After a while, Sui Xiong was already sitting in the conference hall of the Kingdom of God, and told the gods and allies the general content of the secret meeting between himself and the God of Nobles.
"It seems that the God of Nobles is planning to go all the way to the dark side." Yorgardman, the God of Justice, sneered. "Actually, it's still too late to turn back now, but it's a pity that He doesn't want to."
"It would be difficult for him to turn back." Morani, the half-orc warrior and craftsman god, sighed, "His core believers are nobles, especially big nobles, and they cannot support the practice of 'killing a gentleman for the fifth time'. If He turns back, it’s unclear whether he will succeed or not, but the price will certainly not be small.”
"But if he doesn't look back, he will die sooner or later in the future! With the advancement of technology and culture, a new era will come sooner or later, and the traditional aristocratic system will inevitably collapse. The struggle is not fierce now, which is almost the best chance for him to turn back. In the future If you want to go back, the price will be much heavier than now - you may even never go back, you can only die with the old era and be buried as a sacrificial victim." The God of Knowledge, Wo'er, shook his head and sighed, "Mortals often hide their illnesses and avoid medical treatment. In the end, a minor illness will turn into a serious illness, and a serious illness will turn into death, and the gods are actually the same!"
"There is nothing we can do about it. The rise of the new era and the end of the old era will be accompanied by the birth and death of a large number of gods." Although powerful but old in appearance, the God of Law, Law Blanc, who looked like he was dying, sighed, Said, "This is like the rise and fall of a country in the world. A large number of new nobles will be born, and a large number of old nobles will be buried with them... These are all necessary prices."
"It's a pity after all, they are all talents..." Sui Xiong sighed, "If these people can spend their energy on governing the country, it will be better for others and themselves. In the end, they will shed their blood in vain to change the dynasty. In fact, it’s really not worth sacrificing your life and property to bury the old era.”
"Civilians will die, soldiers will die, and nobles will die as well. Everyone has one life, and no one is more valuable than anyone else." The God of Justice shook his head and sneered, "The same goes for gods."
"Speaking of which, I'm more concerned about another thing... What do you think the Lord of Glory is thinking about?" Mannes, the goddess of wealth, is not interested in this kind of fighting and killing, but she is very interested in the movements of the Lord of Glory. "He has obviously been suppressing the God of Knights and supporting the God of Nobles. The God of Nobles pushed Woods to usurp the throne and purged the followers of the God of Knights. He also held a tacit attitude, but why did He immediately order the God of Nobles to do so after the purge was completed? If the church withdraws, will it not benefit them at all?"
He paused for a moment and then said: "Even if the Church of the God of Nobles does not take advantage, He should at least let other churches take up space..."
All the gods shook their heads, everyone was puzzled.
After Woods purged the believers of the God of Knights and those ministers loyal to the late king, many positions were vacated in both the court and the army. Even if the Church of the God of Nobles does not allow these seats to be taken over, the Lord of Glory should at least arrange for other churches to accept them. After all, this is a benefit that the God of Nobles took from the God of Knights, and it can be regarded as something from the bowl of the human gods. How can you give meat to others for free
However, the Lord of Glory did not allow any church of human gods to enter the Eagle Kingdom, so that after the purge of Woods, it suddenly fell into the dilemma of no one available. The oldest country in mankind actually had to rely on promotions from adventurers and local nobles. talents to support the central government.
This kind of thing is simply unimaginable, just like a man who worked hard to hunt, caught the prey after being seriously injured, then killed it, cut the meat, and roasted it-and then just threw it there without eating it.
If this thing hadn't been done by the Lord of Glory, everyone would have thought that there was something wrong with this guy's mind, and that only an extremely chaotic evil god could do such a thing.
However, the Lord of Radiance is a god of lawful direction, and his nature determines that he will not do such a thing.
What's the secret in this
We discussed it for a while, but still couldn't get to the point, and in the end we couldn't come up with any results.
Of course, if "that guy has a problem with his brain" can be regarded as a conclusion, there is still a conclusion.
It's just... Joel Gardman was the one who made this conclusion. If he had to choose someone with a bad brain between him and the Lord of Glory, I'm afraid no one among the gods in the pantheon would not choose him, even if he was Good brother Sui Xiong is no exception.
He also felt that his eldest brother did have a slight problem with his brain...
While the gods were meeting, the Church of the God of Human Knowledge and the Church of the God of Nobility were already fighting.
The two sides did not play any tricks of "testing" or "low-intensity war". They went all out from the beginning. The Church of the God of Nobles mobilized all nine legendary powerhouses to the Mystic Tower Federation, while the Church of the God of Knowledge mobilized six saints and saints who had been painstakingly cultivated, led by Orian Gelten, the elect of the God of Knowledge. He personally led the team and put on a posture ready for a decisive battle.
Coincidentally, the confrontation between the two sides happened at the same place where Sui Xiong brought Leon and Steele into the Green Tree City of the Secret Tower Federation.
When they passed here, they had some conflicts with the Green family, the ruler of Green Tree City. In the end, Sui Xiong used his great magical power to turn into a five-fingered mountain and kill the founder of the Green family and the legendary mage who founded Green Tree City. Green was pressed down below, imprisoned in a secret room in the mountain. He had to wait until he purified the evil thoughts in his heart before he could escape from captivity and regain his freedom.
That was almost forty years ago. However, when the top leaders of the two churches faced off, Wuzhishan was still there, and Old Green was still imprisoned in the secret room in the mountain.
Of course, this has nothing to do with both sides. The reason why they chose to start the war here is because it is closest to the edge of the Secret Tower Federation. If they fight, it will cause the least damage to the surrounding areas and avoid negative impacts.
Believers of the God of Knowledge belong to the good camp and will avoid hurting innocent people; believers of the God of Nobles don't care about this, but they want to preach and maintain their positive image, so they have some scruples.
After consultation, they decided to fight the battle on the border of the Mystic Tower Federation.
The battlefield they chose was in a forest twenty miles outside Green Tree City.
This forest was once a large-scale logging camp, which provided a large amount of wood for the construction of Green Tree City. Around this logging camp, the old mage Green led his disciples and soldiers and fought several battles with the elves protecting the forest. Finally, with the help of other legendary mages, he drove away the nearby elves and occupied this place. .
But that was a long time ago, and the lumber camp has long been abandoned. Only the woods, which are obviously much shorter than the surrounding ones, can prove the "development" of this place.
If you search carefully, you may be able to find some broken weapons deep in the bushes, or a few bones that have not been completely weathered, which are traces of the great battle.
This was the battlefield of the past and it is also the battlefield of today.
The stage is still the same, it’s just a different group of actors and a different repertoire.
