Seven abyssal rifts in the Lionheart Empire launched riots on the same day, six of them were suppressed, only this abyssal rift in Riga suddenly gushed out an army of more than 100,000 monsters, breaking through the defense line of the local garrison, and all 63,216 people of the first army were killed, and even the messenger could not escape.

After the hundreds of thousands of monsters were eliminated from the first legion, they immediately scattered and ran in different directions.

As a result, they lost the ability to fight in groups, and could no longer capture the large towns with thick walls, but they were no longer at risk of being wiped out, and the small towns and scattered villages were not so lucky, and in one night, several towns near Gary were all fatally struck.

Those monsters changed their fierce and fearless combat style, and gave full play to their mobility, and immediately fled at the sight of large-scale human reinforcements, with the purpose of killing and destroying, rivers of blood flowed everywhere they passed, spreading panic everywhere, so soon a new wave of migration was set off within the Lionheart Empire.

Nearby residents got the news and packed their bags and either fled for their lives to large towns or went to distant places to join relatives, and along the way you often saw entire villages and villages of people who had taken refuge, and Pushkin sent a large number of troops along the way to ensure the safety of the refugees, but the prime minister himself became worse and worse.

Pushkin rushed over through the teleportation array at noon the next day after the incident, and his eyes were full of large and abandoned fields, and Pushkin was heartbroken when he saw it, because the epidemic food problem has become more and more serious, and this time with the large-scale population migration, the food problem will inevitably become more and more acute.

Adventurer guilds everywhere have issued unlimited missions to hunt abyss monsters, all adventurers can be taken by both new and old, and different amounts of bonuses can be exchanged according to the strength of the monsters hunted, but there are few responders.

After all, no matter how generous the prize money is, it has to be earned with a life, and the strength of the abyss monsters has long been obvious to all, even some guys who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky have dispelled the luck in their hearts after seeing what happened to the nearby towns and villages, and no one knows which monsters will flow to where, and how many there are. Once you encounter a crowd, no matter how good your skills are, there is only one dead word left, so you can only count on the army to complete the clean-up work.

But the army is also a headache, dealing with small groups of targets, the large army is too bloated, there are few people and it is easy to be broken one by one, and the floating batteries that used to be powerful are now useless, and the expensive operation and maintenance costs make it impossible to use it against a single target.

Although D'Artagion is still missing, the Wizards' Association has issued a Level 1 General Mobilization Order under the impetus of Lilith, which not only requires magicians everywhere to enter a state of combat readiness, but even the colleges have been notified to prepare the teachers and students of the colleges, and when the situation deteriorates to a certain extent, it is not ruled out that they will also go to the battlefield.

This is the first time since the First Magic War that the Magicians Association has mobilized all magicians for war, and it also means that after more than 900 years, humanity has once again reached a critical point of life and death.

And at this juncture, no one expected that the Holy Alliance would once again have an astonishing change.

Although the large-scale eruption was the day before the abyssal rift changed, the cause of the incident can actually be traced back to half a month ago.

A first-order paladin named Hooper had been assigned to a remote village since he was fifteen years old to become the sheriff of the village, and he and his subordinate, a knight named Matthew, had been in the village for twenty years, and I am afraid that even the people who had sent him here had forgotten their existence.

But Hooper did not complain, he was a devout believer, and he had a strong belief that everything he had experienced was a test given to him by the gods, and because the location of the small village was so remote, he did not even hear the news that Lehart VII had led an army against the Holy Alliance.

Hooper still lived the same life every day, getting up early to practice martial arts, riding a donkey along the edge of the village after breakfast, returning at noon to see if there was anything to adjust in the village, and studying the sacred scriptures in his room in the afternoon, but this morning, when he woke up, he found that the divine power in his body had disappeared.

This incident shocked him, he knew very well what it meant to lose his divine power, from ancient times to the present, only those who betrayed the temple and chose to fall into the clergy would be withdrawn from their divine power.

As a devout believer, Hooper's first reaction was panic, and he spent a morning reviewing everything he had done in the past month, but he never found out what the problem was, which made him more and more alarmed.

Matthew didn't see Hooper during the morning exercise, so he went to the latter's room and saw the man who was usually sunny as if he could knock him down without any difficulty, holding his head and hitting the wall in pain.

Matthew was shocked, hurriedly walked up, stopped Hooper, and after asking the reason, he was also scared half to death, both of them were born in the church, and naturally knew how strict the temple's attitude towards the fallen clergy was, but Matthew was not as religious as Hooper, and the first thing he thought about after the incident was how to save the lives of the two, so he strongly opposed Hooper's move to go to the town and turn himself in.

With the current situation of the two, as long as they don't say it, it is actually difficult for anyone to find out Hooper's secret, but Hooper can't get past his own level, and he still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that all this is just a misunderstanding, he can clear up the misunderstanding with the church, and regain his lost divine power, so a fierce quarrel broke out between the two.

No one knew at the time that this trivial incident in a remote village could turn into a catastrophe that would engulf the entire church after fifteen days.

This day is destined to be remembered by all the clergy, millions of priests and paladins become degenerates at the same time on this day, such a sight even the craziest people would never dare to imagine, the clergy below the third order have lost all their divine power, and the clergy above the third order have also experienced varying degrees of degradation.

Pope Wenger was lowered from the seventh order to the third order, and the worst was Cardinal Macville, who fell directly from the ninth order to the first order, and the latter's face was pale, shocked and angry.

This event also marked a complete break between the gods and humans, and the war officially began.

And in an atmosphere of unease and panic, the Holy Alliance ushered in a monster tide.

When Elwood was still in power, in order to deal with Lehart VII and his two cavalry armies, he transferred all the troops that had been stationed in the Abyssal Rift back to Santa Massa, and the result of this was that when the monsters rushed out of it, they did not even encounter any decent resistance nearby, and they drove all the way into the heart of the Holy Alliance.
