The 490th chapter turmoil (1)
It’s okay for others to forget it, but Danica will always listen to Philis’s opinions. Sure enough, after Philis said this, Danica’s face eased a lot, and she said: “For generals, you must not only be brave, but also be wise. Kria needs to be trained more.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lina said immediately, and a smile couldn't help but show a smile on her lips. Although His Majesty blamed her, she still said she wanted to "train more", which means that in His Majesty's heart, Cria still has value in cultivating, which is great.
Marganis's attack lasted for more than a month, and Danica estimated that at least two million demons had been added one after another. The anti-demon coalition also added more troops. The beast tribe sent an additional 500,000 soldiers, and the artillery of the Gemini Kingdom also added 50,000 artillery. The reason for so much was that during a previous night attack, the beast tribe caught off guard was unable to organize a tight line of defense, resulting in a large number of demons rushing into the artillery phalanx, and tens of thousands of artillery were destroyed. Fortunately, this was about to end the battle, otherwise the anti-demon coalition might not be able to stop the impact of the demons when the strength of the artillery phalanx was greatly reduced.
After retreating this time, Marganis did not rest for long. A few days later, he rushed over with millions of demon troops. The first fortress, which was severely damaged in the previous war, had not had time to repair it, and the result was quite serious. The first fortress failed after persisting for more than ten days.
Fortunately, the second fortress had already arranged its defensive power, and Fimiller and Sophia finally defended it when they came to fight in person.
In the next few years, the hard battle between the Anti-Demon Alliance and the Demons continued, and the truce period was very short. Both sides seemed to be thinking about whether they could work harder, or if they persisted for a while, they might collapse. During this period, many heroes emerged from all races. They fought for their wives, children, their homes, and the whole world, and devoted themselves to the war against the demons, using their flesh and blood to resist the brutal demons. These stories greatly inspired the morale of all races and would be permanently spread.
However, as Danica said, this intensity of attrition war is actually beneficial to the Demon Alliance. After years of war against the Demon, hundreds of millions of soldiers of the Beast Clan died on the battlefield. These are almost all the young and middle-aged people of the Beast Clan. Now there are only some old, weak, women and children left on the grassland. For the Gemini Kingdom, the loss of troops is acceptable, and the main loss is artillery. During the War against the Demon Clan, the arsenal of the Aishue Chamber of Commerce created nearly 100 million yuan.
There was a cannon, but in the end, the so-called artillery array was only tens of thousands, and the others were lost in the long war; as for the Holy See of Light and the Tulip Kingdom, the losses were even greater. The originally population of about 900 million in the western region was only more than 300 million. You should know that the Abyss Demon has never broken through the blockade of the Thorin Fortress, and there was no war in the western region. The 600 million people died because of this anti-demon war.
Danica's estimate is right. The battle against demons will cause the entire Katic continent to shed blood, but at the same time, the devil's losses are even more serious. Without the existence of the Styx, the demons on the Abyss Peninsula cannot replenish them after death. The original more than 300 million demons were consumed by many years of war, and only tens of millions were left.
Therefore, thirteen years later, the offensive of the demon army led by Marganis finally weakened, and the demons could no longer attack their world. Although the anti-demon coalition forces could not attack because the concentration of evil energy in the southern coastal areas and the Abyss Peninsula was too high, this did not affect the overall situation, at least it was the overall situation that Danica believed. The Abyss Demons came to invade this world. When the invasion failed, they would be slowly destroyed sooner or later.
When the threat of the Demons of the Abyss was eliminated, another turmoil began to brew. As Tyran sarcastically said: they would never live with peace of mind. When Tyran said this, "they" meant Danica and Lucia, but in fact, it should also include Aphro and Elizabeth of the Holy See, who were not a silly guy.
The turmoil was initially initiated by Danica. When the demon army led by Marganis failed to invade the Katic continent, Danica proposed that because of the threat of abyss invasion and the lack of a suitable leader in the dwarf kingdom, the dwarfs were "protected" by the beasts. But now, since the invasion of the demons has been defeated, the dwarfs should regain their destiny.
These large amounts of high-sounding words actually mean one thing. Danica no longer admits Lucia's "protection" of the dwarves. This makes the little cat furious. In order to win the war against the demons, the beast tribe has paid so much of the lives of young people. As a result, the war has just ended - it's just over, and it's just a few days ago! Danica was betrayal and wanted to provoke a new war?
But Danica has a different view on this.
In the Gemini Kingdom, in the palace of the Twin Cities, Danica is chatting with her good friend Tyran.
"I heard that Lucia was furious!" Tyran said worriedly.
"Relax, my friend, things are not as bad as you think." Danica took out a bottle of fruit wine and two cups from the wine cabinet. "Do you want to taste it? This is the latest 'Light Light' fruit wine developed by the Elf, a fruit wine that does not contain alcohol, which is tasted by apples."
"Oil-free fruit wine? Isn't that just juice?" Tyran muttered, but took the cup handed over by Danica and said, "Do you know how bad I imagined it is?"
Danica sat back on the sofa and said, "I know what you are worried about, you are worried that Lucia and I will go to full war."
Tailan took a small sip of this special fruit wine and said, "It tastes really good, but... if I don't want to drink alcohol, why not drink juice directly?"
Danica smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of a special taste requirement that you want to drink alcohol, but not alcohol."
"When did you have such a bad taste?"
"This is not to cater to my taste," said Danica, "it was created by some nobles in the Moonlight Forest."
Taylan took another sip, then put the cup on the coffee table and said, "Okay, let's talk about the serious matter, do you think my concerns are unnecessary? We just repelled the demon's attack and did not achieve real victory. And you should not forget that the space barrier created by the Central Council at the time was time-limited. I feel that the space in our world has begun to become unstable again."
"Do you feel?" Danica said with a playful smile holding the cup.
"Okay, okay." Tyran said helplessly, "I heard that it's not OK? But this does not affect the conclusion I came to. Our world is still facing the threat of the abyss demon."
"I'll just say it! The space in our world is indeed becoming more and more unstable." Taylan was about to speak, but was stopped by Danica. "But this unstable trend has not only begun now. In fact, after the Central Council used Posell's tortoise shell to repair the space, the artificial space barrier began to slowly collapse until it couldn't hold on and completely collapsed. Regarding the stability of the space, there are a small group of space magicians in the Moonlight Forest who are specifically monitoring it, so don't worry, we still have nearly a hundred years of peace."
"So you are planning to take advantage of this nearly a hundred years of peace to do something?" Taylan said sarcastically, "Shouldn't we rest for a while? In order to win that battle against the demons, Katic continent shed all blood."
"Yes, I know, but someone wants to take this opportunity to achieve their goals by taking advantage of all the forces into a weak opportunity." Danica said.
"Isn't that person you?" Tyran said.
"Of course not."
"Who is that?"
“Aphro Aragon.”
"She?" Tyran said with a frown, "What do she want to do?"
Danica said: "Aphro wants to completely overthrow the Vatican of Light. Only in this way can she be at ease. You know, Aphro was extremely wary of the Vatican of Light at the beginning. In addition, the complex historical entanglements between the Tulip Kingdom and the Vatican of Light, it is understandable that she is very worried about Elizabeth. Besides, the Holy Light has a foundation of faith in the human race for nearly ten thousand years, especially since we have just survived a huge disaster, which is the best time to promote faith. In recent years of the War of Resistance Against the Demons, the Vatican of Light has gained many believers, real and devout believers. The profound impact of the Holy Light on the human race makes Aphro unable to sleep or eat!"
"It also makes you sleep and eat?" Tyran pointed out this without hesitation, "But aren't you worried? I heard that the new Tulip Kingdom established by Aphro followed your Gemini Kingdom and adopted a highly centralized political model. If she overturned the Holy See of Light, your neighbor would be replaced by a more powerful, more combative and more intense aggression and expansionary kingdom. Will you feel at ease?"
Danica smiled and said, "Things will not develop to that point. The success of the Gemini Kingdom cannot be replicated. The resources I have in my hands are completely different. She wants to overthrow the Holy See, but she can't do it."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure Aphro can never destroy the Holy See by force. She can't deal with a single Karl. As far as I know, there is no talent for that new tulip kingdom."
"Carl?" Tyran said in surprise, "Didn't he die in battle? Didn't he die in battle when the Scourge of the Angels swept through?"
Danica said helplessly: "Yes, but he was resurrected again, and was resurrected by the angel named Pavas."
"Resurrection? That's so powerful?" Tyran stood up in surprise.
"Don't be excited!" Danica comforted her and said, "It's not actually a resurrection. According to the news I heard from Elizabeth, Carl was not actually dead in battle. When he was about to die, he was protected by Pavas, fell into a deep sleep, and is now awakened."
"Oh, that's it..." Tyran sat down again and said, "But what does this have to do with your provocation of Lucya?"
Danica frowned slightly and said, "That's because the support of the beasts behind the Holy See of Light."
Taylan thought for a while and said, "And you support Aphro?"
Danica nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise with the support of the beast tribe, the Tulip Kingdom could not withstand the pressure of the Holy See of Light."
"What the hell do you two want to do?" Tyran said a little annoyed.
"I really don't know Lucia's side," said Danica, "But on my side, I just want to launch a war, a real war that directly confronts the Holy Light. I need this war to break the position of the Holy Light in the human faith." Since the establishment of the Holy Light Church eight thousand years ago, the Holy Light has an irreplaceable position in the minds of the human race. Only by launching a war directly against the Holy Light can we make the human race understand that the Holy Light is not so sacred and inviolable.
"Is this useful?" Tyran was very suspicious about this. Could it be that if the Holy See of Light was defeated once, it would hit those devout believers? Of course, religion can be destroyed in the form of war, but it has never been heard that a religion lost its faith in believers because of its lack of combat power.
"At least the first step," said Danica. "The disintegration of the human race's belief in holy light is a systematic project, and it is not so easy to achieve the goal."
"What's so troublesome? Why don't you do it directly..." At this point, Tailan suddenly stopped. She originally wanted to say, why don't you destroy the Holy See directly - although it is not easy to destroy the Holy See directly, it is at least much simpler than disintegrating the faith.
Taylan sat there, frowned slightly, and after a while, he said, "You don't want... you don't want the Holy See of Light to completely die... Are you worried about Aphro?"
Danica said with a smile: "Of course, don't you say that, the Tulip Kingdom is now a centralized kingdom that can mobilize powerful force. How could I let her grow such a kingdom? And it's still next to me." It is precisely because I want to keep the Holy See of Light to balance the Tulip Kingdom that Danica has to work hard to disintegrate the human race, or to be precise, the human race in the central region's belief in the Holy Light.
"The plan is good, but you should be careful and don't take it off." Tailan reminded that the Holy See of Light and the Tulip Kingdom are not small forces anymore. It seems very dangerous to manipulate such two continental-level forces to fight.
"No, I have a tacit understanding with Lucya in this regard. We will not want either of these parties to become bigger," said Danica.
