Chapter 94: First Glimpse of Brilliance! [Read On!!]

The battle lasted longer than imagined.

By the next day's dawn, the fight was still not over.

The reason for its length lay mainly in the giant clash between Giant General Follen and the Forest Giant Atess.

It was a pinnacle showdown between a Forest Giant and a Gantuva Giant.

The earth shattered, mountains and rivers roiled, and a thunderous roar reverberated across the Klovit region.

The most direct manifestation of this battle was the earth‑shaking upheaval that reshaped the plains outside Klovit.

Valleys, hills, low ravines, and diverted rivers gave way to a vast natural lake that formed overnight.

At a glance, it seemed as if centuries of history had passed, and the whole world appeared transformed.

As time passed, the light of dawn rose.

Specks of golden glimmer rippled over the newborn lake.

Overall, however, the Two-Headed Giant Follen remained tightly suppressed by the Forest Giant Atess.

After all, between the two there was not only a massive size gap but also a natural advantage in realm.

One was a veteran powerhouse who had ascended nearly a thousand years ago to the second‑tier pinnacle.

The other had only broken through the rank a few years prior, a newly‑emerged second‑tier creature, making the disparity obvious.

Facing the city walls, occasional earth‑shaking tremors and fierce roars echoed from beyond.

Yisha Beier was already expressionless with numbness at this point.

For her, even a single day had already altered all her perceptions of this world.

Yisha Beier suddenly realized how alien this world truly was.

She gazed toward the place where a ray of light rose under the distant dawn.

The two colossal beasts were still locked in fierce combat.

Having gone a day and two nights without closing her eyes, Yisha Beier turned and descended the city tower, continuing to command the city's garrison and ministers, arranging the subsequent pacification matters.

At the same time, she assisted the Blood Race Army in setting up camps and supplying provisions.

Crack~ crack~

The clatter of armor rang out, and Yisha Beier, clad in golden armor, after finalizing the arrangements, proceeded to the royal castle hall.

At that moment, inside the hall, at the head of the conference table, Fulade was listening to battle‑loss reports from his subordinate commanders.

Seeing Yisha Beier in full armor, dashing and heroic, Fulade couldn't help but be impressed.

He gestured for Yisha Beier to sit, then continued listening to the report from the royal guard captain Dumitelu.

"According to current statistics, this battle saw the cavalry suffer the highest casualties, exceeding six hundred people."

"Even the pure‑blood legion suffered an astonishing ten‑to‑one loss rate, over a hundred individuals."

Weiluona, hearing this, shook her head and sighed:

"The losses in this battle cannot be called small; despite strategic, numerical, or consolidated advantages, the casualties were still severe."

"We cannot view it that way; these giants' life tiers generally reach the level of mid‑rank monsters, even high‑rank monsters, and among them are a few giants whose life tier meets the Level One standard."

"Moreover, most Blood Race cavalry are just entering the transcendent realm at a primary stage, some only at Entry Level; in terms of power they are innately at a disadvantage, so the losses are reasonable from that perspective."

"."

Dong~ dong~ dong

As a series of knocks sounded, the two who had been at an impasse turned toward the source.

Fulade lifted his knuckles and continued to ask Dumitelu:

"How many giants have we captured?"

Everyone's gaze fell on the guard captain Dumitelu, since one of the strategic goals was to capture these giants and turn them into a Giant Slave Legion.

Facing the expectant eyes of the crowd, Dumitelu said:

"According to statistics, the invading giant legion numbered over 1,200, with more than 300 dead and over 400 captured. The remaining giants, led by two Level One giants, fled toward Sky Island Gantuva."

"Among the captured giants, there was a Giant Captain of Level One life tier."

Having heard the report, Fulade thought briefly.

"Those dead giants are also valuable resources; their blood and bones can provide considerable value to the Blood Race and Wizards alike."

"Especially the Blood Race, the abundant energy hidden in giant blood suits them well; you may allocate them as you see fit."

Fulade addressed Weiluona and Famic, the Blood Race and Wizard representatives.

The deployed forces numbered as many as five thousand, including about fifteen hundred high‑rank Blood Race members belonging to Fulade's line.

The low‑rank Blood Race cavalry, genetically mutated, numbered roughly three thousand two hundred.

The Wizards numbered two hundred twenty.

The most dazzling achievement was undoubtedly the magical cluster of the Wizard formation.

It not only killed over a hundred giants but also shattered the densely packed formation of the Giant Legion.

This left the unsuspecting giant soldiers unable to react in time; otherwise, the Blood Race army's death toll would have risen by at least a third.

This outcome led Fulade to decide that, for a while, a portion of resources would be tilted toward Wizard cultivation.

Fulade looked up at Alide'anna and Famic and said, "The task of marking those giants with slave brands is yours; such work is the Wizards' specialty."

"Once Atess deals with the giant leader, we will march to Sky Island Gantuva and bring it under our rule.

Thereafter, that place will serve as the Blood Flame Temple and our central seat of power!"

Fulade, resolute, rose solemnly and walked out.

In the council hall, as they watched Fulade's distant retreat, everyone felt that Fulade had changed!

Like a sword drawn from its sheath, he revealed a dazzling edge! Naturally, this stemmed from a shift in Fulade's mindset.

"Mr. Fulade, Mr. Fulade," Yisha Beier called from behind.

Looking at Yishabei chasing from behind, Fulade's face showed a hint of admiration.

All day, Yishabei's performance has been observed by Fulade.

Regarding this capable and good‑looking young lady, Fulade naturally holds great admiration.

"Is there something, Yishabei?"

Seeing Yishabei about to speak but hesitating, looking somewhat embarrassed, Fulade seemed to understand something.

"Rest assured, your country will naturally still be ruled by you; I won't lay a hand on it," Fulade said lightly, looking at Yishabei.

"However, as a condition, you must acknowledge my rule and become a member of my camp."

"I don't mean that," Yishabei's fair face showed some awkwardness, but quickly returned to normal, smiling at Fulade and saying:

"Nevertheless, I accept the condition you proposed."

No need for many words; a clever woman is indeed easy‑going.

Fulade looked at Yishabei with considerable admiration.

Facing Fulade's intense gaze, Yishabei's fair, pretty face couldn't help but flush.

She hurriedly raised her hand, using the chance to tidy the hair by her ear to conceal her nervousness and embarrassment.

Then, as if recalling her purpose, she said to Fulade anxiously, "Actually, I'm here to tell you that the Holy Court still has a remnant cavalry unit inside the city."

"I happened to overhear their conversation; they seem to be plotting against you."

Fulade was startled by the words, but upon seeing Yishabei's slightly worried expression, he merely smiled calmly, appearing confident.

"Thank you for the notice; they won't become a factor."

After speaking, he tilted his head slightly; the head of his personal guard, Dumitelu, who followed behind, swiftly led his men away, looking at Fulade, who decided the Holy See Knights' lives with such casualness.

Yishabei's childhood love for adventure and idolizing heroes was sharply stirred.

She was never a rule‑following girl; otherwise, she wouldn't be in "Giant Catcher Jack", abandoning royal luxuries to constantly think of venturing out.

Fulade did not notice the flash of heat that passed through Yishabei's eyes.

At this moment, the two had reached the castle's top, looking toward the still‑ongoing battle in the distance.

Boom—!! A massive roar came from afar, a faint tremor shaking loose a lot of dust above the castle.

At this time, the sky was already bright.

Yishabei could clearly see the distant plain, which, due to the fierce battle of two great Giants, was already riddled with pits, ravines, lakes, and hills.

More than half of the green plain had been stripped away, exposing black‑brown earth and hard rock.

If it weren't for the Forest Giant Atess, who deliberately kept the fierce fighting away from the city, Klovit now would likely have already been destroyed.

"Ah~!" A scream suddenly rang from Yishabei's mouth.

Looking at the trembling Yishabei who had darted into his arms, Fulade couldn't help but show a strange expression.
