"With such a strong sacred aura, is it because someone in the empire has integrated the Tears of Asha?"
Although it was a question, Kerrigan did not expect anyone to give him this answer, but ordered his subordinates:
“Go and investigate what happened. If the Empire really unearthed the Tears of Asha, I need to know the most detailed location.
From the induction point of view, it should be the Northern Empire and At the junction of the Western Empire, it should be a grassland with not many resources. Why would the Tears of Asha be erected here? "
In front of him was an abyss lord who looked like a giant beast. He answered cautiously:
"It should be the grassland. Most of the humans controlled by the succubi are active in the Northern Empire and the Imperial Capital at this time. Do you need me to mobilize some of them to go to the grassland to have a look?"
Krigan snorted while lying on the bed. He said in one voice: "Go ahead and mobilize the spies from the Northern Empire. Don't act rashly in the Imperial Capital." Prince Erlen's humans are also on the grassland. Do you want to take this opportunity to destroy them all?"
Kerrigan suddenly sat up straight, stroked the broken horn on his head and said, "No, you guys. I just need to keep a close eye on him.
I managed to seriously injure the old guy. When we regain our strength, I will remove his lair first.
Otherwise, when the old guy recovers and performs another divine attack, we may all be knocked back into the abyss. "
The Lord of the Abyss below also said with a look of fear on his face:
"The magic of divine subjugation should not be able to exert 10% of the god's combat power, but he easily deprived it of it. I have only recovered about 20% of our abyssal origin. "
Kerrigan's body is also a god-like existence in the abyss. He snorted coldly and said:
"Humph, at this stage, strength doesn't matter. It has reached the stage of playing with the rules.
However, he is just playing at home. Do you think he dares to go to the abyss? ”
The Lord of the Abyss was sad, the God of War really did not dare to come to the abyss.
But what kind of place is the abyss? Even the rulers of the abyss like them want to escape. No matter how much they have in that place, What's the use of his advantage?
Of course, he didn't dare to say this to Kerrigan.
As the subject of the Pope's attention, Kerrigan suffered far more injuries than any of them. People.
This can be seen from the fact that the Lord of the Abyss can still move and perform tasks, but the strongest man in hell can only lie in bed to recuperate.
But it must be hard on the human side. Even the only Pope of Level 9, even an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years and hangs himself on the spring of life, cannot withstand the power of the gods.
The Divine Descent Technique, as a 9th-level Pope's ultimate move, is a nuclear bomb-level deterrent.
This kind of deterrence is most effective only when it is triggered but not triggered. Didn't you see that before this, Kerrigan was not even willing to approach the imperial capital.
But once this powerful force is used and the opponent fails to be killed at one time, the deterrence will no longer exist.
As Kerrigan lay on the bed, he did not forget to think about how to take revenge on the person who had caused him heavy harm.
As for Xu Lai, after appeasing the residents, he received a transmission request in the middle of the night.
After confirming that the request initiator came from Lion Heart City, Xu Lai made an exception and directly agreed to the transmission request at night without hesitation.
Sure enough, those who came out of the teleportation array were the temple priests from Holy Angel City.
The leading priest, whom Xu Lai is very familiar with, is none other than Crimson Bishop Duer.
Xu Lai personally greeted this crimson bishop who had given Xu Lai a lot of help.
However, Bishop Duer, whom he had not seen for a long time, did not greet Xu Lai immediately. Instead, he looked at the tall golden statue from a distance and bowed to it first.
Xu Lai knew that most of the priests, except Anna, would take the statue of the God of War more seriously.
Of course, Xu Lai has nothing to mind, let alone competing with a statue of a god.
After the group of priests finished praying, Xu Lai took the initiative to meet Duer and the others.
The two parties did not chat much in public, and exchanged a few casual greetings. Under Elena's guidance, they went to the Holy Church located in the core area of Qingfeng City.
Although Xu Lai has been to this church several times, he has never been in depth.
It was the same this time, everyone didn’t stop and went straight into the soundproofed secret room.
Not even the priest brought by Duer, the priest originally stationed at the church, and Xu Lai's guards could not enter.
Roland personally guards the door outside, and only Elvi, as the angel commander, serves as the guard in the secret room.
The news Duer brought to Xu Lai must be kept cautious and confidential.
Even Elena was in Xu Lai's favor. If it weren't for Xu Lai's relationship, she was in charge of all the priests in Qingfeng City and the grassland area. Otherwise, even if she had been promoted to Archbishop, she would still not be qualified to sit in.
Duer is so cautious about his affairs, and Xu Lai naturally has to be cautious as well.
For the time being, I abandoned all thoughts in my heart and listened intently to the news brought by Duer.
“So, you are saying that you want to move the entire pastoral college here?”
Duer shook his head and said: "Not the entire priest college, but the devout believers under the God of War, the future priests.
They are not too young to go to the battlefield now.
They are just learning and have no combat experience, and we don't even have enough teachers to train them.
Most of the teachers and main priests will still stay in the Holy City. < br>
His Majesty the Pope concluded that Kerrigan would definitely launch an attack on the Holy City
It is too dangerous to leave these little guys who have not yet grown up in the Holy City. If something happens, it will be difficult for us to atone for our fault. "
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "Indeed, they are the future of the temple, but the key is that you send them to me. Isn't it more dangerous?
Before, Bishop Neil said that I only had half a year, but now that I have erected the statue of the God of War, I am afraid that I won’t even have half a year.
If Kerrigan brings people to fight in the past two months, I really have no confidence at all to hold on. ”
Although Xu Lai has newly acquired god-level offensive skills, on the one hand, his military strength is too different from that of his opponent, especially the high-level soldiers.
In addition, the depth space is too small, and the only city he has taken back now is Fort Kaunaston.
Although Jimmy, who has been preparing for more than a month, has set off with his new legion, there is no good news yet.
But no news is good news. If he really failed, Jimmy should have asked him for help.
However, according to the current speed, it will take at least half a year or even a year to unify the grasslands.
This is why Xu Lai is eager to finish the dungeon at the expense of his own interests.
What he wanted was not to evacuate his energy, as well as Reina and the Qingfeng Legion as quickly as possible. Originally, he could also invest the Qingfeng Army to complete the unification of the grassland as soon as possible.
But after erecting the statue of the God of War, he no longer dared to send out the Qingfeng Legion at will to avoid any accidents in his hometown.
“These days are different from the past. I won’t hide it from you. His Majesty the Pope has a huge problem with his body.
With such a good opportunity, Kerrigan has a great probability. Launch a direct attack on Lionheart City
Moreover, even if he wanted to capture Qingfeng City, he would not be able to do so in a short time.
Although His Majesty the Pope took action forcefully to protect us, even Kerrigan did not expect it before His Majesty took action.
His Majesty the Pope, who has used the magic of divine descent, is already an existence beyond the rules of this world.
His Majesty the Pope made a sneak attack this time, and Kerrigan's body was almost crushed into powder.
It's a pity that the consumption of the divine descending technique is too great, otherwise he could almost send all the main forces of the Hell Legion back to hell. ”
"Divine descending technique?" Xu Lai said in surprise.
He really didn’t understand what happened in the Western Empire.
Bishop Duer sighed and said: "Yes, the divine descending technique, as the name suggests, is a top-notch magical technique that is possessed by those under the Temple of War.
This kind of magical technique needs to be performed , two conditions must be met
The first condition is that you must be a favored person under the God of War. Only the favored ones of the gods have the least repulsion with the gods and can accommodate the divine power to the maximum extent. .”
As he said that, Bishop Duer glanced at Xu Lai and said: "Beloved by the gods are not born, they need to be cultivated later.
The body of the favored by the gods must be infiltrated by divine power for a long time. When they cannot come directly to the main material world, the gods can only use objects to baptize the gods' favored ones."
Xu Lai is not unfamiliar with the title of gods' favored ones. When he was underground, The dracolich he met said he was a favored one by the gods.
And because of his consistent good luck, Xu Lai also felt that he should be the one favored by God.
Especially when he went to the City of Holy Angels, he was inexplicably given the obelisk map of the God of War by the Pope.
Xu Lai thought that he seemed to have gradually been favored by the temple and received various help after obtaining the feet of the God of War.
“You look at me like this, don’t you think that I am also a favored one by God?”
Xu Lai asked cautiously, he was already very sure in his heart, but he couldn’t explain why I don't want to assume this identity.
Because in good conscience, Xu Zi admitted that he had never taken advantage of the temple. At most, everyone helped each other. Even if it was an advantage, he only owed the favor of the map.
Duer originally asked him to go to the grassland alone, hoping that Xu Lai could deal a heavy blow to the orc logistics troops in the stronghold with his own strength.
Although in fact he did it, the degree of danger at the time was far beyond what an opportunity to study at a military academy and a pair of knight's gloves could make up for.
Duer chuckled and said: "As far as I know, apart from His Majesty the Pope, the only person in this world who has personally given items by His Majesty the God of War is you, little brother Xu.
But you Half a year ago, I didn’t know whether you were the one favored by God, but from today on, the identity of being the favored one is none other than you.
There is no other item in the world that can match the infiltration effect of fusion. Where is the statue of the God of War that has received the Tears of Asha?”
Xu Lai subconsciously touched the medal on his chest and asked, “Is it possible that after becoming a favored one by the God, he may be possessed by the God of War at any time? ?”
"Possession? Haha, you think too simply.
First of all, the divine descent technique is not a possession technique. What descends from the Temple of War is only its own divine authority and power.
It is impossible for the consciousness of His Highness to descend, otherwise the main consciousness of the divine body will be instantly obliterated.
Secondly, communicate to the heaven, connect to the God of War, and use magic to break the barrier of the main material world. How can ordinary magic be able to accommodate the divine authority and power under the God of War? "
"Well, according to what you said, divine descending is not an ordinary magic and cannot be used casually?"
Duer shook his head and said: "Of course you can't cast it casually. The power of the divine descending spell has already exceeded the limit of what this world can accommodate.
Therefore, this spell will not only be punished by casting the forbidden spell. , but also to be squeezed by the will of the world.
The most important thing is that the power and power of the God of War are too great. Even if it exists in this world for a second, it will be a kind of horrific destruction to the body. .
The Pope still had to bear Kerrigan's desperate counterattack, and he barely persisted until he returned to the Holy City, and then immediately retreated to recover.
However, under normal circumstances, His Majesty used divine magic. , you only need to lose two or three years of life, and you can recover in about a year if you are weak
But this time, the Pope was seriously injured and his body was infected by the abyss. It is really hard to say when he will recover.
Even if we can barely recover a little bit, it will still be far from the period of His Majesty the Pope's complete victory.
If Kerrigan gives up this great opportunity, he may be beaten directly back into the abyss by His Majesty at any time next time.
If it were you, knowing that an opponent who has the ability to kill you is in extreme weakness, would you first find a way to deal with this only threat? "
Xu Lai said: "If I really have only one enemy in this world, then I will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. ”
Duer said solemnly: "In any case, you heroes from heaven have only been in this world for less than a year.
No matter how much Kerrigan takes you to heart, he will never think that you and the Pope How can your Majesty be compared?
However, he is willing to believe in you, and he is also willing to do his best to buy you more time, even if the cost is likely to be his life and the lives of the other bishops. ”
When Xu Lai heard this, he was also in awe.
If Kerrigan really changes his goal, the time Xu Lai will get will definitely be more than half a year.
"I understand. It just so happens that the outer city wall of Qingfeng City is about to be built, and most of the areas are vacant. You bringing the church members and apprentices here will also be a huge help to Qingfeng City.
I will come tomorrow Let Su Ya come to you. She plans the residence and land for the believers in the temple on my behalf."
Duer waved his hand and said: "No, I don't have time to stay here. When I come here, I just want to confirm the statue of the God of War and say hello to you.
I will leave some priests to assist Elena. You should communicate with Elena about everything. >
After the list of congregation members who need to be moved is compiled, I will send it to her and we will make plans then. ”
Xu Lai nodded, and seeing that Duer was about to leave, he asked again:
"By the way, you just said that there are two necessary conditions for performing the divine descending technique. One of them is a person favored by the gods, and the other Where is one? "
Duer glanced at Xu Lai and said with a smile: "The other condition is not difficult. If you become the pope of the temple, you are qualified to read and learn the art of divine descending.
Of course, becoming a pope is not actually a necessary condition, but this spell is always taught to the new pope by the previous pope." (End of this chapter)
