In an ornate church, a middle-aged man hurriedly pushed through the door of the conference hall and entered, his anxious expression seemed to be something big in his eyes.

"Lord Pope, the Blood Demon Crystal that we implanted in the Dark Blood Demon Worm Mother Emperor has lost its energy response, as if it were ......"

The middle-aged man half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully towards the figure above the main seat of the conference hall,

"If nothing else, the mother queen of the Dark Blood Demon Worm has probably disappeared!"

"What did you say, the Mother Emperor of the Darkblood Demon Worm was destroyed?"

The pen in the hand of the figure who was called the Pope paused slightly, and said with some surprise,

"With the Blood Demon Crystal we gave, this Dark Blood Demon Worm can not only change its fear of the cold, but also greatly enhance its strength, but it is just dealing with a group of 30,000 winged people, how can this happen?"

"Your Holiness the Pope, this ...... The subordinates have not yet been identified. ”

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment, then said respectfully.

"Since we haven't found out, let's go and find out!"

Above the main seat of the conference hall, there was a slight angry shout.

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

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

After destroying all the Darkblood Demon Worms, Rhodes did not bring Lucifer and other angels back to the church, but asked Lucifer to lead a group of angels to garrison the Heavenly City, waiting for the oracle of Daozu at any time.

After all, the matter of Lucifer and the other 30,000 winged people becoming angels is still an extremely secret thing, and the only dark blood demon insect clan who knows the truth has turned into ashes, such a powerful force can just be used as a hidden power of Taoism.

Of course, teleporting the Heavenly City to the Xuandao Cathedral is not a simple matter, and it requires an extremely large amount of faith power, which is one of the reasons.

Originally, Rhodes planned to continue to look for some foreign races to develop Taoist believers, but just as he was about to leave, a message came from the church that made him stop his operation.

The Perry River, which had always been stable in the Oakland Empire, has burst!

In fact, almost every year or two in the empire, some large and small rivers will burst and collapse, causing personal and property losses to the people along the river, but there is no big problem, the empire's strong action force will quickly dispatch a series of magicians and craftsmen to repair it, and provide disaster relief and subsidies to the people along the river.

However, the Pericius River is not a small river, it is the largest inland river in the entire empire, and the water system spreads throughout the central part of the Oakland Empire, providing a huge boost to the development of agriculture and shipping industries, and it can be said that the Perrisius River feeds most of the civilians in the central part of the empire.

For hundreds of years, the Pericius River has been extremely stable, and there has never been a large-scale burst, but to anyone's surprise, the middle section of the Pericius River's embankment collapsed this summer, and the terrible flood swept through a huge area of the five central provinces of the Oakland Empire in an instant.

And after that, the flood situation became more and more serious, and even had a tendency to engulf most of the empire.

In this situation, a series of measures of the empire in the past were difficult to work, sending magicians and craftsmen to repair the river embankment, but only a section of the repair continued to be washed away, except for the relief of the people, the empire at this time had no other operational means.

If the flood continues like this, the entire empire will be in turmoil, and the country's strength, which has been booming, will be restored to its original shape.

Therefore, Wen Sa turned to Taoism for help, hoping that Rhodes could help solve this terrible flood.

After thinking for a moment, Rhodes returned to the Xuandao Cathedral through any door and summoned a group of high-ranking people for a meeting.

"Your Holiness Pope, after the outbreak of the floods, all the priests and priests of our churches in the five central provinces took action, cooperated with the local imperial government to lead the victims to take refuge in safe places, and gave the stored food to all the victims in the form of disaster relief. ”

Looking at Rhodes in front of him, Jerph stood up, respectfully and clearly reporting that Taoism had taken a series of measures after the flood broke out,

"So far, there have been no large-scale casualties in the five central provinces affected by the disaster, except for the area around the Pericio River flooding, and the situation is still under control. ”

After a pause, Jelf's brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly,

"It's just that because the number of victims is too large, coupled with the difficulty of food transportation, the food stored by the various branches and churches of our sect and the local imperial government is being rapidly depleted, and I am afraid that it will only last for another half a month. ”

"Yes. ”

Rod bowed his head slightly, his fingers slowly tapped on the tabletop, and he said,

"So...... What about how to deal with floods?"

"Your Excellency, I have gone to the flood-infested area with a high-ranking magician of a sect, and to be honest, the water of the Pericius River is too large to use earth or water magic to stop the flood. ”

A bitter smile appeared on Jelf's face, and then he said with some bitterness,

"After consultation with the Imperial Government, the current measure is to strengthen and raise the embankment of the Perician River in the surrounding provinces where the flood is about to spread, hoping to control the extent of the flood in the five central provinces. ”

Limit the scope of flooding to the five central provinces?

Hearing this, Rod's brows furrowed slightly, the five central provinces are the five most fertile and developed victories in the Perishio River Basin, both the economy and the population belong to the level of a popular province within the empire, almost equal to a quarter of the empire's national strength, and now in order to maintain the overall situation, it is really a huge sacrifice to choose to give up the five central provinces.

However, Rod also knew in his heart that Wen Sa was not willing to give up the five central provinces, so he turned to himself for help, hoping to solve the disaster of the Pericio River with minimal damage.

Almost all of the people in the five central provinces are followers of Taoism, providing him with an extremely large power of faith, if left unchecked, not only will the empire's national strength suffer a huge loss, but the foundation of Taoism will also be weakened.

Therefore, he naturally will not ignore it, and solving the disaster of the Perician River flood is also an extremely important thing for him.

"Dao Ancestor is above. ”

After a moment of silence, Rhodes stood up and said to everyone,

"The scourge of the flood will be removed by Urod!"
