With the revived Elara and the soldiers by their side, the defenders' morale skyrocketed. The chaotic battlefield, once filled with despair, now pulsated with newfound hope.

After he spend all his attribute point, now it's time to use blood pact.
He concentrates his mana in his thumb and recites the spell. "By The blood god, I offer my blood and mana. Grant me the strength to surpass my limits." Ren bites his thumb.

Now that he is ready to face General Cedric, he asks Gareth. "Dude, you aim at his leg, I will aim at his hand."
Gareth nodded in response to Ren's instructions. "Got it, let's cripple this ignorant fool."
With their plan in motion, Ren advanced alongside Gareth towards General Cedric.
Ren's eyes fell on General Cedric, who, despite his fatigue and signs of exhaustion, was still a formidable threat.
General Cedric is knight master level, he was equal with Inquisitor Ardian Kennedy.
Ren and Gareth charge at General Cedric, attacking him with full strength.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
General Cedric has a hard time, it's like Sir William and Mashal Roland attacked him before, but this one he feels outmatched.
"Argh!" General Cedric screamed in pain and rage, dropping his sword.
Ren slashed at his left hand, severing it from his wrist. Blood spurted from the wound, staining his armor and the ground.
Gareth took advantage of the opening and swung his sword at his right leg, chopping it off at the knee.
General Cedric collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony. "Fuck! its hurts."
"Eh, that it." Ren surprise that the fight was too fast.
"I thought we would fight much longer." His expectation was too high, leaving him with nothing but disappointment.
"Your expectation was too high, even though he is the same level as that Inquisitor, but he is already too tired, he wasted his strength by killing your soldier." Gareth Miller already expected the end to be like this.
Despite the pain and defeat, General Cedric's gaze held a fiery intensity. He spat out words of resentment and defiance. "You may have killed me, but my king will avenge my death, you won't escape the consequences of your actions."
Ren looked down at the fallen general, his expression unwavering. "Is that your final word? fine, then let's end this stupid war."
Ren raised his sword, prepared to deliver the final blow. Elara, Sir William, and Marshal Roland, along with the resurrected soldiers, watched with a mix of anticipation and relief.
Ren swung his sword, delivering the final blow that ended General Cedric's life. The battlefield fell silent, and a heavy sense of finality hung in the air.

"Milord!"
"Milord!"
"Milord!"
"Attention everyone!" Ren shouted to his people.
"Even if we kill their leader, his army will still remain, kill them, but do not chase them too far after they leave the city, come back here."
The defenders, invigorated by their recent victory, rallied at Ren's command. With General Cedric defeated, they turned their attention to the remaining Royal Army soldiers who still posed a threat to Oscana City.
"Prepare for the final push, we must drive them out of our city!" Ren declared, his voice resonating with authority.
The defenders, led by Sir William and Marshal Roland, charged towards the remnants of the Royal Army.
The battlefield erupted once again into chaos, but this time the defenders had the upper hand. The Royal Army soldiers, disheartened by the loss of their leader, faced a united and determined opposition.
Ren, wielding his sword with precision, fought alongside his loyal soldier. The chaotic energy coursing through his veins, courtesy of the Blood Pact, enhanced his strength and agility, making him a formidable force on the battlefield.
"Mercy!" Knight A.
"No please don't kill me I have a child, please I beg you." Knight B.
"Argh!" Knight C.
"Help!" Knight D.
Ren and his soldier ignore their plea and give them quick kill, so they don't have to suffer from the pain honestly these people invade his home just because one person, it is their king who order to revoke his title.
As Ren and his soldiers pressed on with the final push against the remaining Royal Army forces, the defenders executed their duties with a mix of determination and efficiency. The cries for mercy from the surrendered soldiers fell on deaf ears, as Ren had made it clear that the consequences of war were harsh.

After they drove them out of town, Ren shouted, "Attention! Everyone gathers at the city hall."
The atmosphere in the city was tense, yet victorious. The defenders, battle-weary but resolute, awaited Ren's next command at the city hall.
Ren, with Elara, Sir William, Marshal Roland, and Gareth by his side, addressed the assembled defenders. "We've won a hard-fought battle today. But our work is not over."
"First I want to introduce you with my clone, Gareth step up."
Gareth stepped forward, his presence commanding attention. The defenders looked at him with a mix of curiosity and awe. Ren gestured to Gareth, "This is Gareth Miller, even though he is clone, but you should respect him as your liege."
Gareth tilted his head in acknowledgement of Ren's words. "Even though I am a clone, my mind, thoughts, reason and logic are different from the main body, I hope everyone will remember that."
Sir William Ask Ren "But milord how should we call you."
Ren simply said. "My name is Ren."
Ren declared that his original name gives it to his clone, and he name himself to Ren and did not add a noble house name for his last name. The audience at city hall absorbed this information.
"Second, I want my fiefdom to gain independence from Verdant Glades Kingdom."
The declaration hung in the air. The city hall buzzed with whispers and exchanged glances.
They were not surprised because they were fighting the coalition army that wanted to invade their home.
"Milord, what should we call our nation?" Mashal Roland asks.
"Oscana Principality, the government is an absolute monarchy without a noble system. Merit based officers receive titles from me, but their children cannot inherit the titles like nobles do." Ren explained what his new nation will be.
"So, its viceroy?" Mashal Roland adds.
Ren nodded. "Yes, you can think of it that way. Those who prove themselves through merit and service to Oscana Principality will be rewarded with titles and responsibilities. It's a system based on meritocracy rather than hereditary privilege."
Sir William spoke up, "Milord Ren, it's an honor to be a part of this new beginning. We'll follow you and work towards building a prosperous future for Oscana Principality."
Ren appreciated the support and loyalty of his companions. "Thank you, Sir William. Together, we'll overcome the challenges and pave the way for a brighter future."
"Third, Gareth and I will become the Gods of Chaos, and you will refer to us as the Twin Gods." Ren explain, why he wants to make his own religion.
"The reason we make our own religion it's because our existence is heresy toward, the will of the world just because we purse immortality, that why I make new path for my follower to become an anti mage, and eventually we will replace the will of the world with my clone."
"And one day, the entire world will be filled with chaotic energy instead of mana. Not only that, but we will also travel to another dimension to invade it."
The declaration of Ren and Gareth becoming the Twin Gods and the pursuit of a new religion, and the invasion of other dimensions left the audience in city hall in a state of astonishment. Whispers and murmurs spread through the crowd as they tried to comprehend the magnitude of Ren's vision.
Sir William, although loyal to Ren, couldn't help but voice his concern. "Milord Ren, the idea of becoming gods and invading other dimensions... It's ambitious, to say the least. How will this benefit Oscana Principality and its people?"
Ren looked at Sir William with a determined gaze. "I understand it may sound ambitious and even alarming, but the truth is, the world we live in is bound by certain rules, rules that restrict our potential. By becoming the Twin Gods and forging a new path, we free ourselves from the limitations imposed by the current order."
Gareth added, "This is not just about personal power, it's about reshaping the very fabric of reality. The chaotic energy we harness is a force that defies the conventional norms of magic and mana. It's a step towards true freedom and enlightenment."
"Fourth, destroy every religion and conquer every kingdom, republic, horde, clan, sect whatever that is we will fight it, our policy toward other nation will be hostile." Ren explained his policy towards other nations.
"The third point provides the answer, so there is no need to re-explain it."
The fourth point, declaring a policy of hostility towards other nations and the intent to destroy every religion, sent shockwaves through the audience at city hall. Murmurs of disbelief and concern filled the room as the citizens and officials tried to grapple with the implications of such an aggressive stance.
Sir William, ever the voice of reason, stepped forward with a furrowed brow. "Milord Ren, I understand the desire for independence and progress, but outright hostility towards all other nations and religions... It seems like a path that could lead to unnecessary conflict and suffering. Is there no room for peaceful coexistence and diplomacy?"
Ren met Sir William's gaze, his eyes unwavering. "I appreciate your concern, Sir William. However, the current state of the world is one of stagnation, bound by the rules set by those who came before us. Our pursuit of progress, freedom, and enlightenment may clash with the established norms. To achieve our goals, we must break free from the chains that bind us, even if it means challenging the existing order."
Gareth chimed in, "The hostility is not an arbitrary choice, it's a response to the inevitable resistance we will face from those who fear change. We must be prepared to defend our principles and ideals against those who seek to maintain the status quo."
