Chapter 3967 Fighting Until Their Last Breath

No matter which Astre Lune Sect branch, buildings were reduced to ruins, corpses were found everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers.

As an Empyrean, Gloria led numerous fighters from Eclipse to invade their target and maintained battling in the front line to solidify her position.

Eclipse already had an absolute advantage in terms of power, so the fact that Gloria personally led the assault only further increased her army’s morale.

In just one day, Eclipse managed to take down more than ten branches with overwhelming strength.

Even though the members of Astre Lune Sect tried their best to defend themselves, they were ultimately outmatched by their enemies. The countless deaths in such a short time were enough to dishearten the entire sect.

The forces that survived all gathered at Astre Lune Sect, while those who tried to escape got struck down by the elites of Eclipse.

Inside the meeting hall of the Astre Lune Sect headquarters, Quirina sat down with a face as pale as a ghost.

The faces of the other core council members, too, were drained of color when the surviving elders of the other branches reported their situations in the battle.

“Lord Morell, we don’t stand a chance against Eclipse’s fighters! It’s better if we parley with them.”

“That’s right, Lord Morell. After all, we’re not the ones who killed those at Eclipse Academy. Like them, we’re just victims.”

“You senile lot, do you think the new Empyrean of Eclipse will listen to you? If we’re ready for a truce, Eclipse might not be. The new Empyrean is clearly determined to make an example of our sect.”

Suddenly, the members of Astre Lune Sect fell into despair, and the hall was dead silent until the council members sighed helplessly.

Any fool would know which side to bet on when one was more than spirited while the other was as depressed as a dead tree.

“Lord Morell, the new Empyrean of Eclipse has already reached the city,” reported a subordinate in a trembling voice.

Shivering, Quirina remained quiet for quite a while before slowly rising.

“Elders, don’t be fooled into thinking that we can parley with our enemy. The new Empyrean needs this victory to solidify her position. Now that we’re on the brink of getting wiped out, I ask you to join me in battle. Even if we die on the battlefield, we’ll ensure that Eclipse pays a heavy price for messing with us,” voiced Quirina coldly.

With her charisma, the woman was able to help the other sect members recollect themselves.

Many elders were even convinced to give their enemy everything they had got. After all, Astre Lune Sect was their life’s work. They were willing to defend it to the very end, even if it would cost them their lives.

Afterward, Quirina led the elders out of the hall and straight to the gate, where their faces hardened once again when they saw the countless enemy flags held by a sea of fighters.

At that moment, they could not help but wonder how they would fight against an army more powerful and numerous than they were.

Gloria slowly walked to the front and lifted her head to address those at the top of the gate, “Listen well, Astre Lune Sect. If you open the gate and surrender yourselves, I might just let you live. Otherwise, I’ll barge in and kill every male sect member of yours and make the rest my slaves.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Those guarding the gates were immediately drained of color because they knew being enslaved by a dishonorable sect like Eclipse was worse than death.

“Everyone, fighting to the death is our only hope for a better future. We won’t end well if we surrender,” shouted Quirina. “The elders and I will do our best to hold our enemies back, so make a break for it as soon as you get a chance. Just remember to avenge us if you make it out alive.”

With her moving speech, Quirina managed once again to persuade the members of Astre Lune Sect to stand and fight with her until their last breath.
