Chapter 34: A Slim Hope

"Actually, if the Bilunar Church is the ultimate winner, it won't be bad." Lying on the bed in his new home, Bowit Hazefinger thought. "At least we won't be as embarrassed as we are now."

It's just a pity that all this is very different from what he thinks, and the Church of the Two Moons is neither the victor nor the same as him. The vast fleet of Eltasi's expeditionary fleet and hundreds of thousands of troops returned with only a lone boat and a small army - most of which were the second batch of reinforcements to Elta. If it is said that it is a Western Expeditionary Army unit that has withdrawn from the formation, it can only be said that it is a small elite war group led by Ouffer Mondridge's wife.

The first person in power in the Western Expeditionary Army, Eufe Mondrich of the Heresy Inquisition, is nowhere to be found. The fate of many of the staff and generals is unknown, and the other hidden lines of the Inquisition have suffered great losses - only the clear part of the losses. Most of the remaining missing parts were captured or killed in action.

All of the air ships sent were sunk, and one of those who witnessed it was not even known for his fate or death. The reason why I use "even" is very simple - it is the highest point in the Church of the Two Moons, the living god Yucrosatia.

The news of the fiasco was not conveyed from the ruined wooden ship on one side. Through the mouth of the remnants of the army and the information chain of the small people in the market, the fragments of the war on the continent of Elta began to gather and ferment.

At this time, on the temple of the main island of Lankas, the eight living gods sitting separately were listening carefully to the fermented facts.

"It took less than a month from the beginning of the Elta counteroffensive from the west with the support of the Otherworldly people to the rout of the whole army and retreat to the front line of Garcia, the capital of Elta."

"The aviation weapons of the Otherworldly people can always annihilate all the dragoons that we rely on to cover the deployment of ground troops, and then wantonly slaughter our ground forces. After the formation was defeated, our combat strength was already gone. ”

Half a year ago, Lavlenki, who was full of momentum and encouraged the Otherworlders to march in, now knelt in front of the eight thrones, pale as he read the information he had commissioned the lower agents to gather from all over the islands.

His voice couldn't help but leak panic from his soul, and it was precisely because of his positive actions that several sect bosses unanimously decided to send troops to divide the cake of Orf Mondridge's otherworldly cargo franchise. However, it was precisely this decision that almost bypassed the gods of the world that caused Lord Yucrochatia to disguise herself in the "reinforcements" and fall along with the empty ships.

Although the subsequent westward expansion was a decision made by Ukrosatia herself, without one of them, Lavlenki may not escape the sanction in the end...... Now he has to continue to pretend to be obedient and survive.

"The Otherworldly people are oppressing the living space of our army in the front, and they are also inciting the restless Elta people in the rear to be our enemy." This should be the oral statement left by the soldiers of the Southern Route Army after they fled back to China, "So we lost our armor and fled to the rear to prepare for repair, and we didn't get any rest at all, so we broke all the way to the ship back home." ”

"Don't read it, you go down first." It was a man's voice that spoke. Lavlenky did not dare to look up, but he knew probably who. This time, even the rare one stood at the front desk to understand the situation, which shows the importance of the gods in the world.

"Yes." Raph didn't even lift his head, trembling his back and slowly exiting the beaded curtain. In the past, some of the gods of the present world didn't like this set of red tape, so they didn't necessarily do it, but today it's very different.

"So, what does it mean now is that we have completely lost control of the Elta Empire?" After the swaying of the bead curtain stopped, the first person to speak was naturally the first, the first-world god who had just spoken-Kellnoral.

"Basically, yes." Under the influence of magic, the pure white stone throne began to retreat along the tracks, and one of the goddesses yawned heavily. "It's even more than what the Red Dragon Country has done. The children of the Red Dragon Country can't and don't dare to stretch their hands out to our sea, but this time, the people of the other world sank all the empty ships that those little bastards mobilized without permission, which is really shameless. Also, the elves seem to have clearly sided with the otherworldly? Oops, what a hassle~"

"So it's all redundant, the question is, how?" The young god of the world could no longer hold back the anger of trampling Lavlenki to death on the spot, and began to question the other gods present - after the main supply line of Ofer Mondridge was broken, the shipment of otherworldly goods from the major ports of Elta was almost cut off, and now the only people who could transport otherworldly goods were high-priced and small-scale smugglers, and the varieties were not as comfortable as those selected by Ofer Mondrich - basically what was nothing.

Not long after the time when Lavlenky, Imibizero, and other bigwigs decided to "reinforce" the Western Expeditionary Army, the otherworldly goods were inexplicably interrupted; The elves are inexplicably resident in Mendong City; There were even rumors that the "ultimatum" of reinforcements also led to infighting among Garcia's defenders. So no matter what the actual situation is, Neuesas, who still looks like a teenager, naturally combines these coincidental causes and effects.

"How......" Kyle Norral was also at a loss. It is also not known what happened to Ukro ChΓ’teadia. If only she had been on a killing spree in Elta's land...... I'd like to give it a try, too. ”

"The question now is not what to do with the Elta Empire, but what to do with us!" Compared with the previous god costume, she changed into a women's suit, and she looked like a girl with a flowing temperament, and the god of the world used a curved cane stretched out from his sleeve to aim at Kyle Noral's head. "Now that our territory is like this, how do you still think about how to fight? You weren't good enough two hundred years ago? ”

Almost instantly, cries could be heard on all the islands of the Church of the Two Moons, and the lack of staff in each ministry was even more obvious, and it was not uncommon for the entire class and the teachers to be wiped out along with the teachers in some of the magic schools that were "happily enlisted".

"So, now Neuesas is right." Hermarita, who was as tall as Neuesas, took out the otherworldly cowhide book hidden in the collar of her suit, "Lavlenky is very underwhelmed. But he at least told a few truths so that we can understand the situation below. So, I'd like to make a couple of suggestions, and you'll vote on them here. If you agree, immediately announce the oracle below. ”

Truth be told, the average IQ of these twelve living gods ...... It's not high, indeed. Among them, there are many idiots who have excellent force values and IQs close to Aqua. It may be a bit too much to say Akuya, but it is true that there are a few people who are not even at the level of Akaya when it comes to domestic and foreign affairs. As for "excessive", of course, it would be very unfair to the mentally retarded goddess Akeya.

However, compared to the existence of idiots, the existence of geniuses is also necessary, for example, the Hermarita in front of him is one. So her speech is often considered otherworldly by idiots, such as the first sentence she uttered when she opened the book-

"First of all, I think the most important thing is to grant amnesty to all the people of the Western Expeditionary Army. Whether it is desertion or any other crime, all those who have served before the enlistment will be reinstated, and our most important task now is to restore order to the islands-"

"Never!" As soon as the first half of Kyl Norral's words came out, he was hit the head with a cane, but he still insisted on finishing the second half of the sentence, "Desertion is the most despicable behavior of a soldier!" Forgive nothing, can't forgive deserters! Hemarita, you don't-"

This time, Hermarita did not control the cane to continue to hit the cane man's head, but directly let it stretch out and gag the cane man's mouth. Then he began to explain the reason for doing so: "Yes, it's shameful that they fled back." But before they were soldiers and magicians of the Western Expeditionary Army, they were the people we controlled and obeyed. Now that 300,000, nay, close to 400,000 dead and unaccounted for are in front of them, who can bear to punish these poor people who have fled? ”

Kyle Noral's hands are usually so powerful that he can't get rid of the cane that stuffs his mouth tightly. No matter how much he shook it, he couldn't make any sound.

"Well, then, let's vote." Hermarita, still holding her cane in one hand, gave Kyl Norral a mocking look. Kyle Norral is superior in force, but in the eyes of Hermarita, he is really only worthy of being a pure military general.

Not surprisingly, seven hands, including herself, were raised steadily.

"So, Kyle Noral, it's useless if you have an opinion. Seven to one. "On the throne that was re-enclosed in a circle, a living god who looked much more dignified than Kellnoral, wearing a hood covering his face, stretched out his hands helplessly. Hemarita, let him sit back. ”

"Since Uncle said so, then I have to do it." Hermarita blew the notebook through the pages with her mouth as she removed the spell from her cane. The embarrassed Kyle Norral did not have a seizure and quietly returned to his place.

"Secondly, I personally don't have hope for the safety of Sister Ukroschatia. The body of the people from the other world is unknown, the strength is unknown, and the origin is unknown. At this point, we can hold the Forbidden Spell Research Society accountable for opening the door, but it's more important to start normal contact with them. Of course, it's not impossible to tacitly assume that they have possession of the Elta continent. Kyle Noral, don't stare at me! If you have the ability, you will drive the people from the other world away! Can you? ”

"Hemarita, keep talking."

"Well, I personally think they might have something to do with the true God. Maybe the true God has changed his mind about the world? Think about it, how long has it been since we have found the relics left to us by the true God. Five hundred years? A thousand years? What about the instructions of the true God? A thousand years? I can't even remember when the last time it was! ”
