After Douglas' speech, all the sorcerers on the spot left in different directions silently and steadily, ready to accomplish the tasks that they were given. They were not excited, zealous, or instigated. Some of them only made choices that came from the bottom of their hearts after rational consideration, and some of them took action with determination in silence.
We know what we want, and we know the price that we will pay for it!
Douglas watched the sorcerers leave in an orderly manner solemnly. He watched the legendary sorcerers such as the Lord of Frost and the Eye of Curse return to their organizations and the cities that they needed to reach through the demiplane. After a long time, he sighed softly and said to Fernando and the rest of them, "It's time for us to take action."
Fernando and the rest of them did not say anything but followed Douglas to the depths of the cave.
In the early morning, the vigorous sun rose slowly, driving away the darkness and bringing light.
At this moment, on the plateau near Renstadt, the earth suddenly trembled violently, and humming noises echoed from deep inside. The beasts were alarmed and ran away from the place crazily.
BOOM!
The earth collapsed into a black hole, and countless cracks spread out.
Terrifying magic waves burst out of the deep pit, and dazzling light burst out, almost competing with the morning sun in the sky for brilliance.
How could Fantine, the Grand Cardinal who was stationed in Renstadt, not have sensed such a huge noise? He quickly turned on the divine power defense circle of Renstadt and flew over with the red robes and the giants of the Inquisition.
As a saint, it was impossible for him to hide in Renstadt in fear and do nothing while the sorcerers were on a rampage!
In the place where the Saint Truth ruled, such a thing had never happened before.
Also, as long as he did not run into a top legend, he believed that he was definitely capable of protecting himself, even if there were more than three legendary sorcerers on his enemy's side.
When he flew to the plateau of Renstadt, he also asked a red robe who stayed behind to command the noble Knight to follow and assist in the battle.
Therefore, the bishops and pastors went to the residences of the Sword of Truth's Knights, the Knight of Judgment, and the Knight of Holy Cross, urging them to set off.
"Over the years, those nobles have been less and less active in battles. They are no longer as active as when the Knight took action the moment something happened. Such a trend must be rectified!" Similar thoughts popped up in the minds of the clerics as they went to the residences.
"Set off immediately and surround the plateau!" A bishop commanded the Sword of Truth's Knight.
"Blue Grace" Sharp was not here. "Pure Silver Punishment" Cesc stood out and said coldly, "His Majesty has given the order that all the knights are not allowed to leave the camp without his permission!"
"What's the meaning of this?" The bishop roared angrily.
Cesc, the Silver Punishment, said expressionlessly, "That's what it means."
"Are you betraying your Lord? You are colluding with magicians! You are corrupted! " The bishop was beyond infuriated. "You will be tried by the Inquisition and burned at the stake!"
Cesc waved his right hand, and silver lightning immediately plowed a deep ravine before the bishop.
Staring at the bishop in the eyes, he said, "One more word, and you'll die. One step forward, and you'll die."
"You!" The bishop was stunned. He did not expect that a noble Knight would be so disrespectful and aggressive to the Lord's servant.
He looked around, trying to find a Knight who could defend the dignity of the Lord.
Longswords were unsheathed, emitting cold brilliance under the sunlight. All the Knight in the camp looked at the bishop maliciously.
Those b * stards had tolerated them for too long!
Now that the Church is divided, let's see if you dare to be so arrogant!
The bishop stepped back in fear, finding it hard to believe that this was the Kingdom of Holm that was bathed in the grace of God.
Inside the Nekso Palace, Hoffenberg, the Sword of Truth, stared at the void before him deeply. Illusionary cracks appeared, vaguely displaying the view on the plateau.
Outside of the temple, the dukes, Count, and the other nobles who were gathered looked at the closed gate attentively, waiting for the king's order in silence. At this moment, they fulfilled their vows as Knights and entrusted everything to the liege that they were loyal to.
Of course, they couldn't have been so united if the Church hadn't hunted them and frightened them day and night over the years.
In the deep pit on the plateau, the light was more and more dazzling, and a terrifying pressure leaked out. It could be vaguely seen that an enormous city was rising from below.
When Saint Valentine arrived with the red robes and the giants of the Inquisition, he happened to see the city the size of a mountain pass the horizon under the support of the light.
"A floating city? Another sorcerer is trying to build a floating city? " Valentine thought in surprise. Wasn't it the floating city project that had been proven to fail many times in the Magic Empire?
"It's called Allyn, which means' City in the Sky 'in the language of Sylvanas." A solemn voice echoed, and a sorcerer in a solemn black robe appeared before the floating city that was enshrouded in light.
"Douglas, the president of the Congress of Magic." Alarmed, Valentine recognized the sorcerer.
Over the past decades, Douglas had saved a lot of sorcerers and killed a lot of clerics and night watchers. His name was on the Cleansing List.
Douglas looked at them solemnly with mixed feelings. Suddenly, a weird-shaped celestial globe appeared before him.
"Paradise of Stars!"
The place immediately became dark and boundless, with stars flashing and trapping Valentine and the rest of them.
There was nobody in the temple of the Nekso Palace except for Hoffenberg.
However, he opened his mouth casually. "Douglas is truly capable. He tried to kill Valentine when we were at the same level."
"Hehe." A sniff suddenly echoed in the void up ahead. It was from Pope Gregory, whom Hoffenberg was familiar with, who was fighting the heretics in the northern frontline.
As the king of a major kingdom, he had ways to contact the pope in secret.
The clerics who returned from the residences of the Knight Legion were shocked, infuriated, and scared. After some discussion, they decided to question King Hoffenberg directly and see if he dared to admit that he had betrayed the Lord!
Right then, the holy light that covered the whole city abated, and everything returned to normal.
"What happened?"
"How did this happen?"
The clerics looked at each other in bewilderment. The terrifying waves outside were still going on. Why did the divine power defense circle suddenly disappear?
"It's the Nekso Palace!"
"It's Hoffenberg!"
They suddenly realized what was going on. The divine power defense circle had two control cores, one in the cathedral and the other in the Nekso Palace!
"Has … Has he really joined the sorcerers?" The clerics thought in fear and shock.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion burst out in the district of nobles near the Nekso Palace. The clerics looked over in fear, only to see a magic tower rising from the ground and taking shape quickly under the effect of spells!
It seemed to have been prepared for a long time, or the magic circles couldn't have been completed so quickly!
A magic tower was established in the district of nobles?
The clerics felt a bone-piercing cold.
BOOM!
A dark, pointy magic tower was growing at a visible speed. However, Zachary, the saint cardinal of Cocus, the capital of the Duchy of Calais, could only hide in the grand church whose defense circles had been fully activated. He watched the scene in shock, fury, and fear, because he saw Raymond, the Wind of Ceaseless, and Atlant, the Eye of Curse, standing together!
BOOM!
In Salivar, the capital of the Kingdom of Brianne, in Kasvic, the capital of the North Coast Alliance, and in Colette, similar magic towers rose one after another, announcing the return of the sorcerers to the world!
Some of the Grand Cardinals in those places were killed, and some of them were hiding in the cathedrals with the support of the divine power circles. They asked for help from the Church, but the Church, which was at war with the North Church, could only summon a few legends for now. It was impossible for them to gain any advantage.
The Inquisition of Cocus, on the other hand, was already full of dead bodies.
No, the corpses got up again and followed behind Vicente.
He walked in the Inquisition that was surrounded by the army of undead. In the room of the Inquisitor, he saw the appalled Crazy Hound.
"Vicente?" The massacre of the town made him realize that Vicente was not only alive but also back for revenge.
Vicente looked at Crazy Hound, the middle-aged man who had been through the vicissitudes of life, and said coldly, "You will be honored to be the first offering to revive Shirley."
As he spoke, Crazy Hound raised his hands and grabbed his own neck. He screamed in pain, but he couldn't say a word.
Then, his body began to stiffen, and he was stored in a strange coffin by Vicente.
… …
The sorcerers entered Renstadt one after another. Looking at the high magic tower, they couldn't help but feel sad. The magic tower and themselves could finally show up in public!
On the plain, the boundless starry sky was gone. Dead bodies fell one after another, and Douglas was the only one floating in the sky. The floating city behind him began to rise quickly!
"He is indeed a monster with the combat ability of a top legend," Hoffenberg commented casually.
In the void, Gregory's voice echoed again. "What do you need?"
At this moment, he had to count on the power of the nobles. Therefore, he spoke straightforwardly.
"We need the Church to reflect and understand its boundaries," Hoffenberg said casually, as if he were discussing the weather today.
"Reflect? Understand your own boundaries? "There was a hint of anger in Gregory's voice.
"Yes." Hoffenberg did not flinch at all. He touched the Sword of Truth next to him with his right hand.
… …
The floating city flew higher and higher like an inverted mountain. The buildings on it had been repaired, and all the cracks were gone.
BOOM!
When it reached the predetermined location, light burst out, and the floating city trembled up and down softly.
The sorcerers near the plain and in Renstadt all watched the scene anxiously, fearing that it would fall.
The tremors stopped. The enormous city floated in midair steadily. Magic stripes glowed, and patterns were formed. A defense appeared!
"It … It's really flying …"
"That's the floating city …"
All the sorcerers covered their mouths, fearing that they would burst into tears. The pioneering work that the Magic Empire had never accomplished had been accomplished in the darkest age! And its "flight" also marked the end of their rat-like lives in the dark!
The future might be more gory, but it definitely would not lack light!
The clerics, the nobles, and the ordinary people all looked at the scene in shock. Was the city in the sky the Lord's residence? Why had it been stolen by the sorcerers?
Floating before the floating city, Douglas amplified his voice with spells and announced solemnly:
"This is Allyn, the 'City in the Sky', the Headquarters of the Magic Council!"
The speech was simple and straightforward, but it made the sorcerers who heard it cry.
