Witch Redemption

There is only one way to deal with an enemy: to eliminate them completely, leaving no one alive.

Li Lan will not tarnish Lana and the others' hands. He will handle this war in his own way and then break his promise to Ann Gnath!

"Hey......"

Chapter 69 Dead City

Blood flows into a river.

The entire Kingdom of Ross fell silent at this moment, with only countless undead creatures surging in the darkness, and no other living beings.

When Li Lan arrived in the capital of the Kingdom of Ross with a group of witches, the battle there had already ended.

After all, at the very moment Li Lan and his group were fighting against Ann Gnath, all of his powerful followers had already rushed to the capital of the Kingdom of Ross to launch a final all-out attack in conjunction with Lolina's massive undead army. The outcome was predictable.

All living beings here are dead, and even the strongest warrior, King Kayara Nyasto of the Kingdom of Ross, has now become a member of the undead army.

The only regret is that some of our comrades were killed in action.

Three demigod-level elves, Rebecca, Susan, and Juliet, the banshee Arceanor, and the fanatic Luciara.

Li Lan probably wasn't surprised by their deaths from the start, after all, they were the pinnacle of power among existing beings in this world, demigod level.

If they cannot seize the bodies of the ancient gods, they may remain at this stage in this life without any improvement.

As for demigods, they were numerous, essentially the highest-level cannon fodder. Even if they survived this war in the Kingdom of Ross, they probably wouldn't survive the next war against the two superpowers.

Even so, after receiving news of their deaths, Li Lan was stunned for a few seconds, but ultimately felt immense pain.

"Can plans never keep up with changes?"

Beyond the bloody battlefield, Li Lan saw a slime with a dejected and sorrowful face. Behind her, Li Lan could see six more gruesome corpses.

They died on the battlefield. Even though they were careful enough, and many undead creatures cared about their safety, they still couldn't withstand the attack of the war and fell in the melee.

They didn't even have time to leave their last words before they vanished from this world forever.

Seeing their faces again at this moment, countless words spoken before parting flooded Li Lan's mind, as if they had just happened.

"Thank you, Lady Karen. The reason why Susan and I follow you is not only because of past kindness, but more importantly, because we have gradually lost hope."

It doesn't matter what the future holds.

"I want to die" were the words of Rebecca and Susan, the elves, before they parted. She and her sister came from the slums of the elf kingdom and were slaves at the very bottom of the social hierarchy.

They have endured many hardships and have come this far from many years ago. However, their desire to live has gradually faded in recent years due to the comfortable choices made by the Kingdom of Ross.

Perhaps every intelligent being has only one chance in their life to burn themselves out, and after this burning, everything in this life will be burned away.

Today, being able to give their all for their benefactors and ultimately burn themselves out in death is perhaps the best ending for them.

"Lady Karen, Juliet will do her best. Please take good care of yourself, Lady Karen."

The stubborn little girl she once was has now grown into a young woman. Unfortunately, even at the peak of her life, she can't keep up with her benefactor's pace, and she knows exactly where her limits lie.

So she chose to face death calmly, believing that as long as her death was worthwhile, then this death would have meaning.

She no longer asks for much.

She simply wanted to express her gratitude for the rest of her life, nothing more.

"There's no other way. Our lord wants us to charge, so we just have to follow him."

The banshees, Akorano, have always been so open-minded. They are usually afraid of death, but as long as it is the command of the ancient creator Cthulhu, they will not stop their steps even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead.

Today is the day to charge forward. What does it matter if I lose this old life?

"This is a holy war! I will uphold the justice that belongs to my lord and deliver the final punishment to the Kingdom of Ross!"

Luciara was always so fanatical; in her eyes, the words of the ancient creator Shub-Nicholas were everything in her life, and she would dedicate her life to this one and only Lord.

Even if she were to die here today, she would have no regrets about her life!

Li Lan closed her eyes slightly, and Lana and the others who arrived later also had somber expressions.

Death, in this world, may be a kind of liberation.

Today, these weak comrades are dying, and tomorrow, these witches will follow in their footsteps.

See you in the afterlife, everyone!

"Let's bury them properly, then we must leave as soon as possible."

The moment Li Lan finished speaking, the darkness in the sky dissipated, and the domain jointly created by the Goddess of Darkness Lachesis and the Sixth Apostle Kalamiti officially faded away.

The bright sun began to linger in the shattered sky. Under the warm sunlight, the overwhelming black and gray skeletons, liches, and zombies gradually turned into black smoke or pitch-black pus and blood, returning to the earth.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

All that remained in the air was the strong smell of blood and decay.

When Li Lan turned around, she saw countless children's corpses lying haphazardly in a palace-like building. They appeared to be the descendants that Ann Gnath had mentioned.

Is this really a good idea?

Li Lan asked himself, "Actually, back when Lana agreed to Ann Gnath's request, Li Lan still had a chance to ask the slimes to show mercy, but he didn't."

One reason is that hatred clouded his judgment, preventing him from making rational decisions.

Another reason is that by leaving Ann Gnath's descendants alive, without eradicating them completely, the chain of hatred cannot be broken.

"Just because of Ann Gnath's kind words before he died, are you going to spare his family?"

joke!

Li Lan is not a saint; he is an evil person. As an evil person, what does it matter if he uses the most vicious means to eliminate all future troubles?

This hatred can only lead to a life-or-death struggle. If it were Ann Gnath, he would also want to eliminate the root of the problem, right?

After shifting her gaze, Li Lan's eyes gradually hardened.

From this moment on, the capital of the Kingdom of Ross became a dead city, and the country was completely wiped out, with no survivors.

The next targets are the British Empire and the Elf Kingdom. Li Lan knows that his side may not be able to eliminate these two superpowers, but they will use their own deaths to make these two countries pay the greatest price!

Devastating these two countries would be tantamount to extinguishing the world's hope for the future.

"Let's go, it's time for us to leave."

The battle is now over.

Survivors: Kallen Elf the Witch, Lorina Euphemia, Lana Sivir, Della Bertie, Violet, Sophia, Anne Ian, Rosa, Edith, Trish, the Twin White Antelope and the Snow Antelope, Lachesis the Goddess of Darkness, the Sixth Apostle, Calamity, and Servants: Slime, Feather, Uri, Ora, and Jeanne.

Almost all of Li Lan's followers have been reborn and are about to be deployed to the new battle.

The next battle is about to come to an end.

It is both the end of their journey and the end of the witches' lives.

...... ...... ......

A castle in the air.

This area, completely isolated by the barrier, remained unaffected by the outside world, and remained peaceful until the war outside ended.

At that moment, the faceless girl sitting by the window, facing the desolate scene outside, seemed to have already seen through everything.

"A dead end."

She let out a hoarse voice like boiling water, her indifferent voice devoid of much emotion, as if those who had died were not her relatives, but a group of ugly ants.

"It's a dead end to begin with, so we're not going to gamble with you on this."

Black-haired Yu Hui waved her hand slightly. Behind her, the other three powerful ancient creator avatars remained silent, as if it were none of their business.

They're here to fight, not to talk.

"But do you really think it's worth it? Using thirty special mechanical elves as a price to destroy the Kingdom of Ross means they've lost a trump card to confront a major power."

"Who knows? Breaking through the realm of gods is a very simple matter, isn't it?"

Black-haired Yu Hui said he didn't care, since all the trump cards were already prepared, and this wasn't the only one.

"What, afraid of losing?"

That wicked smile seemed to be a provocation.

"Loss? You've used up this trump card, and you're likely to be the ones who lose later. Besides, it seems like you've used more than just this trump card."

There are two!

One of them is the strongest domain-controlling technique that these ancient creators bestowed upon these witches, which can even directly break through Ann Gnath's divine domain.

If nothing unexpected happens, that peculiar body likely belongs to Abhos.

As they talked, the witches who had caused this horrific massacre had already led their dead comrades away and soon disappeared from the sight of these ancient creators.

However, they all knew that the next war would determine the outcome of this bet.

The victor will continue to live in this world and carry on the true god game to the end, while the loser is destined to eat dust and die instantly.

...... ...... ......

In the monster-infested area near the border of the Kingdom of Ross, a group of witches belonging to the United Duchy of Ries are on their way.

The leader of the witches was named Elizabeth Smith, and she was the captain of this squad.

"I've heard that the witch Karen Elf is leading a large number of witches to attack the Kingdom of Ross. Although I don't believe these witches possess the power to destroy the Kingdom of Ross, if..."

If these witches really have such power, then what choice will Elizabeth and the others make?

"Whether it is the Kingdom of Ross, the British Empire, or any other country in the world, they are all vital forces in the future fight against the apocalypse. Only by preserving them can there be hope for the future."

It must be admitted that a single superpower cannot contend with those ancient creators.

The whole world must mobilize and unite.

Even so, the United Duchy of Ries still has a lot of work to do in the future.

The moment they looked up, they saw that the vast area where the Kingdom of Ross was located was still shrouded in bottomless darkness, clearly completely isolated by some kind of domain. Even the witches of the United Duchy of Ries dared not easily approach the domain's range, lest they be affected.

"Team leader, what should we do next?"

"Wait!"

The witch Elizabeth Smith led everyone to a halt.

They had no idea what was happening in the area, but they felt a strong sense of unease, as if the entire Kingdom of Ross would disappear from the world after today.
