    Late at night, the chief priest urgently summoned the great priest Alysina and Nahum, who had already acted as the group leader.  "Grantham has been lost." It's not an accident or something strange, but it's definitely lost.  "How many people survive?" Nahum still had a glimmer of luck. Alysina already understood that Grantham's soldiers and civilians were definitely in danger. More importantly, if the chief priest urgently summoned them at this time, they would definitely be in trouble.  It's not to tell you that the defeat is irreversible.  Francesca didn¡¯t answer, and his silence made Nahum¡¯s heart instantly sink to the bottom.  The entire army was wiped out?  Grantham itself is a fortress-type town. The Revenge Army guarding it plus the Fort Watch Army temporarily stationed there, as well as the refugees, refugees, and wounded people it took in at least it was estimated to be more than 20,000. It was just gone?  "Undead?" Clenching his fists, Nahum defined the attacker.  Only the undead souls of the Undead Empire can commit such a heinous massacre.  The chief priest remained silent, and Alysina looked surprised.  Not an undead?  Could it be an orc?  This is unlikely, right?  Since the fall of Dragon Rock Castle, the monsters that entered the ground through the cracks have hindered the orcs from moving north. At most, there will be small and sporadic harassment, and the losses caused cannot even be compared with the low-level undead wandering around.  "Blake had secretly reported that the refugees in the fortress were missing inexplicably, just like the situation in the floating city of Bisar before. In order to find out the truth, he secretly placed magic teleportation devices in many places in the fortress." Francesca waved her hand.  , the magic device placed beside him lit up, and the polished crystal surface showed a clear image.  There is nothing unusual in the place where people come and go, but in the corner where few people go, the lonely people disappear one by one.  Nahum¡¯s eyes widened, making sure he wasn¡¯t dazzled.  It literally ¡®disappeared¡¯.  There is no warning, and it is not magic. He has the eye of truth given by God, which can distinguish any false image and spell. As long as it does not exceed his level of power, he can see through it. What happened to those who disappeared?  When the chief priest uses a magic device to slow down the impact of the record several times.  Nahum finally knew that those people did not really disappear, but were melting from the inside out, but the speed was too fast, beyond the limit of human vision.  "The chief priest, what is this?" Nahum firmly believed that the chief priest summoned them late at night not to discuss countermeasures with them, but to have already made a clear decision.  ¡°I searched all over the collection and found nothing that corresponds to this phenomenon.¡± Francesca pinched her eyebrows out of habit.  "The last time Blake contacted me before losing contact, he said that this was the real culprit that caused the collapse of the Elf Empire in ancient times. Commander Dante also learned about this unknown secret because of his ancestors." "Do you believe it?"  Alysina had her doubts.  The only one in the material world that can rival Hohenheim's collection of books is the Dawn Sect. Even the high priest who has mastered many secrets doesn't know about it. Can you believe Dante's words?  Even if he is a respected blacksmith master.  "If other people say this, I may not believe it, but if it is Dante, it must be true. Their group of dwarves has mastered the highest skills of forging, and has maintained extraordinary relationships with all races since ancient times.  He also knows some unknown secrets." Francesca didn't know the reason for the rapid decline of the once powerful Glorious Empire, but he knew the reason why Dante was so respected.  Receive special treatment.  Not only because he is a master forger, but also because his tribe holds many secrets buried in time.  However, the ancient insects were not the reason why Francesca summoned Nahum and Alysina. The next scene displayed by the magic device completely shocked these two senior members of the Dawn Sect, who were second only to the chief priest.  shocked.  The heir to the empire that the Dawn Sect has implicitly supported, the most suitable successor to the regency in terms of bloodline and reputation.  The Duke of Belfast has fallen!  Following him, he was transformed into the undead by another famous member of the empire - Abigail, who served as the consul.  What's even more terrible is that this person's blood relative is Claire who has just resigned from the position of sage.  Hohenheim finally ended the neutrality they had insisted on for many years. If this happened while the son of nature was missing, it would most likely lead to Hohenheim breaking away from the newly reorganized alliance.  This matter is too difficult to deal with alone.  The already fragile alliance risks falling apart.  Although the combat effectiveness of wood elves is stronger than that of regular human armies, they cannot compare with mages.  If Claire is downgraded, he was once a sage. What's more, Hohenheim's belief, the original great sage Bray, and now the new god of magic, are very delicate.  The one who signed an alliance with him was the Sons of Nature, not the Dawn Sect. If Link really died unexpectedly, Bray would not have violated the contract even if he quit the alliance.  Francesca worries about nature?Link's death will cause the Alliance of Gods, which was originally determined to fight against the undead, to switch to another ally - the night, which is also in chaos. The participation of the God of War and the night elves can be regarded as a clear statement of her stance.  The Mother of Night is dissatisfied with the actions of Death God Hicks.  The intervention of demons will not help the human kingdom, which is already suffering from internal and external troubles. Instead, it will be as big a threat as the undead.  With the Pillar God busy with itself, both the Wood Elves and Hohenheim may withdraw from the alliance led by the Son of Nature.  At that time, humans will face both the undead in the north and the orcs in the south, as well as the demons behind the orcs.  Even with the power of divine blessing, the chief priest could not sleep at night worrying about this matter, and his whole body was quite haggard.  Nahum and Alysina, who hold two important positions in the Dawn Sect, have completely different ideas, one is radical and the other is conservative.  The former took the initiative to request a visit to Grantham Fortress to check, but the latter firmly opposed it and believed that the nearby knights should be withdrawn to avoid greater losses.  After arguing for a long time, they were unable to convince each other. Nahum and Alysina both looked at Francesca. The chief priest shook his head, obviously having other plans.  "Someone needs to be sent, but not you." Nahum's throat was dry, so who is the better candidate?  "The current leader of the Knights of the Dawn." Nahum was stunned for a few seconds before he could react. He was too excited to care about etiquette.  "High Priest, Captain Ramsay is old and not suitable for this task." Francesca obviously had no intention of changing her attention, and his silence made Nahum plead again.  "Captain he is really not suitable for this task. His body" "Ramus' power of holy light is fading." It seemed that he didn't want Nahum to continue talking.  Francesca's sentence completely blocked Nahum's defense. Any reason was so feeble in the face of the loss of God's favor.  Although the tone of the high priest's words was not inappropriate, Nahum still sensed the deeper meaning behind these words from the subtle changes in his eyes.  The main reason for losing the favor of a god is not only lack of piety, but also doing something that displeases the god. The most terrifying thing among them is switching to other gods. This kind of punishment is particularly severe.  The current leader of the Knights of the Dawn is different from Nahum.  Ramsay was born as a commoner and served as the regiment leader for forty years. He was known for his fairness and strictness. He was both Nahum's direct boss and his swordsmanship instructor. Nahum's rigorous and rigid character also came from Ramsi.  Nahum didn't believe it anyway that such a knight who was strict with himself would betray his faith, but the facts were before his eyes.  Glancing at Nahum, who had a confused look on his face, Alysina sighed in her heart.  Although it is not clear why Ramsay is displeased by the gods.  But it has nothing to do with Nahum.  ??Whether it was birth or swordsmanship, young Nahum was superior. His appearance directly caused Francesca to give up the idea of ????promoting Ramsay to be the next high priest.  Originally, the knight commander lacked some of the decisiveness of a leader. When there was a better choice, Ramsay's position in the Dawn Religion would only stay at the rank of knight commander.  By sending Ramsay to Grantham, it was clear that Ramsay would have an "honorable discharge" and die in the line of duty with the title of Knight Commander.  This is also Francesca's greatest kindness to this subordinate who has been her auxiliary for forty years.  Nahum also thought of this.  At this moment, he was extremely conflicted.  ¡°I hope Ramsay can retain his last bit of dignity and glory, but also don¡¯t want to see his respected senior become an abandoned pawn.  Why didn't Nahum understand that the reason for the decline of Ramsay's holy power was related to him? From talking about everything to now accidentally looking at each other, his eyes would be misaligned. The colleague who guided and taught him to grow up, like a father and a brother, had already  Twisted by jealousy and resentment.  In fact, Nahum's pain was no less than Ramsay's.  Even the high priest has no right to decide who to choose as his successor, and he cannot refuse the gift from the gods.  Alisina opened her mouth to speak several times, but the words that came to her lips were paused by the embarrassment that filled the bedroom.  There was a sudden noise in the quiet night, and then there were slightly panicked footsteps in the corridor.  The three most powerful figures of the Dawn Sect looked at the guards who pushed in the door at the same time.  The strictly trained knight had an unmistakable look of fear on his face.  "Grand Priest, come and take a look" A crack appeared on Francesca's carved face. He stood up hurriedly and walked out of his bedroom quickly. Nahum and Alysina, who were following him, raised their heads at the same time.  Looking at the sky that triggered waves of exclamations.  The supposedly dark sky was playing out an event that happened in another place - the vengeance generals wearing emblems engraved with the Dawn Sect would move one after another.A sleeping civilian had his neck broken. Even if some of them woke up and resisted, they were no match for the well-trained soldiers.  Before long, the huge valley was filled with thousands of dead bodies.  Alysina covered her mouth and exclaimed, the person who took the lead in massacring the civilians was none other than the leader of the Revenge Army, Blake.  At this time, Francesca could not maintain her usual calmness. The veins in her hands holding the hem of her clothes were exposed, showing that his heart at this moment was no less shocked and anxious than others.  This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Not only in Xindu, but also in large and medium-sized towns everywhere, magical images of the Revenge Army massacring civilians appeared in the sky. Many people who were already sleeping were awakened by the sound coming from above their heads. When they opened the doors and windows, they saw  It was a scene that made them even in the troubled times tremble with fear.  People are both panicked and puzzled. Why do the Revenge Army attack civilians?  The Dawn Sect worships Ilias, the god of light and justice, and is one of the sects least likely to massacre civilians. Not only does this violate the teachings of the Dawn, but it also has no profit to be gained?  However, the scene suddenly changed and turned into a magnificent fortress. Even those who have never seen it with their own eyes know that it is the frontline position against the undead - Grantham.  This residential and military fortress is not only the frontline base camp of the Revenge Army, but also the temporary base of the Watch Keep, another force that resists the undead.  The Revenge Army is killing civilians like crazy, what will happen to the other army?  A bad premonition enveloped everyone who looked up. As the image progressed and magnified, a disgusting picture emerged. Countless fortress residents were dissolving under the weak moonlight. As they disappeared, gray-black  The mist seems to be consciously looking for its next prey, and cries and cries for help echo in the empty square. It is like a doomsday scene that fills the hearts of every viewer with fear.  "Quick! Find the bastard who played this magical video!!" Nahum shouted angrily, waking up the knight who was stunned by the tragic scene. Since he had been acting as the leader six months ago, the members of the knights  Follow orders without any hesitation.  If the first magic image made the chief priest look a little surprised, this second magic image made his usually plain face show a rare look of anger.  It¡¯s been the second day since we lost contact with Grantham, and the situation at that time is only being broadcast now. It¡¯s clearly a deliberate act!  Eden is not only the temporary capital of the United Kingdom, but also the headquarters of the Dawn Sect. This is a provocation and a declaration of war!  Witch King Shuanghan, are you trying to demonstrate to me, not only on the front line of the confrontation between the two armies, but also in the rear area, Aiden City, which is regarded as the last pure land of mankind, the dawn and the base camp of the United Kingdom, also has your subordinates As a human and  The face of the supreme leader of the Dawn Sect is second to none. Francesca is worried that the tragedy of Grantham will happen again in Aiden.  There are hundreds of thousands of people in Xindu, gathering the last remaining elites of mankind.  The nobles have already lost the support of the people. If even the Dawn Sect, which is the only one that can reconcile the contradiction between the two, is included in the ranks of oppressing the people at the bottom, coupled with the immortality of the undead advocated by the Undead Empire, humans will not have to wait until the war breaks out.  It will lead to self-destruction.  Without the support of dwarves and elves, Francesca was confident that he could still hold on for a while, but if even humans themselves stood on the opposite side of the Dawn Sect, he didn't know whether this battle that had begun since Hicks became a god would be over.  That wraps it up.  However, the matter was not over yet, the image in the sky changed again.  The betrayal and fall of the Duke of Belfast, who had high hopes, was a fatal blow to the Dawn Sect, which had just lost its prestige in the hearts of the people due to the massacre of civilians by the Revenge Army.  "Grand Priest, what should we do?" Alysina, who was responsible for handling political affairs, turned pale. She knew better than anyone else the importance of Gonzalez to the United Kingdom and even the Alliance.  No matter the origin or bloodline is no less than that of the deposed former regent royal family, without the bad habits of the nobility, he is an envoy blessed by the God of War himself. Without him, the scattered United Kingdom will be even more difficult to restrain.  (To be continued)
