The Holy Light Kingdom had destroyed the Wizard Union headquarters and killed a large number of wizards. This news shocked everyone on the Lance Continent.
Emperor Harvey's face was filled with joy as he listened to the news in the palace.
"From today onwards, the Lance Continent is officially in the arms of my lord!" He yelled after confirming that the 3 super teleportation circles had been destroyed.
Although some of the knights in the palace felt that this action would bring disaster to the Lance Continent, everything had already been set in stone and could not be changed.
More Knight were going crazy over the power of the Holy Light Kingdom. No wizards could suppress them anymore. They were the true masters of the continent.
The palace became lively again, but only a few Knight knew that this was only the beginning.
"All this time, there was no way for a Knight to advance after becoming a Knight Captain. This is the difference between a Knight and a wizard! Why can wizards live so long while a Knight Captain can only live for less than 200 years? "Emperor Harvey yelled at the Knight in the palace.
Why did he choose knights to manage the empire? Why did he force the nobles out of the circle of power? Only knights could enter the ruling class of the empire. It was because knights were a group of people who were most likely to believe in the demon from beyond due to their strength and longevity.
Looking at the history of the Nation of God, the first Knight came from the Knight class. They were a group of people with powerful bodies, but they couldn't move forward due to their lack of goals. Now that they had the hope of moving forward, they would do anything in exchange for power.
Why did the Knight class disappear in the Central Continent?
It was because the Nation of God was like a delicious bait for countless Knight to become more powerful. No matter how hard the Wizard Union tried to stop them, many Knight still secretly went to the Nation of God to pursue their path of power.
There was no Doomsday Defense Wall back then, so the Nation of God was able to replenish a large number of Knight reserves and new sources of faith.
In the end, the Wizard Union erased Knights from the Central Continent and made it a crime to practice the way of the Knight.
Emperor Harvey knew this, so he built his empire on the foundation of Knight. He was waiting for the Knight to become a believer.
"No, we are the powerful Knight. We have swept across the continent. We should be rewarded!" The Knight that Emperor Harvey planted in the palace yelled, and the 100 Knights in the palace went crazy again.
Emperor Harvey stood up and yelled, "I'm 318 years old this year. I've long surpassed the lifespan of a Knight. Because of my faith in my lord, I've gained more power and a longer lifespan. Unlike what Wizard Alpert said, I didn't use the longevity potion!"
The gazes of the knights became even more heated. Strength and lifespan attracted them. After obtaining power and wealth, these were the only two things that could attract them.
Emperor Harvey continued, "I will build 100 temples in the Lance Continent. There can only be one faith in the Lance Continent, and that faith is my lord!"
The golden armor on his body shone with a golden light, making his voice full of bewitchment.
All the Knights in the palace knelt on the ground and lowered their voice, "We will become believers of my lord. My lord, you are my only god!"
Emperor Harvey looked at the Knights in the palace and sensed the connection between the golden armor and the Knight. He knew that these Knights had become believers of their god.
Furthermore, because these knights had directly spoken the words of faith to the divine artifact, this faith would be deeply rooted in their souls and would never change.
These over 100 knights were not common; instead, they were the real power knights of Sacred Light Empire. As long as these over 100 knights became believers, they would not encounter any trouble in the following process of spreading their belief.
It wasn't easy to change a person's faith, and Emperor Harvey couldn't use the holy power of his armor to force his followers to submit to him.
Even though he had just easily taken in over a hundred elite knights in the hall as his believers, this operation had consumed an extremely large amount of divine power. If these knights weren't the pillars of the Empire, he wouldn't have used such a consumption of divine power to control them.
Emperor Harvey looked at the praying Knights in the palace and sighed, "Knights are the best!"
A Knight was between a class holder and a normal person. A Knight was stronger than a normal person and even a warrior.
However, the temptation of the Demon from Beyond's faith couldn't affect professionals. It could only affect ordinary people. Knights, who had decent strength and were considered ordinary people, became the best choice for believers.
"After 300 years, I'm getting closer and closer to my lord!" Although Emperor Harvey had been praying to the golden armor for a long time, he still couldn't forget the feeling of praying to the demon from beyond on the central continent.
He knew that once the faith spread across the Lance Continent, the power of faith would connect the Lance Continent to the Nation of God. By then, he would be able to pray to his god directly.
He could even use the super teleportation circle to return to the Nation of God. This was why he didn't destroy the main structure of the super teleportation circle when he destroyed them.
Although using the super teleportation circle to connect to the Nation of God required a large amount of resources and a large amount of divine power, everything was possible with the support of the faith of the Lance Continent.
"My Lord, you are the almighty god.
My Lord, you will stir up the desire of the enemy to seek salvation and make him repent.
My Lord, please soften the enemy's resistance to the truth and plant the seed of your words in his mind.
My Lord, please break the enemy's will and make him despair. Bring him to his own end.
Sever, my lord, the power of the enemy's life; silence the voice of the enemy, and silence them;
I beseech thee, my lord, to work thy power upon the enemy, that he may be freed from the influence of the unclean spirit, that he may be stirred, that he may repent, that I bind and blind the power of the evil spirit of confusion and unbelief; "
Amidst the hymns, a hundred clergymen in white robes walked in from the side door of the hall. They walked into the hall and stood quietly in the center.
"You will be the seed of my Lord's faith. I need to build 100 temples on the land of the Empire. You must spread the glory of my Lord to every inch of the Lance Continent in the shortest time possible!" Emperor Harvey yelled in high spirits.
These preachers were the first batch of preachers he trained. Since the Wizard Union didn't want to find out, they had been hiding.
Clergy members weren't easy to find. Every clergy member had to be recognized by the Divine Armor before they could become a clergy member.
These preachers were all cultivated in the past 50 years. Under the rule of the Wizard Union, the number of followers was greatly limited, so the discovery and cultivation of preachers were also limited.
The preachers did not speak. They bowed, but they were not bowing to Emperor Harvey. Instead, they were bowing to the armor.
In this world, only the gods could make them bow. Emperor Harvey was only the representative of the holy armor. He was not the representative of the gods, so he could not be treated like a god.
If there was a god that had the best missionary effect, it would have to be the demon from beyond. Not only was everyone in the Nation of God a believer, but there were also many hidden believers in the Central Continent.
The Nation of God had a perfect missionary system. It was the result of countless expeditions across the world. It was effective and direct.
If the preachers were given a few years, the entire Lance Continent would become a believer of the demon from beyond with the help of Emperor Harvey.
The Lance Continent had changed. Under the lead of tens of advanced Knight Knights, the 5000 sacred knights of the Holy Light Kingdom were sweeping everywhere.
Large amounts of dwarves became slaves. They were forced to build temples for the EsGod. Only a small number of elite dwarves managed to escape.
They were no longer in Shanfu Forest. They had been in the forest for many days, and all the elves were exhausted. However, they knew that the only way to survive was to continue deeper into the forest.
The elves suffered the least. After the super teleportation circle was destroyed, Duke Bridget took the elves and gave up on Wei Ka City. She couldn't care less about the other elven cities.
After the Wizard Union was destroyed, the teleportation network was hit hard. All teleportations had to be approved by the Holy Light Kingdom.
Although the elves could build their own teleportation network, they couldn't do it due to the lack of materials.
Duke Bridget believed in her own judgment. After the super teleportation circle was destroyed, she gave up on Wei Ka City and took everything she could.
She didn't care about the elves who didn't want to leave.
She knew this was going to be a battle of faith. Unless the elves lost their faith in the Moon Goddess and changed to the demon from beyond, they would die if they stayed.
Fifty thousand elves seemed like a lot, but it was only a small portion of the elves in the Lance Continent.
Duke Bridget wanted to leave some hope for the elves in the Lance Continent. She was waiting for reinforcements from the Central Continent.
When she left Wei Ka City, she broke a piece of Twin Life Jade. Although it was impossible to send messages over long distances without the super teleportation circle, this piece of Twin Life Jade could send a simple message.
There were two twin jades. They were a special type of jade. No matter how far away they were, as long as one of them was broken, the other would break as well.
This type of jade was very rare. It was a special treasure.
The Central Continent wouldn't notice when the super teleportation circle stopped working. Unless someone from the Central Continent wanted to teleport to the Lance Continent during this time, it was very unlikely.
However, the possibility of that happening was too low. Grand Duke Bridget had no idea how many elves would be left when the reinforcements finally arrived.
She knew the Moon Goddess Temple would receive the news after the twin jade broke. By then, the elves she led would be saved. The entire Lance Continent would be saved.
No one knew better than her about what the Holy Light Kingdom had done. Once the Lance Continent became followers of the demon from beyond, the Wizard Union would kill every single creature on the Lance Continent.
The people of the Holy Light Kingdom didn't know this. The Wizard Union was far more powerful than these ridiculous Knight could imagine.
As long as the Moon Goddess Temple confirmed what happened on the Lance Continent, the Holy Light Kingdom would only have one result.
This forest didn't have a name because it was the deepest part of the Lance Continent. There were countless spiritual beasts here. If the elves weren't careful, their lives would be in danger.
Luckily, the elves were the children of the forest. They were like fish in water. The fifty thousand elves didn't even dare to build a city. They just lived in the forest.
In Wei Ka City, the elves who didn't leave couldn't defend the city. Tens of thousands of Knights and a small number of Holy Knights rushed into the city. Almost a hundred thousand elves were brought to the square.
"Give up your faith. Live or die. Choose!" The preacher was wearing a white robe. His voice was filled with murderous intent.
The clergy had a wealth of experience in dealing with the weak elves, especially the ones left after the rebellious elves had left. This experience came from the inheritance of the clergy from the Divine Golden Armor.
After the baptism of blood, the weak would submit.
"You can't make me change my faith!" An old elf yelled.
Then, his head flew into the sky, and a rain of blood fell from the sky.
A few more elves were killed as soon as they tried to fight back. The entire square fell into a terrifying silence.
This silence was exactly what the preacher needed. In this silence, the faith of the elves began to waver.
Without any resistance, the Moon Goddess Temple was taken down. The hundred thousand elves began to build a new one. It was the Demon from Beyond's temple.
Converting followers of other gods into followers of one's own god would bring more rewards than a hundred thousand followers, which was why this clergyman was here.
This scene was happening all over the Lance Continent. The dwarves, elves, and humans were all being forced to change their faith.
This forced faith to become unstable, but it would become more and more stable with time.
The flag of the Holy Light Kingdom was raised all over the Lance Continent. Even the orcs in the desert didn't escape. Temples were built one after another, and more preachers were being trained.
