Because other Tarot Club members had either just been promoted or were stuck at a certain critical stage, no one proposed other deals, and the party quickly entered the stage of sharing information and insights.

There is no doubt that the news of Feysac's brazen sneak attack and Loen Kingdom's declaration of war three days ago became the focus of discussion at the long bronze table.

"The newspaper is a little vague. How big is the loss of Backlund?"

"Hanged Man" Alger, still disguised as a pirate captain and driving Ghost Ship around the Berserk Sea, asked, his eyes naturally stopping at "Justice", "Magician" and other members who were sure to live in that big city.

"Feysac dispatched a total of fifty airships. Using the cover of thick fog from the north, they attacked thousands of miles at night and directly entered North Borough of Backlund. After the first wave of bombing, the troops divided into two groups to go to West Borough and East Borough launched an attack on the political center of Loen and the important factory of East Borough... The death toll exceeded 1,200 people, and the injured were all over the hospital. Fortunately, after treatment, most of them will not leave permanent disabilities."

Audrey opened his mouth to answer and glanced at "The World" inadvertently.

Then, she looked at "Empress" Miss and found that she was just listening to the conversation quietly, so she continued:

"At that time in North Borough, 'Empress' Miss intercepted most of the airships, allowing Backlund's Three Great Churches and the military to have enough reaction time, otherwise the casualties would have been several times that."

"Empress" actually participated in that battle?

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the slender figure next to Mr. Fool. They couldn't imagine that she had blocked dozens of airships by herself and still escaped unscathed.

You must know that as a Feysac army supported by God of War Church and Einhorn Family, the airship that dares to directly enter Backlund must be garrisoned by High Sequence's Beyonder. The strength cannot be judged by the sheer number of soldiers.

Realizing the expectation in everyone's eyes, Angel took over the conversation with a somewhat sad tone:

"I happened to be at North Borough at the time and did a little bit of work... The 'War Bishop' who led the team finally escaped. There was a 'Weather Warlock' on the outskirts of the city, but I did not chase him out."

"Sequence 3'War Bishop' of Hunter Pathway's and Sequence 2'Weather Warlock'..."

Cattleya added with a hint of awe. As "Mystery Pryer" Demigod, her knowledge reserve far exceeds that of other Pathway.

Sequence 3, who came with an airship to raid, could only flee in front of "Empress" Miss, and it sounds like he wouldn't even be able to escape if it weren't for the protection of Angel behind him...

Alger, who was sitting opposite Angel, felt his eyelids jump. He felt more and more that this member who joined Tarot Club with him and was obviously just a Low Sequence member at the time was getting farther and farther away from him.

Of course, it means that the other party is running far ahead.

He was still somewhat looking forward to getting the opportunity to be promoted to Demigod in the next change of situation, at least to "settlement" the promotion of "Ocean Songster" within the church. After all, on the surface, he It is still just "Wind-blessed" of Sequence 6, but it has been a few days since the war started, and he and "Blue Avenger" have not received orders from the church, and they seem to have been forgotten in a corner.

Alger thought about it and said:

"According to the information I received, Church of Storms's response to this war was not very active."

Hearing his vague description, Angel was a little confused.

In response to last Friday's air attack, although Church of Storms did not dispatch the stationed Demigod in time, Saint Wind Cathedral has been conducting long-range attacks on the airship troops, which greatly delayed the opponent's actions. Judging from the scene alone, the scene of countless Wind Blade and tornadoes flying in the sky is the most conspicuous.

Of course, from the perspective of Subordinate Deity's spirit game, Church of Storms's actions are also justified... Angel suddenly thought of the information he learned in the dreams of those who passed away in "The Travels of Grosell", and was about to make a few comments when the "world" Klein at the end of the long table suddenly said:

"Their negativity represents the attitude of God, and the attitude of God of Storms is contradictory... After all, 'Storm', 'Spectator', 'Sun', 'Secrets Suppliant' and 'Reader' are similar Pathway, and similar Pathway often become enemies..."

Not only will Pathway compete internally for "resources" and be wary of each other, but Adjacent Pathways will too?

Klein's somewhat uncertain words hit Alger's heart like a heavy hammer.

Being smart, he immediately thought of the reason for Church of Storms's negative attitude: they, or the "Lord of Storms" at the top of Sequence, were wary of the neighboring Sequence's "Eternal Blazing Sun", "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", and "Spectator" Adam who will become gods with the help of war!

On the one hand, He is worried that Intis will join the war and wants to resolve the dispute with Feysac with thunderous force. On the other hand, He is worried that the expansion of the war will help Adam, the heir of Ancient Sun God, whose body He once shared.

This is a God level war, a divine war... He suppressed the secret joy in his heart at seeing the essence of things and the sigh of looking up at God, and then asked:

"Do other Pathway have similar patterns?"

"'Demoness' is adjacent to 'Hunter', and the same is true for 'Evernight', 'God of Combat', and 'Death'."

Angel replied casually.

"Evernight and God of Combat... This partially explains why Feysac launched the war!"

"Star" Leonard blurted out, having a certain understanding of the high-level factors hidden behind the secular war.

No, Evernight Goddess's acquisition of "Death" Uniqueness should be the core factor that prompted Feysac to rush to the war... Angel muttered. Seeing that the topic had already started, he simply looked at Klein, who got the hint and took over the conversation:

"'Seer', 'Marauder' and 'Apprentice' also belong to Adjacent Pathways, and also comply with Beyonder Characteristic conservation and Aggregation Law.

"And as far as I know, recently Sequence 1's 'Seer' Angel, Secret Order leader Zarathus came to Backlund."

Compared to other people who just knew that three Pathways were adjacent to each other, Leonard was undoubtedly much more shocked after hearing these words.

There is a Angel named "Marauder" in his body!

No wonder the other Red Gloves teams left Backlund and went to other cities to support or garrison Holy Cathedral. Only my team didn't get the order at all and stayed in Backlund. This is because they want to use "Marauder" to deal with "Seer"... Goddess, I'm afraid I know my abnormality!

He suddenly felt a chill on his back and decided to discuss it with Old Man immediately after the party.

Others did not have his various thoughts, but were immersed in the discussion of the "division" of the twenty-two articles Beyonder Pathway.

"... In addition, 'Savant' and 'Mystery Pryer' are interchangeable in High Sequence, as are 'Arbiter' and 'Lawyer'."

"Hermit" Cattleya pushed up the heavy glasses on the bridge of his nose and shared his knowledge.

"What about Pathway adjacent to Apothecary?"

"Moon" Emlyn opposite her asked curiously.

"Planter" of Church of the Earth. "Cattleya answered casually.

Church of the Earth... I often clean, help preach, and distribute medicine Church of the Earth?

Emlyn's face froze, and he felt that he had been arranged by "Aggregation Effect".

This reminded him of the burly Priest. His thoughts were flowing in his mind. He looked sideways at "Star" beside him and asked in a low voice:

"Your official Beyonder, I mean if you were the official Beyonder, how would you treat the clergy of the hostile forces in this war?"

"Of course it's a decisive blow."

Leonard was also thinking about other things and answered the question almost without thinking about it.

"What if he didn't do anything bad and didn't intend to do anything bad? Just an ordinary bishop."

"Then lock him up and monitor him until the end of the war. This is called, well, protective custody."

During the low-pitched exchange between the two, other members also pieced together the connections between the remaining Pathway. "Criminal" and "Prisoner" can also be interchanged in High Sequence, but "monster" is not adjacent to any other Pathway, which is as weird as its name.

This incongruity, as if there was an extra object left after tidying up the desktop, made most of the members feel a little uncomfortable, and they also experienced the chaos and disorder at the deepest level of the extraordinary world.

The deep Red Light light dissipated, and "Justice" Audrey woke up from her office. The noisy people and the sound of horse hooves on the street outside the window reached her ears through the window, bringing this "Dreamwalker" back to reality from Tarot Club's discussion.

It's a pity that I can't watch Mr. "Sun"'s exploration of "Giant King’s Court" for a while. This is too Affliction for a "Spectator"... After "" The Travels of Grosell"Audrey, who became more and more interested in the history of the previous eras after exploring, thought in frustration. He opened the door, nodded to Susie who was guarding the outside, walked out of the office, and came to the lobby on the first floor of the Loen Charity Student Aid Fund meeting.

Compared to the clean and orderly atmosphere a week ago, the foundation's office building is now even more chaotic. Busy staff are running around in different offices. Temporarily placed medicines and food that will be delivered to various places are piled everywhere, making it almost impossible to stay.

But this scene made Audrey sigh with relief. The busier the foundation is, the faster the Gold Pound they own are being transformed into urgently needed medicines in hospitals and food expected by almshouses, instead of lying in the bank and earning interest.

At this moment, a deliberately lowered voice reached the ears of "Spectator":

"... A pound of bread has gone up by another quarter penny. The war has only started a few days ago, and this is already the second price increase... While East Borough those canned goods haven't gone up, you can stock up on more."

Price increase...Audrey's good mood was ruined instantly.

She knew that this kind of thing was inevitable in a war, but she didn't expect that it would be the same through the channels of contact with nobles whom she knew well. It can be imagined how exaggerated the prices in the normal market have become.

To ensure the sustainable development of the fund and to ensure that the "main business" of student aid is not affected, I'm afraid I have to donate some more money... She was calculating her savings and the additional property income she would get in the coming October. The staff member of the Ministry of Finance, who had the same surname as Mr. "World", Moretti, came forward, said hello in a reserved and polite manner, and then said:

"Miss Hall, just now a man with wheat-colored short hair came to the foundation and said that he wanted to do his part for the people who were injured in the war. Before I could explain that the foundation did not accept donations from outside, he left a package and left quickly... We chased him but couldn't find him..."

"What's in the package?"

Audrey asked the man with a kind smile on his hairline.

"A full 1,500 pounds in cash..."

This... At the dinner party to form Loen Charity Student Aid Fund, 1,500 pounds was considered a large donation. I only donated 1,000 pounds at that time... Audrey looked in the direction of the door in surprise, trying to find clues about the other party's actions, but except for Passerby and the carriage that the guard kept passing by, no clues were found.

He can be chased by several staff members. I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person... a wild Beyonder who is trying to show love?

Audrey thought for a moment and said to Benson·Moretti:

"Since it's the other party's kindness and we can't find him, let's keep the money, keep a record, and give it to the purchasing staff to buy more medicine and food."

According to the discussion on Tarot Club, the scale of this war will inevitably be further expanded with the promotion of many parties. By then, more materials will be able to help more people, instead of being hoarded by businessmen or left to rot in the basements of some noble houses.

Audrey's bright eyes were filled with a haze when he thought that the several manor houses in his family were filled with food that could last for several years for all the masters and servants to eat.
