Chapter 799: Recovering the Port and Rectifying the Church
When Lieyan and Deferry took the lead in escaping, the situation in the deep-water harbor quickly changed drastically, and when the battle inside the Tower of Trials was completely over, the clergy of the Sword God Temple, without even resting, immediately began the operation to recover the deep-water harbor.
Although at this time, there is still a large army in the deep-water port, but this army is actually just the general reserve army of the Celestial Dragon Empire, although the combat power is not too bad, but compared with the elite of the Red Flame Dragon Legion, it is really too far away.
In particular, this standing army left behind in the deep-water harbor has extremely obvious shortcomings in terms of top-level combat power above the legendary realm, which is absolutely extremely fatal for these people in the Sword God Temple! Although in terms of numbers, this army does occupy an absolute advantage, but even this advantage, they have not been able to maintain it for long.
Under the operation of the clergy of the Sword God Temple, in the deep-water port, those free adventurers who were originally waiting for the time being, at this time, a considerable number of them have chosen to temporarily join the battle sequence of the Sword God Temple!
If before, when the form was not clear, these adventurers didn't dare to bet in advance, then now, the Sword God Temple has obviously won the battle to defend the Tower of Trials, and the elite forces on the side of the Heavenly Dragon Empire have undoubtedly been hit hard. In this case, it is very obvious what choice should be made.
What's more, for these adventurers, the benefits they can get by choosing to take refuge in the Sword God Temple are obviously greater than those that they can get by throwing themselves into the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Much more!For the interests of the deep-water port, these adventurers may not care too much, but not to mention anything else, if this Tower of Trials alone really falls into the control of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. At that time, it is really unlikely that they, the free adventurers, will ever regain so many conveniences and benefits from the Tower of Trials as they did before.
But if the Tower of Trials can continue to be in the hands of the Sword God Temple, then for these free adventurers, there is no doubt that it will definitely be the most advantageous. Although these free adventurers, if they can unite, it is definitely a powerful force that no one can ignore, but everyone knows very well that these free adventurers who were originally scattered sand are basically impossible to truly unite, as for directly controlling this tower of trials. That's even less possible!
Because of this, these free adventurers. At this time, they would choose to stand with the Sword God Temple, because they didn't want to see the city of the deep-water port fall into the direct control of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Especially this Tower of Trials, no matter what, the benefits in it, these adventurers will definitely not let it out lightly!
The reason why they chose to wait and see before. That's mainly because the army brought by Blazing Flame, especially the Red Flame Dragon Legion, and those powerhouses above the Legendary Realm, are too intimidating. But now, not only the Red Flame Dragon Legion, but even those powerhouses above the Legendary Realm have basically fallen into this Tower of Trials, and so far, only Blazing Flame and Deferi, the two powerhouses of the Sacred Realm Realm, have finally barely escaped with their lives.
After the huge threat above their heads, what kind of choice should they make, for these free adventurers, it is really a simple matter. As long as there are no powerhouses above the legendary realm, just this standing army left behind in the deep-water port, these free adventurers still have the confidence to be able to deal with it.
Although these free adventurers certainly cannot compete with a large-scale army in terms of group operations, they are absolutely able to gain the upper hand in terms of individual strength! What's more, if the battle breaks out in the deep-water port, these adventurers will naturally not give the other party a chance to fight head-on, as long as they can use the advantages of the terrain to divide the battlefield as much as possible, as long as the other party falls into the disadvantage of fighting on their own, then even if they are scattered free adventurers, they may not be able to defeat the standing army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!
And the development of the next battle was indeed as expected by the Sword God Temple and these free adventurers. Although this standing army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, both in terms of combat effectiveness and strain speed, is already quite good, even if it can't be compared with the top elites like the Frost Burning Legion or the Red Flame Dragon Legion, it must not be regarded as an ordinary fish belly army.
In fact, being able to become the standing army of the Celestial Dragon Empire, the combat effectiveness of this army itself is definitely very impressive. Except for the Radiant Moon Empire and the Dark Sun Empire, as well as a few powerful kingdoms, it is basically difficult for those other countries to find a few armies that can be more powerful than them!
But even such an army that was not weak in combat was suddenly attacked by the Sword God Temple and the many free adventurers in the deep-water port, and still suffered extremely heavy losses in a short period of time! Although the high-ranking generals of this army tried their best to try to regain the situation, but the other party's attack this time was obviously prepared, and from the very beginning, they had already targeted all the weak links of this army, especially their command center, and at the beginning of the battle, they suffered extremely severe losses!
What's more, as an auxiliary force for this operation, even the high-ranking generals of this army actually don't have too high command authority, but the problem is that Lie Yan, as the supreme commander, didn't have a detailed explanation at all after leaving the Tower of Trials, just left an incomparably simple retreat order, and ran away by himself without the slightest nostalgia.
In this case, the top of this army was already in some kind of controversy because of the orders left by Blazing Flame, and when the Sword God Temple and those free adventurers launched a surprise attack on their various garrisons, the high-ranking generals of this army were still discussing whether to obey Blaze's orders. Is it better to abandon the deep-water port and retreat immediately, or to sit back and watch the situation change and stand still for the time being?
To be honest, even though Lie Yan was the supreme commander of this operation, it stands to reason that he gave the order. It should be carried out immediately without dispute. But the problem is that the importance of the deep-water port to the Celestial Dragon Empire has long been well known, and even without this tower of trials, the importance of the deep-water port has been continuously strengthened over the years.
In this case, it is clear that they have already taken control of this port city. If they just give up for so long without any reason, I am afraid that no soldier will feel willing! Although the high-ranking generals of this army do not have a high status in this operation, and it is difficult for them to come into contact with some key things, in such a major issue of right and wrong, even if it is an order issued by Lie Yan himself. They also had to think very carefully.
But it was this hesitation that finally made this army. This time, Yun Feng didn't even have to take action himself, but those clergy of the Sword God Temple, as well as those free adventurers who came to hear the wind, destroyed this standing army in the deep-water harbor without any suspense. Although in the process, the free adventurers also lost a lot. But the loss of the Sword God Temple itself is not too big. This is also because the priest of the Temple of the Sword God has mastered the divine arts, in terms of healing and restoration. There really isn't much of an advantage, otherwise, these free adventurers wouldn't have suffered such a big loss this time.
However, the reason why this raid battle was able to end the battle so quickly, the divine skills mastered by these Sword God Temple priests undoubtedly played an extremely crucial role! However, in the case of a surprise attack, it was still able to inflict such huge casualties on these free adventurers, and it can also be seen from this that even if it is only the standing army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, its combat effectiveness is absolutely not to be underestimated!
The war in the deep-water port ended quickly, and this port city once again returned to the control of the Sword God Temple, although the City Lord's Mansion and the local garrison were not directly controlled by the Sword God Temple, but at this time, everyone knew that this port city was actually completely under the control of the Sword God Temple!
It's just a little regrettable for those free adventurers that due to this attack of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, the inside of the Tower of Trial has still suffered a lot of damage, although the Sword God Temple has been trying its best to restore it, but in the next half a year, this Tower of Trial may not be able to open normally for the time being.
But even so, there are still not many adventurers who choose to leave the deep-water port at this time. Even if you can't enter the Tower of Trials for the time being, for most adventurers, the Deep Water Port, and the waters near the Deep Water Port, is still a good place for adventure! Not to mention, the area around the Devil's Sea alone already means a lot of opportunities and wealth for many adventurers!
At this time, Yun Feng didn't have much effort at all, but he paid attention to the trivial matters of the deep-water port, not to mention the deep-water port, if it wasn't for the sake of accumulating as much divine power as possible in a short period of time, I am afraid that even if it was the Sword God Temple, Yun Feng would not have much interest in taking care of it. But Yun Feng can't ignore it now, even without his own direct management, the Sword God Temple can still operate well, but according to the previous model of the Sword God Temple, it is almost impossible to collect enough faith power in a short period of time!
Because of this, Yun Feng now has to make certain changes to the Sword God Temple, and this change cannot affect the normal operation of the Sword God Temple, although Yun Feng does not pay too much attention to this church, but he also does not want this church that believes in himself to end up in ruin because of his own sake.
As a strong man, Yun Feng is indeed worthy of his name, not only has a strong enough personal strength, but also has a heart that is strong enough to dominate this power. But as a god, Yun Feng is definitely not qualified. Although he was now a high-ranking god, and he was still a powerful god who had already touched the threshold of the main god realm! But if he was simply from the perspective of a god, the current Yunfeng was indeed unqualified!
The creation and development of the Sword God Church is completely nondescript, needless to say, Yun Feng is already a high-level god now. However, it is really unacceptable that even the kingdom of God has not yet been built. Even if you look at the entire multiverse, a strange god like Yun Feng is definitely unique, right?
But now, Yun Feng had to try his best to be a "normal" god. Because that's the only way. He was able to obtain the power of faith with maximum efficiency, and in terms of the development of the church, even if it was just a random low-level god, it might be much stronger than Yun Feng, so what Yun Feng could do now was to learn the lessons of other gods as much as possible.
However, building an effective church organization cannot be achieved overnight. Yun Feng couldn't do anything better about this, if it weren't for the fact that he was in dire need of a lot of faith power right now. To transform the divine power so that he can condense a new godhead as much as possible, I am afraid that Yun Feng does not have the patience to care about the matter of the temple church at all.
Yun Feng's side is already bad enough, but the life on Lieyan's side is even more difficult. Although this time, he and Deferry finally escaped from the Tower of Trials in a thrilling way. But the price paid by the two of them for this is definitely quite heavy!
Deferry doesn't need to say more. His biggest loss was nothing more than the divine power crystals that he had quietly withheld when he broke the barrier of the Tower of Trials before, and this part of the divine power crystals was consumed in vain. For Deferry, it is indeed a very distressing thing, but after all, this is just an accident, and Deferry's own losses are actually quite limited.
But for the blazing flames. Not at all. The hole cards obtained from the Golden Dragon Dragon Family, originally issued in advance as a reward for this operation, according to the agreement between Lieyan and the Golden Dragon Dragon Family, these hole cards, if not used in the action, will eventually belong to Lieyan. But now, these hole cards have been exhausted in the Tower of Trials, and it can be said that they have not left any benefit to Lieyan at all!
If it's just that, then it's okay, it's the same as Deferry, it's a day job for the Golden Dragon Long family. But the problem is that the fall of the Red Flame Dragon Legion, for Lie Yan, there is no doubt that it will definitely be an extremely heavy blow, without this powerful elite legion, not only from now on, his status in the Heavenly Dragon Empire will be greatly affected, and even the right to speak within the Red Dragon Lie family will also be greatly affected!
Not only that, for Lie Yan, what was even stricter was actually his own change! That drop of demon god's blood, although it brought him great strength, even allowed him to directly ascend from the beginning of the Holy Domain to the peak of the Holy Domain in one breath, and even from the demigod realm, it was not too far away. But Lie Yan knew better than anyone else that such a big benefit could not have fallen from the sky out of thin air, and that drop of demon god's blood was actually not a good thing. Although his strength has indeed increased greatly now, what kind of changes will happen in the future, even Lie Yan himself is not confident that he can cope with it!
In any case, being targeted by a powerful demon god is definitely not a good thing, but Lie Yan has no way to do this at all now! He has no other choice than to seize an opportunity to improve his strength as hard as possible. As for the abnormal changes in the body caused by demonization, for Lie Yan, it is not a matter of much importance.
The change in appearance reminder can be completely disguised by the power of magic, although this practice is unlikely to hide the strength of those who are extraordinarily powerful, if it is replaced by other countries, it has almost been transformed into the devil's flame, I am afraid it is really difficult to have a place to stay. But if it was the Celestial Dragon Empire, Lie Yan was not very worried.
As the high-level of the Red Dragon Lie family, even in the entire Heavenly Dragon Empire, Lie Yan also has a very high status. Ordinary people may not know very well, but Lie Yan knows that the relationship between the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Nine Layers of Hell is definitely not simple! Not to mention, Lie Yan and the Red Flame Dragon Legion led by him have fought for the devil's side on the bloody battlefield more than once?
What's more, this time in the operation of attacking the Tower of Trial in the Deep Water Port, Lie Yan was able to obtain this drop of demon god's blood from the Golden Dragon Dragon Family, which in itself was a very clear signal, Lie Yan didn't believe that with the strength of the Golden Dragon Dragon Family, he could forcibly obtain this drop of demon god's blood from a powerful demon god. Even if there is also a true god in the Golden Dragon Dragon Family, Lie Yan absolutely does not believe that the power of the Golden Dragon Dragon Family can compete with the Nine Layers of Hell!
In this way, the Golden Dragon Dragon Family was able to obtain this drop of Demon God's blood, wasn't the problem already obvious? Before, Lie Yan didn't care much about this, because at that time, whether it was himself or even the entire Red Dragon Lie Family, a behemoth like the Nine Layers of Hell was too far away for them.
But now, Lie Yan himself is almost about to completely transform into a devil, and at this time, no matter what, it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye to the Nine Layers of Hell. What's more, in Lieyan's opinion, if nothing else, in the future, he might go to the ninth layer of hell to mix, and if he didn't do his homework in advance now, he would inevitably feel afraid at that time.
