Chapter 417: Popularity
The news of the fall of the Kingdom of Hinterland has spread across the continent, casting a shadow over the world.
No one had anticipated this situation, and the original plans of the churches may have to be overturned and started over again.
In Moya Castle, the morning light shone into the study through the window, casting golden spots in the room. Clown said to the envoy who came from the city of Bly: "It is my duty to share the worries of the church. I am willing to respond to the Pope's call.
However, I have had new insights into my extraordinary path in recent days, and I am afraid that I cannot come to Leihart Province in person. Please ask the special envoy to convey this message to Your Majesty."
The smile on Figo's face froze suddenly. He did not expect that the other party would refuse His Majesty's order.
The Pope's announcement did not use any coercive words. Instead, it politely invited the other party to go to the front line of the war and offered quite generous rewards.
Before the mission, he thought the other party would gladly agree to help the church, but he never expected this result.
"Sir, when I was leaving, His Majesty repeatedly told me to invite you.
You also know how great the influence of high-level extraordinary people is on the battlefield situation.
In addition, as the strongest person in the Farouk Kingdom, your presence on the battlefield will greatly boost morale."
Clown listened to the messenger calmly, and when he finished speaking, he explained:
"I understand your Majesty's expectations, but I do have important matters to deal with.
I will dispatch an elite force from my private army to assist the church, but I personally cannot be there."
Now, the most important thing for him is to find out the path to advance to the Golden Stigmata. Everything else can be put aside.
In addition, he also understood the terrain of the Leihart Province. If the Church only defended, the minions of the evil god would have to pay a huge price to cross the mountains and enter the heart of the province.
The reason why the Pope asked him to go into battle was probably to reduce the losses of the church troops.
To be honest, if he was just slaughtering the fishman troops, he could be called a meat grinder on the battlefield.
But then again, he had already done all the work, so why would he need anyone else? As a person in a higher position, how could he do everything himself?
Seeing his firm attitude, Figo did not continue to persuade him. He was secretly angry in his heart, but he did not dare to show any displeasure. The other party was a fifth-level transcendent, and it would be easy for him, a third-level transcendent, to be crushed to death.
"Bishop, I will convey your wishes to His Majesty.
I wonder what level of troops you have decided to send, how many people there are, and when are you going to set off?"
Crown thought for a moment and replied:
"The team of one hundred people is composed of all extraordinary people of the second level and above, including twenty extraordinary people of the third level. I will appoint Bishop Nick as the commander.
Bishop Nick is one of the leaders of the Hammers Diocese. He has achieved the silver rank for more than a year.
As for the departure time, we need a day to prepare and will set off at noon tomorrow."
He sent out some of his most elite troops to let them feel the intensity and precautions of fighting against the evil god's minions.
He had no experience in this area because he had always been the stronger party in the battles against the minions of the evil god.
When these people return after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, he will have a group of available veterans.
Then, by adopting the method of old leading new, the combat effectiveness of the family armed forces will increase rapidly.
The offensive of the fishmen army sounded unstoppable, but that was because the areas they attacked were all within the river basins, and the terrain of Leihart limited this favorable factor.
This battle is just right for military training.
"Okay, the bishop has made all the arrangements."
A smile appeared on Figo's face. Although this troop was small in number, they were indeed elite. In addition, with a silver-level transcendent in charge, they could be used as the main force.
At the same time, he was secretly surprised at Crown's background.
Being able to dispatch a force of this size and strength can truly be called a great family in the kingdom.
However, from the intelligence he had learned in the past, his impression of this bishop was still that of a "powerful loner".
"The envoy must be tired after traveling all the way. Why don't you go back to the guest room and rest while I arrange matters for the expeditionary troops."
Figo stood up, bowed and said, "It's all up to the bishop."
After the Vatican envoy left, Crown told the servant, "Billy, go ask Eliza to come here."
"Please wait a moment," Billy followed the order and went out.
After a while, Eliza came in hurriedly and asked directly:
"What is the purpose of the Pope's envoy's visit this time? Didn't they say that several dioceses in the north have great autonomy?"
The situation in the world today is beginning to deteriorate, and she feels that someone is up to no good.
Crown pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down, we'll talk slowly."
He recounted the incident slowly, and then said, “The four dioceses in the north do have a great deal of autonomy, but when we have the means, we still have to help brother dioceses in need.
Fighting against the evil god is a long and difficult task. It is impossible to achieve final victory with just a small group of people."
The evil god can corrupt and transform humans into his followers. Even if a person dies on the battlefield, if the body is not destroyed in time, he or she will become the evil god's minions.
As one thing grows, the other shrinks, and humanity's war potential will slowly be exhausted.
He told her his plan in detail. Eliza's expression relaxed and she nodded continuously: "You are right, I will select a group of elite soldiers to participate in the actual combat. By the way, do you have any arrangements for the adjutant of the team?
Nick can only be considered our ally, not the family's private soldier. We must send a real one of our own to serve as adjutant."
Clown nodded slightly. He had many choices to make, all of them were third-level transcendents who had received the Golden Light Dao Seed.
However, he prefers to train the old people in the past.
Del went to the town of Lorente, so that was ruled out; Lorraine was weak in character, so that was ruled out; Melissa had always been the commander of the team and could take on this role.
“Let Melissa be the adjutant. Although her talent is not as good as Janice’s, she is serious about her work and is usually very diligent.
After some practice, maybe you can achieve the silver level."
"That's what I thought."
Eliza smiled softly and continued:
"If the family can cultivate a few silver-level extraordinary people, it will be the first step towards becoming a top family."
They now have three fourth-level trained beasts. If there are a few more silver-level transcendents, the Moya family’s foundation will be strong enough.
The corners of Clown's mouth curled up: "Equip the troops with various supplies. Don't be stingy."
The purpose of sending people to fight was to train the basic team for a strong legion, and every life was precious.
"Don't worry about me, I won't make any mistakes. Have you achieved any results from your training these days?"
“Somehow, I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to the right path.”
Clown's expression became more lively. The progress of integrating the power of the domain was quite rapid. He expected that it would not be long before he could see the fruits of his efforts.
"I'm looking forward to it," Eliza felt her breathing quicken. Every time she thought about her husband becoming a god, she became so excited that she couldn't control herself.
But besides being excited, she was also a little sad. The gap between them was getting bigger and bigger, and they would slowly lose their common language, which she could not accept.
Recently, she has been working very hard to improve herself in order to prevent the gap between the two sides from widening further.
Eliza stood up and said, "I will draw up a list now and prepare various combat supplies for them."
After his wife left, Crown leaned comfortably on the sofa and summoned a golden wall.
[Spear of the Sun: 37582/100000; Level 1]
[Flying Magic: 21656/100000; Level 5] (Special effect: Wind Speed. Consumes spiritual power and increases flying speed by 50%.) After the flying magic was raised to level 5, his speed increased by about 50% compared to level 4.
Coupled with Fengxing's special effects, his flying speed reached 2.25 times the previous speed, and it only took him an hour and a half to get from Hamers to the town of Lorente.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As for the extra spiritual power consumed, it was not worth mentioning to him.
As the Sun and Moon Altar operated for a long time, the speed at which the sun's essence and the moon's essence condensed in the altar became several times faster than at the beginning.
His reserves of sun essence and moon essence had reached more than seven thousand drops, and were increasing at a rate of one hundred drops per day.
With enough solar and lunar essence, he is a perpetual motion machine on the battlefield. As long as the enemy cannot resolve the battle quickly, he can outlast the enemy.
There is no one of the same level who can deal with him quickly.
In other words, in a battle where no gods are present, he is an unstoppable existence.
Crown walked out of the study, came to the underground training ground, and began his practice journey.
He continued to release the golden light field, and carefully felt the state of the field at the moment of release. He felt that the layer of window paper was getting thinner and thinner.
As long as he finds the right direction, he is not afraid of any difficulties or obstacles.
I’m afraid that I don’t have the right direction. In that case, the harder I work, the further away I will be from the truth.
The setting sun stands on the top of the distant mountain, and the sky is dressed in golden red.
In front of the airship's viewing window, Figo pointed forward and said:
“At the foot of the highest mountain under the setting sun is Atlanta, the largest city in the Leihart Province, and also the front line to stop the attack of the fishmen.
When I set out for Hammers, the battle had already begun. We must hold this city, or the entire southern part of the kingdom is in danger of falling."
Nick nodded slightly and said quite easily:
"I have studied the terrain of Leihat Province. The Taina River flows down from here. We only need to arrange troops upstream to block the murlocs. It is almost impossible for them to enter Leihat by water.
If we go by land, the fighting capacity of the murlocs will be severely reduced after being away from water for a long time, so there is no need to worry about it."
Figo shook his head, sighed and said, "If you participate in the battle with this mentality, you will definitely suffer a great loss.
The proportion of high-level extraordinary creatures in the murloc army is much higher than you think, and the number of murlocs is large. Before launching an attack, they know how to drive low-level murlocs to consume the energy of the magic circle or consume our physical strength.
In short, the murlocs are very cunning, and they will even lure and ambush our troops who are responsible for going out for a cleanup.
In addition, we found that the fishman army had a new type of equipment, a green water bag that was only the size of an ordinary person's head, but could store the amount of water in a large wooden barrel.
With this equipment, the murlocs can stay on land longer, so our combat advantage is not great.
They use a small house-sized shell to store seawater. The shell of this shell can absorb incoming attacks. Only attacks above level three can harm the shell."
As he spoke, Nick's expression became serious. Things were more difficult than he had imagined.
Melissa frowned and pressed her eyebrows together. She asked with a serious expression:
"How resistant are shellfish to spells? Have you ever tested it?"
“When I left Porto-Ivoire, I hadn’t caught live shellfish yet.
What I know is that many shellfish have the ability to create their own spiritual shields, which they can use to block incoming attacks."
The airship slowly landed in the city's parking lot. Figo led the troops to a camp, bowed slightly and said:
"Everyone, you have to bear with it for a while tonight. You have to camp here first. I will notify the logistics team to deliver dinner to you.
Your defense is not yet determined, so please don't move around.
I will report to the two princes in charge of the city's defense and see what arrangements they have for you."
Nick nodded and said gently, "Okay, messenger, please do as you please."
Figo bowed again: "Goodbye, sir."
He left in a hurry and jogged all the way to the headquarters.
Responsible for the city's defense are Laisen Saxon and Lexis Saxon.
When he saw the princes, he immediately bowed solemnly and said:
“Your Highnesses, I have just returned from my mission to Hamers City. Lord Klauen claimed that he had more important matters to attend to and did not come to participate in the battle.
However, he sent an elite troop, led by a silver-level transcendent, and twenty level three transcendents. Their team commander is waiting outside now, would you like to meet him?"
Sean said solemnly, "Tell them to have a good rest and attend the tactical meeting tomorrow morning. You are responsible for bringing their leader to the headquarters."
"Yes, sir."
After Figo turned and left, Lexis sneered and said, "Klauen didn't come. Maybe he felt that he was strong enough and didn't need the help of the church. Doesn't he know that if he is willing to join the battle, many of our soldiers will not have to sacrifice!"
The Pope tried to invite the other side to join the war in a nice way, but was rejected so bluntly, which made him furious.
However, he could only sulk and complain, as he had no right to offend the majesty of a sixth-level transcendent.
Sean narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Since Clown has reached the sixth level and asked the Pope for the secret method of advancement, it means that he is very likely to have touched that threshold.
He said there were more important things to do, and maybe he really had some insights.
If I were him, I probably wouldn't come to fight.
To say the least, with such great support from the church, our defense is not difficult, at least for now. Even if Crown doesn't come, it won't affect our victory."
