In the city of oil, in a laboratory on the manor, Lynn pondered and laid out the formula, and before she knew it, the night had passed, and it was not until the morning that her thoughts were broken by a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lynn rubbed her head, her mind gradually freed from the large number of formulas, and looked at the door.

"Lord Dean," said Peirce, who walked through the door.

"What's the matter?" Lynn asked.

"It's news from within the Empire, Speaker Harrov asked me to ask what you mean." Peirce said hesitantly.

"Empire?"

Lynn couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and many speculations flashed through her mind.

It's not like the Holy See is attacking again, right?

If that happens, it proves that Ella has found a way to crack the nuclear explosion, which is undoubtedly the worst news.

Fortunately, Peirce quickly explained that it was not the Holy See that attacked, but the propaganda of priests and bishops within the empire that led to the most terrifying witch hunt in history!

Originally, although wizards were hunted down in the empire and were not welcomed, as long as they did not reveal their magic, did not engage in any evil human research, or sensational deeds such as sacrifices, capable wizards could still barely survive.

The better ones will cooperate with the local nobles to help them deal with some shady things, and almost like his mentor Coru, he will engage in an identity fool some rich apprentices to support his magic research.

However, with the spread of apocalypticism, believers and ordinary people became increasingly afraid of wizards, and the nobles no longer dared to take huge risks to continue to cooperate, which led to a large number of wizards hiding in the shadows being dug up.

According to the spies, there have been dozens of massacres of wizards in the West alone.

"Now that many wizards are preparing to flee to the kingdom, the Westside has even formed a wizarding mutual aid organization, and the council is considering whether to send an airship to meet them." Peirce told the truth all the news he had heard.

Lynn hesitated for a moment and sent the airship into the Empire, which was undoubtedly a very dangerous move!

They and the Holy See are still at war, but the other side has no intention of counterattacking on a large scale for nearly half a month, and has been inclined to a temporary truce.

This is obviously a deterrent established by the Great Nuclear Explosion Technique, which makes the Holy See a little jealous, and does not dare to launch an attack without knowing their details.

As for the parliament, it is the same, now he only has the hole card of nuclear explosion in his hand, and the reserves of uranium-235 can only be used for one more nuclear explosion magic, and cannot be easily used.

And the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for them, the mining of uranium ore on the one hand, and the preparation for war and the promotion of legends on the other.

Sending airships into the country now is likely to anger the Holy See and directly lead to the outbreak of a new round of war.

"Lord Dean, do you want to reject this bill?" Alok asked cautiously.

Lynn's choice is undoubtedly very crucial, although the vast majority of councillors now believe that they need to send someone to ask for help, but if the dean insists on opposing it, this bill will most likely not pass.

After all, Lynn, who was able to unleash a nuclear explosion and kill the incarnation of a pseudo-god, had become a trump card for wizards, and his words were sometimes even more critical than the Speaker.

"Let's save it!" Lynn thought for a moment and made a decision. "If we don't even dare to enter the country, the Holy See will only think that we are bluffing."

"This may be a temptation from the other party, and we must fight back!" Lynn said categorically.

"Okay!" Ellock was overjoyed and immediately reported it.

As an enterprising wizard, he naturally agrees with the Holy See that dares to slaughter wizards.

After receiving Lynn's affirmative reply, the council did not delay any longer, and immediately sent more than 20 airships, escorted by new fighters, to the rescue of the empire immediately!

……

At noon, in the western part of the empire, a dense forest was crowded with people, screaming, wailing and fighting.

"Kill these demons, the sowers of the dooms......"

The leading archbishop shouted loudly, and a large number of knights beside him had already wound their crossbow arrows, and for a moment a fierce rain of arrows appeared in the dense forest.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the spell, or shot into the trunks and bushes, but it was not all fruitless, and a small apprentice could not dodge, and was pierced through the back by several arrows, and the whole person rolled to the ground, and disappeared in an instant.

"Amon!" The older witch was stunned, and the flames around her surged out, condensing into several fireballs that sped out with a piercing scream.

The violent explosion tore more than a dozen knights in front of them, but the next moment, more crossbow arrows flew out from the smoke and fire, and the holy light blast unleashed by the three bishops broke through the witch's protections, blasting it into a cloud of blood mist.

Seeing the sacrifice of the official wizard, unable to even block the other party's attack a little, the fleeing wizards were terrified.

The continuous rain of arrows continued, probably because they were afraid of the powerful and strange sorcery of the wizards, and the knights did not come forward to fight, but continued to use their crossbows to consume their magic from a distance.

From time to time, someone falls behind due to physical exhaustion, or falls to the ground with an arrow.

"Lord Lucas, what are we going to do now?" Several fugitive wizards asked uneasily, knowing that if this continued, everyone would die here.

"Those damned traitors!" The wizard named Lucas also scolded.

Originally, they formed the Mutual Aid Society to deal with the increasingly severe pursuit of the Holy See, and planned how to safely escape to the kingdom of Hadrata that is said to be ruled by a wizard.

Unexpectedly, there were traitors inside who betrayed the place of their assembly, and the church had already sent people to ambush there, and they killed them together while they were discussing, and after a series of fierce battles, more than 300 wizards and a large number of apprentices suffered heavy casualties, and only more than 100 people escaped.

Lucas was furious, but there was nothing he could do but say something of relief.

"Everyone, hold on a little longer, as long as we escape to the City of Fire and Oil, we will be safe, which is the territory of wizards."

"Once there, we no longer have to worry about being hunted down by the Holy See, we don't have to hide our identities, and we can use our magic openly......" Lucas kept telling about the good life in the future.

Although he was not sure whether the news was true or not, he had to stabilize the situation now, and if everyone lost hope, then they were really finished.
