The seeker's safe return made the eldest mothers Tilsa and Jielong smile with relief. Lancela, who had always hated Aloy, still stared at her with a stern face.
"Aloy, we've already heard Sona say it."
Tilsa, who was relatively open-minded, held Aloy's hand kindly: "I can successfully complete my revenge this time, thanks to the information and assistance you provided."
Aloy shook his head and said: "It's not over yet. The culprit who attacked the trial ceremony has not been caught yet."
"His name is Sirius, the leader of the Eclipse Cult and the former military commander of the Kingdom of Calgar. Now he has become a traitor to the Kingdom of the Sun and is leading an army to attack his homeland."
"Sirius..."
Tilsa's expression became solemn: "I have heard of this name. During the war with Calgar, he was the most threatening general under the Mad King. He was very cruel to the enemy. His troops rarely stayed.
Take prisoners."
Jie Long caught the key words in Aloy's words, frowned and asked: "Aloy, you mean to say that Sirius betrayed the Kingdom of Calgar and is leading the rebels to fight against them?"
"Yes."
Aloy said seriously: "This is also the reason why I came back in a hurry."
After telling the Elder Mothers in detail about the crisis facing the world today, Aloy bit the bullet and made a request, hoping that the Nora tribe could send troops to Meridian City to help Calgar tide over the crisis.
"ha!"
When Tilsa and Jielong looked embarrassed, Lancera finally found an opportunity and jumped out as expected.
"Blasphemer, do you know what you are talking about?!"
Lancela pointed angrily at Aloy and shouted: "The territory of the Nora tribe is a holy land blessed by the mother of all things. Once you leave the holy land, it will be polluted by the outside world."
"This is a teaching passed down from generation to generation by the Nora people. No one has broken it for hundreds of years. You want to break the rules just based on your one-sided words?"
"Delusion!"
Tilsa waved her hand and said: "Lancera, please be polite to our pursuers. Aloy also has good intentions."
Sighing helplessly, Tilsa patted the back of Aloy's hand: "Unfortunately, the Nora tribe must follow the orders of the Mother of All Things. Even if the outside world is in chaos, we cannot leave the Holy Land rashly. Please...
…”
"Beep~"
Suddenly, a harsh tone came from the church, and the door of Cradle No. 9 began to flash red.
"ah!"
Including Lancela, the three eldest mothers knelt down to the door excitedly at the same time.
"The Mother of All Creations has appeared!"
Just as Aloy looked at the suddenly activated door in confusion, a soft female voice began to echo in the church.
"The Nora people obey orders."
The three eldest mothers pressed their heads tightly to the ground and responded in unison with their whole bodies trembling: "Yes! Please give me the order from the goddess!"
Aloy looked at the scene in front of him, resisted the urge to sigh, and rubbed his temples twitchingly with the corner of his mouth.
'Are you really planning to play this trick... Lu Xiao, I really belong to you.'
Aloy didn't recognize who this strange female voice came from, at least it was definitely not Yongzhen, but she knew with all her ass that this was definitely Lu Xiao's trick.
The job of disguising the artificial intelligence Gaia is of course performed by Aletheia, who makes a temporary cameo as the mother of all things of the Nora tribe with great interest.
"The crisis of world destruction is approaching, and all things are about to wither. Now is the time for the remaining believers to continue to stick to the rules."
"I have granted blessings to all Nora people. From now on, you no longer need to be trapped in the Holy Land and can freely walk around the world."
"Aloy is Yu's chosen spokesperson, and her instructions are Yu's will. Don't make any mistakes."
The sound coming from the gate ended here, but the three eldest mothers were still kneeling on the ground trembling, and Aloy could only help them up one by one.
"The mother of all things fell into deep sleep again, you..."
"Saint!"
Lancela, who had always been cold-hearted towards Aloy, knelt down in front of her with tears streaming down her face, banging her head on the ground.
"The old woman was blind and failed to recognize the identity of the Saint. Please forgive the ignorant Lancera!"
"Uh~ You don't have to do this."
Aloy was very uncomfortable with this kind of situation, and it took him a while to persuade Lancera to stand up again.
'Anyway, the result is pretty good.'
Rubbing his brows, Aloy gave instructions under Tilsa's encouraging gaze: "Since the Mother of All Things asked me to act on her behalf, then...Elder Mother Nora will obey her orders."
"exist!"
"Immediately call on the warriors in the clan to prepare for the expedition in the shortest possible time!"
"As you command!"
…
As soon as the news spread that Aloy was the designated saint of the Mother of All Things, the Nora tribe, which still followed their original beliefs, immediately exploded.
Resh and others, who had a bad attitude towards Aloy in the past, were hiding at home fearfully, fearing that the saint would take revenge on them.
Sona, a war leader with a tough personality, seldom convinced others, and Aloy was one of the few juniors she could like. She had no objection to Aloy becoming a saint.
Sona was still not relieved that her revenge could not be completely completed. When she learned that Aloy planned to gather the troops of the Nora tribe to rush to Meridian City for a decisive battle with Sirius, Sona without saying a word began to call for the soldiers of the tribe to assemble.
The population of the Nora tribe is not large, and they can only manage to gather more than a hundred young and strong warriors.
A small number of combat forces were arranged to stay in the Holy Land to maintain daily order. War leader Sona and Saint Aloy came out with the rest of the warriors.
The number of soldiers Shadow Calgar left behind at the border fortress was very small, and it could be said that they were on the verge of collapse.
When Aloy sneaked into the fortress and opened the fortress gate from the inside, the border fortress was breached without any resistance.
Aloy was left behind to lead the Nora tribe to Ziwu City. Lu Xiao and Yongzhen teleported back first. This trip to the Nora tribe took less than a day.
Due to Yavid's fine-tuning of Calgar's strategic goals and strengthening the counterattack against Shadow Calgar's regular army, the offensive and defensive situation between the two sides has been reversed recently.
At this moment, the Nora tribe suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind. Under the attack from both front and back, Shadow Calgar's Eastern Legion suffered a devastating blow.
The situation has progressed to this point, and even if all Shadow Calgar's soldiers are wiped out, it will not affect Sirius's thoughts.
The mechanical army continues to advance northwest of Ziwu City, and the symbolic defense lines along the way can only slightly slow down their advance.
Since he knew in advance that Hades' target was the obelisk, Lu Xiao immediately applied to Yavid after returning to the city and rushed to the high mountain where the obelisk is located with a small number of royal guards to garrison it.
Standing in front of the super-large signal tower called the Monument of the Sun by the Calgar people, Lu Xiao asked Aletheia in her head: "How is it? Can you find it?"
"no."
Aletheia said regretfully: "Due to the collapse of the Gaia system, the Minerva subroutine also dissipated. Now this tower is just a simple signal amplification device, and there is no crack that the Minerva subroutine should have.
