The sun always sets early in winter, and when the sun is not shining, the night on the continent of Ostia is even darker than in other planes.

The homes of ordinary residents of central Sepion have long since been delighted, and only the magic crystals used for lighting the streets emit a faint glow that saves magic at night.

But tonight's Church of the Magiers is not destined to be peaceful.

Artevans' use of Nit's body to prophesy the demise of the Church of Mages, accustomed to calm, caused a huge stir, and Patheus immediately decided to call all the members of the Church who had been active throughout the Sepion Plains back to Kiddell.

As night fell, all the church members returned to Kiddell, and at the same time, Pasius summoned the three remaining "five elders" to his room.

"John rebelled, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and Nite is dead. Now there are only three of you in the church, what do you think about this?' Pasius repeated the teaser of Artevans to the three elders in front of him and asked for their opinions.

"Neet is known to have the strongest magic resistance in the church, but did it kill him with just ordinary black mist?" As soon as Pasius finished speaking, the only woman sitting across from Pasius spoke. She is one of the new "Five Elders", the "Trace of Light" Sils.

Each generation of the "Five Elders" of the Wizard Church will inherit the name of the previous generation according to their own magical attributes, and the replacement cycle of the "Five Elders" is shorter than that of the Church President.

"We are not facing humans, judging from the pure dark power, the other party should be a demon, and it is a very powerful demon. But what's even more terrifying is that I can't feel the magic from that black mist, and my level can't feel the breath of that magic. And I'm not sure if the real cause of Neet's death was the black mist."

Pasius's face was a little ugly, and he held his forehead, recalling the scene. At the same time, he thought of what happened a few months ago, when Artevans had come to the Wizards' Church as an adventurer.

To Pasius's surprise, after just a few months of not seeing each other, Artevans was already so powerful that it was beyond his knowledge. According to Pacius's memory, the strength of the magic in the body of Atvance that he discovered a few months ago was only comparable to his own.

"Will that demon really keep its promise and attack in ten days?" Another elder offered his opinion. "Fire Shield" Irta inherited the name of "Fire Shield" shortly after the death of the previous generation of "Fire Shield" Rogge, and was the first person to become a new batch of "Five Elders".

"Ilta you overestimate the quality of the demons, the alien race has always been an obstacle to the development of humanity, and they are full of malice towards humans. Lord, I think we have to decide what to do right away.'" Sitting next to Ilta is Persia, the "glow of the water".

"It's hard to conclude what the quality of the demons is, after all, there are countless cruel things that humans have done to their fellow citizens. However, I share Ilta concerns. President, we really need to decide what to do as soon as possible.' Compared to Persia, who was extremely distrustful of foreign races, Syrs seemed more calm and calm.

The three elders then exchanged words with each other, but in exchange for Pasius's silence.

"President, you must be afraid?" Ilta said tentatively.

Ilta's words made the body of Pasius in contemplation tremble, and he immediately raised his head and looked at the three elders in front of him.

"I'd like to hear your conclusions." There was silence again for a moment before Pasius spoke slowly. Judging from the erratic eyes, he didn't listen to the three elders at all.

"Although the strength of the enemy this time may be unimaginable, I believe in the strength of humanity and the potential of humanity, and as long as we are well prepared, I feel that we can fight." Syrs looked at the other two elders, and Iltha and Persia nodded to themselves in agreement.

Then she continued, "And there's no way back for us. If even the Church of the Mages, which is a symbol of the strength of the Sepion Plains, falls, then all the humans in Sepion will be controlled by that demon. At that time, the human race will face a great crisis.'"

Sils's words undoubtedly spoke to Pasius's heart, and he didn't think so, but the reason why he hesitated was because he was worried about the internal situation of the Wizard Church at this time.

John's defection took with him many of the elites, and he is now missing along with them. Moreover, Patheus knew about the magic recorded in the magic book that John had taken away, and he was afraid that John would hide in the shadows and secretly cultivate a team of "bloodthirsty". When the time comes, the Church of the Magi may face a double crisis.

This, coupled with the fact that Nite's death has also brought some unease to the church.

"Let me think about it for one night, and I'll make a decision early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, please gather all the members in the northern clearing, and I will say what I think.'" After thinking for a long time, Pasius sighed and said.

"In that case, we'll quit first." Syrs also seemed to see Pacius's difficulties, and was the first to stand up and say goodbye to Pacius.

Ilta and Persia looked at each other with some confusion on their faces, not only wondering why Pasius was hesitant, but also wondering why Syrse didn't ask Pasius to make a decision at this time. But since Syrs was also leaving, they couldn't say anything, and they also stood up and said goodbye to Pacius.

The three elders soon disappeared into the president's room, leaving Pasius alone.

"The power of the church alone is not enough......" Patheus sighed helplessly.

"Are you worried that it might not just be the demon named Artevans attacking the church, but more likely an army of demons invading the church?" The window of Pacius's room was not closed, and a gust of wind blew in through the window, and then a woman appeared.

The previous generation of "Wind Shadow" Luo?, who has left the church, still has an extremely close connection with Pacius, and at the same time, she also plays a role in the connection between the "five elders" of the previous generation and the church.

"The girl with special eyes that Nite met in that village, I suspect she is in league with Artefans." Pasius thought about what happened to Nit and came to this conclusion.

"I've heard that if that's the case, I'm afraid the enemy we're going to face will be terrible." Gauze? If something happens to the church, then the situation of the people in the whole central Sepion, and even the entire Sepion plain, will become dangerous.

Gauze? still has a certain understanding of the strength of Atvance, but that is Atvance whose strength has not fully awakened a few months ago. And at that time, Luo? I have already felt the fear of suffocation from Artfans, so now I have to face the fully formed Artfans, and this may even be a battle that has been decided before it has even begun. But despite this......

"President, I think you need to be firm in your heart. What they said makes sense, if even the Church of Magicians chooses to obey, then the whole of Sepion will have completely lost hope." Although the opponent to face is very strong, but Luo? and did not choose to surrender.

Pasius looked up and saw Ro? With the firmness in his eyes, he felt that he had lost face in front of his former subordinates.

"I have an idea right now, and I hope you can help me." After cheering up, Pasius also had a plan in mind, a difficult one, but it may be the only countermeasure.

"Tell me, I'll do my best." Gauze? He straightened up, as if he had been a member of the Church, and waited for Pasius' command.

"Nite is in danger in the west, which means that the west is likely to be occupied by demons now, and we must not enter the woods in the west." Pasius analyzed seriously, "So, I hope that you can go to the east as the elder of the former Wizard Church and try to win over the strong as much as possible."

"Do you want to gather the power of the humans in the central and eastern parts to fight the demons to the death?" Gauze? There was some surprise on her face, but there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Indeed, relying solely on the power of the Church of Wizards is far from enough. Although Artevans only said that he wanted the Church of Mages to be his puppet, Pasius knew very well that it was the fate of the entire human race in the Sepion Plains. Once the Church of the Magi falls, it will be a catastrophe for the entire human race in Sepion.

The only way is to gather the power of all the strong people in Sepion for the sake of Sepion's future, although the price paid may be painful, but this is the only way.

"Please!" Patheus handed his amulet to Roches and bowed solemnly.

Gauze? He took the amulet and clenched it tightly in his hand, "I will not live up to your expectations!"

————————————

The next morning.

In Luo? Before deciding to leave, Pashoster wanted her to go with him to the clearing north of Kiddell City and make an appearance in front of the members of the Church.

Early in the morning, under the direction of the three elders, all the members of the church gathered in the northern clearing, waiting for Pasius to appear.

In Pasius & Rowe? The moment they appeared together, the scene was a little noisy. The members of the church wondered why the departing Rowe? It will appear here, and there will be a lot of discussion.

"Everyone!" As soon as Pasius spoke, the scene immediately fell silent.

"The aliens have challenged us and arrogantly given us ten days, and since they despise our strength, we will make them pay for their arrogance!"

"If we retreat at this time, the Church of the Mages will fall, and humanity will face a catastrophe. It's not just a question of the survival of the church, it's a question of the survival of humanity. So we have no choice and no way back, we can only fight against the aliens.'"

"Although we don't know how strong the enemy is, as long as we believe in our strength and believe that the unity of humanity can happen miracles, then we will definitely have a chance to defeat the alien race, protect the Church of the Magi, and protect the homeland that belongs to us."

"I have made a decision, since the alien race wants to provoke a war, then we will take this war, and we want the alien race to know that human beings can stand in this world and continue to survive and reproduce by relying on the strength of our human beings! Will I let the former elder Luo? Go to the east and gather the power of all the strong in the east. I believe that the team that gathers the strong men of the entire Sepion Plain will be able to fight against the aliens!'

Every sentence is so powerful.

As soon as Pacius's voice fell, the scene fell silent for several seconds. But then, the people present immediately erupted in shouts full of fighting spirit. They believe that if humanity is united, it will be invincible.
