Chapter 345 The end of Silver Kingdom part 3

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

With the lead of Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte, everyone left the Silver City and continued on walking further away.

The same scene was also going on (the) outside, everyone from the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, Snow Noble Household, or the defeated Silver royal family were choosing to leave after Queen Maria and Madam Silva informed them of the incoming danger.

Those fortunate civilians who were able to arrive at the relocation area before being abandoned didn't hesitate to follow after as soon as they learned of the reason why everyone was evacuating as far away as possible from Silver City.

"Unfortunately, even though we have won this war against the Silver royal family, we still lost against the Black organization..." Cassandra said as she laughs in self-mockery.

"The weakness of people fighting for the light is indeed the weak people, that's why they can't always win against the bad and evil people in the dark..." Elizabeth can't help expressing her thoughts.

"However, that doesn't mean that we are incapable of fixing this one day in the future." Angel looked up at the bright sky as she continued, "Maybe that's why after the depressing rain there exists this bright and comforting light..."

"Maybe, or maybe not..." Veronica was unable to agree or disagree with Angel's words. She was still feeling depressed about this situation.

"Hmmm..." Even Ash was unable to describe what she really feels. Even though she has killed millions of people after causing that Poison Mist Disaster back at Dragon Horn Empire, the thoughts of not saving other lives were indeed really depressing. Maybe it's because killing and saving a person are two different concepts that cause different emotions to spark within.

"Let's just keep on becoming more and more powerful, so that in the future we won't be saying all these depressing words again." Charlotte said before letting out a soft chuckle, but it only lasted for a few seconds before her mood was also dampened. It was like she got infected by the mood of everyone around her.

Meanwhile, back at the location of the lining civilians.

When the civilians finally saw all of the men who once rescued them and promised them hope, going farther and farther away from them, they first looked at each other and seem like they are thinking of the same thoughts, the second after, they immediately started running for their lives to save themselves.

The muscular man that punched Matt in the face before suddenly shoved the woman who was breastfeeding her own baby in her arms that had slapped Venice before to the side in order to delay the others. He then right after started running away. He knew that being ahead means no one will try to sabotage him to save themselves, hence he didn't hesitate to do such cruel action.

That woman who was shoved by the muscular man to the side immediately stood up, abandoned her baby without any hesitation, and also shoved that kid who threw a rock at Jeffrey's face before to the side in order to delay the others.

That kid who was shoved to the side quickly stood up, picked up that baby, and soon after he throws the baby behind in order to delay the others before running forward.

It wasn't only the muscular man, the woman who was once breastfeeding her own baby, and that kid who threw a rock who was doing such cruel and heartless action to the others. Everyone was basically shoving, pushing, pulling, punching, kicking, and doing everything else to either delay the others behind or to overtake the others in front of them.

It really shows just how much desperation and despair they were all in right now. And that those words they have just spoken to Cassandra and everyone who abandoned them was just plain hypocrisy.

Moments ago, they were all pointing at Cassandra and everyone who abandoned them, saying that they were all weak, spineless, and many more curses about abandoning them. It was pretty much a show that will allow them to have someone to blame for being weak. But the next moment, they themselves also started running away and abandoning the weak, doing the same action as Cassandra and everyone who chooses to abandon them.

The moment a few of the civilians finally arrived outside the Silver City walls, they then quickly began looking around to find where Cassandra and everyone was so that they will follow after them, thinking that it's much better to follow after people who clearly knew about what to do than to just randomly run. And after finding them, they then swiftly run towards their direction, while at the same time still sabotaging the others.

Far ahead of the others, Queen Maria and Madam Silva finally stopped flying and looked back at the Silver City.

Queen Maria can't help shaking her head as she expresses her regret, "Unfortunately, in the end, neither side of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance or Silver royal family won the war, but rather it was the Black organization who triumph..."

"It's simply because the Black organization was more prepared compared to all of us." Madam Silva heaves a sigh of helplessness. If they were given the same starting line as the Black organization, then the end might not have been necessarily like this.

The Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household might have won the war right now, but in exchange for it was them losing the Silver Kingdom.

.....

At the west side of Silver City, Barbara who was leading the army of Black organization put her hands up to motion for her army to stop. She already noticed that the war is over and that the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household has won.

Suddenly, Barbara smiled as she said, "I guess there is no need for us to continue ongoing to the Silver City." She then turned to look at everyone, "Change of plans, we will leave the Silver Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Patriarch Arvin Williams, Patriarch Timothy Will, and Patriarch Jacob Will quickly understood what Barbara meant about her words as they all quickly sent a new order to their men, "Everyone, begin marching to the direction of the Blacksmoke Canyon!"

They have already planned to abandon everything they have left in Silver Kingdom the moment they begin marching to the Silver City, which includes the Williams City and everything they have worked hard to build.

There was absolutely no turning back for them anymore. Of course, if they can win the war, then they can return to their territory, that is, if they will still be able to live and can really win the war.

On the other hand, if they lose, then they will not hesitate to leave because Barbara has already told them that she would blow up the entire Silver Kingdom using the Chaos stones that they have planted all these years, as a result turning the Silver Kingdom into a wasteland.

Although it is still indeed possible for the people to live in this soon-to-be wasteland of a place, but would there really be anyone that will choose to go through all the efforts of rebuilding a wasteland? In their opinions, no one will, since it's much better to just build a new territory in another place compared to a wasteland.

Barbara turned back to look at the Silver City for one last time as she said in full mockery, "Do you really think that you can have Silver Kingdom? If we can't have Silver Kingdom, then no one can have Silver Kingdom! HAHAHAHAHA!" She then turned around to follow the already marching Black organization to the south.

This has always been how the Black organization handles things when taking over any territory. If they can't have what they want, then they will destroy it so that no one will be able to have it. It was a very simple concept of, "To give it to them or be destroyed!", as in literally!

.....

"I've already finished moving the majority of the Chaos stones in the surface to the middle of Silver City using all of my puppets just like what you have asked. So, are we leaving now?" Queen Spider, or now goes with her real name Andrea, asked Reinhart who was watching what's going on outside through a big glass pale on one of the rooms somewhere in Silver royal family's castle.

"For you, who do you really think have won this war?" Reinhart asked as he turned around to look at Andrea, who was no longer using Fifth Princess Fiona to disguise the real her. The real Andrea was a beautiful woman with black hair and gray pupils, just like she wanted illustration, currently wearing a civilian's clothes to disguise herself. This kind of disguise might work to ordinary people, but to someone like him who is a peak 9th Galaxy Special Mage, it was pretty easy to guess that she's not a civilian. After all, she was a 6th Galaxy Mage, something not befitting for a so-called civilian.

"Who really won the war? Isn't it obvious already, of course, it's the Black organization." Andrea replied while shrugging her shoulder, "I've already informed you about the Black organization's trap planted throughout the entire Silver Kingdom, and that once they activate this trap, the entire Silver Kingdom would be as good as no more."

Hearing Andrea's words, Reinhart shook his head as he said, "If only it was as good as that..."

The real winner of this war wasn't the Black organization, but rather it's the Gods who were like playing a game of chess up above the Celestial World.

The black pieces were those Gods' pieces, while the white pieces were them, the weak, powerless, and helpless mortals...

No matter what they do, unless they become as powerful as those Gods, then they will forever be losing this battle against them.

Clinching his hand, Reinhart murmured, "However, soon this would definitely change!"

With a snap of Reinhart's finger, a really tiny wisp of Mana that the Gods of the Celestial World would just ignore, travel from his hands going straight to Leo's consciousness. After arriving inside Leo's consciousness, this tiny wisp of Mana then went straight into a corner and unlocked something like a seal.

What Reinhart had done to Leo's forgotten memories in the past wasn't really erasing the memories, but rather sealing them. This was another ability of his unique capability of erasing memories. After all, what he had sealed were memories related to the Red Cube and stuffs related to Magic. Therefore, if he indeed removes such memories, it would instead result in a negative effect and would not achieve what he was planning to do.

In the past, Leo was still too young to embark on a journey of being a Mage and fight against the Gods. That's why, in Reinhart's opinion, it's much better to just first seal those memories related to the Red Cube and Magic related stuff, which unfortunately also includes Elizabeth due to her Cultivation technique, and only unseal those memories when the time is right.

"It's now the right time for you to remember those sealed memories, my dear younger brother!" Reinhart said before disappearing from the Silver royal family's castle along with Andrea and her two important puppets King Erskine and Fifth Princess Fiona.
