In the northern continent, the God of war church is well-known as the largest church, because its support is the Federation of the northern principality, which has formed a climate. Although the northern principality Federation cannot be compared with the St. Joels empire in terms of the top powers, on the surface, the principality Federation also has the posture of a lion. In particular, the northern principality Federation is located between the Emilia Empire and the St. Joels Empire, forming a perfect natural buffer zone.
Neither the Emilia Empire nor the St. Joels empire could sit and watch the territory of the northern duchy fall into the hands of the other party, so once one party sent troops, the other party would certainly send troops. In this way, naturally, the northern principality Federation will completely fall to each other. This situation is undoubtedly something neither of the two empires want to see. Because of this, the two empires will allow the Ares church to grow.
As for the idea of letting the two empires join hands to destroy the God of war church, it is not without consideration, but the plan is not feasible.
Because the close neighbor of the Emilia empire is the Millennium covenant Empire, this country will not miss any opportunity to invade the Emilia Empire - although this time the Emilia Empire has found a good opportunity because of the civil strife of the Millennium covenant Empire, it is a pity that the problem this time lies on the side of the St. Joels empire.
Not to mention that the St. Joels Empire has suffered heavy losses now, even if there is no battle of fate, the result of completely tearing face with the Maggie Empire due to the incident of the Principality of rumbel also makes the Millennium covenant Empire dare not light up the war. Otherwise, the Maggie Empire did not mind completely annexing the Principality of rumbel by force, and let the holy puppet Legion go around the St. Joels empire.
For various reasons, the northern principality Federation controlled by the God of war church has more room for development, so that it has completely become a big problem for both the Emilia Empire and the St. Joels empire. However, the Federation of the northern duchy has always liked to fight against the St. Joels Empire, so the Emilia Empire felt good and even secretly supported it.
However, with the fate of the post-war, the northern principality Federation has entered a dormant mode, and the St. Joels Empire had to keep a low profile because of its great vitality.
At this time, the twilight church began to become high-profile.
Their belief in the northern continent was finally recognized after defeating the Dark Knight Order of the St. Joels empire. Just because of the complexity of the belief pattern in the northern continent and the stability and firmness of the belief area, the belief dissemination of the twilight church is very difficult. Therefore, they have to carry out the strategy of going south.
The so-called spread of faith, in fact, can not escape the means of war.
As an old saying goes, the original accumulation of capital is bloody and cruel.
In fact, whether it is the God of war church, the morning light church, or many churches in the northern continent where the situation is particularly chaotic, the grass-roots establishment of their beliefs is very bloody. Because they will take the missionaries and members of the Knights of other churches and the most devout believers as pagans and eliminate them most thoroughly. As for the leaders of other shallow beliefs, they will generally show mercy, but this does not mean that there is nothing.
On the contrary, for many shallow believers, their end is not as comfortable as being burned directly as devout believers. After the spread of faith, these churches also need property to maintain the spread of faith in a region, so the confiscation of property and other acts are naturally allowed by the rules.
As for the aristocratic lords in the territory, these churches have the same means to deal with them.
If the strength is strong enough, it is natural to make some compensation to the Lord in exchange for the right to spread faith, and some of the confiscated materials will be distributed as tribute after dealing with pagans. However, if they are weak lords, these churches do not mind using force to declare their positions and beliefs.
This is the war of belief propagation.
In the history of the whole miracle continent, only two churches have not experienced such bloody accumulation.
One is that no one is willing to offend the goddess of Life Church.
The other is the Church of the goddess of snow and winter. Many churches do take a fancy to the territorial purity and religious piety of Sean's empty principality, but it is a pity that what they can give is not as simple as the goddess aiswentel, so it is naturally impossible to obtain the power of communication. As for the desire to conquer by force, those churches gave up this tacit understanding after studying the history of the Great Duke of nothingness Sean.
At this time, a black square flag fluttered in the wind.
The bottom color of the flag is silver. A crescent moon is painted with black dye. It looks like a dark moon emitting soft moonlight.
This is the flag of faith belonging to the twilight church.
The way of spreading faith to the south is not smooth for the twilight church, but there are almost no twists and turns. Few times encountered strong resistance, and they were successfully solved by the dark moon gun Knights themselves. The real reason for delaying this way of spreading faith to the south lies in the intrigue of high-level figures within the church. Because if the faith areas are divided according to the territory laid down by the twilight church, there can be at least five cardinals and 15 cardinals, not to mention other powerful spiritual leaders under the Cardinals.
This is a division of interests and an irreconcilable conflict. Everyone who wants to run for the next Pope wants to put more of his own people in high positions.
In this regard, Elsie, who is responsible for the military commander on the road of belief dissemination, has been watching coldly.
He neither expressed any opinion, nor was he eager to seek rights for himself like other church knights. All his actions seemed to be really just to make the twilight church stronger. But only a few real powerful Cardinals knew that Elsie's ambition was greater than any of them, so big that even if they joined hands, they could not stop Elsie's way forward.
Therefore, under the huge power gap, they chose compromise - not so much compromise as ostrich. As long as it does not involve their own interests, they don't care what Elsie plans to do or how to do it.
Anyway, now, all the three artifacts of the twilight church have been concentrated on Elsie, which makes everyone, including the Pope, know who is the real favorite of the twilight goddess. In today's Twilight church, although Elsie is not a real high-level figure, almost two-thirds of the church armed forces have made it clear that they only accept the orders of head Elsie, and all other church orders are only kept at the minimum level of guard.
"Captain Elsie." A young man with a little tender face rode a tall thunder running beast to Elsie's side.
The young man looks about 18 or 9 years old. His skin is dark and his hair is red. He is tall and slender. When riding a thunder running beast, he gives people the illusion that he is integrated with the thunder running beast. All this shows that the young man is a typical Cang savage.
Cang savage is a branch of nomadic people, but the blood of this branch has a certain blood of grassland elves, and its ancestors are semi elves combined with grassland elves and humans. Because of this, Cang savages were particularly proficient in riding, archery and swordsmanship. Later, they developed the art of riding and shooting. However, this branch of ethnic groups has always been wandering around the northern continent and never stayed in one place for too long, so it is also very difficult to recruit them.
This time, it was Elsie who saved more than a dozen savages who were almost sold as slaves while personally solving the trouble. After some thinking, several of the dozen Cang savages finally expressed their willingness to join Elsie's dark moon gun knights. As for those who did not want to join, Elsie was not embarrassed and directly let them leave.
At present, the Cang savage who came to Elsie is the strongest of the several Cang savages he joined. In particular, he is also particularly good at tracking, detection, search and other capabilities, so he was promoted one after another soon after joining the dark moon gun knights. Now he is a powerful figure under the dark moon gun knights, second only to head Elsie, deputy head Cassius and three dark moon thousand cavalry commanders.
On the way south, the dark moon gun Knights have undergone a series of expansion and reconstruction, from the original establishment of 500 people to the establishment of 5000 people. Originally, according to the meaning of the twilight church, it was directly expanded into a 10000 member Knights' order and given the prefix title of "Twilight". But this request was rejected by Elsie, because Elsie pursued a real elite army, not a useless army.
Therefore, under Elsie's personal supervision, review and selection, the gun of the dark moon was expanded into a corps of 5000 people, which was divided into five thousand troops, including the gun of the twilight, the shield of the twilight, the armor of the night, the eye of the night light and the shadow of the deep darkness. Their names correspond to the five artifacts given by the twilight goddess, but now only the twilight gun, twilight shield and night armor remain, and the other two have been destroyed in the war in the ash age of the past.
In fact, in the twilight church's military establishment, these five taboos, together with the twilight knights, correspond to six knights that used to be the main force of the twilight church. However, after Elsie requisitioned the names of the five artifacts, the names of the five Knights will naturally be cancelled. In addition, the name taboo that the twilight church had intended to grant Elsie the name of "Twilight" and was rejected by Elsie, these six knights are also another third of the armed forces of the whole Twilight church who do not obey Elsie's orders.
Among the five knights, twilight gun, twilight shield and night armor are the main battle forces, which are respectively commanded by Elsie, Cassius and another dark moon thousand cavalry commander. However, although it is the main combat force, it actually has its own different emphases.
For example, the twilight gun is famous for its penetration. The standard configuration is a heavy cavalry gun, a heavy sword and a uniform cavalry heavy armor.
Twilight shield is good at array charging. The standard configuration is also heavy cavalry gun, heavy sword and cavalry heavy armor, but there is also a heavy shield. In order to have enough load-bearing ability, the mount of the twilight shield force is not a thunder running beast with excellent foot strength and charging ability, but an Earth Dragon beast famous for its load-bearing ability.
The armor of the night is a force that is good at attacking difficulties in the front. In addition to retaining the cavalry heavy armor, other configurations are the standard configuration of the earliest dark moon gun: a black cavalry long gun, a black wide body heavy sword and a thunder running beast.
The eye of the night light is the unit responsible for investigation and tracking. It is the only light cavalry in the dark moon gun knight regiment. In addition to the cavalry spear, it also uses a knight's long sword, a long bow and an arrow bag filled with 50 arrows. Its armor is also light leather armor.
The shadow of darkness is a force that exists as a reserve force. The configuration of this force is more diverse. It usually has three sets of equipment to adapt to different combat situations. In fact, the shadow of darkness is the essence and essence of the whole dark moon knights, whose main components are members of the Knights of the former dark moon gun, but only in this way can AI Xi be assured that they will act as an important reserve force.
The Cang savage who came to Elsie was the Centaur of the second unit of the night light eye. The whole people of the night light eye army know that this young knight, who has recently become a popular man in front of Captain Elsie, will be the designated candidate of the next night light eye thousand cavalry commander if there is no accident. Although this makes many people feel slightly uncomfortable, the strength of the Cang savage is also obvious, so it's uncomfortable, but at least everyone is convinced.
"Captain!" When the young man came to Elsie's side, he hardly needed his command. The thunder running beast spontaneously slowed down and stopped completely when he came to Elsie's side. It can be seen from the skilled riding skills of the cangye man, "I'm back!"
"It's NAR." Elsie did not look back, but still stared at the south, "how?"
"The investigation has been completed. There are no enemies around who need our dark moon gun." The cangye man named NAR said, "but if we go further, it is the jurisdiction of the trade capital. According to your instructions, we did not enter rashly. However, there seems to be some dissatisfaction from the Archbishop's college. He insisted that we should be responsible for protecting him from entering the trade capital. "
Elsie raised her eyebrows slightly: "which archbishop is taking the lead? Archbishop laronne, or Archbishop Peixian? "
"Archbishop pesian." Nall answered.
"The flies." Elsie said coldly, "don't pay attention. They want to negotiate with the people in the trade capital and let them go by themselves. You will order all church knights for me and don't allow them to enter the jurisdiction of the trade capital Although it is a free faith area, it has always been very exclusive of all missionaries. Even the St. Joels empire will not argue with the trade capital about the spread of faith, let alone the twilight church, which has just improved. "
"Yes." Nall nodded respectfully, "so... What shall we do next? Defend on the spot The church is worried that people from other churches will infiltrate our new faith area. "
This time, the way of the twilight church's southward spread can be called a great momentum.
In addition to the six church knights who did not obey Elsie's orders and the local guards, the remaining two-thirds of the church knights, with a total of 100000 people, were sent out. In addition, there were almost 200000 newly recruited church recruits and 100000 church guards. The 400000 combatants alone spent more than half of the savings of the twilight Church over the past century, and the logistics force even exceeded 800000.
This time, the attitude of the twilight church is very serious, and its ambition is naturally huge.
At present, the newly occupied belief communication area certainly can not completely meet the ambition of the church. If Elsie stops the belief campaign at this time, the twilight church will not lose anything, but it can also be said that there is no gain, which is only proportional to the cost of this mobilization, This is absolutely unacceptable to the senior members of the church.
Elsie also knows this.
But what he knows more is the behemoth that prevents them from going south: the trade capital must not be infringed, otherwise the loss of the church will be very heavy, and the hard fought new faith communication area may be compensated. Therefore, there are only two options left at present: either defend on the spot and completely consolidate the faith stability in the new faith area; Either take a detour to the east or west to bypass the trade capital and continue to spread the teachings of the twilight goddess.
But in this way, there is likely to be a god war in the earthly church.
Because the belief pattern in the southern continent has basically been completely stable. If the belief area is still expanded by slaughtering pagans, the churches that have been rooted in the southern continent for many years will never agree. Once a divine war breaks out between the two churches, there are many things to be involved and taken into account. If the strength gap is large enough, it's OK. If it's close, it's easy to be profited by others.
This time, the twilight church did not set the main target area, but just said to go south, so there is actually a lot of room for operation.
"Prepare the gun of the dark moon, and all other church knights and guards will stay. Later, I will divide the defense area for them to garrison." After a little meditation, Elsie finally said, "tell them that the primary goal at present is to help defend the layout, ensure that missionaries of other churches will not infiltrate, and avoid the second war in the faith area. In addition, let them prepare for the battle according to the sequence echelon I will announce later. Once we seize the space of the new faith area in other areas, they must come and take over the defense at the first time. "
A glimmer of excitement flashed in NAR's eyes: "so what's our goal?"
"First go to the kingdom of Ryan and enter the Millennium covenant empire through St. derons fortress." Elsie said faintly, "spread our doctrines and beliefs along the way."
"The kingdom of Ryan may be OK, but the Millennium covenant empire... I'm afraid it won't allow us to preach." NAR frowned. He didn't distrust Elsie's judgment, but he was a straightforward man. If he had any doubts, he would ask them at the first time.
"If not before, but not now." Elsie smiled, "now the Millennium covenant Empire should be in a mess. They will certainly welcome us very much Especially our twilight church has some expertise in dealing with undead creatures. "
"Undead?" Nall was stunned, "Why are there undead creatures in the Millennium covenant Empire Is the tide of death breaking out again? "
"No, it's more serious than the dead tide." Elsie said in a deep voice, "I don't know who opened the door of the bones. Hey, it's a little big, but it also gives us an excuse to enter Others may not be of much use in this war, and only our dark moon gun has the combat power to confront the undead Army Of course, I'm a little selfish. "
"Eh? Captain Elsie would be selfish? " Nall said with a smile.
"Yes, I have a friend who wants to see you again anyway." Elsie's indifferent face showed a rare smile, "if it weren't for him, I'm afraid there would be no me now So, anyway, I want to see him again and see how he's doing now. By the way, let him see me now. "
"I'm curious about the person who can keep you in mind." Nall smiled, "is that your fiancee?"
"No." Elsie shook her head. "He's a man."
"What?" NAR showed a disappointed look of disappointment.
……
When Elsie made the New South action policy, ten people in the trade capital also focused their attention on it.
As representatives of the top ten chamber of Commerce alliances of the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance, they need to be responsible for not only the affairs of the chamber of Commerce, but also the joint defense of the whole trade capital and some foreign decisions every day. Although their reputation has been greatly damaged in recent years, first the head and tail snake plan in the whole wilderness has been completely destroyed, then the gray shadow black market has been fatally hit, and then they have been caught in the action against the void duchy, which has completely torn their face from the void duchy.
It can be said that all the prestige attacks of the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance are related to the Archduke of the void principality.
However, the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance has no way to retaliate.
In terms of military operations, they don't have any famous generals. Even if they can forcibly build an elite division with advanced equipment, they don't think they can win with their military ability in the face of the empty principality with two ten generals and many battlefield veterans. Moreover, Sean's command is not without strong legions. The names of the three main legions are almost resounding in half of the southern continent.
As for the strong, at the beginning, the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance may still win, but they can't use it rashly. The chamber of Commerce Alliance sent strong killers to kill an aristocratic Lord. This kind of thing is simply challenging the aristocracy of the whole miracle continent. They can't compete with the whole world without the powerful force of the peace Parliament.
Therefore, in this embarrassing situation, it is natural that the reputation of the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance will be damaged.
In this regard, they can only take the form of economic sanctions.
But I don't want to think that the void principality has found a new way to alleviate the economic pressure, which makes the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance somewhat helpless. The final result, that is, out of sight and out of mind, simply ignored the relevant things of the void principality and continued to do their business.
It was not until the twilight church suddenly made a high-profile move south that it finally attracted the attention of the top ten chambers of Commerce and the capital of trade.
With Elsie's decision, the policy of the whole Twilight church began to adjust, and the presidents of the top ten chambers of commerce still sat in the conference room in silence.
"The big forces of the twilight church are stationed in place. It seems that they want to consolidate their faith in these areas." Finally, someone broke the silence, "but the chief paladin of the twilight church led the gun of the dark moon to the south, just bypassing our trade capital."
"What is the goal?" Someone spoke again.
"They should be planning to go to Ryan Kingdom, but I think they should be planning to go further."
"Millennium covenant empire..."
As soon as the name came out, there was another silence in the conference room.
"Now almost all the strong people in the whole southern continent have noticed it?"
"We must also take action. The opening of the door of bones is not a joke. If we can't resist it, I'm afraid the whole southern continent will be completely occupied soon, and even we can't protect ourselves at that time." A middle-aged man said, "I think we should reinforce the war in the southern continent at this time, which will also help us recover our damaged reputation."
"Material support is no problem, but this time when the door of the bones is opened, the smell is too strong, and the combat level involved is probably not low. If we are also involved in the war..."
The president of the chamber of Commerce didn't finish his words completely, but the people present were not fools. They couldn't understand him.
Although the pan continental chamber of Commerce Union is a collection of businessmen 'interests, especially the trade capital, there are also a large number of strong people here. The strong people in the holy land can be seen almost everywhere, and even the legendary strong people can be seen occasionally. However, the 13th and 14th levels are already the limit, and there are only one or two legendary top strongmen in the 15th level. As for the higher-level super strongmen, there are none. This is also the weakest place in the trade capital and the pan mainland chamber of Commerce Alliance.
It's normal for several super strong people to fall when the door of ectopic surface such as the door of bones is opened, if there is no accident.
If the legendary top powers of the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance fall in this war, it will be a very terrible thing for the trade capital that has always maintained its autonomous status. After all, without the deterrence of the top powers, it does not need the rise of the seven empires. The several kingdoms bordering the trade capital are enough to pose a strong threat to the trade capital.
Before, Elsie didn't advance to the trade capital because he was facing each other with a legendary top power of level 15 in the trade capital.
As for Elsie, who is now equipped with the three artifact of Twilight gun, twilight shield and night armor, it is not without the power to fight with the two strong men in the trade capital. However, if there is a full-scale war, the twilight church will never become the biggest beneficiary, or even a winner. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Elsie chose to give up and did not intend to start with the delicious fat of the trade capital.
At least, this fat meat still has very hard bones, and several teeth will break out if you are not careful.
Soon, the top ten chambers of Commerce in the capital of trade reached an agreement: they can provide free material support for the war opened by the gate of bones at a minimum, and other important strategic materials can also be discounted accordingly. However, it is just material support, and will not send strong people for battlefield support.
……
A legend has recently appeared in the death trade route of the Federation of the northern principality.
Lucky old horse hatas.
Originally, a trip to the death road, even one-way, may take one, two or even several years, let alone customs clearance. The fastest record of customs clearance in history is the record maintained 50 years ago: three years and seven months. It was a huge caravan. The leader was an old man with 12 customs clearance records, accompanied by seven Warcraft scholars and 20 hunting masters. In addition, it was an elite legion with combat power comparable to level 6.
But this record was broken by hatas.
In the last year, hatas has cleared customs twice in a row!
Moreover, the volume of goods he trafficked each time was several times that before, which made the team he led make a lot of money in an instant. All of a sudden, hatas became the hottest leader of the chamber of Commerce in the death trade route. Almost some people offered a high price of 5 million pan continental gold coins to hire hatas as as the business leader of their chamber of Commerce, and they could also share 10% of the profits after all goods were sold.
In the face of such a high income, no matter who is not interested.
However, hatas was very distressed at this time.
Others may not know why he can pass the death trade route so smoothly, but hatas, as a party, is absolutely very clear. The reason why he can pass the customs smoothly is not himself, but the two people he took in before: Diane and Edward.
More than a year ago, he took Edward in on the trade road, and then Diane came to the door. The two have remained in his caravan. After that, their journey became smooth. They could even walk for more than ten hours a day like the outside world. In this way, the customs clearance time was greatly shortened.
But now, the two real cash cows are leaving. How dare hatas take that list?
"Really not going with me?" Diane asked as she sat on the roof of the clock tower, shaking her feet and drinking wine.
Edward, sitting next to Diane, raised his eyebrows and looked contemptuous: "what do you want a demon king to do?"
"The door of the bones has been opened." Diane whispered, "you don't know?"
"You asked the demon God who should have destroyed the world to help you save the world?" Edward chuckled. "It's the funniest joke I've ever heard since I was born."
"Well, but I know you're not." Diane said seriously, "you don't want to destroy the world at all. You like the world more than anyone, don't you?"
"Hum." Edward snorted coldly and stopped talking. He just poured his own wine.
Diane did not speak, so she sat on the roof, looked into the distance, and said to herself, "I know, you are just cold on the surface. In fact, you like the world, or the plane very much Otherwise, your oath to become a demon God is not against the devil, the devil and the dead. Now the door of the bones is opened. It's your enemy, isn't it? "
"Do you believe that after I went, those guys solved me first?" Edward said coldly.
"I don't believe it." Diane said without hesitation, "those guys are not so stupid Compared with the threat of the gate of the dead, your threat is not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, as I said, I am the only one who can kill you, and I will never allow others to kill you. "
"By you?" Edward glanced at Diane and said coldly, "now almost all the strong people in the whole southern continent have gathered in the past, among which only the super strong people don't know how many. How many blocks can you block? One? Two? "
"Stop it until I can't stop it." Diane said faintly, but the meaning in the words showed a great confidence, "how about it? Are you going with me? "
"No." Edward refused without thinking about it.
"All right." Diane didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
They never spoke again, as if they had lost their interest in speaking, but drank wine silently.
A moment later, Edward suddenly reached out and pushed Diane.
Diane blinked her slightly blurred eyes and said, "what's the matter? Have you figured it out and want to go to the southern continent with me? "
"I just want to tell you that the wine is gone." Edward said faintly, "go and get some more."
"You don't know where the wine is. Why don't you go by yourself?"
"Do you want me to destroy the whole city?" Edward raised his eyebrows. "If so, I don't mind."
"OK, when I'm afraid of you." Diane stood up and patted her ass, "wait for me here. I'll get some wine back, but don't wait for you to run away when I come back."
"How wordy." Edward curled his mouth, then lay back, slept on the roof and took a nap.
Poor Diane could only reluctantly shake her head and tear open the space barrier to buy wine.
After Diane left, Edward, who seemed to be taking a nap, sat up again and looked South: "the door of the bones... Sean? What would you do? "
……
In addition to miracles, many strong people in the mainland look to the south continent. At the same time, some people also look to the opening point of the door of the bones on the floating island above the sky.
Andrew and Gypsy fought side by side. Their eyes seemed to penetrate the barriers and look at the dark land.
"Don't you do it?" Andrew asked.
"That's not what I should deal with." "It's my brother's duty and a test given by the will of the world. Just as the test given to me was the evening of the gods Speaking of it, the Lich King came here because of you. What about you? Why not? "
"Will you stop me if I do it?"
"Yes." Gypsy said without thinking.
"Then it's over." Andrew rolled his eyes, "you sons of the world, just have a lot of trouble However, I owe him a gift. I want to give it to him. You can't stop it, or I'll turn against you. "
"I'm just in time. One of the gifts I promised to give him hasn't been sent out yet." Jeeplier said faintly, "but after this gift is given, the real delivery is probably over, and you and I will leave here completely."
"It's a pity that I can't see his heroic posture of closing the door of the bones." Andrew sighed with some regret.
"You are very optimistic about him." Gibriel finally glanced sideways at Andrew.
"Do you think I'm good?" Andrew didn't answer the question.
"Well... It's really great." After thinking for a while, jepriel nodded slightly and said, "if you want to, you can destroy the whole world Even now, if the laws of the world did not suppress your strength, and if the place of our confrontation was changed to the empty battlefield, I would still not be your opponent. Not to mention that there are so many powerful people around you. "
"But does this have anything to do with your being so optimistic about him?" Gypsy remained puzzled.
"Of course." Andrew laughed, "because ah, he and I are from the same plane! It's the same race! It has the same belief! Since I'm so good, how can Sean, who is my same race, not be good This is a ridiculous joke in the world. Don't say there is only one Rick. Even if there are some strange guys, they can't stop Sean's progress. This is the faith and belief of our family! "
