Chapter 128: War
On August 4, 1110, The Night Emperor ascended to the throne, establishing the Trunsoest empire. The Black Emperor was resurrected from the dead and re-established his fallen empire on the Northern Continent's borders.
The Trunoest and Tudor Empires controlled 5/6 of the northern continent, while the Solomon Empire controlled 1/6 of the continent.
Another historic event occurred that afternoon; the Underworld Emperor declared war on the Trunsoest and Tudor Empires, as well as the Churches of the Evernight Goddess, God of Combat, and Eternal Blazing Sun.
Immediately following that, the Black Emperor declared war on the Tudor and Trunsoest empires.
The Black Emperor allied with the True Creator, who brought his followers to the Solomon Empire to support what little was left after the churches of the seven gods nearly destroyed his servants.
The once proud and arrogant emperor was forced to bow before the True Creator and plead for assistance. The Fallen Creator agreed, resuming their alliance.
On August 5, 1110, the Blood Emperor ordered his angel families to join the war between the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun and the other three churches, declaring that he was defending his country from invasions by Heretic Churches. He also sent his person legions as support.
The Jacob, Tamara and Amon families joined the war, sending trained beyonders to aid the troops of the Eternal Blazing Sun.
Meanwhile, the Night Emperor remained silent about the Orthodox Churches' disputes, while secretly preparing his legion for the upcoming battle with the Solomon Empire and Bayam Empire.
The Underworld Emperor, on the other hand, had mobilised his entire undead army in preparation for a full invasion of the Northern Continent.
The Churches of Evernight Goddess and God of Combat finally broke their long silence by declaring war on the Bayam Empire together. Due to the threat posed by Death, they even managed to put aside their differences and band together under one banner.
On August 6, 1110, the Churches of Lord of Storms, God of Knowledge, God of Steam, Eternal Blazing Sun, and Earth Mother were still concentrating all of their troops for the upcoming legendary war.
By 1 p.m., the aid from the Tudor Empire had arrived and joined the march with the churches of the Eternal Blazing Sun and Earth Mother. The total number of beyonders surpassed 90,000, dwarfing the three-church alliance.
The three-church alliance, on the other hand, received 'secret' assistance from the church of Evernight Goddess, which helped to balance the numbers on both sides.
The armies of both alliances are expected to clash the following morning in the Callide Valley between Hornacis Mountains, beginning the war of four emperors.

The light of dawn illuminated the land, signalling the end of the dreamy night. The smell of iron and blood, as well as the scorching heat of the blazing fire, awoke the world.
The final march of two armies of orthodox churches shook the entire continent.

Every man and woman in both armies could feel the impending doom.
When they were young, they were told that Evil would be vanquished and that Good would prevail. In innocence, they believed that Good was enough.
But no one ever told them this would hurt, that it would cost them thier lives. That there'd be no going back.
No one ever told them about the War. The beautiful calamity. The tragic victory. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
It's tectonic plates and midnight brawls. Laughter and lies and somersaults.
The terms were spoken loud and clear, for all to hear.
A loud laughter suddenly sounded, piercing the heavy atmosphere in the valley.
Blaise Larson Angel of Miracles spoke up, his eyes gazing up at the glaring sun. His voice thunders across the valley.
"Izrial, the Sun, has never bowed to anyone, even if that one was the almighty creator himself."
He looked at Izrial and spat mockingly. "Unlike the storm, who bends to the whims of the night ever so often."
"So, take your terms and begone!"
The herald of Strom smiled no more. His face twisted with amazement and his eyes widened in rage.
"Blasphemer!" Izrial roared, drawing his lightning sword and charging at Blaise.
His sudden attack was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The delicate balance was shattered.
"Charge."
The roars erupted across the Callide Valley. Blood splattered and fire flared up. The mighty armies clashed, blowing their war horns.
The lightning cracked; the sun rose; illusory beams whizzed; sweat stung their eyes like tiny vipers, dripping down from their twisted faces.
All around was a whirlwind of disorder and violence, a blur of colour and vicious motion.
The parched, panting tongues collected the dust-choked air which intermixed with the bitterness of iron. Blood pounded in their ears, drumming to a ferocious beat inside the helmet.
The sound was barely loud enough to drown out the cries of men and women, the shattered white tower, and the thunder that struck the world tree.
Above the lower scent of sweat was the smell of all pervasive fear, carried aloft from clashing bodies that howled amidst a sea of scarlet liquid which drained from friend and foe alike, to soak a once vibrant field of white flowers

This was a glorious tragedy. A beautiful calamity.
This was war.
