After the battle in the Chaotic Territory, the Radiant Church's upper-tier fighting strength had fallen sharply. When Heidens returned to Holy Island, his face was as dark as the sky before a storm.
He urgently needed new strength to join them. The descent of angels was the best solution-large numbers of angels could replenish the Radiant Church's fighting strength in a short time, which was crucial to reclaiming the Holy Union's territory. Although the Day of Destruction had destroyed most of the Holy Union, some duchies and city-states remained. Their people were frightened and unsettled, making this a good time to gather their faith once more.
As for where the bodies would come from, that was where the vast intelligence network came in. Heidens ordered all the Church's intelligence agencies to work at full capacity, searching for suitable targets-the bodies of warriors at Level Six or above, the stronger the better. Sometimes, even grave digging was necessary. Those dead experts lay buried underground, their bodies not yet fully decomposed; once dug up, they could be used. The Church's spies gathered information by day and dug up graves and opened coffins by night, working more professionally than grave robbers.
Heidens also sent people to negotiate for the Dark Church's secret potion. Though that woman Affleck was difficult to deal with, he was straightforward about this matter. A formula for a sacred item treasured by the Church was exchanged for the method of making the Flesh and Blood Potion. They now had a common enemy-Loa. After fighting for centuries, the two great Churches stood on the same side in this matter for the first time.
