The Azeroth Continent was thrown into turmoil as the Holy Church defeated the Dragon Clan and destroyed two human empires, while alliances and wars reshaped the Western, Eastern, and Southern Regions.

The remnants of the Red-Black empires reached the border of the Northern Region, hoping to find safety under Alexander’s protection, but Kao Shaoyi and four Holy Church enforcers caught up with them.

After the Battle of the Bay of Naples, the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church entered a tense military standoff while Sun Fei absorbed the battle’s gains and strengthened his empire.

• The Battle of the Bay of Naples convinced the continent that the Northern Region Empire had formidable armies and warriors as well as Sun Fei, and Golden Lion Lampard gained fame for defeating Atkinson.

• One month after the battle, the Northern Region Empire received a letter requesting aid from the Southern Region Human Alliance.

The Holy Church called the continent’s powers to unite against the Goblin Empire and assemble an allied army on Paris Island to aid the Human Clan of the Southern Region. Nearly seven hundred thousand troops gathered there, while empires wary of the Church hoped the Northern Region Empire and Sun Fei would join them and share its pressure.

• The Human Clan of the Southern Region appealed to the continent’s powers as goblins seized most of its land and threatened its last two great cities.
• The Holy Church proposed a joint campaign against the goblins, and most major powers, including the Dwarf and Gnome Alliance, agreed to send troops.

• The empires wary of the Holy Church hoped that the Human Emperor of the Northern Region would come to Paris Island and share the pressure from the Church.

The Northern Region Empire finally arrived at the alliance gathering after the Holy Church’s leader used divine power to crush and humiliate the northern-bank factions. Shaarawy and Cassano opened a portal for the empire’s army, and the chapter ended with a Valkyrie emerging as its commander.

• The Holy Church’s leader unleashed overwhelming Holy Power at the oath-taking altar, forcing the northern-bank experts to their knees while Gerrard, Rooney, Van Persie, Silva, and others resisted.

• A peerless Valkyrie emerged from the portal, and Shaarawy and Cassano addressed her as “Your Highness,” revealing her as the Northern Region army’s commander.

Valkyrie Elena silenced the Church’s provocations with a display of overwhelming power, revealing herself as Alexander’s consort. She then froze the Church fighters who charged her and shot down its highest representative, taking control of the altar.

• Elena’s arrow froze the charging Church fighters and struck the representative, who fell from the altar.
• Elena appeared atop the altar and looked down at the crowd, which dared not meet her gaze.

Elena's strength cowed the Church leader, revealed as Rosario, and she returned to the Northern Region army without speaking. Shaarawy proposed splitting the alliance's forces to aid two besieged cities, and Rosario invited empires to join the Church's campaign to Allianz City.

• Rosario charged Elena, but froze when his golden crown split open, revealing his face and the damage her arrow had dealt.
• The powerhouses recognized Rosario as a Church cardinal and realized Elena's arrow had been a warning she could have killed him.
• Elena returned to the Northern Region army, leaving the gathered empires too intimidated to challenge her.
• Shaarawy proposed dividing the alliance's army between a campaign to Allianz City and one to Iduna City, and most approved.
• Rosario announced that the Church would head southeast to aid Allianz City and offered protection, intelligence, and divine masters to empires that joined it.

Rosario tried to draw the gathered armies to the Holy Church’s side, but the Elf Clan arrived and joined Elena’s Northern Region force. The Dwarf and Gnome Alliance also appeared, though the chapter ended before their position was stated.

• More than five hundred thousand soldiers chose to follow Rosario southeast, while fewer than three hundred thousand joined the Northern Region force bound for Iduna City.
• Shaarawy and Cassano challenged Rosario’s claim that the Elf Clan would not come, and a green lightning bolt summoned a giant tree and elven teleportation arrays.
• Susanna arrived with six thousand level-six elven archers, asked for Alexander, and chose to join Elena’s army after learning he was absent.
• Rosario proposed setting out, but an enormous underground vessel emerged beside the altar and a gnome angrily corrected a soldier who called him a goblin.
• More gnomes emerged from the vessel, and a gnome woman apologized for her companion’s foul language.

Aimar and the Gnome Clan arrived on Paris Island, where their firearms and hidden mechanical monster fish revealed their strength. Aimar chose to join Shaarawy’s group, and nearly a thousand mechanical monster fish emerged from underground.

• Aimar introduced himself as captain of the Gnome Empire’s Earth-Traveling Squadron and demanded to know when they would fight the goblins.
• Aimar kicked a Barcelona general unconscious after the man mocked him, then shot down six or seven Barcelona experts who attacked him.
• Shaarawy and the others recognized the gnomes’ formidable firearms, while Aimar rejected Rosario’s welcome and accused him of bad intentions.
• Aimar decided to join Shaarawy’s group because Shaarawy had tried to protect him from the Barcelona generals.
• Nearly a thousand mechanical monster fish emerged from underground, startling the gathered forces with the gnomes’ concealed army.

The Northern Region Empire’s allies departed Paris Island with nearly eight hundred thousand troops to fight the goblins in the Southern Region, while Rosario and the Church’s forces left separately.
