-40- Invasion
When Charlotte woke up again, it was two days later.
gave a hundred pieces of bloodline power in one breath, even if she was already a demigod, she was not lightly tired, and it took two days and two nights of sleep to recover.
After washing up, finishing breakfast, and taking care of two days of official business in place of "Lilith", Charlotte went to the training ground in the city.
On the training ground, Blood Clan warriors in different costumes are exercising.
After seeing Charlotte, they stopped their movements and stood up excitedly to salute:
"Lord Lilith!"
"Good morning, Lilith-sama!"
Charlotte nodded in greeting, her gaze swept over the Blood Clan warriors who had awakened earlier than her, and nodded secretly in her heart.
Bloodline power is indeed a supreme source of power for the bloodline.
After being bestowed by her bloodline, and after a day or two of slumber, the strength of these blood warriors has almost reached the level of the blazing sun.
And even if it is not reached, it is the peak of the silver moon, and it is only one step away from breaking through, and it must be possible to naturally break through the obstacle in the dark after some battles.
Of course, this is also because while Charlotte gives the power of the bloodline, she also activates the inherent ability of the blood canon [Bloodline Gift].
Correspondingly, the blood divine power consumed is also quite a lot.
"Think of it as an investment in the next conquest of the Old Gods and the 'good relationship' with the future high-level of the Blood Clan."
Charlotte said secretly in her heart.
A hundred of them, given enough time, are at least Blazing Sun transcendentals......
This force, if it were placed in the era of the later generations, would be enough for any force to feel the shock.
After all, even if it was one of the top powerhouses on the continent like the Crescent Moon Kingdom, there were far fewer Blazing Sun-level powerhouses that could be directly mobilized by the authorities.
However, if it is placed in the era that Charlotte travels through, although this force is strong, it is not enough to crush it.
This era is, after all, the age of mythology.
The concentration of magic and the activity of the elements in the world far exceeded that of the later generations, and the number of transcendents and gods was also quite exaggerated.
On the whole, Charlotte's improvement in the extraordinary combat power of the Free City-State Alliance this time only makes it possible for the city-states to take the initiative to counterattack.
Of course, that's enough.
"Lord Saviour, you are here!"
A familiar voice came, attracting Charlotte's attention.
Charlotte looked at the Third Legion, and saw Bardock, the commander of the Third Army, hurrying over.
Behind him, there was also a dusty Blood Clan warrior, whose strength was at the level of Silver Moon, and his expression was a little eager.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she looked at the panting Blood Clan warrior:
"What's going on?"
"Lord Lilith, the forces of the Cult of the Evil God launched an attack on our border fortress a day ago, and now the fortress has been surrounded, Lord Harald is leading the defenders to resist, but the situation is quite dangerous, and the support of the Alliance army is urgently needed!"
The Blood Warrior reported.
"How many enemy troops are there?"
Charlotte asked.
"At least ten thousand, I'm afraid the number of transcendents is more than three thousand! Leading the army is the god of the secret pact and the god of war! They summoned the incarnation of the gods, directly destroyed several elven towers we were building, and plundered, slaughtered, and sacrificed several of our villages! ”
The Blood Warrior said hatefully.
Charlotte frowned slightly and looked at Bardock:
"What's going on? Didn't it be reported the other day that they do not have the strength to go to war against us for the time being? ”
"It should be the news that you have given the power of the bloodline to spread, it is said that the Old God Order has used the power of the gods to forcibly promote a large number of transcendent believers, I am afraid that it intends to invade while you are weak!"
Bardock said in a deep voice.
Invade while I'm weak?
Charlotte had a strange expression.
Ahh
She gave a hundred bloodlines in one breath, which is not a small consumption, and she slept for two days just by sleeping, but if you say "weak", it is far from counting, right?
However, the thought only flickered.
Charlotte quickly figured out why the Order of the Old Gods thought she was "weak."
Besides, if Lilith herself did this bloodline gift, the cost would definitely be greater than Charlotte's.
According to Charlotte's memories of the lenses she browsed, Lilith had only just become a demigod at this time, and although she had killed the gods of abomination and distortion, and even captured some of the other party's power, she herself had suffered a lot of damage.
In the information that Charlotte learned in advance, Lilith decided to carry out this "personal guard selection" because of her limited strength.
Lilith's bloodline comes from Charlotte, although she has become a demigod, she does not have the "Blood Sacred Codex", she has not transformed into a "True Ancestor" level bloodline like Charlotte, at best, she is equivalent to a prince in later generations.
In this case, the same is to give the power of the bloodline, and to achieve the same effect, Lilith needs to give far more than Charlotte needs to give.
And to raise a hundred blood warriors in one go, if it was Lilith, I am afraid that she would have collapsed a long time ago, not like Charlotte who was refreshed after a good night's sleep.
"Lord Saviour, the situation has changed, since the other party has used the power of God to enhance the transcendent believers, I am afraid that our counterattack plan will be delayed!"
"Not only that, but I'm afraid we don't have time to familiarize everyone with the power anymore, it is said that this time the Old Gods have raised more than 2,000 'sacrificial legions', all of whom are the most fanatical madmen! If they can't be stopped in time, the villages and towns in the northern region will inevitably suffer a devastating blow! ”
"We don't have time to gather the army, and the teleportation circle of the elves can't support large-scale teleportation, if we want to stop them, we must let the soldiers of the second awakening rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to support!"
Bardock gritted his teeth.
The so-called transcendent believers who use the power of God to ascend are, to put it bluntly, the "priests" who are forcibly promoted by divine power.
Charlotte was no stranger to this, having seen it in the armies of the gods of abomination and aberration during her second crossing.
This method is somewhat similar to Charlotte's bloodline bestowing, but the essence is completely different.
Charlotte's bloodline grant is to enhance the target's bloodline potential from the source, thereby strengthening the other's supernatural powers, but the old gods are brutally infusing the diluted divine power into the believer's body.
Although this practice can make believers become transcendent and gain great power in the short term, it is actually a practice of treating believers as "consumables of war".
Divine power is far from being able to withstand mortals who have not undergone "bloodline adjustment", even if it is diluted divine power, it is "poison" for mortals.
Transcendents who rely on the enhancement of divine power, from the moment their strength skyrockets, their lives fall into a countdown, like fireworks that ignite fireworks.
It is also for this reason that the Alliance of Free City-States refers to these cultists as sacrifices as "sacrificial legions".
Of course, the Old Gods, who see it as a "consumable", won't care about that, as long as they can win before the fireworks fade away, everything is worth it.
It is also for this reason that Bardock said that the counteroffensive plan should be postponed.
In the face of these "fanatics" whose lives are in a countdown, rash attack will cause great casualties to their own side, and the correct way is to defend with all their might, as long as they wait for the opponent to "die".
After thinking about it, Charlotte ordered:
"Tell me, all the warriors who have passed the second awakening will gather and go with me to support."
"You? Are you going too? This must not be! ”
Bardock's face changed and he persuaded.
"Oh? Why can't I? ”
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
Bardock says:
"You are a demigod, the town of the city-state alliance, and since you killed Adora, all forces have been staring at you!"
"Now the situation in Northern Xinjiang is different from before, all parties have mythical forces behind them, this time the raid of the Old God Sect is so fast and crazy, it is obviously aimed at you!"
"There is news that the Order of the God of Secret Pact has close contacts with several old gods, and it is very likely that they have reached a cooperation, you have just given the power of the bloodline, and the injuries from the previous battle with Adora have not healed, if you go on it in person at this time, you will definitely be in danger!"
Listening to Bardock's words, Charlotte shook her head:
"Since the Old Gods are likely to unite, then I need to take action even more, or ...... Do you think you can win a war with just the army and ordinary transcendents? ”
As she spoke, she smiled again and said:
"Not to mention...... Who told you that I'm in a weak state now? ”
After speaking, a crimson glow bloomed on Charlotte.
The vicissitudes of life rose from her, causing all the blood clans to feel the warmth and awe of the bloodline slowly rising.
Looking at Charlotte, with silver hair flying, feeling her unfathomable divine power and power, Bardock could only feel his soul tremble.
His eyes widened instantly, and he suddenly became excited:
"Could it be that your power ...... Your power ......"
"Inform me, all the soldiers who have awakened for the second time quickly assemble and go out with me, and the battlefield is ...... It is also the place where they can adapt to the power of their own bloodline the fastest. ”
Charlotte said.
"Honorable ...... Yes, sir. ”
Bardock bowed respectfully.
"Another ......"
Charlotte continued:
"The plan of the expedition remains unchanged, and the army continues to build."
"The plan for the expedition remains the same?"
Bardock was stunned.
But looking at Charlotte's calm and serious expression, he finally nodded and continued:
"Respectfully...... Your commands. ”
……
North of the Free City-State Alliance, Blackwater Village.
Billowing smoke obscured the sky, and the low villages were already in flames.
Seven or eight children snuggled together, their faces terrified as they watched the cultists shiver as they got closer and closer.
In front of the child, a young girl covered in blood was holding a steel sword, confronting the cultists of the evil gods who had gradually surrounded them.
She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fiery red hair, and her skirt and armor had long been stained red with blood, but her scarlet eyes were full of determination.
In front of her, there were already seven or eight fallen cultists, and the cultists who surrounded her did not dare to step forward and continue to fight her for a while.
Until the cultist's army parted on both sides, a priest of the Old Gods in a high-ranking witch sacrifice robe stepped out:
"It is said that the warriors of the Dependent Clans awakened by the Alliance of Free City-States are stronger than the other, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."
"Strange Lady of the Family, you are a true warrior, I am the priestess of the god of the secret pact, can I know your name?"
"Rowena."
The red-haired girl took a deep breath and raised the long sword in her hand again:
"You can call me...... Rowena. ”
——
Happy New Year to everyone!
