Chapter 401 Secret Base

Hintland Kingdom, Bilvia City.

In the Pope's Chamber in Stormspire, Andre Williams angrily threw the documents in his hand to the ground and slammed the table hard.

"Bang!"

Although the black walnut furniture was strong, it could not withstand the furious attack of a fifth-level transcendent. The desk shattered and documents, papers and pens scattered all over the floor.

After venting his anger, Andre let out a long sigh and waved his hands weakly: "Clean up and move to another table."

On the night of the red moon two days ago, Dagon attacked the city again, and the enemy's attack was much more fierce than last time.

At the same time, countless fishmen and deep divers rushed towards the city like crazy, and many mines in the defense area were tripped by such attacks.

The Storm Spire unleashed twelve thunderstorms before it was able to stabilize the situation, and the energy consumption of the protective array was extremely high.

If this happens once a month, the energy stored in the array will be mostly consumed within a few years.

With the rise of large steel ship manufacturing industry, ocean voyages have refreshed everyone's understanding of the world.

People have discovered that the ocean is much larger than this continent, so the creatures in the ocean are also richer than those on land.

In this case, the source of the evil god's soldiers is wider than that of the Church of the Lord of Storms.

What made Andre angry was not only the attack on the city of Bilvia, but also the fact that the protective magic circle of a parish was breached on the night of the red moon.

Azshara, a prosperous city with a population of more than 400,000, became a battlefield, and no one succeeded in breaking out.

Andre estimated that there should still be survivors in the sanctuary under the city, but the rescue troops did not dare to land at all, as there were still a large number of murlocs and deep divers hiding in the ruins of the city.

Once, two silver-rank cardinals led a team of fifty elite third-level soldiers to try to break through the siege and enter the sanctuary, but they were quickly killed by the hidden enemies.

The food stored in the sanctuary is always limited. If the enemy cannot be repelled, the survivors will be forced to leave the sanctuary, where death will await them.

Archbishop Basel Booker glanced at the Pope and saw that his mood had eased a little. He said:

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

The bloody facts have proved that it is impossible to open the road to the various sanctuaries in the city of Azshara by relying on the fourth-level extraordinary people.

Unless the Pope is willing to take action personally, but this involves another problem. If the hidden enemies are at the fifth level, then the Pope’s situation will be very dangerous.

Andre pondered for a moment and said:

"First, send out the airship troops to carry out a high-intensity bombing on Azshara to shatter the buildings on the surface, leaving the enemy with no cover to hide."

The sanctuary is located seven or eight meters underground, and the bombing has little impact on it, which is why he dared to bomb it.

However, doing so would consume a lot of the ammunition in stock. There are not many new ammunition factories of this type in the Kingdom of Sintland. If the consumption is excessive, it will have to be imported from other countries, which is another considerable expense.

He paused and made up his mind: "After the bombing is completed, I will personally lead the troops to rescue possible survivors."

"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous, you can't..."

Andre waved his hand and said firmly:

“Don’t say any more, I know the pros and cons of this matter very well.

If I fail to stand up, it will be a huge blow to the church members, and we cannot afford the consequences.”

When the lower-class believers believe that the church can no longer protect them, they will inevitably become confused.

In an age when evil gods are reviving, people need guidance even more than ever.

If they began to distrust the church and the Lord of Storms, it was inevitable that they would seek new support.

Evil gods are particularly good at bewitching people. If they take advantage of the situation and sneak in, they will definitely become a polluter.

Ordinary people are the foundation of the church. Without a solid foundation, the church building is not far from collapse.

Therefore, Andre must shoulder his own responsibilities, not only to take the initiative, but also to win beautifully.

No matter how difficult the road is, the heritage of the Holy See cannot be destroyed in our own hands.

Basel tried several times to persuade the Pope, but he could never find the words.

He also understood the situation and knew that the Pope had made the right choice, but it was this right choice that brought greater risks to the Church.

The Church of the Lord of Storms currently has only one fifth-level transcendent, the Pope. If the other party makes a mistake, the church will be left without a leader.

Basel lowered his head, sighed, and said:

"Since Your Majesty has decided this, I will dispatch the most elite combat team to escort you.

The fish people don’t like to come out during the day, so no matter what the search and rescue intelligence is, we must end the search and rescue team at dusk.”

The Pope must not be in any danger, otherwise the church without a backbone will soon be defeated when facing a powerful attack.

"I won't joke with my life," Andre looked out the window.

It was evening now, and the clouds in the sky looked like a furnace fire.

Basel's thoughts drifted far away, and he asked himself more than once, what is the meaning of the Kingdom of Hinterland's persistence?

Most of the pressure brought by the evil god's revival fell on this ancient kingdom.

He was considering whether to activate the church's top-secret plan and lead most of the elite troops to retreat deep into the mountains.

The church has a very large secret base in the Iberian Mountains, where the terrain is dangerous and there are sufficient material reserves.

This base has a history of thousands of years, and it was built to cope with the situation today.

If we retreat into the Iberian Mountains, we can avoid the attack of the murloc troops.

If there were no obstacles like them, the murloc troops would have migrated to inland countries on a large scale long ago. In that case, the whole world would have felt the pain they are experiencing now.

The rose-gold wings flapped gracefully, and although the frequency seemed slow, the speed provided to Crown was extremely fast.

In his hand he held a golden spear surrounded by silver-blue spots. This was a spear of spiritual power that embodied the law of the sun's true fire, and it also stimulated the laws of thunder and lightning.

As for how to stimulate the law of thunder and lightning, Clown already had a guess in his mind.

The core of visualizing the Golden Light Mantra is to cultivate and strengthen one's life energy. The life energy is the yang side, which corresponds to the law of the sun's true fire.

But the Golden Light Mantra emphasizes that yang is born from yin. After all, the human body is the product of the combination of yin and yang. The interaction between yin and yang generates the law of thunder and lightning, which is very reasonable.

He waved his hand lightly, and the spear of light in his hand disappeared instantly and appeared thirty meters away.

It was not because the speed was too fast to be captured by the eyes, but it actually disappeared in this space and entered the "subspace".

During the extremely brief period of time that it entered the Warp, this Spear of the Sun did not exist in the real world.

Klauen didn't understand the principle, but he felt that this ability was somewhat similar to the Void Rift skill.

However, the Void Rift comes from the Hourglass of Time, which is an application of abilities within the scope of the Law of Time, but the Spear of the Sun is at most a combination of the Law of the Sun and the Law of the Moon.

"Could it be that the combination of the solar law and the lunar law can stimulate the element of time?"

Crown fell into deep thought. His flying speed slowed down and the whistling of the wind in his ears became fainter.

He felt that he had grasped something vaguely, but the feeling was very vague, like sand between fingers. The more he tried to hold on, the less he could hold on.

After a long time, Crown suddenly shook his head. Since his thinking had yielded no results, he let the question go.

At this time, he found that the city of Bray was already in sight, and the huge red dome of the main hall of St. Peter's Basilica appeared in his field of vision.

Then, a heavy sound came from the bell tower.

"We have finally reached our destination."

Crown let out a breath. After flying all the way from Hamers City to Bligh City without sleep, his body was already quite tired.

Seeing the destination right in front of him, he relaxed slightly, then he closed his eyes and summoned the golden wall.

[Flying Magic: 38526/50000; Level 4]

[Spear of the Sun: 3156/100000; Level 1]

This long, high-intensity flight that squeezed out all the potential also brought considerable benefits, with the proficiency in the art of flying increasing by more than 1,400 points.

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

By the time he returns to Hammers, the flying magic will have been completed by 80%.

What he hadn't expected was that the Spear of the Sun had also become a 'skill'. This ability was actually based on the Golden Light Curse, and logically speaking it couldn't be included in the Golden Wall.

However, this also confirms his speculation about the ability of the Spear of the Sun from a certain perspective. This skill is not a vassal ability of the Golden Light Curse.

With a new attack skill to grind, and an enhanced version of the "Sun Thunder Seal", he began to practice a lot of deliberate practice.

Along the way, trees, monsters, and various animals bear witness to the power of the Sun Spear.

Any living creature that comes within the attack range of the Spear of the Sun will be killed.

The dead turned to ashes, which were blown away by the strong wind, and their ashes were scattered all over the place.

Crown discovered that the bones of these dead were also completely destroyed by the power of the law. Wherever the Spear of the Sun fell, everything turned to charcoal.

Judging from the attack strength, this skill has reached the peak level of the fifth order.

That is to say, if the Spear of the Sun goes one step further, he will have a regular ability of a sixth-level attack strength.

The consumption of releasing the Spear of the Sun is also not small. Not only does it consume life energy, but it also consumes Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew.

However, in terms of attack strength, this skill is still worth the money and is fully worth its consumption.

Crown slowed down his flying speed and got closer and closer to the city of Bligh. He could already spot a small patrol airship not far away.

In the cockpit of the airship, the pilot waved to him and seemed not surprised to see him.

Crown returned the greeting with a smile, began to lower his flying altitude, flew at a low altitude, and finally landed at the city's airship parking lot.

As soon as he landed, he saw a fat man with a completely horizontal body running towards him.

Although it is spring, it is still very cold in the Kingdom of Farouk.

The fat man ran over, sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

He steadied his breathing, a warm smile appeared on his fat face, and his originally small eyes narrowed into a line:

"Is this Lord Crown? Hello!"

The fat man bent over with difficulty, and his already very flushed face turned even redder.

Crown guessed that the other party must not be able to see his toes, and what surprised him even more was how the other party recognized him.

The last time I came here was more than half a year ago.

In addition, he came to Bray only a few times, and after arriving in the city he spent most of his time in St. Peter's Basilica, rarely interacting with people.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so well-known.

"Yes, how did you know it was me?"

“Your image is known to all high-ranking priests in the entire city of Bligh,” the fat man moved his body to the side, as if he wanted to see where the other party had hidden those dazzling wings.

“Sir, my name is Tony Box, a third-level priest, working in the airship management office.

Are you visiting St. Peter's Basilica? I can arrange a carriage for you."

Crown nodded and replied:

"Yes, I want to meet His Holiness the Pope. Thank you for your enthusiastic help, which is exactly what I need."

Flying over the city of Bly would be too conspicuous, and unless it was an emergency, Crown was unwilling to do so.

"It is my honor to serve you," Tony's smile widened. He leaned slightly and stretched out his arm:

"This way, sir."

The two walked forward one after the other, and soon they got on the carriage.

When Clown saw Tony had actually gotten on the carriage, he was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Sir, don't you have to take care of official business here?"

Tony waved his fat palm and said with a smile:

"I don't have to be on duty today. I came here to deliver a document. The document had already been delivered when you landed."

He looked outside the car alertly, reached out and closed the curtains on both sides, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Sir, I plan to send some relatives to Hammers City. Don't you know that housing there is tight?"

Klauen nodded, then shook his head: "Hammers City is currently under construction and it is estimated that it will take another two months to complete. By then, the supply of houses will be greatly eased."

He looked at the fat man meaningfully and said, "Others are trying their best to stay in big cities, why do you want to go to a small city like Hamers?

The defensive strength of the protective array in Hamers City is far inferior to that of the capital of the diocese and the seat of the Holy See."

People go to high places and water flows to low places. He couldn't understand how this fat man could think of doing this.

"Hey, hey," Tony rubbed his hands together and said:

“You are the first fifth-order extraordinary person in the entire continent, and you are born into an ordinary family. I believe that your future will not stop here.

I think Hammers City will definitely become a big city. It has the best warriors in the continent, and its safety is very guaranteed."

He sat up straight and said frankly:

“Don’t be afraid of your laughing at me, but I think if the city of Bray were to encounter a very urgent situation, I would not have the opportunity to seek refuge in the sanctuary with my qualifications.

In the city of Bly, I am just an ordinary church member, but in the city of Hammers, my status will be much higher. "
