Chapter 283 283. The war between light and earth, guests from Star Town

The western part of Semrio continent.

This place belongs to the Holy Holy See, the Holy Kingdom Esote under the blessing of the Father of Light.

The territory of the Holy Kingdom is ten times larger than that of Norland, where Croya is located. It can be said that the westernmost plain area of ​​the entire continent is almost entirely occupied by the Holy See.

Further outside is the wild grassland of the orcs.

Of course, this land blessed by light also has many knightly territories, but all of them are controlled by the priests, bishops and preachers of the Holy See.

The fervor for belief makes this land almost intolerable to anyone who has any objection to the light.

But locusts don’t care whether you believe in the light or not.

Perhaps they are the fairest existence on this continent - they will treat everyone equally regardless of whether they are poor or rich, nobles or commoners.

At this moment, the Holy Kingdom is facing an attack by locusts, just like other countries that have suffered disasters——

Locusts like dark clouds covered the sky and blocked all the light cast by the sun, as if it was dark night.

Each locust is as big as a rabbit, and its cold insect eyes make people shudder.

All that can be heard in the ears is the sound of locusts flapping their wings. This sound is gathered by tens of millions of locusts, and it is comparable to the magic of some sonic attacks.

Wherever they passed, everything was chewed away, leaving only the bare earth.

"Evil thing!"

"Your end is coming!"

When the Holy Kingdom faced the locusts, it sent out the war priests of the War God. During this period, they traveled to many places and finally arrived at the border area of ​​the Holy Kingdom.

Priests wearing silver-white cassocks lined up.

Everyone was stroking the metal scripture in their hands and loudly praising the glory of God.

The dark clouds in the sky were dispersed, and beams of light fell from the thick clouds one after another, really like sacred swords piercing the evil spirits.

Of course, the locust swarm had no room for resistance when faced with the "Fist of Heaven" offensive, and was directly purified by the holy magic on the spot.

All that is left floating in the air is the ashes of the locusts.

Their souls and spirits were collected by the saints in the choir who were waiting aside, and sacrificed to a statue in some way.

The woman holding the statue is wearing a gorgeous cassock and golden mittens, and her expression is extremely pious, even fanatical.

She whispered to the statue: "My lord's God of War, the master of thousands of swords, the initiator and finisher of all wars..."

"Where exactly are you trapped by the vile earth?"

"May this war awaken your will."

After she finished speaking, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she cut her arm directly, and the pure blood belonging to the virgin fell on the majestic human-shaped statue.

The golden statue made of holy metal was instantly stained with a dark color by blood, but the statue became more and more vivid, like a warrior fighting in blood.

There is a reaction!

"My Lord..."

Just when a woman feels joy.

The light on the statue suddenly disappeared, and together with the souls and spiritual light of the exterminated locusts, they disappeared and became ordinary.

The person standing next to him couldn't help but said: "This is already the spirit and soul of hundreds of millions of locusts. Why is the God of War still unwilling to respond to us?"

This is close to the first-level Warcraft, and there are even some Locust Kings at the Second-level Warcraft level. They are different from ordinary locusts, and have been considered rare sacrifices in recent years.

If it weren't for a special situation, finding hundreds of millions of first- and second-level monsters to sacrifice... would be a lot of pressure even for them.

But even so, the War God didn't answer them.

The person who asked the question put down the holy book in his hand quite dejectedly and sighed deeply, with undisguised disappointment on his young face.

Since the locust plague broke out, they have been traveling around various areas of the Holy Kingdom, killing all the locusts with the power of Deimos, and then making sacrifices.

They expected to get the oracle of Deimos in this way, at least to find out where Deimos was imprisoned. As long as there was a specific location, no one could stop them from welcoming back the messenger of light.

But the problem is that there are already hundreds of millions of locusts!

And in order to keep the locust swarms alive and be harvested by them, they did not allow the knights from all over the place to deal with the locust swarms.

You must know that although the Holy See of Light is relatively united, there are also various factions. It is naturally impossible to allow such a locust plague to run rampant and let the people of the Kingdom of Light die.

Today is the last day given to them by other factions. If they cannot awaken the divine messenger today, such efforts will be in vain, and they must start cleaning up the locust plague.

You war envoys are very important, but aren’t we wisdom envoys, blessing envoys, and joy envoys important?

If it really gets ugly, the worst we can do is ask the divine envoys of our respective faiths, or the great and supreme Father of Light will personally make the decision.

The people in the Holy Kingdom are all believers. It is the most important belief base of the Father of Light in the main plane. There must be no loss here.

They have even thought about how to show off the miracles of the envoys and gain another wave of faith.

Disasters, although they are quite troublesome, can be turned into a means of harvesting faith if planned and operated properly.

There were also several chaotic periods on the continent of Semrio, and it was during those times that the beliefs of the seven gods were finally determined.

For gods who believe in you, if you influence them to absorb faith, they will definitely turn against you, even if they are also envoys of gods.

——Of course, the two chief priests of the War God are aware of these things, so they find it very difficult.

Can we only go outside the Holy Kingdom?

Just when they felt helpless and depressed, a powerful wave of divine power suddenly came unabashedly.

The officiant and the members of the priesthood looked at each other——

Outside the borders of the Holy Kingdom.

An army wearing thorn armor emerged from the soil quietly, growing more and more like mushrooms after the rain.

Soon an army of tens of thousands of people was formed.

Each of them was covered in thorn armor, and the thorns of the thorns dug into their exposed skin, which was already bloody.

Holy and blood red intertwined.

Just standing there makes people feel chilled by this army.

The face of the officiant Belamond, who was holding the statue of the God of War, suddenly changed:

"..."

"The Tribunal of Thorns?"

What are they doing here?

The so-called Trial of Thorns is the most violent organization in the Church of the Earth Mother. Every one of them is a fanatical believer, and they have planted the pain of the Mother Goddess, that is, thorns, on themselves.

It can be said that almost everyone is a strong man above level six. If he is a captain-level character, he must be at least level ten. The legion commander is directly at the legendary saint level.

Although she is the officiant, she is still not at the level of a cardinal. The Lord Deimos whom she believes in has gone somewhere, so she absolutely cannot defeat him.

So she thought of delaying it for a while until the legend of the Holy See came over.

"you……"

As a result, before she could ask anything, the army was walking towards the border of the Holy Kingdom. The man leading it held a big flag and walked firmly without any hesitation.

How dare they?

The Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth and the Holy See of Light have an agreement. It is a contract signed by the two gods. The land of faith is absolutely not allowed to be violated.

As a result, they actually broke into the border like this?

Now she could no longer remain calm and gave an order directly:

"attack!"

No matter what their reasons are, as long as they dare to break into the situation, it is unforgivable.

The war priests immediately began singing hymns.

"boom!"

The Fist of Heaven, which was at least dozens of times more violent than before, fell from the sky, carrying scorching holy flames, and fell towards the members of the Trial of Thorns.

However, the Tribunal of Thorns did not move.

The terrifying Heaven's Fist was rebounded by thorns the moment it fell on them, and instead smashed the War Priests to pieces.

Then they unceremoniously broke through the borders of the Holy Kingdom. Everyone pulled out their own weapons, and like tigers entering a flock of sheep, they began to kill the members of the War Priests.

It was a real slashing, and the ground was dyed red with blood in an instant.

The normally aloof priests were being slaughtered like sheep at this moment, making painful wails and screams.

The clouds that had dispersed in the sky gathered again, blocking the sunlight. It was not known whether their father of light did not want to see such a tragic situation.

In the end, in less than ten minutes, an entire group of thousand-strong war priests were wiped out, and the two chief priests were caught in front of the cardinal.

The shattered Cardinal Iona stared at the two young officiants sinisterly.

The latter also looked at him without fear.

Iona suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, then waved the long sword wrapped in thorns in his hand, and chopped off the head of the young priest with a "swish".

The movements were crisp and neat, with no hesitation at all.

Until his death, the young officiant never thought that he would dare to do something like this! His head fell into the mud mixed with blood, water and soil, and he died with his eyes open.

"younger brother!"

The eyes of another officiant, Belmond, were suddenly filled with tears.

She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down, and angrily yelled at the cardinal: "You hound of the despicable earth, you who break into the kingdom of my lord will be judged by the sword and the sword!"

The Cardinal remained unmoved by her curses.

He snatched the statue of the God of War Moss from the woman's hand and sneered: "This is indeed what you planned in the Yavanna Sacred Mine."

"The disappearance of the abyss lord Zugmoi was also caused by you, right? These locusts were cultivated by you!"

While walking on the earth during this period, he also captured some locusts for research. After all, the Church of the Earth Mother is the most in-depth force in the cultivation of Warcraft and Demonic Plants in the human world.

As a result, he discovered that the bodies of these locusts actually contained the magic power of the bugs and mycelium produced by the abyss lord Zugmoi in the Yavanna Sacred Mine at that time.

After consulting with the church's higher-ups, he determined that only the Holy See of Light in the entire Semrio continent could possess the magical fragments of that insect.

The situation at the Yavana Sacred Mine at that time was obviously the result of a game between the Angel of the Piano and one of their saints created by the Holy See of Light.

By saying what god caused Moss to be captured by an unknown powerful being, is this to deceive them as fools?

Who can instruct the angel who plays the piano?

The current situation is obviously that they use the excuse that Demos was captured to deliberately use the modified locusts to start a war, and use war and death to enhance the power of God's messenger Mos.

Such a despicable act still uses such a high-sounding excuse, the so-called light is really bad!

The more he thought about it, the angrier the cardinal threw the statue of the war god to the ground.

"Bang!"

Even the statue made of holy metal could not withstand the anger of the legend, and it broke into pieces on the spot, and the broken fragments fell next to the head of the young priest.

It soon lost its luster.

At this time, the cardinal no longer needed to get any information from the priest of the war god. What he needed was to pierce the Holy Kingdom directly.

Use the thorns of the mother goddess to make the despicable light feel pain, so that those saints and cardinals can come and talk to him in person.

Others are not worthy of communicating with him.

So he simply raised his knife and chopped off the head of the priest, and then continued to wave the flag and steadily moved towards the hinterland of the Holy Kingdom.

Behind them, with every step they took, dense thorns grew out, as if the earth was gradually invading the kingdom of light.

The bodies of the priests and the two high priests who were killed by them were submerged in thorns and blood mud. The head of the statue of Deimos fell to the ground, and there seemed to be some anger in his eyes, but it seemed not.

After the cardinal walked away, a faint colorful light appeared in the eyes of the statue, and the souls of the two high priests were swept in.

Then it completely lost its luster, as if it had never appeared.

...

As time passed slowly.

The situation outside became worse and worse.

Except for the Kingdom of Nolant, which was relatively stable, several countries outside the kingdom were all invaded by locust plagues and had no harvest.

People were displaced, and hunger was the most unbearable. The harsh environment made them unable to survive.

The lack of food brought about the collapse of order. If a person could not even eat enough, power, status and order would not mean anything to him.

So large-scale unrest broke out in many places.

Why can the nobles eat things they can never eat in their lifetime? Why can the nobles enjoy a stable life in the castle?

You have to know that Kroya has his ability and the resources of the entire sea area under the influence of the power of the mermaid virtual god, so that he can cultivate extraordinary people in this way.

But outside the North, the existence of extraordinary people is still very rare.

It is true that extraordinary people have the ability to suppress many people by one person, but let the high-ranking extraordinary people, knights and wizards suppress them?

That is unless the situation has reached an irreversible level.

For the vast majority of nobles, they only need to maintain their core territories and the territories of their retainers.

As for the rest of the ordinary people... well, of course they will still save them, but the way of saving them will definitely be different.

As for the turmoil, as long as it does not affect them, just treat it as if it did not happen, anyway, their status will not be affected.

And when they heard that the North had opened a magic academy, their minds suddenly became active-if they could send their children in... would they be able to get shelter?

As for what you said, only Croa's apprentices can enter the magic academy, that's not a problem at all.

For them, it is a great thing to let their children become apprentices of the sixth-level great magician!

So the nobles gathered together and rushed to the North.

The entrance to the North.

The well-dressed nobles are gathering here, queuing up in front of the long steel wall.

Waiting to enter the North.

This is the Gate of the North, and the only entrance to the North.

It is a huge defense facility built by Croa's apprentice Semir. A steel wall was built between the Telenas Mountains and the only entrance to the North.

It is 25 meters high and 10 meters thick. It stretches for about 30 kilometers. It looks dark and hard from a distance, reflecting the unique texture of metal.

Such a majestic and magnificent building will surprise anyone who comes here. You know, the castles of the nobles are not built entirely of metal.

But in fact, although it seems to be made of metal, it is actually a magic plant, a special magic plant called "Iron Bush".

This magic plant grows in the barren gray desert, and is generally found on iron ore and various metal veins. Depending on the different veins, the strength and magic properties will also be different.

During its growth, it will gradually absorb metal, making itself taller and harder to protect itself from being swallowed by some herbivorous monsters.

Even some natural, defensive magic patterns will grow on its surface, which is simply the ultimate in hiding.

After the apprentice Jamie brought this magic plant back from the gray desert, Cloya observed it for a while, and then heard the muttering of their star spirits-

"Not safe enough..."

"To be eaten..."

"I want to be harder!"

That's right, this magic plant really has no sense of security, so it tries its best to strengthen itself in the hope of living longer.

But the weird thing is that they are looking forward to growing taller and bigger, eager to let more creatures see them, and then use their hard shells to deal with these greedy eyes.

How to say it, it's like pretending to be cool but afraid of death.

Kroya was also enlightened. He didn't expect that such a low-level second-level magic plant could have such abundant emotions.

So he used it as a city wall without hesitation. What could be more eye-catching than the city wall at the entrance to the North?

"What a magical magic plant."

"The more eyes they have, the faster the flow of magic power will be. That is to say, if there is really a large army approaching, they will become dozens of times harder than they are now."

In the noble team, there was a woman dressed as a traveler, looking up at the majestic North Gate.

She suddenly looked forward to this place.

She took her cane and followed the crowd to slowly enter the North, crossing the majestic city wall gate.

Then a huge lake appeared in front of her.

The lake water was sparkling, and it seemed that the area was as large as one hectare. Deeper, there was space magic flowing.

After entering the lake, every noble and their descendants would be sent to the designated location by the portal inside.

Although this consumes more magic power, it is also more convenient. At least the nobles will not see the specific situation of the North.

It is temporarily opened.

The woman restrained her magic power, took off the badge of the Star Town, and stepped into the lake curiously, intending to experience the specialness of the North.

What is so special about this territory, which is not big at all on the map of the Semrio continent?

Can it make her friend Irist protect it like this?

As for the task assigned to her by the Star Town... she will have to wait until she experiences and observes the North.

She thought her disguise method was very outstanding and would not be discovered.

But she didn't know that she was located by the tower spirit the moment she stepped into the teleportation array of the Lake Gate.
