Chapter 1159: A Clear Comparison (Part One)
Now, these people who were left in the tent looked at each other. They could all tell that the Queen of the Northern Region Empire didn"t say those words impulsively; she was really giving these commanders the power to make this decision. However, this made them feel even more serious.
If they continued forward, they might be able to get to the City of Iduna, bringing hope to the people in the Southern Region who were struggling. However, they might also be completely killed by the goblin military that was like an ocean. By then, perhaps only a few supreme masters could escape.
If they retreated, they would be laughed at by the continent, and the Holy Church would grab onto this incident and attack them. Also, if they ever thought about their peers who were dying in the Southern Region later, they would feel ashamed and guilty!
These people were stuck between a rock and a hard place!
"Let"s continue forward." Gerard was the first to speak, and he broke the silence.
This young lord of Liverpool had the unique persistence and boldness of the people of Liverpool, and he said heroically, "Since we are already in the territory of the Southern Region, we shoulder the responsibility of saving our peers, and we can"t back away. Regardless of how tough and dangerous the path ahead of us is, we have to go to the end! Even if we die in this region, we wouldn"t let the people of the Southern Region down!"
Gerard"s voice resonated in everyone"s ears.
Shaarawy laughed and said, "Great! I agree with moving forward!"
Kompany glanced around and said heroically as well, "The 40,000 cavalrymen of Manchester City are willing to lead the charge! We will charge toward the City of Iduna. Even if we die in the process, we won"t back away!"
"Great!"
"Forward!"
"Hahaha! Right! What are we afraid of? The goblins are only dirty and lowly b*stards. If they dare to come again, we will just kill them all."
The commanders of the various troops from the empires all laughed and became lighthearted after accepting the worst possible outcome of dying here.
These empires that dared to resist the Holy Church all stood on principles and dared to fight against the powerful. These people"s spirits were unyielding, and they would never surrender. Once they made the decision, they couldn"t go back on their words.
"Since this is the case, you can all go back to your tents and organize your troops. I will report to Elena Her Highness, and we will get back on the path tomorrow morning," Ca.s.sano said with a smile.
"Ok!" everyone nodded.
This shocking G.o.dly battle that almost destroyed the land didn"t make the expeditionary troop fearful and wanting to retreat. After the initial alarm, the morale of the group skyrocketed, making them more united.
-Further away-
"Ms. Susanna, what do you think?" Seeing the human commanders making the final decision, the shy gnome girl smiled and asked.
It was clear that this girl held a prestigious status among the Gnome-Dwarf Alliance. Even that gnome boy who cussed all the time was completely obedient toward this seemingly shy girl.
"I can only say that the Elf Clan made the right decision." Priestess Susanna caressed the smooth fur of the giant white tiger beside her and replied gently.
"Human a terrifying race. No wonder this race could continue after that catastrophe 1,000 years ago and became the lord of the continent for the last 1,000 years," the shy gnome girl murmured while thinking.
"Human is also a complex race. Isn"t the Holy Church a great example?" a trace of mystical glint flashed in Priestess Susanna"s eyes.

Chapter 1159: A Clear Comparison (Part Two)
"Huh? Did the Elf Clan make a discovery?" the smile on the shy gnome girl"s face started to disappear.
The White-Tiger Priestess still smiled charmingly. She jumped onto the back of the white tiger while replying with a smile, "Although 1,000 years have pa.s.sed, we were all among the top ten races more than 1,000 years ago, and we worked together before. Since you could find traces of clues, why can"t the Elf Empire make discoveries?"
After Susanna said that, the white tiger roared and carried her back to the troop of the Elf Clan.
"d.a.m.n it! What does this woman who doesn"t like to wear clothes mean?" the gnome boy who cussed all the time asked in confusion.
The gnome girl stared at the gnome boy forcefully and replied in anger, "If you curse one more time, I will sew your lips together!"
The gnome boy instantly shut his mouth, looking sad.
-On the path of the other expeditionary troop in the Southern Region-
Within two days of entering the Southern Region, this troop that was made of close to 600,000 people from the Holy Church and the Barcelona Empire also got aggressively attacked by the goblins. It was forced to stay beside a mountain and a lake, putting up a tight defense.
Many poorly-made goblin zeppelins flew in the sky, blocking out the sky and casting many shark-like shadows on the ground.
The campsite of the expeditionary troop was completely surrounded on all four sides, and many human and goblin corpses lay within five kilometers of the campsite.
Many goblins were standing on the corpses like a green ocean wave, and the hungry ones directly chewed on the corpses of humans and their peers. Green and red blood flowed down these goblins" lips, making them look like demons from h.e.l.l.
Various colored magic flames flashed in the sky, and many arrows shot through the air and landed on the goblin zeppelins. However, more and more zeppelins flew over from the horizon and joined the battle.
Terrifying and mystical energies surged in the sky.
The supreme human masters battled with the demi-G.o.dly goblins, and both sides suffered many casualties.
However, whenever a goblin died, ten more rushed over to take its place. However, whenever a human died, he became food for the goblins and nurtured the enemies.
The expeditionary troop"s frontline was pressured back repeatedly. Right now, out of 600,000 soldiers, only less than 400,000 remained.
The Holy Church"s residence was in the center of the campsite, and it wasn"t that much affected by the goblins" attacks. Other human troops resided on the sides, looking like the guards to the Holy Church.
Out of the 200,000 human soldiers who died under the aggressive attacks of the goblins, 99 percent of them came from other empires.
Especially those weaker troops that joined the Holy Church"s side on Bali Island at the last moment, most of them were completely wiped out already. From commanders to soldiers, they all died and didn"t leave a trace of bloodline.
"We can"t last! We will be wiped out if this continues!"
"What should we do? We need to get the masters of the Holy Church to attack the goblins! Otherwise, our campsite will be conquered!"
"d.a.m.n it! We are battling to the death, but the soldiers of the Holy Church are sleeping in the center of the campsite! Do our lives worth less than theirs? Do we deserve to die first?"
"Don"t even talk about the Holy Church yet! Even the troops of empires such as Barcelona and Juventus didn"t really battle! They reserved their strength, but we became the sacrificial lamb!"
Many commanders complained.
"Hush! Don"t talk! If those arrogant priests hear you complain, you will die for sure!"
"Now thinking back, I"m full of regret. We should have followed the Northern Region Empire. The Queen of the Northern Region Empire is extraordinarily powerful, and I never heard rumors about the Northern Region Empire being an overbearing bully. Perhaps the situation there is better."
"It is too late to say that now. Let"s battle with everything that we got! Otherwise, we can"t even survive!"
