I.. Am God?

Those who bow down and worship the Divine shall be granted mercy, but those who wish to stand in their way shall be bathed with blood.

On the 7th month of the 23rd year of Falos, in Ashenheim Pass, a pass directly connected to the walls of Gremor, Helos' Capital City's wall.

Fifty thousand armed Sanster forces were waiting for the arrival of the Yale Army.

They have heard the feats that the army have accomplished on the way north, which frightened them.

In front of them was the marching army of Yale, holding their banners up high and the symbol of the Divine Church atop the banner.

"Surrender now, army of Sanster! The creator of the world is with us to unite the land!" Asher yelled.

"How dare a mere peasant talk to a noble Duke that way? You're seeking death!" A general standing in front of the pass while holding his spear facing the sky sneered and shouted back.

"Position!" The general yelled.

The soldiers clumsily arranged themselves into groups and faced the enemies. Seeing that, Matthias facepalmed

'The formations here are so primitive! Well, I can't blame them as they haven't really experienced war yet. They're going to suffer if the northern men discover the grasslands.'

"Men! Arrow Formation! Let these guys taste what true formations are!" General Salbio, a man trained by Matthias, raised his sword up high and waved it down while sitting on a horse.

With his signal, the intimidating cavalry assumed a triangle formation made to pierce the enemy lines and accelerated towards the enemies.

"Archers," a skinny man with sharp eyes shouted and loaded his bow with an arrow that he got from his back, with all of the soldiers behind him following suit, "Aim," he drew the bow and aimed it upward, with the soldiers following him, "Fire!"

As soon as he yelled "Fire", thousands of arrows flew up and curved down, going towards the enemy.

"Ah!!"

"Ahhh!!"

"No!"

"It hurts!!"

The arrows hit many enemy soldiers as the arrows reached them, messing up their positioning.

"R-return!" The enemy general saw that they were at a disadvantage and turned to flee.

The other soldiers followed suit and ran for their lives. But can man outrun a horse? Only if one is superhuman.

The cavalry caught up with the running soldiers. Then, bloodshed began.

The cavalry's spears pierced the backs of the soldiers. Then, when they arrived midway into the valley, archers appeared on top of the mountains and directly shot the panicking soldiers.

After a while, the fifty thousand soldiers of Sanster fell beneath the hooves and arrows of the Yale army.

This battle became later known as "The Battle of Ashenheim Pass" which shook the East. People will sing praises to Asher and his army of Yale that is guided by Wang Zhong while people will also loathe Asher and the cruelty of the Yale Army.

When the Yale Army exited Ashenheim Pass and entered the premises of the Sanster Capital, the eastern kingdoms were shaken. To survive an assault of fifty thousand men with twenty thousand men is definitely an impossible feat for them.

So, when the nobles of the two kingdoms were notified of the victory, they armed themselves to help the two kingdoms to resist the Yale Army.

If Asher was of noble birth or an official with high status, they would have supported him. But Yale is a ruler that descended from a commoner.

When the Yale army arrived, they started the siege against Gremor.

The east was introduced to siege weapons. Battering rams, catapults, and ballistas were set up outside the walls of Gremor.

The gates of Gremor were shaken by the ramming of the battering ram, stones were thrown inside the city by the catapults, and the bolts that were shot by ballistas impaled the soldiers and made them fly.

A week later, the nobles of the two kingdoms gathered fifty thousand men and journeyed to Gremor.

But when they saw the menacing formations and the gates that are already on the brink of destruction, they were terrified.

They frantically formed a flimsy formation that was inspired by the marching formation of Yale. But will that be able to do anything?

"Boom!"

Eventually, the gates of Gremor flew wide open and the cavalry entered the city and was faced by the resistance army.

Pikes were pointing towards the cavalry. When Matthias saw that, he became a little impressed. The adaptability of humans against their enemies was truly fast.

But it's already late. Can they do anything to change the inevitable unity of the East?

The horses galloped and suddenly turned around, which surprised the resistance. But suddenly..

"Charge!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers of Yale appeared from behind the cavalry and charged when they turned around. The commoners inside the houses of Gremor also appeared and ambushed the combined forces of Sanster and Nortos.

Hours later, the last man of the resistance has fallen. Augustus Sanster was captured by the cavalry and was executed.

Nobles who also tried to help Sanster were also executed and their wealth seized.

After the tense atmosphere cooled down, the Divine Church took over and preached with Wang Zhong.

While preaching, the sun shone brightly on the land, enchanting the citizens of Gremor. They started to believe and kneeled while chanting and praising Matthias' name.

Seeing that, Matthias smiled and looked at his Divinity slowly rising.

After the preaching, the army of Yale started enlisting men to be trained to now fully unite the land.

Matthias then announced his departure, "The Creator is already calling for me as I have completed my mission. He shall descend once the land is united again. May you spread his name for thousands of generations to come!"

After saying so, Matthias floated and was bathed with divine aura before vanishing. Seeing what had just happened, the citizens rejoiced and were in awe of their Creator's power.

"Gloria nimus un Matthias!(Glory to the name of Matthias!)"

"Gloria!"

"Gloria mun Victus!(Glory with Victory!)"
