Chapter 196: Tear It Down

  The elite soldiers, who had suffered heavy losses, breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Tres blow the retreat horn.

  Looking at the wounded soldiers, Tres couldn’t help but sigh, shouting at the top of his lungs despite the danger of being hit by Matthew’s le fireball spell:

  "This battle, we lost."

  "Please treat these soldiers well. Our Carlisle family will pay the corresponding price to redeem them all!"

  Although he said this, Tres felt unsure in his heart. He lowered his head ahe soldiers who could still move, retreating as fast as possible.

  The elite soldiers of the Carlisle family, who had made a name for themselves in Blood Moon City and the Eastern Province, suddenly felt immense shame and guilt.

  They looked at their wounded rades, who were howling in pain.

  Not daring to meet those longing eyes, they lowered their heads and fled.

  Iure, they would never want to e to the desote Foggy Marsh again.

  Matthew watched their hurried departure, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his staff, choosing not to tiag.

  Killing them would certainly vent his anger, and he could gain a lot of Fate Power.

  But the sequences were too severe.

  Although the Carlisle family had broken the rules first, it was still sidered a minor skirmish.

  As long as they aowledged their defeat and offered pensation acceptable to both sides, the matter would be over.

  If he pursued and killed the soldiers who had already surrehe Carlisle family would likely bee locked in an endless flict with Bay Territory.

  Both sides would engage in a fierce battle without restraint until one side was pletely destroyed, or the matter escated to the Noble cil.

  At that point, her side that had started the flict would e out unscathed!

  Since he couldn’t directly crush the opposition, Matthew had to hold back.

  After all, Bay Territory, secluded as it was, still o purchase a rge number of supplies from the outside world and recruit refugees.

  At the same time, Bay Territory also had to sider its image in the eyes of other nobles.

  Being vengeful would make other nobles fear and hate them, and Matthew’s steps to expand his influence would face eveer obstacles.

  Shaking his head and pushing aside these unpleasant thoughts, Matthew looked down at Bobo, who was smiling obsequiously, and poi the elite soldiers fleeing in the distance:

  "Keep an eye on their every move, and make sure they leave this area."

  "When you return, I’ll craft an ented on for you!"

  Overjoyed, Bobo, with the promise of an ented on eg in his mind, nodded frantically like a pounding garlic:

  "I’ll make sure to plete the task!"

  With that, he darted to a nearby ft mud pit, stomped on the head of Old Crocodile Six, ell camoufged, and shouted in a shrill voice:

  "Wake up, let's go!"

  Watg them leave, Matthew strode toward the still uled battlefield.

  Yaya, who had beeangled with the Super Earth Elemental for a long time, had long abahe idea of a o kill.

  She patiently cleared the rock shield behind the Super Earth Elemental before nimbly attag its core.

  The clumsy Super Earth Elemental was helpless against the agile Yaya.

  It roared in vain, struggled madly, and even rolled on the ground, causing the earth to tremble, but it could never shake her off.

  Ange directed the soldiers to the battlefield, treating all the wounded and colleg various spoils and supplies.

  A portion of these spoils would bee the soldiers’ rewards.

  Ange, seeing the Super Earth Elemental’s gradually shrinking form and the cracks appearing on its body, curiously asked:

  "Lord, aren’t we going to capture this Super Earth Elemental? If we could trol it…"

  Shaking his head calmly, Matthew, who also felt regret over the abnormal Super Earth Elemental, patiently expined:

  "We ’t trol it. See the red in its eyes? That’s a sign of corruption!"

  "Although it’s not too deep yet, in the end, it will bee a puppet of those monsters, serving as their spy and sve."

  "Just like those creatures corrupted by the Scarlet Moon..."

  Gng up at the blood-red moon, Ange recalled some terrifying memories. After nodding silently, she turned and instructed the soldiers to begin clearing the corpses.

  Burning all corpses was an iron rule of this world!

  Upon receiving Matthew's and to "Tear it down," Yaya dispyed extraordinary enthusiasm.

  She tore a rge hole in the back of the Super Earth Elemental, then took a deep breath.

  "Roar…!"

  With the passage of time, the jagged crack spread rapidly, c the entire body of the Super Earth Elemental.

  At the same time, the inally hard stones seemed to have beehered by time, being mottled and loose.

  The fatal damage caused the elemental creature to roar in fury, and its entire body began to glow yellow, attempting to absorb the power of the earth to heal itself.

  Unfortunately, Yaya didn’t give it the ce. With one cw, she ripped through the looseones, directly tearing the Super Earth Elemental apart.

  Amid its terrified screams, Yaya viciously bit down on the rge Earth Elemental crystal.

  The massive body of the Super Earth Elemental quickly crumbled into fist-sized rocks, colpsing with a loud crash.

  "Ding, Yaya has killed the Super Earth Elemental, gaining 30,000 Fate Power!"

  "Ding, you have received the spoils: Corrupted High-Tier Earth Elemental Crystal!"

  "Ding, your soldiers have killed 1,125 enemies, earning a total of 35,000 Fate Power!"

  The total harvest of 65,000 Fate Power.

  It was equivalent to two months of accumution.

  Taking the Corrupted High-Tier Earth Elemental Crystal from Yaya’s mouth, Matthew suddenly remembered:

  "Corruption… there seems to be a rge quest reted to corruption near Blood Moon City…"

  He made a mental note and patted Yaya on the head:

  "Had enough fun now? Go bad rest well!"

  Satisfied, Yaya grinned, fpping her wings as she soared into the sky, disappearing into the blood-red clouds.

  This was, of course, an illusion!

  Matthew didn’t have any time to spare, so he and Auro the other battlefield, arranging for more men to it up.

  He then led elite soldiers to unch a decisive raid on the Carlisle Ruins Camp.

  The remaining soldiers at the Carlisle Ruins Camp, upon learning that Matthew would not sughter them, quickly chose to surrender.

  Matthew had no choice but to up the camp, sending the captives to the safer Murloc Camp and deploying a group of soldiers to garrison the area.

  Dealing with various matters, Matthew was busy for the entire night.

  While Matthew worked tirelessly through the night,

  news of his victory over the Carlisle family army spread rapidly through the upper echelons of Blood Moon City, causing a siderable stir.

  Many nobles revised their opinions of Bay Territory.

  They were preparing to explore tact with Bay Territory.

  The most excited, of course, was the Carlisle family, one of the parties involved!
