In Ambo Harbor, the traditional diocese of Amberi, the Lord of the Storm and the goddess of the sea, and their base, the disappearance of the conquest fleet made the captains and sailors afraid to sail out of the port again, especially on the route to the west, which basically no one dared to go.

And the news that the underground organization came back from the investigation gradually began to circulate among the people, which is indispensable to the credit of Anna and Adès, because they were the first to know that the direct reason for the collapse of the fleet was because of the demon, and the news transmitted back by the adventurer team at that time, even Adès was startled, the demon appeared on land, that was normal, but in the sea, he heard of it for the first time.

So such rumors are circulating among the people, and many people denounce it as ridiculous, demons, especially the demons in the bottomless abyss, most of them are creatures of the chaotic camp, simply put, they are severely neurotic, and they regret what they decided one moment the next moment, and they want to destroy it even though they love something very much, and so on, such behaviors are commonplace for demons.

When everyone heard that the demon had organized a naval battle with the conquest fleet, the first thought of those who heard the news was ridiculous, this was simply impossible, but the news was so conclusive that even the demon's base camp guessed out, after all, there was only one place that could guard the east-west route.

There are very few small islands off the southern forest, and according to Ades' understanding, the continental shelf here does not extend outward, and it extends out for more than ten miles like a knife to form a cliff, and the cliffs in the sea cause the islands near the coastline to be not only pitifully small, but also have no fresh water sources.

In recent years, the only relatively large one that can hide people is the volcanic island off the coast of Barony Borden, which has been expanding in size since the eruption, and has recently been seen nearby. It has expanded into a large island with hundreds of tilts.

The shape of the volcanic island is also very regular, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and the ships passing along the coastline. You can only see the cliffs on the north side of the volcanic island, and you want to land. You'll have to go around half of the volcanic island to get a glimpse of the island.

A priest of the Temple of the Lord of the Storm was discussing with the deacon of the Temple of the Goddess of the Sea, and during this time, due to the disruption of the shipping routes, the church of the two gods was hindered in their local mission, and the priests even found that the faith of the believers was declining.

Rumors abounded that a large part of the followers of these two gods were sailors, captains, and inhabitants of the sea. Rumors circulated that the churches of the two gods showed no mercy to the believers, greedy for life and afraid of death, and the route was interrupted for such a long time, and the lives of the believers were greatly affected, but neither the church nor the gods were indifferent.

There are signs of abandoning the believers in this area, after all, we are all on the edge of the continent, and we were not valued before, and the church has no benefit in the local area. Of course, I don't care about the lives of the believers.

During this time, the church received fewer donations and its income plummeted. There are even some pan-believers who have directly converted, preferring to suffer the harm of conversion rather than believing in these two gods who do not care about the life and death of believers.

"Deacon Kemble, you know, our lord's style has always been tough, Ambo is a pilot of our church, the only parish that governs with the concept of gentleness, and our group of priests is quite few in our lord's church. Father O'Gavin, the Lord of the Storm, stated to Kemble.

In fact, his statement is a more official wording. In fact, everyone understands that Tajos has always been in style. A pastor with a mild-mannered personality like Agavin was lucky not to be branded a heretic in the church. And to come to Ambo, a city on the edge of the continent, is equivalent to being exiled, and of course, it is an outpost to the outside world to carry out religious affairs in the new region.

Kemble hesitated, this port was opened up by the Church of the Sea Goddess, there are no nobles here, all the management is drawn from the Sea Goddess Church, and even more than a hundred years ago, this place located not far from the mouth of the Hongshui River was just a tidal flat, and it was the Church that developed this settlement into what it is now, and became a fulcrum for East-West exchanges.

The Lord of the Storm is the main god of the goddess of the sea, and of course, the temple here also has the temple of Tajans, and even everyone in the "Furious Gods" can move here without suffering any blows, which is also the reason why Adès found the believers of the Poison Lady here last time preaching.

Kemble pondered for a moment, and then said to O'Gavin with some caution: "O'Gavin, I understand your thoughts, this is not the traditional parish of the Lord of the Storm, because with the protection of my Lord, there are not too many natural disasters here, and the power of the Lord of the Storm is not very impressive among the believers, so in this incident, the temple and the church you led suffered the greatest loss. ”

Ogavin nodded, looked at Kemble, and waited for him to continue.

"However, you must know that the power of our lord's church is not the strongest here, in the middle reaches of the Hongshui River, there is now the sphere of influence of the lady of the forest, the power of the king of beasts on the earth has completely failed, and his followers cannot stop the expansion of the power of the lady of the forest. ”

Agavin retorted urgently, "But the believers of that one will not come to the city, hasn't she always been opposed to human activities affecting the forest, and her father is even more disgusted with such things, and will not support her." ”

Kemble took a deep look at Ogavin, he was a little speechless about this naïve and cute adult, the followers of the forest lady would not come to invade the city, but the nobles would, Ambo connected the east and west, and also held the mouth of the Red Water River, such a strategic point made countless people want to come and get a piece of the pie.

He said to Ogarvin slowly, "A few days ago, one of the local directors of the forest and his wife, a priest of Mother Earth, passed by Ambo and went to the Black Iron Harbor to the west. ”

"What does that have to do with us?"

"I have received definite information that one of the believers of the one in the forest is in a fairly close relationship with the owner of the Black Iron Harbor, and that they may be in cooperation. Kemble told O'Gavin the news.

Ogavin still didn't understand, he frowned and said, "What does it matter, the traditional sphere of influence of the goddess of the sea is on the seaside, and the believers have no conflict with that one, can sailors and forest druids mix together? What can they do with vines in the water? coffin?"

Kemble really had nothing to say to this Ogavin, he held back his anger, and said to Ogavin who was sitting opposite him in a slightly louder voice: "The key is the master of the Black Iron Port, that is the nobleman, you must know that this time the conquest fleet has been wiped out, and the power of the territory has also been swept away by the viscount, and now no one can stop her from expanding her sphere of influence."

If we send an army to conquer the demon, what if she takes advantage of the emptiness of Ambo Harbor to invade our city?"

Agavin muttered, "She doesn't dare, how dare she attack a city with several gods and temples garrisoned?

"Why don't you dare, you know, she is also a theocratic nobleman, a believer in the Lord of the Dawn!"

"But the Lord of the Dawn is at best the same powerful divine power as my Lord, and when it comes to fighting, it's up to you who wins and who loses. O'Govin retorted to Kemble.

"Then what about the forest one, you listen to me count how many allies they have, Mother Earth Goddess, Lord of Nature, Forest Lady, Emerald Green Lady, Unicorn Queen, there are three powerful gods alone, I haven't counted those weak gods and weak gods, do you think the Lord of the Storm has a chance of winning?"

"This is impossible, if it is such a lineup, it is to provoke a war of gods, something that has never happened in thousands of years, for the sake of this small Ambo port, I don't think it is possible for the gods to do this. Ogavin refuted Kemble's claim.

Kemble sighed and said, "I'm not saying that they will provoke a war, but when it happens, how many resources do they have at their disposal, and how many do we have?"

"Then we can't sit back and wait because we are afraid of this, this incident was not provoked by them, the main reason is that the demons are good? In the main material plane, the gods have issued an extermination order, can't we ask them to go together to conquer it? If they don't agree, won't we tell our lord? Directly accuse their gods of colluding with demons in the pantheon, otherwise why don't their earthly forces clear up to suppress demons?"

Kemble looked at the priest who suddenly became excited, and there were countless things he wanted to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it, of course it was okay to ask others to go together, but it was difficult to say what price he would pay, would others support you for no reason? Besides, both the Lord of the Storm and the Goddess of the Sea had irreconcilable contradictions with each other's gods.

Whoever offered to support would be waiting to be punished by the Lord of the Storm or the goddess of the sea, and it was Ogawain who bowed to the enemy that could have imagined that there was a real reason why he was banished here.

In Nawabira County, the order of the territory is being restored, and there are several professionals in charge, whether it is the steward or the slave below, they are all very honest, and Ades also deliberately discussed with Anna a preliminary method, which is to separate the law, government affairs, and military personnel to manage, and not involve each other.

This is actually a preliminary political system of separation of powers, and Ades himself actually does not want to adopt it, but there is no one, so he has to implement it for the time being, and then take back the power later.

======================

There should be another chapter later.
