Chapter 255: Chapter 249 Victory Will Surely Belong to the Divine Crown! (Two in One, Seeking Monthly Votes!)
The Chief Priest caressed the necklace, gently closing her eyes.
After a moment of silence, she slowly opened her eyes again, but there was a hint of disappointment on her face.
"It’s still not enough."
She sighed softly, put the necklace away, and continued to sit in place, saying,
"Let’s wait a bit longer..."
"High Priest!"
Seeing the Chief Priest like this, the other Half-Beast Priests were extremely anxious, yet helpless.
They could only call upon the other Half-orc Warriors to continue to guard the area, barely maintaining the situation.
However, the tide of the war had already completely turned...
If the support from the Elf Cavalry had tipped the balance of the war, then the entry of the Earth Cave Spiders, along with the appearance of the legendary magical beasts, had effectively put an end to this war...
*A strong figure with legendary power was truly a strategic-level existence capable of influencing the entire battle!*
And with the Guardian trapped, the Half-Beasts had lost their means to counter the Earth Cave Spiders.
The Spider Queen Rose, leading her Earth Cave Spiders, began a frenzied pursuit of the Half-beasts, particularly focusing on those powerful Half-beasts at the silver level, as well as a few robust Bimong Giant Beasts.
The players, meanwhile, cheered and excitedly followed behind the Earth Cave Spiders.
There was nothing more enjoyable than having someone pave the way ahead, while you only needed to stab them in the back and gain experience.
The players waved their weapons excitedly, hopping and assisting the Earth Cave Spiders in besieging the Half-beasts, taking the opportunity to deliver the finishing blow...
The collapse of morale led to a significant drop in the Half-beasts’ combat effectiveness.
The disorder in the army meant that the forces had completely lost the opportunity to counterattack.
The entire battlefield had already turned into a grand slaughter.
Every second, panicking Half-beasts threw away their helmets and armor, fled in haste, only to be caught up and killed; every second, battling Half-beasts found themselves outnumbered and were beaten to death by Earth Cave Spiders and players...
*However, the players also noticed that, at some point, the rate at which they gained experience points from the battlefield started to drop.*
Luckily, there was a lot to go around...
Nearly thirty thousand Half-beast troops were enough for the players to hunt down.
With experience decreasing for one, you simply had to kill a few more!
And if you could manage to stab a Bimong or silver beast while Spider Queen Rose was chasing them, it would be even more rewarding!
This pushed the players into an even more frenzied chase of the Half-beasts...
The thirty thousand Half-beast troops were disintegrating at a visible speed, with the number of casualties rising exponentially.
*Anyone with a little common sense could see that in this battle, it seemed the Half-beast army was doomed...*
*The outcome of total annihilation was nearly irreversible!*
The Half-Beast Priest held the blood-red necklace, silently watching the grim battle as if lost in thought.
Seeing that the Chief Priest remained calm, the anxiety of a few Half-beast Priests grew even stronger.
"High Priest! We must leave quickly! Gather whatever tribesmen we can and break out as soon as possible..."
"Exactly! Before the enemies form a full encirclement around us, we still have a chance to break through! Preserve our strength, we can fight again!"
The priests pleaded desperately.
Yet after hearing their words, the Chief Priest remained unmoved.
She looked at her disheveled subordinates with a calm expression, saying,
"Fight again? At this point, do you still think we can rely on the army to continue fighting?"
With that, she glanced at the battlefield, at the fierce-looking elves, showing a mysterious expression, and continued,
"From the moment the elven reinforcements appeared, the Great King’s army was finished."
"These elves are as ruthless as demons; do you think they will let the Half-beasts escape?"
The other Half-beast Priests, hearing this, grew even paler.
Losing thirty thousand elites, the Half-beasts of the Death Desert would surely see a significant weakening in the coming years...
And this war held great significance for the Father God.
If they truly failed, who knows how they would face the Father’s wrath!
*These were things the priests dared not even imagine.*
"But... a war of faith, in the end, is a game between the True Gods. We are just the lambs under the Father God’s protection. Sometimes... certain sacrifices are necessary."
Amidst the priests’ fear and unease, the Chief Priest spoke words that sounded quite strange.
With an expression of fanaticism, she raised the blood-red necklace from her bosom with devotion.
"Sac... sacrifice?"
The priests were slightly taken aback.
The Half-Beast Priest did not explain, she gently closed her eyes, seemingly sensing something.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, her words carrying a hint of joy, saying,
"Now, it is... enough."
After speaking, her expression suddenly turned fierce.
She pulled out a dagger from her bosom, and under the horrified gazes of the other Priests, she directly slit her own wrist, smearing her blood on the necklace...
"Praise the winter! Praise the hunt! Praise the Great Father God!"
The High Priest shouted fervently while holding the blood-stained necklace high.
Then, under the terrified gazes of a few priests, the Chief Priest’s visage began to age rapidly!
However, she herself seemed unconcerned, her expression one of fanatic devotion, as she declared,
"Victory will surely belong to the Great Father God!"
Seeing this scene, an elderly Half-orc Priest changed color in an instant and couldn’t help but exclaim:
