Chapter 696: Old Friends
Every day, the situation on the continent is becoming more and more chaotic, and the undead, demons, and other extraterrestrial races will bring us a series of bad news every day.
The Templar Church is becoming more and more active, and his "tentacles" cardinals have been sent out to try to show their presence on the battlefields of various countries.
I know that this is a promise made by the Lord of Light that the cardinal with the greatest merit will be a candidate for the next pope, and that he will also have eternal life in the kingdom of God. Confusion makes these old guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death take action, but sometimes acting blindly is worse than doing nothing.
In the midst of "history", those guys relied on the reputation of the Templar Church and the universality of the Holy Light faith in this plane, and descended on various war zones with cronies and guards, and then quickly seized command, and then did it at will.
The kind of self-aware minority faction is already thankful for not messing with command, at most, all the merits are snatched up, and you will carry the black pot, but more often than not, they have not attended military academies and read military books, but they think that they are reincarnated in the military, and they will grab command and then make unbelievable decisions, and easily give away the battles they have won.
“…… Leaving the fortified fortress to ambush the undead legion in the wilderness, the defeat of Sythul. ”
“…… He led the strong army of the four knights to break through 1,400 miles, and went in and out of the demonic sphere of influence several times, but there was no backup for the Amur Catastrophe. ”
"Led the Holy Light Messenger to open the gates of the city to intercept the orc legions, and angrily denounced the evil orcs on the spot, and lectured them. Expect the other person to take refuge in the Light. But the Finn tragedy of being directly slaughtered by the other party with his head. ”
This "history" is one by one. It's not the place of defeat, it's the name of the cardinal, the archbishop who did these stupid things, who achieved "eternity" in another way...... They have indeed made a name for themselves.
Of course, the human countries that have paid enough tuition fees have finally torn their faces, and they can't refuse openly, so it's okay to find reasons to prevaricate, and they began to explicitly or covertly reject the intervention of the Templar Church, and in the end, they directly tore their faces and resisted. Failure after failure accumulated, and the prestige of the Templar Church was severely damaged, but the first painful lessons were irreparable.
Now, much better than in "history", the Templar Church is not as single-handedly covering the sky as in the past, even those cardinals know that the times are different, and they will be a little more restrained, probably this kind of "man-made disaster" will be less.
Yes, there will certainly be "man-made disasters", and the bishops who aspire to the throne of "eternity" and "supreme pope" will certainly not be resigned to silence. They will do something, even if it is rejected by some countries. But there will always be areas and kingdoms where the Light faith is strong.
In general, the situation is already much better than "history".
The biggest difference is probably that it has not experienced the counteroffensive of the underground forces, nor has it experienced the brutal human civil war, and the consumption of the elemental war is also within the acceptable range, which can be called a great joy, and the loss of the supreme authority of the Templar Church is the most happy reality.
But there are good and bad, although Cynthia was eliminated, the tragic ending of doomed total destruction was avoided from the beginning, and the reincarnation of the holy war was also broken from another level, and the abyss, which lacks the control of the will of the abyss, may also burst out with the most terrifying power.
Of course, I have done everything I can, things have developed to this point much better than expected, this world does not belong to me personally, I still believe in the tenacity of humans, elves, orcs and other races, and believe that they can survive the catastrophe...... Even if you don't believe me, I can't do anything, this world is too big, and in the face of the war of the whole world, no one can do everything.
Farm monsters on the battlefield during the day, and make up for magic knowledge at night, although the improvement is obvious, but it still can't break through that bottleneck, and what makes me a little happy is that an old acquaintance has come to the door.
"Diana, Victoria, long time no see...... Momo, long time no see. ”
The people who appeared in front of me were none other than the current high-level of the dark elves, Victoria, the supreme priest who held the power of the church, and Diana, who was in military power, were also my old acquaintances.
In a sense, their arrival is a matter of course, as the reconstruction of the elven empire progresses, as the dark elves of the four high-ranking elves, they must make certain expressions and communication, and instead of looking for the busy doppelganger empress, it is better to find the lazy cat on my head and myself.
If you only look at their appearance, the three of them are almost the same as before, after all, seven or eight years is only a short time ago for the dark elves, but the temperament of the three has changed greatly.
Victoria is still amazing, full of bright light, when the past is weak but disappeared without a trace, her face is calm, the pale white sacrificial robe looks simple and simple, but the divine power on it is extremely terrifying, her face is still handsome and quiet, but there is a moving power between her beautiful eyes, as the actual controller of the dark elves, she has more and more feelings of being a master mother.
Diana is much calmer than back then, her long hair is tied into a single ponytail, although there is obvious joy on her face, she is not too excited, it is enough to nod slightly when she sees me, the black armor is the most primitive template, and the pure gold heavy sword behind her is not even enchanted, as the mentor of all anti-paladins, her arrival has made the elemental tides around her naturally fall.
Momo ...... Ahem, let's get down to business, I definitely don't recognize that this dark elf staring at me who is shouting "harvest season", "Renee is good, the mature version is also good" will be a qualified knight, I'm afraid, whether inside or outside, she is the least changed, and the past few years have not left any traces on her body at all.
When acquaintances meet, it is natural to talk about the past and the future, although they were all subordinates in the past, but now I can be regarded as an unofficial and light, and I don't need to be an official and put on a dignified face.
The dark elves don't have any tasks, just to catch up on the old days and prepare for the upcoming Elven Empire.
And from their mouths, I also learned that the current situation of the underground forces is really good, under the control of the four underground overlords, more and more underground residents have successfully moved to the Northland, but what makes people a little helpless is that no matter how much they expected to be able to witness the world of sunlight and the sea before, how certain they are, but in the second year, at least more than seventy percent of the residents applied to return to the underground world.
"The sky is so scary, I feel like I'm going to fall into the sky at any moment."
"This wind is terrifying, at least dozens of other races and the smell of Warcraft, I don't feel safe at all.
"It's cold, it's still warm in the underground world."
There are a lot of strange reasons, and in the end it is good to move three people to settle in one, and with the repeated comings and goings of this migration, it has made the underground people deeply understand the truth, the legendary above-ground world is not as beautiful as imagined, and their own world may not be so bad, and the number of applications for relocation began to decrease dramatically.
Of course, the flip side of the decrease in the number of underground world migrations is that a few underground overlords are really doing a good job.
The underground covenant that no one expected to be followed for a long time back then, with the gradual integration of dark elves, humans, orcs, and dragons, it has also become the cornerstone of a new era, the ore trade has brought enough resources, and the universalization of the Church of the Law has made the society more stable, and it is not a crime to eat and clothe the society, and this boiling place of exile has actually begun to cool.
The complete union of the four overlords, the dragons that constantly patrol the sky, make the careerists restrain their ambitions, and those who dare to challenge the entire new underground order are either self-righteous reckless men or fools who are eager to die.
The more and more peaceful underground world is naturally more suitable for the natives here to live and work in peace and contentment, trade has brought a large number of above-ground goods, but the specialties of the underground world can be sold at a high price, it seems that it is better to stay in the underground world than to relocate, when their lives are obviously getting better and better, people will not consider moving.
And among the four underground races, the underground orcs migrated to the orc plain the most, after all, there are their kindred, the dragon clan due to the small number of them as always, the lack of presence, the dark elves who abandoned the belief of Rose want to live in peace with other races and even mix, although it will take a period of running-in, but at least the two sides will not meet to fight, of course, one of the main reasons is that the dark elf society has gradually abandoned slavery.
And the busiest mess is still the humans of the underground world.
They were originally the largest force in the underground world, and the largest number of dungeons brought a huge population, and unlike other relatively unified races, the human city lords of the dungeon were similar to the lords on the ground, they were only responsible for themselves, and they were used to the life of the divided and divided dungeon, and they could only be regarded as showing respect for the overlords of the past.
It can be said that Anne, the underground overlord of mankind, is the hardest to do, and it takes her a lot of effort to regulate the conflicts between her dungeons and other dungeons.
I frowned, this is indeed difficult to deal with, as the identity of Brimstone Mountain City, it is not easy to suppress the other city lords, the human lords are used to being divided, and engaging in a powerful dictatorship will arouse the opposition of all the lords, if it weren't for Anne's backstage being hard enough, I'm afraid her position would not be stable.
"It seems that we have to find an opportunity to kick that kid down and take some responsibility, he has been hanging around enough outside, and the holiday should be over."
"Roland! We're back! ”
It's really mentioning who came, and Adam actually came back first, and before he could come in, the voice came out.
"Huh. What is this little red bottle? Potions the same color as my hair? I'm thirsty, can I drink it? (To be continued.) )
