Sanchez brought Lynn and the others into the conference room, where hundreds of wizards were gathered, noisy and arguing, all discussing the disastrous defeat they had experienced not long ago.

Aurora, who had set out first, had already arrived, and even Vittorio had arrived here as well, apparently having also rushed here the moment he received the news.

After Lin En and the others were seated, Harov suppressed the arguments in the meeting room and spoke solemnly.

"This disastrous defeat was indeed due to my negligence!"

The timing of the Vatican's expeditionary force's attack was certainly accurate, and the magic that allowed the entire legion to approach stealthily was also extremely special, but if they had been alert enough, they would not have realized something was wrong until someone got close to them.

“It seems that the long-term victory has made us a little slack.” Vittorio shook his head.

However, Harof was actually cautious enough. He sent most of the airships to explore the surroundings before the war. No one would have thought that a legion of tens of thousands of people could sneak in quietly.

If it were me, I would probably fall into the trap as well.

"How did they do it?" Aurora was quite interested in this. With her mastery of polarization magic, she could make a musketeer team of hundreds or even thousands of people disappear from sight and march secretly. But that was a legion of tens of thousands of people! Invisibility alone was not enough. Every step of those giants, who were seven or eight meters tall, would probably shake the mountains and the earth. There was no way to hide.

"Could it be the territory of the Kingdom of God?" Lin En suddenly reminded.

When he was fighting with Edwyre in the royal capital, he noticed that this thing was very strange, and the inside and outside were like two completely different spaces.

"It's possible!" Vittorio nodded. If this was true, it was not good news. The other party was able to expand the territory of the kingdom of God so much, so its strength was undoubtedly much stronger than they expected.

"Master Lin En, you stayed behind alone to cover the rear just now, you should have figured out the other party's background, right?" Harof straightened his face and asked.

The range and power of [Sunshine] cast by Lin En surprised even him. The one who could break this magic and defeat the magic projection in a short time must be a legendary priest.

The other two speakers also looked over, especially Aurora. She was the most surprised when she heard Harov talk about Lin En single-handedly stopping the Vatican's expeditionary army.

She flew all the way over to rescue them in a hurry, but Lin En's avatar actually solved the problem...

Lin En pondered for a while, then swept his right hand across the table. A layer of water curtain suddenly emerged, reflecting two figures.

A man and a woman.

The man was about fifty years old, wearing a golden robe, with a slender figure and a solemn expression.

"This is Joshua, the chief judge of the Holy See! He should be the one who fought with me on the Misty Sea before." Aurora pointed out the identity of one of them.

All the wizards present nodded. It was not difficult to confirm that the Chief Judge was one of the five legendary clergymen of the Holy See.

As for the other one...

"Saint Lucia, I didn't expect that she also possesses legendary power." Harov said in surprise.

However, according to their intelligence, the position of the Saint is rotated every few years and is held by nuns in their teens. The only thing they have in common is that they are all good-looking and cool and beautiful.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a show put up in the open to fool the poor.

It is a bit too exaggerated that such a person can perform legendary magic.

You have to know that they spent half their lives using tricks to achieve this, and they have not yet truly set foot in the realm of legend...

The gap is so huge that it is despairing! "I don't think it is that easy, otherwise the legend of the church would have been rampant long ago." Vittorio interrupted.

The candidates for the Saint changed frequently. Maybe they were unable to bear such a powerful force, so they were forced to rotate. The previous Saints were also missing. According to the church, they were sent to serve the gods... Most likely they have died! "But they only sent two legends. This is really..." Vittorio's expression was weird. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Maybe there are still other troops that haven't arrived yet. Anyway, this is good news!" Harov's expression eased a little.

This means that they temporarily have a certain advantage in high-end power, so it is best to take the initiative and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop before the opponent's support arrives.

According to Harov's guess, the false god is the source of power for these divine magicians. As long as this source is eliminated, the empire and the church will collapse! The key to this battle is how to force them to open the gate to heaven at the right time.

"The location of the decisive battle should be as open as possible to avoid accidental injuries." Harov added. "It would be great if we could lure out the Saint or the Chief Judge."

The wizards present immediately started discussing these two points. They needed a complete plan and a response plan for unexpected events.

Raphael even suggested that they could follow Edwell's example and dig a tunnel to sneak into the oil city. They would make a feint attack from the outside while several speakers and the magic star Lin En carried out the decapitation operation.

In this way, even if the magic gets out of control in the end, the casualties will only be the imperial legions and citizens in the city, and it will not affect their own people.

Harof and his companions, who had witnessed the power of a nuclear explosion, looked at each other and shook their heads. Raphael obviously underestimated the new magic developed by Linn. Once that thing got out of control, let alone standing outside the city, even those several kilometers away would be torn to pieces by the shock wave.

However, Raphael's proposal is still very constructive and can be used as one of the alternative options.

"Master Lin, what do you think?" Vittorio thought this plan was pretty good, as long as it could be guaranteed to be foolproof and not affect the outside world.

Lin En pondered for a long time and did not give a direct answer, but suddenly asked, "Chairman Vittorio, how far is this place from the oil production area?"

"If the information I received is correct, the straight-line distance is about ten kilometers," Vittorio replied.

"Bring the map to me!" Lynn stood up, took the parchment scroll handed over by a wizard, carefully examined the terrain of Mist Territory, and soon came up with an idea in his mind.
