Chapter 143 – Conquering the North Part 12 ~The Beginning of the End~
[Okay… I think it’s about time for us to head out . ]
[Yeah… thank you for the hospitality . ]
After the post-war negotiations were over, Ares and Batu were preparing to go their separate ways .
Ares would return to his territory, this time to focus his attention to the situation of the eastern countries . Meanwhile, Batu needs to lead the march of his army to unify the grassland .
They were in the middle of an open plains with each of their forces behind them . The soldiers lined up neatly, their focus solely directed to their leaders .
People of the mainland and the people of the grassland; The two used to be embroiled in conflict . But things were different now .
During the few days they were staying in this area together, the two armies interacted with each other, drank liquor until they’re drunk, smiling and laughing .
The wall that had existed between the two for a long time had finally been breached .
[If big bro is in need of our power, then feel free to say it . We’ll definitely ride out to help . ]
[Those words alone makes me feel reassured already . ]
Listening to Batu’s kind offer, Ares smiled in return .
[But now, time is precious . Put more importance to your own conquest . If…if one day both of our goals have finally been achieved, let’s meet here again to have a drink . ]
[Sure…I believe that day will certainly come . ]
Batu also grinned . He then stretched his hand out .
Ares shook that hand strongly .
[The Wind tribe… no, the people of grassland will never forget the benefits they received . ]
[It’ll be tough from now on…but I’m sure that you can achieve your aspirations . ]
And with that, Ares’ army and Batu’s cavalry marched their separate ways .
Ares headed southwest, returning to his territory . Batu led his army west .
It was written in a certain history book as follows .
This year, two suns will rise and illuminate the entire continent… This was the year when they truly started their conquest .
Ares and Batu . Heroes who would become widely known as the 『Hero Sovereign』and the 『King of Winds』respectively in later generations .

The meeting of these two individuals was the turning point for the continent… both for the people of the mainland and the people of grassland .

[My, my… what a great disappointment . I was hoping that they would entertain me a bit more…]
After the two armies left the plains, two silhouettes, one small and one large, emerged from among the remnants of the battlefield in Gayag hill .
Both were dressed in black with a peculiar air floating around them .
[Fuhn, that was such a waste of 『Demon King Artefact』alright . ]
The bigger silhouette sounded annoyed, reprimanding the smaller silhouette .
The smaller silhouette didn’t seem to care too much as he laughed .
[Don’t be like that . We still have a huge amount of supply for 『that』 . Moreover…]
That said, the smaller silhouette took out a black crystal ball .
[Our 『Lord of Chaos』is reviving soon… We need to prepare for that . ]

As soon as he finished talking, the crystal ball started to emit a mysterious glow . What appeared before them was Amqa who had been transformed by the demon king artefact, supposedly disintegrated without a trace on the battle the other day .
[Because we need a lot of soldiers for our Lord’s 『army』 . ]
[Fuhn…necromancy . Using the power of grudge to return the dead to the realm of the living . Your magic is still as vile as ever, Bogdan . ]
The larger silhouette sounded disdainful . On the other hand, the smaller silhouette… Bogdan, snorted .
[What? I’d use anything for our Lord’s triumph . Even if it’s something that is against the providence of Gods . ]
Bogdan said as he turned his sight toward the southwest .
[But the 『War God』is still a thorn on our side after all . We need to curb him off before he gains even more power . ]
[Should we let the 『Grassland Monkey』off?]
[We can take care of him later . But before that… We need to rid ourselves of our greatest obstacle and send him back to the 『Eternal Corridor』]
Bogdan muttered a word or two to the resurrected Amqa . Afterward Amqa started to move slowly, following the two from behind .
The larger silhouette murmured, ignoring what just happened .

[The 『Stars of Fate』are gathering around him… also, the 『Sealed One』and the 『Divine Child』are with him . If we don’t act as quickly as possible, how will we stop him before it’s too late?]
The larger silhouette grabbed Bogdan’s shoulder .
[Perhaps I should deal with this matter myself…]
[No need . ]
Bogdan shook away the hand on his shoulder .
[I’ll see how you can laugh after losing your head . You said it already . That man is surrounded by the 『Stars of Fate』 . Even you might fall before him . Rather than trying to cut his power down in vain, we should sow even more chaos to speed up our Lord’s revival . ]
Bogdan then laughed .
[There seems to be an interesting 『happening』in the east . Our compatriots have already infiltrated there . Anyways, let’s get in touch with Gara . He has long infiltrated the Empire, and it’s time to sow chaos there . ]
Thus the three figures disappeared silently .
Time continued to move forward, slowly but surely moving to a point that nobody could predict .
The chaotic time was gradually approaching the Arcadia continent .
