Chapter 235 - 201
The battle at the Ajia Royal City that almost destroyed the city walls ended in an exceedingly abrupt manner.
At that moment, something occurred as though a miracle had suddenly manifested itself: Claudiu, who had until then been galloping across the battlefield, fell from the sky all at once. The wings that he had been brandishing became rigid in an instant, and he plummeted motionlessly onto the city walls, as if stricken by a sudden death.
This scene left soldiers on both sides unable to react until a cry of alarm broke the silence. The blood-covered Three-eyed Ape People surged forward, and countless spears instantly pierced through that rigid body.
The tyrant Claudiu had died in a strange way.
And with his death, the army that had been held together by fear crumbled to nothing in almost a single night, dispersing like smoke.
A disaster that could have destroyed all of Ajia came with great fanfare but ended so absurdly that it was beyond comprehension.
It was simply too inexplicable; the Three-eyed Ape People had no choice but to attribute it to a miracle.
With the enemy’s withdrawal, the Three-eyed Ape People flocked to the Great Temple to offer sacrifices, presenting an innumerable number of offerings to the Divine Statue of Kagawus, filling the entire hall to overflowing. And the remaining Three-eyed Ape People filled halls dedicated to the Gods, as well as a hall that had no Divine Statue but only murals, with countless offerings.
The entire Great Temple was overwhelmed with offerings, and the surviving Three-eyed Ape People were immersed in joy and happiness. In the temples throughout the streets and alleys, there was not a single hall without offerings overflowing within.
Meanwhile, in the New Rule Garden, the excited Believers also made their offerings. The simple altar could not hold them all, so they piled up around the base, filled the surrounding area to capacity, and then placed more on the floor, stacking layer upon layer, circle upon circle. The Believers shed tears, constantly reciting prayers and quoting the words from the two Holy Scriptures taught by Noen.
Salvation had come.
