Chapter 2: The Dark Country
The reason why the Chenxing Church adjusted its strategic direction was because the situation in the entire north had changed dramatically, and it was soon unified again, and it was no longer a chaotic situation. Hunter Prophet Channing prophesied that there is a black cloud in the north, which will envelop the world in the future! This terrible black cloud is the country of darkness established by Huggins, and the Magister took advantage of the disputes between several princes, and it only took more than a year to quickly wipe out all the small principalities and become another force in the heavenly realm, and it stands to reason that it should be an ally with the Celestial Star Church.
However, this ally is extremely paranoid, and Huggins is bent on carrying out evil to the end.
So, when Halifax sent an emissary hoping that the light of St. Ossidine would first shine north of the fortress of Neven, but was ruthlessly banished, Huggins told the emissary that his kingdom did not need light, only darkness, and that there was no need for the humans here to have any thoughts, because they would be a herd of "cattle" dedicated to providing souls for the dead.
Every prince thought that Huggins would help him complete the plan to restore the country, but no one expected that he would be pitted in the end, and the Xiangri Empire, a country that once worshiped the sun, is now completely plunged into endless darkness. People raise chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in captivity, slaughter them at will, and never think that one day they will be captive and experience the taste of the cage. In addition to keeping a few henchmen and building a strong army, the vast majority of human beings, living a desperate life, bid farewell to freedom forever, and became chickens, ducks, cows and sheep in the eyes of Huggins.
Thousands of years of civilization is not bullshit in Huggins's eyes, he destroyed all the cities, transformed them into "sheepfolds" next to each other, filled with men, women and children, let people return to their primitive state, all ethics and social norms aside, the most important work is mating and procreation, nothing else matters. Huggins asked his magicians to release charm spells and encourage people to intersect, and every day there was a big drama in the "sheepfold", and the children born were almost immediately killed, and Huggins only wanted souls.
The war has led to the death of millions of people in the north, and the souls produced have been collected by Huggins in large quantities, coupled with the current means of captivity, the undead under his command are growing rapidly, almost all of them have reached level six or seven, and gradually have the momentum to overwhelm the army of the undead of Senior. Huggins himself has benefited a lot, he has already stepped into the Holy Realm, reached the height of the ninth level, and is only one step away from becoming a king.
Sensing the crisis, Zakanaias became wary of Huggins' ambitions, and he personally came to the underworld, exerted terrible coercion, and asked his servants in a very solemn tone: "Huggins, do you want to follow in the footsteps of the nine kings and challenge the bottom line of the heavenly realm?"
"Great master, it's not what you think, I'm different from those kings, my soul is controlled by you, and if you take a step beyond the thunder pool, you can be destroyed, so why should you worry?" Huggins replied on his knees, "The reason why I want to reach the Sanctuary is to help you better manage the underworld and deal with the undead who try to continue to be powerful, so that you can save a lot of trouble." ”
"You think I don't understand, once you become a god, your soul will be able to get rid of my shackles!"
"So what, the nine kings back then were not your opponents when they joined forces, I wouldn't be so stupid to choose to confront the Heavenly Realm. Huggins reaffirmed his loyalty.
"That's not necessarily, Halifax has already reported to the Heavenly Realm that the northern continent you rule is not willing to spread faith, what are you going to do?"
"My lord, you are a great god general in the heavenly realm, in charge of life and death in the underworld, but you have never been to the main plane, and you don't know the specific situation there. Huggins explained, "It's fair to say that in the main plane, the number of souls is huge, reaching hundreds of millions, can it be said that they really have wisdom, no, out of 10,000 lives, 9,999 are stupid and unworthy of souls, because they are just consuming energy, fighting each other, doing meaningless things, these guys might as well die, contribute their souls, make my army of the undead, and make a little practical contribution to your cause in the underworld." People always have to die, and watching a group of fools slowly grow old and die is really angry with them. ”
"The Celestial Realm needs the power of their faith. Zakanaias retorted.
"But your mission is to control the underworld, and if the barrier of the underworld is broken, no amount of faith will help. ”
Zacanaias was silent for a long time and said, "Lord St. Ossidine is the supreme god, and his will, whether it is you or me, cannot be violated. Betrayal can only lead to destruction. ”
Huggins looked up to the sky, staring at the gray sky of the underworld, and after Zakanaias disappeared for a long time, he withdrew his gaze, stood in front of the statue of the Gray Knight Charge, and stood for more than ten minutes before finally saying: "Sir, you chose to charge at the beginning, although it is admirable, but you did not get the desired result. I'll only charge when I have to, and although it's humiliating, the odds are better. Of course, if I fail, I'm afraid no one will give me a statue. ”
"Is the statue important, no one appreciates this place. Barbara's soul appeared at Huggins' side at some point.
"Don't come to negotiate anymore, dear junior sister, the battle between us cannot be avoided. Huggins sighed, "But remember, if one day I feel the danger of perdition, I will inform you in advance, and you and that Senior, can rush over and absorb my soul fire, and Zakanaias will eventually miscalculate." Either way, the underworld is undead, not their heavenly realm. ”
Huggins stopped talking to Barbara and went straight back to the main plane, where he met with Pique and asked about the situation in the south.
"Lord King, I'm afraid there will be a big battle in the south, the main forces of the church are pouring out, all pressed on the borders of the Misty Kingdom, the two sides are tense, and the decisive battle is about to begin. Peake said.
"Very good, now inform the army, we will take the opportunity to conquer the fortress of Nevin, take the city of Heavenly Grace, and give them a chance to enter. ”
"Ah!" Peake was shocked, "isn't that against the Most High God?"
"The Most High God? Huggins looked at Peake coldly, "Everyone, there is a supreme god in their hearts, and he is not St. Ossidine, but himself. ”
