1136 Powerful Sacred Light Empire (2/2)

Zhang Tie's eyes turned wet. In this room, he silently dropped off his tears. It had been such a long time since he dropped off tears.

After coming to Taixia Country for 4 or 5 years, Zhang Tie had experienced too many life or death situations. When he was framed by this culprit in Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie didn't cry. When he was wanted by Taixia Country, he didn't cry; when he was disdained and sworn by the people across the world, he didn't cry; when he faced the great battle formation composed of tens of thousands of demon knights in the Earth-elements Realm, he didn't cry; however, Sarlin the Pontiff's one sentence made Zhang Tie drop off his tears silently.

After experiencing the hardships in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie became increasingly stronger. Any powerful enemy or chagrin would not make Zhang Tie drop off one tear; however, the decisive protection of his trusted ones at the critical moment made Zhang Tie embarrassed.

In the tears, Zhang Tie recovered his composure as he continued to contact Sarlin the Pontiff by the remote-sensing crystal so as to further confirm the current situation facing Ice and Snow Wilderness.

——How's the current situation facing Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago?

——Everything is normal. The entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom is flourishing. More and more outsiders are migrating in. With the dignity and power of Your Majesty, Ancient God Church has completely rooted in the country and won numerous believers. Wild bear tribe and fire bear tribe also intend to build cities. Besides Saint Peterburg and Eskil City, Ice and Snow Wilderness would have the 3rd city and the 4th city soon. All the children of Your Majesty are very healthy; additionally, being blessed by the Ancient God, they have become the sons of Ancient God. In case of wide-range panic, only some important elders across Ice and Snow Wilderness know the intelligence about the Sacred Light Empire...

Compared to the customary appellation of Zhang Tie, Sarlin the Pontiff used to call Zhang Tie's foundation and force in Waii Subcontinent as Sacred Iceland Kingdom. After hearing that his children were blessed by the Ancient God, Zhang Tie became a bit thrilled. Of course, Zhang Tie knew what ”they were blessed by the Ancient God” meant. They must be born with a leakless body and the ancestral bloodlines that Zhang Tie had awakened.

In a split second, Zhang Tie even wanted to directly fly towards Ice and Snow Wilderness and looked at those people whom he was concerned about.

However, it was just an impulsion. After taking in a deep breath, Zhang Tie had recovered his composure. As for Zhang Tie, he couldn't just drop everything here in Taixia Country regardless of the outcome.

——Have you confirmed the intelligence about the Sacred Light Empire?

——We've confirmed it through many channels.

——Is there any chance for negotiation?

——Golden Roc Bank has a well-connected network and power on Western Continent; Sacred Light Empire is also a client of Golden Roc Bank. After receiving the intelligence, some important elders have already negotiated about it and known the attitude of Sacred Light Empire through Golden Roc Bank. If there's a possibility for compromise, Sacred Iceland Kingdom could stand it by paying some money or something else; however, Golden Roc Bank told us that Sacred Light Empire didn't agree with compromise decisively.

Sarlin the Pontiff's message was very detailed and complete. Between countries, there were neither enemies nor friends. Sacred Iceland Kingdom was far away from Sacred Light Empire. They didn't have any direct conflict of interest; additionally, their overall strength was not on the same level. If an ambitious scepter priest was killed by the Sacred Iceland Kingdom, this conflict might be reconciled at some cost; pitifully, Sacred Light Empire didn't think so.

Zhang Tie felt a bit disappointed as he continued——Does it mean that Sacred Light Empire just take revenge as an excuse?

——Indeed an excuse. If they wanted to revenge for that late scepter priest, Sacred Light Empire would not wait until now. The reason that they waited till now was that someone found that Sacred Iceland Kingdom's becoming more and more profitable. A few years ago, Ice and Snow Wilderness had been able to attract the greedy attention of a scepter priest of Sacred Light Empire; now, Sacred Iceland Kingdom has been qualified to attract more hungry wolves.

——How's the overall strength of Sacred Light Empire? How's their high-level battle force?

——Sacred Light Empire is one of the seven biggest countries on Western Continent. The pope who rules Sacred Light Empire is a heavenly knight. It's said that he had the greatest possibility to promote to a sage-level knight on the Western Continent. Under the rule of the pope, there are 3 sacred light major priests who are shadow knights and are responsible for three major parishes across Sacred Light Empire. Under the rule of the 3 sacred light major priests, there are almost 40 throne major priests who are earth knights. Under the rule of throne major priests, there are over 500 scepter priests who are earth knights.

Such a battle strength was indeed overwhelming in front of Sacred Iceland Kingdom. No wonder that Sacred Light Empire could become one of the powerful countries on Western Continent. After hearing that, Zhang Tie knew that Sarlin the Pontiff and the other major elders in Ice and Snow Wilderness had already learned about the overall situation of Sacred Light Empire pretty well. After hearing such a sharp contrast in battle strength between two countries, Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes at once...
