Chapter 5 The Beginning of the Divine War, Yanyu Jiangnan

In Faro, the situation is like the deep sea, and the surface is calm, but the undercurrent below it is suddenly much more.

The priests of the three goddesses have been extremely nervous these days, because the goddesses are constantly promulgating oracles, so they walk like flying.

The relocation of the main shrine of the goddess of hunting and the forest has not yet been completed, and two new magnificent shrines are being built. The church of the two goddesses alone could not afford to build a temple of this size, and it was only possible to complete it by Richard's donation of 200,000 gold coins to each goddess.

In addition, in order to show respect for the goddess of spring water, who is already weak in divine power, the main shrine of the two goddesses is slightly smaller than the temple of the goddess of spring water.

These days, Pope Philen, the goddess of springs, seems to be so preoccupied that only she can hear some of the most important oracles. She stayed awake for days on end, looking through the Great Temple for all the texts she could find. Finally, on this day, she changed into civilian clothes and hurried to Richard's camp to talk to Mito, Clarke, and Sandru.

In the middle of the banquet sat a tall general of Anlekala, who was dressed in extremely heavy iron armor at all times, and seemed to be ready to go to battle at any time, and there was no expression on his face.

No one knew where he came from, but a man who suddenly appeared before Richard left. The combat effectiveness of the thirteenth level of the general is not very strong, but Richard attaches great importance to him, and deliberately tells him that he will participate in every meeting, and asks his followers to pay attention to his opinion, if he has an opinion.

In fact, the so-called Anlekara is nothing more than an elite dark knight, but the appearance has been personalized to be closer to human. Standing behind this elite unit is the split-brain, the brood.

According to the oracle of the goddess and some other signs, it is now almost certain that a new divine war is brewing and may break out at any time! I have looked up the teachings of the God of Courage, and the possibility of a divine war breaking out is very high. In the war of God, the war between the secular churches will be a very important part, and may even determine the victory or defeat of the war of God. Therefore, once the war breaks out, Lord Richard will be the key to the war. Now that we are running out of time, I wonder where Master Richard has gone, and we must win the church wars. ”

When Richard left, the designated interim head was Clark. Because of his continuous service, the accumulated power of time has reached the fourteenth level. As the great priest of the former highland god of war, Clark is no stranger to divine warfare. He furrowed his eyebrows, exchanged glances with Sandru, and then looked back at Anlekara.

Anlekara's face was expressionless, and he clearly had no intention of expressing an opinion.

"If it is true that His Highness Philan has said, then it is indeed necessary to inform Lord Richard. The god of courage will have at least one god son or incarnation in the mortal world, and we may not be able to stop it. Clark gave his opinion.

Sandru is also a fourteenth-level necromancer now, but almost all of his mind is in the wizarding world, and he doesn't know politics at all, let alone divine warfare.

Listening to Clark's words, Anlekara nodded, so Clark called in an Akmund foot knight and asked him to take two retinues and immediately return to Norland to inform Richard. When Richard left, he took almost all his followers and all the high-end combat power with him, and now the strength of the Bloodstained Land has not changed much, but the comprehensive combat power has dropped significantly.

Nowadays, a large number of immigrants are pouring into the bloodstained land every day, and new people are constantly joining the army in order to obtain the status of a lord. In such a chaotic and complicated situation, it is not difficult for people with intentions to obtain relevant information about Richard.

Richard didn't care very much, his original intention was to show most of his strength, so as to deter some guys who don't have long brains, so as not to get into trouble. Anyway, politics is such a game, and when Richard needs war, he can always find some excuse.

After informing Richard, Clark began to mobilize his army and strengthen the defenses in all directions.

Over the next few days, the situation began to become worrying. Both the royal family of the Redwoods Kingdom and the Iron Triangle Empire were secretly mobilizing and moving their armies, and the Baroque Kingdom was also heavily armed on the frontier. The movements of the principalities, large and small, were strange, and the troops within the territory were frequently moved.

These days, many big names are very busy.

King Sequoia, for example, had two days of secret discussions with the three cardinals of the Church of the God of Courage, exhausting the already aged king. The death of the crown prince still hit him hard, and he couldn't immediately train a qualified heir in such a short period of time, so he had to do many things himself. But in the end, the two sides came to an agreement.

The important point that prompted the two sides to make up their minds was that Richard and all his followers and the most elite troops had suddenly disappeared, and now there was only one Great Magister left in the Bloodstained Land, and his strength could be described as extremely empty. Obviously, Richard was stumped by something important, which is why he struck hard. Without Richard and his terrible followers, the 20,000 troops in the Bloodstained Lands would not have been in the eyes of these people.

And in this divine war, as long as the great temple of the three goddesses is leveled in one fell swoop, it will be considered a victory. After annexing the divine power of the three goddesses, the god of courage may be promoted to a powerful divine power, and at that time, no matter how powerful the secret gods behind Richard are, they will not be able to do anything about Nei'an.

What's more, since that god does not develop believers in the bloodstained land, he obviously has another territory, maybe it has something to do with the incident of Richard being entangled, so there is no need to worry.

There is more than one such secret meeting, and it is just as urgent.

The bloodstained land, which was unprecedentedly weak, like a maiden undressed, attracted countless prying eyes. And the charm of the girl is equal to the income generated by the land. Now in the mouths of many nobles, the Land of Blood has been renamed the Land of Flowing Gold, and you can imagine her charm.

Under the influence of multiple forces, on the tenth day of the meeting between Philon and Clark, Neian sounded the horn of war. After the invasion of the Star Beasts, the Sixth Divine War of Faro broke out.

In the void, the Divine Kingdom of Nei'an was approaching the Divine Kingdom of the Three Goddesses, and countless Divine Kingdom warriors flew into the Divine Kingdom of the Three Goddesses like dense streams. The divine kingdom of the three goddesses is one step closer to each other, relying on the collective strength to suppress the divine kingdom warriors of Nei'an.

Because the goddess of spring water had just been promoted to a weak divine power, and the number of warriors of the Divine Kingdom in Nei'an was obviously less than normal, the three goddesses withstood the first round of attacks and entered the stage of consuming each other's divine power and divinity.

And in the mortal world, the coalition army composed of the Sequoia Kingdom, an integrated army of the Iron Triangle Empire, the alliance of the six principalities, and the clerical corps and the Templar Knights of the Church were divided into four ways and fought separately into the bloodstained land!

The coalition forces were overwhelmed, breaking through the defenses set up by Clark all the way, and the troops were directed towards the major oasis cities. Although Clark is already quite good at warfare among the clergy, he is not yet up to the level of a famous general. The front he personally commanded could barely hold off his opponent, but there would be a rout in other directions.

Because of the entry of the Sequoia royal family into the war, Richard himself did not show up for a long time, and most of the aristocratic private armies that were originally under Richard's orders chose neutrality, which made Clark have less than 20,000 troops at his disposal.

Among the various fronts, perhaps the one that surprises people is Anlekala. The enigmatic general has demonstrated an excellent command of the brood class, and is ruthless, leaving no prisoners or wounded soldiers after every battle.

But even so, all he can do is delay, try to delay the speed of the opponent's advance. It is already difficult to make up for the huge disadvantage in troops. But Anlekala's shortcomings are also obvious, although he is good at tactics and often plays very well in contact battles, but throughout the battle, he has quite a problem in strategic arrangement, sometimes it is a stroke of genius, and sometimes it seems quite stupid.

In the blink of an eye, the war has been going on for more than half a month. Clark had done his best, but the progress of the coalition forces on the internal security side was not very smooth, but it was still eating away at his troops and land little by little.

Richard was never heard from.

During this time, the second, and even third, groups of emissaries were sent back to Norland, but the portal remained as smooth as a mirror on the surface of a windless lake, and no one was seen returning.

As time went on and the war became more and more severe, Clark's heart slowly sank. After all, he knew more about the Divine War, and he had already guessed the possible reason, that is, all the messengers sent had encountered 'lost time'.

Oasis City remained relatively peaceful, and there were still a handful of people inside whose lives were unaffected. Raymond, who has always lived a freehand life in the small courtyard, is one of them.

That afternoon, the door of the quiet courtyard was pushed open, but it was not the waiter who delivered the food that came in, but the great mage Mito.

"Master Mito, why are you here? Raymond put down the map in his hand and greeted him. Although Mito has defected to Richard, Raymond's attitude towards him remains the same.

According to tradition, the powerhouses of the Sanctuary and the Grand Magus level did not have to die for a certain family in the first place, and Mito surrendered when the war reached the point of despair, which was already a matter of doing his best. And in the past, Mito has saved Raymond's life more than once.

Mito glanced at the map on the table, saw that it was a map of the Bloodstained Lands and the surrounding area, and said, "You also care about this war?"

"It's idle anyway. Raymond smiled, and while preparing tea for Mito, he said: "The opportunity for the Divine War is rare, and I have only experienced a Divine War, and that time is not considered to have set foot in the main battlefield, but I only went to reap some benefits in the later stage of the war." ”

Mito nodded, suddenly sighed, and said, "Raymond, I'm here to say goodbye to you. In the afternoon I will leave for the front. ”

Raymond was taken aback, looked up and asked, "What? You are also going to war? Has the situation deteriorated to this point?"
