Every day, the situation on the mainland becomes more and more chaotic. The undead, demons and other extradimensional races will bring us a series of bad news every day.
However, the Holy Church has become more and more active, and its "tentacles" cardinals have been sent out to show their presence on the battlefields of various countries. Of course, everyone needs free medical services and combat support, but war
Let's forget about the "reinforcements" that seize our own military power and sovereignty under the banner of support.
I know that this is a promise made by the Lord of Holy Light. The cardinal who has done the most good deeds will become a candidate for the next pope and can also obtain eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Although these temptations make these old guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death
We all took action, but sometimes blind action is worse than doing nothing.
In "history", those guys relied on the reputation of the Holy Church and the universality of the Holy Light faith in this plane, and brought their trusted followers and guards to various war zones, and then quickly seized the command, and then they casually
for.
That kind of self-aware minority will be thankful if they don't mess around with their command. At most, they will take away all the merits and take the blame. But most of them are people who have never gone to military academies or read military books, but think that their own
Reincarnated as a military man, he grabs command when he comes up and makes unbelievable decisions, giving up the battles he won easily.
"...the defeat of Shisauer who left the fortified fortress to ambush the undead army in the wild."
"... led the powerful armies of the four major knights to rush into the Amur catastrophe of 1,400 miles, entering and exiting the demon's territory several times, but did not prepare any backup."
"He led the Holy Light Religion to open the city gates to intercept the orc army, angrily denounced the evil orcs on the spot, and preached to them. He hoped that the other party would convert to the Holy Light. However, he was killed by the other party and directly massacred the city. Finn's tragedy."
The names on this "history" are not the location of the defeat, but the names of the cardinals and archbishops who did these stupid things. They achieved "eternity" in another way... They have indeed left their names in history.
Of course, the various human countries that had paid enough tuition finally broke up with each other. They could not refuse openly, but could find excuses to excuse them. They began to reject the interference of the Templar Church, either explicitly or covertly, and in the end they directly broke up and became stubborn.
As failures accumulated over and over again, the prestige of the Holy Church was severely damaged, but the initial painful lessons were irreversible.
Now, it is much better than in "history". The Holy Church is not as omnipotent as it used to be. Even those cardinals know that times have changed and will be a little more restrained. There will probably be fewer such "man-made disasters".
Yes, there will definitely still be "man-made disasters", and the bishops who long for "eternity" and the "Supreme Pope" throne will definitely not be willing to remain silent. They will do something, even if they are rejected by some countries. But there is always faith in the Holy Light.
Strong areas, the kingdom will be accepted.
Overall, the situation is much better than "history".
The biggest difference is probably that there has not been a counterattack by the underground forces, nor has it experienced a cruel human civil war. The consumption of the elemental war is also within the acceptable range, and everyone is happy. The Holy Church has lost its supreme authority, and even more so.
It is the happiest reality.
But there are good and bad. Although Cynthia was eliminated, the tragic ending of total destruction was avoided from the beginning, and the cycle of jihad was broken from another level. Without the control of the abyss' will, the most terrifying thing will probably erupt.
The power of.
Of course, I have done everything I can, and things have gone much better than expected to this point. This world does not belong to me personally. I still believe in the tenacity of humans, elves, orcs and other races, and believe that they can survive.
Survive the catastrophe... Even if I don't believe it, I can't do anything. The world is too big. Facing the war in the entire world, no one can do everything.
I farmed monsters on the battlefield during the day and supplemented my magic knowledge at night. Although the improvement was obvious, I was still unable to break through the bottleneck. What made me a little happy was that an old acquaintance came to my door.
"Diana, Victoria, long time no see...Momo, long time no see."
The people who appeared in front of me were none other than the current high-ranking members of the Dark Elves, Victoria, the highest priest who held religious power, and Diana, who held military power. They were all old acquaintances of mine.
In a sense, their arrival is natural. With the progress of the reconstruction of the Elf Empire, the dark elves, as the four high-ranking elves, must make certain expressions and communication, instead of looking for busy clones.
Queen, it's better to find the lazy cat above me and myself.
If you only look at the appearance, the three of them are almost unchanged from before. After all, seven or eight years was only a short time ago for the dark elves, but the temperament of the three has changed tremendously.
Victoria's appearance is still astonishing and radiant, but the fragility of the past has disappeared without a trace, her face is calm, the pale white sacrificial robe looks simple and simple, but the divine power on it is extremely terrifying, her appearance is still handsome and quiet,
There is a moving power in her beautiful eyes. As the de facto controller of the dark elves, she feels more and more like a mistress.
Diana is much calmer than before. Her long hair is tied into a single ponytail. Although there is obvious joy on her face, she is not too excited. A slight nod when she sees me is enough. The black armor is the most simple template.
The adamantine heavy sword was not even enchanted. As the mentor of all anti-paladins, her arrival caused the surrounding elemental tide to naturally drop.
Momo... Ahem, let's get down to business. I definitely don't know that this dark elf who is staring at me and shouting "Harvest Season" and "Her Highness Renee is good, and the mature version is also good" can be a qualified knight.
I'm afraid, no matter inside or outside, she has changed the least, and the past few years have left no trace on her body at all.
When we meet acquaintances, we naturally talk about the past and the future. Although I was a subordinate in the past, now I can be considered as an unofficial person, and I don’t need to speak in an official voice or put on a dignified face.
The dark elves don't have any mission, they just come to catch up with old times and prepare for the establishment of the elf empire.
And from their mouths, I also learned that the current situation of the underground forces is really good. Under the control of the four underground overlords, more and more underground residents have successfully moved to the North. But what makes people a little helpless is that
No matter how much they expected to see the world of sunshine and ocean, and how certain they were, at least 70% of the residents applied to return to the underground world in the second year.
"The sky is so scary. I feel like I will fall into the sky at any time."
"This wind is so terrible, it smells like dozens of other races and monsters, and I don't feel safe at all.
"It's so cold, but the underground world is warmer."
There were a lot of strange reasons. In the end, it was good for three people to move and settle in one place. However, with the repeated movements, the underground people deeply understood the reality. The legendary above-ground world was not as beautiful as imagined.
The world may not be that bad, and the number of applications for relocation has begun to drop sharply.
Of course, the other side of the reduction in migration numbers in the underground world is that a few underground overlords are really doing a good job.
At that time, no one expected to follow the underground covenant for a long time. With the gradual integration of dark elves, humans, orcs, and dragons, it also became the cornerstone of the new era. The ore trade brought sufficient resources, and the universalization of the Church of Law
To make society more stable, to have enough food and clothing and not to commit crimes, this boiling place of exile has actually begun to cool down.
The complete alliance of the four overlords and the constant patrolling dragon in the sky have made the careerists curb their ambitions. Those who dare to challenge the entire new underground order are either self-righteous fools or fools eager to die.
The increasingly peaceful underground world is naturally more suitable for the indigenous people here to live and work in peace and contentment. Trade has brought a large number of above-ground commodities, but the specialties of the underground world can be sold at high prices. It seems better to stay in the underground world than to move there, and be your own.
When life is obviously getting better and better, people will not consider moving out.
Among the four underground tribes, the underground orcs have moved the most to the Orc Plains. After all, there are their kindred tribes there. The dragon tribe lacks a sense of presence as always due to its small number. The dark elves who have abandoned Lolth's faith must live in peace with other races and even
Mixed living, although it still needs a period of adjustment, at least the two parties will not fight each other when they meet. Of course, one of the main reasons is that the dark elf society has gradually abandoned slavery.
But the busiest mess is still the human beings in the underground world.
They are originally the largest force in the underground world. The largest number of underground cities brings a huge population. Unlike other relatively unified races, the human city lords in the underground cities are similar to the lords on the ground. They are only responsible for themselves and have become accustomed to it.
After the division and enfeoffment of the dungeon life, the past overlords can only be regarded as a sign of respect.
It can be said that Annie, the human underground overlord, is the hardest working person. She is exhausted just to adjust the conflicts between her dungeon and other dungeons.
I frowned. This is indeed difficult to deal with. As a city in Sulfur Mountain, it is not easy to overpower other city lords. Human lords are used to enfeoffment. A powerful dictatorship will arouse the opposition of all lords. If Anne didn't have enough backing,
It's so hard, I'm afraid she won't be able to sit firmly in her seat.
"It seems that we need to find an opportunity to kick that boy Adam out and take some responsibility. He has had enough of wandering around outside, and the vacation should be over."
"Roland! We are back!"
This person really came at the mention of someone. Adam actually came back first, and before he came in, the voice came out.
"Hey. What is this little red bottle? A potion with the same color as my hair? I happen to be thirsty, can I drink it?" (To be continued.)
