vice-captain beside Xiadie became anxious.
The difficulty of this war was beyond his expectations. Ash, the golden descendant of Tilkas, could manipulate the wind and sand and control the strange sand soldiers to fight. If they relied on them alone, there would be no way to win. If Xiadie turned against them again... the consequences would be unimaginable!
Although, this possibility will not exist. After all, as long as Aglaya is there, the Golden Race will not disperse.
"What, are you anxious?" Ash said with a smile, looking at Xiadie. "These are the brave Ohma warriors. What's the difference between them and everyone else? What's the point of you, Bai'e, staying in Ohma? Is it for the oracle, to save the world? Then I'll tell you now, I, Ash, am the will of Gioria. He says that I am the savior of this Omphalos. Do you believe it?"
"Do you see that golden disc? Its brilliance will eventually rival the sun and dispel the darkness shrouding Omphalos. So, why is Ohema the holy city of Omphalos? Why does the interpretation of the oracle have to be in your hands? I didn't think there was anything wrong before. You wanted to save the world, which was great, and I admired you. But now, when you stab the blades in your hands into those unarmed people of Tilcath, I feel that you are not worthy at all!"
The smile on Ash's face faded, and he cursed loudly, "What salvation, what oracle? You lowly souls are worse than rats in the gutter. You're all scheming and scheming, thinking yourselves noble and great. What hypocrisy! What does Aglaia want? To put it bluntly, it's just to seize control of Ohma, but she's afraid. She's afraid of breaking with the Senate, afraid that going to war with them will cause civil unrest in Ohma and bring disgrace to the Golden Race. So she chose to sacrifice Tilkas."
The Golden Descendants are heroes who save the world, so they should be noble and great. At least this is the impression that the people of Omphalos have of the Golden Descendants of Ohma today.
And this is indeed the result of the hard work of Aglaya and others.
However, in Ash's opinion, if you want everything, you will eventually lose everything.
There is never any sacrifice that is taken for granted. It’s just that some of the sacrificed beings are unable to resist. And when they have the power, like Tilkas now, Ash is going to overturn this chessboard!
"Come! Tear off your disguises. There are no oracles or saviors here, only enemies and companions marching shoulder to shoulder with us! Brave Tilkas, fearless Hanging Vanguard, show these Ohma people what a true hero is!"
Boom boom boom!
The Tilkas people and Xuanfeng warriors stepped forward, holding weapons and armor, with a burning desire to fight!
They felt lucky to follow a leader like Ash.
Even if the road ahead is hell, the land of death created by Senatos, they will still not look back!
On the other hand, Ohma's already broken formation barely held together, and when faced with Ash, they had already lost their will to fight. Now, looking at the Tilkas army, who were fully prepared, the scar of fear was torn open again.
"Xiadie, what are you waiting for?!" the deputy captain said in a deep voice, "You don't really believe what he said, do you? He's trying to deceive the people! Use your strength to deal with that guy, otherwise the Senate will put Aglaya on trial!"
Xiadie raised her eyes and looked at Ash with her purple eyes.
"I truly wish you invited me when there were no conflicts between us. Unfortunately... We sincerely wish to protect Tilkas, but the seeds of suspicion have already been planted. Under Zagreus's scheme, neither of us will trust the other. Even so, I still hope that our weapons will be turned against our true enemies."
After saying this, she said to the vice-captain, "Give up. With my ability, I can only help you escape. If you continue to fight, the outcome will definitely not be optimistic."
"Xiadie!" The deputy captain clenched his fists. "We've lost so many lives, and you're talking about retreating now? Where's Bai'e? Where is he? With your strength, you can definitely kill these Tilkas!"
"I don't know where he is. I just followed Aglaya's instructions and ensured the safe evacuation of those innocent Ohma warriors."
"Aglaya! Aglaya again!" the deputy captain was furious. "She clearly promised the Senate that she would cooperate in this operation, but you still only pursued your own selfish desires. Damn it! Wait until we get back to Ohma and see how you explain it to the elders!"
The deputy captain was very angry and continued to be angry because of this, but his anger could not change anything. The expression on Xiadie's face did not change from beginning to end.
He was about to say something, but Xiadie suddenly moved. A purple long-handled sickle appeared in her hand and she swung it vigorously.
Dang! ! !
The sickle deflected the staff that was flying towards the vice-captain.
In mid-air, Ash fell, grabbed the scepter, and then chopped it down!
At the critical moment, Xiadie used the back of her sickle to knock the deputy captain backwards.
sensation!
Dust and fog rose high.
"Hey! Not bad." Ash held down the scepter and chuckled, "Xiadie, you're right. We don't trust each other easily. In that case, let's stick to the rules of this battlefield!"
On the battlefield, there are only enemies and companions.
Although Xiadie had no ill will towards them.
If I look at it from a player's perspective, when I see a character like Xiadie appear, I'm going to lick him to death!
But he is not a player now, he is risking his life!
Ohma's blade is already at his neck, it's either you die or I die, Ash is not in the mood to talk about love here, unless Xiadie can "turn over a new leaf" and join their side.
"This battle is meaningless." Xiadie held the sickle, resisted the pressure of the scepter, and said while biting her lips lightly.
"War has never been an end, but a means. For you, the goal has been achieved, and there is of course no point in going any further. But not for us. Didn't the so-called oracle tell you that even ants will jump up and hit people if provoked!" A golden light burst out from Ash's body, and the power of the sun was released in his hands, constantly suppressing the power of Xiadie.
chi chi~~
Xia Die was startled.
It was the first time she encountered such a strange power.
This...is not Gioria's power!
Boom~!
Xiadie withdrew herself and released the force, leaving an afterimage on the spot. The breath of death continued to spread driven by her power, competing with the power in Ash.
Swish swish!
The sickle swung out swift blades of light, but they were all blocked by Ash's scepter. The two figures collided back and forth, and in the hazy night, only the sparks that burst out could be captured by the people around them.
"This is the power of the Golden Race... too strong." Someone murmured.
The Golden Descendant, the hero of the Oracle, a demigod with divine blood.
Although it is not uncommon in this world, it is still extremely rare to witness the battle between two golden people with your own eyes.
Boom~
After an explosion, the two separated from each other.
Xiadie frowned slightly, and her arms felt a little sore.
Ash's power was so strong that she could hardly resist him, but fortunately she was not the protagonist of this battle.
Seeing that Ash was about to rush over again, Xiadie suddenly raised her head and looked at the sun disk at the ruins of Tilkas.
"He's gone." He said softly.
Ash raised his brows slightly. He didn't understand what it meant at first, but soon he felt through the sun disk that there was a figure approaching the sun disk quickly in a place where the light could not reach.
"Hmm? Is this your purpose?"
Ash understood.
The Senate is here to silence us.
But the Golden Race is not like that.
They were coming for the sun disk.
The sun disc brought light to Tilkas, and even Xuanfeng chose to join alone, to a certain extent because of this.
If this light is allowed to continue, Tilkas is likely to develop into the second holy city of Omphalos.
So, Aglaya was afraid of this.
As for the Senate, Ash was already certain that Marcus was indeed sent by them. Aglaia took advantage of their eagerness to silence him and pass the evidence to the Golden One, thus achieving his own goal.
"Leave here, Ash. Even if you don't choose to join Ohma, you can go somewhere else. Aglaya said her purpose has never been to kill you." Xiadie said softly.
The words fell.
The figure on the ruins rushed towards the sun disc and chopped down the golden disc that symbolized the sun!
Boom! ! !
The sun disk fell from above the hollow ruins, causing a huge roar.
At the same time, the entire territory of Tilkas fell into darkness again.
"The sun! The sun has been shot down!"
"The light is gone!"
"Who did it?!"
"Isn't that Gioria's will? Why could it be shot down?"
Panic began to spread among Tilkas's army.
Xiadie breathed a sigh of relief. Her mission was finally accomplished. Following Aglaia's orders, she had held back Ash on the front lines, protecting the Ohma army's retreat. As for Bai'e, his mission was to slash down the sun of Tilkas and prevent the emergence of a second holy city on the land of Omphalus.
As long as the light disappears, they will have no reason to continue fighting.
"After all this time, this is what the Golden Descendants are after?"
A lazy voice sounded.
Xiadie looked at Ash, somewhat puzzled.
He doesn't seem... anxious at all?
"I was so scared just now. You should have told me that you were going for that thing."
A golden light appeared in Ash's hand, and in Xiadie's shocked eyes, a small sun disk suddenly appeared in his hand!
Ash scoffed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you want them? I can give you a few."
...
Chapter 3, k! I have two more chapters to update today, but I'll wait until tonight to try to hit the hit list next week, so please forgive me~ Finally, it's almost Chinese New Year, so I'm sending out red envelopes! My New Year's money! Set the bowl ┬—┬ノ('-'ノ)
Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 18 I am the Sun!
Xiadie: “?”
Wait, what did she see?
A little...sun?
Although it is small, it seems to be the same as the previous one.
She was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Isn't that the power of the Gioria ruins?"
Both she and Aglaia believed that the light of Tilkas came from the power of the ruins and was a manifestation of part of Gioria's will.
Because when Bai'e brought the news back, he said that the golden disc was hanging on the ruins of Gioria.
Well, it's natural to think so.
Moreover, the power that can bring light is related to gods no matter how you think about it. At least none of the golden descendants that have appeared so far possess this ability.
