Chapter 832: The Conspiracy of the Supreme Truth
"Interesting..."
Nowen, who was watching the changes in various places from the perspectives of different believers, gradually sensed a hint of interest.
"Should we say this is a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Or is it intentional promotion?"
Although the number of believers is limited, the scope of Nowen's "surveillance" is expanding day by day as he constantly includes new people in his "scope of vision" week by week.
This is like playing a strategy chess game. The more scouts you send out, the more sources of intelligence you can collect.
Many mortals need to summarize and communicate with each other to obtain information, but they are all at Nowen's fingertips.
Through the girl Valerie beside Wallace, Nowen learned that Archbishop Eugene and the Five Saints of Radiance went to the border of Kalezi Territory together, and were planning a ceremony to strengthen the [Past Glory] divine barrier.
Then from the perspective of Prince Vladin.
The capital Starosh is undoubtedly in a "weak" state of defense due to the temporary departure of the top combat power of the Radiance Cult and the large-scale transfer of the king's army.
Although King Kenredin and Archmage Alcandas are still in charge, there are obvious gaps in the top, middle and basic combat power.
According to past experience, during the monster red tide, there will always be cultists in the Kingdom of Reyak who try to take advantage of the chaos.
Of course, these crazy guys will basically be quickly suppressed by the local crusaders who stay behind, and they will not be given the opportunity to escalate the situation.
The capital should be the safest place in the entire kingdom. After all, the Holy Land of Glory is in the southwest of the capital. Under normal circumstances, at least 2 to 3 of the five legendary priests of the 6th level of the Five Saints of Glory will stay behind even during the monster red tide.
With them in the capital, the cultists can't cause any trouble.
The situation has changed this year.
In order to strengthen the ritual of [Past Glory], the Five Saints of Glory are all dispatched.
Norwen carefully calculated.
"Think about it carefully... the people of the Supreme Truth Church, the action they carried out in the Stone Fortress did have an impact."
Has the dwarf city Stone Fortress been defended?
Under the fearless resistance of the followers of Norwen, the city was not completely destroyed by the Stone Spirit Fertility. Although the dwarves suffered heavy losses, their base was still there, and they could still recover after a dozen years of rest.
But for the cultists of the Supreme Truth Church, their plan was not a complete failure.
The real "complete defeat" should be that the Stone Spirit Fertility was "stillborn" before it could be awakened, and there was no need to break out the so-called Stone Fortress Defense War.
The mysterious gray dwarf messenger would be considered successful as long as he could awaken the Stone Spirit Fertility.
Because the appearance of such a monster with a strength far exceeding that of the 6th level is itself a glaring deterrent!
The news spread to the Kingdom of Reyak and the Church of the Glowing God.
They must have had doubts in their hearts.
Since the cultists can create such dangerous monsters in the Distorted Wetlands, it will be even easier to do similar operations in the Dark Forest!
After all, there are no Crusaders in the Dark Forest. As long as the cultists want to make trouble, it is difficult to even find where they are.
If monsters of that strength also appear during the monster red tide, with only the existing defensive forces, even if they can finally hold on, they will probably suffer heavy losses.
Don't forget.
The stone spirit freaks awakened by the stone fortress are in a particularly weak state. At that time, their defense capabilities are not strong, and even a level 1 professional can cause damage to them.
The stone spirit freaks in their prime are definitely a nightmare for the regular king's soldiers on the border defense line.
What's more dangerous is that no one knows whether the [Past Glory] barrier can stop monsters of the stone spirit freak level!
The losses caused by the loss of the defense line are acceptable. The worst case is that the border will suffer again like King Kenreddin did when he succeeded to the throne decades ago.
If there is a problem with the [Past Glory] barrier, it will be a big trouble!
Following this logic, we will come to a logical conclusion:
"There must be a matching top combat force stationed at the border to ensure the safety of [Past Glory]!"
Therefore, the Five Saints of Radiance and Archbishop Eugene heading to the border together is the most appropriate option.
Their plan to try to reinforce [Past Glory] is also reasonable.
But when they left, the defense of the capital was empty, which naturally gave the cultists an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Hiss... Those guys from the Supreme Truth Church looked crazy at the time, and they actually understood the conspiracy?"
Norwen smacked his lips, very interested.
This is a two-choice problem given by the cultists.
The kingdom's garrison force is limited, and either heavy troops are assigned to guard the border or stay in the capital.
If you want to take both into account, the final result may be that neither of them will benefit.
Judging from the current situation.
No mistake, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum, one look!
The Cult of the Radiant God chose to protect the border barrier of [Past Glory].
As for the safety of the capital, they chose to trust King Kenredin, the Pope, and the mages of the Magic Hermitage represented by Archmage Alcandas.
Correspondingly.
A group of cultists hiding in the dark began to stir, constantly carrying out sacrificial rituals in the temporary base of the Shelter Plain.
It's clear that they are going to cause trouble!
...
Nowen has seen all the decisions and arrangements of the mortals.
However, he did not intend to intervene immediately to change the status quo.
On the one hand, his believers were also busy guarding the territories outside the Dark Forest, which was considered to help Ceylon relieve the pressure of the monster red tide, and there was no chance to rush to the capital to help.
On the other hand, it was a feeling in Norwen's heart.
Norwen vaguely felt that the monster red tide, the "troublemaking" of the cultists in the Sanctuary Plain, and the five saints of the Radiant Light going to the border were not that simple.
Because he still remembered an important detail:
If the plan of the Supreme Truth Church in the Stone Fortress paved the way for their next actions, they tried to use this "two-choice" model to make something happen.
The Radiant Light Church chose to take the challenge head-on, and the enemy would be stopped by the generals, and the water would be covered by the earth.
The result of the fight between the two sides, who would win and who would lose is still hard to say.
Because even Norwen could not be sure what the lunatics of the Supreme Truth Church were going to do in the Sanctuary Plain, and whether the damage they caused could be properly handled.
But what about the "third party forces" that have been lurking in this series of events?
The Stone Castle dwarf named Bron Freeman regained consciousness after reading an anonymous letter sent to Stone Castle from Green Harbor, which allowed him to successfully contact Norwen's followers. The two sides worked together to complete the surprise attack and beheading of the messenger of the Supreme Truth Church.
The sender of the "anonymous letter" was obviously the "third party" that had been looming in the incident!
What did the third party plan to do with the monster Red Tide?
