Edge of the Divine Realm, Ryan's Rising Fame in the Imperial Capital

Gerald Noble Territory.

In front of a transparent mirror, Cleric Awen stood, his hands dripping with blood, and the mirror in front of him was gradually covered by Holy Radiance. Finally, a gorgeous palace scene appeared.

That is from the church of Holy Mountain. The noble Pope of Dawn is sitting quietly on the throne of faith, looking at this section in the mirror, Cleric Awen is in a state of embarrassment.

"What kind of power is that? Why is the Lord's [Kingdom of Heaven] also Dispel."

Cleric Awen asked, he was confused and angry, that was the power of the Lord, it should be invincible, but this time all his power was restrained.

He has been atoning for his sins in Abyss for so long that he doesn't know what the world has become now.

Faced with his description, Pope also showed doubts and surprise, then began to flip through the books in his hands, and finally said:

"What you are facing is the remains of the Deities country. The original madman Rice of the empire called it Edge of the Divine Realm."

"The Kingdom of Heaven where Deities is located are all exclusive. Even my master's Kingdom of Heaven cannot cover the Kingdom of Heaven of other Great Being. This is a sign of respect."

"Pascal obtained the remains of [Edge of the Divine Realm]. The power of the Divine Art: Heavenly Kingdom cannot punish him unless you can break the space on the surface of his body, which is the edge of the Divine Kingdom."

"How is this possible?"

Cleric Awen became sluggish. Only by breaking the boundary of that space can Edge of the Divine Realm be broken. That is the original power of Great Being.

"Nothing is impossible. There are too many Deitiess that have fallen. The [Edge of the Divine Realm] they left behind are extremely fragile. Even Legendary may destroy them."

"You have this power, but..."

Pope looked at Aven, with no ups and downs of emotion in his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly laughed, causing the mirror that connected the distance to shake.

"Pascal's desire to kill you is too strong. He knows all your methods. If you don't want to sink into that Eternity seal of hollow despair, then you'd better atone for your sins."

Cleric Awen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. At this moment, his extremely pious expression was gone.

"I have completed my atonement. Everything we did on Path of Dawn has completed our atonement."

"That is not your credit. Any results on Path of Dawn belong to Holy Kingdom Knights's loyalty to our Lord, and there is no place for anyone else."

"Crusaders still needs real atonement."

"Bring back the faith of the northern lands and you will truly complete your own redemption."

Pope also became tougher. He is Pope, and he also holds the power to pardon Atonement Army. On the contrary, Atonement Army has no confidence or qualifications to refute him.

Cleric Awen has no choice. Pope can send him back to Abyss, or he can directly judge his death.

"One more thing."

Cleric Awen picked up Gargoyle's head. Blood was still seeping into the crack. Only one of Gargoyle's heads was still alive. He bit Aven crazily. There was a human-like emotion of resentment in the stone eyes.

"What are these things... exactly?"

"I don't know."

Faced with this problem, Pope has become a little impatient. What he urgently wants now is the faith of the northern land, rather than playing a question-and-answer game with Cleric Awen.

"Those Blasphemers in the empire all gained their power from the origin of Deities. Pascal surpassed Mute Ascetics and controlled Gargoyle. No one knows their power."

"Remember Aven, you are a sinner of Dawn. If you want to enter Eternal Kingdom of Heaven to serve our great Lord, you must complete your atonement."

"Bringing that land back to the Lord's arms is your only chance."

"You have no choice, heretic Mute Ascetics."

Pope was not polite at all. He waved his angry hand and turned the mirror into fragments. The shattered mirror looked extraordinarily ordinary, just made of polished crystal.

Cleric Awen remained silent on the spot. After a long time, he knelt on the ground and began to pray devoutly. Dawn's Holy Radiance fell on his body, like a snow-white priest's robe.

Gerald organized an army of thirty thousand people, led by hundreds of knights, crossed the river and entered the land of the Andara Kingdom.

At the same time, Sera Kingdom also sent troops into the Andara Kingdom. The noble Sera King showed his loyalty to Dawn, and still put huge pressure on the Andara Kingdom after repeated failures.

The Loren·Columbus Royal Family bloodline took the initiative to go south to fight against the Griffin Legion. He could not let Two-legged Wyvern die more, so he began to avoid the Crusader Atonement Army.

For this reason, Gargoyle Legion had to face the Atonement Army of the Church head-on, but not long after, Witch Ghost Legion of Grand Duke Leta also went to the east.

There is no way, because Witch Ghosts's behavior towards human beings has once again rejected the nobles. South's war obviously has no Witch Ghosts area, and the nobles are also afraid that Witch Ghosts will deal a devastating blow to the morale of their soldiers on the battlefield.

Fortunately, the Orcs in the north had been driven back, and the Winged Gorge ordinary army led by Otis·Brooks, the original legion from the empire, followed Wyvern Legion to the south.

Loren gave a good reason. The army led by Otis was originally an affiliated army of the Wyvern Legion in Winged Gorge. They usually fought for the Wyvern Legion. It would be better to follow South this time.

Obviously, this Imperial House bloodline, after experiencing a failure, was eager to find his own political allies. Only in this way could he give a suitable explanation to the emperor.

Another war broke out in the south, but this time, both Wyvern Legion and Griffin Legion cherished their feathers to the point where they did not risk their lives to fight. Neither side dared to expand their Extraordinary Legion losses.

In the east direction, the outcome of the war was similar. Without the huge Two-legged Wyvern, the Gargoyle flying all over the sky could not cause a devastating blow to the Crusader Atonement Army. The main reason was that the power of the Legendary was too powerful in the army.

Witch Ghost Legion held back most of Crusaders's ground troops, and the sky was handed over to Pascal, but the count only wanted to kill the priest Aven Griffith.

The battlefields in the south and east just persisted, and people died every day, but it was difficult for the people who died every day to really change the direction of the war.

"How long did you say before?"

"Ten days?"

Ryan is eagerly awaiting Zero Crossing City. Gargoyle Legion has been to the east for ten days, and the results from the first day have exceeded everyone's expectations.

The kingdom's army failed to resist Griffin Legion, causing Andara Kingdom's dignity to be pressed to the ground and rubbed again. Ryan didn't know how much face Andara Kingdom still had to squander.

Wyvern Legion and Gargoyle Legion also failed to win an overwhelming victory over Crusaders. There are many reasons, but the nobles always only look at the results.

Ryan has reason to believe that ten days ago, when the war just started, the empire mainly believed that the two Extraordinary Legion would solve Crusader Atonement Army as quickly as possible, and then let the empire's focus once again shift to the main battlefield of South.

The same goes for the Church. The power of the Crusader Atonement Army has been demonstrated on Path of Dawn. They should have immediate results when they go to the North. They will exchange their lives for another great glory of Church of Dawn and lead the weak kingdom land back to the embrace of Lord of Dawn.

The result made everyone dissatisfied, but it was an undisputed fact that the war persisted.

Legendary can change the battlefield. However, both sides have the same number of Legendary in the east. What about the south? No one has Legendary, and Sera King [Wind Emperor] obviously can't conduct the expedition in person without any grace.

The result that Loren wants should be like this. Without Legendary, Two-legged Wyvern cannot be harmed on a large scale.

In short, at this time, the two sides in the war are not competing for extraordinary combat power, but for the durability of both sides' logistics.

People eat what horses chew. As long as there is a war, soldiers will eat more than usual and consume more resources than usual.

Andara Kingdom has a deeper foundation than Sera Kingdom, but Two-legged Wyvern can eat better than anyone else. It's similar in the east. Those Witch Ghosts need to drink blood, Gargoyle... Gargoyle also needs to eat, and they eat Magic Crystal.

The life born by Magic-Immunity Stone needs magic to maintain its vitality, which is very magical.

"So, now Gerald Noble Territory, are you going to invite the old [Moonlight] knight Tiffany to come out?"

Ryan put away the letter and looked towards the horizon. This war has fallen into the sunk cost stage. No matter which side is unable to bear the cost of failure, and cannot break the situation on the existing basis, then they can only continue to increase their bets.

The Legendary Knight of Gerald must be dispatched. They are loyal believers of Church of Dawn. The Knight Tiffany is probably helpless. He is bound by the blood of Gerald.

What about the empire?

As expected, the emperor is going to give orders to [Ivy] Aven again, asking him to participate in the war. This Legendary Mage worshiper faces the [Moonlight] Knight. It is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. In this case...

Isn't it a stalemate again?

Ryan's guess was good. On the battlefield to the east of the Andara Kingdom, three Legendary including Cleric Awen on the Church's side, Crusader Atonement Army, and Gerald's [Moonlight] knights participated in the war.

On the other side, Count Pascal of Legendary, [Rampaging Elephant] of Legendary, Knight Darryl, Witch Ghosts of Legendary Anla·Leta, and [Ivy] Aven.

The eight Legendary fought until the sky was dark... No, it should have been the sky that shone brightly and the earth fell. The Holy Radiance of Dawn fell down and purified everything. The power of Legendary was difficult for the whole world to bear.

That river is the river on the boundary between the Andara Kingdom and Gerald Noble Territory.

Originally it was only a few meters wide, but now it has turned into a huge Rift. Not to mention the width, the depth has reached ten or twenty meters. Rift is full of ruins, cracked stones, and powdered soil.

Legendary's unscrupulous actions changed the terrain, but they failed to change the situation of the war between the two sides.

Pope was very dissatisfied with this result, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Florian Empire also had a gloomy expression.

They all couldn't wait to show off their force on the real battlefield between the two sides.

"Aven is an atonement priest who wants to receive the blessing of defeating [Edge of the Divine Realm]."

Pope asked, Dawn how the great power of faith can be used to bless a sinner.

On the empire side, the emperor also invited many nobles.

"On the east side of the empire, the North, the human civilization, is far away from Church of Dawn. The Church's power is extremely weak there. On that land, another tragedy like Path of Dawn must not happen."

"The war of the North must be won."

The emperor's majesty was unquestionable, but the nobles were a little embarrassed.

"The closest army to that side is Winged Gorge. Wyvern Legion has already been dispatched. The remaining Rampaging Elephant Legion must stay at Winged Gorge."

"Count Pascal of Danube Province has already participated in the war. If it's more recent, it's Volga Province and Blazing Snow Province."

"Volga Province's army is now transporting food to the south and cannot go to the north at all. As for Blazing Snow Province... there has just experienced a war against Orcs. There are disasters and Magical Beast threats everywhere. Without the army, the lives of many nobles will be threatened."

There are only a few places away from the battlefield of the kingdom, and it would be inappropriate to go any further. Moreover, the armies of provinces no matter how far away are now concentrated in the south of the empire. How could they return to the north before the war is over?

"Is it necessary to rely on that trash Loren? And Count Pascal, what kind of hatred does he have with the Church, so that he can abandon the victory of the war at the expense!"

When it came to this, the emperor became very angry. It was so difficult.

Although in Imperial Capital, he also knew what happened in the kingdom, Loren actually caused Wyvern Legion to suffer heavy losses.

No one doubts Count Pascal now, but the distrust of Count Pascal continues to deepen.

Why is it so troublesome?

"Why don't we let Northwind Province join the battle?"

The one who spoke was His Highness Elector Volvo, who won a beautiful war in West Coast.

For Volvo, if the victorious war cannot be shown off and publicized everywhere for the nobles to see, then the victory will be meaningless.

So he returned to Imperial Capital to let all the nobles see his abilities and abilities, and let more nobles recognize and support him.

"When Northwind Province and Extraordinary Legion faced Werewolves, it was almost history. They could not decide the outcome of the war."

Some nobles disagree. What level is Extraordinary Legion in the Kingdom War now? How can Northwind Province be qualified to participate in the war?

"The kingdom is currently in an anxious state of war, and the decision to decide the war may not require the new Extraordinary Legion, but a strong enough command."

Volvo Elector said that although West Coast has received praise and recognition from many nobles, he still will not give up recruiting nobles from Northwind Province.

Just like how Grand Duke Mayers describes the three Elector.

Elector Volvo is like a chess player Monarch. He is good at political struggles, balancing interests and using compromises. He is a natural aristocrat.

Elector Floyd is more like a powerful warrior and general, leading the army and soldiers to a glorious victory of blood and fire.

Volvo returned with victory. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the rejection when he invited Ryan, he never doubted Baron Ryan's military talent and ability.

"Baron Ryan has reasonable status and power in the Andara Kingdom. He is qualified to command the kingdom's army. Now the kingdom's war requires such an outstanding Military Commander to gain the faith of the northern land for the empire."

"Light should expand, not defend."

When the emperor heard what Volvo said, he couldn't help but nodded. Of course, it didn't matter whether what Elector said was correct or not.

The key is that Kingdom War has now fallen into a sunk cost state, and what is needed is not correct decision-making, but quantitative investment.

It doesn't matter who or what he is, as long as it can be thrown into the kingdom and increase the chips of victory, then the emperor will agree.

But...

He looked at the successor of Grand Duke Mayers, Chrysus·Meyers.

The grand duke is old, and the emperor doesn't like to see those four old people who are qualified to accuse him, so usually their successors and heirs appear in front of the emperor as representatives.

Although Elector's proposal is very tempting, Columbus III still has to face it.

He had secretly reached a deal with Grand Duke Mayers before, and the power of Northwind Province was temporarily handed over to Meyers. As a political compromise, the emperor could not easily bypass Meyers and directly deal with Northwind Province.

This is a deal, and it just so happens that Grand Duke Mayers and the emperor reached the deal on an equal footing.

If it were an earl noble, the emperor wouldn't have to worry about this.

He can give the order, but he needs the support of Meyers.

Chrysus agreed without any hesitation.

It's not that he deliberately wants that Northern Baron to be in the limelight, but Chrysus remembers his father's decision to strangle Baron Ryan in the cradle. They have failed once. Now Baron Ryan is hiding in his own territory and cannot come out, and no one can find a chance.

If you want to kill him, you must first create an opportunity to kill him.

Is there any better opportunity than a war, a war with close to double digits Legendary?

Legendary's power spreads and can easily defeat the defense around Baron Ryan.

Chrysus thought so, so he also agreed with Elector Volvo's proposal.

In the eyes of other nobles, this was Mayers Grand Ducal Family's political support for Elector, whom they supported, confirming that Grand Duke Mayers really chose Elector Volvo.

After all, the last time the Grand Duke personally wanted to punish Northern Baron, it was obvious that the relationship between the two parties was not good, but now it seems that because of Elector Volvo's decision, Meyers has also made a compromise.

The nobles all thought so, even His Highness Elector Volvo and His Majesty the Emperor thought so. Chrysus looked at the expressions of the nobles with some satisfaction, so no one would know that his true purpose was to kill Ryan.
