Chapter 1236 - 1236 210 Slightly Better_2

1236: Chapter 210: Slightly Better_2 1236: Chapter 210: Slightly Better_2 The seemingly fierce battle, in reality, was just Belsden being provoked by a call of “big dumb bear”, and so he fought with a few sparks of real anger.

The rest were just going through the motions of the fight.

The older, the more afraid of death; this also applies to Strongmen.

Those who are ever ready to fight desperately can hardly live to their age.

As the battle continued, more and more warriors from the Human Sanctuary began to falter, yet everyone remained calm.

It became a war of attrition, which exactly suited everyone’s intention.

A desperate fight from the get-go would be very disadvantageous to those who had just broken through to the Sanctuary; however, in a war of attrition, no one backed down.

Archbishop Tyron, who was caught in a tough battle, suddenly made a difficult decision.

With a wave of his Magic Wand, the seal upon it was removed, revealing the true form of the Divine Artifact.

Immediately, a ray of Holy Light blessed those in the Human Camp, and the originally outmatched warriors turned the tide of battle in an instant, tipping the scales.

“Divine Artifact!”

After such an exclamation slipped out, in the depths of the Alien Coalition’s hearts, only a myriad of “fuck”s remained!

Today’s turn of events was truly thrilling.

The sudden eruption of the Earth Bear was headache-inducing enough, and now a Divine Artifact had appeared out of nowhere.

Everyone was no amateur – almost with a single glance, they confirmed that this was an Inherited Artifact of the Clergy.

A Clergy’s Divine Artifact in the hands of an Archbishop seemed normal, but the problem was that this Archbishop belonged to the Alpha Kingdom!

Could it be that the disputes between the Clergy and the Alpha Kingdom were all staged to deceive everyone, and that they were actually on good terms?

This thought had just arisen when everyone immediately dismissed it.

The conflicts between the Alpha Kingdom and the Clergy had been paid with blood; what’s the point of staging such an act?

The only explanation is: the origins of the Divine Artifact are dubious!

In a brief moment, everyone imagined a series of dramatic scenes of a power struggle over the Artifact between the two parties.

Especially the four Sanctuary Powerhouses from the Human Race who had come to help thought even deeper.

The rumors about the lost Church Relic had circulated on the Continent for several years.

Originally, it was thought to be a rumor made up to undermine the prestige of the Clergy, never expecting the news to be true.

With a conclusion reached, filling in the process became much simpler.

Everyone unanimously believed that they had found the true reason behind the Alpha Kingdom and the Clergy’s fierce dispute.

Deep in their hearts, they couldn’t help but admire the Clergy’s restraint.

Even with an Inherited Artifact being taken away, they didn’t immediately mobilize an army to retaliate.

No, to be precise, the Clergy did mobilize forces, but they were simply unlucky.

Before they could deal with the misfortune of the Alpha Kingdom, they ended up getting involved themselves.

Setting aside the vendetta between the Clergy and the Alpha Kingdom, the encircled Alien Holy Lands at this moment didn’t look good.

One plan after another had failed, and the situation was completely out of control.

To continue the fight would indeed be risking lives.

“Cease fire!”

Miss Derris’s words made everyone’s movements pause, but had no effect on Belsden’s actions.

The earlier name-calling of “big dumb bear” had embittered the bear.

With a smack-smack of his great paws, he greeted them directly.

If not for the Unicorn’s help in taking the brunt, there might have been a fatality.

“Belsden, come back!”

Marshal Hudson called to the young bear.

To gain an advantage was to score a win.

If they truly pressed the Alien Sanctuary Powerhouses too hard, none today would walk away unscathed.

A desperate Sanctuary pulling others to back them up is a horrific sight.

With the elite of the Kingdom all here, should they be lost, it would take twenty years to recover.

In such an era of great strife, without power in hand, there will only be tears too late to be shed.

Sounding the cease-fire from both leaders, the Sanctuary Powerhouses present all breathed a sigh of relief.

From the recent fight, each side had roughly sized up the other’s capabilities.

Everyone had ample lifespan to enjoy life and to continue climbing the path of cultivation; there was absolutely no need to risk their lives over a momentary anger.

“Miss Derris, the fight is over now, and you’ve had your vent.

Let us continue discussing the main issue, shall we?”

As soon as Marshal Hudson finished speaking, everyone rolled their eyes.

The fight was indeed over, but the getting “even” was clearly getting shortchanged!

Looking at Belsden with his silly, endearing look, who could have thought that he was just now the irritable Earth Bear?

Miss Derris undeniably paid the price for her sharp tongue.

If she had known how fierce the bear would be when provoked, she definitely wouldn’t have mentioned “big dumb bear”.

“Hmph!”

“Marshal Hudson, you should know the unwritten rules within the Sanctuary Grove Circle.

To maintain the balance of the Continent, the forebears of each race agreed upon the rule that Sanctuaries must not strike out against ordinary people at will.

Let’s let bygones be bygones on this matter, but there must not be a second time!”

With the firmest tone, she delivered the most cautious words.

Hudson wanted to laugh, but forced it back down.

Some things shouldn’t be done too thoroughly.

Women, when mad, can be reckless.

Should he offend her too much, and she runs rampant in his territory, the loss would be substantial.

Even if he could retaliate, vengeance could not compensate for the loss!

As a mature Lord, one must learn to weigh the pros and cons.

“Miss Derris, you should be aware that I, Hudson, have always been one to abide by the rules.

How could I possibly break them?

This incident was not caused by me.

If the Orcs hadn’t provoked us, there would be no tragedy today!
