Chapter 310 Undercurrent

Crown didn't know that the enemy was hiding in order to prepare a big move to deal with him.

His heroic performance in several proactive attacks made the decision-makers of the Kurud tribe change their battle plan. They unanimously decided to use resources to train fifth-order extraordinary people before taking the initiative to attack.

After all, killing a fourth-level silver warrior is as easy as killing a chicken. Without the restraint of a corresponding strong person, it is like having a sword hanging over your head when going out to fight. No one has the courage to act as a pioneer.

Lannister sat in his seat with a calm expression.

The Brotherhood was a force that was forcibly recruited, and if there was no war, they would need to provide very few resources. Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all.

Cavendish frowned. "Intelligence shows that the cultists' camp has been built into a fortress. If we choose to storm, let alone how to transport so many soldiers, we don't have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of troops. We can only break through from other aspects."

The airship bombing force has been targeted by the enemy, who have developed a kind of flesh alchemical beast. This monster looks like a large rotten bat and can launch self-destruct attacks.

In short, whenever the airship troops were discovered, they would be greeted by swarms of flying bats.

With scarlet eyes flashing, these beasts bravely rushed onto the airship and performed a spectacular explosion of flesh and blood.

Bats seem to have no sense of pain, and being hit by the machine guns of combat airships will not affect their combat effectiveness, unless they are hit by artillery and broken into pieces.

The airship could not withstand such a suicide attack and suffered heavy losses. The manufacturing cycle of the airship is very long. If the enemy had not had enough suicide bats, the airspace of the Rhine Diocese might have fallen.

As the spokesperson for the Pope's will, Theo said in a deep voice:

"The current situation puts the Vatican under tremendous logistical pressure, and most of the goods being transported are bulk goods such as food and fodder. The transportation cost is higher than the value of the goods."

Rhine City is not the main grain producing area of ​​the Farouk Kingdom. The grain originally produced could barely sustain the local consumption. Now with tens of thousands of more extraordinary people, the city is suddenly stretched to the limit.

Although Rhine City is the defending side, it cannot afford to delay.

Now that the troops have dispersed, all edible wild beasts and monsters within a radius of dozens of kilometers have been turned into meat reserves, but the gap is still large.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, necessary training is indispensable. The soldiers have a great demand for calories and the reserve food is consumed quickly.

Crown tried hard to recall the cases in his previous life, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

The originally hoped-for bombing plan was thwarted, so we can only try long-range attack methods, and long-range artillery can be given a try.

However, how to ensure the safety of the artillery camp is a big problem.

In addition, transporting artillery is also a problem. The mountainous terrain is rugged and it is difficult to find an available shooting point. It is likely that engineers will need to be sent to level out an area.

Thinking of this, he felt a headache.

There was a lot of discussion in the meeting room, but no practical solution was ever put forward.

Flanders suppressed his annoyance and said in a deep voice:

"Observe for another half a month. If the situation remains as it is now, we will launch a strong attack."

He knew very well that the troops from other parishes could not be stationed here forever, and each parish had its own problems to face.

However, if a group of the cultists' active forces are not wiped out, Rhine City will not be able to cope with subsequent attacks.

Theo whispered a few words to Flanders, and the Archbishop nodded calmly, then stood up and announced, "The meeting is over. Cavendish and Crowne will stay, and the rest of you can leave."

The others left quickly, leaving only four people in the meeting room.

Theo said, "If we choose to attack by force, the losses of the troops will be huge, which will be disadvantageous to maintaining the church's rule over the kingdom."

Clown narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is there any other force in the kingdom that can fight against the church?"

The Church of the Lord of Fire has been rooted in the land in the north of the continent for countless years. He does not think that any force can challenge the authority of the church.

In his opinion, the church's hegemony will only be challenged after the evil god truly revives, but not now.

Theo's eyebrows drooped, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly:

“The Saxon family now has the support of the big factory owners and is unwilling to be suppressed by the church forever.

Recently, I received a secret report that the Saxon family now has at least two silver-level warriors."

The Kingdom of Farouk is also known as the Saxon Dynasty, which means that the king's bloodline comes from the Saxon family.

Flanders nodded slightly and said, "I understand the Pope's concerns. We will think of other ways to deal with the attacks of the cultists."

Theo stood up and bowed respectfully:

"My Lords, since the King has not made public the matter regarding the Saxon family, His Holiness the Pope wants us not to spread it."

"We understand."

"Your Excellencies should still discuss military affairs. I will take my leave first," Theo stepped back and left.

Clown sat up straight and asked, "The church's control over the kingdom is not as strong as I feel."

Although he had heard Nick describe the situation in the kingdom, from what he saw and heard later, he found that the church was the only dominant force and had no apparent rivals.

The city of Bray is the seat of the Holy See and the capital of the kingdom. However, during his stay in Bray, he did not discover any conflicts between the royal family and the church, nor did he hear anyone talk about any groundless information.

I was a little shocked when I heard this situation suddenly.

He had not paid serious attention to the undercurrents of the kingdom, but he had some discernment.

If the situation in the kingdom has reached its current state, there is no reason why clues cannot be discovered.

Flanders was silent for a few seconds, then said:

“In the areas you’ve been to, whether it’s the Rhine Diocese or the City of Blaise, the church’s power is unrivaled, so it’s normal that you didn’t notice it.

The power of the king's side is mainly concentrated in the south of the kingdom, especially in several provinces bordering the Kingdom of Ribia.

The city of Bly is nominally the royal capital, but the king spends more than half of the year in the city of Felston in the province of Leihart.

The kingdom’s true administrative center is not the city of Bligh.”

The archbishop leaned forward and continued in a very low voice, "The Saxon family has the blood of the God of Fire and has three branches. When the church was first established, the king also served as the Pope.

Later, the Saxon family had an internal struggle for the throne, which shook the family foundation and the position of Pope fell into the hands of others. "

He turned his head and stared at Clown with burning eyes: “Now that the spiritual concentration in the world has increased, I guess the blood of the gods is more sensitive to spiritual changes.

If the Saxon family were to regain their former glory, they would certainly claim the position of Pope.

The evil god has revived, and the contradiction between royal power and divine power has become more prominent. It is truly a troubled time."

There was a son of God's bloodline in front of him. Although he couldn't figure out which god's bloodline it was, there was no doubt that the other party's strength was expanding like a balloon.

Clown bared his teeth and asked uncertainly:

"The Saxon family is in turmoil, and the position of the Pope has fallen into the hands of others. The church's library will not include these secret messages. Where did you get this information?

If the gods come to the world again and see that the power that belongs to their descendants is taken away by outsiders, how will the Pope end up? "

In the church's scriptures, God has gifted the Pope to be his spokesperson on earth. Now that the spiritual concentration in the material world is increasing, the material world and the Kingdom of God are getting closer and closer.

When the two dimensions connect and gods come to the world, wouldn't the current Pope be very embarrassed?

Cavendish said leisurely, “The McLean family is one of the few ancient families left on the continent, and their influence spreads across several kingdoms.

The history of the past is considered secret to us, but in the library of this family, there may be records. "

Flanders waved his hand and did not recount the glory of the McLean family. Instead, he answered Crown's question: "To the gods, it doesn't matter who is the pope, whether it is the descendants who are alive now or someone else. As long as they can pass on the glory of the gods and make the church glorious and strong, they are all good popes.

I don’t know how many generations these descendants have been passed down, and the blood bond between them is very weak.

What I am worried about is that a violent conflict between the king's forces and the church's forces will leave a mess and give the evil gods an opportunity to take advantage of it."

As the spiritual tide recedes, the kingdom of gods will return to the sky, and the revived evil gods will fall into slumber again, but the struggle between the various forces in the kingdom on earth will never end.

Before the Red Moon Incident, there would be a major war between the churches, between the kingdoms, and between the nobles of the kingdoms every thirty or forty years on the continent, and small-scale battles never stopped.

If it weren't for the sudden changes in heaven and earth, the continent would still be in turmoil.

Cavendish suddenly interjected:

"According to past experience, Pope Osman De Luke only has 20 to 30 years to live. Even if he is too greedy for power, his life limit is irreversible.

If the Saxons are wise, they will not start the rebellion until more than ten years later."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

“Who can predict what will happen in the future? I hope the kingdom can remain at peace until that day.

I don't understand why Osman is still on guard against the Saxons, as he doesn't have much time left.

The evil god is about to revive, shouldn't we maintain stability?"

Flanders spread his hands indifferently and said with a little fatigue:

"The most important thing facing us now is how to break the impasse. The cult tribe is like a nail nailed there. If we don't cripple them, the Rhine Diocese will not have a peaceful life in the future.

It seems that it will be difficult to carry out a violent attack."

Crown thought for a moment and said, "Then we will build a batch of very simple airships, as long as they can fly, the purpose is to consume the enemy's air force.

There aren't a lot of those self-destructing giant bats, so after we consume a batch of them, we'll send out the real bombing formation.

If the enemy doesn’t come out, we will force them out.”

Flanders thought about it for a while and nodded:

"This is the only way. I will notify the Rare Object Manufacturing Association.

You have also been to the cultists' camp recently. Are the enemies still hiding there?"

Crown smiled bitterly: "Yes, seeing me coming, those units flying in the air also landed back.

I don't know the strength of their camp, and I can't rush in rashly."

During this period, he did not achieve any victory, but he traveled frequently between the two places, and his proficiency in the art of flying increased a lot, otherwise he would have been even more uncomfortable.

"Okay, meeting adjourned."

. . . .

36 Baker Street.

The war had not yet begun, and Crown did not stay in the barracks at night, but returned to his mansion in Rhine City.

When the carriage returned to the mansion in the afterglow of the sun, a huge round white bear that had been waiting at the door stood up and raised its fleshy paws.

Crown got off the carriage and saw Arcturus with a wronged expression, and asked:

"Again?"

White Bear nodded hastily.

After this period of domestication, the pet grew rapidly in size, and the soul damage caused by the removal of the original owner's contract mark was also healed.

Although the white bear is huge in size, its hard power is far inferior to that of the third-level Fujin and Buster, and it has been beaten up many times by the two veterans.

Raven and Cat Noir were also savvy enough not to cause any obvious injuries.

Crown just laughed it off and did not go out of his way to support Arcturus.

"Grow up quickly and get your revenge later."

"Woo" the white bear whimpered and followed its owner with a staggering gait.

In the setting sun, the shadows of a man and a bear folded on the wall.

After dinner, Crown checked the work of the trainers and when he saw that they were not slacking off, he let them move freely.

As usual, Fukin grabbed Buster and started the 'duo's' night life.

The polar bear enjoyed a rare moment without being bullied, so he happily ran back to his den to meditate.

The master gave it the Golden Light Dao Seed a few days ago and told it, "If you want to become stronger than Fujin, you must spend enough time meditating every day."

It is very motivated to seek revenge.

Crown came to the training ground, released bullet time, and began to practice barbaric breathing.

During this period of time, he has been insisting on using the time hourglass, but for some reason, this spirit control has not yet advanced to the fourth level.

However, after his constant exploration of the Barbarian Bone Breathing Method, he has mastered it, which is currently the best way to practice it.

The power of qi and blood was activated, and the shadow of the dragon flew up and down with his movements.

The muscles and bones work together, and the invisible force strengthens the bones and internal organs.

Whenever silver blood was produced, the waste blood would evaporate out of the body along with the flow of blood, and red mist would evaporate around his body. After the exercise, Clown felt refreshed.

He pulled up a chair and sat quietly, allowing his surging blood to calm down.

It is best to visualize the Golden Light Mantra when the body is in a peaceful state, so he took this opportunity to summon the golden wall.

[Golden Light Mantra: 51642/300000; Level 4]

[Barbarian Bone Breathing Method: 40581/50000; Level 4]

He estimated that his breathing technique would be advanced this month, and that the Golden Light Mantra would be able to be raised to 100,000 points within half a year.

The changes in the kingdom have nothing to do with him. He just wants to gain experience in peace.

A fifth-level transcendent cannot control the situation of the kingdom with his fists, but what about a sixth-level transcendent? What about the divine rank of the stigma gold? In a world where personal power belongs to oneself, it can only be achieved with strength, and many things are at your fingertips.

He doesn't need to fight for anything, someone will bring it to him.

To others, training day after day may seem boring, but that’s because they lack a plug-in that allows them to see their progress all the time.
