Chapter 544: Confrontation In the spring of the fifteenth year of the imperial calendar, before the country of light launched an attack on the country of darkness, an army of millions of puppets from the country of darkness appeared on the periphery of the magic mist.
These man-made puppets with similar appearances and ruthless personalities have an overwhelming power advantage over ordinary Demon Raider soldiers.
Even if the same number of demon warriors have fire support, they still can't win the battle against the same number of dark puppets, and the confrontation between human warriors and death-defying consumables is sad and helpless, so as soon as this huge puppet army attacked, the situation in the entire Belaku region quickly fell into a state of collapse.
Although the Star of Light has stationed a full 400,000 demon warriors in the Belaku region to guard against the dark demon gods, this number is still not comparable to the dark puppet army, which is equivalent to one-third of the total number of demon warriors.
Coupled with the fact that there were nearly the same number of demons, the defeat of the weak demon army was naturally a matter of course, and the successive territories were occupied by the dark puppets, and after those demon army soldiers paid huge casualties, only a few of them fled back to the inner region.
When the Dark Army tried to invade the Inner Regions, it was finally hindered, and the defense system of the Inner Regions, which was far stronger than Belaku, finally blocked the attack of the Dark Army.
The concept of the inner and outer realms has long disappeared after the collapse of the Eternal Guardian for more than ten years, and the direction near the ruins of the original imperial capital is not as safe and prosperous as those remote areas, but these areas are indeed the strongest fortresses in the country of light, and each county that is still in the hands of humans has a large number of demon soldiers stationed, and the Star of Light has spent more than ten years turning each county into a strong fortress, even if the other counties are invaded by demons, they can't find any weaknesses in the neighboring areas.
This kind of strategic thinking was originally used to deal with demons, but no one thought that when the entire territory of Belaku was lost and completely reduced to the territory of the Dark Realm, these walls seemed to be some repetitive and wasteful walls, and successfully stabilized the demon army.
The line of defense originally used to deal with the demons turned to those dark puppets at this time, and as the entire kingdom of light entered a state of war, the demon gods finally had no choice but to retreat to Belaku to digest this territory with all their might when the attack was fruitless.
The retreat of the Dark Realm did not make the Demon Seeking Army breathe a sigh of relief, and in fact, the entire Belaku region was lost, which seemed to them to be a great shame, but this shame seemed to be difficult to wash away in a short period of time, and it had begun to approach the inner region of summer, and the demons began to move again.
The Demon Seeker Army, which had been spending a lot of strength defending against demons, suddenly had a strong enemy, and when that army did not show an offensive posture.
The demon seekers, who were already overstretched, could only temporarily endure the shame in their hearts and fight against the demons to protect the people behind them.
However, the Stars of Light did not feel any shame, they knew very well that the so-called dark realm was the product of the demon gods, and the power of the demon gods was far more than what they showed now, you must know that even the demons were the products created by the demon gods.
What the Star of Light needs to think about now is how to stabilize its position in the next battle, and the overstretched demon army now seems to be far from enough to compete with the power of the demon god.
Another half-year demonic attack will inevitably damage their power again, and if they don't take some action, then the dark realm that is eyeing them from the sidelines is likely to strike a blow to their soft underbelly after digesting Belaku.
The Stars of Light knew that they had to do something at this time, and while they couldn't create a dark puppet like the Demon God, there should always be another way to increase the power of the Light.
According to the information received by Duke Rodnik, the Dark Demon God is using some kind of forbidden art to create powerful soldiers in batches, and although these soldiers are similar to humans on the outside, they are actually demonic creatures on the inside.
The Demon Gods were able to mobilize a million troops to appear in the Dragon Sleep Continent in just one year, and if the Star of Light did not find a way to increase the strength of the Demon Fighting Army, then they would probably be completely defeated by the Demon Gods.
Being defeated means that human beings will become the people of the demon god, and they will lose the support of faith, and the star of light will eventually have to look up to the demon god to ascend to the high throne of this world.
However, the Bright Star knew that they were not without a chance, because before this, Duke Rodnik had clearly stated to the Bright Star that this game empire and he were only responsible for maintaining balance, and could not give the Bright Star a strong help, but the Bright Star was not discouraged by this statement, since the Duke of Rodnik believed that the strength of the two sides in this war was balanced, then there must be some forces that the Bright Star did not find.
Today's kingdom of light seems to be in a two-sided disadvantage, but there must be some untapped potential in the kingdom of light that can quickly increase its strength, and finding this potential is what the star of light has to do, only in this way can they get a balance of power with the kingdom of darkness.
In the summer of the fifteenth year of the Imperial calendar, the Star of Light announced that all seven of them had become demigods, and that the people of the Kingdom of Light could choose their faith in any temple, and except for the still demanding God of Courage, the requirements for believers were greatly reduced.
At the same time, the Order of Light was officially formed in the Kingdom of Light, and those loyal believers who had volunteered to serve the gods in the temple became members of the Order and gained great rights.
The Order of Light will replace the Light Star as the ruling body of the Light Realm, and the Light Star will no longer actively interfere in everything in the Realm in the future, except for war.
The Star of Light, in this last command, published a simple canon that laid out the relationship between believers and the gods, and set out a series of rules for the behavior of believers.
The Temple of Light no longer has strict requirements for the character of believers, as long as they are willing to perform rituals in front of the idol, they can become believers and be protected by the divine power of the gods of light.
And in the subsequent practice of becoming a believer, the more strict the adherent who abides by the canon, the more grace he will receive, not only the power of divine magic, but the more devout the believer will get the higher status, and the highest one can even enter the City of Light and become the master of the entire kingdom of light.
This doctrine of a liberal internal promotion system has been admired by everyone in the Land of Light since it was introduced, and the huge prestige that the Stars of Light have accumulated over the years has given them a luster that no one can take away from them.
When they learned that these heroes had become demigods, their admirers immediately poured into the temple, and the liberal system of initiation made everyone's faith increase countless times.
Then the Demon Army soldiers were shocked to find that their strength began to grow rapidly, and that almost all of them had chosen to believe in the gods of light, and that the number of gifts they had received seemed to be incredible.
Relying on these magical powers, the Demon Seeker Army not only did not lose its strength but became stronger in the summer and autumn demon attacks, coupled with the urgent expansion of the army by the lords in various places, a large number of reserve soldiers made the number of the Demon Seeker Army skyrocket.
Until the end of the fifteenth year of the imperial calendar, the Dark Realm had never found the weakness of the Bright Realm, so the war was postponed until the following spring, when the Demon Raiders took the initiative to attack, and the Light and Dark Realms began to fight again.
This battle lasted for five years, and in the past five years, the Dark Realm has broken through the inner region several times, and the Demon Seeker Army has driven it back to the Belaku region several times.
Two armies of almost equal strength, constantly strangled each other in battle, gasped, and strangled again.
In the endless slaughter, the people of the kingdoms of darkness and light have forged mortal enemies, and even those opportunistic lords, many of their relatives have died at the hands of each other.
In the past five years, the Order of Light has gradually developed from an empty government that relied entirely on the authority of the original Star of Light and the support of the Demon Seeking Army to a powerful regime that overrides the Kingdom of Light, and the Pope of the Order of Light now has supreme authority, even if the lords have to kneel down to submit to the Pope when they see him.
This kind of treatment was unique even when the Star of Light became a demigod, but in this era when all the people of the Land of Light have become believers in the gods of light, His Majesty the Pope, as the spokesman of the gods, enjoys what kind of reverence on behalf of the gods is not exaggerated.
As for the Dark Kingdom, the side also established the Dark Order-for-tat, but the Dark Order, which advocates following desires, does not completely control the power of the entire kingdom like the Light Order.
However, even if the Dark Order does not interfere in the management of the territory, they are still the uncrowned kings of the Dark Realm, and they are in control of countless puppet armies, demons, and demons, and in some respects, they are more dangerous than the Light Order that rushes to the virtues of order.
The two kingdoms have become unusually united in the constant rivalry, and this unity, driven by hatred and fear, will not be shaken by anything for a short time, and through this pressure, the gods of light and darkness have gained a great faith, and they are getting closer and closer to the day when they will be lifted up to the throne.
As for the Empire, it has been silently waiting for all these years, and the day when light and darkness will be lifted up at the same time as planned, will the real war officially begin.
