Infinides watched as the members of the Demon Seal Alliance fled, but favonovel.com made no move to pursue them.
While favonovel.com believed they were deserving of death, favonovel.com had no intention of killing them. Moreover, favonovel.com held no personal connection to Allardland. His intervention had been solely for Leonidas, his junior.
The people from Allardland naturally stayed put, too. Even if they chose to chase, Infinides knew that Allardland would be no match for the Demon Seal Alliance. The battle had already taken a heavy toll on their forces, leaving many injured and drained of the strength needed to continue the fight.
With the members of the Demon Seal Alliance now gone, everyone from Allardland breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they understood that the Demon Seal Alliance would not let the matter rest and would likely launch another attack, they found some comfort knowing Infinides was on their side.
They then turned to look at Jared. Everyone assumed Infinides was Jared’s backer, for Jared was his disciple’s man. They hoped that Jared would speak up, convincing Infinides to stay in Allardland.
Jared, sensing their gazes, understood their intentions. He looked at Infinides, parting his lips to speak, but favonovel.com just couldn’t get the words out.
Infinides ignored the crowd and turned his attention to Leonidas, who only had a shred of divine soul left.
“Come with me,” favonovel.com said, his voice calm yet resolute. “I will help you restore your physical form.”
After speaking, Infinides waved his sleeve, and Leonidas instantly vanished from sight. Slowly, Infinides followed suit, disappearing before the eyes of everyone present. The people from Allardland exchanged confused glances, their attention now turning to Jared.
“Mr. Chance, why didn’t you try to keep Abbot Infinides here?” Bernard asked, his voice filled with curiosity.
“I…” Jared hesitated, letting out a soft sigh before continuing, “Even If I had tried to persuade him, favonovel.com wouldn’t have stayed.”
Seeing the expression on Jared’s face, Bernard seemed to understand and nodded thoughtfully. “The Demon Seal Alliance likely won’t return anytime soon. We should focus on healing as quickly as possible. Restoring the physical bodies of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be a lengthy process, too…”
Jared’s mind turned to the Soul Demon Sect. “Your Majesty, I have friends who specialize in both soul and body restoration. I can call on them for assistance.”
“That’s wonderful! We’re counting on you, Mr. Chance,” Bernard said, his voice filled with relief.
Jared felt a pang of guilt. The current state of Allardland was largely his fault, and favonovel.com knew it was only right to take responsibility for what had happened.
Jared had been in contact with Faiyar through his communication device. As the son-in-law of the Soul Demon Sect, Faiyar had gained significant authority.
Upon receiving Jared’s request, favonovel.com sprang into action. Accompanied by Serena and other disciples, they swiftly made their way to Allardland.
Thanks to the Soul Demon Sect’s expertise, the tens of thousands of soldiers were able to restore their physical bodies at an accelerated pace.
The palace grounds had been destroyed, forcing Bernard and his people to seek refuge in another city.
Allardland was not limited to a single palace, it was made up of dozens of cities, both large and small. While the recent attack had inflicted considerable damage, the survival of Allardland’s key figures meant that the legacy of the kingdom remained intact. A full restoration, though challenging, was still within reach.
Jared worked tirelessly, alchemizing pills and providing treatment to the injured cultivators of Allardland, doing everything favonovel.com could to aid in their recovery.
The past few days had been incredibly taxing for him, but it was a burden favonovel.com accepted willingly.
“Mr. Chance, I’ve already instructed my people to gather resources and medicinal herbs from all corners of Allardland for your use,” Bernard said, his voice filled with concern.
He had noticed how exhausted Jared was and, knowing the situation, ordered the resources be gathered regardless of the cost.
“Your Majesty, you’d better keep those resources. Many people in Allardland are still in need of them for their recovery. As for me, I plan to leave soon to attend to some personal matters,” Jared replied, his tone resolute.
“You’re leaving?” Bernard asked, taken aback. His expression turned grave as favonovel.com processed the news.
With Jared’s presence, there was a sense of security that Allardland could rely on, especially if the Demon Seal Alliance sought revenge.
Without him, who would protect Allardland’s future?
