Chapter 157: The Battle of the Holy See
Sadly, I forgot my account number, password, and I forgot it when I cleaned up the traces yesterday.
Riverside Town, one of the border towns of the Empire of Light, is only less than 5 kilometers away from the Quinn River, the natural border between the Empire of Light and the Empire of Darkness, which is also the first place where the Empire of Light invaded the Empire of Light.
The Quinn River is not only the natural dividing line between the Empire of Light and the Empire of Darkness, but also the natural dividing line between the two countries and the Alliance Empire, the Quinn River has two major origins, one is from the Nightmare Swamp not far from the City of Chaos, and the other is from the Rum River of the Alliance Empire and the Orc Empire, and now the water of the Quinn River is tens of meters deep, all because of the large melting of the glaciers in the upper reaches of the Rum River, the Empire of Light did not expect the Dark Empire to launch an attack at this time, you must know that the Quinn River at this time is turbulent, And there are a large number of water-based demonic beasts swimming in it, which comes up from the sea.
So caught off guard, Riverside Town fell into the hands of the Dark Empire at the first time, and now Riverside Town is the Dark Empire's headquarters in the Light Empire, and now in the general headquarters, everyone is frowning, and the atmosphere is very unusual.
"Everybody talks, what are we going to do now? It would be fine if we took Hulun City, but several high-ranking knights reinforced by the Holy See of Light had already entered Hulun City, and our follow-up troops were trapped on the other side of the river. "The one who spoke was a big man in bright armor, his name was Sasis, the commander of the Eastern Legion of the Dark Empire.
"Your Excellency Legion Commander, there is a large-scale group of water system demonic beasts swimming in the Quinn River, and the despicable enemy actually dumped a lot of blood in the river, and now there are at least tens of thousands of water system demonic beasts in the Quinn River cruising in the water, and as time goes by, the number of demonic beasts pouring into the Quinn River is also increasing, just two hours ago, a squadron of soldiers tried to cross the river, but no one went back." The chief of staff, who was standing next to Sasis, gave everyone the latest information.
"Can you ask the people of the three major knights to destroy the water demonic beasts?" Germain, the head of the Heavy Armored Knights, who was sitting below, suggested.
"No, the three major knights are to deal with the three major knights of the Bright Empire, and the empire is not ready for a full-scale war with the other party at all." Sasis shook his head and replied, you must know that the Dark Empire and the Empire of Light have three major knight orders, although the Empire of Light and the Dark Empire have been hostile for tens of thousands of years, but the number of real all-out wars is pitiful, once the three major knights are dispatched, then it means that there will be a full-scale war again, in the case of the strength of the Alliance Empire is getting stronger and stronger, the high-level of the Empire of Light and the Dark Empire will not launch a full-scale war, this war is just a large-scale tentative attack by the Dark Church, Otherwise, there would not be no high-ranking members of the Holy See to participate in the war.
"Report to your lord, since the people of the Bright Empire can lure the water-based demonic beasts over, can we also use the same method to lure the water-based demonic beasts away, it won't take long, just after our army crosses the river, it's fine." At this time, another young staff officer beside Sasis said tentatively.
"Yes, a good idea. What is your name? Sasis's eyes lit up, and he nodded admiringly.
"The small one is the Kus of the Ksla family, adults, we can also add a small amount of medicine to the blood, so that some of the water-based demonic beasts fall into madness, as long as the water-based demonic beasts start killing each other, then the later results can be imagined, maybe we can make a small fortune." Kus hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
"Well, but since you proposed this plan, let you carry it out, what do you think?" Sasis was very happy in his heart, and his eyes changed when he saw Kus, and he was a little appreciative, so Sasis gave Ule Kus a chance.
"Thank you for your love, the little ones are still young." Kus hurriedly refused, what are you kidding, I didn't see the cannibalistic eyes of the chief of staff, you must know that Kus's family is just a third-rate family in the Dark Empire, and the chief of staff's family is a first-class old nobleman, so Kus quickly refused.
"Chief of Staff, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm going to see the results in two days. Sasis stood up and commanded in a loud voice.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Legion Commander." All of them immediately stood up and bowed in reply.
Also in a difficult situation with the Dark Empire is the high-level of the Empire of Light, the Pope and several cardinals in the Council Hall of the Holy See of Light, all with sad faces, the battle of the rocky cliff, the Holy See not only lost a cardinal archbishop, but also lost several paladins, as well as several senior priests, which is extremely rare in the history of the Empire of Light, but rare is rare, in the first time after the death of Bai Beryllium, the family of Bai Bryllium was ruthlessly purged, and there are many crimes, And the seats left by Bai Bryllium are also eyeing several cardinals, you must know that the difference between cardinals and cardinals is very big, but the pope has not yet appointed anyone to be the cardinal archbishop, so the atmosphere in this chamber is a little weird.
"You all tell me that the people of the Dark Empire have occupied several small towns, and Hulun City is also surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy troops, once Hulun City is broken, everyone here will leave their names in history, but it is just an infamy for the ages, tell me what you think?" The Pope of the Holy See of Light seems to be more than ten years old overnight, the Rocky Cliff incident has given the Pope of Light the heaviest blow, even the four-winged angel has only the share of running, the Pope of Light tore the person in charge of intelligence work to pieces as soon as he got the news, and now the most important thing is not to say that the threat of the Holy See of Darkness, but the problem of the hateful wanted criminal, once this wanted criminal goes berserk, the Empire of Light will only perish.
"Your Majesty, Border Emergency!" While everyone was silent, a paladin hurried in, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, this morning, the Dark Empire has added nearly 100,000 elite soldiers to Riverside Town." The paladin reported eagerly.
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
"How did the Quinn River cross?"
"Tell me more?" The Pope of the Empire of Light also changed his face, 100,000 elite soldiers This is all the elite of the eastern provinces of the Dark Empire, you must know that the western provinces of the Dark Empire border the Empire of Light, so the combat effectiveness is the first in the Dark Empire, and the western provinces of the Holy See of Light originally had a very strong military force, but in order to prevent Black Dragon City, tens of thousands of cavalry were mobilized from the western provinces to be stationed in the eastern provinces, plus the death of a cardinal archbishop, so the Holy See of Light is now overstretched.
"Yes. According to reconnaissance, the Dark Empire dumped a large number of corpses hundreds of miles downstream of the riverside town, including the corpses of people and animals and the people of our empire, so the water-based demonic beasts in the Quinn River flocked to the downstream overnight, taking advantage of this opportunity The nearly 100,000 elites of the Dark Empire were able to cross the river safely. This paladin couldn't hide his anger, you must know that if there is a war between the Dark Empire and the Light Empire, there will not be a single prisoner, even if it is a civilian, you must know that these two empires are controlled by the Holy See, and the people of the two empires are also cultists, which is also one of the reasons why the two empires are at war with each other, but no one has bargained.
"Your Majesty, this matter has to be reported to the authorities, you must know that we have not only discovered the wanted criminals sent down by the oracle, but also fought hard, anyway, it is more miserable, and it is also necessary to say that the Dark Empire is taking advantage of the fire to rob, I think the glory of the Lord God will definitely favor us." As soon as everyone heard the news, their faces changed, you must know that several small towns, at least tens of thousands of people, after this incident, these small towns must be empty, and the most important thing is Hulun City, where is one of several big cities in the western province, which not only stationed a large number of elite soldiers, but also stored a lot of materials, a total of 300,000 people, if Hulun City is broken, it is estimated that everyone here will be destroyed by the divine punishment that descends, Because everyone here knows that the Lord God cares about the lives and deaths of those civilians.
"That's all there is to it, let's go and set it up." The Pope waved his hand and ordered, because it has now reached a critical time, once 300,000 people are killed, the Pope knows his fate, in the history of the Empire of Light, there was a powerful Pope who sacrificed 200,000 people of the Empire in exchange for half of the area of the Dark Empire's provinces, as well as several large cities, if this continues, the Dark Empire may have perished long ago, but what no one knows is that the divine punishment came in an instant, and none of the cardinals were wiped out, and the last oracle to descend was " disregard for the lives of the congregation", and since then, the top of the Holy See know that if a large number of people die in the church, the top of the Holy See will die.
"Hehe, there are really capable people in this dark empire, I thought I was going to make a move?" Ryan held a piece of parchment in his hand, on which was the latest war report of the two empires, and the source was, of course, the Thieves' Guild.
"Yes, the Holy See of Light will definitely summon the Divine Envoy this time." Felix chimed in.
"But this Dark Holy See slaughtered tens of thousands of civilians at once, I don't like it very much, it seems that I need to warn it." But Ryan was upset with the news that the snark phrase of slaughter was on this parchment.
"It is precisely because of the slaughter that the Lord God of Light will send the divine envoy down, otherwise he will definitely not send the divine envoy down." And Niu Niu said.
Ryan was curious about this statement, so he asked, "Could it be that the Lord God of Light is not used to seeing this kind of thing?" ”
"Hehe, it's not that I'm not used to seeing it, but to reach the level of God King or above, and the promotion does not rely on my own energy, but on the power of faith." Niu Niu released a double shield with a wave of her hand, and then explained.
"The power of faith?" Ryan and Felix looked at each other.
"The power of faith, that is, a mysterious power formed by the prayers of these ordinary cultists, the more sincere the cultists, the greater the number of people, then the greater the power of faith, the greater the ability of the main god who is believed, once the power of faith is reduced, it is not impossible for the main god level to fall to the god king level." Niu Niu explained briefly.
"Oh, so if the cultists die en masse, then the Lord God will perceive it?" Felix continued to ask.
"Hehe, it's not that the main god knows, you must know that within the jurisdiction of the Bright God Clan, the main god is very rare, generally only a few, the main god will not directly collect the power of faith, the one who accepts the power of faith is the god king under the main god, and the god king will worship the power of faith he has received to the main god, and a god king is generally only responsible for one plane or several planes, the death of tens of thousands of people, the power of faith does not fluctuate much, but once hundreds of thousands of people die, the god king can perceive that it is inevitable to send down divine punishment, And once the Holy See of this plane is destroyed, then the God King in charge will definitely be punished. Niu Niu explained in detail.
"That's good, let's wait for the arrival of the divine envoy, go to the Holy City of the Bright Empire, and we will entertain the divine envoy well." As soon as Ryan heard this, he knew that an angel would definitely come down this time, and Ryan quickly stood up and said.
