No one knew about the battle between gods that took place in the ice and snow, but the consequences soon became apparent.
After the fall of the Ruler of the Abyss, the high priest who had controlled the Abyss Order for nearly a hundred years also disappeared. There were various speculations about this, but none of them could change the fact that After losing the high priest, the entire Abyss Cult was leaderless.
As the second demigod of mankind and the founder of the Abyss Order, the High Priest of the Abyss has extremely terrifying influence in this country. He is the de facto spiritual and practical leader. His disappearance is by no means just It's as simple as missing a demigod.
Especially at the critical time when facing the invasion of the Witch Empire, the disappearance of the High Priest of the Abyss simply made matters worse.
The entire Abyss Religion fell into chaos almost immediately. The top management of the Abyss Religion was also in constant disputes. Some people wanted to resist foreign enemies, but more people were thinking about how to fight for power and benefit themselves or those they supported. , sitting on the high priest's throne.
In this case, the situation on the front line that was originally relatively stable suddenly deteriorated, and it continues to deteriorate.
More than one legion of the Abyss Religion was betrayed by their own people because they belonged to different factions, and were sent to the gunpoint of the Witch Empire. Once this kind of thing started, there was no way to end it. It's possible, it will only get worse.
The infighting side of human beings is vividly displayed at this moment.
The soldiers on the front line are fighting to resist the external enemies, while the big shots in the rear are thinking about how to get rid of their competitors and their supporters, sacrificing others for this purpose. No matter what.
And this kind of internal fighting, because of the special situation of the Abyss Religion, is also mixed with a considerable degree of faith struggle. This is more intense than ordinary political struggles, and it is also more bloody and cruel!
After all, to believers, heretics are more hateful than pagans.
Disputes over interests can be reconciled by mutual compromise, but differences in beliefs often end in one party destroying the other.
The bloody level of the internal fighting shocked even the invader Witch Empire and trembled because of it, saying that these religious lunatics could not be offended at all. Compared with them, the Witch Empire’s internal Those disputes can only be regarded as children's play house.
It is precisely because of this that the Witch Empire did not or did not dare to accept the overtures of those religious sects. Instead, it selected some moderates from the Abyss priests who surrendered to them to help the Witch Empire control the Abyss. The territory and people of the Order.
After promising not to outlaw the belief in the Lord of the Abyss, the whole process went surprisingly smoothly.
Originally, the Abyss Order is not a normal country, but a group organized in the form of religion. In the eyes of many people, faith is more important than anything else, which naturally includes sovereignty. As long as faith is not touched, then Everything is easy to say.
And for most people, beliefs are not that extreme. After the disappearance of the high priest, the bloody and brutal killings by the high-level leaders of the sect, as well as the intensified religious conflicts, have been rejected by most people. rejection and hostility.
After all, religious lunatics are only a minority, and most people just want to live a stable life, instead of burning others to death as heretics today and being burned to death as heretics by others tomorrow, and the Witch Empire doesn't care at all. Whatever you believe, as long as you don't cause trouble, it is in line with what most people think.
With the help of the moderates, the invasion or unification of the Witch Empire progressed rapidly, and soon they reached the capital of the original religious order and marched to the city. Although there are frictions and contradictions between the Witch Empire and the moderate factions in many places, and they need to be gradually reconciled in the future, both sides agree on one thing, that is, it is best to send these religious lunatics in the rear to meet the great Abyss Dominator. who.
After all, a considerable part of the moderates are the people who were betrayed in the past, and the Witch Empire does not want to leave these thorns behind. After all, it is foreseeable that once the Abyss Cult is completely conquered, it will become the Witch Empire. A considerable part of them will definitely enter the center of the empire and share power.
They don’t want these radical religious elements to enter the center, otherwise the political struggle in the future may change from playing house to sending each other to the stake. This would be too terrifying.
So after conquering the capital, both sides quickly eliminated these religious radicals and stabilized the situation of the Abyss Order. Although there were still ups and downs in general, this vast territory was still included in the Witch Empire. in its rule.
This result shocked everyone. No one could have imagined that the Abyss Order, which had coexisted for nearly a hundred years, would be conquered in such a dramatic way and in such a short period of time. It was also known to the world after all. One of the three great empires!
Even the radicals within the Witch Empire did not dare to dream of such a dream, but it happened just like that, which also led to an instant reversal of the war situation.
The Witch Empire, which originally fought on two fronts and was on the verge of collapse, not only relieved the huge pressure after conquering the Abyss Order, but also gained a large number of servants, who were mobilized to fight against the fringes. country to fight.
Now the Edge Country is completely numb. Originally, they were no match for the Witch Empire. They completely relied on the Empire to start a war on two fronts. They could not withstand the pressure and failed. Therefore, the strategy they formulated was to delay, as long as If you drag it on, you can win.
And among the Three Kingdoms, the country on the edge is the weakest. In their opinion, the Witch Empire must be facing a protracted war against the Abyss Cult. After all, the difficulty of religious lunatics is obvious to all, but they did not expect the result. While this side was still holding on, the Abyss Cult disappeared first. It was simply outrageous to open the door for outrageousness. It was so outrageous!
Religious lunatics are indeed terrifying, but the first blow was directed at one of their own, giving the Witch Empire a huge advantage.
But no matter what, the disadvantage of the Border Country was destined and was still expanding rapidly. In the end, after losing a series of battlefields, running out of oil, and seeing internal chaos coming, the royal family of the Border Country had to ask the witch The empire surrendered and took off its crown.
At this point, two of the three empires have been destroyed. The Witch Empire became the final winner, and with the momentum of great victory, it began to sweep away many other small forces. After several years of hard work, the entire continent Nominally it has been completely unified by the Witch Empire.
After more than twenty years of war, the human empire that was destroyed in the Age of Destruction was finally established again, and Tia was crowned the queen of all humans, possessing supreme power. .
This new human empire did not embark on the path of civil strife without external enemies, because the monsters from the underworld were always eyeing them, giving them enough pressure and motivation. After the brief aftermath of the war, it ushered in ushered in a more prosperous era.
One hundred and thirty-sixth year in the Witch Calendar, the Human Empire was established.
In the 141st year of the witch calendar, humans launched a counterattack against the monsters in the underworld. A large number of demigods participated in the battle, and neither side could win or lose.
