Frank looked at Levis. He was also very excited, but he slowly calmed down. "What you said is very tempting, but haven't you considered how many people will die?"
Levis didn't care at all. "Revolution will inevitably bring sacrifices, but it will be worth it. We will bring knowledge and truth to save humans from their short-sightedness and ignorance. We will bring them hope and let them see what the real world is like."
Frank refuted Levis' opinion. "You're right, but we don't need to use such drastic methods. We can slowly influence the whole world bit by bit. We have enough time. You and I both have the potential to become rank 4 wizards. As long as we become rank 4 wizards, we can extend our lifespans to 1000 years."
"We don't need to bring blood and fire to the whole world. We can subtly influence the whole world through our knowledge and power. The people of the Church of Light are also humans. They are part of us, not our enemies. The truth and knowledge will come sooner or later. It won't change because of anyone. This is the inertia of history."
Levis looked at Frank with disappointment. "Frank, you disappoint me. I didn't expect you to be so naive. The church won't think of us as part of them. For example, when Hudson talked to us, he treated us as the devil's representatives. In his mind, we have the power of the devil, and we are the most evil beings."
"We and the Church of Light are natural opposites. They will never tolerate us, and they will never tolerate us."
The two of them had a fierce argument in Frank's house. Neither could convince the other, and in the end, they parted on bad terms. However, Levis didn't give up on his idea.
At the end of the eleventh year of the San Calendar, Levis contacted a group of like-minded classmates from the Wizard Tower. With the support of the Aristocratic Parliament, he chose to establish an organization called the Wizard Alliance in a small and remote Duchy called Kvell in the inland.
With the financial support of the noble council, they quickly built an underground city in the northern wastelands of the Duchy of Creel. They made use of the special underground terrain of the area to establish their base of operations. In the northern wastelands, they conducted their first human experiments in an attempt to create a powerful and modified army.
However, with the loss of Frank and the addition of other wizards' research, the progress was not very smooth. The Aristocratic Council was constantly urging them, and the Church of Light's attacks on them were getting more and more intense. They needed the Wizard Alliance to help them attract the Church of Light's firepower and raise the banner of fighting against the Church of Light. At the same time, they also needed wizard technology to strengthen their own army.
Under great pressure, Levis made a choice. He combined the Wisdom Strengthening Technique developed by Frank and the Kelermo Body Modification Technique. Coupled with the unique witchcraft Plague Technique developed by Levis, he created a terrible army of Owl Knights. It was the first witchcraft modified army in Maria's World.
Each of the Owl Knights had awakened a series of bloodline talents, such as sound wave sensing, great strength, agility, and tenacity, according to a specific template. They could march and sneak in the dark without any hindrance. Levis used the Wisdom Strengthening Technique to modify their brains so that they could quickly learn powerful military swordsmanship and various combination tactics. They could quickly become the most powerful cavalry, infantry, and archers.
However, at the same time, Levis erased their emotional system. They would become fearless knights who would fight for Levis and become the most loyal soldiers. No matter how high the casualties were, they would not flinch or be afraid, and they would carry out orders until the last moment.
The Plague Technique was a witchcraft developed by Levis on top of the Toxic Smoke Technique. It was a side effect of Frank's research on the Plague Infection Virus. Levis noticed it and used it. The Toxic Smoke Technique was a small trick that used magic materials to create poisonous smoke and then used mind power to control it. But the Plague Technique was different. Levis developed it through some of Frank's research and his own Toxic Smoke Technique. When the Owl Knights faced awakening or death, they could choose to sacrifice their lives and self-destruct.
The plague that they had hidden in their bodies would spread rapidly through the air, and the infected would die within an hour. The plague virus would continue to split and spread, but there was a limit to the number of times it could split and spread. The plague virus would also die within twenty-four hours, but within these twenty-four hours, the range and speed of its spread would be unimaginable. Within the area covered by the virus, all living creatures other than the Owl Knights would not be able to escape death. Even Levis did not know how to treat this virus, he only knew how to prevent it.
Knights with strong individual abilities, comprehensive skills, night raids, long-distance raids, and the ability to cooperate with other troops were already extremely terrifying. Not to mention, they also had the ability to kill in a large area. When such a troop was formed into an army, it would be as terrifying as a demon crawling out of the abyss. It would bring a terrible disaster to the entire human world.
In the autumn of the 14th year of the San Calendar, the Duchy of Creville suddenly sent an army to the border of the Kingdom of the Church of Light. With the support of the Noble Council, the Duchy of Creville, which had secretly accumulated a lot of power, raised the flag of rebellion. In the chilly autumn night, the Duchy of Creville declared war on the Church of Light without any warning. The King of the Duchy of Creville invited the black-robed bishop of the Church of Light in the suburbs of Creville and poisoned the bishop at a banquet.
That night, eight wizards and Levis launched a surprise attack on the border of the Kingdom of the Church of Light. Three thousand Owl Knights were quietly transferred from the north of the Duchy of Creville to the west. They took down Lake Castle, a fortress on the border of the Kingdom of the Church of Light. The entire army guarding Lake Castle, which consisted of tens of thousands of soldiers, was beheaded in one night. Not a single one escaped.
The Owl Knights proved their unparalleled combat prowess and unstoppable speed to the world. Levis led the Owl Knights in a straight line, taking down six cities in just a few days. Wherever they went, not a single blade of grass was left behind. Death followed the Owl Knights' black cloaks and armor, spreading across the land.
One of the provinces directly under the Kingdom of the Church of Light fell. The Duchy of Creville seemed to have been prepared for this. They immediately moved in and took control of the situation. They used iron and blood to suppress the voices of resistance. It was as if they had been prepared for this for a long time. They quickly began to erode the power of the Kingdom of the Church of Light. They wanted to completely suppress the Kingdom of the Church of Light.
Blood flowed on the ground, and corpses were everywhere. At this time, the Church of Light finally reacted. At the same time, the armies of the various countries began to move, as if they had a tacit understanding with each other. The armies of the Church of Light began to move. The Pope of the Church of Light issued several emergency edicts in a row, but the armies stationed within the various countries could not be transferred back.
At this time, Pope Hodap could only mobilize the armies of the Church stationed at the border of the Crete Empire. He gathered an army of fifty thousand, and under the leadership of the purple-robed cardinal deacon Martin Nord, they rushed to the city of Attica to meet Levis's Owl Knights.
Attica wasn't a strong city, but it was the last large city before St. Sarl City. After passing through Attica, the road to St. Sarl City would be a smooth one. If the enemy were to attack St. Sarl City, the face of the Church of Light would be thrown to the ground and trampled on.
The fifty thousand soldiers of the Church of Light, Levis's three thousand Owl Knights, and the twenty thousand soldiers of the Duchy of Creville, met in Attica. The situation of the Church of Light had reached a precarious point. All the other countries were also watching the situation. The situation of the human countries had become unpredictable, but the atmosphere of a full-scale war could be felt by everyone. Especially at this time, the orc kingdom in the north had also begun to move.
