When those Wing Tribe mbers returned, they didn’t even take the valuables they had seized. In fact, because they were worried about affecting their flying speed, they discarded everything they could.
They just wanted to leave this land beneath them as soon as possible.
Ever since they set foot on the continent called Bratis, this was the first ti they had been so utterly defeated, like dogs that had lost their ho.
Moreover, even when those four hundred people returned to Prosperity Corner, they still didn’t feel secure. There were about ten thousand Allies here, but initially, the army of over seventy thousand led by Tristan had been utterly defeated by Ireya.
The Wing Tribe also didn’t think these ten thousand could defend Prosperity Corner, so after a brief rest, they planned to continue fleeing, back to Lion Heart Castle.
But just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Hannah.
"Where are you going?"
"Lion Heart Castle." The leader of the Wing Tribe was nad Benny, a Chiliarch, and he was quite polite to Hannah, even though Hannah had previously acted against Solomon.
But after all, the other party was a Wizard, and held a respected position within the Wing Tribe.
Hannah seed thinner than the last ti they t, but her expression was still calm.
She looked behind Benny, "Are there only so few of you left?"
Benny nodded.
"I saw that you also brought back a few bodies, was Lord Solomon among them?" Hannah asked again.
Benny was silent for a mont this ti. He rembered Solomon’s dying instructions to keep news of his death under wraps to steady the other Allies.
But Hannah wasn’t an outsider, and such matters couldn’t be hidden from the witch before him.
So he straightforwardly admitted, "We encountered a curse brought down by a Foreign God nad Saturday on that land. Lord Solomon was very strong and kept fighting against the terrible curse, but in the end, he couldn’t hold on.
He paused and then said, "Wizard Hannah, why didn’t Mother Goddess Gaia protect us?"
In fact, this was also a question that puzzled many Wing Clan Warriors.
Hannah’s expression remained unchanged, "Although we are under the sa sky, there are few temples to Gaia here, so naturally, its power is difficult to transmit."
Benny sighed, "If I had known, we shouldn’t have gone to Saturday’s doorstep to fight."
"Who says otherwise." Hannah said lightly.
"Forget it, talking about such things is aningless now. Wizard Hannah, we’re ready to leave, please co with us." Benny said this and then thought of sothing else, frowning, "I rember there were fifty of our people in Prosperity Corner, left by Lord Solomon to protect you and Lady Lannita, why don’t I see them?"
"They, no, I should say, we, like you, were also affected by Saturday’s curse, and most of the people couldn’t survive."
"What, you were also affected by the curse here?" Benny’s eyes widened.
"Indeed, but fortunately, in a critical mont, Mother Goddess Gaia also perford a miracle to resist that Foreign God." Hannah replied.
Benny was montarily stunned, then couldn’t help but rejoice, "Mother Goddess, the Mother Goddess finally took action? Did you find a way to defeat that wicked Saturday?!"
But then he thought of sothing else, and his expression darkened again, "Unfortunately, it’s already too late... We’ve nearly lost all our troops in the western border, and with just these few people, we can’t intimidate those Allies below anymore.
"Lord Solomon warned us that rebellion is coming soon."
"Did he tell you what to do?"
"He told us to return to the Hardland Continent."
"You plan to return to that land full of barrenness and disaster?"
The speaker was not Hannah, and the voice ca from behind Benny, causing him to turn around and see a familiar figure.
"Lady Lannita? Are you alright, this is wonderful."
The young girl smiled, "I’m far from being alright, in fact, I’ve already died once, but it was Gaia who perford a miracle to bring back."
Hearing this, Benny looked at Hannah, and the Witch nodded, "Lady Lannita’s heart did indeed stop beating earlier, and for a long ti.
"We were going to carry her to a nearby hill to hold a funeral for her. Who knew she would co back to life halfway there."
Lannita also said, "Gaia told that it has a mission for , I cannot die yet."
"Is... is this true?" Benny was greatly shaken.
"Every word I said is true. Besides Hannah, many in the city knew about my death. Hannah even went to find the imperial people’s Priest, to see if they had any way to deal with the curse on ."
"I’m not doubting your words, it’s just that all this is too incredible." Benny murmured.
"Precisely because of this, it’s a miracle." Hannah said from the side, her eyes full of respect as she looked at Lannita.
"What does Gaia want you to do?" Benny asked again.
The Wing Tribe girl uttered two words, "Survive, it wants us to survive on this continent."
"But how can we survive?"
In fact, Benny didn’t really want to leave Bratis either, it was too prosperous here, with dazzling goods, quality weapons and armor, various small things he had never seen before, and plentiful food.
These were all things Hardland didn’t have. Not knowing was one thing, but having experienced the happy life here, no one wanted to return to Hardland to suffer.
But they had too few people left. Even, counting the injured soldiers in Lion Heart Castle, they only had around a thousand.
This few people couldn’t possibly conquer this continent.
"Did Gaia tell you anything?" Benny looked earnestly at the Wing Tribe girl.
Lannita neither affird nor denied, "We need to change our strategy. Stop thinking of monopolizing this rich continent, and stop thinking of enslaving those Land Species. We must carefully select our Allies, real Allies."
"We’ll assist them, help them defeat other competitors, and in return, they will provide us with protection, land, food, and servants."
Benny frowned, "You an we should coexist equally with those Land Species?"
"If necessary, we can even swear loyalty to them." Lannita said nonchalantly.
"But isn’t this contrary to the original divine mission of Gaia, which sent us to conquer this land." Benny was shocked.
"The situation has changed, and that’s also why the Mother Goddess perford a miracle to resurrect ." Lannita explained.
