As he said this, Fao stared at Bill's expression as if he wanted to confirm something.Although Bill, who was provoked to reveal the secret, was a little surprised, the reaction was not like the shock of being peeked at, but more like the surprise that Fao actually knew the secret.Thinking slightly, he nodded frankly, but said with a slight mockery: "We, who claim to be the closest to the gods, have long been unable to listen to the decrees of the gods.Of course, this is not absolute, because the gods never forget us, and because the gods are never absent. ”"Divine Favorite?""
Yes, the Favored Ones of the Gods, brought from the abyss, with the decrees of the gods, keeping an eye on the changes in the world.It is also because of their existence that we are convinced that we are not outcasts. ”This was information that Fao didn't even know, and he was a little surprised, his eyes slightly condensed, as if he remembered something.Suddenly, he spoke: "So, that legendary skeleton mage, Gu Ileme is the god of this generation?"
”This time it was Bill's turn to be surprised: "You see that?
”Fao nodded noncommittally, and suddenly said, "Let me guess, his arrival should have brought you some news, in your words, this is an oracle."
And this oracle has something to do with the rhythm of the magic web?
”"Yes.""
So, the reason why those three demon lords are besieging the Holy City is not out of revenge as you say, but because of this oracle?
Or the rhythm of the magic web?
Well, I personally think it's unlikely to be an oracle, it should be the rhythm of the magic net.Before, the Church of Magic saw this as the return of the Lady of Magic, but I didn't think it was that simple.Could this be a sign of the resurgence of the elemental tides and the coming gods?
”This time, Bill couldn't hold back his surprise any longer, he opened his mouth slightly, and said for a long time: "Your Majesty, I used to only think that you were a true commander, an invincible brave, and even an incomparably determined demon slayer.But now look at you, you are still a rare wise man. ”Fao smiled indifferently, although he couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart, but the expression on his face was still unfathomable, he couldn't say that this was a guess only after entering the long river of time twice, combined with the book of blasphemy.That's even more unclear.So, the name of this wise man, ahem, can only be ashamed!
Bill hesitated slightly, as if joking: "Then you don't have to guess anymore, what am I thinking now?"
”"The war has just come to an end, and His Majesty should have a lot of things to deal with, but he is here to talk and laugh with me.I thought, what's going on with Your Majesty?
Oh, maybe it would be more accurate, His Majesty wants to ask the Holy City about the follow-up to this battle, is there any chance of winning?
”"You're right."
The wry smile on the corner of Bill's mouth could no longer be suppressed, which was actually the reason why he dragged his tired body, put down complicated affairs, and hurried here.Fao turned around, faced Bill, and asked, "Then I really want to ask, which bull is in command of this battle?"
Although the Holy City has no advantage in terms of absolute strength, it is impossible to fight like this because of the geographical advantages and the fact that there are people and people?
”Fao finally complained, not that he wanted to complain, but he really couldn't hold back.He had investigated the Holy City in depth, so he was very aware of the strength and heritage of the Twelve Churches, although facing a joint attack by the three demon lords, there would be a lot of pressure.But this is different from the battle of the Burning Wasteland, the Great Demon Diensus has been running the Burning Wasteland for hundreds of years, and the entire region has been turned into an abyssal realm, and there are millions of demon legions waiting to work.And what about these three demon lords?
In addition to its own combat power, it is not advantageous in all other aspects, just like this, the Holy City was almost destroyed in a battle?
What a grip this is!
Patriarch Chenxi looked embarrassed, after living for so many years, the first time he fell in love with a beautiful girl when he was a teenager, his face turned red and turned the color of pork liver.However, after all, he can be regarded as a person who has gone through ups and downs, and the courage to take responsibility is still not lacking, he whispered: "Let the crown, cough cough, look at the joke!"
”This voice was so small that even Fao couldn't hear it clearly, but he wasn't eyeless, and when he saw the other party's expression, he understood.Well, this makes him quite embarrassed, even if he criticizes, criticizing in front of him is too much of a slap in the face, he had to reluctantly say: "Your Majesty doesn't know the soldiers!"
”"So, I'm here to ask for advice?"
After all, it was the old fox, and His Majesty Bill adjusted his mentality, saluted in the most formal manner, and said, "Your Majesty, even if it is for the sake of the merits of the twelve churches during the First Battle of the Burning Wasteland, and the affection of hundreds of thousands of people in this city, please help us no matter what?"
”This posture has been lowered very low, but Fao can only smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, although the army is impermanent and the water is impermanent, there are always some rules to follow in the matter of war."
From my point of view, it is very difficult not to lose this battle in the Holy City!
”Fao spit out the last few words almost word by word, and in his words, he had even given up the concept of winning, just saying that he would not lose.Patriarch Dawn was unwilling to give up: "It's difficult, but it's not absolute after all, so there is still the possibility of not losing, isn't it?"
”Fao was slightly silent, and finally said, "Relying on the Holy City's own strength, it is basically impossible. ”"That's external aid, are you talking about the three empires and the two guilds?
We have already contacted these and they have all responded, thanks to your previous efforts, the Pompeii Empire has agreed, as for the rest, it is still being negotiated.But don't worry, I will compromise when I should compromise, I will promise what I should promise, and we will never be stingy with interests at the moment of life and death. ”"But time is running out, unless they send the legion now, they won't be able to catch up.Or, when they arrive, they are faced with nothing but the ruins of the Holy City. ”"And who else?
Who else can we go to?
In the entire Atlantis, except for the three major empires and the two major guilds, even if the other small forces agreed, but in the face of the outside lineup, they just delivered food. ”Bill shrugged his shoulders helplessly, but he seemed to think of something again, and looked at Fao: "Since His Majesty has proposed it, he must have an idea, don't buy it, just say it directly?"
”Fao was slightly silent, and suddenly raised his body, and the whole person changed from leaning against the wall to sitting upright, he looked directly at Patriarch Bill, although his eyes were not sharp, but they were more serious than ever."
I want to ask the crown the next question, I wonder if the crown can answer honestly?""
You say?""
A multiple-choice question, if you had to choose between the salvation of the Holy City, and even the whole of Atlantis, and the coming of the gods, which would you choose?"
This question obviously exceeded Bill's psychological expectations, and he was stunned for a moment before he looked at Fao and asked, "Is there a necessary connection?"
Will there be a conflict between them?
”"It doesn't matter about the connection and conflict, I just want to face my heart directly, in fact, the answer itself is not important, the important thing is which side of your heart is on when facing this choice?"
With this said, Fao finally made Bill face up to the problem itself.Home salvation and faith are two indispensable parts of his life, just like his right and left hand, and now he says that he wants to cut off one, how do you let him choose?"
I, I can't answer right now."
This was the last answer given by His Majesty Bill: Fao smiled, it was good to hesitate, and besides, he didn't really want to achieve anything from this question, so he simply said: "Then think more, and you can also tell the other Patriarchs, it doesn't matter if you tell me your choice or not." ”As he spoke, he paused slightly, as if he was brewing, and said slowly: "In this battle, if the Holy City wants to win, in addition to the rescue of the three empires and the two major guilds, there is still a help to seek. ”"Who?""
Favored by the gods, ancient Ileme.""
Him?""
From my point of view, if the Holy City is destroyed, it will be you who will lose directly, but the greatest loss will be the gods you believe in, especially in the context of their imminent arrival.Of course, with the current environment of Atlantis, it is not easy to convince them.So, I need an environment where Ireme can relax and have a good talk with him?
”"Indeed!"
Bill's eyes flashed, and his whole body seemed to glow, he looked at Fao, and said, "Then two days, or three days later, when all kinds of things are over, we should also prepare a small but comfortable banquet for the arrival of the great demon slayer."

Although the external environment is not good, as a host, you can't be too rude?
”"Good excuse, so be it!""
Then the war behind you, please do your best?"
Bill said, "I will arrange it, and your will will will be the order of the Twelve Patriarchs of our country." ”"Good!"
The verbal agreement was reached, and His Majesty Bill left quickly, and there was still a lot of work to do in the end of the war, and he couldn't leave at all.As he left, Fao relaxed, leaning against the wall again, looking up at the wonders of the sky, his gaze as deep as the sea.In the void, Amon said slowly: "The curtain has been pulled, and the plan is quite smooth, this final battle depends on your performance." ”Fao's eyes gradually became persistent and determined: "Everything will be fine, definitely!"
”After the Great War, as far as the Holy City is concerned, there are indeed a lot of things to deal with.Clearing demons, arranging rescues, counting casualties, pacifying the populace, repairing walls, reorganizing legions, rebuilding defenses, etc., are not things that can be done in a day or two.What's more, they also have to contact the outside world, conduct urgent consultations with major empires and guilds, and communicate about matters such as the departure of the rescue legion.It should be said that the major empires understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, and they do not reject sending legions to support, but as a big force, if they don't knock on a profit at this time and seek some benefits, it is really unreasonable.And that's what the negotiations are really about.Fao did his best throughout the process, as Patriarch Dawn had hoped.On the one hand, he took over the reorganization of the Knights Templar and the defence of the Holy City.As the undisputed demon slayer of all of Atlantis, the Reconquistain of the Burning Wasteland, his prestige was high enough to accept the affairs of the Knights Templar without much resistance.To be precise, the degree of recognition of these real veterans is much higher than the blind command of the Twelve Patriarchs.And the morale boost that Faou's prestige brings is obvious.Of course, war is never a matter of one person, and the unity of a group, the reason why Fao's demon slaying army is strong is not only the unity of belief and strong strength, but also the perfect command system to ensure that orders and prohibitions are carried out.Even if the Knights Templar recognized the person of Fao, it would be impossible to build a perfect command system in just a few days.At this point, no matter how strong the algorithm is, he can't do it, he is more urging the repair of the city wall and rebuilding the defense system of the holy city.He was going to tell the Templars what to do at some point.On the other hand, he also actively participated in the negotiations between the Church and the major empires and guilds through the communication of the circle and the outside world.He did not skimp on his influence, and even made a lot of promises in the name of the Demon Slayer Legion.Again, as the biggest contributor to the Battle of the Burning Wasteland, the man who made the major forces see the hope of defeating the demons, his face was actually much bigger than that of the Twelve Pastoral Capitals.It was also with his participation that the three major empires and the two major guilds also mobilized the legions at the fastest speed and began the expedition, plus the demon slayer legions that had already set off.Although the scale of this battle was slightly smaller than the first battle of the Burning Wasteland, after all, there was not enough time, and those small principalities could not mobilize, but it also looked like the second battle of the burning wasteland.That is, on the second day after the battle, the sky above the Holy City, the twelvet of the twelve-level spell lich finally dissipated, and the twelve giant eyes consumed the stored power, turned into nothingness, and disappeared into the clouds.This spell is indeed terrifying, even at the peak of the Arcane Era, the caster may not be able to make a spell of this level, but this is only a spell after all, and it is still incomparable to the power of faith accumulated in the Holy City for thousands of years.It's just that even if the spell dissipates, the Twelve Patriarchs don't dare to remove the protection of the gods.When the city walls were not repaired, the supplies were not fully prepared, and the Knights Templar were not ready for the second war, opening the protection of the gods was equivalent to being exposed to the demon army again, and this time, it is estimated that it will not have as good luck as before.Of course, if the protection of the gods is maintained, even if the Holy City has a thousand years of savings, it will only be ten days.Ten days later, without the power of faith reserves, a large group of priests could not even perform a magic spell, which was no different from killing by the neck.Therefore, as far as the Patriarch of the Twelve Patriarchs is concerned, this is actually a dilemma, and it is also the real reason why the Patriarch of Dawn hurriedly came to Fao after the war ended.He represents not only the Temple of Dawn, but also the Twelve Patriarchs, the Church of the Gods, and hundreds of thousands of people in the Holy City, who are looking for a way out.If when the demons besieged the city before, they only verbally shouted that this was the so-called life and death moment, then now, after the First World War, they really experienced it.They're actually panicking!
As for the demon legions outside the city, they didn't even have the desire to try to attack under the protection of the gods.They seemed to know more about this super-large array of divine magic than the Twelve Patriarchs, so they waited patiently.Of course, they didn't do nothing, outside the city, the three spatial cracks opened up by them were getting bigger and bigger, and more and more demon legions were pouring out of them.As time passed, the demons did not stop at the west of the holy city, but continued to expand outward, to the north, to the south, and began to encircle the holy city.Of course, they left the east gate empty, as if leaving a way for the holy city to survive.Well, the truth that even the devil is proficient in playing it.It's just that outside the east gate, the seemingly open road leads to life or death, in fact, there is no need to say much.After four busy days, the welcome dinner hosted by Patriarch Dawn finally began.
