These words reveal a lot of information.
First, Allianz City is home to the long-established Southern Region hegemon Bayern Munich Empire, with a deep foundation, strong strength, and greater support capabilities.
Secondly, the journey to Allianz City is only a few hundred thousand miles away, making it the shortest route. The number of local demons encountered along the way should be the fewest, and if one is defeated, there are more ways to retreat.
Finally, the Holy Power the Church's priests is unparalleled by any magical healing spell. Having a priest with you in the army is undoubtedly an extra layer of insurance for your life during wartime.
Of course, the most important thing is that Rosario's words were full of threat. This choice is tantamount to demanding that the major empires finally state their position. Once they choose to Holy Church, they will undoubtedly face the Church's sanctions. The Red-Black Empire and the Blue-Black and Black Empire in the Central Region are the best examples.
This threat did indeed have an effect.
Before he could finish speaking...
Commanders from over fifty empires, including Barcelona and Juventus, who had previously been stationed on the south bank of the Lancang River, all expressed their willingness to follow the Church to the southeast to rescue the Bayern Munich Empire.
Even the four or five imperial commanders who were originally stationed on the north bank, after a little consideration, bowed their heads and joined the Church's camp.
As a result, of the nearly 800,000 troops, at least 500,000 joined the Church's camp.
The remaining imperial troops, numbering less than 300,000, faced immense pressure and chose to side with the Northern Region Empire, willing to journey together to the more distant and dangerous city of Dortmund di du Iduna City.
The Holy Church, after all, has been operating for a long time and its influence is deeply rooted in people's hearts, which is evident from this.
"Heh heh, it seems most people don't have much confidence in the Northern Region Empire and Her Highness the Imperial Consort." Seeing that the tide was turning in his favor, Rosario began to mock with a forced smile, thinking he had won back a tenth of the battle.
However, to his dismay, the Valkyrie Elena stood silently among the army from beginning to end, as if she hadn't heard a thing and hadn't even glanced at them.
Shaarawy, however, burst into laughter.
"Old dog, you're speaking too soon. As far as I know, both the Dwarf and Gnome Alliance and the Elf Empire have responded to this alliance, expressing their willingness to join. Now, there's still half a day left until the fifteen-day deadline. When they arrive, they might just join my Northern Region Empire!"
"Exactly, I wonder if you, you bastard, will still be able to laugh so disgustingly and brightly then." Cassano retorted without missing a beat.
Rosario paused slightly, then threw his head back and laughed heartily, "Two stray dogs! I won't stoop to your level! Haha, the fifteen-day deadline has passed, yet we haven't seen the appearance of the elf, dwarf, and gnome armies, nor have we received any response from these two major forces. You are truly naive, actually expecting these alien races to actually help Human Clan..."
Before the words had even finished --
Boom!
A bolt of green lightning suddenly struck down from the sky without warning.
Suddenly, a huge crater appeared on the ground, about ten meters in diameter and bottomless. The Rock around the crater were smooth as if they had been polished with water, reflecting sunlight. It did not seem like a natural disaster at all, but rather like a work of art.
While everyone was wondering--
Suddenly, a tender green shoot of grass and plant, like a mischievous child, poked its head out of the dark pit, swaying in the wind, and then grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The speed at which these tender shoots grow is astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, a miraculously enormous green tree, so tall that it would take a hundred people to encircle it, and covered with lush green leaves, appeared before everyone's eyes. Its canopy was so large that it covered an area of nearly three or four hundred meters around.
The wind rustled the leaves, making a sound as soft and plaintive as smoke, like a chant from the ancient wilderness, or War Song of spirits drifting on the battlefield.
Wisps of green mist hung down from the branches and fell to the ground, quickly forming strange green magic circles.
A thunderous roar of magic erupted.
One after another, Elf Clan, clad in ancient green armor, with handsome figures, pointed ears, and fair skin covered with naturally occurring green magical runes, emerged from the green magic circle.
Elf!
Green Elves!
These are the legendary warriors of the Elf Clan.
The Elf Clan have really arrived!
What a shocking entrance!
That green lightning bolt, I don't know what kind of magical power it was, could actually set up Teleport in the air and continuously Teleport the Elf Clan army over. It must be a unique way of transporting troops for the Elf Clan.
Just a moment ago Rosario was saying that the Elf Clan couldn't possibly come, and now they've shown up. This is truly karma, a blatant slap in the face!
The power to transport energy from this giant green tree is truly extraordinary.
In less than seven or eight minutes, a full six thousand extremely powerful Elf Clan magic archer warriors emerged from the green Teleport and arrived below the altar.
The leading commander was a female elven priestess who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
She wore a crown woven from green tree branches, but upon closer inspection, the branches resembled metal, shimmering with an unusual luster and faintly containing an astonishing magical aura.
This female elf had a beautiful face, appearing to be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Her eyes were clear and pure, yet contained the wisdom of a philosopher who had seen through the vicissitudes of life. Her figure was curvaceous and extremely voluptuous. She wore only armor woven from branches and leaves, which covered her breasts and the vital parts between her waist and abdomen. Most of the rest of her body was exposed to the air. Her fair skin, as white as cow's milk, was covered with beautiful green runes, making her even more alluring and captivating, possessing an irresistible charm.
Judging from his attire, he should be an extremely powerful Elf Clan priest of the Moon Temple.
She rode a terrifying Beast Imperial Class white tiger, three meters tall, surpassing the height of ordinary warhorses. Its aura was astonishing, giving off an extremely holy feeling. The priestess held a staff that looked like a tree branch, and her delicate and frail appearance made people feel sorry for her.
" The Elf Clan, led by the White Tiger Priestess Susanna of the Moon Temple, has arrived to participate in the alliance meeting with six thousand level six Elven archers!"
The priestess's voice was clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a secluded valley, so pleasant that it brought a sense of comfort to the listener, just like her alluring appearance.
"So it's an expert from the Elf Empire! Welcome, welcome..."
Cardinal Rosario, who had previously been certain the elves wouldn't come, greeted them with a beaming smile.
Everyone could see just how powerful these 6,000 level 6 elven magic archers and the White Tiger Priestess were.
At such a time, he naturally wanted to win the Elf Clan over to the side of the Church.
If this alliance can bring the Elf Empire and the Holy Church closer and ultimately lead to a formal alliance, then the Church will gain a decisive advantage in the Western Region, and the annihilation of the Madrid Empire will be just around the corner.
Rosario introduced himself and adopted the most humble and amiable demeanor.
He was confident that his approachable manner would allow him to strike up a conversation with the White Tiger Priestess Susanna, but to his surprise, the Cardinal's warm welcome was met with an icy indifference.
The White Tiger Priestess didn't even glance at him.
Susanna glanced around sweetly, her gaze pausing slightly as it swept over Valkyrie Elena before Earth Inquiry, "Which one of you is His Majesty Alexander, the Human Emperor of the Northern Region?"
Rosario felt a chill run down his spine, a bad premonition creeping over him.
The others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why the White Tiger Priestess had asked such a question. Could it be...?
"His Majesty did not come in person. It was Princess Elena who led the Northern Region Army to conquer the Earthly Realm this time," Shaarawy said calmly and loudly.
The White Tiger Priestess showed a hint of surprise on her face.
Shaarawy briefly described what had happened before.
"Oh, it's Her Highness Princess Elena. Susanna's apologies." The White Tiger Priestess, seated atop her divine white tiger beast, bowed respectfully to the Valkyrie. After a moment's thought, she said, "It's truly a pity I couldn't witness the majesty of the Human Emperor of the Northern Region. Since the Human Clan has decided to split into two groups, and the Northern Region Empire's forces are slightly smaller, with Her Highness the Princess leading the army, and being women themselves, it should be easier for them to get along. Therefore, the Elf Clan army will join the Northern Region army!"
This reasoning was extremely frank, and no one could really say anything about it.
Having said that, without waiting for Rosario to offer any further explanation, the delicate White Tiger High Priestess led six thousand level-six elven archers to join the Northern Region Army.
The Archbishop stood frozen in place.
His face flushed red and then paled with embarrassment as he stared at the White Tiger Priestess's figure. A hidden glint of resentment flickered in his long, slanted eyes, clearly showing that he hated the entire Elf Clan.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's set off..."
Having been repeatedly humiliated by two stunningly beautiful women, the Archbishop, feeling utterly humiliated, didn't want to stay on the Paris Island for another second and immediately suggested leaving.
But today, it seems even the heavens are playing a cruel joke on him.
Before he could finish speaking...
Boom!
Boom!!
The ground on the Paris Island suddenly shook violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
What happened?
"An earthquake?"
"We've been attacked?"
Is the island going to sink?
A wave of panic swept through the crowd. Flames flickered, countless figures flashed, and the powerful figures took to the sky.
Just then, a massive Rock, tens of meters wide, beside the altar suddenly cracked open, and a black, wildly spinning head emerged from the soil beneath Rock, growing larger and larger...
In the end, the drill bit's root had reached a diameter of ten meters, and like a fish swimming in shallow water, it 'swam' out of the hard soil and sand with great agility.
What kind of monster is this?
All the powerful figures were on high alert, and the army drew their swords and spears, ready for battle.
A minute or two later, the black rotating drill finally came to a slow stop, and a huge 'warship'-like monster, about 500 meters long, appeared in everyone's sight.
The monster was covered in smooth, black scales that rippled like water. It resembled a pangolin-like monster, but it had no limbs and a remarkably graceful, streamlined body. However, it was impossible to detect any magical or Dou Qi aura from its entire body, which is why none of the many powerful figures present had noticed its existence.
"This is..." someone seemed to have realized something.
Just then, streaks of silver light suddenly appeared on the monster's abdomen, followed by the appearance of a magical portal.
As everyone held their breath in anticipation, a tiny figure, only about one meter tall, emerged from the portal. This tiny figure looked exactly like a human, with long golden hair, a straight body, and delicate features. He wore a tight-fitting, earth-yellow battle robe consisting of a top and trousers, and leather boots, giving him a very capable and fierce appearance.
"A celestial being?" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
According to legend, earth spirits are short in stature, possess many magical and mechanical technologies, and are elusive.
"Who the hell is a gnome? That guy who gave birth to a son without an anus, are you kidding me? He actually called me a gnome? Damn it, I'm a beautiful and adorable dwarf, you know what a dwarf is? Concentrated essence is the best, and I am the best!"
This beautiful and adorable little person, upon hearing the words "earth spirit," jumped up and down cursing as if someone had poked her in the butt, looking like she was ready to fight to the death.
dwarf?
So... the last remaining faction— the Dwarf and Gnome Alliance —has finally revealed itself?
The human powerhouse who had exclaimed "Earth Spirit" earlier was scolded until his face turned red and his neck bulged, but he couldn't retaliate.
Indeed, he made a common-sense mistake. Although dwarves and goblins are both short races, they are very different. The most obvious difference is that dwarves are usually very handsome, dignified, well-dressed, and have skin like humans, while goblins are an ugly and vile race with sharp teeth, green skin, and a foul stench.
But aren't dwarfs supposed to be a very polite and compassionate race in legends?
Why is this blond little guy swearing so much?
As they spoke, many more short, handsome dwarfs emerged from the portal. There were men and women, all dressed almost identically in tight-fitting outfits, with bulging pouches at their waists (the contents of which were unclear), two magical gunpowder guns slung across their backs, and berets on their heads. They looked extremely dashing and capable. If Sun Fei were here, he would surely exclaim in surprise, "Are these dwarfs some kind of copycat of the British Royal Guard's uniform from my previous life?"
The second dwarf to emerge was a woman, very beautiful, like a miniature elf, with a black ponytail and large, clear eyes like a mountain spring. She eagerly covered the first dwarf's mouth, her face flushed, and explained to the surrounding crowd, "I'm sorry, this boy often hangs out with dwarves and has picked up bad habits. Please forgive him."
Third and fourth updates.
