Riding and Slashing

Amy's large-scale recruitment this time actually seems irrational-but Li Ang is missing and his father is trapped. In this case, no one can keep Amy sane.

The conscription to prepare for the war itself should be done, but the problem is that the large-scale conscription of civilian husbands caused the news of Li Ang's disappearance to spread quickly.

Of course, this news was not easy to block—the City Defense Army fought a battle with the Dawn Knights for Li Ang’s reputation, and the people of Fieldsville knew about it, so even if they issued a password order, they would hide it for a few days at most. It can't be sealed.

But this kind of news, even if it is only concealed for a few days, can play a big role.

Now there is no cover up for a day, and there is still a lot of noise, which makes the Ravencrow Kingdom, which was originally fulfilling the cooperation agreement, withdraw its troops directly-the Ravencrow Kingdom soon knew that Li Ang was missing, and the previous agreement was naturally useless , Ravencrow Kingdom will naturally no longer lose its troops in vain.

Although tearing up the agreement was tantamount to declaring war, Gregory IV had to rush back to deal with Ursula, and there was no other way.

Then things got really tough for Sarleon Kingdom.

The departure of the Ravencrow made the battle situation in Xiaoyan Bay take a turn for the worse. Brennus got a chance to breathe and quickly launched a counterattack while Godric and Leofric were trapped in Fort Mismarsh.

At the same time, the Bacchus Empire also reacted quickly. Karen Deer Castle, where Anson was located, faced his old friend Governor Justus; Sava River Fort was also quickly captured by General Agathon.

——If Li Ang was still there, Emperor Marius would definitely give Li Ang some face.But Li Ang is missing, so Emperor Marius will definitely not give face to the Lion Kingdom...

On the contrary, Anson was more face-saving. Justus politely asked Anson to take everyone who was willing to go back to Changhe Town, and did not directly attack Karen Lulu Castle.

Of course, this is also for Alina's sake - Alina is now in Sarleon City, so Naturally Justus won't be too tough.

After hesitating for a while, Ansen remembered a letter that Li Ang had written to Emperor Marius—if land is lost, people will survive, and if people lose land, everyone will lose land.

So he wrote these few words into a military report and passed them on to Amy. At the same time, he brought everyone in Karen Luburg and Salem Village back to Changhe Town without blindly losing their strength.

In this way, the entire county of Cullenlukburg was reintroduced to the Bacchus Empire.

At the same time, there was also a problem with the D'Shar side - Khalifa Tahir, the lord of Singal, led troops into the Kel-Leidan Fort on the southwestern border of the Sarleon Kingdom, but Ramon did not respond to this.

If nothing happened to Li Ang, Ramon would definitely warn in advance, and might even block Tahir directly, but Li Ang is gone...

In just over 20 days, the Lion Kingdom suddenly became enemies on all sides.

Amir and Far Country were recaptured by Brennus' counterattack, and Leofric defended the Fort of Misty Marsh with difficulty.

The area around the Sava River Fort was captured by Agathon, and the Qicha Fortress has not yet been rebuilt. The newly formed cavalry of the Empire has appeared near Yaragal.

Both Howling Castle and Howling Village are occupied by Fieldsway, and Earl 'Fork' Airy's team has appeared in Azgold.

Kelledan Castle and Belmont Farley fell into the hands of the D'Shar, and Baranley, the burial place of the Sarleon kings, was also in danger-the burial objects in the king's tomb were enough to make the D'Shar give it a go.

The capital, Lion City, is about to directly face the attacks of various countries!
Fortunately, Amy ordered some new troops to be recruited. Otherwise, the empty Sarleon City might face a hard battle now...

There is only one reason for all of this - Li Ang is missing.

Until now, the people of the Lion Kingdom have fully realized that Li Ang, the young Grand Duke of Changhe Town, did not rely on nepotism to get to the top, he is the one who makes the countries dare not act rashly.

Without Li Ang, the Lion Kingdom has become an attractive cake.

The only good news is that after reclaiming the lost territory of the Bacchus Empire, Emperor Marius gave Amy a chance to breathe-Emperor Marius said that because of the sisterhood between Alina and Amy, as long as the Sarleon Kingdom is willing To supply money, food and military supplies, the Bacchus Empire is willing to help the Sarleon Kingdom deal with several other countries...

This is a conspiracy, a method that both Mario and Li Ang are good at-they are indeed like-minded.

Amy knew very well that if she didn't join forces with Bacchus, then the Sarleon Kingdom would probably end.

But if Emperor Marius is asked to 'help' the Sarleon Kingdom, it is drinking poison to quench thirst. The towns around Sarleon City may soon become the bases of various legions of the Bacchus Empire—on the territory of the Sarleon Kingdom, use Sarleon The money and food of the Lion Kingdom hit other countries, no matter how they fight, it will be of great benefit to Bacchus, and of course Mario will do this kind of business.

Emperor Mario's intention was actually to use the Sarleon Kingdom as a battlefield, use the Sarleon Kingdom's national power to speed up the recovery of the Bacchus Empire's national power, and drag other countries into the quagmire of the Sarleon Kingdom's war.

Even if the Lion Kingdom and other countries don't want to fight anymore, with the Bacchus Empire's "assistance" and provocations on both sides, this battle will never be over.

When the Bacchus Empire has sucked enough blood and is strong enough to conquer the mainland, the day will come to an end for the Sarleon Kingdom.

Before that, the Lion Realm will always be caught in the flames of war, and it won't stop for a moment.

This kind of deadlock must be broken by force, and all countries must be conquered—but without the Noldor elves, it will definitely not be broken.

Or, give up the entire western part of the Sarleon Kingdom... retreat to the most stable area in the eastern part of the kingdom, stay away from the quagmire of war, and then sit back and watch the tigers fight, and quietly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.

However, Godric was still besieged in Mimbol Castle, and the main army of the kingdom was either in Mimbol Castle or Sarleon City.

Amy can't give up the western part of the kingdom, and she doesn't dare to give up—if she dares to abandon Sarleon City, all the nobles and city defense forces will definitely join the enemy!These are the sons of the nobles in Sarleon City and the surrounding area. It is impossible for them to abandon their territory and leave their hometown.

Therefore, although Amy was not happy, she had to accept this 'covenant', and all the nobles in Sarleon City hoped that Queen Amy would accept it...

Alina did not leave Sarleon City, she stayed with Amy all the time, and gave Amy a lot of pertinent advice sincerely.

But the decline of the Lion Kingdom is already doomed.

"Boy, your own safety is directly related to the survival of a kingdom and the war situation of the entire continent... You have the demeanor of me back then, and you are worthy of my blood..."

After talking about the current situation of the Sarleon Kingdom, Kavala gave his summary.

Li Ang frowned. Judging from the current situation, the worsening situation may be more than that.

There are still many things that Kavala does not know.

I disappeared, and the newly issued large-denomination magic coins are likely to lose credit, and the bank will definitely face a run on the bank...

This is bound to trigger an economic crisis throughout the East.

His subordinates may also fall apart. In his absence, lords such as Fawcett and Inner will not obey Amy's command, and Sigismund and others may also find another place to live.

And Wendy will definitely not return to the Noldor Forest honestly, she will definitely try her best to find herself - if she is not in the Noldor Forest, without the suppression of her 'Sindarui' identity, what will the Noldor do?
What will Ardalian do?
The trust established between the Noldor and the humans is likely to be broken again.

If he wasn't there and Wendy wasn't there, then the area around White Hart Castle would definitely be captured by Aldalian in one fell swoop—Aldalian had always wanted to let humans kill each other and took the Noldor to take the opportunity to control the mainland.

At that time, there will be no peace in the entire continent, and it will be really difficult to restore it.

"It seems that I must go back quickly, or the Sarleon Kingdom may be gone... Even the Noldor may cause great trouble... But how do I go back?"

Li Ang looked at the brazier.

Althea also became worried. She could think of what would happen if Leon, the bridge connecting humans and Noldor, was gone.

"If the code is on you, it's actually very easy to go back. But since the code is gone, there is only one last way... You can go back as you came here."

There was also a hint of helplessness in Kavala's voice.

"But... I made that code through lightning..."

Li Ang frowned, looked back at the gate of the Eye Palace, and stopped talking abruptly.

He realized what Kavala wanted him to do...

The gate of the temple is exactly the same as the page in the code, which is the large 'gate of the abyss', or 'gate of the kingdom of heaven'.

"It seems that you have understood... child, what can be done in the code, can also be done here."

Kavala said softly.

"What is the code? The three prophets said it was the gate of the abyss, and Egrem said it was the gate of the kingdom of heaven... What exactly is it?"

Li Ang looked at the gate of the temple and asked with a frown.

"Ha, the abyss is actually the kingdom of heaven... The kingdom of heaven that Egrem is looking for is actually the place where he originally lived—in fact, this is here. You can see it by shining a real torch on the dome of the temple."

Kavala seemed to smile.

Li Ang raised his head, and there seemed to be nothing on the top of the temple.

He went outside to relight a torch among the embers of the fire, and looked up.

You still can't see anything if you look directly at it, but the firelight casts a shadow on the dome.

There was something invisible to the naked eye floating there, but it could reflect a shadow under the firelight. It looked like an oval cantilever structure—probably consistent with the galaxy pattern on the door.

Li Ang turned his head to look at the fire of the soul on the wall, and then he realized that although the fire of the soul can illuminate the temple, it can't leave a shadow on any object-this is completely inconsistent with optical logic, no wonder I always feel that the temple Somewhat unnatural.

"Is that the abyss?"

Li Ang seemed to understand a little bit.

"That is not only the abyss, but also a door leading to the void. I don't know what it was originally called. But I know that every god leaves through this door, and must return to the earth through this door." ..."

There was something else in Kavala's words: "But... the gods who have left should not come back."

"So, who built this temple? And who brought you here?"

Li Ang asked.

"I don't know who built this, I just know that it was Eunomia who brought me here, but she left 300 years ago - she made me the gatekeeper... because only I can Prevent the return of all gods, including Eunomia herself!"

Kavala has a very good attitude towards Li Ang, almost answering every question.

"Prevent the return of the gods? Why?"

Li Ang was a little surprised: "Why did Eunomia prevent her from returning to the earth?"

"Because the order that Eunomia wants is an order without gods...an order that belongs to ordinary people. Only in this way will the earth not be destroyed—you should know what the Sindarin elves have done, right? When the sindarius and the dragons and the titans were the gods of the land..."

Kavala told Leon a secret that no one has ever mentioned before: "Actually, gods are people..."

In the days of the Sindarí and the dragons and titans, there were no gods on the land—these extraordinary beings were like gods in their own right.

But after the Battle of the Titans, the magical weapons made by the Sindari elves destroyed the Gwendarian continent, and the surging magic storm caused the extinction of most magical creatures.

Without the suppression of various magical races, human beings rose rapidly with extremely strong adaptability and reproduction speed, and gradually produced some characters with special talents.

These people are basically the leaders of various continents.

After gaining power, they naturally began to pursue longevity—this is an inevitable way of thinking for creatures like humans.

Some people are indeed outstanding talents. I don’t know who was the first to discover that people’s devout beliefs can bring some special soul power, so these people began to try to define themselves as gods.

They made up all kinds of myths and legends, and after some discussions, they allocated various fields.

When the leader intends to create a god, the civilians are usually very foolish.

Thus, a group of "gods" deliberately made people realize were born.

In fact, that time was less than 2000 years ago—that was actually when Avadine took the Noldor elves to keep migrating and trying to find a place to stay in various places. Have met a real god on this island.

Of course, in the classics of various gods, they boasted that they were ancient and natural. After all, in order to gain faith, they had to beautify their image a little.

In fact, the real god will never show himself in front of people, and will deliberately hide his mark, and even erase all people's memories related to him.When it can't be erased, some exchanges will be used to restrict the freedom of those who know - just like the real owner of this island.

But man-made 'gods' are different - what they need is faith, they will preach it, they need everyone in the world to know their name.

They also did get devout believers and became superhumans.

But the human body will always age. This is the law of the world and cannot be reversed.

In order to live forever, these "artificial gods" who had gained the power of faith threw away their bodies one after another after the life of their bodies came to an end, and became complete spirit bodies.

The power of faith can keep their souls alive for a long time and will not dissipate.

But there are gains and losses, and the spirit body may indeed be immortal, but it cannot touch the entity.

Therefore, these gods cannot directly intervene in human beings, they can only engage in some seemingly mysterious events to show miracles.

For example, the goddess of justice likes to send oracles in dreams; the goddess of darkness will stimulate people's souls to stimulate the potential of believers.

The Goddess of Darkness can't actually give people power, but she can make people's subconscious no longer restrain the body, which can make people's potential fully realized, and will have huge power—but the price is relatively heavy.

People can only use the strength that the body is willing to let you use, which is a kind of self-protection.

Human bones and muscles are theoretically capable of transmitting thousands of pounds of force.But using this kind of power requires paying a heavy price, ranging from irreversible damage to bones, muscle groups, and internal organs, to immediate sudden death.

This is actually the reason why heretical summons such as the Three Prophets or the Fallen have strange powers. They either lose their minds or use other people's bodies, so they naturally don't have a sense of self-protection.

Originally, these man-made gods were quite harmonious. After all, they all just wanted to gain faith and thus gain longevity. The starting point was just not wanting to die.

In the beginning, they were all just looking for ways to increase believers.

But later, they discovered more mysteries about the soul, and also discovered that the stronger the belief, the more things they can do-they can occupy the body of others, they can perform spells like the Sindarin elves, and they can even move mountains and seas, become omnipotent.

Thus, the 'gods' began to compete for population and faith.
