Chapter 316 The holy war is coming, and the war is coming
After the wedding, Link and Aria spent a sweet and short honeymoon, and then devoted their energy to intense work again.
Although the matter in the Northland has been resolved, there are still countless troubles that need to be resolved. During the time that Link left, although the headquarters was handling various matters in an orderly manner under the leadership of senior officials, some things were still backlogged waiting for Link.
Solve it yourself.
In addition, the rewards agreed upon by Remilia and Link were also delivered, including more than 50,000 books alone. Most of them are ancient books that have been lost. If they are spread, it will definitely cause a commotion.
So crazy.
With a wave of his hand, Link announced the construction of a large library specifically to collect these books, and planned to turn the large library into the world's first library, just like the British Library on Earth, and this plan was also approved.
Support from senior management.
How valuable knowledge is, anyone with any sense will understand that Link's decision will provide a cradle for the spread and inheritance of civilization and knowledge, and will also enhance the prestige of the Father God Religion. There is no reason not to support it.
Link left the matter of building the Great Library to his men, and not long after, a major news came from the east, that is, the holy war that the Roland Empire had been preparing for had finally broken out.
Just as Link and the others expected, in the face of the Roland Empire's request to 'borrow the road', except for those affiliated countries, other countries refused. You must know that the Roland Empire mobilized a million troops to march westward, and there will be countless more to follow.
The troops are on standby. God knows if this borrowing will make the heads of the heads of those countries move. The heads of those countries will only agree if they are mentally retarded.
What's more, even if there are countries that are really willing to borrow the road, the Roland Empire may not leave, because once it passes, those countries will have their retreat blocked, and the Roland Empire's troops will not be able to get logistical supplies.
It's a tragedy. So it's impossible for the Roland Empire to just pass by without fighting.
I don’t know how long this expedition will last. The Roland Empire needs a stable rear, so wherever it passes, it must conquer those countries that block the way. It is a holy war anyway, so just have a reputation of colluding with the devil.
I can fight it justifiably.
Faced with the fierceness of the Roland Empire, many countries have united and prepared to fight against the Roland Empire together. Anyone with a bit of brains can understand the meaning of the death of the Roland Empire. At this juncture, not many countries will continue to fight openly and covertly, and they must work together to fight against the enemy.
It's the right way.
However, even if these countries unite, can they really withstand the attack of the Roland Empire?
The answer came out on the third day after the war started. The Roland Empire actually divided its army into ten groups to attack. In one day, it destroyed the joint forces of more than a dozen countries and captured more than thirty cities. No country could defeat Roland.
The imperial army blocked it for an hour!
During the war, the Roland Empire sacrificed several weapons that had never appeared before, the most shocking of which were magic cannons and airships. Magic cannons and airships were ancient magical technologies.
It was lost after the catastrophe thousands of years ago. Only a few records remain.
Unexpectedly, the Roland Empire would actually manufacture these lost magical technology products. I don’t know if they researched them themselves or found ancient relics. I guess the latter is more likely.
With the assistance of these powerful ancient magic weapons, those countries simply cannot withstand the onslaught of the Roland Empire. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as a mountainous defeat. It is estimated that all those countries will fall within a month at most.
Since the Roland Empire issued a declaration of jihad, all parties have been eyeing the Roland Empire, including the Father God Church and the Kingdom of Stars. Therefore, the news of the start of the war came as soon as possible. And after learning that the Roland Empire had started,
The horrific results made everyone take a deep breath.
According to this momentum, it is estimated that the Kingdom of Stars will be conquered in less than two years. Will the Kingdom of Stars be able to withstand it by then?
This has to be a big question mark. The power of Roland's empire exceeds everyone's imagination, giving the senior leaders of the Father God Church a strong sense of crisis and urgency.
However, Sylvanas is more worried about this matter than the Church of the Father. Facing the unimaginable combat power of the Roland Empire, she is under the greatest pressure, but it also arouses her ambition, so
, she also took action immediately and began to gather troops.
"The Queen is worthy of being a Queen, and she is really decisive in what she does." After receiving the news that the Royal Army was secretly taking action, Link raised a smile. He knew that Sylvanas would definitely not sit still and wait for death. It would not be long before this happened.
It will cause a bloody storm in neighboring countries.
Thinking of this, Link couldn't help but sigh: "With this, the Father God Sect will start to be busy again. Really, how long will it take to relax? Sylvanas will really find trouble for me."
This sounds like a complaint, but in fact Link is also excited. The greater the power of the Kingdom of Stars, the greater the power of God the Father's Religion, and the greater the power of God the Father's Religion, which means that there will be more and more followers.
, for him now, the greatest achievement is watching the number of believers continue to increase.
As for the threat from the Roland Empire... Haha, since the Roland Empire has been so strong from the beginning, it will definitely offend many forces and make many forces vigilant. If the Roland Empire continues to fight, it will encounter other empires.
Yes, if the buffer zone between empires is lost, then there will inevitably be a situation where one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
In the world of Sorakon, all empires have strong foundations. If the Roland Empire can be backed by ancient magical weapons, can other countries not have good things? Even if the Kingdom of Stars does not move, other empires will compete with the Roland Empire.
The conflict started, allowing the Kingdom of Stars and the Cult of the Father to have more time to develop.
Taking a step back, even if other empires do not conflict with the Roland Empire, will the Father God Church and the Star Kingdom be afraid of the Roland Empire? You must know that even if it is faster, the Roland Empire will take two years to fight, and
Two years is enough to change a lot of things.
Therefore, in the face of the chaos, Link was not as panicked as his men, but very excited. For preaching, there is no more suitable place for the spread of faith than the collapse of rules after the chaos, and the chaos in Orui continent is getting worse and worse.
The bigger it is, the more conducive it is to missionary work.
Under Link's supervision, the Father God Church quickly walked away from the threat of the Roland Empire and returned to work. As far as the church members are concerned, as long as Link does not mess up, everything is easy. You must know that they are a religion.
People, there are gods sitting above them. Since Link, the messenger of God the Father, did not panic, what else do they have to fear? Even if the sky falls, the Pope will support them. They only need to do their own thing.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to May 30, the last day of May, the fifteenth day after Link's wedding, and the twentieth day after the start of the Holy War.
On this day, Ashmita, who had been staying in the Virgin Palace since the birth of the Holy Realm, suddenly came to the Papal Palace to see Link, and made a request that surprised Link: "His Majesty the Pope, I would like to
Go and see the East."
Faced with this request, Link was stunned for a while and then said: "Can you tell me the reason?"
Ashmita said calmly: "I feel that there are many undead wailing in the east, which is full of death and despair, and the Holy Cloth of Virgo has been guiding me to go there. Therefore, I want to go to the east to see
Look, let’s see what the place where the Holy War is unfolding looks like, maybe this will be an opportunity for my subordinates to make a breakthrough.”
"An opportunity for a breakthrough? Are you going to break through?" Link's eyes suddenly lit up.
Since realizing the seventh sense, the Golden Saints have improved, but not by much. They have been stuck in the early stage of the Seventh Sense, and the Golden Saints don't know what to do to make new breakthroughs.
Ashmidayan has a chance to break through, which means she has found a way to break through to the middle stage of the seven senses. Once she reaches the middle stage of the seven senses, her strength will officially enter the eighth level.
Eighth level, this is a level that is hard to find an opponent in the mortal world!
Thinking of this, Link immediately nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, then go ahead! However, don't take out the Virgo Golden Saint Cloth unless you have to. We can't be noticed by the enemy yet.
After that, Ashmita set off lightly and disappeared without a trace shortly after leaving the sanctuary.
After Ashmita left, June arrived as scheduled. On June 10, news came that shocked the entire Star Kingdom. That was that the five surrounding countries formed an alliance and declared war on the Star Kingdom on the grounds of exterminating evil spirits.
Already.
The Five Kingdoms can be described as menacing. Their military strength alone is as high as 500,000, which frightens countless people. You must know that the total military strength of the Kingdom of Stars is only about 600,000, of which more than 400,000 must be stationed in various places.
Otherwise, the local lords' armies are difficult to mobilize. The total number of available troops Sylvanas has on hand is only a few hundred thousand.
But the 500,000 troops of the Five-Nation Alliance are real. They sent 100,000 troops from one country, intending to use their absolute strength to overwhelm the Kingdom of Stars.
Faced with this situation, many people panicked, and some people felt that the Kingdom of Stars had little chance of winning, and began to be cautious. The Five Kingdoms also took advantage of this and continued to show their goodwill to many forces in the Kingdom of Stars, saying that as long as these
If the forces do not help the Kingdom of Stars, they will give them preferential treatment and greater benefits after the war.
Among them, the Father God Sect, which is currently the most powerful outside the royal family, is the one that has attracted the most attention. All five countries have stated that as long as the Father God Sect is willing to help them, they will give them a higher status and greater benefits than they currently have.
.
Some countries even said that as long as Link is willing to surrender to their country, it would be okay to make Link a Duke.
For these countries, the value of Link and the Father God even surpasses the Kingdom of Stars itself. No country will refuse a ninth-level strongman to join. Even if this ninth-level strongman is disobedient, as long as he is willing to risk his country
The title of guardian can bring huge benefits to the country.
In fact, the Five Kingdoms are so diligent to appease Link and the Father God Cult. After all, Link is now the nominal guardian of the Kingdom of Stars. If Link takes action, even if the Five Kingdoms have a large army, it will be meaningless.
Even if he can't kill all those armies, he can still kill the kings of the five countries first. (To be continued...)
