Chapter 174: Preparing for War
Both legions of the Holy See were founded in the early 12th century, more than 900 years ago, so they have a deep heritage.
Moreover, the original intention of the Holy See to create these two legions was to conquer the Eastern Cultivation Realm. Therefore, the training of these two legions is extremely rigorous, and the combat power is definitely much stronger than previously expected.
Due to the fact that God Jehovah had adopted a policy of "fear but not destruction" towards the Bloods, these two legions had not been used to conquer the Bloods since their creation, except for several Crusades, so the Bloods did not know much about the power of these two legions. Now that Jehovah has given the Holy See an order to exterminate the Bloods, it is inevitable that the Holy See will use these two legions in order to fulfill God's will and reduce its own casualties. In this way, the blood clan will definitely suffer a big loss because of this, and there is even a real danger of extinction. This is also one of the reasons why Wang Yu wants to help the blood clan.
Of course, it will not be easy for the Holy See to use the two legions against the Bloods. Because most of the Bloods are scattered in densely populated urban areas, if the Holy See wants to use legions against the Bloods, innocent people will inevitably be harmed, and it will also be opposed by mortal states. This is one of the reasons why the Holy See finds it difficult to exterminate the Bloodlines in ten years.
But for Wang Yu, it didn't matter whether the Holy See used these two legions to wipe out the Blood Clan. He only needed to let the strength of the blood clan itself continue to increase, so Wang Yu not only asked most of the blood clan members to go to the dark holy land for retreat and cultivation, but also took out a batch of high-grade spirit-grade Pei Yuan Dan for these blood clans to take.
As a result, more than a thousand members of the blood clan practiced new exercises while taking the pills provided by Wang Yu in the Dark Holy Land.
During this period, Wang Yu and his family continued their travels, not only to Africa, the Americas, Oceania, Australia and other places, but also to the north and south poles, and even went deep into the bottom of the sea to see the underwater scenery.
Finally, at the beginning of the eighth year after leaving home, they returned home to Shanghai after a seven-year trip.
It was the third day after they returned home, a full four years and a month after the members of the Blood Clan had been in retreat. These members of the Blood Clan who had been in retreat and cultivation in the Dark Holy Land had also completed the first stage of their retreat and cultivation process.
Because he left a trace of his own divine thoughts in the dark holy land, Wang Yu also discovered this situation in time. Due to the unusual attention to their cultivation results, as soon as they came out, Wang Yu's divine thoughts immediately covered all the people, and he began to use his divine thoughts to probe the energy level and form in their bodies.
After some investigation, Wang Yu was immediately overjoyed. Wang Yu found that all the members who cultivated the new exercises, not only did the energy level in their bodies increase, but these energies were no longer stored in their hearts, but half of them flowed into the lower dantian, and began to form a cloud-like gray energy body in the lower dantian. This phenomenon is more obvious in the twenty-seven members of the imperial rank.
After Wang Yu carefully analyzed this cloud-like energy body with his divine thoughts, he found that although this gray energy was lower than the energy level in the body of the Demon Beast Eight Monsters. But it's true that it's a demon element, and it seems to be more advanced than the true element in the cultivator's body.
This means that this new technique can not only improve the blood clan's origin energy, that is, blood energy, but also allow them to become a demon cultivator, who can condense the magic pill and demon baby like other demon cultivators. This also means that members of the Blood Clan who cultivate the new exercises will be able to ascend like other demon cultivators, and from then on they will have unlimited room for improvement. And because they also retained the abilities of the Blood Clan, coupled with the fact that the Blood Clan was naturally strong in flesh, they had stronger strength than demon cultivators of the same realm.
In addition, Wang Yu is also delighted by the members of these retreats. Except for the twenty-seven emperor-level members who were directly promoted by themselves, the blood energy in the other members had all increased by at least one level, and some even increased by three levels. Moreover, after more than two years of training, the original twenty-seven emperor-level members have gradually become familiar with the energy in their bodies. At present, they are basically able to exert the strength that an emperor should have. Wang Yu roughly calculated and found that after the retreat, the blood clan had 27 emperor-level members, 79 prince-level members, and 356 duke-level members. There are five hundred and thirty-two people at the earl level, and most of the others have reached the level of a marquis.
The Blood Clan's side is in retreat and cultivating, and the Holy See is not idle.
During the years when most of the Bloods were in retreat in the Dark Lodge, the Holy See attempted to wage war against the Bloods several times. It's just that they found that the vast majority of the blood clan members actually disappeared out of thin air, especially those high-level blood clan members almost all disappeared from their sight. And no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find the slightest clue.
This made the top brass of the Holy See both worried and anxious. The fear is that the disappearance of the members of the Bloodline seems to be brewing some kind of conspiracy, and this conspiracy itself does not have the slightest information. Anxiously, although the angel has disappeared, God's orders cannot be violated, so seeing that the deadline given by God to destroy the blood clan is gradually approaching, most of the members of the blood clan are nowhere to be seen. How can this keep them from anxious!!
The most frustrating thing for the high-ranking members of the Holy See was that they were unable to wage war against the Bloods for fear of being frightened. As a last resort, the Holy See can only do something other to enhance its own chances of victory.
On the one hand, the Holy See has already tried to send several personnel to carry out the plan provided by the four-winged angel before, that is, to pretend to be a blood clan to assassinate the Eastern cultivator and blame the blood clan. However, due to Wang Yu's reasons, these personnel disappeared inexplicably, so the Holy See's plan never succeeded;
On the other hand, they also mobilized almost all the resources in the Holy See and began to supervise the cultivation of knights and mages, especially those members who were about to break through became the focus of training. At the same time, they began to train the two legions on their secret base, and they were also preparing to use some mages and knights trained in the past few hundred years to form a third legion, that is, the John Legion.
After more than four years of intensive preparations, not only did the Holy See have four more early gods and five early paladins, but also trained the two legions to the best condition, and successfully formed the third legion, the "John Cavalry Legion". It can be said that the strength of the Holy See has also been qualitatively improved. This also reflects the depth of the Holy See's heritage, which is thick and thin. In comparison, the background of the blood clan is much weaker.
It can be said that without Wang Yu's help this time, the blood clan would indeed be in danger of extinction. However, at present, from the perspective of masters, the blood clan has an overwhelming advantage. It's just that the Holy See has three major legions, so from the perspective of actual combat power, it is still unknown who is strong and who is weak. (To be continued......)
