Chapter 878: Can You Do Me a Favor
Robb said, Alright, theres no need to delve into these trivial matters. Love is love, isnt it? In the end, the result is that Ill have you wrapped around my fingers.
The queen:
When a man starts acting like a thief, a woman has to change the subject. The queen turned her gaze away and said, With the Church of Darkness heading north, Lost City has become quite vulnerable. I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to subdue Lost City.
Robb furrowed his brows, Ive told you before, forcibly conquering a church through military means is very dangerous. You cant win the hearts of fanatical believers through force.
The queen replied, Of course, I know that. Youve told me many times. So, this time Im not planning to be too direct. My plan is to first contact the nobles within Lost City through my agents stationed there. Theyve long been discontented due to the citys lack of resources. Having witnessed the abundance and novelty of my Kingdom of Grans resources, theyve become enamored with the kingdom. Ill manipulate them to create chaos within the city while the Church of Darknesss main forces are away.
Robb chuckled, Thats a cunning move. And then?
The queen continued, After that, Ill establish a new Church of Darkness. As long as the god they believe in remains the God of Darkness, it wont be so difficult to win over the fanatical believers. Remember Sister Ishir, who was fanatical about the Church of Light? And even Russ, a fanatic as well. Convincing them to switch gods would be hard, but if the god remains the same and only the organization changes from the old Church of Darkness to the new one, it wont be difficult at all.
The queen hummed, Ill appoint Number 8 as the new Pope of the new Church of Darkness, adopting the same doctrines as your New Church of Light. While the Church of Darknesss main forces are away, I can easily control Lost City. Using abundant resources and a gentle approach to win over believers, it wont take long for me to gain control of the city. Afterward, I can gradually guide the fanatic believers onto a new path.
Robb gave her a thumbs up, Impressive! I think this plan will work.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
The queen glanced at him, Ive been learning from you, after all. However, in order to gain support from the fanatic believers for my new Church of Darkness, my military shouldnt intervene too early. So, Number 8s available combat power is quite limited. I can only use a small unit disguised as the New Church of Darknesss Templar Knights to win over Lost City. Otherwise, it might lead to the dissatisfaction and upheaval of the fanatics.
Robb nodded in agreement.
The queen continued, If the Church of Darknesss main forces return to reinforce too early, my plan will fail. So I hope you can delay the Church of Darknesss main forces for as long as possible, or simply eliminate them.
She refrained from taking action, and the ineffectiveness of the other twos weapons became evident as they struggled against the Lava Giant.
One of the melee Priests in the group couldnt hold back any longer. Holding his staff, he charged forward. His staff was suitable for striking stone, and he delivered a powerful blow to the Lava Giants leg, sending shards of stone flying. However, just as this happened, the Lava Giant suddenly lifted its foot and stomped down on the Priest, sending him flying a considerable distance away.
The blow seemed quite heavy, and the priest was unable to get up for a moment.
Without the healing of the priest, the situation suddenly became critical.
The Lava Giant struck Chriss shield with a punch, causing Chris to feel a numbing sensation throughout his body and sustaining some internal injuries. Without the priests healing, he could only grit his teeth and endure. However, the Lava Giant didnt stop there; it swung its other fist down heavily.
Chris was growing desperate it seemed like this blow might be too much for him to handle.
Just at that moment, Gorda suddenly rushed forward from behind, brushing past Chris, and stood in front of him. He drew his shield and held it up before Chris.
Clang!
The Lava Giants fist struck Gordas shield!
Chris was taken aback, thinking to himself, Gorda is a low-level warrior, and his Shield Wall skill is probably low-level too. Taking a hit from the Lava Giant like that might deform his shield and cause him some internal injuries.
However, just as he was thinking this, he saw the Lava Giants fist suddenly shatter into pieces.
Its punch had struck the shield, and what shattered was its own fist, not Gordas shield.
As it turned out, Gordas shield was called the Thorns Titansteel Defender. It was enchanted with a thorns prefix that had the effect of reflecting physical damage.
