At this time, Li Huailin was still in the city of Guasolil, because he needed to pay more attention to the situation in Nokvis. The situation on the Continental Alliance's side was relatively simple. Currently, the southeast of the mainland was basically occupied by the Continental Alliance, so the undead troops didn't need to continue south. They could directly join the human troops in the north, then march along the east to the center.
As mentioned before, the Crewisson Continent had never been invaded by foreign enemies, so they had very little experience in fighting enemies. In fact, this was a very big weakness of the Sechtor monsters. Although their bodies were indeed very strong, because of the long-term isolation, their combat experience was far inferior to that of Li Huailin's continent. Under such circumstances, even Maccon and Soudeis could easily grasp the enemy's movements. Their march was relatively easy, and they didn't encounter any decent resistance.
On the other hand, Li Huailin also let Maccon and the others fight steadily. Every time they conquered a city, they would first set up a teleportation formation. This way, they could maintain contact at any time. If anything happened, Li Huailin could also adjust at any time. So far, the news that came back was relatively stable. This was mainly because the Korance Church on this side had not responded yet.
Li Huailin now also learned about the situation of the Korance Church from some of the captured captives. As the ruler of the mainland, the Korance Church controlled almost the most elite troops on the continent. Of course, their numbers were astonishing. Not many people knew exactly how many troops they had, but once they were deployed, it would definitely be enough to make them suffer. It was just that so far, neither side had encountered the church's troops. In theory, the church should have received the news long ago, but for some reason, there was no response.
Other than that, Li Huailin also learned some other things from the captives, but mainly the situation of the mainland and the Korance Church. These people basically didn't know about the Byakee that Li Huailin was concerned about, because their levels were too low. According to them, the church wouldn't tell them anything about Byakee. It was just that they were born on this continent, so they basically heard that Byakee was their god since birth. Over time, they had gotten used to it. As for what Byakee looked like, what it was, and what it was capable of, they didn't know anything. Simply put, it was just a symbol.
Li Huailin believed these words. In fact, as a ruler, there was no need to explain these things to his subordinates. So it seemed that if he wanted to know more about Byakee, he would have to capture the higher-ups of the church.
But now, Li Huailin was a little uncertain about the situation of the Korance Church. Because until now, they still hadn't responded. One had to know that Li Huailin had already caused a huge commotion. Not to mention the Continental Alliance's troops marching from the East, Nokvis's Church of Lovelive alone should be enough to make them anxious.
Now, the scale of Lovelive's Church had indeed begun to affect the entire southern continent. Just like Li Huailin had planned, Nokvis led the newly joined army of more than 20,000 soldiers to sweep through the southern continent. When they encountered larger cities, Li Huailin would cooperate with them and continue his act. When they encountered smaller cities, he would directly crush them. Now, the entire southern continent had already known about this new heretical force. After a few rounds of acting, Nokvis had also stabilized his position as the Oracle of God. This time, Li Huailin didn't use the method of massacring cities. Instead, he took the initiative to send out a propaganda team. After the propaganda, most of the southern cities already knew about the keywords Lovelive, Nokvis, and the Kingdom of Bailusos. In fact, some cities had already surrendered, which showed the effectiveness of the propaganda campaign.
Under such circumstances, the Korance Church actually didn't make any moves. This made Li Huailin feel strange. From his point of view, the Korance Church's actions had already shaken the foundation of the church. Yet, the church actually didn't do anything. This was really strange.
However, the church didn't make any moves. In fact, the ones who were more upset were Li Huailin's side. In fact, Li Huailin's favorite method of war was to control the enemy's actions and force them to make a move based on a series of reasonable assumptions. Then, Li Huailin would seize the enemy's weakness. He had already planned what to do if the enemy attacked the mainland alliance. What to do if the enemy directly attacked them. Now that the church didn't move, Li Huailin really didn't know what to do.
However, he believed that the church was also having a headache over the situation here. So, although they were anxious, the enemy would definitely make a move. Since they still didn't make a move, Li Huailin would make more noise and let them make a few moves. So, according to Li Huailin's plan, Nokvis began to attack cities further north. He pretended to attack Hildears and see if the enemy was in a hurry.
So this time, the target was Sosanlis. It was a city in the central south of the continent. In theory, it was already the gateway city from the southern continent to the central continent. If he was the church, of course, he would send reinforcements to guard the city and stop the southern rebel army from advancing. Of course, this was only in theory. So far, Li Huailin hadn't seen any of the church's main forces. He also didn't know if there were any troops from the church in Sosanlis because he hadn't received any information about the church yet. Basically, the captured captives weren't high-ranking members of the church. Although they wanted to expand their intelligence network, the situation on the continent was a bit complicated. Moreover, they didn't have much time, so they didn't have much information. Li Huailin could only take it one step at a time.
However, there was definitely nothing wrong with attacking. If the church didn't send reinforcements, they could take down the city. If they sent reinforcements, it would be good too. At least, Li Huailin knew that the church had begun to move. This was also good news for him, so this attack should be profitable.
So now, Nokves, who was more obedient to Li Huailin, agreed to attack and set off with his troops. Yes, Nokves understood very well. Although he now had troops and logistical supplies, his "divine power" was created by Li Huailin. If an oracle lost his divine power, it would be more troublesome. So now, he was more obedient to Li Huailin and still followed Li Huailin's instructions.
Currently, Nokves' troops were very scary. In terms of numbers, there were already more than a hundred thousand troops. Of course, most of these troops weren't regular troops. They were just ordinary militias. Not to mention training and the like, they didn't even have enough weapons to distribute. However, they won in terms of numbers and faith. That's right, these troops basically treated Nokves as an oracle, so they fought without any regard for their lives. Although it was very chaotic, they still had a lot of people.
This time, Nokves brought a total of fifty thousand troops to attack Sossanlis. Among them, the main force, the surrendered city guards, were basically all there. The rest of the troops continued to sweep through the small cities in the south. These fifty thousand people were now Nokves' main force. They were fully equipped and had sufficient logistical support.
Seeing the dense army below the city, the defenders of Sossanlis were very nervous. The enemy's troops looked very powerful. Just the number of people was enough to scare people to death. The only troops he could see in the front were the city guards, so they stood neatly and looked like a very powerful army. As for the militias at the back, they couldn't see them clearly. Looking at the troops in front, they thought that the rebels were all soldiers of this level. Of course, they were panicking.
The church still hadn't sent any reinforcements. Although Sossanlis had already sent people to contact the church, there was still no response from the church so far. How could they defend against an army of fifty thousand? They couldn't win in the first place.
On the other side, Nokvis began to 'dance' again. Yes, he used the same routine as before. First, he showed off his invulnerability. Then, he showed off his ability to kill people from a distance. The effect of this two-pronged attack was amazing. By now, Nokves had already put on a few performances. He already knew how to cooperate with Li Huailin. He was also very good at showing off. Soon, people began to think that he really had "divine power".
Facing an army of 50,000 soldiers, the people in the city were already panicking. Now that the enemy's leader seemed to be blessed by the Great God, there was nothing more to say. Thus, the soldiers in the city came up with a plan. Since the Church didn't care about them, they might as well rebel.
Soon, Sossanlis was peacefully liberated. The city lord came out of the city and surrendered, saying that he had converted to the Church of Lovelive and was willing to help rebuild the Kingdom of Bylusos. Of course, Nokvis also expressed his willingness to accept the city lord's allegiance. Just like that, Sossanlis was taken.
"That's strange. They didn't even defend the city?" After entering the city, Li Huailin was even more puzzled. This was the gateway city to the central continent. The church still hadn't made any moves. What was going on? Such calm behavior made Li Huailin think that the enemy had something to rely on. But as for what that something was, Li Huailin didn't know. It was a headache.
"Your Majesty." Suddenly, a soldier came to report. "We found a strange slave in the city. He said that he has important information about the church. He wants to tell the leader here, Nokves. Nokves asked His Majesty what to do. "
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned.
