The extreme cold froze the sea, turning it into a cloud of ice crystals, which shot at Anatol under the control of Old Hagmar.

A huge sea serpent with a skin covered in fine scales sprang out of the sea, opened its bloody mouth, and launched an attack on Anatol.

On the west coast of the empire, there is no sky, no land, only the endless sea water, as if the water of the entire West Sea has converged here, endlessly.

In the face of the attacks of countless water tribes and old Hagmar, Anatol's face was not good-looking, he didn't know what these water tribes were crazy about, and they dared to attack humans on land

A galaxy wrapped around him, firmly protecting the surroundings, blocking the stabbing ice crystals, Anatole used all his strength, he is a god of faith who has completed three awakenings, and his strength is the level of a god, which has long exceeded the level of transcendent creatures, and the two sides are not opponents at the same level at all, even if the number can make up for a slight gap, but it can't change the result.

Soon, blood stained the sea red, and more and more aquarium corpses floated on the water, their internal organs and bile mixed together, giving off a fishy and pungent smell.

On the surface of the sea where the moonlight poured in the distance, the figures of Ma Wei and Yunia suddenly appeared, looking at the sea water contaminated by blood, Yunia couldn't help but say, "Dad, the casualties of the water tribe are so heavy, let's send a signal quickly!" ”

"Hmm."

Mavi clenched the Siren's Tears and whispered in his mind the name of the Whale Zu Saisida, which was the contact method he had set with the Whale Zu Saisida, and as soon as the Palace of Versailles succeeded, Mavi would immediately return to the west coast of the empire to inform them.

Half an hour had passed since Mavi left Versailles, and at Rogin's speed, he would be able to reach the imperial border at sunrise, and at that time, if Anatole still pursued, he would inevitably be stopped by other gods of faith.

Receiving the signal, Cecida and Old Hagmar began to direct the Aqua to retreat, but Anatole did not let them go, apparently angering him from the battle just now, and vowed to exterminate the Aqua.

The water tribe fought and retreated, and did not disperse all at once, old Hagmar was very smart, and when he saw Anatol's thoughts, he decided to concentrate his forces and slowly retreat towards the deep sea, as long as he entered the dead sea, Anatole had to retreat.

The Dead Sea is a place where even gods can get lost

Anator pursued the Sea Clan, and soon left the west coast of the empire and entered the depths of the ocean, he did not worry about his safety, a few water tribes could not kill him, and in the same way, once the water tribe entered the dead sea, he was helpless.

Woo –

Woo –

Suddenly a whistle sounded in the ocean in the middle of the night, Anatole was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the fleet not far away, and when he saw the flag fluttering on the ship, his heart suddenly 'clicked'.

Royal Navy!

"Anatole!"

Archbishop Liviu stepped onto the deck with his scepter, his cloudy eyes were as sharp as a falcon at the moment, and he asked sharply, "What happened to your Highness?!" ”

"Humph!"

Anatole was not going to answer the question of the Archbishop of Liviu, he stopped chasing the water tribe, turned his head and left, seeing that he looked like a thief, the Archbishop of Liviu looked behind him, and soon, a holy woman chanted in a low voice, and the goddess of sin, Tilde, possessed her, stopped Anatole.

Stopped by Tilde, Anatole stopped and said angrily, "Get out of the way." ”

Tilde said with an indifferent expression: "Anatol, the thread of fate has given guidance, the Manstein Potions Company does not belong to you, you better not waste your efforts, hurry up and release Brandon and them." ”

"Release?" Anatole seemed to hear a joke: "I have never caught them, how can I release them?" Aren't you bored, Tilde, you always look like a god, and all three of you sisters are like this, with a beautiful skin, but as stiff as a piece of wood, and you talk about your fate all day long? ”

"According to the guidance of fate" Tilde turned his head to look to the east, looking in the direction of the Palace of Versailles: "The Cult of Wisdom will suffer great losses tonight. ”

Anatoer's heart jumped, he looked at the departing water tribe, as if he realized something, scolded secretly, and his body turned into a black mist and flew in the direction of the Palace of Versailles.

Tilde stared at Anatole's departing figure, and did not say a word of mockery, as if other beings were no longer angry about questioning fate, yes or no, right or wrong, sooner or later it would be witnessed.

"Goddess."

When Tilde returned to the ship, Archbishop Liviu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Does Anatole still refuse to let Brandon and them come back?" ”

"He'll let people go." "But before Brandon comes back, I think you should go to the Perea," said Tilde. ”

"The Perea? Do you mean that the Bonaparte Empire is going to attack the kingdom? ”

Tilde didn't answer, just raised his palm, and a holy ball of light appeared in his palm, spreading countless silk threads, two of which turned red, stretching straight into the distance, stretching in the direction of Bonaparte's First Empire.

"Soon, the three Manstein brothers will meet in the Perea, and after that, Anatoll will release Brandon."

With that, Tilde left the body of the saint, leaving the pensive Archbishop of Liviu.

Will the three brothers of the Manstein family meet in the Perea?

Could it be said.

Archbishop Liviu looked at the thick darkness in the distance: "Did they escape from Anatole's hand on their own?" ”

"Archbishop, are we going to continue our offshore cruises?" The first mate stepped forward to ask.

"No, return at once, follow the will of the goddess, go to the Perea, and meet the three Manstein brothers!"

"Yes!"

Bonaparte Empire, Palace of Versailles.

Swish!

Anatol's figure appeared above the palace, and this prosperous palace was not damaged much, not even the skin of the walls fell off, and it was still full of luxury.

But in the north of the palace, trees were toppling, dirt was flying, hundred-year-old giant trees were uprooted, and in the deep craters, there were dozens of white bones that had long lost their flesh and blood, and not even a drop of blood could be seen on the ground around them.

It's as if the bones were dug out of the ground.

"Lord God!"

In the palace of Versailles, the archbishop of Fay felt the breath of Anatole appear above his head, and hurriedly greeted him, looking distressed, with bandages on his shoulders, and suffered a lot of injuries.

"Fay!" Anatore fell to the ground: "Where are Felix and Jonas?!" ”

"They. They fled."

"Bastard! Can't you even catch two humans who can't do magic?! ”

"Lord God, is. It's a giant wolf that has attacked us! Archbishop Fai defended: "The other party is a leader-level transcendent creature!" A monster that can't die when shot by hundreds of arrows of Tikeus! It also pulled out a strange crystal skull! A terrifying blood mist was released, and everyone who touched the blood mist was eaten away, leaving only bones! Even the soul is gone! ”

"Crystal skulls?"

Anatole frowned, "What kind of skull?" Made of crystals? What are the characteristics? ”

Archbishop Fai described it in detail, and he remembered it well.

After listening

Anatole flipped his palm, and a rectangular crystal block with only the length of his index finger appeared in his hand: "Is this the thing?" ”

"That's right! That's it! Archbishop Fai suddenly became excited: "Lord God, what is this?" Why is it so powerful? We could have killed that wolf! ”

"This is the crystal core, a treasure ore that has been nearly extinct in real times." Anatol's face was a little ugly: "The crystal tree core is currently the most suitable material for magic, I don't know how many times stronger than gold, alchemy can't be copied, it can only be extracted from the stumps of the alchemy god tree, I have collected it for so long to get such a small piece, but that giant wolf actually has a crystal tree core the size of a human head!" ”

"Behind that giant wolf, there must be a big force!"

Archbishop Fai said, "Lord God, the giant wolf has come to rescue Mr. Felix and Mr. Jonas, Felix knows it, you say, could that giant wolf be the helper that Nicholas has hired?" ”

"Nicholas."

Hearing this name, Anatol's face became even more ugly, he didn't want to admit that the giant wolf was the helper invited by Ma Wei, but the fact is that not only the giant wolf that attacked the Palace of Versailles and had a large crystal core was Ma Wei's helper, but even the water tribe that attacked the west coast of the empire was most likely invited by Ma Wei!

How much energy should there be behind the humans who can mobilize the Hygmar and the Whale Humans to help, as well as the giant wolf?

Anatole now understood why Mavi was able to buy potions materials that no one else could buy.

He was friends with those otherworldly creatures!

The treasures that humans need to rely on force to plunder are nothing more than a matter of words in Ma Wei's opinion!

It is not that there are no transcendent beings close to humans in history, there are, but there are very few, and it can be said that they are rare.

Especially the water tribe, the era of several gods has passed, Anatole does not remember that there was a time when the water tribe participated, the water tribe has always lived in the ocean, and the human well water does not interfere with the river water, and the two sides have not had much conflict, and they are wary of each other.

The Hagmar are extremely rare creatures, rare in a hundred years, but Ma Wei can ask them to come forward and drag himself, how much energy is this?

What is even more unacceptable to Anatole is that he has missed such an important human being!

If he knew that Ma Wei had such a huge amount of energy, he would have to get the other party, even if it was by violent means!

Now it's okay, not to mention being run away by the other party, there is a high probability that the two sides have formed a bond, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?!

"Lord God, do you want to order a pursuit?" Archbishop Fai asked: "Maybe it's too late to chase now"

"How long have they been gone?"

"Less than two hours."

Two hours!

No matter how fast the giant wolf is, it is impossible to leave the territory of the empire in two hours!

If you catch up now, you may be able to stop the giant wolf before it leaves the Empire's borders.

As long as you stop the giant wolf, there is a high chance that you can meet Nicholas!

When the time comes.

You'll be able to get him back with you!

"In which direction did they go?"

"Northwest!"

Anatole was just about to leave, when he suddenly saw a carriage parked in front of the Palace of Versailles, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but it was a royal carriage, and it was the current emperor of the empire - Napoleon Bonaparte who got off the car!

Looking at each other, Anatole was the first to speak: "What are you doing here?" As I said, you are in charge of the kingdom and I am in charge of the church, and you just need to take care of the kingdom. ”

"I came for the Kingdom."

Napoleon, who had cleared out the rebels, took power again, he looked Anatole in the eye, and said in an equal posture and tone: "I have heard what happened in Versailles, you can't continue to pursue Felix and them, this is for the sake of the kingdom and for the sake of the church." ”

"Why?"

"Because we've lost the best and last chance." Napoleon said: "I have communicated with Nicholas, and I know his character better, judging from the fact that he did not hesitate to ask for the help of transcendent beings to leave the Empire, he will not obey the Church, Nicholas does not belong to the Empire, does not belong to us, this point, you should also be aware of this." ”

"Nicholas has made up his mind, even if you force him to stay, it is impossible to get his support, but will have a grudge with the Goddess of Fate Church, how many years has the Hundred Years War between the Empire and the Kingdom of Windsor ended? If the war is resumed, it will only make the northern kingdoms of Frederick and Romanov take advantage of the loopholes! ”

"Anatol, the fate of the empire is now in your hands, if you insist on pursuing it, you will bury the last chance for the empire to rise!"

Napoleon's words were eloquent, constantly emphasizing the empire and the Church, which made Anatole a little puzzled: "You say that the last chance for the rise of the empire . What does that mean? ”

"The Bonaparte Empire now has a complete industrial base, education, army, medical and other systems, and this is the time for us to take off! At this juncture, if we start a war with the Kingdom of Windsor, it will inevitably destroy the domestic industrial base! This war is pointless and should be avoided! ”

Napoleon said in a deep voice: "The Kingdom of Windsor has risen, and there is only one way to curb their momentum, and that is to control the Central Continent and isolate the island where the Kingdom of Windsor is located!" ”

"To accomplish this, our next strategic target should be the rising Kingdom of Frederick, not the Kingdom of Windsor! The Kingdom of Frederick will soon complete the annexation of the land, and this is our last chance! ”

"Frederick's Kingdom" Anatole frowned, "You want to do something to Frederick's Kingdom?" That's a kingdom controlled by the Cult of Judgment, and I can't beat Seekula, so it's better to give up this hard bone. ”

"To control a kingdom, you don't have to use force!" Napoleon said word for word: "The origin of war lies in interests, and the essence of interests is wealth!" What is wealth? Currency, economy! ”

"As long as we can control the economic lifeblood of Frederick's kingdom, we can force them to submit to the Empire!"

"I said I couldn't beat Seeculla." Anatole took a deep breath: "You don't know Seecula's character, he has a very short temper, but he doesn't have any brains, he provokes him, and he dares to call him the next day."

"No matter how strong Seakula is, he can't be a match for a few of your gods." Napoleon said: "The experience of being defeated by the Allies has taught me that no matter how powerful you are, you will eventually fail because of your conceit!" I have waged economic warfare to halt the expansion of Frederick's kingdom! ”

"They are pursuing militarism, and once they stop expanding and embark on the capital route, the cake that originally belonged to the militaristic regime will be divided by capital! At that time, a big war is inevitable! ”

"As long as the kingdom of Frederick provokes a war, we can unite other countries, the Church to defeat it, and then . Split it! Let it never turn over! ”
