Prín smiled, "We, the Puyan people, have hundreds of thousands of warriors. They are the most loyal followers of Tiru. There won't be any problems with defense. But because the enemy we're facing is too strong, I only brought qualified Tiru warriors. Don't worry, have you forgotten that I'm a prophet? As for my body, there's no problem at all. Your blood is very compatible with mine, there's no conflict. Sigh, ever since I became a prophet, I've been in the best condition for the past year. Dumb, looking at your face, it seems that you've become the real savior of the continent. I believe that under your leadership, we'll definitely be able to destroy the Dark Saint Religion. "
Dumb said, "As long as you're fine. Prophet, have you predicted the outcome of this trip? "
Prín sighed, "Of course, but even if I'm willing to use my life to predict, I can't see anything. Although you healed my injuries, my ability to predict seems to have disappeared along with my broken body. Now, I'm really a new me. I've already passed the position of Priestess to Sisi, so this trip can be said to be free of worries. After so many years, there's finally a place for my space magic to show its power. "
As they spoke, they entered the hall of the Temple of Light. Under Pope's personal introduction, Prín and the others were shocked. This was the first time they saw a Sword Saint, so they couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. They were willing to sit under the three Sword Saints and Xi Wen. When everyone sat down, Pope's mood seemed to be a lot better. He smiled, "Today can be said to be a double blessing! We've welcomed the Tiangang School and the three Sword Saints, as well as the warriors of the Puyan people. You're all symbols of justice. On behalf of Lord Kami and the common people of the continent, I thank you for your support. You can stay in the Holy Hall with peace of mind. We'll wait for another month, then immediately set off for the Death Mountain Range to fight the dark forces. "
A month's time quickly passed, and the Tenjin Empire's Sorcerers Guild, led by Lardas, personally arrived with more than a hundred Great Magicians and fifty thousand warriors. Aside from the Sky Yuan Race, the other races of the Suo Region Federation had also sent their most elite warriors. The Yalian people had sent fifty thousand light cavalry. These were the elites of the Yalian people. Ever since they attended Xuanyue's wedding in the Holy Hall, these tribes had gathered their elites together and trained by the experts of the Yalian people. They could be said to be an army of tigers and wolves. Of the Yakin people, Tiya had personally come with the four elders. Accompanying them were ten thousand well-equipped elite heavy infantry, as well as thirty thousand sets of light armor. The Red Mongol was indeed a nation of mercenaries. The representatives this time were the elites of the continent's number one mercenary group, the Red Nightmare Mercenary Group. With Lian Dan personally leading them, they had the strength of at least rank two mercenaries. There were also a thousand heavy armored cavalry from the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. They were led by Moon Scar and the Overlord personally. These mercenaries were all former members of the Overlord Mercenary Group. It could be said that they were the elites of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. Although the number of people was less than the other races, these people from the Red Mongol were all experts. The West Wave Tribe was the weakest among the six tribes of the Suo Region Federation, but they had also sent ten thousand warriors. The one who spared no effort was the Hwasin Empire. Although the king was almost assassinated, as the most righteous nation, the Hwasin Empire took the safety of the people of the continent as their own responsibility. They had sent their two most powerful armies over. The two armies were the Knights of the Holy Light led by Fengwen and the Knights of the Light led by Aldous. These two armies were known as the Dragon Army and the Tiger Army in the Hwasin Empire. Each of them had ten armies, each with ten thousand people, for a total of two hundred thousand soldiers. Even if it was only one army, it was enough to make the Sunset Empire tremble. This time, the two armies had come together. It was obvious that the Hwasin Empire had given up on defending against the Sunset Empire. Behind the two hundred thousand soldiers, there was also a logistics team consisting of fifty thousand soldiers. The supplies they brought were enough to last the two hundred thousand soldiers for more than two months. This showed the demeanor of a great nation like the Hwasin Empire. At the same time, the Continental Union of Magicians had also transferred five Mage Groups, a total of five hundred elites above the Great Mage level. Under the leadership of President Cary and eight elders, they came with the army of the Hwasin Empire. For a moment, the reinforcements from the Tenjin Empire and the Suo Region Federation were outshone. Receiving such a magnificent lineup from the Hwasin Empire, Pope could not help but sigh. At such a crucial moment, it was still a righteous nation that could play a crucial role! The Sunset Empire and the Hwasin Empire could not be compared. Quan Yi had only sent ten million gold coins to show his support, and did not send a single soldier. In his letter to Pope, he said that a large number of members of the dark forces had appeared in the Sunset Empire, and that he was leading the army to exterminate them. He was temporarily unable to send troops to help. Pope, of course, understood that Quan Yi did not send troops to participate in this operation for his own safety. His troops were all guarding the surroundings of the Sunset City. Pope did not say anything about this. All his thoughts were on the final battle with the Dark Saint Religion. As for the actions of the Sunset Empire, he had to wait until after the final battle to deal with them. Quan Yi's selfish actions had brought about a disastrous impact on the future of the Sunset Empire.
The Temple of Light.
Pope looked at the leaders of the various forces below and said in a clear voice, "First of all, on behalf of the Holy Hall, I welcome all the forces to join us in this operation to eradicate the Dark Saint Religion formed by the dark forces. For the peace of the continent, for the reproduction of mankind, we must give the enemy a devastating blow. We must not allow them to open the evil gate to the Demon Realm. Time is of the essence to us. Now that all the forces have gathered, after a rest, we will immediately go to the Death Mountain Range and fight to the death with the dark forces. If you have any suggestions, feel free to voice them now. "
To Pope's surprise, Dumb walked out from the crowd and saluted to Pope, "Master Pope, after our previous exploration in the Death Mountain Range, I found that the undead in the Death Mountain Range are not willing to be used by the Dark Saint Religion. The main reason why they have become the peripheral defense of the Dark Saint Religion is that the Dark Saint Religion has an artifact called the Handbook of the Undead. Under the effect of this artifact, the undead have to obey their orders. Through my contact with the Undead creatures, I realized that the high-level Undead creatures were all intelligent. They were also very hostile towards the Dark Sacred Church. I think if we can reach an agreement through negotiation with the high-level undead, we will be able to eliminate the Dark Saint Religion more quickly and smoothly. At the same time, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary casualties. I hope that when the army comes into contact with these intelligent undead, we can be benevolent and dissolve their hostility as much as possible. Perhaps, this trip will be of great help to us. "
Pope nodded slightly. Since Dumb had the identity of the Savior, he could not easily reject Dumb's opinion. In Pope's view, this may be the guidance of God. He glanced at the surrounding leaders and said, "What do you think of Dumb's suggestion?"
Xi Wen said, "I think what Dumb said is very reasonable. After all, our fundamental goal is to eliminate the Dark Saint Religion and prevent the dark forces from opening the gate to the Demon Realm. The Undead creatures are only our hindrance. For thousands of years, the Undead creatures have been living in the Death Mountain Range and haven't caused any harm to humans. As long as they don't make us their enemy, we can still dispel their hostility through negotiation. This will only benefit us. "
The leaders who were on good terms with Dumb nodded and agreed with Xi Wen's opinion. Dai Ya, the leader of the Yalian people, took a few steps forward and walked to Xi Wen's side. He said, "I have my doubts. Those undead have always killed. Isn't it asking a tiger for its skin if we negotiate with them? It will also delay us for more time. I think we should charge in with a spurt of energy. With our hundreds of thousands of soldiers, do we still have to be afraid of them? "
Dumb frowned and said, "Leader, you may not know how powerful the undead are. They are not something that ordinary people can imagine. You're right, we have a lot of soldiers. However, numbers were meaningless in the face of Undead creatures. For example, when we are fighting against skeletons and zombies, once one of our comrades dies, another enemy will appear. What will happen in the end is not something we can predict. We can't let our soldiers die in vain! "
Dai Ya snorted and said, "You are just worrying too much. I don't believe that the undead are as dangerous as you say. We, the Yalian people, are the bravest warriors. What are some skeletons and corpses to us? You are just a disciple of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction. It's best if you don't butt in. " He didn't attend Xuanyue's wedding. Although he heard from his subordinates that Dumb was powerful, he didn't pay much attention to it. Especially when he saw how young Dumb was, he looked down on him and couldn't help but speak rudely.
Dumb's cultivation was profound, and his self-restraint had also grown along with his cultivation. He wouldn't hold a grudge against a boorish person like Dai Ya. He quietly retreated to Xuanyue's side and didn't say a word.
Pope frowned and said in a deep voice, "Leader Dai Ya, please watch your tone. Dumby's identity isn't just a disciple of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction. At the same time, he's also the new Heavenly Dipper Sword Saint, the savior of the continent sent by the gods. No matter who it is, everyone has to respect him.
Dai Ya was slightly taken aback. The title of Sword Saint still made him a little fearful. He muttered, "The title of savior is too vague."
Pope's eyes flashed. Dai Ya felt as if his soul had been struck by a giant hammer. The powerful pressure caused him to unconsciously take a few steps back. He looked at Pope in shock. Pope said coldly, "Leader Dai Ya, are you slandering the Holy Hall? Have you forgotten that a thousand years ago, it was the Savior, His Majesty Divine Feather, who led the heroes of humanity and finally resolved the invasion of the Dark Demon Tribe? I repeat, no one is allowed to insult Dumb here. Otherwise, you will become the enemy of the entire Holy Hall. "
Dai Ya was, after all, the leader of a tribe. He was furious to be reprimanded by Pope, but he knew how powerful the Holy Hall was. He snorted angrily and retreated to the side. Dumb saw that the atmosphere wasn't right. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Pope, Leader Dai Ya only expressed a different opinion. He didn't mean anything else. Please … "
The Pope raised his hand to stop Dumby from speaking any further. He looked around at the leaders of the various forces and said, "What I said just now will not change. Dumb's suggestion is very reasonable. My thoughts are the same as Sect Master Xi Wen. This matter is decided. We'll talk about it after we reach the Death Mountain Range. Do you have any other opinions? "
Windletter took a step forward and said, "Lord Pope, there are more than 300,000 soldiers gathered around the Holy Hall's sacred mountain. Including the Holy Hall's troops, there are about 400,000 of them. Military strategists say that at the beginning of a war, provisions must come first. Right now, we only have 50,000 troops. I don't think it's enough. We don't know how long this battle against the Dark Saint Religion will last. I think it's best if we pay attention to our supplies. " As a master of the art of war, no one was more qualified to speak than Windletter, the commander-in-chief of the Hwasin Empire's army.
Pope nodded in agreement and said, "Marshal Windletter is right. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Windletter had a plan in mind. Without hesitation, she said, "I think our army can go first. The supplies we've prepared are enough to support the entire army for a month. I will contact the general quartermaster of the Hwasin Empire and order him to send another 50,000 people to gather food and other materials from all over the country. This will form a good supply line. This way, we can focus all our energy on the battle against the Dark Saint Religion. What do you think, Lord Pope? "
Pope sighed and said, "What else can I say? I didn't expect the Hwasin Empire to do this. Let's do as Marshal says. The Holy Hall and the human race will forever be grateful to you. By the way, Priest Xuan Ye, send the 10 million gold coins from the Sunset Empire to Marshal Windletter. We can't let the Hwasin Empire bear too much of a burden to deal with the dark forces. "
Without waiting for Xuan Ye's reply, Windletter interrupted, "Lord Pope, there's no need. We, the Hwasin Empire, still have a certain amount of resources. We don't want to use the money from the dark forces. " An awe-inspiring aura emanated from Windletter's body. His righteous and awe-inspiring temperament made everyone present show a sense of respect.
Pope smiled and said, "Marshal Windletter is right. Priest Xuan Ye, return the money to the Sunset Empire. From now on, the Holy Hall will no longer accept any donations from the Sunset Empire. Then it's settled. After everyone has rested, we will immediately set off for the Death Mountain Range. "
After 10 days of rest, on the 15th day of the 3rd month of the 999th year of the Holy Calendar, under the leadership of Pope, the 380,000 soldiers and 50,000 Holy Knights of the Holy Hall set off from the mountain of the Holy Hall. Along with them were 5,000 High Priests of the Holy Hall and 600 High Mages from the two Sorcerers Guild. Due to the large number of people, the speed of the advance was inevitably slow. It was not until the 20th day of the 4th month that the army finally crossed the vast prairie of the Yalian people and entered the territory of the Sky Yuan Race. Due to the large number of people, Pope ordered the army to set up camp in the forest outside the Sky Yuan Race's territory to avoid unnecessary losses. In order to ensure that the Dark Saint Religion did not withdraw from the Death Mountain Range, he ordered all the forces to send a large number of scouts to investigate the situation around the Death Mountain Range.
Standing on a slope that was only a dozen meters high, Pope gazed in the direction of the Death Mountain Range. Next to him were the 3 Sword Saints, Dumb, and Xuanyue.
"Grandpa Pope, let me go to the elves to see Aunt Queen Elves," Dumb said.
Pope nodded and said, "I think you are also the most suitable candidate. Then go now. After you have contacted the elves, we will prepare to enter the Death Mountain Range. Dumb, don't you feel that our journey has been a bit too peaceful? We have not been harassed by the Dark Saint Religion at all. I feel a bit uneasy. It is impossible for them not to know that we have come with such a great force. "
Dumb thought for a while and said, "Perhaps the Dark Saint Religion does not dare to take risks because our lineup is too strong."
Pope shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. From what we have seen in the past, the leader of the Dark Saint Religion is definitely a scheming person. I originally thought that he would definitely send his subordinates to harass us along the way to slow down our pace, but he did not do so. Now, we can only start attacking the Death Mountain Range as soon as possible. "
The Eastern Sword Saint Yun Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, Sir Pope. Since the blood sun and blood rain that you mentioned have not appeared yet, we still have a chance."
Yutu said drunkenly, "Yes! Brother, don't worry. There's still us. "It could be said that Pope had completely bribed Yutu with the three jars of Thousand-Year-Old Drunk Immortal. Although the wine that had been aged for thousands of years was sealed very well, there was still a certain amount of volatilization. Each jar was less than a third of its volume. Even Yutu, who loved to drink, especially treasured these exceptional wines. He only drank a little every day and used ordinary Drunk Immortal to satisfy his craving. Now, it could be said that Pope was his breadwinner, and their relationship was very harmonious.
The Pope smiled and said, "That's right! The Dark Saint Religion definitely did not expect us to have the strong support of the three Sword Saints. Dumb, you and Yue should go now and come back as soon as possible. "
Dumb agreed and pulled Xuanyue down the slope. Just as he was about to speed up to the elves, he heard Xuanyue say in a low voice, "Dumb, wait a moment. I will go call two people. Let's go together."
Dumby was taken aback and said, "Call two people? You mean Brother Yanshi and the others? Their speed is quite slow, and it will affect our return time. Let's go, let's go together. "
Xuanyue smiled mysteriously and said, "I don't want to call Brother Yanshi and the others. Even if time is tight, it's not like that. With your skill, you can also bring them to speed up!"
Dumb pulled Xuanyue's arm and frowned, "Who is it? If you don't tell me clearly, I won't let you go. "
Xuanyue said in a low voice, "Did you forget what I promised Oliveira? I want to create an opportunity for him! Understand? I'll be right back. Wait for me here and don't move. " Breaking free from Dumb's hand, she floated up in the golden light and quickly headed to the camp where the army was stationed. She first found Oliveira and told him where Dumb was. She only said that she had something to tell him and didn't explain much. She ran to the Yakin people's territory and pulled Tiya out. Although Tiya didn't know what Xuanyue wanted to do, she trusted Xuanyue very much. In just a short while, Xuanyue had finished her task. When they returned to Dumb's place, Oliveira was already there. Xuanyue could tell from Oliveira's awkward expression that Dumb must have told him. She smiled faintly and glanced at the confused Yati. Then, she said with a smile, "Big Sister Yati, I want to bring you to the most beautiful place on the continent. Then, she hooked Dumb's arm and said, "You take Brother Villa, I'll take Sister Tiya. Let's make up for the time we've lost." Then, she waved her hand and a golden barrier enveloped Tiya. She floated up under the influence of the holy energy. Dumb smiled helplessly and chased after her with his fighting energy while carrying Oliveira. As they flew forward, Dumb said to Oliveira, "This time it's up to you. Yue will definitely create an opportunity for you. It's up to you whether you succeed or not. "
Oliveira said unnaturally, "But, Boss, I've never pursued a girl before. I don't know how to do it! You, teach me quickly. "
Dumb smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how to either! You'll have to rely on yourself. No one can help you. "
Oliveira begged, "Boss, we all think that you're not only a Sword Saint, but also a Casanova! Otherwise, how could you catch up to Boss Xuanyue? Please teach me. "
Dumb sighed and said, "It's my fortune to be able to be with Yue. Sometimes, even I don't understand why she likes me. If you like Matriarch Tiya, then treat her sincerely. I think that as long as she's interested in you, she won't reject you. "
While Dumb and Oliveira were talking, Xuanyue and Tiya were also whispering. "Sister Tiya, what do you think of Villa?"
Tiya frowned and said, "Sister, you can't be thinking of introducing that guy to me, right?"
Xuanyue smiled and said, "Why not? Don't look down on him. He's the youngest Magic Shooter of the Continental Union of Magicians, and his magic cultivation is profound. Moreover, he has the power of the Union behind him. Brother Villa was specially trained by the Continental Union of Magicians. In the future, the position of the Union's President will be taken by him. Let's not talk about his identity and ability, his looks are also worthy of you! His character is also very good. From his persistent pursuit of magic, he's a good candidate for a dedicated husband. Sister, don't be too picky. "
Tiya sighed softly and said, "Sister Xuanyue, now that we're facing a great enemy, how can I have the mood to talk about love affairs? Moreover, I've long been discouraged, and he might not be interested in me. You know, I'm the leader of the Yakin people, and my husband must stay with me in the Yakin people. Even if we get together, will he return to the Yakin people with me, or will I go to the Continental Union of Magicians with him? "
Xuanyue was stunned and scratched her head like Dumb. She said, "I haven't thought about that. But things will work out when they come to it. You should get along with each other first. If you can really become a couple, everything will naturally be much easier to solve. Sister, brother Villa is a candidate that I've spent a lot of effort to help you pick out. You can't reject him right away. "
Tiya smiled and said, "Alright, my good sister, I'll try to accept him. You're really making things difficult for me. "
"What's so difficult about it? Maybe you'll have to thank me properly in the future? "
Oliveira's appearance appeared in Tiya's mind. His handsome and elegant appearance was indeed not annoying. Blushing slightly, she didn't say anything else.
With Dumb and Xuanyue's speed, they arrived at the Elven Forest in less than half an hour. They passed through the forest on the outskirts with ease and arrived outside the Elven Barrier. The four of them landed on the ground. Dumb looked at Oliveira and Tiya, who both looked a little awkward. He coughed and said, "Wait a moment." After that, he took out the Elven Bracelet from his portal bag and opened the barrier in front of him. As soon as the barrier opened, Xuanyue immediately jumped to Dumb's side and pulled him inside. She smiled as she ran and said, "Brother Villa has been here before, he knows the way. Sister Tiya, you should follow him. " Before Oliveira and Tiya could object, the two of them were wrapped in golden light and disappeared.
Tiya was a girl, after all. She immediately lowered her head and did not know what to do when faced with such an awkward situation.
Oliveira's heart warmed up when she saw Tiya's blushing face. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She said softly, "Chief, let's go in too. The barrier that Boss Dumby opened won't be able to hold for long. "
Yati glanced at Oliveira and hummed in acknowledgment. Then, she stepped into the barrier first. Oliveira hurriedly followed beside her. For a moment, he did not know what to say even though he had a glib tongue.
As they walked, Tiya was attracted by the gradually changing scenery of the forest. She murmured, "The forest here is so beautiful! It doesn't have a trace of worldly aura. It's much better than the forests of us Yakin people. We only know about mining. We don't know much about protecting the environment. "
Oliveira finally found a chance to talk and hurriedly said, "Chief, this is the mysterious Elven Forest. When we reach the City of Elves, there will be even more beautiful scenery. "
Tiya said, "Am I that scary? Why are you so nervous? "
"No, no! I, I … "
Tiya looked at Oliveira's anxious expression and could not help but laugh. She said, "What's the rush? I'm not a tiger that eats people. Brother Villa, have you never had a girlfriend? "
Oliveira looked at Tiya's smile, which was like a thawing iceberg, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled bitterly and said, "Don't talk about girlfriends. Among all the people I know, Xuanyue is the only female. When I was very young, I was recruited by the Union because I was more suitable for practicing magic. I've lived for more than 20 years, and almost half of my time has been spent practicing magic. If I hadn't met Boss Dumb and Xuanyue, I'm afraid I would still be a frog in the well in the Union. Compared to you, Patriarch, my knowledge is still too little. "
Tiya smiled and said, "But your achievements are also very high! I heard from Sister Xuanyue that you are the youngest Magic Shooter in the Continental Union of Magicians. You seem to practice wind magic. "
Oliveira said, "Achievements? My achievements are nothing compared to Boss Dumby's. I'm still far from it. I can barely be considered a Magic Shooter. Why, Chief, are you also interested in magic? "
Tiya nodded and said with a smile, "Don't always call me Chief. Since you are Dumb and Xuanyue's friend, you are naturally my friend too. Just call me by my name. Actually, I was also very interested in magic when I was young. On the continent, the status of a Mage is so respected. Unfortunately, I'm not cut out for practicing magic. Brother Villa, can you tell me more about magic? "
At the mention of magic, Oliveira became spirited and said with a smile, "Of course. Actually, the principle of magic is very simple … "
Oliveira and Tiya chatted as they walked. In this beautiful forest, no one would disturb them. From time to time, the cheerful laughter of the two could be heard in the fresh and quiet air. It sounded exceptionally moving.
It felt like time passed very quickly. Unknowingly, Oliveira had already brought Tiya to the Elven Lake. Her whole body trembled, and Tiya's eyes revealed a misty look. She stared blankly at the thin layer of white mist above the Elven Lake, unable to say a word. Oliveira moved closer to Tiya and said softly, "It's beautiful, right? Look at those big trees in the middle of the lake. That's where the elves rest. The beautiful scenery formed by these big trees and vines is called the City of the Elves. This is definitely one of the most beautiful places on the continent! "
Tiya nodded and exclaimed in admiration, "Yes! I've never seen such a beautiful place before, but why isn't there a single elf in this Elven Forest? "
"That's because I won't let them disturb you. Hehe. "A golden light flashed, and in the next moment, Xuanyue had already appeared beside the two of them. It turned out that when Dumb and Xuanyue entered the Elven Forest, they told the elven patrolling guards not to disturb Tiya and Oliveira. That was why their journey was so peaceful. Otherwise, they would have been stopped by the patrolling elves. After hearing Xuanyue's words, Oliveira and Tiya blushed at the same time. Tiya glared at Xuanyue, but the shyness on her face did not diminish. Oliveira coughed and changed the topic, "Boss Xuanyue, where's Boss Dumb? Why don't I see him? "
