Taka was not particularly surprised when he learned about the church established in the imperial capital, knowing that it would happen sooner or later.

"I just didn't expect that Mel would switch sides so quickly. This is not like his temperament." Taco sighed, recalling Mel's appearance when he was young.

The three of them are all disciples of the legendary mage Gandalf. Mel is the youngest and the most talented. He is completely opposite to Rune in temperament. He is unruly and extremely talented.

At that time, the teacher told him privately that if anyone among the three of them could cross that hurdle, it would most likely be Mel.

This is indeed the case.

Holding a fist-sized crystal in his hand, Roy turned his head and said, "The news sent by Senior Sister just now said that it has been decided to conquer the south and take back the lost land of the Golden Empire."

"After the demons withdrew, the focus was on the barbarians. However, those barbarians were naturally strong and strong, and they seemed to be fighting back and forth with the demons."

He is now considered the mage of the church, responsible for the contact between the two sides, and also supervises the local church army.

The church army exists in the cities on the frontier and is attached to the army group. The number is not large. They are mainly priests and some blessed knights to assist the army in fighting the demons.

Taka nodded: "This is good news. If we don't expel these demons from this world, I will never feel at ease."

"If the royal family is still in power, I'm afraid the empire will choose to be content with the status quo. The light of the All Living Beings Cult can cut off the carrion of the empire and regenerate it."

Sure enough, ten days later, Lauren led the church army to Victory City. This church army was extremely large, with a total of three thousand people, including two thousand silver knights who had been blessed for a long time. The Silver Knight's combat power is higher than that of the Demons, and they can even deal with multiple Demons at the same time.

And Lauren is now a Templar Knight of the Church of All Beings. She is only under the Saintess and the High Priest, and she has been blessed by Su Changxing alone, the blessing of victory.

[Victory Blessing: Under faith, pointing directly to victory, you can show unparalleled combat power, and can intermittently display divine protection. 】

Lauren has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. She has even grown taller. She is two shoulders taller than a normal person. She is wearing heavy silver armor. When she walks, it feels like the earth is shaking. .

In the previous battle in Rohan, he personally killed the general of the demon clan. He was instilled with faith by Su Changxing and given the priesthood. Now he has quite exaggerated combat power. As long as the distance is close enough, Taka will be easily killed by him within a hundred meters. .

Taka's eyes trembled slightly when he saw him, and he felt the power contained in Lauren's body, like walking forbidden magic. As he got closer, his hair stood up, "You came to me just after you came back. Is there something going on?"

Lauren leaned slightly and said, "President, according to the order, we have decided to leave in ten days, so we also ask the mages of the Magic Guild to be ready."

Taka's eyes narrowed and he said: "This order comes from..."

Lauren's voice was low and she said calmly: "It's from the Holy Lady."

Rather than coming from the saint, it is better to say that the saint conveyed the meaning of the gods.

No wonder.

Taka took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face: "Of course our Magic Guild will be on standby, the Paladins don't need to worry."

Master Mage's status is usually noble. Lauren used to be just a guard of the Magic Guild, but now she can actually talk to him on an equal footing, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Lauren nodded without much expression on his face. He turned and walked outside the Magic Guild. He waved and the other knights followed him and left.

Tap tap tap~

The footsteps hit the floor, making a loud sound, getting farther and farther away, until it became completely silent. The other mages on the side also looked at each other in shock.

After Lauren left, Taka was restless and kept moving his fingers on the table. Although the Saint was his disciple, she had nothing to do with the Magic Guild now because her feelings could take care of them, but when she came into contact with the real profit

In the future, I'm afraid this little bit of kindness won't work.

Roy next to him noticed the teacher's uneasiness and asked, "Does the teacher have any concerns?"

Taka glanced at the young disciple, sighed and said, "I'm thinking about how the Magic Guild should deal with itself. If it remains independent, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive in the empire in the future."

The faith of the All-Sentient Religion gradually spread to every position in the empire, from common people to nobles, including mages like them.

Many wild mages took the initiative to join the Sect of All Beings, became church mages, and learned magic to work as part-time priests. An unexpected chemical reaction occurs between the two, making them even more powerful, just like Linda before them.

He has also long since seen that divine arts and magic have some kind of homologous relationship. Perhaps the shackles of mages come from this. In ancient times, they were shackled by the gods to prevent them from going further.

Another sigh.

Perhaps the mage's will should be free and should not be subject to any existence, even gods.

Truth is the only belief of mages. This is what they have insisted on for so many years. It is also the truth that belongs to mages.

But now even Mel has fallen and has become the high priest of the Sect of All Living Beings, and even took people directly to the imperial capital to force him into the palace.

Under such circumstances, no one would think there is a problem. After most people in the empire have become believers of the All-Sentient Cult, they will also look at the problem from the perspective of the All-Sentient Cult. It is appropriate to build a church in the imperial capital.

Of course, a pope is needed to fully coordinate the power of the All-Sentient Cult and drive out the demons.

A month later, the emperor announced that he would become the acting pope of the Church of All Beings, temporarily assuming the responsibilities of the pope, and also announced his abdication.

There is always one above the divine power and the imperial power. They cannot be equal, but they can both exist independently.

Su Changxing will naturally make the Shengye Empire a completely religious country, so that more faith can be gathered, and faith is one of the foundations of his strength. The more faith he has, the stronger he will be.

Ten days later.

The 100,000-strong army group, the church army, and the mage army marched all the way south. Luo Haodong followed behind with striding steps, staggering, stepping on each footprint, and the dragging chains stirred up wind and sand on the ground.

After entering the land of the Golden Empire, the land gradually turned into dark purple, and black mist continued to rise.

As they walked along, they didn't see any demons, nor any living beings. There were only corpses buried in the soil, mixed with blood-red color.

At this point, they were out of the scope of the All-Sentient Cult's belief. Even Su Changxing could only watch them from a distance, unable to provide direct help.

Entering here, everyone instinctively feels uncomfortable, as if there are bugs burrowing through their bodies, gnawing at their flesh and blood.

General, Luo Renren coughed twice, looked down and saw a little blood on his palms, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily. He turned to look at the priest aside and asked, "How is the situation now?"

He began to retreat in his heart. This trip was more difficult than imagined, as if he was heading to hell. This ghost place was not suitable for people to stay.

The priest said seriously: "Although they are protected by the Holy Light, these demonic energies still make some soldiers feel uncomfortable, and some have even become ill."

This situation was unexpected. The demons not only occupied this land, but also transformed it.

Most of these soldiers are very full of blood. If ordinary people are allowed to stay here for a long time, they will definitely get sick.

This disease is called blight, which causes people to lose their original vitality, become confused, and become weak and weak.

Lauren knew the current situation, but still led the army to move forward unswervingly. The nearest city, Xinye, was still fifty miles away. There were probably demons in it, and there might even be a lot of humans. Being kept in the city like animals.

A month ago, they had received a magical signal from the New Wilderness, asking for help. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com.z.

It seems that the demons are not

There is no intention to massacre all human beings. In other words, the invasion of this world is also for the human beings in this world. Massacre is definitely not the ultimate goal.

Lauren's mission is to use force to kill these demons and capture the city.

Then the Saintess will arrive with her people and build a Holy Light Tower in the city to drive out the evil spirit. In this way, they will advance outward step by step and steadily.

These demonic energies will indeed make humans sick, but if it doesn't last long, the problem shouldn't be big, at least it won't cause the army to completely lose its combat effectiveness, and with Luo Haodong following him, it probably won't be a problem to capture Xinye.

Before they arrived at Xinye, they saw a monster appear in the sky. It had a dragon head, purple wings, and eagle claws. It became bigger and bigger. It rushed towards them, setting off strong winds and a lot of purple flames. spread.

Seeing this, Luo Haodong stepped forward to intercept, swung the chain, and pulled the monster down from the sky. However, the monster was stronger than he expected, and turned around and kicked him away.
