Chapter 261: A Thousand Clues
All nodded, they completely agreed with Pope Peter.
"I don't need to say anything more, do I? Hibernation is the best option for our Church of Light right now. Come to think of it, in five to ten years, it is unlikely that the Southwest Continent will take the initiative to attack our sect. (After occupying and stabilizing the situation, select and train your own backbone, at least five years, and at most ten years.) Therefore, Pope Peter has said so. )”
Pope Peter is worthy of a generation, and everyone is impressed. Of course, even if what he said is unreasonable, as long as he insists on going his own way, no one else can disobey him. Through tireless ideological work, Pope Peter finally determined the general policy of the Bright Church for the next five to ten years. Because, "working together is much stronger than a plate of loose sand", he still understands.
Merstal and Camille showed an astonishing talent for military affairs, leaving Driftless overjoyed. He knew in his heart that whether he could achieve his goal of saving the world depended to a large extent on whether he could integrate a leadership team with various talents who were like-minded with him. Piao Wuxian felt that the two military geniuses in front of him were tailor-made for such a leadership team. As long as the affairs related to the army are big and small, they have been handed over to these two with full authority.
A military genius is a military genius, and the efficiency of handling affairs is not ordinarily high! In less than a day's effort, all the aftermath work was dealt with. Then, the two made a suggestion to pursue while they were victorious. Drifting without a trace, of course, is fully supported. In less than a day, all the preparations were ready. Drifting without a trace, I am afraid that among the remnants of the Bright Church in the Southwest Continent, there are still a large number of cultivation masters left, so in addition to inviting a few great lords to guard the Golden Island, all the top masters of the Sea Clan have been mobilized (with the help of the Demon Emperor's order, of course) to come out.
This time, the rapid counterattack was divided into five ways, and each way was assisted by a master above the Sea King level. Although the "Navy SEALs" were limited in number, in the face of the remnants of the Church of Light, which had been scattered, they still swept away the leaves with the autumn wind, and with almost no effective resistance, they defeated the Church of Light in the southwest continent in one fell swoop.
The Church of Light has always been powerful and powerful in the southwest continent, and it has a lot of grievances, so under the strong assault of the "Navy SEALs", many forces and lone cultivators who saw that the Church of Light was gone, also took the opportunity to take action, which greatly made up for the shortcomings of the "Navy SEALs". The members of the Church of Light, who were once hot and prosperous, are now street rats, and everyone shouts and beats them. Those who have been wronged will be avenged, and those who have revenge will be avenged. An unprecedented storm of blood and rain has been set off in the entire southwestern continent. It cannot be ruled out that there are wronged among them, but the vast majority of the members of the Church of Light are innocent, because they are all villains who have used the power of the Church of Light to make a big deal of power, and their crimes are too numerous to mention. There was a seriously injured fish that slipped through the net, and after killing several civilians, he was beaten to death by ordinary people who had not cultivated with labor tools that did not have much lethality. From this, it is not difficult to see how deep the resentment of the people in the southwest continent is towards the Church of Light.
This counteroffensive went smoothly without any suspense. However, it was precisely because of the unimaginable speed of the march that the "Navy SEALs", who were busy taking over in full force, did not search carefully, and eventually led to the high-ranking members of the Church of Light in the central region having ample time to destroy the spatial gate connecting the two places after receiving the Pope's order to stay still and recuperate. When everything settled down, the "Navy SEALs" saw an abandoned space door, much to the chagrin of the experts such as Piaowu. Because if it is discovered in time, with the abundant magic core, Drift Without a trace can completely lead a group of strong people of the Sea Clan through the space gate to carry out a beautiful raid with lightning speed. In terms of their formation, as long as they don't encounter a supreme-level master like Pope Peter, they can definitely return calmly after inflicting heavy damage on their opponents. It's just a pity that the opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will never come again.
As the saying goes: It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to defend the country. After a military operation that is beyond imagination, it is a matter of taking over the work in an all-round way. Although the Church of Light is dominant in the entire Southwest Continent, this is largely the rule of the spiritual level. Therefore, there is not a complete Church of Light city in the southwestern continent. Even the royal capital of Macedonia, the heart of the Church of Light rule on the southwestern continent, is a coexistence of religious and secular forces.
While the oppressed powers, large and small, and the common people, showed great zeal throughout the war, the official, as a secular ruler, remained neutral. The attitudes of the various dynasties are extremely ambiguous, and they do not express clear opposition to the sudden rise of the "Navy SEALs", but they try to keep enough distance from this emerging force, and do not reveal the slightest intention of cooperation.
It is understandable that the secular rulers have behaved strangely. Because secular rulers have always maintained a very special relationship with the Church of Light. Religion plays a role in paralyzing the spirit, which has had an immeasurable positive effect on the stability and continuation of the rule of secular rulers. From this point of view, even if the Church of Light does not have the strength of the superpowers, these secular rulers will not hesitate to choose to cooperate with them. However, the SEALs do not have the special function of spiritual domination, so the secular rulers did not send a positive signal to the SEALs in time to ask for cooperation when they saw that the demise of the Church of Light was a foregone conclusion.
In fact, the secular rulers remain silent, and there is another concern. Although the Church of Light is not in the southwestern continent, it is still strong in other regions. Who knows when the Church of Light will make a big reversal and re-establish the hegemony of the Southwest Continent. At that time, if they fall with the wind, then what kind of face will they have to cooperate with others again? Moreover, they are also afraid, afraid that the Church of Light, which has returned strongly, will use its strong strength and spiritual influence to make a makeover and pull them down from the top of the ruling hierarchy, then they will really want to cry without tears. But they also did not dare to speak out against the "Navy SEALs". How could they compete with the terrifying strength that could uproot the power of the Church of Light in the entire Southwest Continent?
