"Why? Did you say the reason?" Owen asked.

"Your Majesty the King."

In response, Bishop Flynn replied solemnly: "His Majesty the Pope said that this crisis is not just about the undead monsters dormant in the north. You will know about it later."

Not just undead monsters? What do you mean? Are there new threats?

"I received the Pope's message."

Bishop Flynn and Teresa were only responsible for delivering the message, and they probably didn't know what the Pope meant, so Irving wouldn't ask any more questions and would just wait and see.

"Then, Your Majesty the King."

Finally, Bishop Flynn warned: "If you decide to go to the Holy City to meet with His Majesty the Pope, please use the radio equipment to notify you in advance so that the Holy City can be prepared accordingly."

"I know." Owen responded casually.

After all the words that needed to be conveyed were said, Bishop Flynn resigned and returned to the church.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Teresa deliberately leaned closer to Owen and whispered something.

"Your Majesty, because of the failure of faith magic, the Holy City has been in chaos. This big crisis may be more difficult than ever before, so you must make all kinds of preparations."

"Well, thank you for reminding me." Irving also replied in a low voice.

The failure of faith magic means that the Templars cannot enter the state of faith, and their combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, making them unable to better respond to major crises.

The church probably didn't expect that the magic of faith would fail in such an emergency.

This reminds Owen of something he joked about last year when he visited the Holy Theocracy of Caleb - Are the gods planning to abandon us humans?

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Morning Light has established a relatively complete industrial system in the past few years and is able to independently produce various types of military weapons and equipment.

These advanced weapons and equipment will be an important reliance in dealing with this big crisis, and they are much more reliable than belief in magic.

"Why are you so polite to me?"

With a pop, Teresa kissed Owen on the face like a dragonfly, and then took a few steps back with a blushing face.

"Your Majesty, I still have things to deal with, so I'm going to leave now."

Theresa ran away quickly without giving Owen time to react.

Actually doing such a thing in front of him, Marpel behind him also blushed slightly, and said with some jealousy: "Teresa ran so fast, maybe it was intentional."

Reaching out to touch the kissed cheek, Owen smiled slightly and thought to himself, this girl is really good.

Noticing the gaze directed by Mapel, he quickly pretended to cough a few times to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Ahem! Let's go, Mapel."

…

After returning to the church, Bishop Flynn told the clergy and believers to strengthen their faith and not waver in any way! The failure of the magic of belief is only temporary.

On the other side, Owen hurried to the city hall and summoned the manager Clive and other important department ministers to hold an emergency meeting.

The next day, city halls in major cities across the country issued important announcements, declaring that the Dawn Kingdom had entered a state of national emergency and activated the "Emergency Military Service Law" passed two years ago.

All military factories will be fully operational from now on and implement a three-shift production system to ensure the supply of military supplies.

Military camps in various places have relaxed the conditions for recruitment and begun to recruit soldiers on a large scale. As long as they are physically sound and willing to serve the country, they will be recruited, and they will be given emergency training to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

In order to cope with the coming war, the country's war machine began to operate.

In the afternoon, while everyone was busy, Viscount Jarvis came to meet with Owen and reported on his request for support from other countries.

"How about it?"

Putting down the documents in his hands, Owen asked: "When will other countries decide to send troops to support us?"

"Sorry, Your Majesty."

Because he failed to complete the task assigned by Owen, Viscount Jarvis said apologetically: "I have contacted all countries that have signed emergency mutual aid agreements. Many of them have been attacked by a large number of unknown monsters recently and are unable to send troops.

Support our country.”

Hearing this, Owen frowned and suddenly realized that things seemed not simple. Undead monsters had just appeared here, but other countries were attacked by unknown monsters invariably. This was too much of a coincidence.

"what is going on?"

"Your Majesty, it's like this..."

Viscount Jarvis told Owen everything he knew.

A huge legion of sea monsters appeared in the sea in the southern part of the mainland. They have ferocious fish heads and use strange calls to communicate. Both the Fajialan Alliance and the Star Flame Kingdom have been attacked by them, and a large number of civilians have been killed.

massacre.

On the Xiayue Federation side, a large number of Winged Tribes have recently flown to the island from the south, informing them that a large group of flying monsters are approaching from the southeast.

In order to deal with the threat of flying monsters, the Xiayue Federation is actively preparing for war and is unable to send troops to support the Kingdom of Dawn.

The same is true at the western end of the continent. A large number of unknown insect swarms suddenly emerged from the depths of the Foro Mountains. They attacked the elven country Venola Council and the remaining forces of the Popon Empire.

Even the dwarf country Femitagon, which built its city underground, did not escape this disaster. A group of large and small worm monsters suddenly emerged from the ground.

The three underground cities of the capital, Rudol, Uzken and Ambila, have entered a state of war. Only the newly built underground city of Nuva has not been attacked.

However, Nuva has to send troops to rescue the other three underground cities, and is also unable to support the Kingdom of Dawn.

It was not attacked by unknown monsters, and there were only two countries that could send troops to support it - the Holy Kingdom of Caleb and the Sorcerer Kingdom of Bigris.

"What?!"

After listening to Viscount Jarvis's report, Owen finally understood the meaning of what the Pope conveyed to him yesterday.

Undead monsters are just one of the threats from the north. The impact of this crisis is beyond imagination, and the entire continent is in danger.

As for why the Caleb Holy Theocracy received news of attacks on various countries earlier than the Kingdom of Morning Light?

This is actually very simple. When faced with a sudden crisis, the first country that countries think of turning to for help must be the Holy Kingdom of Caleb.

After all, in the first two holy wars, it was the Templars who led the coalition forces of various countries to defeat the enemies.

With this precedent, the Holy Theocracy of Caleb naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading all countries to overcome the crisis.

Moreover, in the emergency mutual aid agreement signed last fall, other countries promised to send troops to support the Kingdom of Dawn if undead monsters appeared.

It did not say that if any country is attacked, the Kingdom of Dawn will go to support them.

At that time, no one thought that there would be other threats besides undead monsters.

Not to mention, the Kingdom of Dawn is always on guard against the undead monsters in the north and should not easily send troops to support other countries.
