After a while, Sui Xiong was already sitting in the conference hall of the God Kingdom. He told the followers and allies about the contents of his secret meeting with the God of Aristocracy.
"It seems that the God of Aristocracy intends to go down the dark path." Yorgaardman, the God of Justice, sneered. "It's not too late to turn back. Unfortunately, he refuses."
"It's hard for him to turn back." Morani, the Half-Orc God of Warriors and Craftsmen, sighed. "His core believers are the aristocrats, especially the big aristocrats. They can't possibly support the practice of 'killing a gentleman after five generations.' If he turns back, success or failure is unknown, but the price will definitely not be small. "
"But if he doesn't turn back, he will die sooner or later! With the advancement of technology and culture, a new era will come sooner or later, and the traditional aristocratic system will inevitably collapse. Now the struggle is not intense, and it's almost the best chance for him to turn back. If he wants to turn back in the future, the price will be much heavier than now — it's even possible that he can't turn back anymore. He can only die with the old era and be buried with it. " Wor, the God of Knowledge, shook his head and sighed. "Mortals often hide their illnesses for fear of treatment. In the end, a minor illness becomes a major illness, and a major illness drags on until they die. It's the same for gods!"
"This is something that can't be helped. The rise of a new era and the fall of an old era will inevitably be accompanied by the birth and fall of a large number of gods." Although powerful but old, the God of Law, Lao Branth, the God of Law, sighed and said, "This is like the rise and fall of a country in the human world. A large number of new aristocrats will be born, and a large number of old aristocrats will also be buried with them … This is the price that must be paid."
"It's a pity. They're all talents …" Sui Xiong sighed and said, "If these people could spend their energy on governing the country, it would be better for others and for themselves. In the end, they're wasting their blood on things like changing dynasties and sacrificing their lives for the old era. It's really not worth it. "
"Civilians die, soldiers die, and nobles naturally die too. Everyone only has one life, and no one is more precious than anyone else." The God of Justice shook his head and sneered. "It's the same for gods."
"Speaking of which, I'm more concerned about something else … What do you think the God of Light is thinking?" The Goddess of Wealth, Manissy, was not interested in this kind of fighting and killing. Instead, she was interested in the movements of the God of Light. "He has obviously been suppressing the God of Knights and supporting the God of Aristocracy. The God of Aristocracy pushed Woods to usurp the throne and purged the believers of the God of Knights. He also tacitly agreed to it. But why did he immediately order the Church of the God of Aristocracy to withdraw after the purge was completed and not give them any benefits?"
He paused for a moment and said, "Even if the Church of the God of Aristocracy does not take advantage of them, they should at least let other churches take their place …"
All the gods shook their heads. Everyone was puzzled.
After Woods had purged the believers of the God of Knights and the ministers who were loyal to the late king, there were many vacancies in the court and the army. Even if he did not let the Church of the God of Aristocracy take these positions, the God of Light should at least arrange for other churches to take them. After all, these were the benefits that the God of Aristocracy had taken from the God of Knights. They were considered the meat in the bowls of the human gods. How could they give them to others for no reason?
But the God of Light did not let any of the churches of human gods enter the Eagle Kingdom. As a result, after Woods' purge, they suddenly fell into a predicament where there was no one available. The most ancient country of the human race actually had to rely on promoting talents from adventurers and local nobles to support the central government.
This kind of thing was simply unimaginable. It was like a man who went out to hunt hard, and only managed to catch his prey after suffering heavy injuries. Then he killed it, cut off its flesh, and roasted it — and then he didn't eat it and just left it there.
If this was not done by the God of Light, everyone would definitely think that this guy had a problem with his brain. They were afraid that only those extremely chaotic Evil Gods could do such a thing.
But the God of Light was a God who followed the direction of order. His nature determined that he would not do such a thing.
What was the secret behind this?
Everyone discussed for a while, but they could not get the main point. In the end, they could not come to any conclusion.
Of course, if "that guy had a problem with his brain" could be considered as a conclusion, then there was still a conclusion.
It was just that … it was Yorgaardman who made this conclusion. If they had to choose between him and the God of Light, there was probably no god in the Pantheon Temple who would not choose the God of Light. Even his good brother Sui Xiong was no exception.
He also felt that this big brother of his indeed had a little bit of a problem with his brain …
Just when the gods were having a meeting, the Church of the God of Knowledge and the Church of the God of Aristocracy had already started fighting.
Both sides did not play any tricks like "testing each other" or "fighting a low-intensity war." From the beginning, they went all out. The Church of the God of Aristocracy mobilized all nine Legendary Masters to the Mifata Federation, while the Church of the God of Knowledge mobilized six Holy Sons and Holy Maidens whom they had painstakingly cultivated. They were led by the Chosen One of the God of Knowledge, Olian Geerteng, and assumed the posture of preparing for a big battle.
Coincidentally, the place where the two sides confronted each other was the Green Tree City where Sui Xiong had brought Leon and Steele into the Mifata Federation.
When they passed by this place, they had some conflicts with the ruler of the Green Tree City, the Green Tree City. In the end, Sui Xiong displayed his great magic power and turned it into a Five Fingers Mountain. He trapped the founder of the Green Tree City, the legendary master Old Grimm, under it and imprisoned him in a secret chamber in the mountain. He had to wash away the evil in his heart before he could get rid of the imprisonment and regain his freedom.
That was almost forty years ago. However, when the high-level masters of the two churches confronted each other, the Five Fingers Mountain was still there, and Old Grimm was still imprisoned in the secret chamber in the mountain.
Of course, this had nothing to do with the two sides. The reason why they chose to fight here was that this place was the closest to the border of the Mifata Federation. If they fought here, the damage to the surrounding areas would be the least, and they could avoid causing adverse effects.
The believers of the God of Knowledge belonged to the good camp, and they would avoid hurting the innocent. The believers of the God of Aristocracy did not care about this, but they had to maintain their positive image if they wanted to preach, so they had some scruples.
After some discussion, they decided to fight this battle at the border of the Mifata Federation.
And the battlefield they chose was a forest twenty miles away from the Green Tree City.
This forest used to be a large-scale lumberyard in the past, and it provided a large amount of wood for the construction of the Green Tree City. Old Mage Grimm led his disciples and soldiers around the lumberyard, and fought with the elves who protected the forest several times. Finally, with the help of other Legendary-mages, they drove away the nearby elves and occupied the place.
However, that was a long time ago, and the lumberyard had long been deserted. Only the forest, which was obviously much shorter than the surrounding areas, could prove that this place had once been "developed."
If one looked carefully, they might even find some broken weapons in the depths of the bushes, or some bones that had not yet been completely weathered. Those were the traces left behind by a great battle.
This was the battlefield of the past, and it was also the battlefield of the present.
The stage was still the same, except that a group of actors and a different song had been played.
