The oldest traditional power in the Divine Continent, the Empire of Light has existed even since ancient times.
For a long time, it has experienced several changes in the royal family. The leadership system with the Holy See of Light as the absolute core and the imperial family as the secular rule has been basically perfected.
With the improvement of the system, countless large and small temples have blossomed everywhere, covering every corner of the empire.
A convoy marched slowly through the Empire of Light. The convoy was not large, with only three carriages and five or six escorting mercenaries.
"Hey, what a boring mission! I'm back in this country full of hypocrisy. Every time I smell the scent of the Church of Light, I feel like vomiting."
He glanced listlessly at a church in the distance. A female mercenary holding a big sword and wearing silver leather armor complained casually, then turned to look at a majestic warrior with two battle axes on his back, with a look in his eyes.
There was a ripple. Compared to the hypocritical priest of light, she admired, or liked more, the strong man like this berserk warrior. She was speechless and asked: "Hibbert, do you think our mission is strange?
Just the cloth from these three carriages actually hired our Crazy Fighting Mercenary Group, aren't they afraid of losing money?"
Before the Berserker had time to reply, another thief-looking mercenary laughed: "You have to vomit every time you smell the scent of the Church of Light? Haha, Laurel, you won't..."
As soon as the thief said this, several other people in the mercenary group also glanced ambiguously at the female mercenary and the berserker, and laughed loudly.
"Raj, you're itchy again, aren't you!" Laurel spat, the heavy sword shook in his hand, and he stared at the thief fiercely, and the thief made a timely expression of fear and begging for mercy.
"Okay! We have entered the Empire of Light, Laurel, don't say anything bad about the Temple of Light anymore, those guys can never listen to disobedient words!"
The berserk warrior interrupted everyone's banter with a smile, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "But there is indeed something strange about this mission. These three carts of cloth actually hired us to send them all the way from the Empire to the Glory.
The city...forget it, ignore them, anyway, all the carriages have been inspected, and there is nothing wrong with the cloth. If they want to give us money, we have no reason to refuse."
Berserker is the most distinctive profession of the God of War Empire and the Orc Empire. In the God of War Empire, every berserker is an elite warrior trained by the God of War Temple. They can inspire their fighting spirit by praying to the violent God of War power. When the fighting spirit becomes crazy,
To a certain extent, they will become mad like orcs, but the power of this madness is weaker than that of orcs, but they can still possess reason.
As the leader of the Mad War mercenary group, Hibbert's words naturally attracted the attention of the mercenaries, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with the small business group that entrusted them, so he could only make a few random guesses and continue on the road.
.
The convoy gradually traveled deep into the Empire of Light. In a carriage, two people sat silently.
Feeling the sacred aura faintly contained in the air, Nilac frowned slightly. The construction of the theocracy of the Light Empire has always been far ahead of all other countries. The theocracy naturally requires temples and churches to maintain, so the number of temples in the Light Empire is also
The most among all countries. In the Empire of Light, the Church of Light is everything, and no one can go against its will, not even the imperial royal family!
It’s just... this is just the border of the Empire of Light! Even this remote area is filled with the aura of holiness...
The spiritual power slowly and covertly explored out, feeling the source of the holy aura, and a majestic temple gradually appeared in Nilac's mind.
The temple that emerges from the spirit is a huge energy source that emits light.
Continuously, the sacred power breath continues to emanate from it, just like the sun spreading its light to the earth. Wherever it passes, any darkness is expelled. The same is true for this sacred breath. Wherever it passes, any evil breath is emitted.
It can't be concealed.
He did not explore the temple too much. Although the temple could continue to emit such a huge sacred aura, which surprised Nilac, the necromancer also faintly sensed some danger inside... The purpose of this trip was only to take away Wiki's life.
, Nilac is not prepared to contact the Church of Light prematurely, and is even unwilling to contact it at all...
Slowly withdrawing his mental power, Nilac hid his death aura better. With his divine body as a cover, the sacred aura emanating from the temple could not detect his presence.
"Being able to fight against both the Dark Empire and the Undead Empire for so many years, the Light Empire is truly unique in its strength!"
Amidst Nilac's sigh, the thin middle-aged man sitting opposite him showed a respectful smile, and whispered: "It is absolutely true what your Excellency said, the Bright Empire has too many temples, and they are destroying the organization.
It is also the most stringent, so the development of the organization here has been stagnant. After all, generally
But I don’t have the ability to hide your aura like you, sir!”
Most of the members of the Hand of Dis possess the power of darkness or death. This kind of power is most easily detected by the Church of Light. The Undead Empire is the most powerful enemy of the Empire of Light, so it will naturally not allow the Hand of Dis.
Have a branch here...
Nilac nodded slightly. He didn't have much to do about this situation. After all, the organization had not made any progress for hundreds of years. How could he solve it overnight...
With another thought in his heart, Nirak said slowly and casually: "By the way, Elder Gourcuff should have received a notice from Lord Shadow. Do you have any good ideas about the organizational changes I proposed, or
, have you found any flaws or omissions?”
The thin and lean middle-aged man is Gourcuff, the fourth elder of the organization. The fighting spirit he possesses is not the power of dark attributes, so he can accompany Nilak into the Empire of Light at his request.
Hearing Nilak's casual voice, Gourcuff couldn't help but tremble in his heart. With the accidents in the three major branches headed by Wiki, and the internal change plan proposed by Nilak, some discordant voices have appeared at the top of the organization.
One party, led by the Ninth Elder, believes that things should be done in a prudent manner and should not casually propose any reform plans. After all, the current organization can no longer withstand any blow.
The other side is headed by Nilac, and the important member is naturally his agent Audrey. He believes that if the organization wants to exist for a long time, it must change. Only the organizational structure that best adapts to the situation can develop the organization to the greatest extent and stabilize the organization...
….
If true to his heart, Gourcuff would naturally agree with the Ninth Elder's opinion. After all, once the change occurs, the first ones whose power will be damaged are these powerful elders!
Moreover, the Ninth Elder has always had a transcendent status in the organization. Even the former Grand Elder Spark did not dare to oppose its wishes at will...
However, the current situation has changed again. The story of Elder Nilak forcefully killing Archduke Hall and Leander in front of the three powerful men of the Holy Realm has already spread throughout the continent.
At this time, the Holy Necromancer's status in the organization was at its peak, and he was even able to confront the Shadow Elders head-on without falling behind!
How to answer...how to choose...
Countless thoughts flashed through Gourcuff's mind, and some embarrassment appeared on his face. The fourth elder seemed to hesitate and said: "Sir, your proposal is undoubtedly suitable for the development of the organization. Naturally, I don't have any
The opinion is just what Lord Shadow means, and it is also for the sake of the stability of the organization. Things in the three major branches have not been officially settled yet. If we are busy with changes, I am afraid there will be something wrong..."
There were people on both sides who could not be offended, but Gourcuff was caught in the middle, but it was a bit difficult for him to behave, so he had no choice but to shoot both sides and delay the matter.
Nirak could naturally hear Gourcuff's concerns and knew his worries. The smile on his face did not change at all, and he said slowly: "Haha, elder, there is no need to express my position in a hurry. I am not an impatient person. I am really still there now."
There is no time for change. I just hope you can give more consideration to my proposal. In the organization, the only one who can gain my trust and have the ability to help me is you, besides Audrey! I wish I had participated
The assassination trial, as well as officially taking over the position of Great Elder, were only possible with your help!"
The Ninth Elder... The prestige of the Ninth Elder is indeed high enough!
Nirak sneered in his heart, but he did not forget to try to win over him. However, the words of win-over were true. The person who helped him greatly in the beginning was indeed Gourcuff!
Regarding the First Elder's wooing, the Fourth Elder felt bitter in his heart and had to nod his head repeatedly.
After another seemingly casual conversation, Nikilak's spiritual tentacles scattered around the carriage moved slightly, and he nodded towards Gourcuff, and his figure slowly turned into a shadow and disappeared into the carriage.
The sudden movement of the necromancer made Gourcuff's heart skip a beat, his ears twitched twice, and a subtle sound that was difficult to detect gradually reached his ears. As the motorcade moved forward, this subtle sound gradually became clearer.
A faint smile appeared on Gourcuff's face. Ambush? Robber?
But he didn't say anything. After all, at this time, he was just a small businessman, a small businessman with three carts of cloth!
And Nilak, who turned into a shadow and lurked in the darkness, was silent. Not even the mercenary group knew of his existence.
After advancing for a while, the convoy came to a forest. Suddenly, Hibbert frowned and waved the team to stop. The battle-hardened Berserker was vaguely aware of some unusual atmosphere.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, two shining battle axes appeared in his hands. The berserker shouted: "Who is it! Since you are in front, why don't you come out to see him?".
