Archbishop Link, however, did not seem concerned. He waved a hand. "It doesn't matter. Things are already bad enough for us. Xiweina Ye and the Destroyer King Kong Legion won't make much difference. Besides, the outcome of this war will no longer be decided on our battlefield."
A rare trace of helplessness crossed Archbishop Link's face. Once the Deities behind the various nations and organizations had intervened, the war had slipped beyond his control.
If he had been allowed to command it, the Holy Light Church would never have ended up in such dire straits. It would have unleashed its full strength long ago and summoned troops from across the Void Worlds.
With the Holy Light Church's resources, he could not promise more, but it could certainly muster three to five million troops, over ten thousand Legendary-Rank Strong Ones, and several hundred Calamities.
Even if the other nations joined forces, the Holy Light Church could steamroll them.
That was the depth of the Holy Light Church's power, something even the mighty Divine Eagle Empire could not come close to matching.
Unfortunately, when Archbishop Link proposed those measures, the Pontiff rejected them outright. The reason was simple: the great Lord of Light did not want the war to expand any further.
In the eyes of the Deities, this was merely a game, not a war for survival.
And a game needed rules and a measure of fairness. If one side simply overwhelmed the others with its resources, the game would lose its appeal, and the other Deities would overturn the table and refuse to play.
The Holy Light Church could therefore draw only on Number One Void World and limited outside support. It could not mobilize fully and fight without restraint.
That was why Archbishop Link, the supposed commander-in-chief, felt so
