Chapter 517
The Holy Empire, the headquarters of the Holy See of Light.

The Pope and the four major cardinals gathered for urgent consultations to deal with the increasingly severe situation.

"The news about the hell of the abyss has been confirmed. It is indeed as the great demon king said. The army of the abyss poured out from all over the mainland, without any offense to the national forces along the way, and the goal was directed at the Holy Empire. In other words, it is my Holy See .”

One of the cardinals in charge of intelligence and news was holding a thick file in his hand and was explaining the situation to everyone present.

Another cardinal also stood up and gave a slight salute, and said to the Pope: "Your Majesty, the emperor of the Holy Empire has sent us urgent calls for help many times, and hopes that we can send troops directly under the Holy See to help the Holy Empire. Otherwise, their army defense line may not be able to support it, and there is a danger of being completely breached."

The Holy Empire is powerful, and it is recognized as the most powerful country in the world.

Although considering the image and reputation of the country, there is no unscrupulous expansion.But the surrounding countries were annexed by them one by one.

It can be said that under the gentle cloak of the Holy Empire is an aggressive beast.

It is also because of this that most of the imperial military's thoughts are on external attack, and they rarely consider their own defense.

Because it is not necessary.

And the most direct consequence of this strategic thinking is that except for the borders of the empire, which are not considered deep and solid lines of defense, the large area inside the Forte is almost undefended.

In other words, if the defense line on the border of the Holy Empire is breached, the enemy's army will drive straight in and attack any target at will.

It is extremely difficult for the imperial army to effectively intercept.

The Pope who sat at the top pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is our army ready now?"

The cardinal in charge of the military bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the Holy See's regular armed forces have all assembled and are ready to go to the battlefield at any time. But..."

"But what?" asked the Pope.

The cardinal in charge of the military said: "My subordinates do not recommend sending the Holy See's forces to support the Holy Empire!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little stunned.

The relationship between the Holy Empire and the Holy See is well known to everyone in the world.It is not too much to say that this country is a vassal of the Holy See of Light.

The Holy See of Light is developing rapidly, with its tentacles all over the continent of Ossia, and its reputation is flourishing, which is also inseparable from the powerful national power of the Holy Empire.

Now that the Holy Empire is deeply mired in war, the cardinal in charge of the military suggests to sit idly by and let it fend for itself?

The pope on the throne couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why?"

When the cardinal gave the answer, he had already expected this question.

"Because it can't be saved."

The faces of the high-ranking members of the Holy See present were in a trance, but there was a glimmer of understanding in their hearts.

"Under the siege of the four major forces, including the God of Magic, the Holy Empire was already at a loss. It was struggling to support, and it was completely at a disadvantage. Now that the enemy has come to the extreme new blood of the abyss and hell, the defeat of the Holy Empire is almost complete. It is an inevitable situation. Even if I, the Holy See of Guangming, send full support, I am afraid it will not help the matter, and there is a danger of putting myself in it."

The Pope nodded imperceptibly. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the conclusion of his subordinates clearly has a high chance of becoming a reality.

"But the Holy Empire is of great significance to our Holy See of Light. It is really hard to let go of it. Moreover, the goal of the four major forces to which the heretics belong, such as the God of Magic, is probably not the Holy Empire, but our Holy See of Light. Sit back and watch the Holy Empire." Destruction, the final result may not be what we want."

The cardinal in charge of information and intelligence rolled his eyes and thought of something: "Could it be that we want to shrink all the power of my bright Holy See back to the Holy See Hill and defend it from danger?"

The cardinal in charge of the military nodded and said with certainty, "Exactly!"

Another cardinal was puzzled and asked: "The sacred mountain of the Holy See is rich in defense methods, and the defense line is very strong. It is indeed difficult to break through. However, it is inevitable that it will be kept secret after being besieged by the enemy for a long time. Besides, if the Holy See of the Holy See gives up all the strategic buffers The region is shrunk to one place, and the biggest goal is to remain undefeated, how can we still win?"

In the end, it was really not easy for the members of the Guangming Holy See, who were used to being the bosses, to accept being pushed to the ground and beaten by the enemy all at once, only being beaten and not fighting back.

The pope smiled slightly, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

"You are wrong. We defended with all our strength, but we did not lose hope of turning defeat into victory."

"My lord, do you mean to say..."

Seeing the pope's expression, the cardinal also reacted a bit.

The situation of the Holy See of Light is very similar to that of the Holy Empire. Today of the Holy Empire is likely to be the future of the Holy See of Light.

However, the biggest difference between the Holy See and the Holy Empire is that there are people behind them.

Oh no, there is a God behind it!

The strongest and most powerful god in the God Realm, the God of Light!

As long as the great supreme god can always stand still, no matter how far the battle situation in the human world develops, it can be turned upside down and completely reversed.

This is the biggest hole card that the Holy See can rely on.

And all they have to do is not hang up first before then, and that's enough.

The cardinal who suggested to shrink the defense in an all-round way can be described as scheming and thoughtful.

Of course, these words can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, but they must never be proclaimed.Otherwise, being caught by people with ulterior motives is a great disrespect to the great and supreme God, and the consequences will be disastrous.

The other high-ranking members of the Holy See present here are all human beings. When they were raised a little bit, they all reacted at once, with knowing smiles on their faces.

The tension and anxiety in my heart for the past few days has been relieved to the greatest extent.

With a solution to the most urgent matter, His Excellency the Pope also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and has spare energy to care about other lesser matters.

It's just that the degree of urgency is slightly "second-class".

"Anthony the Blasphemer, is there any latest news?"

The cardinal in charge of intelligence replied: "Your Majesty, according to reports from informants and spies, the place where Anthony last appeared was the Hengling Great Forest of the Glorious Empire. And not long after, Qingtian in the center of the Hengling Great Forest The Pillar came crashing down, and Antony the Blasphemer was never seen again."

Hearing this situation, the hearts of the senior officials of the Holy See tightened again.

Just now, the back road or hole card of the Guangming Holy See was vaguely discussed, which is the supreme god they believe in.But Anthony, the blasphemer, is destroying the space anchors that connect the divine world to communicate with the human world one by one, hindering the plan of the fusion of the two worlds of the God of Light.

To put it in a big way, Anthony is a serious problem for the Holy See and the Supreme God; to say it in a small way, Anthony is blocking the retreat of all the high-level members of the Holy See, and he is the enemy of life and death.

"That is to say, of the five anchor points in the human world, only this one that I guard on the holy mountain of the Holy See remains?"

The Pope used interrogative sentences, but judging from the tone, no one would have any doubts.
