Chapter 620: Withdrawal

The holy light shone all over the sky, and the evil spirit that rose to the sky was directly suppressed.

The originally terrifying and gloomy cursed land, bathed in the holy light, soon restored its former peace.

"Light-based forbidden spell, holy light shines everywhere!"

Hudson, who knew the goods, recognized this magic at once.

Unlike ordinary forbidden spells, holy light shines everywhere has little killing power on ordinary people, but it has a very strong restraining effect on dark forces.

The ground world did not react, but the underground world was already full of grief.

The attack came too suddenly. The dark elves who attacked the barrier could not imagine that the enemy's attack could actually pass through the seal and fall!

In a short time, hundreds of dark elves turned into ashes under the holy light.

There were even more injured. No one who was touched by the holy light was intact.

"Hurry up and retreat, get out of the enemy's attack range!"

The dark elf general reacted very quickly and issued a retreat order immediately, but the disaster still happened.

In a short time, hundreds of dark elves spontaneously combusted on the spot.

The terrifying scene frightened all the dark elves and they hurriedly retreated. They just like war, not tired of living.

"Venerable Meyer, what means are the enemy using?"

The scene before him has surpassed the cognition of the dark elf general, and he can only pin his hopes on the knowledgeable strong men in the tribe.

"I don't know!

It may be a new forbidden spell created by the race above, which penetrates the seal and projects down, and has such a strong power. I'm afraid it is extraordinary.

It seems that the major races above are not idle after our departure, and are still studying targeted means.

Okay, Christa, you can't be blamed for what happened today. I will speak for you on the Queen's side.

Suspend the attack first, and take action after finding countermeasures."

Venerable Meyer said impatiently.

The strong men in the Holy Land have a high voice everywhere. In the inner world of the earth, this status gap is even more obvious.

They are all people who have lived for hundreds of years. Venerable Meyer can see Christa's little thoughts at a glance.

But now there is no time to care. After staying in the inner world for tens of thousands of years, the dark elves knew nothing about the outside world.

It was obviously not a good thing that they suffered a setback before the seal entrance was opened.

Everyone is developing, and the products of the surface world are more abundant. Who knows how far it has developed now?

Of course, the inner world also has its own advantages.

For example: rich mineral resources.

Many precious minerals that are rarely seen in the outside world are everywhere here.

Looking at the weapons and armor of the dark elf soldiers, you can see that they are all fine products. In the outside world, only nobles are qualified to equip them.

However, compared with the rich resources in the outside world, these advantages are not obvious.

If it weren't for peeping at the rich resources in the outside world, the tribes in the inner world would not have the obsession to seize the land under the sun.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

...

The enemy stopped the attack, the seal was temporarily stabilized, and the people below began to cheer, but the faces of the senior officials were very ugly.

"Marshal, we don't know much about the inner world, but judging from the momentum of the enemy's attack on the seal, it is definitely not an easy task.

The shock just now can only temporarily slow down the enemy's offensive. When the enemy reacts, it will be ineffective."

Patriarch Tyron said solemnly.

The forbidden spell just now was cast by the kingdom's priests. Except for not using artifacts, it is almost the strongest attack.

No one knows how much effect it can play.

Without damaging the seal, many violent attack methods cannot be used.

The purpose of everyone coming here this time is to bless the seal, not to break the seal.

"Patriarch, it's good enough to deter the enemy.

With a little more time to buffer, we can also prepare more means.

I think everyone should be familiar with the underground palace of Xueyue Lake. In fact, the complete seal should be centered on the underground palace.

The means prepared by the ancestors are still very sufficient.

If the underground palace has not been maintained for a long time, when the seal is broken, the water of Xueyue Lake will flow into the inner world of the earth.

It is still insufficient for us to rearrange the seal. However, there is still hope to repair the original broken seal.

The worst result is nothing more than the seal breaking, leading the water of Xueyue Lake to impact the inner race of the earth!"

These are all sincere words. Hudson has high respect for the ancestors who sealed the inner world of the earth.

The enemy went through a lot of hardships to break the seal, but when the seal was opened, they were greeted by a vast ocean.

It is hard to imagine how devastated they would be.

After listening to Hudson's explanation, everyone showed incredible expressions.

If Xueyue Lake is part of the seal, then the origin of this huge lake may not be as simple as natural formation.

It is not difficult for the Saint Domain strongmen to create a lake with human power.

But it is not easy to create a Snow Moon Lake.

Let Maxim and Bear Stearns do it, and they can keep them busy for decades.

There is no doubt that this is impossible.

Although the life span of the Saint Domain strongmen is long, it is impossible to squander it like this. It is even more impossible to let ordinary people dig. Such a large amount of earthwork can build a mountain.

The only explanation is: the person who created the lake is very strong.

The road to strength is endless.

In the continent of Aslant, as long as one's own strength is strong enough, everything is possible.

"Marshal, the cursed land is too big, and any place may be the entrance to the center of the earth.

It is not easy to mobilize the lake water!

And this is a one-time measure. Even if the flood destroys the enemy's vanguard, the follow-up problems are still not solved.

Once the enemy recovers, war is still inevitable.

Before solving the orcs, the kingdom should not provoke strong enemies again. The best choice at the moment is to seal these evil demons first."

Patriarch Tyron shook his head and said.

The religious leader does not mean that he does not know the military.

In the Alpha Kingdom, the probability of becoming a high-level official in the kingdom without going to the battlefield is almost zero.

The efficient mechanism of militarism is based on the premise that the high-level officials know the military. If a few military novices are put in, there will be chaos immediately.

Before becoming the religious leader of the kingdom, Patriarch Tyron also served in the army and even made considerable military achievements, but he participated as a clergyman.

It was because he understood the real situation of the kingdom that he was able to quickly come to the conclusion: the kingdom cannot fight on multiple fronts!

"While the enemy is stunned, start repairing the seal first!

Send someone to notify Little Caesar and ask him to invite the masters of the Five Nations Alliance to come and help."

Directly ordering the king to do something is definitely treason.

However, the one who spoke was the only saint in the kingdom, so everything is another matter.

Frankly speaking, Hudson was also very curious about this person's identity, but unfortunately the royal family kept it strictly hidden.

Except for the identity of the saint, everything else is kept secret. With Hudson's strength in the kingdom, he was unable to find out the origin of this person.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this person has a close relationship with the royal family.

Saints are not involved in the secular world. In theory, they have little impact on the politics of the kingdom.

In fact, everyone has selfishness, and saints are no exception.

In addition to the supremacy of the gods, they also have things they care about.

It's just that compared with ordinary people, their moral cultivation is higher and their pursuits are more lofty.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Hudson hadn't noticed it before, but now he found something wrong.

The three people who took the initiative to expose their sanctuary identities in the kingdom all have close ties with the royal family. Other big families in the country have not made any moves, which is very abnormal.

Although it is difficult to break through the sanctuary, the special situation of the Alpha Kingdom must also be considered.

All the strong men have fought their way out of the battlefield, and there is no flower that blooms in a greenhouse.

Compared with ordinary eighth-level strong men, the probability of them being able to break through is much higher.

Even if they are unlucky, there are so many strong men in the noble camp that they will not be wiped out.

When any problem cannot be explained, it becomes reasonable after being put on "interests".

Hiding strength is also the way for old nobles to survive.

It is rare for him, the marshal of the kingdom who is in the limelight, to attract the attention of the royal family. Naturally, everyone will not come out to grab the limelight at this time.

Less attention means more freedom.

They are all old foxes who can make a fortune quietly and will never be ostentatious.

If there is a choice, Hudson also wants the Koslo family to keep a low profile, but unfortunately this is impossible.

Compared with these old nobles, he is a true entrepreneur, and the most successful one.

Wherever he goes, he is in the sight of the outside world. If he wants to keep a low profile and fade out of everyone's sight, he must find a more eye-catching one.

However, this kind of hiding is also limited. If something happens, he can't hide it.

They still know which masters each family has. It's unreasonable not to show up when the kingdom calls for it.

This is also an opportunity to test the bottom!

For Hudson, as long as they are not his own enemies, the more masters of the Holy Land, the better.

The more masters there are from all sides, the stronger the kingdom will be, and the higher the probability that Xueyue Territory will survive the crisis.

Threats are a matter of the future. Before the external enemies are eliminated, internal fighting will not become the mainstream.

Even if there are changes in the country, the positions of Xueyue Territory and Mountain Territory are naturally outside the storm vortex.

...

The Alpha Kingdom is doing its best to bless the seal, and the negotiations in the Papal State are also coming to an end.

The progress of the negotiations suddenly accelerated, not because the sincerity of the three parties increased, but because the desired benefits had been taken by the two major powers.

Thanks to the withdrawal of various countries, the freed-up maritime transport capacity directly benefited the two countries.

With the increase in transportation capacity, a large amount of spoils were transported back to the country, and the population robbed gradually approached the limit of what the two countries could accommodate.

There is no shortage of land. From the perspective of land alone, there is a place to accommodate the empty Papal States.

The key to the problem is not to rob people, but to resettle them later.

The power of the nobles is not unlimited. If they had not obtained rich spoils, they would have collapsed long ago.

All the way to now, the noble officers who participated in the operation have made a lot of money.

A large amount of spoils flowed into the market, and even the price of arms in the international market was killed by 20% against the trend.

You must know that the current Aslant continent is not peaceful, and the smoke of gunpowder permeates the entire continent. At this time when the price of arms should have skyrocketed, it actually fell instead of rising.

The situation of other types of commodities is similar. As long as the items that exist in large quantities in the spoils, the prices have been hammered.

There are many commodities with falling prices. Even if the prices of many commodities are reduced, no one will buy them. There is simply no strong purchasing power in the market.

If this situation continues, the dividends of the Near East Development Bank next year will be a bunch of unsalable commodities.

As the income from robbery decreases, everyone's enthusiasm for robbery will also gradually fade.

A centipede is still alive even after death!

As long as the internal situation can be stabilized, it is difficult for the external turmoil to bring down the Church all at once.

After all, it is the oldest power inherited by the human race, and no one knows how many cards the Church has.

Neither the Alpha Kingdom nor the Frank Kingdom wants to force them to hurry.

What if they really fight hard and want to drag them on the road together, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Even if there is hatred, you can hold it in your heart first. It is also a relief to push the hands behind the scenes and slowly watch the Church decline.

This war has seriously overdrawn the future of the Church. The loss of population and army is secondary, the key is that there is no successor.

At least in the war, no particularly dazzling young talents were found, and there were only endless internal factional struggles.

On the Holy Mountain, Pius VII flipped the draft of the armistice agreement in his hand and threw it directly to the ground.

"Still so aggressive, it's simply too much!"

Although he shouted loudly, Pius VII was not at all upset in his heart. The performance at this moment was just for the outside world to see.

The main point of secret negotiations is confidentiality. Naturally, the fewer people who know, the better, and there is no such thing as telling the truth.

There is only one truth. Pius VII did not want to bear the stigma of losing power and humiliating the church, so he simply played the game of procrastination.

When the enemy has robbed enough, he will naturally pack up and leave. When the enemy runs away with the army, he will jump out and announce the recovery of lost territory.

They were struggling to resist throughout the whole process, without any compromise with the enemy, and never signed a treaty to betray the Holy See.

Politically, they got full marks!

After seeing the truth, everyone naturally cooperated with the performance. Responsibility is something that should not be taken if it is possible.

"Your Majesty, calm down!

In any case, compared with the previous negotiations, the concessions made by the enemy this time are still much greater.

If we keep trying, we may get unexpected gains!"

Bishop Montesson's words were too much for everyone to complain about. It was nonsense to say that the negotiations were successful. As early as two months ago, the negotiations between the two sides were in a deadlock.

Now the representatives of both sides are just pretending, and they call it working for world peace.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"The Franks have withdrawn!"

"It is said that something happened inside the Frankish Empire, and some troops need to be withdrawn from the front line to stabilize the situation in their hometown!"
