Chapter 26 The Betrayer
"It's troublesome..."
Locke let out a sigh.
Why didn't His Majesty Serres start the conscription with much fanfare after Bolton was promoted to the Holy Realm and launched a conquest against the Temple of Light?
Don’t you think that Bolton’s strength is not enough to survive in the hands of those two saints?
In that case, starting a war for no reason only to fail again would definitely shake the people of the Frost and Snow Empire's faith in the Lord God, and significantly reduce the power of faith that Seres had collected.
However, after being born in the Sanctuary, you can freely choose whether to become the leader of an army to conquer the Temple of Light. This is a rule set by Seres himself. He cannot let Bolton give up his idea for this reason.
Therefore, Seres asked Bolton to choose new members of the Fifth Legion to delay the time and wait for the birth of a new sanctuary during this period.
After the Tsunami Legion was successfully formed, Seres had no reason to stop Bolton, so he used his spiritual consciousness to find new sanctuaries in the Frost and Snow Empire with the mentality of giving it a try.
Locke, this is a case of being connected.
Of course, this is not a bad thing for Locke.
If he is found by Seres in another twenty years, he will face being expelled from the Wakanda plane.
According to His Majesty Seres's idea, with him and Bolton here, not to mention victory, at least he can maintain a confrontation with the two saints from the Temple of Light.
And now, killing Bolton by himself means that he will face the two saints from the Temple of Light alone.
The reason why His Majesty Seres didn't say anything now is because after the establishment of the Fifth Legion, rumors of a conquest of the Temple of Light have been released, and a conquest must be carried out.
If he wins, His Majesty Seres will gain a large wave of people's faith, and Locke will also receive a reward from His Majesty Seres.
But if Locke loses...
Shaking his head, Locke shook the thought of "he would lose" out of his mind.
Thinking that you will lose before the war even starts is not the attitude of a strong person.
……
On this day, the Tsunami Legion set off from the Imperial Capital of the Frost and Snow Empire in a mighty manner. People stood on both sides of the street, waving Frost and Snow flags, to see the Tsunami Legion off.
As the commander of the Tsunami Legion, Locke also made his official appearance in front of everyone for the first time.
The forty-eight-year-old Locke still looks like a handsome young man, but no one who sees Locke would think that Locke is younger than them.
After all, everyone knows that in the Frost and Snow Empire, the only people who can serve as legion commanders are those from the holy realm.
And the longevity of a strong man in the holy realm is boundless. You can't judge the age of a strong man in the holy realm from his appearance.
What can be seen from the appearance is just the age of the strong men in the holy realm when they broke through.
A ninth-level expert can live up to five hundred years, and he can be considered a "youth" until he is three hundred and fifty years old.
Three hundred and fifty to four hundred and thirty years old is considered "middle age".
Only those over 430 years old are considered "old".
Judging from Locke's appearance, they could only tell that Locke broke through the holy realm before he was three hundred and fifty years old.
As for the specific age, I am afraid that only a god-level expert can judge from the breath of life.
The movements in the Frost and Snow Empire cannot be hidden from the Temple of Light at all.
In other words, whether it was the Temple of Light attacking the Frost and Snow Empire, or the Frost and Snow Empire attacking the Temple of Light, the top leaders of both sides had no intention of hiding anything.
The power of belief comes from the inner recognition and fanaticism of the people.
The Pope of the Temple of Light and the Emperor of the Frost and Snow Empire both serve their respective gods.
After years of research, they naturally discovered that waging war was the best way to gather the power of faith.
Therefore, when the Wakanda continent has been at peace for a long time and the collection of the power of faith has fallen into a weak state, both sides will tacitly start a new war and let the war stimulate the people to generate more power of faith. However, it is impossible for them to tell the people below this fact.
It just so happens that a Sanctuary is born in the Wakanda plane almost every few decades.
The Pope of the Temple of Light and the Emperor of the Frost and Snow Empire handed over the initiators of the war to the hands of the newly promoted Saints.
In order to obtain more benefits, or more training guidance or resources, the newly promoted saints are also happy to start a war.
It can be said that every war is a carnival between two god-level warriors from the Wakanda plane.
After learning about the Frost and Snow Empire's movements, the Temple of Light naturally made its own response.
More than 100,000 knights, led by two great priests of the Holy Domain, gathered at the border between the two forces and began to set up defenses.
When Locke led the Tsunami Legion through the Bidia Territory and entered the battlefield between the two forces, the Temple of Light had already built a city wall.
The cold wind is biting.
A legion of 100,000 people lined up neatly in a square formation behind Locke.
Viewed from a high altitude, the spears are densely packed like thorns all over the ground.
Locke's figure slowly rose into the air, suspended two hundred meters in the air in the center of the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, the knights on the city wall on the side of the Temple of Light couldn't help but take a few steps back.
This is a strong man from the holy realm!
A big sneeze can destroy them and the city wall beneath them.
In the face of such a majestic existence, no one is without fear.
But soon, in the city wall on the side of the Temple of Light, a strong man from the sanctuary wearing a white magic robe flew to the opposite side of Locke.
"Won't you learn from the heresy of the Frost and Snow Empire?"
"We defeated heretics like you more than 20 years ago, and now you are here to die again?"
"Death?"
Locke shook his head: "This great priest, do you think that after the battle more than 20 years ago, we are not confident enough and will launch another conquest against you traitors?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty Seres, for the treaty you made with your Pope,"
"In the first three years of the war, the Holy Land must not take action."
"This gives you two despicable traitors three more years to live."
"Enjoy your last three years."
"I will show no mercy to you."
Locke's words made the great priest of the Temple of Light across from him glare in anger, wanting to kill Locke immediately.
However, as Locke said, if there is no certain certainty, will the Frost and Snow Empire start a war again?
And, to some extent, Locke was right.
In the Temple of Light, except for the Pope, all other high-ranking officials are betrayers.
They were all betrayers who betrayed the Frost and Snow Empire and switched to the Temple of Light under the instigation of the Pope of the Temple of Light.
