Chapter 346: Peace
Under the emerald green rain, Hela, pushed by the wings transformed from the gray crows behind her, turned into a black dot and rushed towards the magic position at an astonishing speed.

She looked in the direction of the magic formation, and her uneasiness grew stronger and stronger.

Although everyone on the War Council was not aware of Roland's true strength, they regarded him as a powerful high-level spellcaster.

However, Hela knew that this was just Roland's disguise to increase the trust of the committee members in Roland.

In fact, Roland was only a sixth-ring spellcaster. Even a few years ago, when he entered Donnar, Roland was only a fourth-ring spellcaster like Hela.

While moving forward at high speed, Hela bit her lips. She hated her own powerlessness.

When they were promoted from the first ring to the fourth ring, Roland and Hela's promotion speed was almost the same, with only a difference of a few years.

However, Hela's advancement speed slowed down after she was promoted to the fourth ring. Even though she had been meditating hard, she could not be promoted to a fifth-ring spellcaster. But Roland was different. In just eight years, Roland was promoted all the way and directly reached the level of a sixth-ring spellcaster.

In order to obscure her own strength, only Hela knew about Roland's promotion.

He was not a veteran spellcaster who had been in the eighth or even ninth ring for countless years as the other committee members imagined. In fact, Roland's promotion to the sixth ring happened just two years ago.

While flying at high speed, Hela kept touching the space anchor point in her body, trying to use this space anchor point to teleport directly to Roland.

However, the spatial anchor point that Roland personally constructed and placed in her body lost its sensitivity to the anchor point in Roland's body and had no effect at all.

According to what Roland had said to Hela before, this spatial anchor point can sense each other even in spatial turbulence. Unless Roland blocks it or the space is severely disturbed, it is unlikely that they cannot sense each other.

Of course, in addition to these two possibilities, there is another possibility, which is death.

If Roland died, the space anchor would collapse on its own.

Although Hela was certain that Kan'ozu was dead, after all, the heavy rain that was falling was a legendary world phenomenon of death, but Hela did not know whether Roland was dead or alive.

After all, Roland was only a sixth-ring spellcaster, so there would definitely be no unusual signs when he died. Moreover, Hela did not have any props that could sense whether Roland was alive or not.

Just as Hela was running towards the magic position at high speed, behind her, a cavalry army composed of soldiers from different primarchs was also running towards the magic position.

Kanaozu's death does not mean the end. After losing Kanaozu, this big goal, some problems within the War Council began to quietly surface.

Among them, the biggest problems are undoubtedly those of Roland headquarters and the local faction.

In order to unite all forces to deal with the green tide, the War Council absorbed a large number of external forces. Among them, the forces that joined or rose because of Roland or Roland's policies were divided into Roland headquarters.

The original members of the resistance army and the Donnar extraordinary people who came from the coalition army to join the army are Donnar locals. However, the Donnar civilians or refugees who rose to prominence because of Roland do not belong to the locals, but to Roland headquarters.

Although Roland's headquarters was completely stronger than the local faction, most of the local faction rallied around Odin. Therefore, although the local faction was a little weak, it was still relatively united.

But Roland's headquarters is different. There are many internal conflicts. Basically, there are more or less conflicts between various intelligent races, conflicts between ordinary military extraordinarys and the original bodies, conflicts between regular legions and the original body legions, conflicts between the college extraordinarys and the military extraordinarys, conflicts between the central faction of Apocalypse and the local faction, conflicts between different beliefs, conflicts between the army and the bureaucracy.
Conflicts arising from beliefs, power, and interests have always existed.

The conflicts within Roland's headquarters were quite serious, but in order to fight against the Green Tide, they all united around Roland and temporarily suppressed these conflicts. However, these conflicts have always existed.

If Roland survived, then nothing would be a problem. No matter how big the conflicts were, they would still unite around Roland. And relying on the supreme prestige brought by killing Kan'ozu, Roland would be able to find ways to ease and resolve these conflicts.

Even if the external threat is eliminated, these internal contradictions will only be limited to internal struggles and will not evolve into division or direct civil war.

However, if Roland and Kan'ozu died together, then no one on the War Committee would be qualified to serve as chairman. Internal conflicts might become greater, and division and civil war would only be a matter of time.

Everyone in the War Council who had some insight knew all of this, so while Hela was flying towards the magic field at a very fast speed, many people also wanted to send people to the magic field to check out the situation.

However, their thoughts were suppressed by Tula. As the commander-in-chief appointed by Roland himself, no matter what they thought, Tula had the right to suppress all their thoughts.

Although their thoughts were suppressed, the soldiers and extraordinary people still obeyed orders and stood at their respective posts, but the atmosphere on the northern wall was becoming somewhat weird at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After maintaining the somewhat eerie atmosphere of the northern wall, Tula also sent out the Primarch Legion to block the magic position.

Everyone is waiting for news about the magic field.

In the magic formation that countless people were concerned about, Roland was floating in the air. The aura on his body kept changing, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Above him, the consciousness of the dark elemental world was watching him, and below him was a huge deep pit.

This was undoubtedly caused by the falling sky.

Roland, who was missed by countless people, naturally survived. However, the necromancy in his body did not stop, but continued to advance at a very slow but steady pace.

Roland frowned, desperately resisting his own transformation into a spirit.

If even Skyfall couldn't kill Kan'aozu, Roland would choose to embrace the undead and be promoted to a seventh-ring spellcaster. However, since he had already killed Kan'aozu, Roland naturally didn't want to become an undead.

Because Roland successfully killed Kan'ozu and fulfilled his oath with the civilians, soldiers and extraordinary people who died at the hands of the Green Tide, the power of the oath, resentment and breath of death in his body were all purified and actively flowed into Roland's body.

With the help of these energies, Roland was passively promoted to a seventh-ring spellcaster, and his second soul sublimation was also about to begin.

However, Roland couldn't accept it. If Roland were to advance to the seventh ring in his current condition, who knows what Roland would become.

You know, Roland now has a bunch of messy powers including resentment, breath of death, shadows of the elemental world, shadows of the material world, the origin of knights, the power of destiny, the legendary blessing of the Crown of Domination, etc.

In addition to his strength, Roland's body had already become more than half undead, and he still had the legendary power left by Kan'ozu, as well as the price he paid for casting the forbidden spell, a debuff called World Rejection.

If he were to be promoted under such circumstances, Roland had no idea what he would become.

Although the original intention of Roland's promotion was to use the energy transformed from oath, resentment and the breath of death, it would be a disaster for him if it were executed now. Roland resisted the promotion and forcibly prohibited the second soul sublimation. The rolling soul sea was just about to be prepared for the soul to materialize when it was forcibly interrupted by Roland.

After his sublimation and promotion were interrupted, Roland naturally suffered a serious backlash, and his aura dropped rapidly.

Roland opened his eyes which had returned to their red color, and with some difficulty, he expelled all the remaining chaotic power in his body. Except for his own magic power, the power of destiny and the blessing of the Crown of Domination, he expelled all the rest.

At the same time, Roland will also eliminate all the shadows of the elemental world and the material world that he is carrying.

After doing this, Roland's breath became several levels weaker.

Finally, Roland looked up at the consciousness of the dark elemental world, feeling somewhat helpless. He did not expect that the necromancy would actually attract it.

Roland extended his perception and rejected the invitation from the dark elemental consciousness. He stressed that he had no intention of transforming into a undead and expressed his willingness to dedicate the undead essence in his body to it.

After knowing Roland's idea, the consciousness of the dark elemental world did not say anything. It directly extracted the undead essence from Roland and left the material world.

The undead essence created during the necromancy process was sucked away, and Roland's degree of necromancy dropped instantly. Roland also seized this opportunity and, with the blessing of the Crown of Domination and the Black Crystal, violently reversed the final necromancy and restored his original appearance.

After recovering, the last bit of Roland's power of destiny was completely consumed.

After the power of destiny was consumed, Roland also lost the blessing of destiny, and his luck in reaching the top quickly dropped to the bottom.

After realizing this, Roland raised his head slightly and saw Hela rushing towards him at a very fast speed. He immediately used his magic power to prepare a letter.

Then, after more than ten months of intense fighting, Roland, who had just stripped away all the messy powers from his body, closed his eyes and fell into a coma.

Just as Roland fell into coma and slowly fell from mid-air, about to fall into the deep pit below, Hela finally rushed to the magic position. She flew to Roland's side and stretched out her hands to catch the slowly falling Roland.

At the same time, the letter that fell to the side was caught by Hela's magic.

Hela carefully carried Roland to the ground beside her, and stretched out her senses to carefully check Roland's condition. The wings behind her quickly disappeared and she turned into a gray crow again.

The gray crow's eyes turned white and it flapped its wings weakly.

Although Roland's breath was very weak now, even weaker than that of an ordinary person, and he looked very fragile, a force was emanating from the Crown of Domination, protecting Roland's last bit of breath.

After checking and confirming that Roland's breathing was stable, Hela breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the letter beside her, and read it carefully.

After reading the first few columns of the letter regarding the War Council's instructions, Hela looked at Roland helplessly, thinking helplessly in her heart.

I knew you would be concerned about the War Council.

After reading Roland's instructions to the War Council, Hela continued reading.

After the war committee, Roland explained his condition. He was just too weak and needed to hibernate for a month or two. He was not dead yet, so he asked Hela not to worry about him.

Compared to the instructions to the War Council, these explanations were only a few short lines. Even the words of comfort to Hela at the end were only half written and incomplete.

Really, if you’re not in good condition, just go into hibernation early. I’m not that fragile.

Hela put the letter away helplessly, and aside, Gray Crow looked at Hela who was secretly happy and rolled his eyes silently.

Then, Hela carried Roland in her arms and walked along the cobblestone road.

After Hela walked away for a distance, the loyal mixed primarch legion also arrived at Hela's side. Under Hela's command, they escorted Roland back to Apocalypse together.

After the Mixed Primarch Legion hastily escorted Roland back to Apocalypse, the news of Roland's victory and survival reached the other side of the Northern Wall.

Everyone at the North Wall breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Roland was still alive.

However, the news of Roland's coma was completely blocked, and only a few people knew about it. At the same time, the room where Roland was sleeping in Apocalypse City was also strictly protected and blocked.

Security is provided by loyal Primarchs and their legions.

Since Roland had already made a contingency plan, his coma did not affect the normal operation of the War Council, and Hela took over the temporary command.

The twelve executive committee members also saw the unconscious Roland under the supervision of the Primarch and his soldiers.

After confirming that Roland was alive, the twelve executive committee members also recognized Hela's temporary command, and the executive committee started to operate again.

After the Executive Committee was back in action, the War Council methodically ended the state of war and full war mobilization began to be lifted.

The city defense forces and militias ended their conscription one by one, the application of botany and necromancy was also restricted again, the wartime economic policy began to adjust and return to a normal economy, suspending the exploitation of the land and minimizing the continued spread of dead lands.

The industrial zone also switched from a wartime state to a peacetime state, reducing military production, and the huge army on the northern wall began to withdraw one by one. At the same time, a large number of extraordinary people withdrew from the battlefield and returned to their respective posts.

With the return of administrative officials headed by Julius, the administrative system of the War Committee once again began to operate at high speed and began to calculate the huge price paid by the War Committee for this war.

According to the plan Roland prepared in advance, the Executive Committee was methodically stopping the war machine called the War Committee.

Security and peace finally returned to this suffering land.
