Guanao didn't speak, and His Majesty Ortedoro was obviously a little anxious, and he said directly: "Faao, what we went through just now is the process, so I won't say more."
Now, we are personal friends, after all, this is related to the survival of the church, you can say whether to help or not?
”Fao smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and said: "Don't worry, I didn't say no, but you have to know that the Demon Slayer Legion is also a legion of the Pompeii Empire, and my side does have a certain degree of autonomy, but it is also within the Empire."
If you really want to go to the Holy City, you have to talk to Your Majesty and ask for his opinion. ”When Ortedoro heard this, he also knew that Fao was not a simple excuse, but he still couldn't help but be a little disappointed.However, Fa'o changed his words and said, "Of course, the Demon Slayer Legion still needs some necessary formalities here, but I can rush over here first." ”In a word, Otedoro immediately became energetic, he looked over with his eyes, and asked, "What you said is true?"
”"Did I lie to you?""
That's good, that's good, let's go now."
As he spoke, Otedoro reached out to pull Fao, but was dodged by Fao's backhand.He looked at the other party and said a little speechlessly: "Even if you want to go, you have to give me some time to arrange, right?"
Such a big legion, I can't just say lose it?
Also, I have to inform the imperial capital and talk to Your Majesty.By the way, you can also find someone to contact the empire on your side, and you can put pressure on you from the side.Finally, take advantage of this time and you can also take a break, eat some food, and recover.It's probably going to be an endless battle, and we have to be in a better state. ”"Huh?
Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I panicked," Ortedoro also smiled bitterly: "After all, this is a major matter related to the survival of the Church, and I can't even imagine what it would be like if the Holy City was breached." ”"There won't be a day, okay, I'll arrange the rest."
With that, Fao called the herald and gave him some advice, and then, after the herald left with the herald under the crown of Otedoro, the whole room fell silent.In the room, at the desk, Fao opened the invitation again, squinting slightly, lost in thought.In the void, Amon showed his figure and asked, "How much truth do you think his performance just now is?"
How much fake?
”Fao slowly spoke: "The demon siege is real, the reason is false, as for the urgency shown, it is half-true."
His acting skills are not up to par, even I can see obvious traces, but people who can make him have a character like him have begun to use this kind of small means, in fact, the side also reflects that the situation in the Holy City is not optimistic. ”"Do you think they know the real reason for the demonic siege?""
I can't judge this, but as demon lords who have been hostile to the gods for countless years and have not fallen behind, they must have a deep understanding of the ways in which the gods act.Therefore, when the gods made some moves, they sensed the danger and were ready to strike first and cut the grass and root it out. ”Fao's eyes suddenly became fierce, but his tone became more and more soothing: "No matter how terrible the heavenly legions of the gods are, they will eventually rely on faith to come, and destroying the church first is equivalent to cutting off the roots of the gods' faith in Atlantis."
While this certainly won't stop the gods, without these mature churches and pastors, the gods will need more time to develop.Therefore, the purpose of those three demon lords is actually to take the lead before the gods come. ”"Yes, yes, Fao, you're getting more and more forward-looking, it's good!"
Amon rarely complimented, but grinned: "But this is also the best result for you, which can be called a sleepy pillow."
You're still thinking about how to get to the Holy City here, and over there, the right reason has already been delivered. ”Fao also nodded slightly: "Although there are some coincidences, but it is reasonable, for me, it is the best opportunity."
It's just that Your Majesty does have to have an explanation. ”"No, it's not an explanation, it's a persuasion, even including the other two empires and two guilds, you have to contribute to it.You have to get them to send troops again, and to surround the Demon Legion, and the entire Holy City.You, you're going to fight this battle as if it were another battle for the Burning Wasteland, no, it's more important than the Battle for the Burning Wasteland. ”Fao hesitated slightly: "Is this necessary?"
”Amon smiled, and smiled with great certainty: "If you operate it well, this battle may be able to do what you want." ”"Fao, you have a forward-looking vision, but you can also look at the long term.Suppose in this battle, you find an opportunity to enter the underground space of the Holy City, destroy the anchor point of the magic web, and directly open the elemental torrent.Do you know what to expect?
”Fao pondered slightly, and his eyes became extremely serious: "When the anchor point of the magic net is broken, the elemental torrent will wash away the embankment in an instant, whether it is the belief network of the gods or the spatial positioning anchor of the demons, it will be destroyed in an instant, resulting in a state of disconnection.Even, this loss of contact will continue for a long time, so within the plane, whether it is the demon legion or the church, they will be in a state of losing support.So, this is my best chance to finish slaying the demon obsession!
”"Yes, as long as you do it properly, you can even achieve the impact of the elemental torrent, and the demon legion, and even the holy city, will be surrounded by the demon slayer legion and the armies of various countries.The Twelve Churches won't talk about it yet, but the Demon Legion, as long as you can annihilate them, is equivalent to slaughtering eighty percent of the demons on the Atlantis continent.As for the development of your warriors under the elemental torrent?
How to grow and find a way out?
And how to gather strength until the elemental torrent subsides, confronting the abyss and even the gods?
That's another question. ”Fao's eyes were terrifying, and it could be said that this was the first time he had been so close to his goal, although there must be difficulties to overcome, and there would be countless changes, and everything could not be as he wanted.But he already saw hope, even if it was just a glimmer of salt, enough for him to do his best.Therefore, he slowly pressed his hand on the invitation, and his tone was extremely calm, but extremely serious: "Then, just do it!"
”Fao is a person with extremely strong executive power, and since he has a decision, he will not hesitate.He directly summoned his legion commanders and consuls at all levels, and held a meeting.Although he said in front of Ortedoro that he would discuss with Pompey IX, at this time, all his arrangements were according to the war.Simply, these people in Thundering City also adapted to Fao's style and carried out his orders without hesitation.In fact, this is already the longest time the Demon Slayer has been repaired, and many of the warriors feel that their bones are about to rust.After hearing about the preliminary arrangements for the war, they were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.At the end of the meeting, Fao opened a private communication circle with Pompeii IX.With the level of magic in this world, this kind of magic circle is actually not troublesome to arrange, but it is limited by the increasingly scarce magic materials, which is very demanding.It's just that, with the importance of the Demon Slayer Legion, this kind of communication circle is also prepared in two copies.One is commonly used, but whenever there is important military information, or what arrangements or reports the empire has, it is conveyed as soon as possible by the teleportation circle.The other is the private property of Fao and Pompeii IX, which is considered a spare.It's just that since the establishment of the Demon Slayer Legion, this backup teleportation circle has only been used a handful of times, and most of them are when another magic circle malfunctions.This time, Fao and Pompeii IX had an hourglass-long conversation after retiring from the outsiders.In the end, Pompeii IX not only agreed to the expedition of the Demon Slayer Legion, but also promised that the Pompeii Empire would also mobilize elite legions to support the Holy City, and even helped the Twelve Churches to persuade other empires and guilds to send troops together.Originally, the Helios Church, which was in charge of the Pompeii Empire, was still having a headache about kicking the ball between various departments.As a result, the next moment, the Pompeii Empire made a 180-degree turn, and all kinds of troop dispatch matters were agreed to very simply, and various conditions were negotiated very smoothly, so that he was a little skeptical.Frankly, Fao struggled for a long time whether to reveal some real secrets to Pompey IX, on the one hand, he needed to get the absolute support of the other party.On the other hand, after getting along for such a long time, he also felt that this emperor was actually trustworthy.It's just that, in the end, he still snuffed out his thoughts.Because the human heart is always tested.What's more, sitting in that position, in fact, many times it is the butt that decides the head, and he will only move because of enough interests.So, in the teleportation circle, Fao made a promise to Pompey IX in exchange for the full support of the other party.That is the three demigod-level demon lords on the opposite side, even if he tries his best, he will leave one behind, and the one left behind must be the abyss minotaur lord.At the end of the Battle of the Burning Wasteland, these three Abyss Lords slaughtered a city in each of the three empires and completed their sacrifices before they were able to descend.As a result, the three empires are now divided into one empire, and the current lair of the Abyss Minotaur Lord is located in the territory of the Pompeii Empire.Frankly speaking, even Pompeii IX would not dare to think about what kind of terrible disaster it would be for a demon lord to develop an abyssal realm within the empire?
And on the side of Fao, after everything was arranged, in the evening, after dinner, and after resting for two hourglass hours, he and Otoro soared into the sky together, turned into a meteor, and galloped away!
Direction, it is the Holy City!
And the Demon Slayer Legion didn't prepare for long, but in the early morning of the next day, a team of neatly arranged to form more than ten arrays, with nearly 100,000 soldiers, rushed out of Thundering City with a rapid march.The goal, also the holy city of Jerusalem!
Holy City, Jerusalem.Outside the city, the demon legions have gathered more and more, and they are divided into three distinct camps, the middle is the undead legion, led by the lich lord, and the disciplined ones don't seem to come from the abyss.They were silent, did not say a word, just lined up quietly, but with indescribable depression.The legion of the six-armed snake demon lord on the right, they are the traditional forces that invade Atlantis, mainly based on snake demons, supplemented by some miscellaneous demons, and a large number of half-demons who have just been converted into demon believers.Their morale is not high, to be exact, in the battle of the Burning Wasteland, they lost miserably, although that group of demons is not the current group, but the impact is still there.At least, they hadn't regained the momentum that belonged to the Abyss Demon yet.Maybe the six-armed snake demon lord also knows, so his legion is the most, and the quality is not enough to make up the quantity, and the truth is eternal and unchanging.As for the Abyss Minotaur Legion on the left, there is no doubt that the morale is the highest, and their legion is mainly based on the Abyss Minotaur, supplemented by a legion composed of Bull Demons, Giant Bulls, and Two-Headed Bulls.They are the least numerous, but they are absolutely elite, one by one, they are violent and majestic, and the most important thing is that at a glance, the entire legion seems to be united, like a huge bull monster roaring in the sky.As for Jerusalem, the Church of the Twelve Gods is also making pre-war arrangements in an orderly manner.Evacuate the people, carry the baggage, set up catapults and ballistas, open the magic circle, build a multi-layer defense system, dispatch and arrange soldiers to fortify layer by layer, and distribute holy water and various materials.They have even dug trenches and laid all kinds of traps in the city.It is true that the Holy City has not been baptized by war for thousands of years, but they have money and suspicion, and the harsh external environment also makes them jealous.Therefore, all kinds of city defense facilities and material reserves are absolutely sufficient, and the Priesthood and the Paladins are also veterans of the rest of the battle.They are also ready for street fighting, and a fight to the death is just around the corner.On the city wall, the patriarch of the Church of Dawn, Bill, stood quietly on the edge of the battlement, he looked at the demon army in the distance, and did not say a word.Beside him, dressed in a red-robed bishop's robe, stood half a step behind, his expression calm, but his momentum was not weak at all.After looking at it for a long time, Bill slowly spoke: "Before, when you came to the door and revealed your identity, I knew that there would be such a day.It's just that I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, let alone that the scene would be so big?
”Gu Ileme tilted his head slightly and asked, "So, are you blaming me?"
”His Majesty Bill slowly shook his head, but nodded again, and said, "If it is useful to blame you, if you don't come, all this will not happen, and I will directly stop you from the temple." ”Gu Ileme shrugged: "You should understand, I don't come to you, you can also go to other temples." ”"Then I'll do everything in my power to let you die outside the city."
Gu Ireme smiled dumbly: "I never thought that Bill, who has always been known for his calmness, would have such a childish side?"
”"Everyone has a childish side, because anyone has a reality that they want to escape."
His Majesty Bill finally turned his head and looked at Gu Ileme and looked him directly into the eyes: "It's a pity that time can't be turned back, all this is not if."
So, Crown of Goureme, Great Favor of the Gods, I know that you are a true powerhouse, so I would like to ask you to do your best in this battle!
