CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 326: FEELING THE SORROW OF THE WITCH_3

Looking at the empty garrison position, even the Elves couldn’t help but sigh.

As expected of the First Empire’s army, their speed of retreat is indeed worthy of the First Empire’s name within the Human Empire.

And when the Elves occupied the first city, other surrounding cities also began to flee.

Because of the previous situations, these First Empire troops also knew that, under such circumstances, they were completely unable to resist the Elves’ advance.

Rather than a futile struggle, it’s better to run away quickly.

Some with far-sighted vision even gave up on fleeing.

They thought that, after all, the First Empire is probably not going to make it through this hurdle. After all, the places the Elves have occupied before have already been divided up.

If the enemies could be blocked outside the Chang River, the Empire might still survive on half of its territory.

But now it seems, the Empire no longer has the ability to withstand the enemy’s advance.

After all, beyond the third line of the Heavenly Chasm, there’s hardly any decent defense line left.

What awaits the Empire is the Elf Clan’s swift advance, eventually converging before the capital.

The outcome, naturally, need not be elaborated.

Instead of participating in the tragic battle of the Imperial City, it is better to stay here and wait for a peaceful settlement.

These soldiers are clear-minded, and at the same time, they do not have much sense of belonging or honor towards the Empire.

Over the years, the First Empire, in order to develop national strength, has given the Truth Workshop too much convenience and privilege, resulting in the people being oppressed and living unsatisfactorily.

They also suppressed the Holy Light Church, popular among the people, leading to long-standing grievances among the populace.

In such a situation, not many are willing to die for this decaying empire.

Thus, after the Elves stormed the city, Lette did not let them expand further, but only sent small units to the surrounding cities for a symbolic occupation.

Afterwards, he used the same old trick, sending messages to the various Holy Countries, asking them to dispatch envoys to divide these newly occupied cities.

And the Elves, immediately began reconstruction efforts in the city, as well as building new bridges over the Chang River Valley.

This move was unanimously praised by the local residents.

Since no malicious incidents occurred, the residents did not have much hostility towards the Elves.

And when they heard these Elves invoking the name of Holy Sin, they were even more amazed.

Soon, in friendly exchanges between both sides, some strange booklets recording someone’s every word and action started circulating among the public, quickly becoming bestsellers.

And Lette was unaware of this, because he was busy reprimanding Emily.

"Who allowed you to sacrifice your soul to the Demon? No, who taught you such things?"

Lette was very angry: "Is the Demon Power so easy to use? Remember, when you make a deal with a demon, it’s definitely you who gets the short end!"

Looking at Lette’s earnest expression, Emily showed no sign of remorse.

"Sister Lilith taught me! What you just said, I’ll tell her every word of it! So, are you scared?"

Lette came up and gave her a karate chop: "Scared of what, a mantis shrimp! Even if Lilith taught you, it’s still not okay. The Demon Power has a corruptive effect on the soul!

Use it too much, and it will adversely affect one’s personality! In severe cases, it can even twist the soul!

Later, you go find a place to pray yourself, let Joanna help you with the exorcism!"
