After careful consideration, Aivas decided to inform the Moon Sons of his plan to rebuild the Herasl Empire.
He originally wanted to keep it a secret - after all, Aiwass had to trick the Children of the Moon into coming to help him fight against the demons.
If their motives were really exposed at this time, those Children of the Moon who were eager to revive the Herasl Empire might in turn stop Aiwass.
But after thinking about it carefully, Aiwass found that the fact was most likely just the opposite——
It is precisely because he wants to rebuild the Herasl Empire that the Moon Sons must come to help him.
The Sons of the Moon have always dreamed of having a country that belongs to them, but it is obvious that they cannot obtain legal principles. As a parasitic race of humans and derivatives of humans, they cannot be the descendants of any human royal family. The only country that belongs to them
, which is the Narcissus Principality after the Earth-Splitting War.
However, another problem arises - are the direct descendants of Narcissus still alive? They cannot directly snatch power from the little girl; and they dare not kill her because it means that the royal family truly belongs to the Son of the Moon.
Completely cut off.
Even if someone like Queen Louise reaches the pinnacle of power, it is impossible to convince the public and can only become a "stealer of power."
Of course, if the power is strong enough... like the Eternal Pope can overwhelm everything, there is no need to worry about these things.
However, the problem is that they are not strong enough. And their weaknesses have long been known to everyone.
The strongest among the Children of the Moon was the first-generation Red Prime Minister, but even he had been killed by humans. The reason why these Children of the Moon are difficult to deal with is because they have climbed to the top of each political system.
Even Aiwass understands this - the Son of the Moon is essentially a political creature. Various political interests form a complex chain. If the Son of the Moon is to be eliminated, everyone and all factions will be forced to lose interests. In
In this case, no one wants to become weak first - because that means he may be defeated by his other enemies.
Through this mutual check and balance, the Moon Child cannot be simply eliminated. These resistances all come from within and will be easily dismantled by the Moon Child who is good at socializing... Not to mention, the "eternal life" provided by the Moon Child is for many elderly people
It's all a fatal temptation.
But if the Children of the Moon gathered together in one place and established a pure country of the Children of the Moon...then they would be defeated by other human kingdoms in an instant.
——You know, the son of the moon is full of treasures!
Great supplement!
Because of this, the Children of the Moon are caught in a strange paradox - if they want to establish a country, they cannot only establish their own country. They must prevent neighboring countries from sending troops to attack them, or they must win when they attack them.
No... with the Moon Children's sparse population, which should never become too large, it is impossible for them to defeat humans on a frontal battlefield.
Although the children of the moon spread quickly, there is actually an internal limit on the number. Because the children of the moon also know that... the children of the moon will combine with each other to give birth to new children of the moon, and humans may also transform into children of the moon, and the children of the moon will not be natural.
Die. In this case, once the number of Moon Children exceeds a certain level, the human population may collapse instantly.
Nature has already given proof.
Therefore, the number of Children of the Moon is strictly controlled. This is why they always want to penetrate into the upper class society and have a "strange arrogance" - after all, society is pyramid-shaped. If the population is limited, they must try to control the upper class in order to indirectly
Control the entire country.
In the situation of "a frontal war is bound to be lost", they need to choose another way.
That is to unify the human empire first, thereby transforming the "external problems" that they are not good at solving into "internal problems" that they are good at solving.
——So judging from the demands of the Children of the Moon, "rebuilding Hrasl" is necessary, but "who will rebuild Hrasl" is not important. They are obviously unable to fight against the Fallen Division, and in
The establishment of a country at this time will also lead to human resistance...
So it would be the best choice for the Moon Child to have the Pope who shows goodwill to them pull the strings to reorganize Herasl and let the Pope's "gentle and weak" sister be the queen!
Although there is not much information about Yulia, it is still easy for the Children of the Moon who have infiltrated the intelligence agencies of various countries to get it.
——She has been an orphan since she was a child, and was once the egg of a phantom demon. She has a cowardly and autistic personality, relies heavily on her brother Aiwass, is taciturn, and is not good at communicating with others... And now she is only at the third level, and is even one of the easiest
The balancer of compromise. And her second path adaptability is a notoriously weak adaptor.
There is no better puppet queen than this!
Therefore, when Aiwass sent the Pope's guards to deliver his letter to the Moon Children of various factions, they quickly gave a rather loyal response:
——They will always be an important part of the Herasl Empire! Therefore, they will rebuild the Herasl Empire and send legions as requested by the Pope!
Even that amount is far more than Aiwass asked them!
Much more!
Because now they are no longer "forced by the Pope to send their compatriots", but "want to earn military exploits and occupy high positions in the New Herasl Empire".
For this purpose, Fallen Sky Si had to kill!
——So what if it’s Tiansi? In the material world, even Tiansi has to be stuck at the sixth energy level!
The scene where the Sons of the Moon in Star Antimony were forced to fall, or were hunted down by demons, has been known to all the Sons of the Moon. The Fallen Heaven Division is quite afraid of these Sons of the Moon who restrain the demons... If the Fallen Heaven Division is not eliminated, they will all die.
.
It just so happens that the Theocratic State takes the lead in dealing with the most troublesome Fallen Division, this opportunity cannot be missed!
Just in time, let them see how powerful the sixth energy level is!
A few days have passed since the message was sent.
April 30th, Avalon.
It is night now.
Various countries - to be precise, the legions sent by various countries controlled by the Moon Sons have begun to land in Avalon and assemble.
Avalon's western port area, which had just been built previously, came in handy at this time!
Even the goblins did not expect that the first batch of residents other than workers in the dense residential area they built would actually be foreign legions——
"The Iris Kingdom dispatched the Iris Second and Third Legions, a total of 40,000 people. In addition to the 35,000 auxiliary troops, there are a total of 5,000 third-level extraordinary beings and 300 artillery pieces.
Sixteen mobile ritual positions and three hundred mages. In addition, they also dispatched 300 third-level Moon Son legions, plus twelve fourth-level Moon Sons.
"The Principality of Black Hawk has dispatched the Raven Legion, Kestrel Legion, and Black Hawk Legion, a total of 120,000 people, all of whom are extraordinary, but 60% of them are second-level ones, but there are also core combat forces of the fourth-level ones.
Sixty people...Oh my god, is the Black Eagle Principality so powerful?"
——The number of fourth-level extraordinary beings sent out in this wave alone is almost more than that of Avalon!
As expected, they are pretending to be fighting with the Narcissus Principality!
Aiwass exclaimed and continued to look down: "There are twelve rune colossi... Where did they get the alchemists? Do I have to find some alchemists to drive them... Well, there are five more
Thousands of armed gargoyles and four hundred and twenty 'stakes'..."
"Five hundred third-level Moon Children legions were dispatched! And there were also fifty fourth-level Moon Children!!"
...It turns out that Black Eagle has hidden so much power quietly!
But it is reasonable, the Black Hawks are the main force of Star Antimony after all.
Behind Xing Antimony are all the spellcasters. After they became independent, Xing Antimony no longer has an "army" in the true sense.
But if you compare it like this, there are too few people from Iris...or is it that there are too many Black Hawks?
"...I think it's to show off my muscles."
Aiwass understood.
Because the Black Hawk Principality was defeated in the "fake fight" when it became independent not long ago.
Now that they are independent, they are eager to prove that the Black Hawk Principality is not a weak country. This time it can be used as a "performance". They even sent out their ace army, the Black Hawk Legion. It can be said that the whole country was mobilized——
During the previous civil war, we were definitely not this capable of fighting!
——Anyway, for professional mercenaries like them, war is also a kind of performance.
"The Principality of Narcissus did not send any legions, um, that's reasonable... but they did send 1,500 second- and third-level mages, and 21 archmages. Hmm..."
Aiwass pondered for a moment.
Forget it, we can't ask too much of the mages.
...Are these mages all apprentices who have not graduated yet?
Aiwass seemed to see it. The Mage Tower forced the mages to undergo an internship. The content of the internship was to go abroad to fight against the demon army...
"Their Children of the Moon...there are only one hundred and four people here in total? Oh, they are all fourth-level spellcasters, so that's okay..."
Aiwass looked at the Inspectorate's report with a subtle expression.
In the Narcissus Principality... all the high-level mages have become children of the moon, right? And why are there so many of these research madmen?
If there are so many people...it is impossible to live in the ziggurat alone.
Originally, Aiwass thought that it would be enough if they could send 500 people in total, and he would just arrange for them to live in the ziggurat.
Now it seems that Aiwass has to shoot a few more shots of Paradise Light.
But with these people... coupled with a legion of paladins and three regiments of priests from the Theocracy, it always feels like...
...This seems to be no longer as simple as "withstanding the demon army, distracting attention and buying time."
It's been less than a month since Fallen Heaven Secretary arrived, and his demon level is not yet high enough.
The combat effectiveness of these legions is already more than three times that of the coalition forces that conquered the Fallen Division in the original history - after all, the purpose this time is no longer to "conquer the Fallen Division", but to "rebuild the Herasl Empire."
Aiwass even felt that with the "Herasl Alliance"... they seemed to be able to defeat those demons!
"This is great. If there is a balance of power or even an advantage, the casualties should not be as serious as before..."
Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief and felt confident.
In the game plot, in order to gain the 30 minutes for the player to fight alone with the Fallen Sky Division, these legions need to continue to attack in a disadvantaged state - this caused them to almost suffer casualties, and the Theocracy's foundation was wiped out in one wave.
Quite a few.
Since someone can solve Qing Za, what Aiwass needs to prepare now is to face the core combat power of Fallen Sky Division.
However, the specific list of recruits... should be decided tomorrow.
Because today is the 30th, the night of the new moon.
Tonight happens to be the day of promotion...
"……Um?"
——At this moment, Aiwass suddenly felt a strange feeling.
A strange, familiar yet unfamiliar feeling of intoxication injected into his heart and spleen.
That was a power that was quite unfamiliar to Aiwass, and his system was silent.
The next moment, all the liquid in the room turned into white mist, and a stream of steam even emerged from the pond in the yard, rising straight into the night sky, even covering the crescent moon for a time.
The moist air contains a lot of power of the road, and it seems that the whole world has become hazy...
——Under the illumination of the night light, the whole world seems like a dream.
Just by breathing this air, Aiwass felt that his strength had been improved.
There is no doubt about it...this is a vision!
A new Tiansi has been promoted!
——Besides, what other power can affect Aiwass, who is already at the fifth energy level?
Aiwass is no longer the pope, so he cannot be notified directly... nor can he know who will be promoted immediately before the end of the vision.
In the original history, there was no promotion of this Tiansi during this time period!
"...Variable?"
Aiwass whispered softly.
...but for some reason, Aiwass felt that familiarity getting stronger.
——It’s not an illusion, he has definitely come into contact with this new Tiansi!
