Not long after, a Six-Winged Angel came to report, "Lady Talia, the troops we sent to clean up the battlefield have gained very little! Most of the Power Stones, equipment, blueprints, and other spoils of war were taken away."
"I understand!" Talia wasn't surprised because the same had happened in the previous waves. It could be seen that there were people in the enemy camp who were specifically responsible for cleaning up the spoils of war and Talia guessed that these thieves were Castle Lords.
The Six-Winged Angel had guessed this as well and said angrily, "My Lady, aren't we indirectly working for those Castle Lords? Those cunning worms are hiding behind the enemy lines and when their army retreats, they steal the spoils of war that belong to the Lord. How hateful!"
"Those worms are indeed despicable." Talia nodded. She discovered that during every wave, the first ones to clash with their army were basically the beastmen of the Dynasty Alliance. As for the Castle Lords' troops, they always stayed behind and when they were about to retreat, they would pick up whatever they could and run away.
As a result, the most casualties in these waves were from the intelligent beastmen races of the Dynasty Alliance and the ones who benefited the most were Castle Lords. As for the Great Aetherium's royal army, apart from obtaining some exp, their gains were basically negligible.
Talia stood on the city wall and said with a grim expression, "Let those Castle Lords be happy for a while. When the final battle arrives, we will kill them all and reclaim those stolen spoils of war and present them to the Lord. Those worms will pay for their sins with their lives. Praise the Lord."
"Praise the Lord." The Six-Winged Angel agreed, and her eyes were filled with cold light.
…
Tonight was destined to be a night of skirmishes. The nine cities of the Great Aetherium were all attacked by the armies of the Dynasty Alliance and the Prairie Heaven Alliance in multiple waves. On average, every city was attacked at least three times.
Comparatively speaking, Haru's army didn't suffer any losses while the enemy armies lost almost ten million troops but the Castle Lords profited massively from this night as their armies had minimal losses compared to the Dynasty Alliance but no matter what, Haru still earned a lot of exp.
After this night's battle, Haru's troops had more or less increased their strength. Many troops even advanced to a new level after killing too many enemies, which was the greatest harvest for him.
…
Finally, the night passed as the Endless Prairies and the Andes Highlands seemed to be covered in a layer of gold. The allied army no longer continued to attack the nine cities and Haru guessed that they might be preparing for an even larger attack. After all, it was about time the final battle began.
After all, the rulers of the Dynasty Alliance weren't stupid. They saw through the Castle Lords' plans of using them as meat shields and then even stealing the drop items. If this continues, then even if they destroy the Great Aetherium, then their so-called 'allies' will end up destroying them as well.
If it wasn't for the fear of affecting the final battle, the rulers of the Dynasty Alliance would have fallen out with the Praise Heaven Alliance. It was one thing for them to not properly participate in the battles but for them to desecrate their comrades' corpses and even steal the spoils was crossing a line.
"Those treacherous Castle Lords… after the Great Aetherium is destroyed, we will start with them. I swear not a single one of them will survive."
This was the furious roar of Beamon Dynasty's King obtained the approval of the rulers of other dynasties from the Endless Prairies like the Fox Kingdom, Swan Dynasty, Silver Wolf Dynasty, Fishmen Kingdom, etc.
…
In comparison to the sad rulers of the Dynasty Alliance, the Castle Lords of the Prairie Heaven Alliance were chatting excitedly:
"After last night's battles, my troops managed to gather over 30,000 Power Stones, over 200 pieces of equipment and a dozen blueprints!"
"Crap! You guys are making a fortune!"
"I've also earned some resources. Although it's not that exaggerated, it still far surpasses my earnings from daily hunting!"
"Hahaha! I have obtained a barracks blueprint that can recruit Tiger-kin troops!"
"Barracks blueprint? Bro, you made a fortune. If you sell it, it would at least get you 100,000 Power Stones!"
"It will be even more than that. The Tiger-kin are high-level troops!"
