Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 53: Five Thousand Years of Accumulated "War Wisdom"

Lisa's long legs were crossed and raised under her clerical robe, and her posture was much more relaxed.

"The most chaotic place in the Demon Wasteland right now is the Devouring Mouth. This force, which worships the wrathful evil god, has very few sober souls left.

And they are mainly active in the area north of the Demon Wasteland, which is where we are."

Gao Yang asked, "How many people are there in the Devouring Mouth? How strong is their leader?"

Lisa held her forehead with her hand and explained to Gao Yang:
"The Devouring Mouth has over 50,000 members, and their leader is an orc with terrifying brute strength. He also wields a greatsword, and his slashing power is terrifying. He has now gone completely mad, and his strength should be ranked among the top five in the entire Demon Wasteland.

Fortunately, the people in the Devouring Mouth are all lunatics who only know how to burn, kill, and plunder, and they don't have much execution power to completely occupy the Demon Wasteland."

After Lisa finished speaking, Gao Yang's eyes showed a thoughtful look. It seemed that the Devouring Mouth was less threatening.

"Further west is the sphere of influence of the Yellow Springs Dragon Society. This group is a group of pure lunatics, but unlike the Devouring Mouth, they have extremely firm beliefs and goals. They want to conquer the entire Demon Wasteland for the Lord of Terror they believe in.

As for the Fallen Cult, it has completely become a den of demons. They have no interest in occupying the so-called Demon Wasteland. All they want is to sign more contracts and plunder more souls.

Lisa paused for a moment, and seeing that Gao Yang was still listening carefully, she continued:
"As for the strongest and most populous city, it has to be Wasteland City. The mayor of Wasteland City is now a half-orc. Don't underestimate him because he is only a half-orc, but he became the mayor of Wasteland City seventy years ago and has experienced countless battles during that time.

In terms of strength, he is undoubtedly number one."

"Since the Lord of the Wasteland City is so powerful, why are you so eager to fight for the Demon Wasteland?" Gao Yang went straight to the essence of the incident.

Lisa let out a strange smile. "Because this old orc is nearing the end of his life and won't live much longer, and the gods they hope for still haven't cast their gaze upon this wasteland."

Gao Yang raised his eyebrows beneath his visor. "So, Wasteland City has lost its eligibility to compete now, right?"

"You could say that, but they're still incredibly powerful." Lisa crossed her arms. "You can imagine how frantic a counterattack a force that has occupied Wasteland City for nearly a hundred years will launch after losing hope."

"That is indeed a disaster." Gao Yang nodded in approval.

"Further eastward, you'll reach the sphere of influence of those stubborn holy warriors drenched in holy light. As holy warriors, their power is relatively restraining to most creatures in the Demon Wasteland.

Fortunately, there aren't many paladins."

"And what about the southern part of the wasteland?"

"Guess why this wasteland is called the Devil's Wasteland?" Lisa glanced at Gao Yang and asked.

"The southern part of the wasteland has been occupied by demons?" Gao Yang frowned. If that was the case, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.

"Technically, it's occupied by demons, evil goblins, and barbarians."

Lisa corrected him, "Most of the southern region is controlled by these three races. These idiots have no sense at all. Right now, the southern part of the wasteland is already in a state of chaos."

Gao Yang suddenly asked, "So, where are the people from our Immortal Church?"

Lisa seemed to have anticipated Gao Yang's question. She quickly replied, "Church members are scattered around the first town in the wasteland, numbering around 30,000."

"Then, Bishop, what do you need me to do?" Gao Yang asked. "Tell me what you think, Yu. You're an intelligent human, and most of the time, intelligent humans are always difficult to deal with." Lisa made no secret of her opinion of humans.

Gao Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the wooden chair. After a moment's thought, he chuckled softly and looked at the drow Lisa and asked, "Bishop Lisa, have you ever heard of the saying 'make friends with those far away and attack those near?'"

"Make friends with those far away and attack those nearby?" A look of doubt flashed in Lisa's eyes. She had never heard of these four words before, but she could vaguely sense the deep meaning behind them.

Gao Yang did not explain in detail, but analyzed: "The final enemy that our Immortal Church faces now will be the Wasteland City, the demons, and the barbarians, but it will definitely not be the Devouring Mouth.

As for the Devouring Mouth, what we need to do is to completely engulf and kill it."

Lisa subconsciously shook her head, her brows slightly furrowed. "Although I don't want to admit it, the power of the Devouring Mouth is greater than ours. We cannot completely devour it."

"So what if we add the Fallen God Cult?"

Lisa was shocked and understood Gao Yang's plan in an instant.

Gao Yang continued, "Since the Fallen Cult has become the devil's lair, these guys who only pursue contracts and souls, if we give them what they desire most, I think they will be willing to cooperate with us."

“We don’t have that many living souls.”

"We don't have it, but isn't the Devouring Mouth ready-made?" Gao Yang asked with a smile.

"Our goal is simply to destroy the Devouring Mouth. The method of destruction is unimportant. This is also the basis for the cooperation between the Immortal and the Fallen.

During this process, our Immortal Church can draw nourishment from it, strengthen itself, and prepare for the final decisive battle. What do you think, Bishop?"

Lisa's eyes lit up, she looked at Gao Yang and nodded seriously.

"But I have another request," Gao Yang crossed his arms in front of him, "I need to take over some of the Immortal Church's command authority."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Lisa's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She looked at Gao Yang and took out a fist-sized holy emblem.

There is no crescent moon on this holy emblem, only a blood-red spider web and a pair of scarlet eyes.

"There's a temporary gathering place southeast of the first town in the wasteland. That's where my companions are. With this badge, you'll gain their support."

Gao Yang took the badge, looked through it, and put it into his storage backpack.

The reason why he needs to control part of the power of the Immortal Church is naturally because he needs to gain enough benefits in this game to improve his own strength.

Being in a high position and being at the bottom of the hierarchy can expose you to completely different levels, just like his first experience in the abyss. If he had not participated in the final battle, he would not have been able to obtain the unique specialty, nor would he have been able to get the full rating and obtain free attribute points.

The same is true now. If he joins the Immortal Church and just goes with the flow, even if the Immortal Church really occupies the Demon Wasteland in the end, can he really get the "power" in the Wasteland Coin that Lisa promised?

In other words, would the Immortal Church controlled by the drow Elisa really willingly hand over that power to an outsider who played no role?
