Eighty-Eight, Light Split (II)

At the end of the day, Ovat still had to retreat, if he didn't retreat now, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have a chance to retreat if it was a little later, Kaigula would not let go of any opportunity, once Kaigula united with the guerrillas in the rear cut off the supply channel of the army, he was afraid that the army would collapse without a fight, so he had to withdraw, although it was a very painful decision, but he could only bear it.

When the rebel army retreated, the Empire of Light and the Dawn Empire were naturally a chorus of joy, and now, all the discerning people knew that the winner of the civil war in the Temple of Light had come out, although Ovate still had strong strength, but there was no possibility of a reversal, therefore, Ovat's retreat, all the nobles and officials of the rebel army had to consider how to live in the future, whether to continue to follow Ovate and Kaigula against Kaigula or defect to Kaigula, this is also a very difficult decision to make.

In response to this war, the high-level officials of the Dark Temple gasped, this Kaigula is too capable of fighting, in the face of Ovat's attack with six times his own troops, he drove Ovatt back in a daze. The black-clothed Shura smiled faintly and said: "Now you understand, Kaigula's strength is much stronger than you think, and it can even be said that my support rate in the temple is not as good as that guy's support rate in the hearts of the people of the Temple of Light, this guy, the reputation of the Sage of Light is not called in vain, and Ovat is finished." ”

The Beast Emperor and the High Priest were relatively speechless when they saw the battle report, and after a long while, the High Priest said: "Fortunately, we still have Xuantian, and fortunately, the Dark Temple has a black-clothed Shura who dragged Kaigula, otherwise, if Kaigula and Nicholas are together, I am afraid that our Orc Empire will really have the difficulty of destroying the country." "I finally understand now why Xuantian attaches so much importance to this Kaigula, this guy, how to say it? The tactics don't have much brilliance, but it makes people can't find any flaws, no matter what you do, it's useless, he uses absolute strength to break all your confidence, it's really not so pleasant to fight with such a guy." ”

Someone in the Temple of Light proposed to take advantage of the victory to pursue and end the war as soon as possible, at the meeting of the temple, the Pope also put forward this idea, including a large number of high-level members of the temple who believed that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue, but Kaigula did not agree, and the Pope was a little puzzled by this: "Senior brother, we are now the best chance to solve this war, why don't we attack?"

Kaigula smiled and said: "This war is no longer the point, the point is that we have to accumulate strength, although we don't have to worry about facing Ovat, but what about when the war is over? We still have to face two enemies, besides, after this war, our supplies are about to bottom out, in the end, our material reserves are not much, if we want to recover supplies, we need to wait for some time, so we can't attack for the time being." ”

This explanation did not satisfy the Pope, but he also heard that Kaigula had not yet spoken, so he stopped the temple higher-ups from attacking again, invited Kaigula into his study, and asked, "Senior brother, do you have any other ideas?" Senior brother, to put it bluntly, this war is still our civil war, no matter how badly Ovate is beaten, the loss is still the strength of our temple, and now, the discerning people already know that Aowalt is no longer playful, so those people will also think of another way, whether to continue to fight against us or turn around to us? I believe that there are a lot of people who have this idea, and if we can step up our political offensive and open our eyes to those people, I believe that within a year, a considerable part of those people will join us, and when the time comes, what will Ovatt use to confront us? Even a peaceful settlement of this war is not hopeless. I also hope that I can do my best to preserve the strength of our temple. ”

The Pope felt very comforted, and Kaigula's thoughts were exactly what he wanted: "Senior brother, you still have a long way to see, okay, let's do it, as long as we can solve this war, then we will have a better life in the future." "Senior brother, don't worry, the war will be resolved within two years. Kegula made a promise. "What about Ovat, can you let him go?" The Pope is still a little unbearable, Ovate is his disciple, he has raised him for so many years, it is really unbearable.

Kaigula sighed lightly and said: "Senior brother, talent is rare, I also want to let Ovate go, but it is not impossible to let him go, unless he leads the troops to surrender now, otherwise, even if I am willing to let him go, how can I explain to the soldiers who died on the battlefield?" The Pope was silent for a while before saying, "I'll figure out a way for this one." ”

Ovant retreated all the way back to Starlight City, the capital of the Starlight Empire, and the army went out in all directions, expelling some guerrillas from Starlight City, thousands of miles away, and, continuing to expel them, he wanted to ensure that he could have a relatively stable rear, and without a stable rear, what would he use to fight?

Late at night, Ovat was about to rest, when suddenly, a personal guard came to report: "Your Highness, someone asks to see you." "Who wants to see me?" I don't know, but Lord Ryris himself led the way. "Relice, who can work until one of the ten gods of light, personally leads the way, it must be not a simple person, and Owalt does not dare to slack off and goes out to greet him.

When the man came into the house and removed his hat from his head, Owalt exclaimed in horror, "Your Majesty." "It's the Pope. The Pope smiled and said, "I'm no longer the Pope, Ovac, you still call me Master, now, Mei Hua is the Pope." "Master, why are you here?" Ovette was busy pouring tea and water for the Pope, and at the same time, he felt very puzzled why the Pope suddenly appeared here, and there was no one of the guards by his side.

The Pope took a sip of tea and said, "I'm here for you." "Your Majesty, you are here for me, Master, what does this mean?" "Owart, you are raised by me, and you are an apprentice whom I personally taught, and I am closer to you than to my son, how are you to you?"

Owalt was a little ashamed and said, "Master, I will never forget your kindness to me for the rest of my life, but I ......" "It's just that I didn't give up the position of pope to you, right?" "No, the apprentice doesn't have this idea. Ovette hurriedly denied it, but everyone could tell that his true words were not like this. "O Ovat, do you know why I won't give you the position of Pope?" ”

The Pope became serious: "That's because your strength is far inferior to Kaigula, and it is also because your vision is far inferior to Kaigula and Nicholas." Don't be in a hurry to refute me (seeing that Ovate wanted to speak, the Pope said more), you are indeed very capable, better than many people, it can be said that if it were not for the black-clothed Shura, Tiger Xuantian, If you are a genius like Kaigula and Nicholas, you are definitely the best candidate for the Pope, but, Ovat, your vision is still old, you only see the Temple of Light, but you ignore the changes in the future, this era has produced major changes because of the emergence of the Yanhuang Clan, the speed of this change Needless to say you, even I find it difficult to accept, but no matter how difficult it is, I have to accept it, and if I don't accept it, I will perish, so I made up my mind to give up the position of Pope to Mei Hua because I saw the future。 ”

Owalt said: "Master, you say that my ability is not as good as theirs, but I am not convinced, Kegula's ability is only like this, far worse than Nicholas, why can he be the pope?" "Owalt, your vision is still the same, you have not grown, you have let the desire for power fascinate your mind, you still can't figure it out? Do you remember when I asked you a question? If the Yanhuang clan came to attack us, what should we do? I still remember that your answer was to fight to the end. Do you know what Kaigula's answer is?" "Kegula's answer is surrender. ”

Ovant was shocked and said, "Master, then you also put the power in the hands of Kaigula, and he will ruin the foundation of the temple." "What if I put power in your hands and completely ruin the foundation of the temple?Owalt, to be honest, do you really think we can stop the attack of the Yanhuang Clan? Even if we use all our strength, even if we can summon a large number of angel troops to the Nether, we will be able to stop the attack of the Yanhuang Clan?"

Aohua thought for a while and said, "I think, we shouldn't be defeated, right?" "Won't be defeated?" You said it easily, you won't be defeated, so do you know the strength of the Yanhuang clan?" Zhilu Dao, the Yanhuang Clan now only has the two countries of the Tianguang Empire and the Yanhuang Kingdom, and we don't know much about the strength of the Eastern Continent, however, according to Nicholas's inference, the population of the Yanhuang Clan should not be very large, at most it will not exceed three million people, even if they are all god-level strength, it is only three million people, as long as we do our best, we may not be able to defeat the Yanhuang Clan. Ovant said hesitantly.

The Pope sighed and said: "This is the gap between you and Kaigula, the information you get is far less than Kaigula's, so the conclusion you get is not the right conclusion, judging from the information that Kaigula has obtained, the strength of the Yanhuang clan is still more than a hundred times stronger than you imagined, and their strength is something we can't compete with at all, it is precisely because we know a lot of Tao, so Kaigula will choose to surrender, because this is our only way out, and it is also the best way to preserve the temple." ”

Owalt glanced at Rayris beside him. Rylis said: "Your Majesty, we are confused when you say this, why do you say that surrender can save our inheritance? I am afraid that Kaigula has fallen too deeply into the poison of the Yanhuang tribe, or Kaigula has believed some lies of the Yanhuang tribe." "Yes, surrender is the best way to keep the temple, this idea is so ridiculous that needless to say that a smart person like Ovart doesn't believe it, even people with a little brain won't believe it.

The Pope shook his head and said: "This one is where the gap between you and Kaigula lies, what Kaigula sees is far more long-term than what you see, take this war as an example, including me, they all advocate taking advantage of the victory to pursue and end this war completely, but Kegula is against it, do you know what Kaigula will oppose?" The Pope explained Kegula's thoughts once, and finally said: "Do you understand Kaigula's thoughts now?"
