Chapter 46: Smooth (Second Shift Monthly Pass)

Taking over the "Night Shuttle" scroll, Lucien wanted to keep smiling, but found that he couldn't laugh: "Teacher, the situation will not be worse to this extent, even if Salde betrays his trust, the Pope appears, and desperately explodes the Divine Descent Technique, at most he can directly kill a legendary peak, and they also have to guard against the Northern Church and the Dark Council, it is not bad to be able to draw out seventeen or eighteen legends, and the lords of the Council will not be less than them." โ€

"If the situation takes a turn for the worse, you have to count the five Holy Spirit priests such as Salde, the Kingdom of Holm, the Kingdom of Camelot, the Kingdom of Briana, the Duchy of Calais, and the seven epic knights of the Northland Coastal Corridor, which are nearly thirty legends, plus the Pope of the god-like realm, it is difficult to estimate how many legendary magicians who can escape head-on. "Fernando prefers to be prepared for the worst at the start.

Then he looked at Lucien with bright red eyes and a smile: "Don't think of the Pope as too weak, he doesn't have a god descending technique, he is also one of the gods, except for Douglas, Dracula, and Brooke, who have been at the peak of the legend for many years, and can fight him head-on for a while, other legendary powerhouses may not be able to receive a blow from him." โ€

Speaking of this, Fernando, who was either obscene and immodest or serious and irritable, sighed rarely: "And the power of the Divine Descent Technique is too terrifying, and the strong man who locks the peak of the legend is a second kill, whether you are alone or several people together." In order for Douglas to reach a similar level, he would have to at least be promoted to a god-like level, so the Council took the risk of working with Salder before the Pope's descent was restored. โ€

"Otherwise, ten years from now, who will consume the Divine Descent? I think it won't matter me or Hathaway when the time comes. Or did Douglas and Brooke not sacrifice themselves to fulfill everyone's noble character, and if they joined forces, they would die together. Also, most importantly, for the seven Epic Knights, the Pope with or without Divine Descent strongly influenced their final decision. โ€

"Once they have completely fallen to us, it will be the Pope's turn to weigh the pros and cons, after all, the maximum amount of force that the Southern Church can draw is only equal to ours, and it no longer has an overwhelming advantage, and it must be considered to overdraft the use of the Descent. The rest of the Holy Spirit priests and holy knights fell to a disastrous end. That would be a great benefit to the Council of Darkness and the Northern Church. โ€

Lucien nodded, understanding the council's strategy, which was to use this plan to create a favorable situation and turn the seven epic knights against him. Then. Even if the real trend has already been achieved. Even if the Pope recovers the Divine Descent, he will have to face a situation in which both sides may lose in a full-scale war and be benefited by others.

"Natasha there. We have already planned some things, and with the stimulation of Salde, we should be quite sure that the nobles will completely fall to us, and the tendencies of the nobles as a whole will definitely affect the decision of the epic knights, teacher, it is better to ...... like this" Lucien made a small suggestion, which was also prepared early in the morning.

Fernando bowed his head lightly with a solemn face: "No matter what the effect is, just increase the weight." Five of the seven epic knights have been secretly co-opted by us, and even if they choose to wait and see before the situation is favorable, they should not refuse to listen, and I will communicate with them. โ€

The two deduced what Salde would do for different purposes, the arrangements, and the corresponding countermeasures.

"If this is the case with Salde's purpose, I will inform you as soon as possible, hey, I hope your response can have a good effect, and you are near the Nexus Palace, try to assist Natasha in mastering the control of the Nexer Palace's divine defense array over the entire city, this is a key step to prevent changes, and Maurice and other magician members of the Holm royal family will cooperate with you. The Storm Lord commanded, arranging for Lucien to go there, not only to facilitate his escape, but also because of his special relationship with Natasha, which allowed Natasha to cooperate with peace of mind.

Although the overall divine defense array of Lentat City is not as good as the Radiant Cathedral and the Nexer Palace, it is also stronger than Alto, after opening, the controller can gain a considerable advantage, and its control is divided into two relatively independent parts, one in the Radiant Cathedral and the other in the Nexer Palace, the former only needs to wait for Salde to withdraw from the church, and the council can take over the control, and the latter depends on Natasha.

Lucien didn't say anything, nodded solemnly in agreement, and then asked with a little curiosity: "Teacher, why don't we find other forces to work together." โ€

"This kind of plan must be kept strictly secret, if we cooperate with the Northern Church and the Dark Council, it is very likely that the news will leak in advance and be detected by the Church, and they will not have many choices, either wait for us to lose and lose the winner-take-all, or take the opportunity to attack the empty interior of the Church, it is impossible to rush into the battlefield, we have to seize this time difference, and use the general trend to force the Church not to dare to start a full-scale war. Fernando explained slightly, "As for the other allies, those who are willing to come will definitely come when they find the change, and those who are not willing to come will not come to seek cooperation in advance." โ€

This matter, even within the Magic Council, only the members of the Supreme Council and a few magicians with high authority such as Lucien know the details, and the knowledge of such a thing is limited to the few members of the committee, the vast majority of arcanists and magic apprentices do not know that the big changes are coming, and Natasha on the other side has not told anyone except herself, only leading the nobles to increase the estrangement of the church and the expectation of finding a new balance.

............

The fourteenth day of the month of fire, noon.

On the thirty-fifth floor of the Alinge Magic Tower, a voice kept ringing out:

"Confirm that Pope Benedict II preached today in the holy city of Reims and did not leave. โ€

"It is confirmed that Saints Melmos, Anasta, Maria and others were in the vicinity of the Pope and did not leave. โ€

"It is confirmed that St. Odin the leader of the ascetics has not left the new dimension. โ€

"It is confirmed that the leader of the ascetics, Valenhill, entered the confessional of Reims in the holy city to pray and did not leave. โ€

"It is confirmed that the Inquisitor, Bahรก'u'llรกh, was at the headquarters of the Inquisition and did not leave. โ€

"Confirm that the Radiance of God Beria is in the Northern Fortress and has not left. โ€

......

Confirmed information came one after another, allowing the Supreme Council and the magicians such as Lucien, who participated in the operation, to control the situation.

"It is impossible to confirm the whereabouts of the Inquisition giants, St. Anthony the Night's Watchman, Brentes the Agent, and the 'Flame of Origin', the number one Night's Watchman. โ€

"Unable to confirm ......"

This kind of information is not only about the Southern Church, but also about the Northern Church and the many powerhouses of the Dark Mountains, and the personnel who have been installed by the Magic Council for many years all came in handy at this moment.

After synthesizing the information and confirming the situation, Douglas got up from his seat, walked to the front of the conference room of the Supreme Council, and solemnly announced:

"The action begins, so be careful of your own safety. โ€

"The mystery is above!" Lucien and the others saluted with their right hands on their foreheads.

.........

Capital of the Duchy of Calais, Coux.

Erica, the short-haired "Master of Transfiguration", walks out of the black magic tower that looks like a planetary platform, with a strong sense of historical vicissitudes, she is one of the few ancient inheritance magicians in the Supreme Council, and sometimes a self-proclaimed historian.

She counted the time and walked slowly towards the Cooks Cathedral with several archmages and high-ranking magicians, when two dragon-scale horses galloped by her side, deliberately calling out in a loud voice: "Your Excellency Yourcenar has requested an emergency meeting of nobles. โ€

Yousenar is the epic knight of the Duchy of Calais, "Song of Dusk".

Erica understands that this is part of a plan, and that Yourcenar won't make any more moves until the situation changes completely.

A few minutes later, Erica and the others, who looked slow, actually arrived outside the Coux Cathedral on the other side of the city, where a middle-aged clergyman wearing a white floppy hat was watching her serenely.

"Terrance, are you ready for the handover?" asked Erica the Cardinal of Calais, the Angel of Wisdom.

Terrance replied with a smile, "The cardinals have all been sent by me to inspect the counties, there are only a few bishops and priests in them, and the magic array is closed. โ€

Erica didn't rush in, but motioned to a summoning archmage next to her with her eyes, asking him to summon two high-level demons to enter and control the core of the magic array and the teleportation array respectively.

When there was no problem, several archmages and magicians entered one after another, taking control of different areas, while Erica confronted Terrance in the square, waiting for Rentat's progress.

............

The capital of the Kingdom of Briana, Salivar.

Brooke, a half-aged gentleman in a white haircoat and a long black double-breasted gown, with his left hand in his pocket and a short black cane in his right hand, ascended the stairs outside Burlistan Cathedral with the petite silver-haired lady Chelsea Holt, and walked straight inside, without any other fancy.

He was confident enough that even if the Divine Array was fully activated, he would be able to kill the "Light of the Heavenly Realm" Bifurer inside.

As he was about to enter the church gate, he looked back at the palace where King Briana was and whispered, "I hope Bedlenka and Basol don't make irrational decisions." โ€

Bedlenka the Hammer of the Void and Basol the Knight of Calamity are epic knights of the Kingdom of Briana.

"They'll wait until the situation is almost clear. Holt, the Silvermoon Scholar who has been here for a long time, smiled.

Brooke nodded, didn't say anything more, walked slowly into the church, walked to the third row of seats in front of the cross, sat down, and then bowed his head in contemplation, waiting for the time to come, like the most devout believer, while the cardinal preaching above was completely unaware that the eighth terrifying demon of the Night's Watch was in front of him.

............

Herculi in the Northland Coastal Corridor and Vicente in the Kingdom of Camelot were in a similar situation to Erica, and they took over the cathedral and took control of the waypoint, and the epic knights of these countries and regions demanded an emergency meeting of nobles like Yusenar.

Rentat, outside the Radiant Cathedral.

Fernando, who temporarily added the "Absolute Defense" Aturman, a legendary magician, waited for Salde to come out with more than a dozen archmages and high-level magicians.

Without making them wait long, the ordinary old man Salde left the Glorious Cathedral with ease and integrity. (To be continued......)
