Lord of War

In the center of the territory of the Northern Principality Federation, there is a huge city.

This city has no city walls, and the roads are also square parallel roads. The whole city looks like a huge building complex that is laid out according to the Jiugong grid. However, the most central part of the Jiugong grid is a mountain peak about 500 meters high.

At the top of the peak is a resplendent palace complex building. There is only one road up the mountain, but the stairs on the mountain road are paved with square white stones. This kind of stone is famous for its whiteness and smoothness. Even if there are any mud marks left, it will return to whiteness as long as it is washed with water, so this kind of stone is mostly used for paving the steps of the temple.

This huge palace complex on the top of the mountain is the famous Marz Cathedral in the Northern Principality Federation.

And this road to the top of the mountain paved with white light stones of 3,666 yuan per foot is called the Road of the God of War.

The nine-square-grid building complex built around this mountain peak is all a city that serves the Marz Cathedral on the top of the mountain.

Here is the core of the Church of the God of War.

Including the mortal leader of the Church of God of War, the two holy sons, and all the powerful figures of the Church of God of War, they all live in the Great Cathedral of Marz on the peak of God of War. In addition to handling daily church affairs, this cathedral is actually also the parliamentary venue of the Northern Principality Federation in private, and it is also the terminal point for all participating in the Principality Parade—every day, countless members of the Northern Principality Federation will board In this Marz Cathedral, the blessing ceremony of the God of War is carried out.

According to each person's character, belief piety, and disposition, etc., the gains that can be obtained in the ceremony of God of War's blessing are also different.

some people. Get rich overnight here.

Some people will inherit the title here.

some people. Here will be the cabinet church.

Of course, more people suddenly plummeted - regardless of your background. Family background, but once you can't get the blessing that matches your birth and family background in the God of War blessing ceremony, then you will be worthless from now on.

However, today, the entire Marz Cathedral shows an extremely indescribably dull atmosphere.

Not only temporarily stopped all the teenagers who had completed the tour of the principality from going up the mountain to receive the God of War blessing, even the "God of War Legion" under the Church of God of War was dispatched, and a very tight defensive formation was set up along the entire mountain of God of War. And some sharp-eyed and insightful teenagers even discovered that there are guards from the thirty-six principalities of the Northern Principality Federation near the God of War Mountain. All participated in the defense.

at this time. The people residing in the Holy City of Marz all smelled an unusual and special aura.

Compared with the astonishment of those people in the city below the mountain, the Hall of God of War located in the Marz Cathedral - this is also the place where the thirty-six principalities signed the "Northern Principalities Alliance Offensive and Defensive Alliance Convention" when the Northern Principalities Federation was established. In the place——, the atmosphere seemed quite dull and stagnant. A heavy atmosphere of pressure enveloped the entire Hall of God of War. The thirty-nine people sitting around the huge round table in the Hall of God of War all had very ugly expressions after reading the document placed in front of them.

There are old and young among these people. The youngest are only twenty-four or five years old, while the oldest are seventy or eighty-year-olds with wrinkled faces.

But whether they are young or old, they all have a very unique aura of majesty.

It's not a big man who has been in a high position for a long time and holds the power of life and death. It is difficult to form this temperament.

But there is one more subtle thing, that there are thirty-nine people sitting around the huge round table present, but there are forty black high-back chairs.

Everybody knows. The only vacant chair was reserved for a new saint named Emily.

at this time. The saint is on her way to the Cathedral of Marz.

When I first heard the news,

The thirty-six grand dukes were just listening to the news. I didn't pay much attention to it, because gossip like this would always reach their ears from time to time. Of course, it has been proved afterwards that these news are not true, and those who spread such rumors often end up not so well. But today, when the thirty-six grand dukes present saw the 40th extra chair at the God of War table, they knew the news this time was true.

If it was the past, they would definitely be very happy, because the Church of God of War has one more saint, which means that the strength of the Northern Principality Federation has been strengthened.

But this time, there was no joy on their faces.

The reason is simple, it is the document before them.

The content of the document is very simple, there are only a few sheets of paper, and only a few paragraphs are written on each sheet. But the content revealed in each piece of paper is enough to make everyone present look ugly, and even panic that they don't know how to deal with it.

What was written on the first page was that the Knights of the Dark Side of the St. Joles Empire and the four chief paladins were passing through the territory of the Northern Duchy Federation at this time, and they had already crossed five duchies. territory. If it weren't for some accident that caused the Dark Knights to clash with a mercenary group performing escort missions, and then exposed their whereabouts, the Northern Principality Federation would still be kept in the dark.

And by following the trail of the Dark Knights, they also discovered the traces of the four chief paladins of the St. Joels Empire, and naturally discovered that they seemed to be performing some secret mission during this trip. The dark side knights and the four chief paladins can make a move together, I am afraid that the origin of the person being escorted is not simple.

If you don't know, the North Principality Federation doesn't matter, anyway, let them pass by.

But now, since they knew that the people of the St. Joles Empire were secretly crossing the territory of the Commonwealth of the Principality via the Commonwealth of the Northern Principality, and they continued to act as if they knew nothing at this time, it would be a joke for this matter to spread. Not to mention anything else, several neighboring countries will definitely think that the Northern Principality Federation is a bunch of cowards, especially the vassal state of the St. Joles Empire. It will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and the border conflict will become more tragic by then.

If this matter. The embarrassing thing for everyone is whether to send troops to interfere with the St. Joles Empire, then what is written on the second page. It simply made many grand dukes present complain endlessly.

"The Peace Council went deep into the Northern Principality Federation and eradicated a chamber of commerce that was in collusion with the devil, and is still hunting down the fish that slipped through the net."

On the second page, there was only such a sentence, but when everyone saw the name of the chamber of commerce and looked at the several grand dukes present, there was a look of sympathy on their faces—because these grand dukes happened to be He has close contacts with the chamber of commerce of that demon cultist. However, the leader of the Church of God of War and the two holy sons in the first seat had very gloomy expressions, and it could even be said that their eyes were extremely unkind.

Because it is well known. Those who collude with demons and devils are naturally pagans.

And eradicating heretics is the common responsibility of all churches on the continent.

However, who would have thought that in this country that only believed in Marz, the god of war, there would be collusion between believers of the god of war and demon believers. If the leader of the church of the god of war and the two holy sons could look good, that would be the real hell.

At this moment, when these grand dukes received this intelligence document, several envoys from the Peace Council who were in charge of diplomatic matters. Already on the way to Maltz Cathedral. If this kind of thing gets out, it won't be these grand dukes who will be ashamed, but the entire Church of God of War will be affected by it, and it may even be exaggerated to say the least. The basic level of people's beliefs will be impacted and shaken. This is not what the Church of God of War—especially the leader of the Church of God of War wants to see.

His ambition is to develop the Northern Principality Federation into the second St. Joels Empire on the mainland.

"Have you finished reading it?" asked the leader of the Church of God of War, who was located above the first seat. Shen Sheng asked.

The thirty-eight people present all bowed their heads in silence.

These two problems at the moment obviously make them very embarrassed. Especially the second question. When the people from the Peace Council come to the door, they will definitely push some dead ghosts out to die. But it would be nice if that would solve the problem. If the Peace Council really wants to make a fuss, the Church of God of War will really lose face. This is even more embarrassing than letting people from the St. Joels Empire cross the territory of the Northern Principality Federation.

As if he had known for a long time that there would be such a silent scene, the leader of the church snorted coldly, and then said: "Over there at the Peace Council, those of you who have a close personal relationship with the Medusa Chamber of Commerce, choose some of them yourself. For the dead, let's deal with it cleanly and settle this matter before the diplomats from the Peace Council arrive... As for the St. Joels Empire, we have nothing to do with the four chief paladins, but the rumored dark They must keep at least half of the Face Knights."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to have four major paladin commanders?" someone raised an objection.

"I will send three legendary powerhouses, and each of you will either send out a high-ranking sanctuary powerhouse, or send out your personal guard group."

"This..." After hearing the words of the leader of the Church of God of War, many grand dukes protested.

Those grand dukes who rank high in overall strength may not care, but those who rank after twenty are very heartbroken. Because they only have one strong man from the upper sanctuary, and they still exist as a strong man in the principality, so they can't be sent out easily. As for the personal guards around them, they are also elite legion forces built with huge sums of money. As long as the casualties exceed two achievements, they will be heartbroken to death.

"It's not negotiable!" The leader of the church waved his hand, with an attitude that could not be refuted.

He originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to ruthlessly cheat the thirty-six Grand Dukes in order to strengthen the control and influence of the Church of the God of War, so he would not allow these Grand Dukes to bargain here. For him, it can not only hit the St. Joles Empire, but also weaken those weaker grand dukes at the same time, thus forcing them to be more closely linked with the Church of God of War and become the echo of the Church of God of War. The leader of the Church of God of War, who has always been ambitious, will not let it go easily.

"If that's the case, why didn't you let the two holy sons take action?" There were still some people who were not reconciled, and immediately asked scoldingly, regardless of some etiquette.

When it comes to the vital interests of the nobles, no noble will easily back down.

"Okay, Master Suan Suo and I will take people to deal with the Dark Knights." A blond young man sitting on the left-hand seat of the church leader said suddenly. "On the side of Pure White Wings, it will be up to you thirty-six princes to deal with it."

hear this. The faces of the thirty-six grand dukes present became even uglier.

Pure White Wings is a rank nine army, and the combat effectiveness of this legion is very strong. Enough to make legendary powerhouses of the thirteenth and fourth tiers dare not confront each other head-on. One of the main reasons why the Northern Principality Federation has not fought the St. Joles Empire head-on so far is that they really do not have the confidence to fight head-on with this knight order, which is known as the strongest in the whole continent. If it's just containment, then it can be done, but once the White Wing Knights really try their best, unless the two holy sons descend directly, it is impossible to stop it.

In the entire Miracle Continent, the superpowers have transcended the general restrictions and balances, and they cannot be dealt with by mere "armies".

Even the most powerful legion of the Maggie Empire, the "Holy Puppet", can only make the legendary peak powerhouse cast a rat-eye.

If you want to deal with superpowers, only those who are also in the ranks of superpowers can deal with them.

"Oh. That's right." Another blond young man on the right seat also said with a smile at this time, "I heard that there is another demon god coming to us, and the task of guarding against that demon god will be entrusted to you by the way. you guys."

"Masters, you two are joking." Immediately, some people broke out in cold sweat.

"Who is joking with you?" The holy son on the left-hand seat, that is, Bizos, snorted coldly, "Isn't it stated in the third information? The seventh demon god Edward has entered the territory of the principality. I don't know what he wants to do, but judging from his movements, it is obvious that he is searching for something. There is no guarantee that we will fight a tough battle...Since Mr. Su Fonso and I are going to deal with the Dark Knights, these two things The troublesome things will naturally be left to you."

"How dare you bother His Royal Highnesses to deal with such a trivial matter as the Dark Knights? We'll just do it." Someone said with a smile immediately.

Bizos snorted coldly. However, he no longer spoke sarcasm.

It is true that he, Su Fangso and the leader of the church are competing for the power of the God of War church, but there is a prerequisite for this, and the safety and existence of the God of War church must be ensured. This is the responsibility that he and Su Fangso can never shirk. Therefore, in the face of the pressure of the White Wing Knights to station troops on the border, and the entry of Edward the Confessor. Naturally, they also want to contribute to this.

However, the two of them each brought a legendary powerhouse with them, and if it was not necessary, they would definitely not easily sacrifice their lives in vain.

"There are a few other things. You must pay attention to them." Seeing that these few things have been almost arranged, the leader of the Church of God of War said suddenly, "My lord Marz sent an oracle a few days ago. , an extremely powerful aura of fate broke into this world, he asked us to pay close attention and pay close attention, and if possible, try to bring the owner of that aura of fate back for a living sacrifice."

The faces of everyone present suddenly changed, but soon, excitement appeared on their faces.

No one knows better than them what it means to perform a living sacrifice before the God of War.

Once the living sacrifice is successful, Maltz will send down a lot of divine gifts!

These divine rewards are not the rewards that usually come down when the God of War ceremony is held, but the real practical rewards that can greatly enhance the strength!

Of course, the most important thing is that this is a collective reward for everyone present!

Especially the three grand dukes present, after they looked at each other, their eyes showed extremely fanatical expressions.

These three grand dukes are the top three grand dukes in terms of comprehensive strength among the thirty-six duchies of the Northern Duchy Federation. And they were also the biggest beneficiaries of the last live sacrifice. After all, the principality where the three grand dukes belonged to contributed the most when the target of the live sacrifice designated by Maltz was hunted down last time—in fact, it was precisely because the three of them People became the biggest beneficiaries of the last living sacrifice, so they became the three duchies with the strongest overall strength among the thirty-six duchies in one fell swoop.

What the other grand dukes care about is that if they contribute enough this time, maybe they can also rank among the higher-ranked grand duchies.

But only these three grand dukes knew that the real benefits were not what they saw on the surface, but the legendary powerhouse they were hiding in their respective principalities at this time.

That is the biggest harvest in the living sacrifice!

Therefore, no matter what, they decided that the goal of the living sacrifice must be taken down. Because only in this way can the comprehensive strength of the Principality they represent be improved.

The leader of the church had a panoramic view of the expressions of these eunuchs, and naturally knew what they were thinking in his heart. It's just that he doesn't care, because if the strength of these principalities is improved, it also means that the strength of the Church of God of War has been improved. If the living sacrifice ceremony this time can be successful, maybe the Church of God of War can cultivate a few more secret weapons, and maybe even have the strength to truly challenge the St. Jolls Empire.

"I have to remind everyone, after discovering the target of the living sacrifice, don't act blindly and casually. The oracle sent by my lord Marz has already reminded that the opponent this time is probably not weak." The leader of the Church of God of War said again, "There may even be some other twists and turns and unnecessary troubles on the way, so please proceed with caution." (To be continued...) R1292
