The Alpine Principality, the city of Zurich, is the headquarters of the Mages Guild and the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Magic.

Since the Church of the Goddess of Magic declared war on the Church of the Goddess of Life, many spellcasters who believe in the Goddess of Magic Mystra but do not belong to the guild or the church have temporarily left here.

Because everyone on the continent must have faith, so as spell casters, they followed the general public in believing in the goddess of magic, but at best they were just pan-believers. After all, for mages who have knowledge, especially those who know a lot about the history of the ancient Netheril Magic Empire, the True God is not so supreme.

As a believer, if you stay and do not participate in the war or do not contribute to the goddess of magic, you will definitely be criticized by public opinion. When it comes to participating in the war, the mage is not a ignorant person who knows nothing. Duke Stewart's achievements are still being sung, and dozens of masters have died in her hands. There is really no need to be cannon fodder. As for making contributions, I don’t even have enough money to spend on my own experiments.

Therefore, instead of staying here in embarrassment, it is better to leave with an excuse and treat it as a trip. Besides, although the city of Zurich is called the city of a hundred towers and has many mage towers, who can guarantee that the Church of the Goddess of Life will not dare to send people to make a big noise? Wouldn't it be an unjust death if it was affected?

Alicia used the "ratchet bomb" to blow up the mage tower in Rotterdam, and used the artifact "Summoning Gate" to massacre the mage tower in Amsterdam. Who dares to bet that Zurich won't do it?

In fact, the main reason is that the Kingdom of France and the Principality of Alpine are bordering each other, which means that the Stewart Territory is too close to the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Magic, and being close naturally means danger.

Pope Eloist of the Church of the Goddess of Magic naturally knew the thoughts of these mages, but because he knew these mages so well, he did not take any measures in this regard.

Following the oracle of the great goddess of magic, the church declared war on the church of the goddess of life after being fully prepared. However, it takes a long time to mobilize supplies, gather personnel, hire manpower, etc., so even if the goal is not stated, all parties have increased their attention. Because Karona was reminded by Jergo, the Goddess of Magic Church began to prepare for war, and she immediately sent an oracle.

Headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Magic, conference room.

Pope Eloist sat at the top, listening to the report from the commander of this war, the legendary mage Habit Guru.

"His Majesty the Pope, in accordance with the oracle of our Lord, requires that this battle of faith must be successful in one battle, so I have mobilized 90% of the church's combat power."

Pope Eloist nodded. This is what he approved. After the army departs, the city of Zurich will open a defensive array. Even without the participation of the Mage Guild, the array composed of dozens of mage towers can resist the attack of the true god's clone. .

"All one hundred knights of the Arcane Knights will participate in the battle."

They include two master-level knights and ninth-level mage captains and deputy captains, eighteen eleventh-level knights and seventh-level mage captains and deputy captains, and eighty fifth-level knights and fourth-level mage team members.

"The arcane mage group will all participate in the battle."

They were transferred from another plane, including two master-level mages, four eleventh-level mages, eight ninth-level mages, and sixteen seventh-level mages.

"The entire church priesthood will participate in the war."

They are the direct force under the Pope of Eloist, including four eleventh-level priests, six ninth-level priests, ten seventh-level priests, and thirty fifth-level priests.

"Two demigods, seven legendaries, and twenty-one masters from the church will also join the battle."

Many of these people traveled or even lived in other dimensions and were retrieved in advance for this battle of faith.

"Nearly a hundred mages who believe in our Lord will participate in the battle. The highest level they have is twelve levels, and the lowest level is five levels."

Some of these mages hold positions in the Mages Guild and participate in the war as individuals. Some have deep connections with the church and are involved in battles both emotionally and rationally. Others actively respond to the call for their faith. After all, there is a bounty for participating in the war.

The legendary mage Habit Guru finally said: "Considering that the Church of the Goddess of Life, that is, Stuart has the habit of hiding his strength, we have hired thirteen legendary level and thirty-one masters from other planes through various relationships. There are more than 200 legal professions above the fifth level, more than 600 other professionals above the fifth level, and 5,000 mercenaries."

The Church of the Goddess of Magic is very rich, and the battle of faith determines the life and death of the church. In this case, it is tempting to spend all the money to prepare for the war. If you don’t use the money for military expenses, how about using it to pay compensation if you lose?

Pope Eloist asked: "How prepared are the supplies?"

A master-level mage in charge of this matter said: "Nearly a thousand pieces of various magic equipment in the warehouse have been distributed. We have mobilized 10,000 various spell scrolls stored in the church and borrowed 20,000 from the Mages Guild. ”

"The ones borrowed from the Mages Guild were not discovered by anyone, right?"

"The people who manage the warehouse are our Lord's followers. After the war, if it is not used, it can be returned. If it is not used much, they can settle the account and will never be discovered."

After hearing this, Pope Eloist was relieved. To put it bluntly, even with magic equipment and spell scrolls, all the believers of the Goddess of Life can be killed.

So he said approvingly: "You did a good job."

Then he asked the master priest in charge of foreign affairs: "The army needs to pass through the Kingdom of France along the way. What is the attitude of King Louis Capet?"

"King Louis Capet of the Kingdom of France stated that the church's troops cannot pass through the royal territory, but he will not care whether the local nobles agree. I have contacted the Marquis of Limousin, Alps County, Auvergne County, Champagne County, etc. The nobles of Round County all agreed to allow the army to pass through. "

"very good."

The legendary mage Habit Guru said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty the Pope, with all due respect, although I have absolute confidence in the military power of the church, the Church of the Goddess of Life has a floating city, which is not something we can deal with."

Pope Eloist said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this at all. Our Lord will take action when the time comes, and there is nothing to fear about the floating city."

The legendary mage Habit Guru immediately said with a pious expression: "Praise my Lord."

Others also bowed their heads and said, "Praise my Lord."

Pope Eloist finally said: "The army will set out tomorrow, for the glory of our Lord!"

Everyone shouted again: "For the glory of our Lord!"
