Chapter 540: Clash of Concepts

The meeting was held on time at Moya Manor. Clown looked around at everyone and slowly said:

"The Red Moon no longer appears in the world, but we are facing a new threat.

Whenever I leave Shattrath, I can feel something uncomfortable in the air.

There is already evidence that an unknown evil has risen from its previously unknown grave and has re-entered our world.

These evil gods were left behind in our world during the last holy war, and their resurrection may very well mean that the fusion of the two worlds has entered its final stage.

Send troops to search for the residence of the evil god hidden in the gray fog. Only by determining the location of the evil god can I carry out a focused attack. "

Geralt looked embarrassed and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, if the troops go too deep into the gray fog, it is likely to cause unforeseen casualties.

Marching in the fog for a long time will confuse our sense of direction.

The Night's Watch has always suffered heavy losses. If the casualty rate increases, it will affect the image of the church.

Another point is that even if a force finds the location of the evil god, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the news back."

If the troops discover the evil god, they will inevitably appear in the evil god's field of vision. How can they possibly come back alive?

If he could come back, I'm afraid he wouldn't be a human.

Eliza knocked heavily on the table and said coldly:

“My Lord will not let his followers die. If the troops find a gathering place of a large number of evil creatures they have never seen before, they do not need to continue exploring, but can just come back and report.

In addition, various combat machines manufactured in Loch Modan will gradually be equipped to the troops.

If we only rely on our flesh and blood to fight against the evil gods, wouldn’t it be a waste of our brains?”

Ten thousand years have passed since the last holy war. The evil gods are sleeping in dark corners, and their strength has not stopped growing.

But the human world has been developing. For example, the emergence of interstellar spaceships will inevitably change the pattern of war.

She believed that if the evil god only relied on his minions and did not participate in the battle himself, humanity's victory would be a foregone conclusion.

Flanders straightened his back and said with a smile:

"I understand what my Lord means. He only needs us to scout out the potential location of the evil god's lair. He doesn't care what method we use.

The use of reconnaissance artifacts is already common, and light sources that can penetrate the fog and flares that can temporarily disperse the fog have also been developed. If it is just reconnaissance, it will be easier than we think. "

He paused and continued, “I have read the casualty reports of various troops, and I found that several commanders did not attach much importance to the application of new technologies, and the Night Watch was the worst.

I don't know if it's because Sir Geralt has a natural obsession with hunting monsters himself or for some other reason, but he prefers to have his troops put on armor and pick up swords to face the monsters directly.

The use of various firearms, coordination with golems, air support from starships, etc., are rarely used. "

Flanders thinks this is a disease and needs to be cured! If he has always insisted on the idea of ​​uniting all the forces that can be united to fight against the evil god, this is the key to human victory.

The use of new war machines is also equivalent to uniting new forces.

The biggest difference between humans and monsters is that humans can create various tools and use them to conquer the world.

Human bodies are not as strong as monsters, so they created armor. Humans do not have powerful long-range attacks, so they created bows and crossbows and guns.

Now that we have a weapon like the Starship, we must use it! Geralt raised his head, his white hair fluttering slightly, and said in a firm tone: "Only by engaging in a bloody fight can we face and defeat the fear in our hearts.

What my Lord needs is a warrior who can face the evil god and dare to launch an attack, not a weak person who hides behind and shoots. "

In his opinion, only qualified soldiers can maintain their combat effectiveness under the evil god's polluted aura.

Hand-to-hand combat with various monsters can sharpen one's reaction and will.

Flanders shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"The special weapons and sword oil used by demon hunters, the leather armor you wear, and the various potions you take are essentially external forces. How different are they from using new weapons? If we can destroy the enemy from a distance, why bother rushing up to fight hand-to-hand!"

He felt that if the church had thousands of spaceships, the evil god would not dare to appear openly, otherwise he would be killed by a salvo of fire.

The gap between the sixth and seventh levels is indeed huge, but the accumulation of quantity will inevitably lead to qualitative changes.

Another point is that human beings can only accumulate confidence through continuous victory.

There are people who witness their comrades falling down beside them every day and yet grit their teeth and persevere, but how many of them can do so?

“I don’t agree with Sir Geralt’s philosophy either. Although the time it takes for humans to grow from babies to be able to fight is much faster than before, I have counted that the number of humans in various cities is not increasing very fast.

The two worlds have not yet merged, and with the current population of the Church, I think it will be difficult to cope with the huge casualties that will inevitably occur in the future."

Nick expressed a different opinion and continued, "The premise of strengthening the soldiers' will should be to ensure that more people survive.

Rubart submitted a report on the possibility of creating an armor that could resist the impact of mental pollution.

If such equipment is available, the requirements on soldiers’ willpower can be greatly reduced.”

He always held the view that only by having a sufficient population base can one have greater potential for war.

Silver-level extraordinary people can form a secret formation to deal with attacks at the evil god level, so is it possible to connect the mental power of low-level extraordinary people or even ordinary people to form a new defense mechanism?

Among the wizard's spells, there is a skill called mind barrier, which is used to isolate mental shocks.

Although the mental power of ordinary people is weak, if we can find a way to condense it, it is not impossible to resist mental shock and pollution.

Nick expressed his own views and concluded: "The church is training a large number of magic array talents. I have already assigned a research topic to the magic array department to gather mental power to provide protective skills similar to the mental barrier."

Crown's eyes lit up and he smiled and nodded.

The church's magic circle can gather the power of faith and refine it into holy water. In essence, the power of faith is also a kind of energy. There is no problem in changing the mindset and releasing the spells that transform these energies.

Just like what he had done in the Holy Tower of Light, he drew energy from the Holy Crystal to release the Spear of the Sun.

At this moment, he had a feeling that he had inadvertently discovered that his child had grown up.

Over the years, I have been constantly improving my skill proficiency to protect my subordinates, just like raising a child, and now I am starting to get rewards.

Flanders was overjoyed and said with a smile:

"Rubart actually has such a mindset? Yes, all departments of the church have new achievements that can greatly reduce combat losses."

Janice remained silent. Her extraordinary talent was very strong and she could solve most problems on her own. On weekdays, she did feel that those new weapons were of little use and difficult to use.

But he is not a member of the Silver Dawn, and many of them are low-level transcendents.

Chloë lowered her eyes, thinking about what everyone was discussing.

All members of the Knights of the Silver Hand are silver-level transcendents. Wherever they go, no monsters can contend with them, and they have the lowest desire for new weapons.

Crown tapped the table lightly, and the crisp sound echoed in the room.

"I am very pleased. In the past, I was the one who talked and assigned tasks most of the time, but today I saw a different atmosphere.

This is very good, keep it going.

We will discuss the search for the evil gods' hiding places later. According to the information I have received, three evil gods have appeared in the church's jurisdiction.

There is one on land near the town of Lorente and another in the nearby sea.

The other is near Lordaeron City in the southwest. I will send an additional spaceship to these two areas. I hope to have results within half a month."

The time when the spiritual world and the material world begin to merge is just around the corner. He hopes to resolve the hidden dangers as soon as possible and enhance his own strength at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Recently, the hourglass of time occasionally sent him warnings, alerting him that he might encounter danger, and the probability of danger was not low.

As for the source of the danger, Yu Ling couldn't explain it clearly.

The time hourglass is now at the seventh level, able to capture a vague picture from the long river of time.

He was already an eighth-level god, but he was actually in danger, which made him alert.

How to deal with a crisis? Improving yourself is the simplest and most beautiful thing.

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

As long as you are strong enough, you will not be afraid of any challenge.

If he could advance the Golden Light Spell to the eighth level, he would not be able to rest easy, but at least the danger would be greatly reduced.

Geralt opened his mouth and wanted to refute. This was inconsistent with the philosophy he had practiced all his life.

However, he did not say any words of opposition. The gods had already clearly pointed out the future direction, and all he could do was to execute it.

Eliza nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will gather more people at the Cathedral of Holy Light to discuss a practical solution."

"We will intensify the search efforts while ensuring the safety of the believers as much as possible."

Crown set the tone for the matter. He pondered and said, "There is one more thing, the patrol schedule of the Lorente Town troops.

Patrolling for too long will cause extreme mental fatigue and pose a great risk."

He recounted the story of how he saw seeds of spiritual power in the soldiers of Lorente Town, and proposed to ensure that the soldiers got enough rest.

If prolonged tension causes the seeds of spiritual power to grow, worshiping once a week alone may not be able to prevent the growth of the seeds.

Since these seeds are nourished by one's own emotions, they will avoid the purification judgment mechanism of the magic circle.

The parasitic incidents that occurred a few years ago are a warning.

Janice's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said:

"The patrol system of each city is formulated according to the intensity of the battle. The purpose is to eliminate more monsters and evil spirits around the city. It is difficult to ensure that the soldiers have enough rest."

Although the church’s troops are numerous, there are even more places where people are needed.

Flanders said:

“I think this problem actually has the same solution as the first problem raised by my Lord, which is to improve the application of new weapons.

I have a suggestion. We can produce some small spaceships. They don’t need to have strong attack power, but they just need to ensure safety and speed.

The nuclear load is less than ten people, providing highly mobile reconnaissance, which can greatly reduce the number of rounds of ordinary patrol forces. "

"I agree," Nick immediately agreed, and Fanny also supported him.

Eliza nodded slightly and said:

"It seems that the importance of Loch Modan City is highlighted."

A large number of the church's new weapons are produced in the city of Loch Modan. This medium-sized city, which once belonged to the border of the Kingdom of Ribia, is showing signs of becoming the second city of the Ming Cult.

"Lok Modan City inherited the legacy of the Church of the God of Knowledge. We gathered all the high-level talents of the Kingdom of Ribia there. It is not surprising that we have achieved such success."

Flanders smiled from the bottom of his heart. Every bit of growth of the church made him excited.

It was he who proposed and was responsible for the idea of ​​gathering all talents to build a mechanical holy city.

He turned around and faced the God of Light:

"Your Majesty, I suggest increasing the number of Moon Soul Aura Arrays in Loch Modan City to expand the city.

This city means more to us than any other, second only to Shattrath."

Loch Modan is the undisputed arsenal of the Church, providing the production of the vast majority of mechanical creations.

By expanding the city area, more arsenals can be built and more new weapons can be produced.

"I agree." Clown thought for a moment and said, "The church has accumulated a lot of high-level materials, and we can build a few more Holy Towers of Light.

Prioritize the construction of the Holy Tower of Light, starting with Loch Modan."

He has already created a second magic circle for producing holy crystals. Now that the power of faith has become more refined, there are enough raw materials to produce more holy crystals.

The seeds that were once planted are beginning to bear fruit.

The church grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short period of time, it caught up with the accumulation of other churches in an era.

He is now very much looking forward to seeing what the scene will be like when the high-level golem army and the star spaceship army fight against the evil god.

Using "technology" to defeat the evil god is a good idea and worth trying.

With him personally backing them up, even if they fail they won't be seriously hurt. In the realm of the supernatural, he is confident that he can rival any other creature.

Unless he encountered an evil god who controlled the higher-level laws of time, he could not imagine the possibility of his failure.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Flanders smiled and said that this was support and affirmation for him.

“As long as it is beneficial to the church, it is worth trying. Today’s meeting ends here.

Janice, Chloë, and Geralt, as commanders of the church's army, you must recognize the significance and role of new weapons in the future."

Klauen understood that if his power was enough to solve the problem with one attack, he would certainly not pay much attention to those creations.

If he had not experienced the baptism of technology in his previous life, he would certainly have the same thinking.

He really wanted to see whether the highest level of technological power could cause fatal damage to the evil god.

The highest mode of the Holy Tower of Light can release seventh-level attacks. If it can restrict the movement of the evil god, it is very likely to cause direct damage to the evil god.

The Holy Tower relies on magic arrays, and in his eyes, magic arrays are a variant of technology.
