After Douglas finished his speech, all the magicians present left silently but steadily in different directions, preparing to complete the tasks assigned to them. They were not excited, not fanatical, not inspired or incited, and some were just thinking calmly and rationally.
Afterwards, some choices made from the heart are just silent and determined actions.
We know what we want, and we know what price we will pay for it!
Douglas watched with a solemn expression as the magicians left in an orderly manner. He watched the legendary magicians such as "Lord of Deep Cold" and "Eye of the Curse" pass through the demiplane and rush back to their own organization and rush to the city they needed to reach. After a long time,
He sighed softly and said to Fernando and others beside him: "It's time for us to take action."
Fernando and others said nothing and followed Douglas deeper into the crypt.
In the early morning, the vigorous sun rises slowly, dispelling the darkness and bringing light.
At this time, on the plain near Rentat, the earth suddenly shook violently, and a huge roar came from the depths. The wild beasts were frightened and ran away from here.
Boom!
The earth collapsed into a black hole, with countless cracks spreading outward.
Terrifying magic waves erupted from the deep pit, and dazzling rays of light burst out, almost competing with the morning sun in the sky.
How could Cardinal Valentin, who was stationed in Rentate, not notice such a big movement? He immediately activated the entire magical defense array of Rentate, and then flew over with the cardinal and the giants of the Inquisition.
As a saint, he cannot hide in Rentat City in fear, not exploring anything, not dealing with anything, and allowing the magicians to plunder wildly!
Where the Cult of Truth occupies a dominant position, has such a thing ever happened?
And as long as he doesn't reach the legendary peak, he believes that his strength will definitely be enough to protect himself, even if there are more than three legendary magicians on the opposite side.
When flying towards the Lentat Plain, he also ordered a cardinal who stayed behind to order the noble knights to follow him and assist in the battle.
So, one by one, bishops and priests rushed to the various locations of the "Sword of Truth" Knights, the "Judgement" Knights, and the "Holy Cross" Knights, urging them to move forward.
"Over the years, the initiative of these nobles in fighting has become less and less. They are no longer as active as when the knights took action as soon as the incident occurred. This momentum must be rectified!" Similar thoughts emerged in the minds of the clergy,
Accompanied them and rushed outside the station.
"Start immediately and surround the plain!" A bishop sternly ordered the knights of the "Sword of Truth" Knights.
"Dark Blue Gift" Sharp was not here. "Pure Silver Punishment" Cesk stood up and said coldly: "His Majesty the King has an order that all knights must not leave the station before he gives permission!"
"What do you mean?" shouted the bishop angrily.
"Pure Silver Punishment" Cesk said expressionlessly: "That's what it means."
"Are you going to betray the Lord? You are colluding with magicians and corrupting yourself!" The bishop was completely out of anger. "You will be tried by the religious court and sent to the stake!"
Cesc waved his right hand, and a deep charred ditch was immediately plowed out in front of the bishop by streaks of silver lightning.
He stared into the bishop's eyes and said: "Say one more word and die; take a step forward and die."
"You!" The bishop was stunned, never expecting that a noble knight would dare to be so disrespectful to the Lord's servant and so full of murderous intent.
He looked around, trying to find a knight who could defend the Lord's dignity.
The long swords were pulled out one after another, shining with cold light in the sun. All the knights in the camp looked at the bishop with evil eyes.
These bastards, I have tolerated them for a long time!
The church is divided, let’s see if you still dare to be so arrogant!
The bishop was so frightened that he stepped back, unable to believe that this was the Kingdom of Holm bathed in divine grace.
In the Nexel Palace, the "Sword of Truth" Hoffenberg sat on the throne, looking far-reaching into the void in front of him. Illusory cracks appeared one after another, and the scene on the plain appeared vaguely.
Outside the main hall, the gathered Dukes, Earls and other nobles looked intently at the closed door, quietly waiting for the King's order. At this moment, they fulfilled their oath of knighthood and entrusted everything to their loyal lord.
Of course, if it hadn't been for the church's constant pressure and rampant hunting over the years, which had made them fearful day and night, they would never have been able to be so united at this time.
In the deep pit of the plain, the light became more and more dazzling, a majestic and terrifying pressure was released from it, and a huge city could be vaguely seen rising from below.
When Saint Valentin arrived here with the cardinals and the magnates of the Inquisition, he happened to see the city the size of a mountain rising beyond the horizon under the light.
"Floating City? Another magician is trying a floating city?" Valentin thought with slight surprise. Isn't this the floating city plan that has been repeatedly proven to fail during the Magic Empire?
"It's called Aline, which means 'city in the sky' in the language of Sylvanus." A deep voice sounded, and a magician in a majestic black robe appeared on the floating surface wrapped in light.
In front of the empty city.
"Douglas, Speaker of the Magic Council." Valentin was shocked as he recognized the identity of this magician.
In the past few decades, Douglas has taken action several times, saving many magicians, killing many clergymen and night watchmen, and is on the purification sequence list.
Douglas looked at them with emotion and solemn eyes, and a strange-looking astronomical instrument suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Star Heaven!"
The surroundings immediately became dark and boundless, with twinkling stars, trapping Valentin and others.
Except for Hoffenberg, there was no one in the main hall of Nexel Palace.
But he said leisurely: "Douglas is indeed amazingly powerful. He even wanted to kill Valentin by force at the same level."
"Hmph." In the void ahead, a cold snort suddenly sounded, coming from Pope Gregory, whom Hoffenberg was familiar with, and who was fighting the heresy on the northern front.
As the king of a large kingdom, he had a secret way of contacting the Pope.
The clergy who returned from the various Knights' stations were shocked, angry and frightened. After discussion, they decided to directly question King Hoffenberg to see if he dared to admit that he had betrayed the Lord!
At this moment, the holy light that shrouded the entire city suddenly converged, and everything returned to normal.
"what happened?"
"how so!"
The clergy looked at each other in confusion. The terrifying fluctuations outside continued. Why did the magical defense array suddenly disappear?
"It's Nexor Palace!"
"It's Hoffenberg!"
They suddenly woke up and understood what was going on. The divine defense array had two control cores, one in the cathedral and the other in the Nexa Palace!
"He, did he really turn to the magician?" the clergy thought in fear and astonishment.
Boom!
A loud noise broke out in the noble area near the Nexa Palace. The clergy looked over in horror and saw a magic tower rising from the ground, quickly taking shape under the effect of the spell!
This seems to have been prepared for a long time, otherwise the magic circle and so on would not have been completed so quickly!
Build a magic tower in the noble area?
The clergy felt the biting cold.
Boom!
A dark, pointed magic tower is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Zachary, the Holy Spirit priest of Cux, the capital of the Principality of Calais, can only hide in the cathedral with the defense array fully opened, watching with a mixture of shock, anger and fear.
Watching this scene, because he saw "Eternal Wind" Raymond and "Cursed Eye" Atlante standing together!
Boom!
In Salivar, the capital of the Kingdom of Buriana, in Kersvik, the capital of the Northland Coastal Corridor City Alliance, and in the capital of the Kingdom of Camelot, similar magic towers rise one after another, announcing the return of the magician to the world!
Some of the cardinals in these places (not legendary, because the center of gravity of the church is not here) were killed, and some were hiding in the cathedral, relying on the defensive support of the magical array, and asking for help from the church, but they were fighting
The church in the north was at full-scale war and could only mobilize a few legendaries at the same time, unable to form an advantage.
But the court of Cooks was filled with corpses.
No, the corpses got up again and followed Vicente.
He walked in the inquisition surrounded by the undead army, and saw the horrified "mad dog" in the "magistrate's" room.
"Vicente?" The previous massacre of the small town made him know that Vicente was not only alive, but also back for revenge.
Vicente looked at "Mad Dog" and the half-old man whose face was full of vicissitudes of life, and said coldly: "You are honored to be the first sacrifice to resurrect Shirley."
As he spoke, the "mad dog" raised his hands, pinched his neck, and screamed in pain, but could not say a word.
Then, his body began to stiffen, and Vicente put him in a strange coffin.
…………
Magicians entered Rentat one by one, looking at the towering magic tower, feeling inexplicably sad. The magic tower and themselves could finally appear in an upright manner!
On the plain, the vast starry sky disappeared, corpses fell one after another, only Douglas was floating in the air, and the floating city behind him began to rise rapidly!
"He is indeed a pervert with legendary peak combat power." Hoffenberg commented calmly.
In the void, Gregory's voice sounded again: "What do you need?"
At this time, he had to rely on the power of the nobles, so he spoke directly without euphemism.
"The church needs to reflect and understand its own boundaries." Hoffenberg said in a calm tone, as if he was discussing today's weather.
"Reflect? Understand your own boundaries?" Gregory's voice was a little angry.
"Yes." Hoffenberg did not flinch at all, and gently stroked the "Sword of Truth" beside him with his right hand.
…………
The floating city that looks like an inverted mountain peak is flying higher and higher. The buildings above have been completely repaired and all the cracks have disappeared.
Boom!
After blocking the predetermined position, light burst out and the floating city gently oscillated up and down.
The magicians near the plain and the magicians in Rentat City were all watching this scene intently, worried that it would fall.
The vibration stopped, and the huge city floated smoothly in the air. Magic lines lit up, patterns formed one by one, and mysterious locks appeared!
"Really, really flew..."
"This is the floating city..."
One by one, the magicians covered their mouths, fearing that they would burst into tears. The pioneering work that the Magic Empire had never completed was successful in this darkest era! And its "flight" also marked the end of the darkness for themselves and others.
Life like a mouse!
The future may be even more tragic, but it will definitely not lack light!
The clergy, nobles, and ordinary people all looked at this scene in stunned silence. Is the city in the sky the residence of the Lord? Why was it stolen by the magician?
Douglas floated in front of the floating city, used magic to amplify his voice, and solemnly declared:
"This is the headquarters of the Magic Council, 'City in the Sky' Aringe!"
It was simple and straightforward, but it made the magicians who heard it burst into tears.
