Chapter 19: Withdrawal of Troops

The holy light in the sky shone brightly, and the evil qi that soared into the sky was directly suppressed.

The originally terrifying and eerie land of the cursed land, bathed in holy light, soon regained its former peace.

"The light forbidden spell shines brightly!"

Hudson, who knew the goods, recognized the magic at once.

Unlike ordinary forbidden spells, the Holy Light is not lethal to ordinary people, but it has a very strong restraint effect on dark forces.

The surface world did not react, but the underground world was already full of mourning.

The blow came so suddenly, and the dark elves who attacked the enchantment never imagined that the enemy's attack could actually fall through the seal!

In a short period of time, hundreds of dark elves were reduced to ashes under the holy light.

There were even more wounded, and none of them that were touched by the light were intact.

"Quickly retreat and get out of the enemy's range!"

The Dark Elf General reacted very quickly and gave the order to retreat as soon as possible, but disaster still happened.

In a short period of effort, hundreds of dark elves spontaneously ignited on the spot.

A terrifying scene, all the frightened dark elves hurriedly retreated. They're just belligerent, not tired.

"Venerable Mayer, what kind of means is this enemy?"

The scene in front of him has surpassed the cognition of the dark elf general, and he can only pin his hope on the knowledgeable powerhouse of the clan.

"I don't know!

It may be a new forbidden spell made by the race above, projected through the seal, and with such a strong power, I am afraid it is extraordinary.

It seems that with our departure, the major races above are not idle, and are still studying the means of targeting.

Alright Christa, I can't blame you for today's incident, I'll speak for you on the Queen's side.

Pause the attack and wait until you find a response before taking action. ”

Venerable Mayer said impatiently.

The powerhouse of the Sanctuary has a high right to speak anywhere. In the Inner Earth, this disparity in status is even more pronounced.

They are all people who have lived for hundreds of years, and the little careful thinking of Krista, Venerable Mayer can see at a glance.

But I don't have time to worry about it now. Having spent tens of thousands of years in the Inner Earth, the Dark Elves knew nothing about the outside world.

The frustration suffered before the seal entrance was opened, which was obviously not a good thing.

Everyone is developing, and the products of the terrestrial world are more abundant, who knows how far it has developed now?

Of course, Inner Earth also has its own advantages.

For example, mineral resources are abundant.

Many precious minerals that are rarely seen in the outside world are found everywhere here.

Looking at the weapons and armor of the dark elf soldiers, you can know that all of them are high-quality products, and only the noble lords are qualified to equip them in the outside world.

However, compared with the abundant resources of the outside world, these advantages are not obvious.

If it weren't for peeking into the abundant resources of the outside world, the races of the Inner Earth would not have the obsession to seize the land under the sun.

"Thank you, Venerable!"

……

The enemy stopped attacking, the seal stabilized for the time being, and the people below had begun to cheer, but the faces of the high-ranking people were ugly.

"Marshal, we don't know much about the Inner World, but judging from the momentum of the enemy's attack on the seal, it is by no means easy.

The shock just now can only suspend the enemy's offensive. When the enemy reacts, it will have no effect. ”

Patriarch Taryn said with a solemn expression.

The forbidden spell just now was jointly cast by the Kingdom Priests. Aside from not using an artifact, it's almost the strongest attack.

How much of a role it can play, no one knows.

Without harming the seal, many violent attacks cannot be used.

The purpose of everyone coming here this time is to bless the seal, not to break the seal.

"Patriarch, it's good enough to be able to deter the enemy.

With a little more buffer, we can also prepare some more means.

Xueyue Lake Underground Palace, I think everyone should be familiar with it. In fact, the complete seal should be based on the underground palace as the hub.

The means prepared by the ancestors are still very sufficient.

If it weren't for the fact that the dungeon had not been maintained for a long time, when the seal was broken, it would be the day when the water from the Snow Moon Lake poured into the inner world.

Rearranging the seals, with our strength is still insufficient. However, there is still hope for repairing the original broken seal.

The worst outcome is nothing more than the breaking of the seal, leading the water of the Snow Moon Lake to impact the inner terrestrial race! ”

They are all sincere, and Hudson has high respect for the ancestors who sealed the Inner World.

The enemy went to great lengths to break the seal, but when the seal was opened, they were greeted by an ocean.

It's hard to imagine how broken the heart will be.

After listening to Hudson's explanation, everyone showed expressions of disbelief.

If Xueyue Lake is part of the seal, then the origin of this huge lake may not be as simple as a natural formation.

Creating a lake with manpower is not a difficult task for the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm.

But if you want to create a Snow Moon Lake, it is not simple.

Having Maxim and Bear Stearns do it would keep them busy for decades.

There is no doubt that this is not possible.

Although the lifespan of the powerhouse of the Holy Domain is long, it is impossible for him to squander it like this. It is even more impossible for ordinary people to excavate, such a large amount of earthwork can build a mountain.

The only explanation is that the people involved in the creation of the lake are very strong.

The road to the strong never ends.

In the continent of Aslanth, as long as you are strong enough, anything is possible.

"Marshal, the Cursed Land is too big, and any place could be the entrance to the center of the earth.

It's not easy to mobilize the lake!

And this is still a one-time method, even if the flood destroys the enemy's vanguard, the follow-up problem is still not solved.

Once the enemy has eased up, war is inevitable.

Until the orcs are dealt with, the kingdom should no longer provoke strong enemies. The best choice for now is to seal these demons first. ”

Patriarch Taryn shook his head and said.

Religious leaders do not mean that they do not know how to fight.

In the Alpha Kingdom, the probability of becoming a high-ranking member of the kingdom is almost zero if you have not been on the battlefield.

The highly effective mechanism of reckless military force is based on the premise of high-level knowledge of soldiers. If you put a few military novices on it, there will be chaos immediately.

Before becoming the religious leader of the kingdom, Patriarch Tyran also served in the army, and even made a lot of military achievements, but he participated as a clergyman.

It was by knowing the real situation in the kingdom that he was able to quickly conclude that the kingdom could not fight on multiple fronts!

"While the enemy is stunned, let's start repairing the seal first!

Send someone to inform little Caesar and ask him to invite the masters of the Five Nations Alliance to come over and help. ”

Directly instructing the king to do things is a proper rebellion.

But it was the only saint in the kingdom who spoke, so that was a different matter.

Frankly speaking, Hudson is also very curious about the identity of this person, but it is a pity that the royal family hides it tightly.

Except for the identity of the saints, everything else is kept secret. With Hudson's strength in the kingdom, he was unable to find out where this man came from.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this person has a close relationship with the royal family.

The saints are not worldly and, in theory, have little influence on Kingdom politics.

In fact, all people have selfish intentions, and saints are no exception.

In addition to the supremacy of the gods, they also have their own things to care about.

It's just that compared with ordinary people, their moral cultivation is higher and their pursuit is more lofty.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

I hadn't paid much attention to it before, and now Hudson realized that something was wrong.

The three people who took the initiative to expose the identity of the Sanctuary in the kingdom all had a close relationship with the royal family, and the other big families in the country did not move, which was very abnormal.

Although it is difficult to break through the Sanctuary, it also needs to consider the special circumstances of the Alpha Kingdom.

All the strong are killed from the battlefield, and there is not a single flower that blooms in the greenhouse.

Compared to ordinary eighth-order powerhouses, the probability of them being able to break through is much higher.

Even if it's bad luck, there are so many strong people in the aristocratic camp that they won't be wiped out.

When any problem cannot be explained, after putting on "interests", it suddenly becomes reasonable.

Hiding strength is also the way for old nobles to survive.

It is rare to have him, the marshal of the kingdom who is in the limelight, to attract the attention of the royal family, and everyone will naturally not come out to steal the limelight at such a time.

With less attention, you can have more freedom.

They are all old foxes, who can make a fortune in a muffled voice, and they will definitely not be publicized.

If there was a choice, Hudson also wanted to keep the Coslow family low-key, but unfortunately this was not possible.

Compared with these old aristocrats, he is a proper entrepreneurial generation, and he is still the most successful one.

Everywhere you go, you are in the sight of the outside world, and you want to keep a low profile and fade out of everyone's sight, unless you can find one that can attract the limelight more.

However, there is a limit to this concealment. When something happens, you can't hide it.

There are still some masters in each family. It is unreasonable not to show up when the kingdom is called.

This is also an opportunity to explore the bottom!

For Hudson, as long as he is not his own enemy, the more the Sacred Realm masters, the better.

The greater the number of masters on each side, the stronger the kingdom will be, and the higher the probability that the Snow Moon Leader will survive the crisis.

threats, that's the future. Until the external enemy is eliminated, infighting will not become the mainstream.

Even if there are changes in the country, the positions of the Snow Moon Collar and the Mountain Collar are naturally outside the storm whirlpool.

……

The Alpha Kingdom is doing its best to bless the seal, and the negotiations that took place in the Papal States are also coming to an end.

The sudden acceleration of the progress of the negotiations is not because the sincerity of the three parties has increased, but because the benefits they want have already been pocketed by the two major powers.

Thanks to the withdrawal of various countries, the vacated maritime capacity has directly cheapened the two countries.

Transportation capacity has increased, large quantities of booty have been brought back to the country, and the looted population has gradually approached the limit of what the two countries can relocate.

There is no shortage of land, and there is a place to settle in the Papal States simply from the land.

The key to the problem is not to grab people, but to resettle them later.

The power of the nobility is not unlimited, and if it were not for the rich spoils of war, it would have been impossible to hold on.

All the way to the present, the aristocratic officers who participated in the operation have long earned a lot of money.

In the market where a large amount of war booty is flowing, even the price of arms in the international market has fallen by 20 percent against the trend.

You must know that the current continent of Aslant is not very peaceful, and the smoke of gunpowder fills the entire continent. At a time when the price of arms was supposed to rise wildly, it fell instead of rising.

The situation is similar for all other types of goods, as long as the items that exist on a large scale in the loot are hammered in price.

Falling prices abound, and many goods are not accepted even if they are lowered, and there is no such strong purchasing power in the market at all.

If this situation continues, next year's dividends from the Development Bank of the Near East will be another pile of unsalable commodities.

The income from the robbery has declined, and everyone's enthusiasm for robbery has slowly subsided.

The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen!

As long as the internal turmoil can be stabilized, it will be difficult to crush the Holy See at once due to external turmoil.

After all, it is the oldest force in the inheritance of the human race, and no one knows how many hole cards the Holy See has.

Neither the Alpha Kingdom nor the Frankish Kingdom wanted to push them into a hurry.

If people are really desperate and want to pull them on the road together, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Even if there is hatred, you can hold it in your heart first. Secretly driving behind the scenes, slowly watching the decline of the Holy See can also relieve anger.

This war has seriously overdrawn the future of the Holy See. The loss of the population of the army is secondary, the key is that there is no successor.

At least in the midst of the war, there were no particularly dazzling young talents, and there were only endless internal factions.

On the Holy Mountain, he flipped over the draft of the armistice agreement in his hand, and Pius VII threw it directly to the ground.

"It's still so aggressive, it's just too deceitful!"

The shouting on his lips is terrible, but deep in his heart he shelters the seventh world without the slightest wave. The performance at the moment is just for the outside world to see.

Secret negotiations are all about secrecy. Naturally, the fewer people who know, the better, how can anyone say things with a big grin.

There is only one truth, Pius VII didn't want to bear the infamy of losing power and humiliating the religion, so he simply played a procrastination decision.

When the enemy has grabbed enough, he will naturally pack up his things and leave. When the enemy has run away with the army, jump out and announce the reconquest.

They resisted with great difficulty throughout the whole process, did not make any compromises with the enemy, and did not sign a treaty to betray the Holy See.

Full marks for political properness!

With an insight into the truth, everyone naturally has to cooperate with the performance. Responsibility is a thing, if you can not carry the blame, it must be good not to carry it.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger!

In any case, compared with the previous negotiations, the concessions made by the enemy this time are still much larger.

If you grind it again, you may be able to have an unexpected harvest! ”

Bishop Monteson's words, the crowd is no longer able to complain. The negotiation is meritorious, but it is pure nonsense. As early as two months ago, negotiations between the two sides reached a dead end.

Now the representatives of the two sides are also putting on a show, and they are saying in the name of "working for world peace."

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"The Franks have withdrawn!"

"It is said that there is an internal change in the Frankish Empire, and it is necessary to transfer some troops from the front line back to stabilize the situation in my hometown!"
