    Chapter 326 Duplicity

    On the same day, two battles took place on the vast continent with millions of participants. Compared to the news about the orcs' victory over the demon army, few people spread the news, but the news about the Menid Empire's victory over the Vatican's 500,000-strong army was widely spread.  There was an uproar in Menid.

    However, the key figure in this battle - the ninth knight Griffith who was defeated and ascended to glory with one shot, is rarely mentioned by the Menids. Even those who know about it believe that he was reduced to a servant of the dark god.  Griffili was attracted by the brilliance of the goddess Condor, and came back to show his goodwill, preparing to join Condor's command.

    After the Menid army drove the remnants of the Holy See across the Dismisu River, they did not pursue the victory. It was not that they didn't want to, but the domestic situation forced them to give up the pursuit.

    In fact, the Menid people did not cheer for victory for too long before they discovered that new disasters were coming one after another. The Menid Empire, which had already experienced reduced harvests due to the storm of faith, was burned, killed and plundered by the army of the Holy See.  More than a hundred kilometers later, tens of millions of refugees were left without food or clothing. When they discovered that praying to the gods did not bring peace, but instead ushered in war.  After the believers, when they had no food and clothing, God could not give them bread

    After not waiting for the relief they deserved, these refugees finally became angry. Led by those followers who were forced by the situation to join the Star Cult, the refugee army began to attack and loot the nobles and even the Star Temple who had stocked food in the territory.

    Rather than sit and starve to death, it is better to fight and stay alive!

    In this way, Menid had just defeated the invading powerful enemy, and immediately fell into civil strife due to the food crisis. Not long ago, they attacked the heretic Star Cultists side by side, and in the blink of an eye, they beat each other to a bloody head over a piece of black bread.  .

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the way, how can the Menid army go to war abroad in the face of instantaneous conflicts at home and when logistics cannot be guaranteed?

    As for fighting to support war, whether it is in the Holy See or Karen, the situation is not much different from that in Menid. More or less, some riots broke out due to food problems, but Menid has a denser population, which makes it particularly special.  Just stand out.  To support war with war, there must be food for you to rob. If you don't even have to rob, the army will probably starve to death on the road.

    Famine swept across the entire territory of the Holy Alliance in the late summer and early autumn of 2018. The monarchs of various countries were worried about the riots and wars in the territory. The gods who caused this consequence seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding and did not send any gods down.  The edicts restrain their respective believers, and they all seem to be waiting for something.

    On the wall of the Ronaige Palace, Corfini, who was dressed in a rich dress, looked at the bleak street outside the palace wall and remained silent. The brilliance of her stunning face was gone, and the corners of her eyes had already been covered with a layer of lines that belong to the passing of time.  With haggard melancholy in her deep eyes, she looked at Everrey and Kate who were following her and asked, "Am I wrong?"

    As in the past, she did not wait for any answer from Kate and Everrey. In fact, Coffini knew that when it came to dealing with Griffithry, Everrey and Kate had some feelings for her as one of the plotters.  Some opinions.

    "But if we don't establish the god Kanduo, the Menid Empire will be divided between the Karen Empire and the Holy Holy See. I'm afraid the Menid Empire's situation will be even worse than today." Corfini once again defended the two of them.  , she never expected that in just over a year, the Menid Empire would be reduced to what it is today in her hands. It was not because she was not diligent or hardworking, but because the influence of the divine authority was beyond her imagination.

    "But he defeated Shengguang with one shot." Everrey suddenly said, of course he was referring to Griffily.

    Everey¡¯s words are tantamount to indirectly saying that Corfini was wrong. If rumors had not been spread to destroy Griffithly¡¯s reputation, Everley firmly believed that with him around, Menid would never be in the situation it is today.

    Corfini closed her eyes and shook her head. No matter how regretful she was, she would never admit that she was wrong. "He is the servant of darkness. How could I"

    "Darkness?" Kate interrupted with a trace of anger, pointing to the deserted street of Ronai Ge and said: "This is what the god of light brought to you, but Your Majesty, you go to the land of darkness and see that you are led by the servant of the god of darkness.  They are cold and have food, clothing, hunger, and food. Who can tell me what is light and what is darkness?"

    "How did I know, he didn't tell me anything, how did I know it would be like this today! Woohoo" Kefeini cried angrily regardless of her image.

    However, today Everrey and Kate seem to be preparing to cut Corfini's face to the bottom, "Your Majesty, do you know what trust is? He doesn't tell you because he has his own difficulties, or he is afraid that you will know too many secrets.  On the contrary, it will be detrimental to you, Your Majesty, you must know that no matter Naihe, Alijie or Kanduo, in GriffiliEven in the Steadman family, their status cannot be compared with yours, because you are his most legal wife. If you can't trust him, how can the world trust him.  "Avery said sadly.

    "Haha!" Ke Feini laughed angrily, "From the perspective of a bystander, I will say this to this day, tell me with conscience, did you trust him in the beginning?"

    Unexpectedly, Everett was stunned and refused to give up to the Queen Cofini, "Yes, Your Majesty, although he is a bastard, but as long as you trust him, he will do something worthy of your trust. I was promoted so quickly.  Thanks to my trust in him, after Speer came to power, I stood still in the face of the title and fiefdom he promised. It was not until Griffith sent a letter that I took the lead in attacking him, just because I always trusted him."

    "Then why don't you follow him and stay here?" Ke Feini gritted her teeth and said.

    Kate took over and said: "Because of him, he let us stay in Ronaigo and stay with you."

    Corfini finally had nothing to say.

    At the same time, a guest was welcomed into the Tower of Secret Star, a guest who wore a garland of golden olive branches on his head, a neon gauze, and a false smile on his lips.  When Athena stood at the door of the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Secret Star, the closed door of the tower opened in response.

    Kando in the tower was still concentrating on playing the music, and did not show any sign of how distinguished the guest was.

    "I'm here to cooperate with you." Athena didn't care about Conduo's attitude and explained her purpose straight to the point.  But Kanduo still didn't respond at all, as if his whole mind was indulged in the sad and exciting tune.

    "What is the purpose of our existence in this main material plane? It is obviously to gather believers and seize the power of faith, so that we can be powerful enough to exert divine power across planes, and let people in all planes look up to our majesty." Athens  Na asked and answered herself.

    "What exactly do you want to say?" Kang Duo finally raised his head.

    "The storm of faith should end. Talent is the basis for the survival of gods. Occasionally making trouble is beneficial to win over believers. If it goes too far and makes those stupid humans feel disgusted with us, it puts the cart before the horse. Therefore, my suggestion is to kill  In the name of killing demons, I invite Shengguang to go to Hurricane Canyon with me, and then send him to reincarnation with the demon monarch. The rest of us use the Dismisu River as the boundary. I occupy the territory of the Holy See and Karen, and Menid  and Osu will be yours." Seeing the large number of human beings dying in the riot, Athena finally couldn't sit still, because she is a god with great ambitions. If the human race died in large numbers and there were no believers, then all her ambitions would be lost.  It ceases to exist.

    A strange smile appeared on Kanduo's face. She still remembered Griffithly telling her that if someone invites you to kill Shengguang one day, then her target will actually be you.  Let¡¯s not say whether Athena wanted to kill her, but it is undeniable that Griffily guessed at least half of it right.  But, as Athena said, the storm of faith must indeed end.

    "It sounds like you have taken advantage of it." Condo is not a fool. Osu is currently poisoned by demons and is far less cost-effective than the territory of the Holy See.

    Athena always kept a hypocritical smile on her face, "I don't deny that I have taken advantage of it, but it is far more difficult to change a country's beliefs than to open up wasteland in a desolate country. Don't forget, we  All we have is endless years.¡±

    Kondo understood what Athena meant. Even if Shengguang was killed, it was not so easy to turn the followers of the Holy See into followers of the Arcane Gate. Although Dauras and Osu were deserted, they had to migrate people.  In the past, it could flourish again hundreds of years later.

    "I accept." Condor agreed to Athena, and when Athena was about to leave, he asked again: "Perhaps your purpose is not to unite them to kill me!"

    "Haha" Athena laughed and asked, "Are you afraid?"

    "Of course not!" Kang Duo bowed his head and played the piano to see off the guests.

    After the Holy See army returned from two expeditions with two major defeats, the entire Holy See, including the believers under his command, was in a state of decadence.  If famine, disease and cholera made people disappointed with the Holy See after Pope Paul left, then with the rise of the 'Lord' halo, they were defeated twice at the hands of Griffili, the legendary servant of the dark god.  Many believers have questioned the identity of the ascended 'Lord'.

    After being defeated, Shengguang fled back to the Holy See. He has been hiding in the secret room facing the wall and thinking about his past. The injuries on his body have recovered. In fact, he has strong divine power. As long as his consciousness is immortal, no injury will be fatal to him.  , he really couldn¡¯t understand why the divine power revealed in his body would be used by Griffili, a man with dark divine power, thus breaking his divine protection in one fell swoop, because he could feel that his divine power was far away.  big??Feili needs to be deep.

    When he thought hard for several days and finally realized that he was still missing something as a 'lord', Athena visited the secret room of Shengguang at the right time.

    Seeing the rising light that nervously raised its right hand in a desperate manner, Athena smiled disdainfully and said arrogantly: "I am Athena, the Lord of Wisdom! Do you want to become the true Lord of Light?"

    Athena¡¯s question undoubtedly touched Shengguang¡¯s heart, but he still did not relax his vigilance, ¡°Tell me about it.¡±

    "Did you notice his eyes when he stabbed you? They were compassion from the soul. Divine power needs to be exerted with a compassionate attitude to be extremely powerful. On the contrary, if you are the target of an attack that contains sacred power  It is difficult for a person with a pure and compassionate soul to cause harm to him, so if he borrows your divine power to break the sacred protection that would not otherwise be broken, you will lose."

    When Sheng Guang heard this, he suddenly became enlightened. The vigilance on his face gradually faded, and he asked eagerly: "What should I do to have pure compassion?"

    Athena was stunned for a moment. This was a kind of sadness that she wanted to laugh but couldn't. She was sad for the Lord of Light who had fallen forever. She inherited his mantle of light and asked others how to have pure compassion. It was really sad.  It's sad. It would be unreasonable if the Holy See hasn't finished playing this game.

    "I have a mutually beneficial proposal for both of us. If you agree, I will teach you how to have a pure heart of compassion." Athena said.

    "As long as you allow me to defeat Griffith, I will agree to any conditions." Shengguang, who was eager for revenge and re-established his reputation, forgot that he was seeking skin from a tiger.

    "It's very simple. I will bring Kanduo to Hurricane Canyon in the name of inviting the Demon Lord to be slaughtered. Then we will work together to send her to reincarnation." As expected of the Lord of Wisdom, Athena deceived Kanduo and then came to deceive Shengguang.  .

    As soon as he heard that he was going to kill the god, Shengguang calmed down, "First, it is not difficult to defeat Kang Duo, but if you want to send her to reincarnation, won't she run away if she sees something bad? If she hides in the void, how can we stop her? Second  Second, if we deal with Condo, Griffili will never sit idly by. It is said that he and Condo were young lovers in the past.",

    Athena smiled faintly and said confidently: "For the first question, I can guarantee that Kanduo will never have a chance to escape. As for the second question" Athena said, her face and smile did not change, but there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, "Facts  Come on, I¡¯m just waiting for Griffili and Benshaba to come and save Kando, because killing Kando is just a cover, and they are the main targets we have to deal with.¡±

    "I'm afraid this won't be easy." Shengguang, who was frightened by Griffith's death, thought of the green hammer again.

    "So I need your cooperation. This will be a very cruel battle that may take several months. To be honest, any skills are useless in the battle between gods. The competition is about divine power and depth of understanding of the rules. Waiting for our battle  After the official start, I want your Holy See to cooperate with our Karen Empire to send troops to conquer Menid, and we must destroy all the Star Cult temples in Menid within half a month. We will prevent Kanduo from having any power of faith.  At that time, she will become a useless person"

    "So, Kando, who is not supported by the power of faith, is not a threat at all in the end. We just need to work together to deal with Griffili and the god he follows, right." Shengguang couldn't wait to interrupt Athena's words.  Lord of Wisdom, what a vicious move to draw the fire under the cauldron. As long as Athena is sure to trap Kando and fight with the gods, although the Holy See army is full of defeated soldiers, with Karen's powerful magic legion as the main force, half a month will be enough.  Sweeping across the entire Menid territory, and what they wanted to attack was the Star Temple, not a military fortress.

    Athena nodded in approval, opened the door of the secret room and was about to go out. Shengguang asked hurriedly: "That compassion"

    Athena smiled, and with one move of her hand, she grabbed a guard from the corridor at the end of the secret room. She closed the door of the secret room and threw the person to the ground. Then she glanced at the guard with her golden eyes and said, "Crack!"  "After a burst of explosions, the bodyguard's bones were all broken. I don't know what means she used. Although the bodyguard, who was like a pool of mud, was wailing, he was still unconscious.

    "How do you feel about him?" Athena asked.

    When it comes to understanding the rules, Shengguang didn¡¯t dare to lie, ¡°I don¡¯t feel anything.¡±

    The contempt in Athena's eyes flashed away, and she said to Shengguang: "Compassion is not taught by others, but is realized by oneself. If you understand, you will understand. If you don't understand, you won't be able to understand even if you tell me.  ."

    After Athena finished speaking, she walked away and stayed with Shengguang, which made her feel the humiliation of being a god. Any saint with a trace of compassion would have two choices when she shattered the body of the guard.  , if he had the ability to save the guards, he would immediatelyIf there is no treatment, the guard will be killed immediately, ending his life to reduce his pain, and then repent to the Lord.

    How easy it is. Shengguang, who was blinded by interests and hatred, said confidently that he had no feelings at all. From this moment on, Athena knew that it would be difficult for Shengguang to have compassion in his life. Fortunately, Shengguang was only her now.  As long as the tools can be used.

    After Athena left, Shengguang looked at the wailing guards intently. He felt that he understood what Athena meant. He felt that he should sympathize with the guards on the ground. Doesn't compassion begin with sympathy?  So Shengguang forced himself to sympathize with him. Shengguang believed that when he looked at the guards on the ground and sympathized to the point of crying unconsciously, he had a heart of compassion.  .  .

    So Shengguang, inspired by Athena, stared at it day and night as if he was possessed by a demon.  When a mortal stares at something for a long time and his eyes get sore, he will naturally shed tears. However, Sheng Guang, who has divine power and consciousness, is full of energy, so he cannot shed tears. Moreover, the tears of hypocrisy are in vain.  Flow, he understands this.

    It is no exaggeration to describe the Osu Empire as Chibi Qianli. With its dilapidated cities, barren land, and few people, people who don¡¯t understand the situation might think they have accidentally walked into the northwest wilderness.

    After the demon army was defeated in a battle, the Hell's Gate cultists who escaped for the rest of their lives dispersed in droves, and the few remaining demons hid in Hurricane Canyon. The Hell's Gate Temple was densely covered in the territory because Farris never showed any miracles.  , because of the famine, no one went to pray.

    In Hurricane Canyon, the area where the pink skull statue is located is wrapped by a mysterious barrier. The remaining thousand demons in the barrier actually dug a deep pit. After digging, Faris, who had been hiding in the cave, reappeared.  He threw a black lamp into the bottom of the pit, and then ordered a group of demons to fill the pit. No one knew the meaning of this, because the demon monarch Faris didn't know either. The mysterious goddess just told Faris  , when he buries the lamp a hundred meters deep underground, the barrier that has been trapping them will disappear.
