The dead are dead, but the war must continue.
The former deputy leader of the Silver Knights, Goodwill, who is also a chosen knight, took over Lauren's position. He had been following Lauren before, from guard to knight, and his faith was extremely firm, enough to take over as the leader. Location, no one else has any problem with it.
After this battle, the demons were completely defeated by them, especially the upper-level demons were slaughtered. The other demons naturally had no ability to resist and could only continue to abandon the city and retreat.
Su Changxing extracted divine power from the corpses of one Chaos Marauder after another, which allowed his own power to gain a certain sublimation. More divinely chosen knights also emerged from the Sect of All Living Beings, further accelerating the progress of the war.
The gods behind the demons seemed to have simply given up on the world, and the Chaos Reavers did not come to the world again.
It is only a matter of time before the demons are driven out of this world.
After the group army in the south defeated the demons, they met the barbarians. The combat effectiveness of the two sides was naturally not on the same level. Even before, the Shengye Empire completely suppressed the barbarians.
Those barbarians do not have as high a level of magic resistance as the demons. Although they are strong, they cannot compete with the Holy Leaf Empire on the frontal battlefield. They only need a few legions of magic to defeat them.
These barbarians are not human beings, at most they are humanoids. Their minds are relatively simple and their temperament is bold. Many matters in the country are decided by duels.
The barbarians are composed of thousands of tribes. In the process of fighting against the demons, they also suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of the tribes perished.
Even so, no tribe has surrendered to the demons. In history, no tribe has surrendered to the Shengye Empire. There is indeed no oil and water in the place where these barbarians live. The weather is bad, and there will be snowstorms from time to time. , so the human empire has always been too lazy to go to war, and there is no need to do anything without any benefit.
The two sides did not fight. They were in a state of harmony. After such a painful war, they had no intention of fighting. After a series of negotiations, the Barbarian King also agreed to send a group of troops to fight against the Shengye Empire. The remaining demons.
In fact, after the Holy Leaf Empire completely occupied the southern part of the Golden Empire, the barbarians had no direct contact with the demons. In theory, there was no need to send troops.
It's just that the fist is not as big as the Shengye Empire. It was no match for the Shengye Empire before, and now with the blessing of the All Living Beings Sect, it is no longer a match.
Especially those divinely chosen knights who are like monsters. They can travel back and forth in the war alone and defeat an army without any problem.
The war lasted for a month, and the Shengye Empire bulldozed the entire Golden Empire's demons at an extremely fast speed.
The other demons had to retreat to the plateau to the north, but the Shengye Empire still did not give up. Six armies drove the demons from different directions, leaving corpses on the plateau.
The remaining nearly one million demons have no choice but to retreat. The next step is to the mouth of the forbidden gorge. The low-level demons have no way to pass through that place and can only fight to the death with the Shengye Empire.
The remaining demons were all cannon fodder. Almost all the high-level demons died in the previous war. They seemed to be numerous, but in fact they were vulnerable. They were easily defeated by the Shengye Empire's army of less than 100,000 people.
"It is said that the mouth of the Forbidden Gorge is the end of the world. I don't know whether it is true or not." The divinely chosen knight named Ulton said in a low voice.
Others were also discussing in whispers. Everyone was curious about this issue. There were three forbidden areas in this world that humans could not enter, the dark forest, the desert of death, and the forbidden area in front of them.
They could only watch from a distance and could not get closer. If they took another step forward, they would be threatened with death.
Goodwill smiled: "It seems so. These demons may have escaped from the mouth of the forbidden land and came from other worlds."
"In history, some people saw stars from the darkness at the mouth of the Forbidden Gorge, so this is the edge of the world."
Su Changxing knew that this was correct. The mouth of the forbidden gorge was the edge of the world, and there was a thick and rolling demon outside.
Qi seems to lead to another world, and it is through this gap that the demons come.
The world in the Pocket Galaxy itself is not a complete world. It is split from another world. The space at the edge of the world shows irregular jagged shapes, and there are dense space cracks that can easily swallow and cut any object.
The Forbidden Gorge was also formed when the world was forcibly divided, something similar to a scar.
The six canyons leading to the outside of the world need to be sealed with a large array of magic patterns, and then troops can be sent to guard them.
In this way, the world in the Pocket Galaxy can be regarded as a truly closed world. If the faith is completely spread, it can be gradually transformed into the Kingdom of God.
As early as a month ago, the Sect of All Living Beings went to the barbarian land to preach. The process was smoother than expected. The barbarian land itself had various beliefs, but before that, the world was a place without In the world of gods, many of the various beliefs remain from ancient times and have no actual meaning.
The emergence of the All-Sentient Cult is undoubtedly a dimension-reducing blow. In this already feudal and superstitious place, it focuses on growth. Many barbarians learned about the All-Sentient Cult and knelt at the door of the church, crying and shouting to join.
The belief in the All-Sentient Religion spread faster than Su Changxing expected, spreading like locusts. Many tribes directly changed their original flags and hung up the flags belonging to the All-Sentient Religion. An entire tribe became a loyal believer in the All-Sentient Religion.
Although the All-Sentient Religion quickly gained a large number of believers among the barbarians, and even the king of the barbarians looked eager to give it a try and respected the pastors of the All-Sentient Religion, these barbarians formed very few beliefs. Unfortunately, an entire large tribe does not have as many beliefs as a single human town.
This is probably why the gods doted on humans so much in ancient times, as if humans were born to be believers and servants of the gods.
Su Changxing thought that this might have something to do with the Titans. Humans and the Titans have a huge connection. Many ancient scientists in higher dimensions believe that humans are the descendants of the Titans. The blood of the Titans remains in the body, but it is hidden.
In that era, Titan humans almost defeated the gods, or they could be considered an alternative race of gods themselves, and the Titan King was the number one player in the doomsday game!
Su Changxing was originally thinking about how to deal with the barbarians. Later, when he saw that the barbarians became believers so smoothly, he gave up the idea of exterminating them from this world.
By the third month, churches of the All Living Beings were spread throughout the barbarian land. Their style was very different from that of the Shengye Empire, and they were even more barbaric and bloody.
The All-Sentient Religion affects the barbarians, and the barbarians will in turn influence the All-Sentient Religion.
This is also the process of localization of the All Living Beings Religion, which will look different under different ethnic cultures.
The king of the barbarians, Reg, became the high priest of the barbarian land, responsible for coordinating the management of churches and believers in the entire barbarian land.
In this case, there would be no need to go to war.
The process of religiousization of the barbarians was faster than that of the Shengye Empire. It took only one month to catch up. Churches were built in every city and every town. Believers were everywhere. The churches were overcrowded every day, noisy, and even... Like a vegetable market.
The cities of the barbarians are really dilapidated and dirty. Feces and urine can be seen everywhere on the streets, and they are filled with stench. It is difficult for the priests who came from the Holy Leaf Empire to adapt to this situation and work hard to change this situation.
Roughness and barbarism are engraved in the bones of the barbarians, and it is extremely difficult to change them. The pastor of the church often can only keep the area near the church clean, but the smell can still be smelled coming with the wind.
Later, Su Changxing also noticed this situation, and issued a special oracle to let various barbarian tribes renovate the city, and wrote keeping clean and tidy into the teachings of the All Living Beings Cult.
Through this method, the situation of the barbarians has gradually improved. At least on the surface, it looks a lot tidier, adding a bit of civilized flavor, quite like a monkey wearing a Taoist robe.
The easiest way to spread faith throughout the world is to build a unified empire.
this
It is also the fastest way.
There are a large number of small countries around and behind the Holy Leaf Empire, which are separated from the mountains behind them. Previously, there was no intention to touch these small countries due to the confrontation between the Holy Leaf Empire and the Golden Empire.
Before the Holy Leaf Empire could completely pull back the Golden Empire's army, it declared war on these small countries and decided to achieve unification by force. Relying on the teachings of sentient beings was too troublesome, and there were many uncertain factors and it would take a long time. time. There are many of these small countries. Although their territories are large, their military strength is not weak. Because they fight against each other every year, many things must be resolved through war, ranging from mountainous areas to inconspicuous magic materials.
And these small countries all have their own mage legions and corresponding magic unions, but they can't compare with behemoths like the Holy Leaf Empire.
In particular, several neighboring countries, which themselves were tributaries, chose to surrender almost immediately and sent troops to help the Shengye Empire attack other small countries. They worked very hard, with a sense that if I can't do it, you can't do it either. , we must surrender and surrender together, so that our psychology will be balanced.
It is of course easy to deal with these small countries. The God-Chosen Knight can lead an army of tens of thousands of people and push them all away. The problem is that there is a dark forest further ahead.
The dark forest has always been a restricted area for humans, and it is also the scope of gray fog.
Fortunately, Su Chang has complete control over this world, so naturally he cannot have blind spots, so he must open up the dark forest.
The environment in the dark forest is too harsh and filled with all kinds of mixed magic powers. Even the chosen knight cannot stay in it for a long time.
When the army of the Holy Leaf Empire pushed all the way to this position, our High Priest Mel was helpless when faced with such a problem:
"We have to build the Holy Fire Tower bit by bit. This time I'm afraid it will consume a lot of magic materials. The dark forest is so big, I'm afraid it will consume the entire Shengye Empire's reserves, and it won't be enough to cover the dark forest."
Setting foot in the dark forest is of course an instruction from the gods. If it were just them, they would certainly not choose to set foot here.
The Lord's thoughts are not something mortals like them can speculate on, they can only execute them.
Linda stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the dark forest in the distance. There were ripples and channels in the space, as if the two sides were not in the same world. "This is the only way to do it first. At least let us see what is inside."
They finally decided that she, Mel, and more than a dozen divinely chosen knights, as well as a group of priests and knights with the strongest faith, would go together.
Guwell is responsible for watching the outside and receiving messages from the Lord.
They all firmly believe that this will definitely be a great journey, and venturing into the unknown has always been a great thing for mankind, and it is a valuable courage.
A small sacred fire tower was built every 100 meters to form a shelter with faith, allowing them to move in the dark forest. It also allowed Su Changxing's faith to spread into the dark forest, straight to the depths of the dark forest, like a monk. Insert the white dagger.
The trees in the dark forest look no different from ordinary trees and can be cut down easily. However, both the bark and the tree plugs are pitch black and very light. An ordinary soldier can weave the entire tree with one hand. The tree was lifted.
They were originally a little afraid of the dark forest, but after long-term contact, they found that this place was extremely desolate, and they didn't even see any living creatures, so they gradually calmed down and adapted.
After going more than ten kilometers deep into the dark forest, they could notice the changes in the surrounding environment. The range that the Holy Fire Tower could illuminate gradually became smaller, as if it was being compressed bit by bit by something in the darkness. Later, they had to The construction of more flame towers has opened up enough space for activities.
The darkness was so dense that nothing could be seen within the light source range, not the sky, not the trees, only pitch black, as if they were in a closed box.
"There is something there." A young female priest next to him whispered, staring directly into the dark light, but others could not see anything.
Linda patted her shoulder and cast a magic spell to soothe her soul.
: "Beretta, calm down, relax, and don't think about other things."
But this seemed to be of no use. Beretta froze on the spot, staring straight into the darkness. Her originally golden hair began to fade and became silvery white, her eyes became dark, and various parts of her body changed, including her ears. It also became spiky... It looked like a legendary elf!
The race of elves only exists in legends in this world. It can be read in some ancient books. It is a race that is good at singing and dancing. It can change the surrounding environment with poetry, achieving an effect similar to what it says.
"Beretta?"
Linda frowned, wondering why the priest in front of her had such a change. He must have been affected by the dark forest, but why was she the only one who had such a change.
It was only then that the priest named Beretta gradually came back to his senses. There was a strange fragrance in his breath, and his voice became more pleasant: "What's wrong with the Holy Lady?"
She hadn't noticed the change in herself yet, maybe it was just a blink of an eye for him, but she saw other people staring at her with surprised expressions.
Linda noticed that Beretta's spirit was still normal, so she asked: "Have you felt anything abnormal? For example, if there is any discomfort in your body."
Beretta shook her head, but she felt refreshed and her body felt indescribably light. She said, "Holy Lady, there is nothing wrong with me, I guess there is nothing wrong with me."
She added uncertainly, mainly because the eyes of the people around her were a little strange.
Linda unleashed a trick with one hand, a low-level magic belonging to the elemental school, Water Mirror. A mirror appeared in front of Beretta, reflecting her appearance.
Beretta looked at her unfamiliar self in the mirror. She was stunned for a moment, then showed panic. She looked at Linda and asked, "Holy Lady, why am I like this?"
Of course Linda didn't know, but she couldn't contact Su Changxing at this place. She was silent for a moment and said: "I'm not sure, but it seems that your appearance has only changed, and your mind has not been affected. I will use magic to Protect your soul at all times."
Then, she looked at Mel next to her and said, "How about I take Beretta out first and ask the Lord why such a change has occurred."
Mel glanced at Beretta and said, "How about I take him out? I have already set up a teleportation point before, so there is no problem in taking one person there. This way it won't waste too much time."
Linda nodded: "Thank you."
After saying that, Mel walked up, grabbed Beretta's hand, snapped his fingers, "Let's go." A square magic circle appeared under his feet, and with a flash of white light, the two disappeared. In place.
Less than half a day later, Mel teleported back again, and he was alone when he came back.
Linda raised her eyebrows, suddenly had a bad feeling, and asked, "Where's Beretta?"
Mel's face was ugly, and he shook his head and said: "She died. The moment she and I went out, she died suddenly, and her body turned into a puddle of mud. However, I still took her body to the church. The Lord accepted it. took her body."
Linda was silent for a moment and said, "Does the Lord have any instructions?"
Mel said: "He didn't raise his head, but just told me that believers who have experienced similar changes should not leave the dark forest for the time being, otherwise they will end up with the same fate."
This seemed to be just a small episode, and the rest of the time was about constant repetition, building the Holy Fire Tower, and opening up a bright path.
The Shengye Empire's magic material reserves have been depleted for a long time. The remaining materials all come from Su Changxing, who made them in the upper realm of the Pocket Galaxy and then sent them to the lower realm.
Although Su Changxing was unable to directly contact the believers in the dark forest, he could still observe their situation.
The fog dispersed bit by bit, and he could vaguely observe the entire dark forest.
It made his scalp tingle!
A piece of chaos, not referring to space, but
Refers to time. The chaotic time is mixed together, causing the dark forest to completely seal itself. Various energy elements collide with each other to form the current situation.
Why does time become like this!
He felt horrified, seeing that these days seemed to have been crushed into a ball by force and thrown here.
