Chapter 705: Surviving in the Cracks

The human continent, now the entire human continent is already a soldier, because according to the prophecy, the gate of the demon world will be opened at any time, and the invasion of the demon race may occur at any time, if the invasion of the demon race cannot be stopped, then the human continent will become a purgatory, this is the message that the "Temple of the Brave" has been conveying to the world, and people are of course convinced.

But not everyone trusted the "Temple of the Brave", such as the group centered on the city of Apollo.

In the "Apollo City", Barnett stood on the city wall and looked at the direction of the Demon Gate, even from here thousands of miles away, he could see the black pillar of the Demon Gate rising into the sky, and the war was finally about to begin......

It had only been a few years since Leon and them left, and Barnett looked a lot haggard, his cheeks were shriveled, and even gray hair on his forehead.

After Leon and the others left, the expansion of the "Ass God Cult" also slowed down for a while, and these believers were insignificant compared to the number of people who believed in the "Temple of the Brave", but they were still loyal, and they did not actively participate in the war.

After all, their beliefs have been changed, and although they now believe in Leon, the unreliable "Ass God Cult", they are still different beliefs after all, and they will naturally be skeptical of the war launched by the "Temple of the Brave".

These believers have their own beliefs, and this Josephine can't control it, so the most direct pressure is all on Barnett's spokesperson.

Originally, when Leon was still there, whether it was the military deterrence provided by Leon and Arthur, or Leonardo's various superb control methods for the entire sect, they could ensure the safety and development of the "Ass God Cult".

But now they're all gone, leaving only Barnett, the powerless spokesman, who has worked hard to keep the city all these years, and to be honest, he doesn't believe he really persevered.

In terms of the strategic location of Apollo City, it was an important base for galloping to the aid of the "Sun Never Sets Fortress", and at this point, the city lord Barnett did not shirk it, and gave absolute support to the construction of the "Sun Do Not Fortress", and there was no shortage of orders from above.

Barnett was shrewd, to go against Josephine at such a time was to seek death, to obey when he should have obeyed, and that he could never give Josephine an excuse to make a move.

Of course, Josephine thought about getting rid of the "Ass God Cult", but he hesitated and gave up, on the one hand, Barnett's superficial work was too good, and he really couldn't find an excuse to make a move, and he didn't want to rashly provoke a war, which would damage his status of absolute faith on the mainland.

But more importantly, the intervention of the "Six Great Religions", the war with the Six Great Religions finally came to fruition, and the "Six Great Religions" firmly stood in the lineup of the "Ass God Cult", which was completely due to Leonardo da Vinci, who completely tied the "Six Great Religions" to the chariot of Leon's side.

Of course, it is impossible for the "Six Great Sects" to compete with the "Temple of the Brave", they don't even have "heroes", but they have "secret books" in their hands, these "secret books" are really the only weapons left by the previous "gods", and Leon also said at the beginning that if he uses the real power of the "secret codex", he is also in danger.

Josephine cherishes his life, of course he will not take any risks, who knows what will happen if he really forces the "Six Great Sects" in a hurry, he does not want to make trouble for himself, even if there is only a small risk, he will consider it carefully.

And Barnett endures step by step, as long as he can let the "Ass God Cult" survive, accept all kinds of conditions as long as they are acceptable, and accept them as much as possible after negotiation if they can't accept them, in short, it is a "forbearance" word, and he will never give the temple a chance to find fault.

Fortunately, there is another positive factor in this regard, and that is the existence of "Inhumans".

After Bai gained the absolute leadership of the "Inhumans", the "Inhumans" and the "Ass God Cult" completely became allies in life and death, and this race, which had been hostile to humans for thousands of years and had not been wiped out, was naturally not so easy to mess with.

But Josephine's biggest headache for the "Inhumans" is not their strength, but the "Inhumans'" understanding of the wild land, if they really can't beat them, as long as they hide in the wild land where they originally lived, Josephine has nothing to do with them, and now he doesn't have the energy to chase after the wild land that humans have never set foot in.

And there is another one, that is, the maintenance of the "Ass God Cult" by Queen Eliza, the empire has the largest army on the human continent, although the empire cannot violate the "Temple of the Brave", after all, the people here believe in the temple, and the empire is just a spokesperson for the temple, but the queen still has some right to speak, after all, in the period when the war is about to break out, Josephine has no time to cultivate a new empire.

Various factors are intertwined, and this "ass God Cult" that Leon established in a mess at the beginning actually struggled to survive under the nose of the "Temple of the Brave".

Of course, these were just the factors that Josephine had to consider, and it was Barnett who dealt with Josephine most directly.

So when he saw that the gate of the Demon Realm had opened and the war had finally begun, Barnett was even slightly relieved.

Once the war began, Josephine didn't have so much energy to take care of the "Ass God Cult" anymore, and he could finally take it a little easier.

Thinking of this, Barnett couldn't help but smile dumbly, now thinking back, when he first met Leon and Dolina, these two guys were his evil stars at all, and they were extremely unlucky along the way.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he relied on them to sit on the position of the three major dukes of the empire, and even became a pivotal figure in the sect, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.

In the past few years, it has really been a life with my head hanging on my belt, and now that I think about it, in fact, I just need to surrender?

This seems to be his own style before, as long as he offers the "Ass God Sect" with both hands, Josephine will definitely be willing to reward himself with an official position, at least for the rest of his life, what a simple solution.

But the strange thing is that he has never thought about it like this, although he has wandered between life and death countless times, but he has persevered like this, Barnett couldn't help but sigh self-deprecatingly, he really pressed his whole life on Leon, Leon, Leon, I hope you won't let me down......

Barnett looked at the fully opened door of the Demon Realm, the war has begun, but Leon and everyone, when will you return?
