After telling Evernight Goddess through prayer that the call to Omebella came from the trace of breath left by "Mother Goddess of Depravity", Angel closed his eyes and waited for a moment, but did not get a direct response from Goddess, and no bishop came to the Prayer Hall to convey it to Divine Revelation.
Strangely, Goddess provided help when hunting "Demonic Wolf", which means that He did not fall into a state of being completely unable to respond to prayers because he had to accommodate Uniqueness of "Death", but why did he not respond to such an important matter?
Angel thought about it, recited Honorific Name, and offered the same prayer again, but nothing happened.
This means two possibilities, either Goddess already knows about this matter, and thinks that Angel's status and strength are not enough to intervene, just like she was just promoted to It is the same as when Sequence 8 drew the appearance of Adam and offered it to Goddess to seek answers; or Goddess's condition suddenly deteriorated and he was no longer able to respond to the prayers of the beloved.
Judging from the Prayer Hall and Church Square, which are full of anxious believers, and from the wavering of Evernight's faith in Backlund and even Loen, Angel is leaning toward the latter.
It is difficult for her to help with this kind of thing. Even if she empties "Dream City" of food and snatches "Gift of the Land" and stamps it on Backlund, it will be difficult to solve the problem of insufficient food that shakes people's hearts. This is no longer just a matter of businessmen hoarding resources. The impact of Intis and Feysac's troops first occupying the production area and cutting off the sea transportation lines gradually emerged. Loen's decline cannot be reversed by Angel alone.
Moreover, now that the front line surrounding the Backlund area has been formed, even if Angel wants to go to the battlefield and use the large-scale killing ability of Demoness to delay the opponent's attack, it will still face the siege of a large number of Angel from three countries and Three Great Churches. Whether it can even escape depends on luck.
When the numbers and strength are superior, the coalition forces only need to adopt the "countermeasure" method, using Angel to fight against Angel, and Saint to intercept Saint, so that Loen Royal Family, the military's Demigod, Evernight, and Storm's Angel cannot play a role on the battlefield, so that the army can continue to advance towards Backlund and squeeze the defense line of Loen.
"At this critical moment, City of Silver is about to start exploring Giant King’s Court. We must take advantage of the fact that 'True Creator' has the same purpose and Adam is about to become a god. Let Klein be promoted to Sequence 2, otherwise there may not be a better opportunity in the future..."
Angel This thought flashed through his mind, and he recited Honorific Name of Goddess again, and said softly:
"Klein Moretti and I are about to go to 'Giant King’s Court'. We may not be able to stay at Backlund during this period. I hope you can understand that I am temporarily unable to participate in the battle to defend this city."
After waiting for a moment, just when Angel thought he would not get a response, a little more information suddenly appeared in his mind, as if it had always been there, but had been hidden before:
"Go ahead."
Goddess responded! His condition is not as bad as I thought?
Angel suddenly raised his head and looked at the holy emblem hanging above Prayer Hall's altar, with thoughts in his mind.
Could it be that Goddess already knows that Earth Mother Omebella has a problem? What about other God, such as friendly Lord of Storms and God of Wisdom, and enemy Eternal Blazing Sun and God of Combat? If Goddess is in good condition, then Saint and Angel of Church of Evernight will gradually retreat to Holy Cathedral of Winter County, pretending to give up Backlund, is this...
She was so excited that she didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she drew Crimson Moon on her chest. The figure suddenly disappeared and quickly left Prayer Hall, returning to the square where believers gathered and praised Goddess.
She was about to enter Mirror World and leave Backlund, but she met an unexpected person at the edge of the square.
"Leonard, didn't you go to Winter County?"
Seeing that this old acquaintance was looking at the towering spire of Saint Samuel Cathedral and still not entering, Angel appeared from beside him and asked in a low voice.
The Nighthawks, who still wore a windbreaker and red gloves in the summer, was startled by the sudden sound. The light beside him became unstable. He was relieved when he discovered that it was Angel.
It seems that he has been promoted to Sequence 4's "Nightwatcher"... Feeling the darkness containing the power of sleep slowly disappearing next to the other party, Angel made some guesses.
"I just came back from Holy Cathedral. They asked me to stay in Backlund to replenish the already limited combat power and guard against possible attacks on Evernight believers."
Leonard, whose green eyes were even deeper, glanced at Angel and replied.
Is this preparation to save believers after defeat? But most ordinary people would just change their beliefs to survive, right? Angel was a little doubtful of his guess just now, but he just nodded and said:
"I will leave Backlund soon. You should be careful and don't be stingy with the Charm I give you. You can ask me for help at critical moments."
Leonard was stunned and asked, "Is it because of the incident with Klein?"
Without waiting for Angel to answer, he continued:
"Can you take Shermane away? Let her go to Bayam, or to your city, and don't come back for the time being."
How come it's like asking me to take care of Shermane...Angel moved the corner of his mouth, glanced at the believers praying to Goddess with their own thoughts and the somewhat chaotic streets around them, and said:
"With her ability, even if Backlund falls, it will not be difficult to escape, not to mention that the sea is not safer than the land now."
With the help of Leonard, Shermane has completely digested "Pleasure" Potion not long ago and was promoted to "Affliction" Demoness. As long as he does not intervene in the battle between Demigod, there is no problem in self-protection.
But at sea... Angel's thoughts drifted away in an instant.
Rhoside Islands, "City of Generosity" Bayam.
The dark clouds in the sky had just dispersed. After a storm that suddenly came and disappeared, the once blue sea had become turbid. Countless shipwrecks were floating near the port. Most of them were Feysac battleships, but there were also many belonging to Loen Navy and Church of Storms.
"Sea King" Yarn Courtman looked back at the sea, looked at the red-haired woman next to him who was petite compared to him, and whispered:
"Even Feysac's 'War Bishop' can only lower its head and admit defeat in my territorial waters."
His dark blue eyes stayed for a moment on the other person's face that even Storm would be fascinated by. He looked away uncomfortably and continued:
"I'm just a little curious, why would you help us deal with Feysac's fleet instead of joining the Intis navy and cutting off the routes of Bayam and Loen Kingdom?
"Ms. Ilian Sauron."
"I belong to 'Witch Church' first, and then Sauron Family."
The ends of her red hair turned black as if they were burnt. Helene, whose feminine beauty was mixed with some neutral charm, lowered her eyes and answered devoutly.
"Hmph, Witch Church..."
Yarn Courtman snorted, remembering the "Golden Queen" on the wanted order signed by himself. At this time, he had become the real Angel, protecting a city, and frequently appeared on the battlefield of the North Continent, fighting for Loen, and becoming an ally of Church of Storms.
This Angel, whose mastery of "Calamity" is even better than his own, makes "Sea King" instinctively repulsive, but this thought is not enough to make him speak ill of Helene, who supported Bayam and defeated the Feysac navy.
Thinking of this, the expression on his hard-line face softened a little. Just as he was about to say something, a bishop wearing a robe embroidered with lightning patterns walked quickly behind him and reported to him:
"'Sea King'Your Excellency, the representatives of the resistance have arrived at Bayam."
"Oh, they came to negotiate terms at this time because they think we are busy dealing with the navy of Feysac and Intis and there is nothing we can do against them?"
"Sea King" sneered like a bell, glanced at Helene beside him, and ordered:
"Bring him to see me, right here, and let him see with his own eyes the fate of the Feysac navy, so as not to have any strange illusions."
Helene looked at his exaggerated performance with cold eyes and said nothing.
If Miss Angelica hadn't asked her to express goodwill to Church of Storms of Bayam and the colonial army at such a critical moment and strive for more benefits for "Dream City" Partis, she would rather take the fleet to the Southern Continent for a stroll. After the war is over, no matter who the new owner of the Rhoside Islands is, they will need Partis as a transit station leading to the Southern Continent, and they can completely remain neutral.
Thoughts in his heart continued, Helene watched the representative of the Rhoside Islands resistance slowly approaching.
Although he was wearing a cloak that covered most of his face, Helene could easily recognize him due to the strands of short blond hair and his dark blue eyes.
It was Danitz Dibwa, the "flame" who once sold her Shadow Cloak. Sailor Chief, who first served as Miss Angelica's servant for a period of time, and was then sent by "Golden Dream" to contact the rebels. How did he become a representative of the rebels?
Feeling Helene's confused gaze, Danitz raised his head slightly, and suddenly realized that he also recognized Red Haired Woman next to "Sea King".
The exchange of glances between the two made "Sea King" on the side frown, and invisible lightning seemed to appear on the dock, making everyone except Helene feel their skin numb and their hair stand on end.
Danitz then remembered the purpose of taking the risk to come to Church of Storms Archbishop, and said after careful consideration:
"I bring with me the goodwill of the Resistance, and the... requests of my Lord."
"'Sea God' Kalvetua has fallen. No matter who you believe in, is it possible to defend Bayam after we withdraw and ensure the interests of Loen immigrants? With a fleet of this size, you cannot resist for half an hour with all your strength!"
Yarn Courtman asked with a sneer, pointing to the unsinked shipwrecks behind him.
"What scale?"
Danitz asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"That's all..."
Sea King in front of him repeated as if he was irritated. Looking back, he realized that Danitz was not provoking him.
The sea outside the port was shrouded in a thick fog, which seemed a bit unreal, and the wreckage of the ships that were originally floating on the sea disappeared.
On top of Gray Fog, Klein threw Velvet Curtain, which contained the characteristics of "Mystic Seer", back into the pile of debris behind him, and reused the power of "Sefirah Castle" to suppress it.
Just now, he used this Beyonder Characteristic, and with the help of Sefirah Castle, he showed an almost miraculous effect, shocking the "Sea King" of Sequence 3.
"In this way, that Yarn Courtman should seriously consider the proposal of the rebels... This is also for their own good. It can free up manpower from the Rhoside Islands, allowing Church of Storms and Loen Navy to regain the upper hand in the battle for sea control, and the Rhoside Islands can also be handed over to the locals for self-governance, while retaining most of the interests currently owned by Loen..."
He muttered, quite satisfied with his attempt to switch from "key politics" to "actual combat".
"In this way, I have done everything I can, and the subsequent situation outside is beyond my control... I hope Loen's two lines of defense can last longer, until Goddess's condition improves, and gain an advantage in the war between God, or at least maintain the balance of power and force the opponent to the negotiating table.
"I hope Melissa and Benson are fine. With my pension and the care of 'Justice' Miss, they will not go hungry, but it will be hard to say if Backlund falls...
"Huh, I can't think about these things anymore, I have to maintain the best condition to enter 'Giant King’s Court'..."
The cascading sounds echoed in the empty palace, and Spirit Body of Klein returned to Physical World.
He was not in City of Silver at this time, but in the dusk light that seemed to be frozen in "Giant King’s Court".
At this time, City of Silver's exploration team should be about to set off, and Angel is also rushing to the depths of the Berserk Sea, ready to cross over at any time through the altar connecting the inside and outside of Forsaken Land of the Gods.
Before that, Klein plans to use Historical Void Image to explore it first, just to get a feel for it.
In this way, if an accident occurs, Team City of Silver will have a plan to deal with it without having to pay the price with their own lives.
Carefully pulling out his own projection half an hour ago, Klein got into the Great Old One city in front of First Epoch inside Historical Void, letting the false Klein step into the orange-red dusk light.
In the square in front of City of Silver, Twin Towers.
The "Chief" Colin Iliad, whose hair has turned gray and whose face is intertwined with spells and scars, is carrying two Straight Sword on his back; he takes off his black and purple patterned robe and puts on a suit of dark armor. Luvia Tiffany hid her soft silver-gray curly hair in her visor; Derrick Berg, whose eyes had dimmed light, was holding a giant hammer with a handle like a leg bone and a surface wrapped with electric light.
In addition to these three Saint, City of Silver will also send a whole escort team. They will not enter "Giant King’s Court", but all the battles before this will be solved by them, leaving the best condition for Colin, Lovia and Derrick.
After everyone confirmed that they were ready, they carried lanterns made of animal skins and walked along the central axis of the city to the city gate under the expectant and admiring eyes of a City of Silver resident.
Another elder of "Council of Six", Waite Chirmont, who was recently promoted to "Silver Knight", stood by the door and pushed open the heavy door for them with his own hands.
Without speaking a word, the group silently left the light of the fire at the city gate and walked a certain distance in the dim light of the lantern. They stopped in unison and looked back at City of Silver.
Almost all the residents gathered around the door and did not disperse. Looking at Expedition Team, they all performed the same action: straightening their waists, raising their right fists, and placing them against their foreheads.
This is City of Silver's respect for heroes and blessing for travelers.
Derrick felt hot in his heart and wished he could rush to Giant King’s Court right now, open the door to the outside world, and lead all the tribesmen towards the light. Even the usually calm and composed "chief" Colin narrowed his eyes and stood for a long time under everyone's gaze.
Finally, he turned around, raised his right arm, and pointed in the direction of "Giant King’s Court".
"Let's go!"
