Chapter 436

Chapter 436: The Army Approaches the City

"So many soldiers, this is amazing," Teresa said as she looked at the great army behind her, feeling a little unreal.

Unexpectedly, while playing, I became a warlord in the dungeon.

"Now, no matter which force we help, that force can become the strongest, right?" Teresa looked at Karoso.

"I thought it would be complicated, but now… we have something to negotiate with," Karoso said with a slight smile, "Let’s move towards the Goddess of the Night’s camp."

While others have to figure this out, Karoso has completely opened the whole map.

"We still need to join a force. Should we join the Goddess of the Night?" Teresa asked.

"We will know when the time comes. Right now, my plan is perfect. Teacher 『』 and I will move ahead with the high-level soldiers, while you follow behind with the slower low-level soldiers."

……

The high-level soldiers moved incredibly fast, like a strong wind.

To reach the Goddess of the Night’s base, one must pass through the graveyard and the Forest of Elves.

Zoltan watched as Karoso crossed the border with a large group of high-level soldiers, his eyes wide and mouth open in surprise.

Karoso had been out of contact for ten days in Zoltan’s view. He thought Karoso had been discovered and killed, as there had been no news of him at all.

To his amazement, in just ten days, Karoso had brought so many soldiers.

And they were all high-level soldiers, part of a dark-themed army from hell and the graveyard.

Zoltan couldn’t understand where these soldiers had come from at all.

Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far. Just because he could see it did not mean he could get there quickly. Otherwise, he really wanted to rush out and ask.

However, this person was heading towards the Church of the Goddess of the Night. Are they going to fight?

With that thought, Zoltan quickly gathered his troops and led a large number of soldiers from the cemetery towards Karoso.

Unlike Zoltan’s surprise, the leader of the Forest of Elves, Anwen, was feeling very uneasy.

No matter how you looked at it, the forces from the cemetery and hell could not compare to the elves.

Anwen could not believe there were so many armies underground!

Before, it was Messiah and Karoso who fought, and Karoso was worried that Messiah would hurt these soldiers, but now Messiah had to avoid them.

Not just Messiah, Anwen felt the same; even she might not be able to withstand the focused attacks of the weaker soldiers.

"Leader, let me go take a look."

Seeing this army, Vereesa was also very confused.

This dungeon is neither too big nor too small; the distance to the graveyard and the elves is quite far, and with Anwen and Zoltan’s strength, they could see that far, but Vereesa could not.

She was very curious about where these soldiers came from.

Also, wanting to join the human side, leaving the forest at this time is a good choice.

However, Malfurion was relieved to see Karoso’s army being so powerful.

Null and 『』, the two masters are really impressive, gathering so many people underground…

Now, the situation is becoming unclear.

Null says that they want to help me, but how will they help…?

Looking at this situation, if they join the human side, they could probably sweep through everything, right?

"You go with Malfurion." Anwen still trusts Vereesa quite a lot and, fearing she might be at a loss, decided to have Malfurion follow her.

……

Headquarters of the Church of the Wisdom God.

"My lord, two people bringing a large number of graveyard and hell soldiers are heading towards the Church of the Goddess of the Night."

Narcissus, the leader of the Church of the Wisdom God, also received the news.

On the ground of this dungeon, they set up many Eyes of Truth. Those things are not expensive; you can make one for seventy-five gold coins, and it can transmit some images.

Ever since Neymar arrived, Narcissus has worried much less.

With the true god in command, which other force has such power?

"Let me see." Neymar became very interested.

Soon, Neymar saw the sight transmitted by the Eye of Truth.

"Brother…" Neymar was overjoyed to see Karoso, who was leading the troops.

"My lord, which brother?" Narcissus looked a bit confused.

"It’s fine, they are our people." Neymar shook her head.

"Huh?" Narcissus didn’t quite understand, "The two leaders show no signs of any special powers, and they’re not wizards."

"Do I need to explain it to you?" Neymar narrowed her eyes.

"I dare not!" Narcissus hurriedly knelt on the ground.

In this dungeon, Neymar was doing better than anyone else.

The outsiders from the Church of the Goddess of the Night were acting submissive, and the elves were doing the same. Here, Neymar was the boss; the leader before her was like a subordinate…

"Call Jaina here and let her take a look." Neymar yawned, "For now, don’t bother me with anything else."

"Yes!" Narcissus lowered his head, not daring to question any decision made by Neymar.

……

The place called Dawn City, Babington.

Gabriel held a telescope and looked seriously at the approaching Undead Army, feeling a sense of foreboding.

"Shut the city gates and prepare for defense!" Gabriel commanded.

His three heroes, including Anduin, sprang into action.

Anduin seemed unsure now; he should have known the details of the Church of the Lord of Eternity’s maneuvers.

The distant army included demons and graveyards; such a large movement couldn’t happen without warning.

He originally made many plans, treating this world as a war game to play.

Under his plans, the Church of the Goddess of the Night would gradually consume the other forces and achieve ultimate victory.

But it’s like you’re playing a game nicely, and suddenly someone joins in and uses a cheat.

Even if the cheat isn’t too outrageous, it’s still unfair!

At the very least, Anduin had no idea where this ‘ambush’ came from.

It is clear that this should be the foundation of the Church of the Lord of Eternity.

Anduin thought to himself that this dungeon is more complicated than he imagined.

Uther and the others were also busy on the city walls; their strength was not enough, and the Church of the Goddess of the Night did not have something as convenient as the Eye of Truth, so they had no idea who was attacking.

They lacked the authority and thought the enemy was prepared.

When they saw someone come up to them, they were quite happy, after all, their mission in this war was to defeat the enemy, and they were worried that no one would move.

Anduin had already thought of how to start the war, but now he didn’t have to.

Just as Varian was busy with many things, a Communication Card on him suddenly lit up.

When Varian saw the communicator, he looked confused.

Flame War God Church Saint Child, Karoso Colloa!

How can he communicate with me? Is he also in this dungeon? That shouldn’t be; I didn’t see him at the entrance.

Besides, isn’t he fighting with the Pande Empire?

"Saint Child, are you in the dungeon?"

"Yes," Karoso’s voice came from the other side of the Communication Card.

"How did you get here? Aren’t you supposed to be fighting?" Varian was a bit surprised.

He thought about the conflict between Karoso and Norman and strayed a little.

"I came in by accident. That doesn’t matter; what matters is that after I entered, I met an important NPC who took me underground and gathered a lot of troops," Karoso said. "Now I’m leading the army to Dawn City."

"You mean the troops that came out from the Church of the Lord of Eternity are yours?" Varian was shocked.

"That’s right. Along with me are Master 『』, Presea’s princess, Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa. Keep this quiet; we are enemies with Norman."

"Do you have a faction?" Varian exclaimed with joy.

If Karoso joined their faction, they would win for sure.

Damn, how did Saint Child get so many troops? We worked so hard to gather just a few; is this a game?

"Yes, we are all part of the God of Wisdom faction," Karoso said. "We cannot betray; we can only be part of the God of Wisdom faction!"

After all, everyone can leave the group, but one person cannot, and that person is Neymar.

As soon as Neymar joins, she becomes part of the Church of Wisdom God.

"This…" Varian frowned slightly.

"Do you trust me?"

"You say."

Although Karoso is the Flame Saint Child, a being who was blessed by God, since that time, there has been no more blessing, which has raised many doubts.

Moreover, just because Karoso was blessed by God does not mean he acts according to God’s will.

If Varian is to help, he must be convinced first.

"Right now, I have the entire Church of Wisdom God at my disposal, along with the forces I command and the forces of the Church of the Lord of Eternity," Karoso said.

"Huh? Then you can win just by pushing forward!" Varian was very surprised.

"There are some unstable factors that I need to handle now. Also, just looking at the data, you have 2, the Forest of Elves has 1, the Lord of Eternity has 1, I have 1, the God of Wisdom has 1, so there are still many uncertainties." Karoso knew well that the Church of the Goddess of the Night had remarkable strength, and Gabriel was one of the strongest leaders.

Not only that, but the Church of the Goddess of the Night has the most heroes!

The other factions cannot recruit heroes at all; only the Church of the Goddess of the Night has this ability.

"I understand." Varian nodded, "If what you said is true, I will take some of my troops to help you, and I can also hire some experts from the Thieves’ Guild; they only care about money, not people."

"Anduin is a fool, and Uther also refuses to deal with the Thieves’ Guild; only Norman and I have done so."

This is the advantage of the Flame War God Church not having an image to maintain; they have come up from the bottom and are willing to meet all kinds of people.

Although the Heart of Ambition where Uther is located is not a major church, the Knights’ Church also looks down on such practices.

"Hmm, I will not accept Norman and Uther." Karoso reminded him.

"Saint Child… Will this cause a religious war?" Varian’s heart sank.

If Uther dies here, especially in this conflict, and it is the Flame Saint Child who strikes, it could very well lead to a religious war!

This religious war is not just about gently gaining followers; it’s a real fight with swords and guns.

"If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility. In this war, Lionheart will definitely help the Pande Empire; they are not true knightly believers," Karoso said. "As for Anduin, we cannot touch him."

"Alright." Varian disliked Anduin, but he was still part of the Church of the Dawn Goddess, so he dared not take action.

As for Karoso’s claim of responsibility…

Varian knew that Karoso could not bear this responsibility, but he was willing to follow him instead of giving more advice, because of the god the Flame War God Church believed in.

Surtr is so powerful, yet the Flame War God Church has only recently started to rise, not for other reasons, but because the church is too aggressive.

Life and death are taken lightly; if you don’t agree, just fight. That is the nature of the people in the Flame War God Church.

If the previous popes had not discovered that continuing this way would harm the church, Varian might have dared to challenge Anduin by now.

To put it simply, the larger the family business, the more unwilling one is to lose it.

However, without waging a war, it is very hard to expand.

The Lionheart Church is an easy target, it might be worth testing.

Those who can enter such dungeons to complete tasks can be said to be the elites of each major church, not just in terms of strength.

……

Karoso’s elite army soon reached about five hundred meters from Dawn City.

The dragon circling in the sky and the approaching demon brought a great sense of pressure to the city.

Gabriel was already standing on the city wall, looking indifferently at the army before him.

Although this army is large, it is still not enough to conquer his city!

His expert leadership also keeps the soldiers in the city from fearing these high-ranking soldiers, as their spirits remain strong.

"Who is coming?" Varian said loudly.

"Church of the Lord of Eternity, The Favored One!" Karoso replied to Varian, "Today, I represent the Church of the Lord of Eternity, and I will flatten this Dawn City! Let your souls sing for our Lord!"

After saying this, red lines appeared in Karoso’s eyes.

He took out an ancient revolver and fired a shot at Varian.

Bang!

Flames erupted from the gun, and the bullet shot through the air.

Gabriel initially dismissed it, but as the bullet got closer, he felt a sense of danger.

Ding!

He quickly raised his long sword and blocked the spear.

His face looked a bit unpleasant; from such a distance, and considering the eighth tier against the ninth tier, he shouldn’t be hurt at all.

But the feeling of danger from earlier was not something to be ignored.

Although it might not cause much damage, that threat was not something to take lightly.

Gabriel recalled the legend of the Lord of Eternity and gritted his teeth, saying, "The Rule of Death…"

Zoltan, who was eagerly leading his troops this way, had no idea that Karoso had already declared war on him and was planning to flatten Dawn City.

To the players, the biggest challenge of this dungeon was not the fighting; with their cunning and strategic gaming experience, it would be easy to win with the Church of the Goddess of the Night faction.

The hardest part of this dungeon was actually breaking the balance, getting the factions to fight each other, or getting Gabriel to send his troops out properly.

"Attack the city!"

With a command from Karoso, the Undead Army and the Demon Army began to advance.

Varian was stunned.

Wow, this Flame Saint Child is really something, isn’t he so reckless?

You are attacking the city like this, aren’t you just asking for trouble?
