Chapter 357 - 314 Pushing Open the Doors of the Golden Hall
The eclipse cast an even deeper gloom over the earth.
In countless city-states, divine statues were laden with offerings, but the cold statues remained silent, unresponsive, even as the cities at their feet were reduced to ashes, their inhabitants were slaughtered indiscriminately, blood flooding the streets, even as the statues themselves were smashed to pieces...
What did the eclipse signify?
It meant that the light they depended on for survival was being obscured, it meant the arrival of doomsday.
And in Danschel City, under the eclipse, morale collapsed even further.
Even though Nesol’s army was equally in disarray, retreating in swarms from the city walls, the huge disparity in troop numbers cast an even heavier shadow over the Royal City.
The soldiers who had fought valiantly for days knew all too well the terror of the enemy. They believed more fervently, some even donating all their possessions to worship the Divine, seeking their protection.
Apart from the Divine’s might, the soldiers saw no hope of victory.
And the eclipse undoubtedly crushed the last bit of hope.
The Divine did not protect them...
Sounds of collapse spread to every corner of Danschel City; despite King Phil’s personal intervention, the King’s authority was futile in the face of the eclipse.
