Chapter 362: The Horn of War
Rachel sat in her chair and looked at Todd: "The 'Mother Goddess' Eleanor is mainly responsible for the review, management and cultivation of all members of the Clash Legion, unlike Lawrence, who runs the property under the name of the Elders, although she rarely appears in the outside world, but among the three elders, her reputation is the highest. ”
Todd asked, "Is it because she's the strongest?"
"No, not really. Rachel shook his head: "If you only talk about the level of strength, the most powerful existence in the entire Council of Elders is the two leaders of the legion, but these two have no way to shake the status of the three elders. ”
Seeing Todd's puzzled expression, Rachel continued to explain: "Lawrence's position comes from his control over the Elders' subordinate estates, using the ability of 'Soul Link' to control and control the words and deeds of the heads of the estates, and then control the economic lifeline of the entire Presbyterian Church, while Eleanor is different from him, the status of the 'Mother Goddess' comes from the submission of the vast majority of legion members to him, and a large number of warriors call her the master mother and swear to defend her with their lives. ”
Todd pondered for a moment and asked a question, "Why did Eleanor get the support of most of the legionnaires?"
A flash of sorrow flashed in Richel's eyes: "Because she can give life to the warriors, and she can watch them rot and die in their wailing." ”
Todd rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "If everything is really as you say, then what is her purpose?"
"From beginning to end, Eleanor had only one purpose, and that was to gain eternal life. Rachel lowered her head, her voice sounding low and lifeless: "It is rumored that she has a beauty that ordinary people cannot imagine, and can satisfy all human desires. Theodore, the president of the Relief Society, had a crazy crush on her when he was young. But even so, Eleanor has one thing that she longs for but can't reach, and that's time. She longs to get rid of the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death and become a truly immortal being, but she has never found a way. ”
Todd touched his chin and said worriedly, "If Eleanor is in the Holy Acropolis right now, then things will be complicated. ”
Rachel shook her head: "No, she won't come, putting herself in danger has never been Eleanor's style. She would only hide in the distance, quietly watching the situation unfold, and only when things were completely under control would she carry out a deadly attack. ”
Todd breathed a sigh of relief: "Then the people who appeared in the Holy Acropolis could only be the xenomorph soldiers of the Discord Legion, the question is, what is the purpose of their trip?"
Rachel stood up from her chair and gritted her teeth in hatred and whispered, "I don't know, but I'm sure that as long as it's what Eleanor wants to do, it's not a good thing!"
Todd looked at her in surprise, "It sounds like you have a lot of grudges against this elder. ”
"If Clarence is a vicious criminal, then Eleanor is a true demon!" Richel's nails were embedded deep in her skin, "What she did, even if she used never-ending torture, was not enough to atone for her sin!"
Todd was silent for a moment, then turned to Rachel and asked, "Is it possible to get information on all the members of the Presbyterian Council in the Holy Acropolis before the election for the throne begins next week?"
Rachel was stunned for a moment and glanced at the other party: "You can give it a try, but I can't pack the ticket to succeed." ”
"I have a plan, and if implemented properly, I may be able to solve the big problem of the Holy Acropolis once and for all. Todd flicked the 3D modeling of the Magic Magnetic badge with his hand, "But there may be some risks. ”
Rachel looked at the badge and asked tentatively, "How are you going to deal with the magic magnetic crystal that imprisons the ability?"
"I've done tests and found that the size of the Magnet Crystal is directly related to the strength of the imprison ability. The larger and purer the Magnet Crystal, the stronger the imprisoned ability and vice versa. Todd smiled and said to Richel, "However, if you want to imprison me in the form of a tyrant, unless a large number of magic magnets trap me, it will not work at all." ”
Richer still looked a little worried: "In addition to the threat of the Magic Magnetic Crystal, there are also the warriors of the Clash Legion, the royal army of the Holy Acropolis, and the Knights of Stigmata of the Church. Although these three military forces are said to be their own battalions, they are all potential enemies after all, and we have too few people at our disposal......"
Todd winked at Richel, "Who told you we don't have hands?"

Froststone Camp, Tribal Hall.
Alfonso slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Valkyrie Evie not far away, and said, "Your Majesty's will has been issued. ”
Evie lifted the sword beside her and said to the former, "My sisters and I will ride on griffons and reach the Acropolis in three days, what about you?"
Alfonso first combed the wriggling parasite limbs on his head with his hands, then put the pitch-black helmet on his head, slowly stood up from the ground, and said, "The warhorses of the Knights of the Twilight West are all well-bred xenomorph mounts, and it will not be a problem to reach the Holy Acropolis within seven days. The point is that the defense of the camp ......"
Evie carried her sword behind her back and said with wide eyes, "I'll say it beforehand, I prefer passionate offense to boring defense. ”
Alfonso waved his hand: "Well, as you wish, I will leave a team of people in charge of the defense of the camp." Moreover, the army establishment of the Froststone Camp has basically come to an end, and it will not take half a month for the completed camp troops to form combat strength. ”
Twilight City, Cabinet Hall.
Emerson opened his eyes and looked at the cabinet members around him, and the expression on his face could only be described as crying and laughing: "Your Majesty is now in the Holy Acropolis and asks us to start preparing for war. ”
Cumberland shook his head in annoyance: "This kind of behavior is nonsense! It's all that woman named Richel, she has been following His Majesty's side, it must be her demagogy!"
Terrence touched the silver whisker on his chin and said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to talk about this, what do you think about the situation in the Holy Acropolis that Your Majesty said?"
Cumberland stood up from his chair abruptly: "What else can you think?! Just because Your Majesty is now in the Holy Acropolis has decided that we must send troops!"
Elijah, a disciple of Terrence, pondered and said, "Your Majesty spoke of the book 'Justification by Faith,' which we wrote. He asked us to print the book and distribute it to the royal families of every parish kingdom through scholars and trade. ”
Terrence sighed: "Your Majesty's meaning is already obvious, through the Holy Acropolis incident and the promotion of 'justification by faith', the contradiction between us and the church is gradually being clarified. ”
Emerson, who had been silent, added at this time: "It is an unchangeable fact that sooner or later the church will break with Twilight. But at this time, the religious status of the church could not be shaken simply by weakening the military power of the church and amending Bible entries. ”
Terrence looked at Emerson, "And ...... you mean?"
Emerson said meaningfully, "We need to create something to take the place of the church." ”
Cumberland, who was already waiting impatiently, blew his beard, widened his eyes, stretched out his palm and slammed the table: "What are you doing at this time talking about what you are not talking about?! You cabinet members hurry up and give me the paperwork to send troops!"
Emerson and Terrence glanced at each other, the former shook his head helplessly, and said loudly to everyone in the cabinet hall: "Now, in the name of Your Majesty, I issue a military mobilization order! The officers and non-commissioned officers of the Knights of the Twilight West will cancel all vacations from now on and enter a state of emergency combat readiness!"
