Chapter 482: Idar's Attack, Special Operations Plan!

Bruno would never believe that

the church didn't know that what it was doing was courting disaster.

But the church still did it, and this was something they had been planning for hundreds of years.

And this...

This is also what made Bruno so angry.

Although thanks to the existence of the wonder construction system and the fearless exploration of Idar's soldiers, Bruno can indeed learn many secrets that are difficult for others to access.

But this is not enough! Bruno needs to know more, because only by knowing more details can he avoid making wrong judgments! Only then can he find the weaknesses of the church! And there is no doubt that this piece of information presented to his desk this time, this piece of information sent back by Major Alme Weasley and others at great risk, provides Bruno with extremely important decision-making reference.

The frequency of the birth of mutants is related to the activity level of the remnants of gods.

This is the most important discovery brought about by this exploration!

But what is thought-provoking is...

This sentence actually has two completely different interpretations.

The first interpretation is, of course, that the god is not yet dead.

Although the church stole the corpse of the god and even reached a certain consensus with its remnant, it was still unable to control this existence that was beyond human limits.

As for the other interpretation, it is a bit interesting.

That is...

The church's god-making plan has, to some extent, made a breakthrough! (Chapters 425 and 426) If this is true, then the first Pope O'Brien is very likely still alive. Even with the variable of the Principality of Idar, everything is still proceeding according to his plan.

even……

If that old monster was still alive, then he might have already touched that threshold that sounded out of reach!

And if it is really as mentioned in the second interpretation, then what makes the gods' evil thoughts more active is not the gods who are not yet dead, but the first Pope O'Brien himself!

No matter which of these two results is right or wrong, it is definitely bad news for the Principality of Idar!

…

Although Bruno already had a very clear self-awareness that he was a time traveler, his time travel experience was very similar to that of most online novel protagonists, which meant that his life would definitely not be smooth sailing.

But when he first came into this world, Bruno still held a glimmer of expectation.

He hoped that he could live a completely different life from his previous one as a border noble.

Because no matter who the time traveler is, deep down in his heart, he probably doesn't want to live a life of fighting and facing threats all day long.

Instead of wandering on the edge of life and death day after day, he finally emerged from the cocoon as a butterfly and tore the galaxy apart with his hands...

Bruno prefers to be a little more relaxed, relying on his forward-looking vision to make some small inventions and creations, and then spend the rest of his life with a girl he loves.

Isn’t this kind of life good?

But obviously...

For Bruno, a time traveler, this is destined to be just a luxury.

First, Earl Solon frequently provoked.

Then Odin rode his iron horse across the mountains and rivers,

Next,

The empire split, the church entered the scene, the Lost Land thousands of miles away has never been stable, and the situation on the mainland is also turbulent.

If at the beginning, Bruno just wanted to stay out of trouble.

So now...

He has an additional responsibility on his shoulders.

From an inconspicuous border wilderness to a miracle land dominating the east, Bruno has devoted countless efforts to this land.

With his forward-looking vision and the various buffs brought by the wonder construction system,

The Idar people, who originally had a low level of prenatal education per capita, managed to create this incredible miracle under the leadership of Bruno.

Now think about it,

Even Bruno Stuart himself seemed to feel like he was in a dream.

so……

These strange things caused by the Church of Light are certainly a headache for people.

But Bruno's sense of responsibility and pride as a time traveler would never allow the church to act so recklessly under his nose! Are you rebelling against me? It was with this idea in mind that the Principality of Idar sent out its troops.

Yes,

While Major Alme Weasley was going deep into the danger of the Lost Lands and walking on the brink of life and death, the Idar army stationed in Idar's native land was also not idle.

Under the personal command of Lieutenant General Sam Layton of the Idar Army,

Idar's army was divided into three groups and occupied the vast territory in the east of the Valens Plain at lightning speed before the Church of Light.

This also enabled the Idar people to direct their troops directly at the Third Legion of the Crusaders entrenched in the Kelvin Basin.

Shakespeare once said that whether it is a mule or a horse, it should be taken out for a walk.

The Idar people have never been afraid of war, even if they are facing the Crusader Legion, which has been unstoppable before, they are not afraid at all.

At worst, we can just fight! It’s not like we haven’t fought before!

On one side was the Crusaders that had taken several months to defeat Saint Lawrence, and on the other side was the Idar army that had torn the Kingdom of Basel apart in just one week.

Although considering the trump card held by the Church of Light, Lieutenant General Sam Layton cannot guarantee that the Idar army has a 100% chance of victory, but at least... the Idar people will definitely not lose!

The worst that can happen is a draw!

Even if the worst happens, the gradual deployment of the "Explorer" A type light armored infantry vehicle will enable the Idar troops stationed on the front line to retreat safely.

And obviously,

For various reasons, the current Church of Light has no plans to confront the Idar people head-on, so after occupying the Kelvin Basin, the Church of Light stopped its further expansion.

therefore,

After this incident, the territory that once belonged to Rez has now been divided among three forces.

in,

The Church of Light occupies the most land.

Including the imperial capital of St. Lawrence, the vast plains south of the Albona River, and the Kelvin Basin bordering the Valens Plain were all taken over by the Church of Light.

The Principality of Idar received the least land and only managed to rule over the entire Valens Plain.

This is not because Bruno is not enterprising, but because the previous territory of the Kingdom of Basel has not been fully digested. If he eats too much at once, it will not only easily lead to indigestion, but also make his eating appearance too ugly.

only……

Apart from the Principality of Idar and the Church of Light, the power that divided up the remaining territories under Rez's rule was not the Kingdom of Cecil.

Two years ago,

after finding out who was the more benevolent father between itself and the Principality of Idar, the Odin Empire, which dominated the northern part of the continent, behaved well for a while.

after all……

Whether it is the now prosperous Port of Hobbs, or the Port of Dorne adjacent to the Forest of Beasts, these concessions located within the Odin Empire but controlled by the Idar people all demonstrate to the Odin Empire the strong national strength and profound heritage of the Principality of Idar.

But the Odin people can afford to provoke the Principality of Idar, the Second Prince Rez who is on the verge of destruction!

indeed,

Prior to this,

The Odin Empire once signed a ceasefire agreement with Rez, but the problem is... Rez is dead now, and the Odin Empire will naturally not watch such a big piece of fat meat slip away from its eyes.

then,

Tens of thousands of Odin's cavalry, with the momentum of "the great snow dragon riding down to the south of the Yangtze River", wiped out all obstacles on the way forward like a whirlwind.

Not only did he expand the southern border of the Odin Empire to the banks of the Albona River, but he also occupied the fertile Sogn Plain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As for the Kingdom of Cecil...

Well, ever since the Church of Light conquered Saint Lawrence, the Kingdom of Cecil has clearly realized the powerful strength of the Church of Light.

Then……

Mankun Blood, who is King Cecil, suddenly realized a very serious problem.

first,

The Odin Empire has the Odin Cavalry that traverses the continent, and the Cecil Kingdom cannot defeat them.

Secondly,

The Kingdom of Cecil could not rush into the city of St. Lawrence with a desperate offensive like the Crusaders.

Then, the Kingdom of Cecil, which occupies the western part of the continent, naturally cannot compare with the Principality of Idar, which is located in the eastern part of the continent.

So, to sum up, after a series of thoughts, the originally ambitious King Mankun Blood suddenly realized that he seemed to be the weakest among the forces located in the territory of the Norman Empire! This was not just weak, but extremely weak!

This undoubtedly made King Cecil feel confused.

It shouldn't be like this!

Isn't the western part of the empire the most prosperous place on the continent? How did it suddenly become like this?

As a normal person, the former King of Cecil, Mankun Blood, could never have imagined that he would be facing Bruno, a cheater, and the Church of Light, which had been devoted to creating gods and hoarding power for hundreds of years.

so……

Today, the Kingdom of Cecil can only pursue an extremely conservative defense policy and be vigilant against external threats at all times.

As for the land and wealth left behind by the fall of Rez, no one dared to fight for them rashly.

Although King Cecil Mann Blood also cares about the dignity of the nobility, he is not ignorant, let alone stupid!

He has realized the current situation of the Kingdom of Cecil - if it does not catch up, then the Kingdom of Cecil will sooner or later repeat the mistakes of Rez! It is for this reason that the Kingdom of Cecil was able to send students to study in Idal immediately after receiving the news from Viscount Danielson , and began to try to accept the views of the Idal School and purchase arms from the Principality of Idal.

"Should we test the Church of Light?"

Bruno couldn't help muttering as he looked at the new current situation map hanging in the study, and the Idar territory which had expanded several times in just a few years.

The news from the Lost Land had reminded him that the Principality of Idar would certainly become stronger with the passage of time, but... wouldn't the Church of Light also become stronger? Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help but shout out to the door, "Claire?"

The voice fell,

Idar CIA Director Krell came in and said, "Your Excellency the Duke."

Due to the SS-level confidentiality, this intelligence from the Lost Land was compiled and presented by Claire himself.

So, he had been waiting outside the study.

"What has the Church of Light been doing during this time?"

"foreign?"

Bruno shook his head and said, "Inside."

"Perhaps because winter is coming, the Church of Light has been trying its best to avoid direct conflict with us since occupying the Kelvin Basin. But at the same time, they have not shown any intention of launching an attack on the Kingdom of Cecil and other forces. It seems that they are more or less willing to stop the attack."

"But internally..."

"During this period, the church seems to have become addicted to the sale of indulgences. It has been working hard to promote indulgences of different levels, and... recruiting people to build statues."

"A statue?"

Bruno couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Yes! It's the giant statue located on the ridge outside the holy city of Bethlehem!" Claire confirmed.

Bruno naturally knew about the construction of the Colossus.

Probably right after he had just crossed over, the Regency Council at the time issued a special order to recruit personnel from the noble territories in various places. Even the Idar Territory sent out a construction team.

It was also with the help of this opportunity that Bruno's confidant Mike successfully infiltrated the Church of Light and provided a lot of extremely important top-secret intelligence to the Principality of Idar.

According to the rhetoric at the time, the reason for building this huge statue was for the descent of the gods three years later...

etc!

Bruno seemed to suddenly remember something, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

He vaguely remembered...

When the people were being recruited to build the statue... the church or Mike seemed to have mentioned... that the statue was built for the God's descent ceremony to be held three years later.

At that time, Bruno, who had just traveled to this world, was still an outstanding young man of the new era who insisted on atheism, so he just laughed at such remarks.

But,

As his understanding of this world deepened, Bruno had completely accepted the fact that gods existed, or that gods once existed.

So, now that I think about it...

If we count from the day the Idarites arrived in the holy city of Bethlehem, three years from now... wouldn't that be next year?! Next year!

No wonder the Church of Light, even though it has intervened in the situation on the continent, still hasn't forgotten to repair the dilapidated statue located in the holy city of Bethlehem! Bruno really didn't know what the statue was used for.

but……

Adhering to the principle that if the Church of Light supports him, he must oppose it, Bruno has made his decision in a flash: "Claire, listen to my orders!"

"exist!"

"Draw up a special operations plan, the purpose is to destroy the statue in the holy city of Bethlehem!"
