After the Church, which represents the general trend and public consciousness, declared war on the void, there are still more than 1,000 people who are willing to live and die with the university and defend this faith with their lives, which is a noble thing, but to the outside world, it seems like a joke.

Ten years of running a school, and in the end, it only attracted more than 1,000 people, does it sound really funny? Many people in the church thought it was a sad, ridiculous, and suspenseless war, because it took them only a few days to raise an army of 50,000 men!

Even if a large part of it is a soldier of the nobles and forces in various places, they are all ready to take advantage of the fire to rob and get a piece of the pie, if they really break through the university, the rich assets and cutting-edge inventions are definitely the target of everyone's scrambling, not to mention, there are still many beautiful girls there, as well as legendary elves... This is all mouth-watering trophies, and many nobles who have gone bankrupt and rushed to reinforce the church with private soldiers have begun to fantasize about the scenes of the top beautiful girls who want to collect crying in their ****.

However, the actual commander of this war, the top of the Church, was far less optimistic than them, so much so that at today's high-level meeting, the Pope did not look very happy, and after experiencing the ecstasy of divine punishment, he gradually calmed down and began to judge the situation and compare the strength of the two sides.

Even if they have the help of angels, but the other party also has high-end combat power, and conventional forces are still very important, not to mention that angels can only go to the lower realm for three days, and they definitely can't wait until they go to the lower realm to start a war, according to the strategic thinking of the church, they will launch an offensive first, and wait until the angels come to make a final decision.

Therefore, the contest of conventional forces between the two sides may still affect the direction of the situation, and in this regard, the situation seen by the church leaders is not as easy as those below think.

"Enright and Link, the two old dogs, are they trying to rebel?" The Grand Inquisitor looked at the latest information and said angrily, "Do they represent the attitude of the royal family?" ”

The two dukes of the north and south did not say anything about this war, they just voted silently with their feet, began to recruit soldiers on a large scale in the territory, and prepared weapons and food and grass everywhere, although the strength was not as exaggerated as the church, but it was also expanding at a visible speed.

What do they want to do? The Church has sent messengers to inquire several times, and the Duke of the South is a little better, and each time he has given the envoy the dignity and decency he deserves, but he never mentions his own purpose, only saying that he is afraid that the war and turmoil will affect his territory, and these people are used for self-defense.

The Duke of the North was too much to say, and the envoy didn't even enter the door.

What this represents, it is self-evident, what is even more hateful is that the Grand Duke Enlight in the north is actually already mobilizing the border guards on the northern front ... It also looks like he's going to take a gamble.

"Enright's thoughts are easy to understand, his only daughter is the youngest associate dean of the university, so naturally he will not sit idly by, and he will not join us; But what's going on with Link? In my impression, he is a person who knows how to make trade-offs and is good at betting on both sides, even if he has some interests with the demons, but for that little thing, he dares to be our enemy? ”

The Grand Knight Commander Yawen, who commanded the paladins and crusaders and was also the supreme commander of this war, smiled disdainfully and said, "This shows that he is not optimistic about us. ”

The Pope, who was really in control, did not rush to participate in the discussion, but asked the Grand Inquisitor, who is in charge of the operation of the intelligence agency: "What about the royal family?" Still not made it clear? ”

"No... Seems unwilling? After all, it was the two forces that had nothing to do with it that were fighting on his land, and the fact that the emperor was not angry showed that he was forbearant enough, but if he wanted him to speak, it was still difficult for some strongmen, but the eunuchs around him made various hints and acquiesced in the war. The Grand Judge replied.

"How's the evacuation and resettlement going over there?" The Pope continued.

"Everything is going well, I can't get on the stage and the royal family and those professional associations have put their energy on this, and it is very efficient, and the city is almost like an empty city now."

"Hmph~ This group of demons still has a minimum of dignity, and they have not taken people hostage." The Pope gave the Void a rare and pertinent assessment, and continued to ask, "What about the professional associations?" Are there any who are in the same stream? ”

"On the surface, there is no, but there is no clear support for us, whether there is still contact behind the scenes will take more time to investigate, at present, I only know the contender for the next president of the Mage Association, Grant went there a few days ago, and the two sides may have reached some deals." The Grand Inquisitor replied.

"It's not to be afraid, on the side of the Mage Guild, there are more people related to us, unless Grant doesn't want to sit on the throne of the president, he won't make such a stupid choice." The archbishop of the diocese of Canning said confidently, it was obvious that he had already met several members of the Mage Guild in private, so he dared to make such a firm judgment.

"All forms are in our favor, the only thing to watch out for is that old dog of Enright, he has a much better army at hand than the miscellaneous ones outside, and may cause us some trouble, do we need to reach some tacit agreement with him? Like not hurting his daughter or something? The new High Priest, who had been temporarily promoted because of the disappearance of the High Priest, asked, he looked much younger than the previous High Priest, and his ambition and revenge were much more advanced, at least when the Elder Priest attended such meetings, he never said a word.

"Besides, I've heard those Northerners are a little restless, too?" The Pope suddenly asked a question that was not easy to answer, because in the whole north, the Church could not effectively penetrate into it, and there was very little information that could be obtained, so they did not know the position of the northern countries very well, and could only listen to the news from the mouths of the merchants who traded between the north and the south.

"A group of barbarians, don't worry, as long as you take care of that group of mages and block the teleportation array, their people won't be able to pass, we have a strong fortress there and..."

"I believe that he should also have a minimum of dignity and morality." The new Grand Priest finally said with a little embarrassment.

"Don't underestimate a father's determination, especially when it comes to protecting his daughter." The Great Knight Captain Yawen said very confidently, "I will be prepared accordingly, but they don't have a teleportation array to go, the army wants to come by land from the North Continent, and they have to cross the North Continent Wasteland, which will take at least three months, not counting the slower supply baggage, by then the war will have long been over, they can at most send a little elite force over, I will let the group of North Continent Yankees understand that in the face of the real battle array, personal strength has no meaning." ”

"That's very good, so now, there are two questions left that are not very clear, one is whether there are too many noble private soldiers on our side? There are even more of them than our own army, and I am worried that this rabble will affect the state of our army. An archbishop spoke.

"The rabble also has the use of the rabble, just let them be cannon fodder, since you want to take advantage of the fire to rob, how can you do it without shedding some blood?" Grand Knight Captain Arwen sneered and said, "As for the second question you want to say... That's what I want to know, too. ”

After that, everyone present focused on the Pope and the new High Priest, because the only suspense left at the moment was when the angel would come.

"Wait, and look forward to it." The Pope replied a little perfunctorily, "The next oracle will come, and it should be time to decide to go to war, and I have a hunch that this day is not too late." ”

The Church is actively preparing for war, and the Voidwalkers are not idle, it has been almost a week since the Church declared war, and their preparations are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The magicians have a list of the forces of both sides, and it is more detailed than the church, because they have the help of the shadows, they promise to provide intelligence services, but assassinations and the like are not to be discussed, they really dare not offend the church to death, after all, it is a commercial service organization, and it is already very good to be able to do this.

Thanks to the efficiency of the shadows, the magician had a clear list of the strength of the Church, and he had a rational discussion with the lord, a practitioner who had studied warfare, and finally came to the conclusion that there was nothing to be afraid of in the rabble.

"If there is no angel on the other side and there is no hope for us, it will be a battle without suspense, especially when I see the toys of the engineer and the craftsman, I really feel that this is not a battle on one level." The lord commented very seriously.

The mage was a little more cautious: "Don't take it lightly, the other side is indeed very numerous, even a rabble, it will make your sword dull, and the stability and continuity of those two toys are not particularly reliable." ”

"Of course, if it's just a pure fight for numbers, our side won't be too far behind, Vidnina's father, this time it's really a fight..."

"It's a matter of course, after all, to protect her daughter... In addition to his side, Link's side also secretly sent some people, who can be regarded as good hands by ordinary people's standards, and they are still useful, as for other people's private soldiers, I have already asked Wentini's side to screen them. The magician continued.
