The Church of Light did nothing.

They are demon killers, the real experts in fighting demons in the world. They know that fighting wild monsters is not worth spending, and it is not something that humans have ever used.

The power of the demons is not how much stronger they are than humans, but their endless numbers. It only takes less than a year from the birth of a little devil to give birth to the next generation of little devils!

!

No matter how many come in now, once this thing spreads for decades or hundreds of years, it will be difficult to eradicate. We can only wait for the war to be over and slowly deal with it.

Of course, if you are willing to consider the Church of Light as the state religion, it is not beyond negotiation.

To truly solve the little devil, we can only rely on comprehensive militarization. This is also the most basic requirement for all countries in the world during the Three Realms War.

It is a pity that the three hundred years of stability that have been barely managed have ruined the whole world. No matter how much appeal was made before, they are just unwilling to spend more money to prepare their military forces.

As early as when the Chaos Star Lerigalu flew over the main world, the Church of Light had been completely appointed, and the Pope had made a decision. This time the Church of Light would return to the oldest method to determine the outcome.

This ancient method is to use mobile warfare to directly kill the promoters of the demon clan, or to put it more romantically, it is a form of brave men attacking the demon king.

There are two ways to achieve it, rush directly to the demon world, or wait for them to show up in the exile or the human world.

Obviously, after nearly three hundred years of information interruption, rushing directly to the demon world is purely seeking death. Even if the number of members of the Church of Light is comparable to that of some smaller countries, it is a world on the other side, and only a few left can command it. With the entire demon army, things cannot be settled.

The Church of Light has full trust in its own divine warriors, but this is a game that humans cannot afford to lose and cannot bet on, especially after the timeline is extended infinitely, the Church of Light cannot afford to bet on it.

Assuming that the Church of Light runs out of power this time, won’t future kings of Saint Anthony break away from the divine authority? Once the source of funding is lost, the decline of the Light Church is easily foreseeable.

What about the next Three Realms War?

Was there still a Church of Light at that time? Without the Church of Light, can pure humanity survive only by relying on the Madonnas of the Church of Life and the mental illness of the Church of Nature?

Therefore, whether for its own sake or the overall situation, the Church of Light did not react after receiving the news of the demon attack.

...It’s not that there was no reaction at all, their church personnel still expressed regret and condemnation to the outside world.

There is no point in condemning the demons. The main thing is to condemn the country where the incident occurred.

People who have not been brainwashed by high-density information are still a little thin-skinned. Lei Mingguo and the other two affected countries quickly mobilized their troops.

In fact, the country with the worst actions was the Thunder Kingdom. The other two countries had already sent troops before the announcement of the Light Church was delivered.

The parliamentary form of the Thunder Kingdom sounds quite advanced, but after several generations, there are only a very small number of people who still care about the country more than their own interests. It is very common to blame each other in the parliament.

The other two are still backward royal systems, but under the royal power system, the king has the unshirkable responsibility to protect his own land, and he still has the initiative. However, the military system based on the aristocracy seems a bit cumbersome and the efficiency is average. It takes a few royal orders from the rear to stop them. Move quickly.

Marching to fight is more important than fighting. Poor marching ability is the biggest weakness of heavy cavalry advocated by many people.

It's similar in this magical world. Among non-magic users, heavy soldiers are an effective force against demons.

Heavy armor can provide protection from some magic attacks. If the effect is not good enough, plating it with a layer of gold can significantly improve it.

The problem is that neither heavy cavalry nor heavy infantry have the ability to maneuver over long distances on their own!

There are two effective solutions.

One is to prepare more horses. One horse plus the infantry itself is enough to complete the full equipment maneuver of the heavy infantry... It seems to have become a cavalry, but it is still considered an infantry, because the horses are not mounted, and mules and camels are used. The effect is the same. Heavy cavalry is similar, but to maintain higher mobility than infantry, one more horse may be needed.

The second is to use a large number of accompanying mages to enchant infantry and cavalry...Obviously it is even more outrageous, because the cost of cultivating mages is infinitely more expensive than that of animals, and the mages are drained on the road, and they are exhausted in the combat area. Waiting for the mage to recover would delay the opportunity for combat.

The former would double the cost of arming ordinary soldiers, while the latter was even more difficult to accept. The two powers harmed each other, whichever was the lesser. After sending out elite troops, several countries also began to rectify their resources and try to build a fully armored army of sufficient scale.

It's okay to use elite troops occasionally, but if a large number of them die, regardless of whether they care about money and talents, the foundation of their rule may be shaken.

Therefore, there must be an army specifically designed to deal with the demons, and the cost of individual soldiers is not so high.

Mainly equipped with armor, heavy crossbows, lances, spears and other equipment. Even if the vast majority of heavy-armed units composed of ordinary soldiers die, as long as the enemy can be driven back in the end, some of the equipment can still be recycled and reused, as long as the shelves are set up. , the subsequent costs are barely acceptable.

When the three countries involved in the two gates were at odds with each other, Life Church also took action.

One of the three countries involved is called the Kingdom of Junis, where there is the Fountain of Youth, one of the holy cities of the Church of Life.

Unlike the situation of Sun City in the Kingdom of Saint Anthony, the city where the Fountain of Youth is located has already been returned to the Kingdom of Junis, so it is not just a holy city, but also has municipal and commercial parts.

The Fountain of Youth can be traced back to the elven dynasty in ancient times. However, the elven kingdom later disappeared and the place belonged to humans. Only then did the Church of Life have enough power to take over and make it one of the holy cities.

As a holy city of a transnational church, similar to Sun City, the Fountain of Youth also has a large group of magicians. In a city with a population of 500,000, at least 20% of them have been exposed to magic. Regardless of the first level, all those who can use second level and above spells Tens of thousands.

The Church of Life is famous for its many virgins, so of course the king of Junis immediately came here to ask for help.

The Church of Life generally does not interfere in wars between countries, but it did not shirk much in the face of the invasion of demons. It sent hundreds of priests to the front lines to help with treatment. There were also a small number of them who could use resurrection magic, and they could barely resurrect a few warriors selectively. Dead soldiers.

Although the resurrection for outsiders requires finding body parts and the death cannot last too long, it can at least reduce some losses. For example, a few soldiers have fighting spirit themselves, and resurrecting one is equivalent to at least ten fewer deaths.

Because of the existence of resurrection, even as long as the pastoral team of the Life Church stands behind the army, the army's combat effectiveness can be improved.

The brothers Lei Mingguo and Next Door are not so lucky. Both countries are considered the territory of the Church of Nature, and these lunatics are not as easy to fool as the Holy Mother.

In the eyes of the Church of Nature, the lives of some native demons are also lives and they should enjoy the right to move on the earth. For example, the little devil is a typical native demon and is the bloodline source of many modern demons.

Even if these guys didn't help, even if the gods were wise, how dare the two countries come to ask for help? It would be better to spend more money to find some powerful mercenaries to help on the flank battlefield.
