【Roland Sacred Sword: As the weight on this Sword of the King increases, it is evolving into a true God Equipment. When it awakens, you will obtain the first true God Equipment.】
【Nation Armament Special Effect: As long as the country exists, the sword will not be destroyed. When the country is destroyed, the sword will perish by itself. You can use it to clash with any weapon without worry. Even Aillé's Death Scythe will not be able to leave a mark on the sword.】
【System Notice: Facing the current difficult situation and its increasingly indecent owner, this sacred sword is crying … It has already cried. How many times have I said it, it is a sacred sword, not a barbeque rack! Try using the sword's indestructible property to roast sweet potatoes! Also, when cooking, it is better to use a professional kitchen knife. Don't you know how to respect the King's Divine Weapon? No matter what, it is an antique left behind by your grandfather's generation.】
The Revival of Mist, this Epic Quest to descend upon the Roland Sacred Sword, had always been on my shoulders. However, ever since I entered the Northern Lands, this sacred sword had entered a strange hibernation period.
All of its luxurious and extravagant characteristics had disappeared, and the only thing that remained was that strange Nation Armament special effect. From the system's description, it seemed that this Holy Sword was currently accumulating power and was about to become a true God Armament.
Perhaps, after I completed this Revival of Mist quest, this sacred sword would be reborn as a true God Equipment. Well, as for the roasted sweet potatoes that the System criticized, it was just making the best use of it.
This indestructible property made it so that it didn't even need to be maintained. The sword wouldn't even be stained with dust. It was only normal for such a good all-purpose tool to have additional functions.
Yep, it was normal. I definitely respected it. At the very least, I hadn't used it as a clothesline yet.
【System Notice: You clearly used it, but the clothes were cut open when you hung them on the clothesline. You can't use it to dry.】
Alright, let's ignore this increasingly annoying System and return to the main topic.
"God Equipment? I have never used a God Equipment before, so I don't know how powerful it is. "
There seemed to be something wrong, but what I said was the truth.
Divine Equipment, as the name suggests, are the weapons of the gods. They usually contain Divine Souls and Divine Power, so it is inevitable that they are rare and precious. The pseudo-divine Equipment that I have come into contact with in the past only have the title of Divine Equipment, but they are still a distance away from true Divine Equipment.
For example, the God Equipment Primordial Codex. It was only after I ascended to Godhood that I truly advanced into a God Equipment under the power of the God of Law. It still requires the accumulation of time and the infusion of the God Power of a True God to complete its evolution. However, it is a pity that I no longer have the chance to wield it. As for the other treasure that only has the name of a God Equipment in it — — Eternal Night Scepter. Un, everyone should know what it is.
From this aspect, I was quite envious of Heloise. She had personally come into contact with some God Equipment and understood just how powerful true God Equipment were. I had also once asked her how far away my items were from becoming true God Equipment.
"Those below True God are all Demigods, but you know how big the gap between Demigods is. Those below God Equipment that contain a portion of Divine Power are all SemiGod Equipment. However, those messy combinations of abilities aren't any different from Epic or Legendary-tier equipment, just that they are superior in terms of quantity. On the other hand, true God Equipment is a complete qualitative change. Perhaps they don't have as many abilities as SemiGod Equipment, and some of them don't even have any offensive capabilities, but they definitely contain some unique abilities. In that realm, they are undeniably the kings. "
After coming into contact with the bottle of the Ancient Sea God, I faintly understood the uniqueness of true God Equipment. It only possesses the unremarkable ability of returning water to its original state. Even if the God Equipment itself is already in tatters, even when facing the Divine Power Forbidden Spell of a True God, it is still able to display its own strength.
The Fire God's God Equipment is definitely related to fire, and the War God's God Equipment is definitely a weapon of war. I don't need to say any more nonsense like that. These days, I have been thinking about what this Roland Sacred Sword will evolve into.
From my understanding of the System, due to the limitations of fate and karma, what it gives me is never a creation from nothing to something. On the contrary, most of the time, it's the result of going with the flow. Its greatest use is to save on complicated and complicated processes, using already reversed karma to reverse even greater karma, rather than creating miracles without a beginning or an end.
And its rewards are usually related to the influence and karma involved in the mission. For example, that Epic-ranked mission, I was awarded points based on the influence I had on "history." Previously, when I defeated the Nine-headed Dragon and completed the Epic-ranked mission, I was awarded something from the Nine-headed Dragon.
Thus, I deduced that since the mission given to me is to revive the Mist Kingdom, and the reward is this Roland Sacred Sword's transformation into a God Equipment, and considering that this Sacred Sword is the symbol of the Mist Kingdom's authority, the final strength of this God Sword will probably depend on the quality of the Revival of the Mist Mission.
The higher the quality of the mission, the stronger the new Mist Kingdom will be, and the final Roland Sacred Sword will be even stronger.
And as many things develop, I am constantly adjusting my plans. With our hard work, a future Mist Kingdom is gradually taking shape.
Perhaps he was still very young right now, but he was constantly growing in the midst of war. Perhaps he was still very weak right now, and was in danger of being overturned. When he truly matured, the King of Winter Wolves that rose up in the north would definitely shock the entire world.
Just like how I would definitely regret it if I only completed the basic requirements of the Epic-ranked mission, I have no intention of stopping after completing the basic requirements of the mission.
"The power of a single country is destined to be limited. Perhaps an alliance with a common goal will be more suitable to fulfill my long-cherished wish."
The Donglan Alliance is the name that I came up with in my heart. It will have Donglan as its core, and it will include the Luweir Kingdom, Sharal Autonomous Region, the barbarian tribes, and other factions. It will have the God of Law as its national religion, and "non-war" as its basic principle. It will be guided by the principle of overcoming difficulties together and defending against powerful enemies together. In the difficult Holy War, it will gradually form a loose yet tight alliance.
This alliance, perhaps, will become the cornerstone for me to turn everything around.
In the past, I thought that I could deal with everything by myself, and that friends and companions would only make me weak and reveal flaws. But the numerous failures gave me a heavy blow to my head.
Strength is meaningless in the face of the tides of history, so this time, I have trustworthy companions and friends by my side. Their strengths and wisdom will make up for my flaws. Of course, I can't do without my allies in the sky.
In the past, I thought that war would be able to eliminate war, but the endless deaths and screams gave me a heavy blow to my head. War without mercy, justice, and restrictions will only bring about death and destruction.
Warriors without conviction will eventually become butchers. That's why this time, I intend to use the God of Law's complicated teachings to restrict our actions. Although this seems inflexible and passive, it's the only way to obtain more support. It's also a shackle that will stop me from falling into endless madness.
In the past, I thought that the politics of terror and dictatorship were the sharpest swords, but the truth proved that this was only a shortcut to insanity.
Allies who fight for a common goal will give you unexpected assistance, while subordinates who follow the book will only think of ways to replace your position. That's why this time, I don't intend to create a dictatorship at all. A loose alliance will be enough. I'll have the young rulers lead their countries as the vanguard, advancing bravely under the same banner. I'll be silently plotting, taking actions, and doing the dirty work behind the scenes.
"Love and justice? Of course not. Who do you think you're fooling with such things in this day and age? It's just logical thinking and reasoning. Beliefs, goals, and common goals may seem empty, but they're actually quite necessary. The more power we gather, the higher the chance of reversing misfortune will be. That's why I chose to do this. "
Reality also proved my choice. The Gentlemen Alliance, the Underground factions, the Church of Law, the Donglan Principality, and so on. Although they were indeed related to me in my previous life, strictly speaking, they didn't have any foundational relationship with me or were subordinates to me. Yet, not only did they still listen to my commands, they were still able to work together even without me around, supporting and helping each other, forming a powerful force that couldn't be underestimated.
"In order to deal with the future, my expectations for allies and assistance are limitless. Even if it's just the goal of helping each other out, it's still acceptable even if they have their own plans."
And now, it was obvious that this Epic Quest recognized the new Mist Alliance that I had created. The Roland Sacred Sword's awakening from its hibernation doubtlessly meant that it had received sufficient nourishment, and the new Mist Kingdom was gradually growing.
And this time, the System suddenly gave me a Quest to find someone, which caused the Roland Sacred Sword's awakening in advance. It was likely that I would have to use this sword. Or, in other words, there was already a crisis that I couldn't overcome without using the Sacred Sword. This was doubtlessly bad news.
But the information that I received next caused me to sink into confusion. I faintly felt that I had been scammed by the damned System again.
"Glina Caso disappeared many years ago. It's said that the last place she disappeared was near the entrance to the Underground …"
[She's within your reach …] The System's notification rang in my ears, but I suddenly thought of a certain person, and that person just so happened to meet the requirements to return to the Northlands in about three months.
"Grimm, take off your armor! Immediately, immediately! Damn it, you actually dare to run! Catch him! "
…
No one expected that the Holy War would involve the Gods sooner or later, but the first God War of the Holy War would come so quickly and so fiercely. Furthermore, it was actually a civil war between the Elven Gods, who were supposed to be neutral.
A black magical mist spread out. Before the Spider Queen's divine power protection dissipated, sunlight would be unable to pose any threat to the Dark Elves.
And at this moment, under the protection of the Guardian God, the Elven Forest under the cover of darkness had become a chaotic battlefield. Elves and Dark Elves were fighting and killing each other everywhere.
"Impossible, how did they get past the border guards? Isn't the underground tunnel being guarded? "
"They didn't come from the underground tunnel, they came from the royal mausoleum. There must be a new tunnel there!"
How could the Kingdom of the Elves not be on guard against their mortal enemies? It was common practice for every country to have a fortress at the entrance to the Underground World. But this time, the Dark Elves came too suddenly.
The underground tunnel under the Tassel Kingdom of the Elves's royal mausoleum wasn't natural. It was the final secret escape route for the royal family. It was an escape route that was artificially constructed and connected to the main underground tunnel.
From a certain standpoint, Anne and Anya were indeed the children of fortune. When they got lost, they just so happened to arrive at the critical crossroads. They were even fortunate enough to meet Suana, who was hiding here to escape. That was how they coincidentally learned about this shortcut to the Tassel Kingdom of the Elves.
When Anne and her army learned about this tunnel, they didn't think too much about it. They were just happy that there was a shortcut to take. But when her army stationed themselves nearby, this secret was naturally leaked to Rose through a certain channel, which led to this sudden ambush without any warning.
Perhaps the Elves were fated to face such a calamity. From a certain standpoint, if it wasn't for certain people forcing Suana to her death, the Banshee naturally wouldn't have met the Underground Autarchs, and Rose naturally wouldn't have found out about this secret tunnel. There wouldn't have been such a sudden ambush. Perhaps this was fate.
The guards of the royal mausoleum had never encountered a challenge before. The yawning guards were still complaining about why it wasn't time to change shifts yet, but they didn't expect that the shadow behind them had already warped and a fatal green dagger was already stabbing towards their back.
Before the alarm could even sound, all the guards of the royal mausoleum were killed by the Dark Elves' elite scouts in just a few short minutes. When the majority of the Dark Elves rushed out of the underground tunnel, they didn't expect that the Elves' defense would be so lax, and that the path before them would be so smooth.
Of course, the Dark Elves didn't know the meaning of courtesy. After a short moment of shock, they naturally took advantage of the advantage of intelligence and the initiative to launch the cruelest ambush.
The Dark Elves used the highly mobile Lizard Cavalry as the main force of the charge. These high-level troops might not be strong in a head-on battle, but they were extremely good at chaotic battles. When you were defending against the Knight's poisonous crossbow and lance, the Grey Lizard's bite and claws were even more deadly.
On a small-scale battlefield, the Lizard Cavalry was simply the nightmare of the Elves who lacked strong melee combat. Even when facing powerful Mages, they could use their super jumping ability and agility to easily leap over the summoned creatures that served as cannon fodder and directly tear the Mages into pieces.
And when these cold-blooded Knight and evil beasts suddenly rushed out of the night, the unprepared Elves suffered huge losses. Many villages and towns directly fell, and the cold-blooded Cavalrymen who were satisfied with their bloodlust didn't even have time to offer their sacrifices to the Spider Queen. The anxious Priest Rose pointed the Hydra Whip at the next town.
Due to the ambush, more than 90% of the second-line patrol squads were lost in the first wave of battle. Only one out of a hundred could return alive like Tasia, which made the other Elves suspect that she had already become a traitor.
Just like the Elven Army that galloped freely in the Sleuweir Kingdom, when the Dark Elf Army spread out in all directions in the Kingdom of the Elves, the Tassel Kingdom, which had been left with a lack of manpower, fell into a passive and disadvantageous position.
If it was a normal war, perhaps the Tassel Kingdom wouldn't even be able to wait for their main force to return. But this time, it was the prelude to the Holy War, and both sides involved the interests of the True Gods. Although the ban of the Gods not interfering in the mortal world's war between races had not become a waste paper, there were definitely many who stepped on the red line and played the edge ball.
"Awaken, my children."
When the low chant of Nature's Wrath was released along with the roar of High Priest Prescott, when the thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old Ancient Trees transformed into Ancient Tree Warriors that reached the clouds, the situation of the battle began to tilt once again.
"Forest Guardian God Clairladin! Do you think that by using the cover of a SemiGod's descendant to play Divine Power Descend, I won't be able to recognize your Divine Power that reeks of rotten wood? Since you didn't follow the rules first, don't blame me! Descend, my children! Tear apart these rotten wooden limbs and bring back the head of that Divine Descendant Priest. "
Just when the Elven Warriors were excited about the sudden reinforcements of the Ancient Tree, the scream of the Spider Queen made them despair. That furious roar was still echoing on the battlefield when the door to the Lower Plane suddenly opened.
And when dozens of gigantic black spiders that were more than ten meters long crawled out from the door, when their iron pillar-like limbs easily tore apart the trunks of the Ancient Trees, even the strongest Elven Warriors couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
And while the mortal Elven Warriors were fighting each other, the powerful existences of Divine Power also began to compete with each other.
To the entire Elven race, this was a war that was destined to have no victor. Perhaps in this Holy War, the first True God to fall would be born.
