"Why?
Is there a reason?
”Owen asked."
Your Majesty."
To this, Bishop Flynn replied with a solemn face: "His Majesty the Pope said that this crisis is not just about the undead monsters lurking in the north, you will know later. ”Isn't it just an undead monster?
What do you mean?
Could there be a new threat?"
The Pope's word, I received it."
Bishop Flynn and Theresa are only in charge of the message, and they probably don't know what the Pope means, so Owen won't ask much, just wait and see."
Your Majesty, then."
Finally, Bishop Flynn advised: "If you decide to go to the Holy City to meet His Holiness the Pope, please let me know in advance by radio so that the Holy City can be prepared accordingly. ”"I see."
Owen replied casually.When everything was to be said, Bishop Flynn retired and returned to the church.Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Teresa deliberately leaned closer to Owen and whispered something to him."
Your Majesty, because of the failure of faith magic, the Holy City has been in chaos.This crisis may be more difficult than ever, and you need to be prepared. ”"Well, thanks for the reminder."
Owen also whispered back.The failure of faith magic meant that the Templars could not enter the state of faith, and their combat effectiveness would undoubtedly be greatly reduced, resulting in a lack of ability to better cope with the Great Crisis.It is estimated that the church did not expect that in such an emergency moment, the magic of faith would become invalid.This reminded Owen of a joking remark he made during his visit to the Holy Church of Caleb last year - are the gods planning to abandon us humans?
Fortunately, the Chenguang Kingdom has established a relatively complete industrial system in the past few years, and is able to independently produce all kinds of military weapons and equipment.These advanced weapons and equipment will be an important support for this great crisis, and it is much more reliable than believing in magic."
What are you polite to me?"
Teresa kissed Owen on the cheek like a dragonfly, then took a few steps back with a blushing face."
Your Majesty, I still have something to deal with, so I'll retire first."
Without giving Owen time to react, Teresa ran away as fast as she could.actually doing this kind of thing in front of him, Marpel's face behind him also blushed slightly, and he said with some jealousy: "Running so fast, Teresa did it on purpose." ”Reaching out and touching the cheek that was kissed, Owen smiled slightly, and said in his heart, this Nizi is real.Noticing Mapel's gaze, he quickly faked a few coughs to ease the awkward atmosphere."
Ahem!
Let's go, Mapel. ”…… Back at church, Bishop Flynn told the clergy and the faithful to stand firm in their faith and not waver!
Propaganda of the failure of belief magic is only temporary.On the other side, Owen hurried to the town hall and summoned the head of Clive and the ministers of other important departments for an emergency meeting.The next day, the city halls of major cities across the country issued important announcements, declaring a state of emergency in the Kingdom of Chenguang and activating the Emergency Military Service Law passed two years ago.All military factories will be in full swing with immediate effect, and a three-shift production system will be implemented to ensure the supply of military supplies.Military camps in various localities relaxed the conditions for conscription and began to recruit soldiers on a large scale, recruiting all those who were physically and mentally sound and interested in serving the country, and conducting emergency training for them to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time.In anticipation of the coming war, the war machine of the state began to work.In the afternoon, while everyone was busy, Viscount Jarvis came to meet with Owen to report on the request for support from other countries."
How?"
Putting down the papers in his hand, Owen asked, "When will the other countries decide to send troops to support us?"
”"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
Because he did not complete the task assigned by Owen, Viscount Jarvis said apologetically: "I have contacted all the countries that have signed emergency mutual aid agreements, many of which have been attacked by a large number of unknown monsters recently, and cannot afford to send troops to support our country. ”Hearing this, Owen frowned, and suddenly realized that things were not simple, the undead monsters here had just appeared, but other countries were invariably attacked by unknown monsters, which was too much of a coincidence."
What the hell is going on?""
Back to Your Majesty, it's like this......"
Viscount Jarvis told Owen everything he knew.The waters south of the continent have seen a massive sea monster with a hideous fish head and a strange call to communicate, and the Fagalan Alliance and the Starflame Kingdom have been attacked by them, and a large number of civilians have been slaughtered.On the side of the Gorge Moon Federation, a large number of Feathered Wings have recently flown to the Gorge Island from the south, informing them that a large group of flying monsters are approaching in the southeast.In order to deal with the threat of flying monsters, the Gorge Moon Federation is actively preparing for war, and is unable to send troops to support the Dawnlight Kingdom.The same is true at the western end of the continent, where a large number of unknown swarms suddenly emerge from the depths of the Foro Mountains, attacking the elven nation of Venola and the remnants of the Popon Empire.Even the dwarven nation of Femet Gong, who had built the city underground, was not spared this fate, and a group of large and small worm monsters suddenly emerged from the ground.The three underground cities of Rudol, Uzken and Ambila have entered a state of war, and only the newly built underground city of Noua has not been attacked.However, Noa has to send troops to rescue the other three underground cities, and they are also unable to support the Dawnlight Kingdom.There are only two countries that have not been attacked by unknown monsters, and there are only two countries that can send troops to support - the Holy Church of Caleb and the Demon Wizard of Bigris."
What?!"
After listening to Viscount Jarvis's report, Owen understood the meaning of what the Pope had told him yesterday.The undead are just one of the threats from the north, and the impact of this crisis is beyond imagination, and the entire continent is in danger.As for the Holy Church of Caleb, why did the Holy Church of Caleb get the news of the attacks on the countries one step ahead of the Morning Light Kingdom?
This is actually very simple, when attacked by unknown monsters, the first country that countries think of asking for help must be the Holy Church of Caleb.After all, in the first two holy wars, it was the Templars who led the coalition of nations to defeat the enemy.With this precedent, the Holy Church of Caleb naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the nations through the crisis.Moreover, in the emergency mutual aid agreement signed last fall, other countries promised that if the undead monsters appeared, they would send troops to support the Dawnlight Kingdom.It didn't say that if the countries were attacked, the Dawnlight Kingdom would go to their aid.At that time, everyone didn't expect that there would be other threats besides the undead monsters.Not to mention, the Dawnlight Kingdom is always on guard against the movements of the undead monsters in the north, and it should not easily send troops to support other countries.Therefore, after being attacked by unknown monsters, the countries did not contact the Dawn Kingdom in the first place, but went to seek help from the Caleb Holy Sect State.
