Maybe in their opinion.

The news that the 'spirit' who is the 'king of magic' also 'benefits' from the Covenant of Abraham and can stand forever at the top of the world and has nothing to do with those who have nothing came so suddenly that most people would not be willing to believe it.

however.

The moment the news reached the Central Kingdom from the North.

The stubborn resistance finally raised their spears and knives.

That was the second holy war launched at the end of the old millennium.

Nearly ten thousand knights of the Kingdom Church.

Across the northern border.

——《End of War》

...

The thirty-sixth day since the "No Ones" captured the capital of Atlantis.

It's the third day since 'Princess of the Kingdom' Arisa Einbeth returned home.

In the northern Principality of Atlan—a country that perhaps can no longer be called a "Principality"—most of the area in the far north of the Ariel Continent is still covered by snow and wind. The world is still pale, and the sky and the earth seem to be tightly bitten together, with a gray and endless space.

But between this snowy sky and earth, there were bright lights and shadows lighting up in order, like lamps hanging high in the sky, blocking the cold wind and bringing instant warmth.

Those are high walls that have been erected.

There are also high walls with "Rune" engraved on them.

These high walls are like the high wall on the far northern border. Standing here, they can block out the surrounding wind and snow, allowing people to rest and live for a short time, and also guiding them on the way forward.

At the end of countless high walls is the plank road leading to the high city of Atlantis capital.

It is the only area leading to the north that is illuminated by the warm setting sun.

But at this moment.

At the southern border of Atlantis - an area that is slightly warmer than the deeper parts of the country.

In front of a newly erected high wall.

Someone looked up at the newly engraved "Fire" Rune on the wall, with a very relieved smile on his pale and thin face.

"Finally, Rune's high wall has completely covered the entire Atlantis!"

He spoke.

The voice was low and hoarse, narrating like this.

Someone beside him responded: "That's right..."

"With so many runes, I wonder who will dare to say that Atlant is a barren land in the future?" The man seemed very excited!

"You dare to say it's a barren land? Then I will really make him bald and hairless!"

Someone else raised a stone in his hand, and the rune of "fire" engraved on the stone instantly turned the stone into a blazing "flint"!

The people around suddenly burst into noise.

The tall and thin figure who spoke at the beginning looked at them and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work."

He looked at them.

"Father Xiuji... No, you are no longer a priest." Someone immediately responded: "Mr. Xiuji is too polite. This is also our own wish."

"That's right, and in the process of building these high walls, we also mastered new 'Runes'. It was worth it!"

The crowd was still noisy.

Xiuji Engat stood in front of the newly built high wall, looking at them, inhaling and exhaling again - inhaling the warm air emanating from the high wall, and exhaling the burning mist that seemed to be cooked by boiling blood.

this moment.

In this area on the southern edge of Atlantis, the snow was drifting in small pieces, like rolling sand and dust, not as drifting as in the deeper areas, but the cold remained the same.

This time.

But I also saw countless people gathered here.

Hundreds, even thousands, of "have-nothings" gathered here, wearing patched cotton jackets and carrying various construction and forging tools in their hands. They looked at Xiuji Engat, who had taken off his priest robe and put on a tattered cotton jacket like theirs, with a tall and thin figure and a thin and pale face, and they all had smiles on their faces.

It was a smile that came from the heart and was very happy.

Just like those penniless people who stayed in the high city to carry out repair work.

They also have visions for the future in their hearts.

With satisfaction for the present.

You can feel your own improvement at all times.

Feel the value of being alive.

This has never happened before -

They do.

The same is true for Hughie Ngat.

After obtaining Li Re's "commission" and "permission", he left the capital of Atlan, went down the mountain, and has been busy building the Rune Wall.

Until now.

More than a month has passed.

He successfully built hundreds of walls.

It also successfully covered the entire border of Atlantis with high power.

Although the walls are not connected to each other - but it is enough.

Connected walls would only create a new "principality". Only unconnected walls, which could protect others but allow everyone to enter, were what he pursued.

There can’t be any more people at the bottom of society in this world!

Xiuji Engat thought so.

He thought of those 'have-nots' who had been enslaved by him and who risked their lives to save him in the end, and of those people at the bottom of society who were more like living people than himself who was at the top... He couldn't help but become more determined!

He also thought more about the person who brought all this about.

"Praise the great Spirit King and Ruler!"

He said loudly: "Praise to all those who have nothing!"

This was the day when the church became a word of praise to God.

Now, he uses it to praise the "mortals" in this world.

"Praise the Spirit King and the Ruler."

The have-nots shouted back, "Praise the have-nots!"

rumble!

That's when.

In the midst of the drizzling snow, the swaying border and the noisy crowd.

The ground suddenly began to shake.

"What's the noise?"

Someone in the crowd was startled instantly.

"An earthquake—?!" Some people lowered their heads in confusion and saw the fine snow dust on the ground jumping up like gravel, rolling up bursts of white mist.

"No, that's not right. It's not an earthquake... This vibration is coming from the opposite direction!"

Some people suddenly understood and looked in the direction of the sound!

Looked at the other side of the high wall.

Looking to the south beyond the border of Atlantis.

The central direction of the Ariel Continent!

Then they saw it.

The pitch-black rolling object came rolling in like a tidal wave.

That is...

"The 'army' of the Middle Kingdom!"

Xiuji Engat, who was once a 'senior priest' of the Church of Death and had the potential to be promoted to 'archbishop', was instantly alert!

He clearly saw the specific appearance of the original rolling black tide.

It was a figure wearing jet-black armor, holding a spear and a sword.

That was the figure of a knight galloping towards them on top of a majestic horse.

That is also the flag of "Kingdom" and "Justice" flying in the sky!

The Central Kingdom is coming!

"Everyone, immediately retreat behind the high wall and defend it. At the same time, have people run along the high wall to the capital immediately - tell everyone along the way about the Kingdom's army's attack, and have them prepare for defense. At the same time, report the news!"

"Inform the Soul King and the Ruler!"

Xiuji Engat was very decisive.

He made a prompt decision and spoke like this!

As early as when Li Re just arrived at the border town, he had already been alert to the possible reaction of the Church of the World, and he had also anticipated the attack from the Central Kingdom.

Changing places.

If he were the church, he would never allow anyone to break the Abrahamic covenant - he would never allow anyone to blaspheme the realm of God.

The holy war that had previously taken place in Atlantis was only the beginning.

Now the Middle Kingdom is attacking.

This is also the highlight that truly tests them!

Isn't it for this reason that he has been continuously building high-rise buildings for more than a month?

Here.

The figure retreated into the high wall.

The crowd dispersed.

at this moment.

rumble!

The sound of galloping horses is getting closer!

In front of the high wall, the many penniless people gathered there quickly dispersed under Xiuji Engat's order.

Scattered onto the high wall that had just been erected behind them.

They also spread out to the surrounding areas, around the high rune wall that had been erected earlier.

The glow on the wall remains.

Amid the blazing surge, it was like a series of shields standing up - standing in front of the tidal wave of people and horses!

...

"Those runes on the wall...are they the runes of the 'Spirit King'?"

at the same time.

The rear of the attacking army.

On a towering hill at the northern border of the kingdom, a figure looked out across the 'other side' and spoke.

This place is only separated from Atlanta by a thin line, but it seems like being in two different worlds. One side is a dead and desolate place surrounded by eternal wind and snow, while the other side is a fertile and prosperous place with lush fields, flourishing vegetation, and warm sunshine.

And where the sun meets the shade of the trees.
