Fierce Battle on the Novro Continent

At dawn the next day, the four legions of the Ziyuan Dynasty gathered 50,000 people and began to attack Magill City. The Watchers collectively defended themselves. In just half a day, the Watchers sacrificed more than 600 people to repel the attack of the soldiers of the Shion Dynasty, and killed nearly 20,000 people. This kind of achievement is rare throughout the history of mankind on the Novro continent.

This kind of achievement has increased the prestige of the Watchmen several times. The people in Magill City are proud of the Watchers, and even some young magicians have begun to leave the Magicians Association and request to join the ranks of the Watchers.

Facing this kind of fanaticism among the people, Marx's face became extremely gloomy. The empire that has existed since the birth of mankind has been bathed in divine power and has enjoyed peace and strength for millions of years. This kind of glory and this kind of belief are actually meaningless at this moment. What on earth is going on! Marx simply did not understand and did not know where to find the cause. Marx thought of another world, that is, the Earth. Similarly, the so-called Christ on the Earth has never performed miracles when civilization was developed, but has always retained divine power. But now the Magir Empire is only a few days old. Things just got so bad.

"Your Excellency, Chairman!" In the conference room, a mage stood up and said, "Shall we let the army from the expedition to the Ziyuan Empire come back now?"

Marx immediately refused. Although Marx was a magician and had been devoted to the research and use of magic for more than a hundred years, he was not a mediocre man who was incapable of strategy. Marx ordered: "All the troops of the Aster Dynasty on the expedition will be stationed on the spot for me to prevent the remaining regiments of the Aster Dynasty from launching an attack on our country."

Upon hearing Marx's order, the magician immediately pinched a magic formula in front of his eyes, wrote the order in the air, and passed the news to the front line.

"Kane!" Max suddenly shouted.

After Kane became famous, he immediately stood up and bowed to Marx.

"Have the Aster Dynasty's troops investigated clearly?" Marx asked.

Kane's eyes rolled around the venue, and then said: "Everyone has seen that in this morning's attack, our Watchers actually had such ability, directly defeating the opponent's 50,000 people, and a legion of sieges. And Annihilating more than 10,000 people on the other side, what is this glory about?"

Having said this, some mages in the conference room have vaguely understood the focus of the current question.

"The attacking troops of the Ziyuan Dynasty are not any of their four legions, but the domestic garrison of the Ziyuan Dynasty. Only those who are on the defensive will be so desperate to die for the Ziyuan Dynasty. And the purpose of their death is , very simply, to subvert our gods in order to increase the prestige of those so-called watchers."

After hearing what Kane said, people in the conference room suddenly started talking quietly.

Marx said: "Then what should we do in the face of such a situation?"

"Kill the Watchers immediately," Kane said.

After hearing Kane's words, Marx immediately ordered: "Then we will make arrangements immediately."

The two of them ended up so hastily that the magicians around them started to make noises, and one of the old men stood up slightly tremblingly and said, "This is not okay!"

This old man is a high priest who has been serving the gods, and his magic level is already at the peak of level eight.

He said firmly: "The watchmen are the pride of our country. They defended our homeland with their lives and blood. We cannot abandon them."

Max and Kane looked at each other, and Max frowned and said, "But High Priest, you don't know the crisis we are facing now. The rise of the Watchers has seriously threatened our status and belief."

The high priest looked at them deeply and said sincerely: "It is precisely because of this that we allow them to speak freely, so that we can show our protection and care for those who believe in gods, and let the people know that people who believe in gods are not Useless. Instead of choosing to kill the heroes who gave their lives for the country and the people."

Marx and Kane looked at each other. They had discussed and analyzed the beliefs and responsibilities of each mage in the Magician Association before, and decided to launch this killing decision against the Watchers. But Marx and Kane did not expect that the high priest, who had the greatest faith in gods, would support the Watchers.

With the high priest's speech, some other mages echoed and agreed with the high priest's remarks.

The debate in the conference room became increasingly fierce, and the differences between the two sides were obvious. Marx and Kane were deeply anxious. They understood that the rise of the Watchers posed a threat to the Magician Association and theocratic rule, but the positions of the high priest and many mages also prevented them from easily drawing conclusions. At this critical moment, a magician who had been dedicated to studying the earth suddenly spoke. This magician was also a priest, and his rank was only slightly lower than that of the high priest. His speech brought a new dimension to this debate. Turn.

The priest explains more about what he has learned about the earth. According to him, the miracles on earth have not played a substantial role in the long history of history. Instead, some heroic warriors and leaders have made great contributions to the progress of human civilization. And this huge contribution does not conflict with the belief in gods, but is the result of complementing each other. Especially for the so-called Eagle Kingdom in another world, every leader of theirs needs to swear an oath to the so-called god before taking office. Although every leader of this Eagle Kingdom, what they did was contrary to the idea of ​​their god, but they still supported the so-called god.

After Marx heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong. As the chairman of the magician, he hardly needed to think carefully. He directly turned his face, looked at the high priest's firm expression, and suggested: "Since the gods on earth are The traces have not played a role in the development of civilization, so why don't we learn from their experience and make the Watchers our helpers instead of our enemies?" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually eased, and everyone fell into it. meditation.

The high priest nodded in agreement: "What Mr. Marx said is true. The Watchers are the pride of our country. They are courageous and fearless. It is this spirit that has infected the people. Why don't we change our strategy and make the Watchers our faith? extension, to jointly protect the country and the people?"

Such words, if they were in other countries, the words of the high priest would definitely satisfy their leaders, but now they are in the Magir Empire, a country dominated by theocracy. A person who believed in and worshiped the gods actually started to run counter to the gods. This made Marx suddenly have a murderous intention in his heart.
