Amy's mass conscription doesn't seem very rational - but Leon is missing and her father is trapped, and no one can keep Amy sane in this situation.

Conscription and preparation for war itself should be, but the problem is that the large-scale conscription of people made the news of Leon's disappearance spread quickly.

Of course, this news was not easy to block - the city defense army fought a battle with the Knights of the Dawn for the honor of Leon, and the Fields knew about it, and even if they issued a gag order, they would cover it up for a few days at most, and the seal could not be sealed.

But this kind of news, even if it is only covered up for a few days, can make a big difference.

Now it is not covered up for a day, and there is a vigorous commotion, which makes the Raven Kingdom, which was originally honoring the cooperation agreement, withdraw its troops directly - the Raven Kingdom soon knew that Li Ang was missing, so the previous agreement was naturally useless, and the Raven Kingdom naturally would not lose its troops in vain.

Although tearing up the agreement is tantamount to declaring war, Gregory IV has to rush back to settle Ursula, and there is no way.

Subsequently, the situation in the Lion Kingdom became very difficult.

With the departure of the Ravens, the tide of battle in Rock Bay took a turn for the worse, and Brennus was given a respite and quickly launched a counterattack while Godric and Leofrick were trapped in Misty Castle.

At the same time, the Bacchus Empire reacted quickly, and Anson's Karen Deer Fort faced his old friend, Governor Justus; The fort of Sava was also quickly captured by General Agazon.

- If Li Ang is still there, Emperor Marius will definitely give Li Ang face. But Leon is missing, and Emperor Namario will definitely not give face to the Lion Kingdom......

On the contrary, Anson had a bigger face, and Justes politely asked Anson to go back to Changhe Town with everyone who was willing to leave, and did not directly attack Karen Deer Castle.

Of course, this is also for the sake of Alina's face - Alina is now in Lion City, and Justes naturally won't be too tough.

After hesitating for a while, Anson remembered that Leon had written a letter to Emperor Marius - people are saved if they lose their land, and people and lands are saved; If people are lost, people and land are lost.

So he wrote these words into a military newspaper and passed them to Amy, and at the same time brought everyone in Karen Deer Fort and Salon Village back to Changhe Town, without blindly losing strength.

In this way, the entire county of Karen Deerburg was reabsorbed into the Bacchus Empire.

At the same time, there was a problem on the side of Dexia - the lord of Singar, Caliph Tahir, led his troops to attack the Kel Leidan, on the southwestern border of the Lion Kingdom, and Ramon did not react to this.

If something happened to Leon, Ramon would definitely warn him in advance, and maybe even block Tahir directly, but Leon is gone......

In just over twenty days, the Lion Kingdom suddenly became enemy on all sides.

Amir and the distant countryside were recaptured by Brennus's counterattack, and Leofric was trapped in the Lost Castle and struggled to resist.

The area around the Sava Fort had been captured by Agathon, the Seven Forks had not yet been rebuilt, and the newly formed cavalry of the Empire had appeared near Yargar.

Both Howling and Howl were occupied by Fieldsway, and Count 'Forkhu' Airy's party had appeared in Azgod.

The castle of Kell-Ledan and Bemont-Falai fell into the hands of the Dessyas, and Baranli, the burial place of the previous lion kings, was also in danger - the burial goods in the king's tomb were enough to give the Desa a free hand.

The capital, Lion City, is about to face the attack of various countries!

Fortunately, Amy ordered some new troops to be recruited, otherwise the empty Lion City would have to face a tough battle now......

There is only one reason for all of this - Leon is missing.

It is only now that the people of the Lion Kingdom fully realize that it turns out that Li Ang, the young Grand Duke of Changhe Town, did not rise to the throne by nepotism, he was the one who made the countries dare not act rashly.

Without Leon, the Lion Kingdom has become an attractive big cake.

The only good news is that after recovering the lost territory of the Bacchus Empire, Emperor Marius gave Amy a respite - Emperor Marius said that out of the sisterhood of Alina and Amy, the Bacchus Empire is willing to help the Lion Kingdom deal with several other countries as long as the Lion Kingdom is willing to provide money, food, and military supplies......

It's a scheme, and it's what both Marius and Leon are good at—they're really like-minded.

Amy knew very well that if she didn't join forces with Bacchus, then the Lion Kingdom would probably be doomed.

But if Emperor Marius is asked to 'help' the Lion Kingdom, it is to quench his thirst, and those towns around the Lion City may soon become the garrison of various legions of the Bacchus Empire - in the territory of the Lion Kingdom, using the money and food of the Lion Kingdom to fight other countries, no matter how it is fought, it will be of great benefit to Bacchus, and of course this kind of business Marius will do.

Emperor Marius's intention was actually to use the Lion Kingdom as a battlefield, use the national strength of the Lion Kingdom to accelerate the recovery of the national strength of the Bacchus Empire, and drag other countries to the death in the war quagmire of the Lion Kingdom.

Even if the Lion Kingdom and other countries don't want to fight, with the Bacchus Empire's 'assistance' and provocation from both sides, this battle will definitely never be over.

When the Bacchus Empire has sucked enough blood and is strong enough to conquer the continent, the day will come when the Lion Kingdom will be finished.

And until then, the Lion Realm will be in the flames of war all the time, and it will not stop for a moment.

This kind of deadlock can either be broken by force and subdue all countries - but the Noldor elves are not there, and they will definitely not be able to break it.

Or, abandon the entire western part of the Lion Kingdom...... Retreat to the eastern part of the kingdom, the most stable region, away from the quagmire of war, then sit back and watch the tiger fight, and silently accumulate strength and wait for an opportunity.

However, Godric was also besieged in the Lost Badgard, and the main army of the kingdom was either in the Lost Castle or in the Lion City.

Amy can't give up the western part of the kingdom, and she doesn't dare to give up - if she dares to abandon Lion City, all the nobles and city defenders will definitely join the enemy! These are the children of the nobles in Lion City and the surrounding areas, and it is impossible for them to abandon their territory and leave their homeland.

Therefore, although Amy was not happy, she had to accept this 'covenant', and the nobles in the Lion City all wanted Queen Amy to accept it......

Alina didn't leave Lion City, she stayed with Amy, and gave Amy a lot of pertinent advice.

But the decline of the Lion Kingdom is already doomed.

"Boy, your safety alone is directly related to the survival of a kingdom and the war situation of the entire continent...... It's very much like I was back then, and it's worthy of my blood......"

After talking about the current situation in the Lion Kingdom, Kavala gave his summary.

Leon frowned, judging from the current situation, the deteriorating situation may be more than that.

There are many things that Kavala does not know.

If you are missing, you will probably lose credibility of the large-denomination magic coins that have just been released, and the banks will definitely face a run......

This will inevitably trigger an economic crisis in the entire east.

His men may also fall apart, and in his absence, the lords of Forsette and Inna will not obey Amy's command, and Sigismund and the others may also find another place to live.

And Wendy will definitely not return to the Noldor Forest honestly, she will definitely try her best to find herself - if she is not in the Noldor Forest, without her 'Sindari' identity suppression, what will the Noldor do?

And what will Aldalian do?

The trust that has been built between the Noldor elves and humans is likely to break down again.

If he is not there, and Wendy is not there, then the area around White Hart Castle will inevitably be captured by Aldarian - Aldarian has always been under the pretext of letting humans kill each other and take advantage of the Noldor to take control of the continent.

At that time, there will be no more peace on the entire continent, and it will be really difficult to restore it.

"Looks like I have to hurry back, or the Lion Kingdom may be gone...... Even with the Noldor elves, it is likely that something big will happen...... But how do I get back? ”

Leon looked at the brazier.

Althia also became worried, and she could think of what would happen if Leon, the bridge between humans and Noldor, was gone.

"If the Codex is on you, it's easy to go back. But now that the Code is gone, there is only one last option left...... How you came, how you go back. ”

There was also a hint of helplessness in Kavala's voice.

"Yes...... I made that code ...... through thunder and lightning."

Li Ang frowned, looked back at the gate of the Temple of Divine Vision, and his unfinished words came to an abrupt end.

He realized what Kavala wanted him to do......

The door of the temple is exactly the same as the pages in the Codex, which is the large 'Gate of the Abyss', or 'Gate of Heaven'.

"Looks like you've got it...... Child, what the Codex can do, can be done here. ”

Kavala said softly.

"What exactly is the Codex? The Three Prophets said it was the gate of the abyss, and Agraem said it was the gate of heaven...... What is it? ”

Leon asked with a frown, looking at the door of the temple.

"Ha, the abyss is actually the kingdom of heaven...... The kingdom of heaven that Agraem was looking for was actually where he had lived—and this was it. You can see if you shine a real torch on the dome of the temple. ”

Kavala seemed to smile.

Leon looked up, and the top of the temple looked like nothing.

He went outside to light a torch from the embers of the fire and held it up.

Nothing could be seen at the direct glance, but the firelight reflected a shadow in the dome.

There was something suspended there, invisible to the naked eye, but reflecting a shadow in the firelight, which looked like an elliptical cantilevered structure - roughly the same as the galaxy pattern on the door.

Leon turned his head to look at the soul fire on the wall, and then he realized, although the soul fire can illuminate the temple, it can't leave a shadow on any object - this is completely out of optical logic, no wonder he always feels that this temple is a little unnatural.

"Is that the abyss?"

Leon seemed to understand a little.

"Not only was it an abyss, it was also a door to the void, and I don't know what it was called. But I know that every god has left through this door, and must return to the earth through this door......"

There was a hint of something else in Kavala's words: "But...... The gods who have left should not have returned. ”

"So, who built this temple? Who brought you here? ”

Leon asked.

"I don't know who built it, I just know that it was Yunomia who brought me here, but she left three hundred years ago - she asked me to be the gatekeeper here...... Because only I can stop the return of all the gods, including Yunomia herself! ”

Kavala's attitude towards Leon is quite good, and he almost answers any questions.

"Stop the gods from returning? Why? ”

Leon was a little surprised: "Why did Yunomia prevent her from returning to the earth by herself? ”

"Because, the order that Yunomia wants, is an order without gods...... It is an order that belongs to ordinary people. Only then will the earth not be destroyed - you should know what the Sindari elves have done, right? At that time, Sindari, the dragon, and the Titans were equivalent to the gods of the earth......"

Kavala told Leon a secret that no one had ever mentioned: "Actually, God is a human ......"

In the days of Sindari Elves, Dragons, and Titans, there were no gods on earth—these transcendent beings were gods themselves.

However, after the Battle of the Titans, the magical weapons created by the Sindari elves destroyed the continent of Gwendarion, and the surging magical storm caused the extinction of the vast majority of magical creatures.

Without the suppression of various magical races, human beings have risen rapidly with extremely strong adaptability and reproduction speed, and gradually produced some characters with special talents.

These people are basically the leaders of each continent.

Having taken control of the authorities, they naturally began to pursue immortality—an inevitable way of thinking for creatures like humans.

Some people are indeed the best of the best, but I don't know who was the first to discover that people's devout beliefs can bring about some kind of special spiritual power, so these people began to try to define themselves as gods.

They made up all kinds of myths and legends, and they also discussed and divided the various fields.

When the leaders were about to create gods, the commoners were usually very easy to fool.

Thus, a group of 'gods' were born that were deliberately made known to people.

In fact, it was less than 2,000 years ago - it was when Avadain and the Noldor elves were constantly migrating from place to place, trying to find a place to stay, and Arcia and the little dragon Kualis had already met the true gods on this island.

Of course, in the texts of various gods, they boast that they are very old and natural, after all, in order to gain faith, it is necessary to beautify the image a little.

In fact, the true God is never revealed to people, and he deliberately hides his imprint, even erasing all memories of it. When it is truly indelible, some exchange is used to limit the freedom of those who know—just like the true owners of this island.

But man-made 'gods' are different—they need faith, they preach it, they need everyone in the world to know their names.

They did gain devout followers and became transcendent.

But the human body will always age, this is the law of the world, and it cannot be reversed.

In order to live forever, these 'artificial gods' who have received the power of faith have abandoned their bodies one after another after the end of their lives in their bodies and become complete spirits.

The power of faith keeps their souls alive and will not dissipate.

But there are gains and losses, and it is indeed possible for the spirit to be immortal and immortal, but it is impossible to touch the entity.

Therefore, these gods cannot directly intervene with humans, they can only engage in some seemingly mysterious events to show miracles.

For example, the goddess of justice likes to send down oracles in dreams; The goddess of darkness stimulates the soul of a person to bring out the potential of the believer.

The Goddess of Darkness can't actually empower people, but she can make people's subconscious mind no longer restrain their bodies, which can make people realize their full potential, and they will have great power - but at a heavy price.

People can only use the power that their bodies are willing to let you use, and this is a kind of self-preservation.

Human bones and muscles are theoretically capable of transmitting thousands of pounds of force. However, this power comes at a terrible cost, ranging from irreversible damage to bones, muscle groups and internal organs, to sudden death.

This is actually the reason why heretical summons such as the Three Prophets or the Fallen have strange powers, they either lose their sanity or use other people's bodies, and naturally do not have a sense of self-protection.

Originally, these artificial gods were quite harmonious, after all, they were just trying to gain faith and thus gain immortality, and the starting point was just not to die.

In the beginning, they were just trying to find a way to increase the number of believers.

But then, they discover more about the soul and discover that the stronger their faith, the more they can do—to be able to occupy the bodies of others, to cast spells like the Sindari elves, and even to move mountains and seas to become omnipotent beings.

Thus, the struggle of the 'gods' for population and faith began.
