Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1258: Ending The War (Part 1)

During the major fights that were taking place, the war carried on, and the main leaders in pushing forward were the Crimson Crane.

They were able to target the key members of the Empire that were using the items from Alter.

In some cases, they had destroyed the generals completely; in others, they had used their powerful items against them.

In a lot of ways, the items lent by Alter might have been their downfall. The powerful items were given to the generals.

This was typical as it was believed that the strongest and most important members for the war were to be handed them.

This was also the reason why they were targeted, but with them falling, there was next to no one to pick up their place.

There was chaos amongst the soldiers that were continuing to fight. They were just doing what they could to survive.

Even with the items they had been given from Alter, many didn't know how to use them properly, and they were fighting against Pagna warriors for the first time.

The use of Qi was hard for those that weren't in the world to grasp. They didn't understand the dangers of a fist, or how the warriors could move around.

How warriors were able to fight against swords with their bodies. All of it was striking fear.

The Empire's people were wondering if the two of them were even of the same race.

As the war continued to move on and the war was clearly being dominated by one side, a common thought was being spread across the people.

'The pact between the warriors and civilians, that was there to protect them.'

It wasn't to make sure that humanity wasn't completely destroyed. It wasn't to protect the warriors who were lacking in number.

It was to protect the lives of civilians who didn't wish to train their bodies or achieve immortality.

Now they were starting to understand that. As they were being pushed back closer and closer to the wall with no orders, they didn't know what to do.

The only thing that they could rely on were the warriors they had on their side, those of the Light Faction.

But they were unaware that all of the main leaders of the Light Faction had fallen to the enemy.

Some of the higher-ranked Light Faction warriors had retreated onto the castle wall.

Fighting was taking place alongside it. Alba was pushing, fighting against various of the Light Faction leaders, and next to her was Cornker, Lily, and Tilion.

They were a force to be reckoned with as they fought together, and they were proving themselves.

That those that started from a Wander clan could even fight against those from the top Light Faction clans.

It was part of their journey, what they had set out to prove. When they had no place in any of the factions, when people laughed and ridiculed them all.

They had managed to overcome all of that and reached the position they were in.

On the wall on the other side, Beatrix had also managed to scale the area, and with her, Safa, Liam, Dame, Rayna, and Fing had caught up.

Thanks to Safa's healing powers, Beatrix was feeling a lot better and wasn't as weak as she started out.

As for those that she was going up against now, that were in front of her, they were the elders of the Dawnblade Clan.

"Wait!" Beatrix said as she pulled her sword out in front of the others.

"I don't think there is a need for our two sides to fight!" Beatrix shouted. "Look at the war that is going on, you should be able to tell with your eyes, the flow of the fight.

"It's already useless, the victor has already been decided in all of this. The support you had from Alter has fallen, the Light Faction leaders that brought you into this pointless war, all of them have fallen!"

The Elders looked nervous as they were looking at a former ally that was in front of them.

They seemed to be more hesitant as they listened to Beatrix. They remembered when she was in the clan. Her actions, how she was one of the most moral out of all the others.

"Impress fed you lies!" Beatrix shouted. "She was the one that had killed Ricar…I saw what she had done, how she was able to get into her position.

"I'm sure some of you might have already known all of that, and I did too, so she wanted to get rid of us. But none of that is important.

"Right now, you are some of those that hold the most weight in this war!" Beatrix said. "As members of the Light Faction, you should know that the best thing you can do, is convince them to stop it.

"We don't have to continue! If you do, if you don't give up this fight now, there's a good chance that the Dark and Demonic Faction will enter this city, and even those that aren't part of the war will get hurt!

"If it gets to that point, neither me or you can stop them!"

The Elders' hands were shaking. They didn't say anything as they stared to their left where the fight was continuing to take place.

Then they stared to the right, where they could see the worried faces of the public. Hoping that the enemy didn't get through.

In the end, the Elders of the Dawnblade Clan had made their choice.

"Beatrix is right…we must stop this fight! Spread the word!" The Elder shouted. "Spread the word that the Dawnblade clan has surrendered. The Light Faction has fallen and suggests that the others do the same."

For Beatrix, this was the best result she could have hoped for, but just as members of the Dawnblade Clan were ready to spread out.

They could see it, something was changing on the battlefield, something no one understood.
