Chapter 259: Advantages and Disadvantages
Unlike the Wizarding Realm's urban area as a base, the Grace Realm Temporary Base takes the form of a settlement. It is to form a gathering area with the church as the core, and rely on some large magic to defend it, and there is no clear wall division.
Each church is a sub-settlement area, and the settlement of a church is concentrated together to form a large settlement area with the central church as the core. Although the strength of the defense is not high, it is conducive to the management of different churches and is not easy to cause disputes.
After all, the various churches within the Divine Grace Expeditionary Legion are only temporarily united under pressure from the magical world, and the dispute between them that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be resolved so quickly.
Churches have different beliefs, doctrines, taboos, and so on, and sometimes even conflict with each other, so it is absolutely impossible to mix like the wizarding world.
Unlike the magical realm, the charismatic realm is the instigator of the war between the two sides, but the gods and the church are not aiming for the battle and victory that they have been shouting hoarsely about. From the beginning to the end, the goal of the gods and the church has not changed, and that is faith.
Faith other than war, whether it is war or otherwise, is only a means, a means to finally gain and solidify faith. For the sake of faith, the gods and the church can do anything, and war has always been a means.
So even during war, the main job of the church is to spread and strengthen the faith, so it is not surprising that the church became the core of a temporary base in the war. The most important thing for the members of the expeditionary corps to do every day is not to train, but to pray and strengthen the faith.
The longer the war lasts, the more the power of faith will take root in the hearts of the members of the expeditionary legion, until they are all true believers and fanatics who have nothing but faith in their hearts. This is also the reason why the Church lowers the faith requirements to become a clergyman, as long as you join the Expeditionary Legion, the Church has the means to quickly increase the faith of its members during the war
The second time the two realms officially fought, the two sides will not be separated from each other at the beginning. Due to the rapid expansion of the Expeditionary Legion, they began to slowly occupy more regional space and build it as a legion base.
The wizarding world, on the other hand, is building new cities on a large scale behind the first stronghold cities to serve as new war strongholds. All cities, including the original first ones, were fortified and defended to adapt to the long and arduous fighting situation.
Of course, the magical world will not allow the charismatic world to expand so comfortably. The City of the End has been constantly issuing missions to sabotage the construction of enemy bases, and a large number of mages, demons, goblins, and so on continue to harass the construction work of the Divine Grace Realm in small groups.
The church didn't care about the loss of personnel, but the damage to the construction materials of the temporary base after the battle made the Holy See a little annoyed. The Divine Grace Realm and the Wizarding Realm are the opposite, and what they lack is those materials and supplies.
Because of the limitations of the technical level, coupled with the defects of its system system, the production system of the Divine Grace Realm is seriously unbalanced compared with the force system. There are very few members who can carry out magic props and material research and production. Those who believe in the gods can't do technical research, and they can't calm down and do productive work.
Forcibly sending some unsuitable people to do certain tasks that they are not willing to do is naturally inefficient, so the supply of materials in the Divine Grace Realm is completely incomparable to that of the Wizarding Realm.
Compared to the world of magic and the world of charism, the advantages and disadvantages are just right. Due to the wave of mages in the Colin Plane over the years, basically all professions in all planes have shown some trends towards research and production.
The wizarding world has long realized the issue of energy recycling, and as long as there are no major changes, the general resources of the wizarding world can be regarded as endless. Not to mention that now due to the rise of the [Logic Module] system, a ** magnitude of innovation is emerging, and magic props, potions, scrolls, etc. are constantly being produced.
The problem in the wizarding world has always been not material, but talent. Mages or other races have much higher talent requirements than the clergy of the Grace Realm, especially after the Church of the Grace Realm has significantly reduced the entry requirements.
Not only that, but a gifted person needs to go through a lot of learning and spend a lot of time to reach the main class of a certain profession before it is possible to succeed. It is absolutely impossible to form combat power in a short period of time after a short period of training, and then being recognized and blessed by the gods through a "baptism" ceremony, like a clergyman.
The basic management system of the wizarding world also presents disadvantages in terms of personnel scheduling. The divine grace realm belongs to the power of the gods, and when the oracle is issued, everything must obey the orders of the gods. The wizarding world is a joint management model, with a strong focus on individual wishes.
At the beginning of its establishment, all the management organizations in the wizarding world were very careful to limit their own authority, so at the beginning, the top management organization of the plane like Osvid had to persuade Xi Rui, an academic mage from the "remote" continent. This is a reflection of the wizarding world's ability to limit the authority of administrative organizations and the importance of individual power. Therefore, unless the survival of the world is at stake, the City of the End cannot forcibly order unofficial people to go to the battlefield.
To sum up, every member controlled by the City of the End is extremely important, and once sacrificed, it will definitely not be as easy as the clergy of the Divine Grace Realm to replenish it. Therefore, when the City of the End arranges tasks, it does not care about the loss and consumption of materials, and everything is based on the safety of personnel.
The harassment of the City of the End has indeed greatly hindered the construction of the base of the Divine Grace Expeditionary Legion. So after another deliberation in the temple of the gods, a new oracle was issued. The gods decided to start directly with a low-intensity sustained attack.
The purpose of this order was not to attack, but to attack and defend. In essence, it is to exchange the lives of the members of the expeditionary legion for supplies that will not be destroyed. In the eyes of the gods, human life is not comparable to the various materials that are more difficult to obtain, and it is not surprising that such a decision was made.
A large number of members of the Divine Grace Realm and the Wizarding Realm began a long standoff in the area of the first official engagement. This time, the Divine Grace Realm had already prepared, even if it was repelled by some strategic weapons, it would turn around and rush up again, and the two sides would enter the warm-up stage before the big war.
In addition to the angelic image summoning, another means of the Divine Grace Realm also appeared on the battlefield, that is, large-scale group divine arts.
There are also many group spells in the magic world, such as a large number of such spells recorded in Ciri [Fortress], and most of them are multi-system compound spells. This type of spell has been phased out as civilization has evolved, not because it is not competitive. In the final analysis, it is because of the emphasis on the role of the individual after the development of civilization, such as multi-system composite spells, which are now used but have declined due to the extreme requirement for group cooperation.
For the Divine Grace Realm, what they have always emphasized is group consistency, so most of its powerful divine skills require the cooperation of many people. For believers whose thoughts, ideals, and beliefs tend to be the same, it is not difficult to work together as a group. And because he doesn't like research, he has fewer other activities, which makes him train a lot and cooperate very well.
