Chapter 25 (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was the human army that had been blessed by the Wings of Light!
Walter had killed Hydra and won a grand victory for the Light Camp.
The Light Camp was alarmed and made an exception to grant Walter the ultimate Forbidden Light Spell, ‘Angel Descent’, and blessed all creatures of the Light Camp with the buff of ‘Angel’s Wings’ for three days.
The Beastmen belonged to the Neutral Evil Camp, while the Elves belonged to the Neutral Kind Camp.
Only the humans belonged to the Light Camp.
Rose knew how much of a threat the humans with Angel’s Wings posed to her.
Thus, she used her own body as bait and successfully lured the Holy Knights to their deaths.
She also heavily injured the human’s Heavy-Armored Knights.
When people realized that Rose’s main body had already arrived in the Material Plane, more than half of the human’s Heavy-Armored Knights had already died.
The complete destruction of the Holy Knight Corps was an almost unbearable blow to the Holy See.
The pope was furious and wanted to personally lead the White-Robed Priests to participate in the war. However, he was stopped by the Inquisitors.
The Inquisitors belonged to the Religious Court.
All the heretics were within the jurisdiction of the Religious Court. Of course, this also included the evil Abyssal Creatures.
However, over the years, the Religious Court had rarely made a move. As a result, many people had never even heard of their names.
Not hearing their names was actually a kind of luck.
Once you were targeted by the Religious Court, it meant that you were regarded as a heretic.
Behind the light was darkness. The brighter the place, the darker the darkness.
No one would want to experience the methods of the Religious Court.
Even the demons of the Abyss and the demons of Hell would feel their scalps go numb when they heard the name of the Religious Court.
The Inquisitors led the Red-Robed Mages on a personal expedition.
Although there were only a few dozen of them, the power they represented was even more terrifying than the casual Holy Warriors Army combined.
Holy Warriors were a group of crazy fanatics.
There were even Holy Warriors who charged into the Bottomless Abyss to purify the records of all demons.
The Holy Warriors were loyal but also crazy.
The Holy See would not use this trump card unless it was a matter of life and death.
However, since the Holy Knights were all annihilated and even the Religious Court had been mobilized, the shackles on the Holy Warriors naturally had to be removed.
The Heavy-Armored Knights suffered heavy losses, and the entire human race howled in grief.
The Demonized Spider was about to break through the human defense line.
The old king mobilized all the forces that he could mobilize, and at the same time, he used all his connections to divert money and armed forces from the various nobles.
The nobles all had their own armed forces.
In their own fiefdoms, the nobles not only had the right to collect taxes but also had the right to form an army.
Moreover, these armies were only loyal to the nobles.
The king was only a nominal leader, but in fact, he was more like a more powerful city lord.
The king’s power had been lost by more than half. This was a great opportunity for some ambitious nobles.
However, all of this could only be done after repelling the attack of the Abyss.
The Abyss’ Demonized Spider did not need captives.
It would not think highly of you just because you were a noble.
At best, the body of a noble was a little more delicate, and in the mouth of the demonized spider, it was a little more tender and juicy.
It was not that the nobles did not understand this principle, but each of them had their own little plans.
Resisting the Abyss was of course necessary.
However, who would pay the money, who would pay the troops, and how much each troop would be paid? These were the big questions.
Under the premise of ensuring victory, the nobles were most concerned about exchanging the smallest price for the greatest benefit.
