Chapter Seventy-Five: The Crusade of the Forces of Light

Patriarch Johansen was the oldest patriarch of the Holy Family, over 160 years old, but still in good spirits. He continued: There have been three large-scale crusades in history, and the three crusades have swept away the demon forces on the Yingzhou Islands, destroyed their altars, demolished the temples of the Dark Demon Temple, and achieved some achievements. But the dark Ones have not organized a strong resistance, perhaps because they are afraid of revealing their strength.

The targets of the three Crusades are all located in the mist, Abbot Island, where the Dark Demon Temple is located, and the sea around it is shrouded in fog all year round, and any instruments that indicate the direction are useless in the fog. The First Crusade turned out of the fog a month and a half after entering the fog and did not find Abbot Island. The fleet of the Second Crusade suffered heavy losses in the fog under the double attack of the tsunami and the sea behemoths. Only for the third time, one of Johansen's detachments was lucky enough to find Abbot Island. After landing on the island, I found that a strong and huge dark castle had been built on the island, and the dark army in the castle was not at all a match for this detachment, and the eight black generals also showed their strength at the head of the city at that time.

After the detachment suffered a heavy blow, the detachment leader decisively ordered a retreat, and the dark legion did not chase out of the castle, so the detachment was able to escape smoothly. After sailing through the fog for more than a month, he made contact with the other detachments that had left the fog area without any results. After reporting the situation, all the members of the Crusade Corps were assembled, and materials and supplementary personnel were transferred from various continents to form the largest Legion of Light. However, it is a pity that the search for the island was fruitless again, and after a long time of drifting at sea, everyone's mental and physical strength could no longer support it, so they had to end this crusade gloomily, and since then no large-scale crusade to destroy demons has been organized. Now, the Dark Demon Temple has developed for nearly a hundred years, and no one can predict how far its power has grown.

Bei Mingxuan basically understood the situation of the so-called battle between darkness and light from the introductions of the three people, so he asked, "Thank you for your introduction, let me know something about this history." So as far as you know, what is the contrast between us and the dark now?"

Patriarch Abra took over the topic: "The strength of the Light Camp is not clearer than mine, and almost all of their equipment is from the hands of the craftsmen of the Dwarf Clan. There are nearly 3,000 clansmen in the Holy Clan who have the ability to fight, 1,000 people above the Divine Attendant, nearly 2,000 members of the Holy See who have combat effectiveness, about 600 people above the Divine Attendant, and the other Light allies combined, less than 1,000 people with the strength above the Divine Attendant. ”

The divisions of the strength levels of each clan in the Bright Camp are different, but in general, they are only different in name, and the general strength standards are the same. Based on the Divine Family, it is divided into five levels according to strength: Divine Disciple, Divine Servant, Divine Guard, Divine Master, and Divine Spirit, corresponding to the Huang, Xuan, Earth, Heaven, and Saint of the ancient martial arts. In other words, there are only about 2,600 fighters above the Xuan rank of the Bright Camp, which is less than one-tenth compared to Yanlong's ancient martial arts, and the overall strength gap is far away.

Then Commander Achilles was on the front line of the dark forces because he was defending, and he reported: "According to the information gathered by all parties and the information we have, the overall strength of the Dark Demon Temple is basically the same as ours, with about 3,000 fighters above the god servant, and the two battles have lost nearly 1,000 people, and the strength has dropped significantly, which is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation." ”

The old and solemn Patriarch Locke said: "The attack is necessary, and we have all heard the oracle of the Holy Spirit very clearly. But I suspect that the Dark Demon Temple is hiding their power, and this attack is intended to lure the enemy. There has been some progress in the interrogation of the Black Knights before I came, and now the interrogation is continued by the Lords elders of the clan, and news will come immediately. Therefore, how to gather forces to attack is a problem that needs to be treated with caution, and the defensive problem in the rear cannot be ignored. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, the situation was almost introduced to the Northern Immortal, and they all stared at the Holy Envoy, waiting for his final decision. Bei Shen Xuan fell into deep thought, he went through two battles, so to speak, he was impressed by the combat power of the Dark Warrior. The Light Camp did not have an advantage in terms of combat power, and from what he had heard, he did not believe that the Light Camp had the power to attack and successfully destroy the dark forces.

He vaguely felt that if it weren't for the taboo, the dark forces could completely wipe out or severely damage the light camp in one go. The idea of why this came to mind seems to have suddenly flashed into the mind when Patriarch Johansen introduced the situation of the Third Crusade.

In addition, from the analysis of the battle between gods and demons thousands of years ago, with the help of the power of Middle-earth, the gods won the final victory, but it was not an overwhelming victory. Don't talk about Zhongzhou now, the Yanlong Kingdom alone has the strength to crush the light camp, if the dark forces can still confront Zhongzhou, then it can only be said that they are hiding too deeply.

The Holy Spirit's oracle is very clear, and the Northern Immortal Xuan is tasked with exterminating the Demon King. But does it rely on the existing power of light? The Tianfu he said is obviously the same holy spirit as her, "Heavenly Dao is counted", is Heavenly Dao a god or refers to the cycle of Heavenly Dao? Is there any connection with the five major gates of the Shushan Sect. With the divine power of the Holy Spirit, he controls the opportunity, and all the arrangements have far-reaching implications. Along the way, the gods only improved his strength, and did not pay much attention to improving and enhancing the power of the holy clan. Could it be that there is no need for a big war, but a decapitation operation?

Bei Mingxuan, who had figured it out, suddenly became enlightened, organized and spoke: "I listened very carefully to what you said. Let me ask you another question, if we need to completely clear the dark forces on the Yingzhou Islands and ensure that they can't hide and escape, how many teams do we need to dispatch?"

After a moment's thought, Johansen replied, "If we want to achieve the goal that the Holy Envoy said, we must send at least five armies to separate up and clean up the islands of Yingzhou, so that they cannot play hide and seek with us between the islands. ”

Bei Mingxuan nodded and said: "I assume that the current intelligence is accurate, then the other party still has about 2,000 people with combat effectiveness, and each of our men and horses must have the strength to confront their entire forces." I will then exclude the battle in the opponent's sphere of influence, the role of the opponent's low-level combat power and the role of auxiliary attacks such as magic circles and castles. There must be at least 1,000 men on each side to be able to hold out in the confrontation until reinforcements arrive. Then we need 5,000 troops, and we are still short of half of our troops, so the result of starting the Eastern Crusade will inevitably be in vain. The dark forces that have dared to take the initiative to kill the archipelago will no longer hesitate to show their strength. If we concentrate our forces, they will inevitably swim but not attack, and dispersing our strength will allow them to break each other, not to mention that we will not be able to give up the fundamental strength of the clan to defend and pour out. So, to organize the Fourth Crusade, I don't think it's feasible. ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and the Holy Envoy's analysis was very reasonable, but how to complete the Holy Spirit's oracle without the Eastern Crusade?

Patriarch Abra hurriedly said, "My lord, are you ready to give up and sit and watch the Demon King wake up?"

Patriarch Locke suggested: "The Holy Envoy is from the Holy Spirit's hometown of Middle Continent, I think you can announce the content of the Holy Decree to Central Continent, North Ice Continent, and Donglin Continent in the name of the Holy Envoy, and ask the light forces of each continent to fight together, I think there should be no problem in concentrating 5,000 troops." ”

"Patriarch Locke's suggestion is very good, and the envoy can even join forces with the Pope to advocate the ceremony. ”

Bishop Adams hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Excellency, there is no problem with this, and I can agree to this proposal on behalf of His Majesty the Pope. ”

Bei Ying Xuan smiled at Adams and thanked him: "I can tell you responsibly that just in Yanlong, I can gather about 20,000 troops with the strength of God Servant or above to fight together. ”

The audience exclaimed.

"However, have you ever thought about how long it takes to prepare for the cross-continental transfer, assembly, and logistical support of a large number of troops? How long does it take to sweep the entire Yingzhou Sea after the troops are assembled? Thousands of years have passed, how long will it take for the Demon King to completely break off the seal, and we won't have time?"

Bishop Adams asked, confused, "What are we going to do if you say that?"

Bei Mingxuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the purpose of our discussion is to come up with the best and feasible plan. I think that a large-scale crusade can only be used as an alternative, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I plan to lead a demon slaying team composed of top combat power to go straight to Abbot Island, surprise attack the Dark Demon Temple, and kill the Demon King. ”

Patriarch Locke and Patriarch Abra immediately raised their voices against it: "Holy Envoy, this is too risky, you are the hope of the light, if you have an accident, the light will no longer be able to defeat the demon king." ”

Bei Ming Xuan said: "Everyone has heard the oracle, in order to successfully kill the Demon King, you must enter the Dark Demon Temple on Abbot Island. Rather than slowly pushing forward to delay the timing, it is better to go straight to the point. What's more, didn't the oracle say that I am now an invincible body in the mortal world?"

People still feel that it is too risky to accept. At this time, Patriarch Locke's mobile phone rang, and Patriarch Locke hurriedly asked Bei Xuan to answer it. It was the Patriarch of Loins, and Locke's face turned gloomy after hearing two sentences.

He commanded, "Lords, wait a minute, I press the speakerphone, the Holy Envoy, the Bishop of Adams, and the heads of the patriarchs are here." ”

The voice of the elder Loinsian came from the mobile phone: "Greetings, Lord Holy Envoy. After holding out for three days, the Black Warrior's soul defense was opened, and the soul brand had been planted. The information he confessed was too important: first, the seal of the Demon King would be completely unlocked within three months at the latest, and this time would only be advanced and not delayed; second, the Dark Demon Temple currently had 1 million loyal fanatical believers, 20,000 warriors with the strength of gods and above, and no less than 100 generals and even three magicians; third, it was good that the Dark Demon Temple's attack this time would be successful, but if it could not succeed, it would be used as bait to lure the Light Camp to take the bait and launch an Eastern Crusade, so as to completely destroy our living forces. They have assembled on several islands around Abbot Island and are waiting for our arrival. In addition, the dark forces are now all over the world, and even the heads of state of some countries are the spokespersons of the Dark Demon Temple, and there are ten super large enterprises like Huayi Guoluo Company that belong to the Dark Demon Temple. Hopefully, this intelligence will be helpful in your decision-making. ”

The words of the Elder Loinsian plunged the audience into speechless fear, for nearly a thousand years, the light camp thought that it still had enough strength to restrain the power of darkness, who would have thought that it was not the darkness that was completely suppressed, but the light itself. Has the strength of the darkness reached this point? What should be done now is how to protect oneself, let alone destroy the dark forces and kill the demon king.

Seeing that everyone was frightened by the situation from Loins, Bei Mingxuan had no intention of losing his morale, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be depressed, everyone, in terms of overall strength, the dark forces are far from being comparable to the light. Not to mention the two continents of Donglin and Arctic, only the Central Continent can suppress them, so they have been keeping a low profile. In the oracle of the Holy Spirit, it is clear that my mission is to slay the Demon King, and it is impossible for the Holy Spirit and the divine power of the gods not to foresee this. The certification ceremony I came all the way proves that the gods can make such a subtle arrangement, how can they ignore such a major problem as the supernormal development of the dark power?, so my advice is to concentrate high-end combat power, attack quickly, and be sure to break into the demon temple and kill the demon king within three months. ”

When everyone heard Bei Mingxuan say this, they all felt justified in extreme fear and loss. Reality forced them to stop exploring the feasibility of Bei Shenxuan's proposal, and instead revise and improve it. Everyone was also secretly impressed by the Holy Envoy's keen sense and accurate inference, and even more impressed by his courage and responsibility. Everyone came up with ideas, and the demon elimination plan was quickly supplemented.

The next day, the Holy Clan and the Holy See jointly issued an initiative to eradicate demons, calling on the forces of light on all continents to unite to eliminate the power of the dark demon temple and curb the invasion of dark forces around the world. The Holy Clan and the Holy See will form an Expeditionary Legion to launch a Fourth Holy War to eradicate the dark forces in the Yingzhou Islands. The initiative also provides a brief account of the situation of the Holy Envoy and conveys the message of the Holy Spirit. For a while, the global supernatural forces responded one after another, and contacted the Eastern Crusade Headquarters to negotiate the alliance.

News came from various sources: the envoy of the Holy Envoy, Hai Shaowei, had returned to China with an order to organize contact with the Guwu clan, and that His Majesty the Pope had risen from the Holy See and went to the Templar Castle to meet with the Holy Envoy to discuss the plan.

The news is very accurate, Hai Shaowei was indeed ordered to return to China with two tasks: one is to submit to the base the smelting and refining suggestions of the mecha and armor materials that Bei Ying Xuan sorted out overnight, and the laser emitter and mecha manufacturing opinions put forward after studying the Holy Light Tower, the Ares statue, and the beast god puppet. The second is to mobilize twenty combat personnel above the middle level to the Mingyue Alliance, Zhang Yihao and Bei Yingfeng and the other six people rushed to the knight's castle within three days, and Hai Shaowei and the other three people were still weak and stayed at the base. And he used these three days to try to attack the Heavenly Rank, because he had already faintly felt that the opportunity that Master Jue Ran had said had arrived.

Two days later, the Holy Envoy walked out of the secret chamber of the temple of retreat refreshed, just in time to greet His Holiness St. Joseph, who had arrived from the Holy See. His Majesty the Pope was very curious about this young envoy, and after meeting him, he looked at it carefully, and he sighed heartily. The Holy Envoy in front of him seemed to be an ordinary and ordinary appearance, but the momentum of a superior person naturally showed his majesty from the inside out, and with his humble smile, it gave people a unique charm and attraction.

The Pope, who had been a divine master for many years, could not perceive the strength of the Holy Envoy, and only felt that it was like an ordinary mortal and like an unfathomable sea, and in front of him, the Pope actually had a feeling of being looked down upon. It didn't feel good, and the Pope, who had been at his peak for a long time, was a little uneasy by this feeling.

Bei Mingxuan seemed to sense his uneasiness, and said, "Your Majesty, it's a great honor for you to come to the Knight Temple in person. In a little while, one of my division commanders will arrive from Middle-earth, and you will be able to talk to him. ”

The Pope was immediately attracted: "Your Excellency, your teacher, then I am so honored that I must meet this Master and ask him for advice." ”

Bei Mingxuan said: "He is a Buddhist monk, and his Dharma name is Jueran, have you heard of it?"

"Master Jueran, I'm like thunder. ”

The two walked and chatted as they walked into the temple hall. After Hai Shaowei's information reached the Bright Moon Alliance, Master Jue Ran learned the information that there was a war between light and darkness and that the demon king was about to wake up. After talking to Long Xingyun on the phone, he resolutely decided to rush to Nanyang Continent, accompanied not only by the elders of the Bright Moon Alliance, but also by the members of Xuanyuan, the Dongcheng family, the Dragon Pavilion and some hidden masters, there were forty-six people, all of whom had combat power above the middle of the ground level. Only the Changting faction and the Nangong family of the Yanlong Great Sect did not send anyone to participate. On the surface, the major sects began to select disciples to participate in the Eastern Expeditionary Legion, but in fact, the forty-six elders and the six brothers of the Northern Immortal Master had already taken a special plane to fly directly to the Knight's Castle.
