Chapter 148: The Human Standpoint
Bright Empire Yanjing Holy Light City, Bright Holy See Cathedral.
Pope Auston has been upset lately. Just yesterday, he received news that a large number of dragons on Dragon Island had suddenly landed in the Great Forest of the Demon Domain, and were heading towards the east, looking in the direction, it was the direction of the Mechanical Empire.
Nearly 10,000 years ago, the dragons had a war with humans, and at that time, the Holy See of Light was the backbone of mankind. Because of this, the dragon clan formed a hatred with the Holy See of Light.
Although it is said that after 10,000 years, this hatred has gradually faded. However, Pope Auston knew that each generation of the Great Patriarch of the Dragon Clan was obsessed with developing the strength of the Dragon Clan and regaining the living space that belonged to them in the Limec Continent.
Therefore, after receiving the news of the landing of a large number of dragons, Auston's mood was even better than that of Zhang Feng. Find Master Yoda the Ascetic right away.
Master Yoda took the trouble to make a personal trip and brought back the bad news - the number of dragons was as high as tens of thousands!
"10,000 dragons! For thousands of years, we didn't know anything about Dragon Island, and the other party has grown to 10,000 dragons, such a huge number!" Pope Auston shook his head with a wry smile.
"I think when the dragons fought with me and humans, it was only 10,000 heads. Master Yoda nodded.
"Is it just to destroy the Machine Empire when the 10,000-headed dragon of Dragon Island landed from the Great Forest of the Demon Domain?"
"The mechanical empire has destroyed the 500 dragons of the dragon clan, which has already violated the taboo of the dragon island. With the narrow grudge mentality of those dragons, they will never let go of the mechanical empire. However, they dispatched 10,000 dragons, and I am afraid that after destroying the mechanical empire, they will take the opportunity to cause trouble and fight against our humans. This will be an inevitable catastrophe for humanity. Master Yoda's tone was also worried.
"Then what do you mean, Master Yoda, what should we, the Bright See, do in this calamity?" asked Pope Auston.
"A battle between us and the dragon clan is inevitable, and there can be no fluke mentality on this point! The other party has already landed on the Limek Continent, and there is absolutely no reason for him to retreat. The only way to do this is to show us the strength of our humanity and to make them realize that we are strong and inviolable. Let them know that if they want to take the living space of our human beings, they will pay the price of blood, and when they feel that the price is not commensurate with the reward, the dragons will stop. Remember, show our greatest power, that's the most important thing!" Master Yoda emphasized.
"Auston remembers, Master Yoda. Show us our power. So, Master Yoda, what are we going to do with the Machine Empire? It's a member of my humanity, but it comes from a mysterious origin. Alston didn't know if he should send troops to help him. Auston spoke in a respectful tone, and in front of Master Yoda the Ascetic, there was no papal arrogance.
"The origins of the Machine Empire are too mysterious. I, Yoda, have spent nearly two hundred years traveling around the continent since I was young. I have been to the Raynal Empire, and I have also been to the Great Forest of the Demon Domain in the Southern Region of Reynal, and I have been practicing there for more than twenty years. If that mechanical empire had existed for a long time, I don't believe that in my opinion, more than twenty years would have gone unnoticed......"
At this point, Yoda the Ascetic paused, and then continued:
"I very much hope that the Empire of Machines will be part of my human side. However, I don't believe any human being is strong enough to create so many mechanical golems. My Holy See of Light has some of the best puppeteers in the human race, and His Holiness Pope Auston should know very well how many mechanical golems they can control at most.
Yoda the Ascetic asked rhetorically.
"This ...... Among the puppeteers I know, the most powerful puppet that can be made is Master Bruno's Cobir, which is a ninth-level mid-level puppet, which is already very remarkable!The largest number of puppets that can control is Master Abt, who can control 1,000 fifth-level mechanical puppets at the same time, which is equivalent to an army that is not afraid of death, which is very great!" Pope Auston replied.
"Then do you know that Wang Zhang Feng, the great general of the Machine Empire, almost all of the armies of the Machine Empire are controlled by him alone?Moreover, just a few days ago, at an underground auction at the Gaffle Auction House, one of Zhang Feng's Saint-Order mechanical puppets appeared and killed Master Bruno's beloved Cobir in one move?"
"What? Are these things true? I've only heard about them!" The subordinate reported it, and I thought it was a fallacy caused by the intelligence officer's lack of seriousness......" Alston was taken aback.
"Being in a high position for many years has blinded you. The Holy Order Mechanical Golem, that is the existence of legends, it is said that when the God of Light often showed miracles, there were still Holy Order mechanical puppets on the Rimec Continent, but now that god-like production technology has long been lost...... It's a sign that the Machine Empire is too mysterious. There is no way we could risk assisting them in their attack on Dragon Island. Maybe in the end, the Machine Empire and us humans will be friends and foes, and Pope Auston must be prepared. Yoda the Ascetic spoke eloquently.
"Thank you, Master! Dragons are our enemies, and the Machine Empire is not our friend. When the two of them go to war, we just have to watch = from the sidelines. When Dragon Island destroys the Mechanical Empire, its strength will definitely be damaged, and at that time, it will be the time for our Bright Sect to take action. Alston said humbly.
"Hey, I hope the Mechanical Empire doesn't collapse at the touch of a button!10,000 dragons, if you put this pressure on our human shoulders, the burden will be too heavy! The dragon clan is coming, this is a disaster for the entire human race, not a disaster for our Holy See of Light, to mobilize all countries to participate in the war. The God of Light has not performed miracles for thousands of years, and the faith of the Church depends entirely on the power of the Holy See to maintain it. If the power of our Light Sect is damaged, we can't say it, and those chickens and mice will all jump out! The Limec Continent shrouded in the belief of the God of Light is the real Limec Continent. Losing the faith of the God of Light, the majesty of the Holy See is swept to the ground, and the Limec Continent is not to be done! The stakes are at stake, His Holiness Pope Auston must grasp it clearly!"
"Auston understands! ”
"Hey, I hope that after surviving this catastrophe, the glory of my Holy See of Light will still be sacred!" Yoda the Ascetic sighed and disappeared in place.
Pope Auston thought for a moment, and immediately conveyed the order:
"Order, all the Rose Knights will return to defend the city of Xsera, and without an order from the Holy See, they are not allowed to take the initiative to fight the dragons. Of course, if the dragons launch an attack on the city of Xsera, you are welcome and fight back immediately!"
"Immediately send an edict to the Pope, order the countries of the mainland, let them dispatch their most elite legions, and at the cost of magic crystals, rush to the city of Xsera, an important city on the western border of the former Raynal Empire, as quickly as possible. Now we have reached a critical moment of life and death. If any country does not send its most elite legions, or if it stalls on the road and does not arrive in time, it will be the public enemy of our humanity. I, Auston, will definitely mobilize the power of humanity to denounce and attack it!
"Order the Bright Knights of the Bright Empire, the Imperial Magician Column, and the Guardian Knights of the Holy See of the Bright Empire to immediately reorganize their troops, set off tomorrow, and rush to the former Resera Empire's western border town of Xsera City as quickly as possible, and join the Rose Knights to prepare for a decisive battle with the Dragons. ”
The Holy See of Light has the absolute right to speak on the Limec Continent. Even in the Empire of Light, many remote countryside only know that there is Pope Auston, but they don't know that there is an emperor of the Empire of Light.
In the name of worshipping the God of Light, every year the leaders of all the powerful human countries come to the Holy City of Light to receive the teachings of the Holy See of Light.
Most of the humans on the Limek continent are believers in the God of Light.
As soon as the papal edicts of the Holy See of Light are issued, everyone, including the monarchs of various countries, must unconditionally accept the execution, otherwise, be prepared to bear the wrath of the Holy See of Light!
Since the God of Light has rarely performed miracles for thousands of years, the majesty of the Holy See of Light has been greatly reduced. And the Holy See of Light has not issued a papal edict to the monarchs of various countries for decades.
However, as soon as the papal decree was issued, there was no resistance.
Needless to say, the Empire of Light, a country founded on the Holy See, had no idea of disobeying the edict of the Holy See of Light, and the army was the first to set off.
And when the edicts were transmitted to other countries, they were also implemented.
The Stembo Empire is a powerful empire located in the west of the continent of Limec, and it is also the empire that is least influenced by the Holy See of Light. If it is said that sixty or seventy percent of the population of the whole Limec continent believes in the God of Light, then the Stein Po Empire is definitely a country that is lagging behind, because here, the population who believes in the God of Light only accounts for about 20% of the total population of the country.
Because of this, the Stembo Empire has become the country with the toughest tone in the face of the Holy See of Light.
However, the Emperor of the Stembo Empire did not hesitate too much, and immediately decided to dispatch the Stempo Royal Knights, the most elite of the empire, to participate in the battle against the dragons.
"I can disobey the Pope's edict, but the interests of the country cannot be violated! If the dragons win the war, our powerful countries will definitely become the targets of those big lizards. When the time comes, the entire Limec Continent will become the world of the big lizard, and my royal family may become the soul slave of the big lizard! This is absolutely intolerable! The Royal Knights are dispatched! Fight for the honor of the royal family of our Stein Empire!"
