Chapter 3: Sacrifice
"After reading these news, what do you think?" Seeing that Lin Nian had finished reading all the military newspaper files, Pi Baogu asked with some curiosity, Lin Nian had been gone for half a year, no one thought that in this half a year, Lin Nian had actually crossed the entire Fredom Continent, and then returned to this starting point, Lin Nian had a clearer understanding of the situation on the periphery, which was incomparable to no one on the continent today, so Lin Nian's opinion was particularly important.
"Now that we have been surrounded and divided by the demons, if the demons have no intention of continuing to attack, then the one-third of the continent territory they have occupied is enough for them to live, but we must know that it is impossible for them to give up the other two-thirds. Lin Nian supported his forehead with one hand, supported it with the other hand, knocked his head and continued: " Whether it is the orc grassland, or the abyss that is now splitting, the land divided by the demons has been a lot, and the overall strength of the continent has dropped too much due to years of war, and it is not a disadvantage to be able to maintain the same defense now, but the offensive momentum of the demons so far is still fierce, and it can be blocked now, and whether it can be blocked after a while is another matter, after all, the dark angels under the demon god seat have participated in the war, and in the case of the light god clan without support, we will definitely lose. But Lin Nian also knew that the archangel legion under the throne of the God of Light had been wiped out by Rien in the underworld, even if the God of Light was powerful, it was impossible to create so many angels out of thin air.
Lin Nian's words immediately woke up everyone present, the temple has always claimed to be a servant of God, but now looking at the temples of the three super human empires on the continent, it is almost useless, the temple of the Kotler Empire has experienced the dual power struggle of the god and the emperor, and under the intervention of the eldest princess of the god of light, it sent troops to the second line of defense composed of Salint City, and the temple power of the Binis Empire was basically completely pulled out by King Arthur, which is the empire with the most comprehensive divine control on the mainland, but the destruction can also be said to be overnight, and now the army of the temple has been taken over by King Arthur's imperial power, and in the war against the demons, these armies have been sent to the battlefield, is still besieged by the demons in Thorn City, and what happened in it is unknown.
As for the last one is the Ron Empire, thinking of this, Lin Nian couldn't help but look at Goron, this old guy is not only a necromancer, but also the temple's divine mage Constantine, maybe the temple's movements can get some from him.
However, seeing Lin Nian looking at him, Ge Long made a helpless expression and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know, it's not too early, I'll go clean up the wound." After saying that, Ge Long left directly, Lin Nian turned his head to look at Pi Baogu again, hoping to get some useful information from the expression of the commander-in-chief of the empire, but he was disappointed because Pi Baogu didn't seem to know that although the temple had sent a part of the army, the request for the Light God Clan had never been made, and this was what made Lin Nian puzzled.
Knowing that he couldn't get any useful information from here, after Lin Nian retired, he went directly back to his residence, Yinyue and Luna were both training the troops outside the city, but they were not in the residence, after Lin Nian had explored all around, he finally lay down on the bed and entered the small world of divine consciousness.
And by Lin Nian's call, the servant Xiao Si has been waiting in the small world for a long time, on the stone table, a huge eye, with thin limbs, the whole dark eye is Xiao Si's body, there is a thin line under the eye, that is the mouth of the servant Xiao Si, in the small world, no matter which servant can not hide his own body, after finding that his servant can be projected to the small world of divine consciousness according to the contract, Lin Nian began to summon Xiao Si, as his best intelligence servant, Xiao Si's ability can just be used by Lin Nianγ
"Meet the master!" Feeling Lin Nian's arrival, Xiao Si saluted directly from the table, and Lin Nian waved his hand and said: "Don't be so restrained, there are not so many rules in the small world, I guess you have also seen it, this is Lingye, Xiao Lucky, Fengyue, the people outside don't need to know each other, they are all undead who were purified by me in Juguan City, and now they are opening up the chaotic world in the small world, and I came to you today to let you show me if the temple has done anything recently." β
After feeling the will of the little master, Xiao Si has already investigated, but no matter which imperial temple it is, it is now selecting some seven or eight-year-old children, well, children the same size as Fengyue, of course, there are some big ones, but they are all underage, these children are now in the temple, what they are used for, it is not very clear. Xiao Si is very good at doing things, knowing what Lin Nian wants to know, Lin Nian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked about the other actions of the temple, but Xiao Si's answer was that in addition to supporting the army, what the temple is doing now is constantly screening underage children.
What does the screening child do?
"Infuse power, and then become an angel under the throne of God, spreading the light of God, every angel comes in this way, whether it is an angel of darkness, an angel of light, it is all like this, in the demon race, it is called a sacrifice. Seeing Lin Nian's puzzled face, Feng Yue on the side gave the answer directly, Lin Nian was stunned for a moment and immediately remembered that Feng Yue was originally a dark angel, and after being received by Ling Ye in the small world, the memory of this angel began to emerge slowly, but what she said was shocking, especially Lin Nian, he had fought with the dark angels, and he had also seen high-level light angels, and Li Nian directly destroyed the archangel army, if the predecessors of these angels were all underage children, then Lin Nian's hands were not stained with the blood of these children?
"At the same time, the infusion of strength will also cleanse the memories of these children, because of the attention of strength, their bodies will develop quickly, the older the lower the rank, the stronger the strength. Feng Yue muttered to himself with blank eyes, and the people around him were terrified to hear it, "When they are cleansed of their memories, they will also be indoctrinated with thoughts, so that their power will be more pure, and naturally more efficient." β
Although he didn't understand the word infusion, Lin Nian knew that this was definitely not a good thing, now the angels under the Demon God Throne had appeared, and the angel legion of the Bright God Clan had not yet appeared, and now the temple's actions could not be concealed from the imperial forces on the continent, that is, whether it was the monarch of that empire, they had already acquiesced to the temple's move?
Kotler Imperial ......
Lin Nian suddenly felt a little helpless in his heart, he asked Xiao Si to explore the scale of the Kotler Empire's Temple, and the result was the least one among the three empires, with less than twenty people, but whether it was the only one, Xiao Si didn't know, because the screening had started very early, and the Kotler Empire may have sent several batches, if this is really the case, then this number is not a decimal.
"Okay, I see, what's going on in the underworld?"
"The Ten Great Kings have blocked the entrance of the demon race to the underworld, but the entrance has not been closed, I have scouted, the world of the demon race seems to be no different from the mainland, but it is very desolate, at least I have explored more than three hundred miles, and the result is that it is all barren, and the living environment is really poor. Xiao Si likes to dance when he speaks, Lin Nian frowned, this is not consistent with what he said in the middle of the night, but there are several nodes where the demons invade the continent, and the underworld should be the first to be opened, and it is normal to be inconsistent.
Lin Nian didn't dwell on this side too much, after knowing the purpose of the temple, the projection of the servant Xiaosi slowly dissipated, and Lin Nian also returned to the real world, but when he looked up, he saw that the torches had been lit outside, it was actually at night, and it usually passed in an instant, why is it so long this time, Lin Nian was very puzzled, and before he could think about it, he heard two familiar laughter outside.
Silvermoon and Luna are back.
Lin Nian hurriedly got up, looked left and right, and was about to get under the bed, but found that there was actually a person with a dagger inside!
Why is he here?
The four eyes were facing each other, all of them were surprised, Lin Nian didn't expect that he didn't notice it, and the dark owl didn't expect that he would be discovered, but the dark owl's reaction was extremely fast, but Lin Nian was faster, the dim owl's hand was just about to move and was held down by Lin Nian, with a flick of his fingers, the dagger went straight to Lin Nian's face like a sharp arrow, Lin Nian tried his best to turn his head sideways and finally saved his face, but when the gloom saw that his deeds were missing, he immediately kicked his legs and kicked Lin Nian out of the air, and then pushed open the door and ran away, leaving only Lin Nian to get up slowly," This stinky boy, with so much strength, next time I won't give you a hard time!"
As soon as the words fell, Yinyue and Luna had already come in, and the door suddenly opened and closed, which naturally attracted the attention of the two women, but after hearing Lin Nian's voice, the two girls understood what was going on, seeing Lin Nian's somewhat embarrassed appearance, the two women suddenly chuckled, and then sat down next to Lin Nian and asked about the trip to leave the two days.
"The situation is more complicated than we thought, although in terms of troops, we can still hold on, but I am afraid that the actions of the temple will not be able to catch up with the actions of the demons, once the Dark Angel Legion comes, the catastrophe of the continent is really not far away. Lin Nian didn't hide it from the two women, but he didn't elaborate on the content of the conversation, this kind of big disapproval is better for the two of them not to know, especially Yinyue, if she knew that the goddess of life and the god of death that the elves believed in were actually the same god, her first reaction should be to shoot Lin Nian to death first? As for Luna, it should be difficult for her to accept the true face of the God of Light now.
"By the way, news came from Crescent Moon City today, the demons in the Kotler Empire section of the Hongdao Mountain Range on the mainland seem to have a new movement, and countless monsters have begun to move south, if there is no mistake, the demons should be attacking Crescent Moon City. Luna handed Lin Nian a scroll and said with some concern.
