The city lord continued the broadcast formed by magic and explained to the citizens the purpose of the Visa envoy's visit, asking everyone not to panic, not to lose control, and not to attack rashly or get close to the aerostat.
Of course, he did not forget to dump the blame first, emphasizing that this was the arrangement of the second prince of the empire, Ross, and that he was only following orders.
At the same time, he also warned everyone to be careful and to report anything abnormal to the Sheriff and the sect as soon as possible.
Finally, he repeatedly emphasized an important stipulation:
"Finally, I have to reiterate again:
Don't feed the Visayans!
Don't feed the Visayans!
Don't feed the Visayans!
Important things have been repeated three times, please cooperate!"
The reason why I emphasize this at the end is because this farce has happened several times before.
First, the orc envoys came to visit, and the citizens warmly welcomed them, crowded around and kindly fed them bones, dried fish and other food.
The orc envoy was furious on the spot, and it took a lot of effort from the city lord to calm him down.
Therefore, orcs are a rare species in the city.
Then the elf envoys came to visit, and the citizens warmly welcomed them, watched vigorously, and kindly fed wild fruits, vegetables and other food.
The elf envoy said nothing, turned around and left, and from now on, he never officially visited the Innocence City again.
Therefore, urban elves are a rare species.
Then the caveman envoys came to visit. The citizens warmly welcomed them, watched vigorously, and kindly fed them biscuits, cakes and other food.
The caveman envoy was very moved and praised the simple and warm folk customs of the Innocence City, and expressed that the two sides would carry out more in-depth cooperation in the future.
So cavemen are a very common species in the city.
It can be seen that the citizens here are indeed very wealthy and hospitable, so they have developed such a custom.
It's a pity that the city lord has repeatedly refused to feed food this time, otherwise the citizens would definitely bring out a lot of good things to entertain the guests from afar.
When Gallo heard what the city lord said, he was a little embarrassed.
He originally planned to ride on Lilian Luo, and then ask the Great Elder and others for help to directly shoot down the aerostat.
But what the city lord said made him quite embarrassed...
Mainly since it was daytime again, he had to follow the teachings and play the role of the polite, amiable, law-abiding, elegant, easy-going and obedient priest.
If these aerostats had been discovered last night, things would have been much simpler.
At the moment, Gallo hesitated between violating the doctrine and eliminating the danger in advance. In the end, he decided to wait and see for the time being and not to be impulsive.
Maybe the old bishop can find a way to get the best of both worlds?
Just at this moment, Lilianluo, who was being hugged and rubbed in his arms, also woke up, and immediately said in a soft and soft tone:
"Gallo... rub~ rub~"
"Okay, wake up quickly, we are very busy today."
Gallo said quickly.
-------------
On the largest and most luxurious aerostat of the Visa mission, a group of senior Visa officials wearing black cloaks were gathering together.
Their eyes were all focused on the pale and weak Prince Rhodes, but they said nothing. However, everyone's face was full of worries, as if they were hesitant about their choice.
However, Prince Rhodes, who was surrounded by a large group of powerful Visayas, was not embarrassed or embarrassed at all. Instead, he lay on a soft sofa with a swagger and said feebly:
"Now that things have happened, this God-given opportunity is right in front of you. Why do you have any hesitation?"
"If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to get your hands on the Innocence City!"
At the end, he sarcastically said without mercy:
"Haha, they are really a bunch of old stubborns who become more and more timid as they live."
One of the old men retorted rather unhappily:
"If I remember correctly, your Excellency should be older than us, right?"
Prince Ross smiled disdainfully:
"It is true, but my heart will always remain passionate and young, just like me a hundred years ago!"
"If it were up to me to make the decision today, I would launch an attack without hesitation."
An old man next to him sneered twice and asked:
"Haha, I thought you should know why we are hesitating?"
"Isn't it just because of me?"
Prince Ross admitted openly and tried to sit up straight, but he really didn't have the strength, so he could only lie softly on the sofa.
He couldn't help but sarcastically said again:
"Your healing magic is really poor. This level is really unflattering."
The old man snorted coldly and said unkindly:
"I thought you should be somewhat self-aware."
Prince Ross put away the sarcastic expression on his face and said seriously:
"Of course! The first thing I learned in this long life is to face myself!"
"Face my strength, face my weakness, face my desires..."
"But among you, who has ever looked at me squarely?"
"Even now, you still refuse to believe me, and you are even reluctant to treat this frail doll."
The old man smiled and said sarcastically:
"Just understand it yourself."
The reason why these senior officials do not believe in Prince Rhodes is because he is no longer the real prince, but has become a puppet of the traitor Jin.
The traitor has such a "glorious" history that no normal person dares to believe him easily.
What's more, he committed the crime to please Eas, the evil god of lies and desire...
In fact, it has been almost a hundred years since Traitor King fled to the Visa Theocracy and settled there. During this period, he has done a lot of things for the Visa Theocracy, and has shown his loyalty in various ways, even willing to be restrained and monitored.
From beginning to end, he failed to gain the true trust of the cult.
But the cult did not execute him, but kept him in captivity, hoping to take advantage of his power and identity.
But the traitor was obedient and did a lot of work for the Visa Order, and even came up with the plan in front of him to capture the Innocence City.
This plan is a huge and thorough plan, from the very beginning of guiding the god Easi to descend, to awakening the remains of the evil god Agares, to secretly supporting the Morning Star Sect, etc.
According to the original plan, the divine descending of Eas will destroy the Wall of Sighs in the Sinless City and bring out the real trump card in the city, the Guardian Angel.
The subsequent attacks by Agares and Star God were all aimed at weakening the combat power of this guardian angel.
The final blow was the fatal blow from the Visa mission!
In this process, the power of the Orthodox Church in the city will continue to be greatly weakened. At the same time, the gap between the imperial family and the Orthodox Church will continue to increase because of the Morning Star Sect, causing the city to lose the powerful figure of the Empire.
aid.
Although there were some surprises in the progress of this plan, the overall progress was smooth and many of the set goals were achieved.
The Wall of Sighs has indeed been damaged and is still being repaired; the strength of the orthodox religious groups has indeed been weakened, with heavy casualties and many sects even withdrawing from the City of Innocence...
The gap between the empire and the Orthodox Church has indeed increased, especially the conflict between the two demigods of the empire and the Orthodox Church. If a war breaks out now, it will be difficult for the Innocence City to get support from the demigods in the first place.
.
It's a bit regretful that I still haven't figured out the status of the angel.
However, based on the Visa Order's own experience, it is speculated that after appearing twice in a short period of time and defeating two powerful enemies, the angel's condition cannot be very good.
And even if his strength is intact, as long as he can get rid of the interference of other factors, his side still has a great chance of winning, he has more cards than his opponent, and he is more prepared!
As for why they are still hesitant until now, it is mainly because there have been some changes and deviations in the originally formulated plan.
According to the original plan, they anticipated the empire's reaction and most likely would not allow their side to enter the city, but they would not quarrel with each other. They would send a high-ranking and powerful representative to negotiate.
At that time, the traitor can use his strange magic to control the representative and make him a mole, allowing the aerospace craft to approach safely without interference.
This is also the most cunning part of the whole plan. They don't need to enter the heavily guarded city of innocence, they just need to let the aerospace boat reach the location.
But considering the slow maneuverability of the aerospace craft, it is too easy to be destroyed, so it is more stable to have an insider help secretly.
But Prince Rhodes, the conspirator's designated candidate, was controlled by the traitor before he could even come over to negotiate, and completed the planned steps ahead of schedule.
Because he was seriously injured inexplicably and was discovered by the people of the supplicant school of thought, and then they found the traitor's puppet...
Such a change is excellent in itself and can greatly speed up the progress of the plan, but it also brings a kind of worry to Visa's senior officials, "Why is it such a coincidence?"
This prince happened to meet an extremely powerful person, and even a magical costume and two powerful bodyguards failed to protect him.
By chance, he was beaten to the point where his life was hanging by a thread. He lost resistance and ran to seek shelter from the School of Prayer.
What if he was discovered by the traitor by chance and successfully succeeded?
If someone else had brought the good news, they might have shouted, "Good luck! Destiny is mine!" and then rolled up their sleeves and got on board.
But this thing was caused by the traitor...
This actually made Visa's senior executives suspicious. Even if Prince Rhodes told the truth, they did not dare to act rashly.
But there was not much time left for them. Thirteen aerostats had already arrived at the designated position. If they went any further, they would enter the air defense circle of the Innocence City and miss the best position.
At this time, the old man, who had been guarded in the middle by several Visa senior officials, but had kept his eyes closed and said nothing, finally had some reaction.
He suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a strong aura that made people want to kneel down and worship.
He then said in that cold, heavy, condescending tone:
"The time has come, take action!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Prince Ross on the sofa, and then added:
"Keep an eye on this guy, whether it's his body or those puppets."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Following his order, the airship suddenly became agitated. This beast that had been dormant for a long time was finally about to pounce on the prey it had coveted for a long time.
In addition to the personnel responsible for guarding Prince Rhodes, other senior Visa officials also took their positions. With the old man called "His Crown" as the center, they formed a shape similar to wings, and then knelt down towards the old man.
Started to pray quietly.
The aerostats in the sky changed their directions one after another and no longer floated towards the landing point designated by the city lord. Instead, they quickly climbed up and flew to the designated area higher up, gradually forming the same wing shape.
The ultimate plan of the Visa Theocracy is to launch an 'angel's arrival' very close to the Innocence City!
Vesa, the god in charge of darkness and dreams, did not enter the kingdom of the righteous god, nor did he stop responding to believers like other gods.
Occasionally, He would still send down oracles and accept sacrifices.
The current plan was only implemented with His tacit approval.
He even cooperated very well by sending down divine light, covering the wasteland of ruins, and creating that fatal trap.
This shows His desire for a sinless city.
So at this moment, sending an angel down to help in the battle has a high probability of success.
The angel's descending ceremony is much simpler than the divine descending, and it is less susceptible to interference. At the same time, it is relatively controllable and will not accidentally damage one's own side. It is a more suitable decisive battle weapon than other evil gods, star gods, and even Visa himself.
If nothing else happens, the one in the lower realm will be Elliot, the chief archangel under Visa.
This is a powerful angel who was famous during the period of the melee between gods. His honorable name can be found in some incomplete history books, and he is famous for his fierce fighting power.
There is this angel sitting in charge, but the angel opposite appears twice in succession and is in poor condition.
Coupled with the assistance of the Prayer School and the high-level combat power of our own family.
The Visa Theocracy has an advantage!
Prince Rhodes was lying aside, watching this scene, with a strange smile on his face, and whispered to himself:
"Come on, Gallo..."
Those aerostats quickly climbed to a suitable location and fired colorful signal flares one after another to notify the people of the Prayer School.
Archmage Anthony in the mage tower outside the city quickly polished a mirror in his hand and said respectfully:
"Sir, the operation has begun."
The mirror immediately shattered, and the scattered glass fragments fell to the ground, but they cleverly formed a magic circle.
An aura so powerful that it nearly suffocated Anthony emerged from the magic circle, and he began to observe the situation, waiting for a fighting opportunity.
As for the Innocence City, the city lord was still busy dealing with the old bishop and Bishop Yeck, trying his best to explain that this order was issued by Prince Rhodes and that he did not know about it.
But when they noticed the strange movements of the aerospace boats in the sky, the expressions of the three of them changed.
"The enemy is attacking! Hurry! Sound the alarm, activate the Wall of Sighs, and prepare to fight!"
