Chapter 563: The Host Becomes the Guest. Avali Invites You (Two in One)
Many princes looked at the people sitting down one after another, and felt a little dizzy in their heads. Unconsciously, they didn't know when they lost their strength and sat down.
Avali looked at all this with a pale face, and silently found that he still underestimated the power of this person. He also underestimated his preparations for annexing the Southern Wilderness.
He couldn't guess when the Holy Court, the Frost King, or the Lord of Dawn started to arrange. But this person's arrival was a knife!
He couldn't understand why the tribes and nobles who were still expressing their attitudes at noon suddenly changed their attitudes 180 degrees.
Everyone seemed to have suddenly changed their attitudes overnight, which shocked him greatly. He felt that there must be something strange in it, but these sudden changes of the inner ghosts had already affected everyone-if he could influence many people overnight, then no matter what means he used, it would be more terrifying.
In particular, he influenced the elders.
This knife really stabbed into the heart of the tribe - he was right, the tribe was originally a piece of loose sand, and a Frost Fang was enough to make this piece of loose sand that was forcibly condensed by rain into chaos.
And using these tribes, the fuse that he had buried deep underground in the Southern Wilderness will be easily untied and ignited.
The second prince, the Eagle Dockre, was the second sober person. After thinking it through, he turned pale at the moment. He pursed his lips and looked at George who was looking at him on the high platform, and asked in a hoarse voice.
"May I ask the Holy Envoy, which knight group is in charge of the Holy Court?"
He had to ask this question, because the amulet he saw on Moss was too strange!
"I have many knight groups in charge." George put his hands up and looked at the general below and asked, "Which one are you asking about."
After hearing this, Avali felt a little dizzy.
The eyes of the second prince, the eagle, ‘Dokre’, were extremely strange: “I think you must have heard it wrong. I am talking about the commander, not the general commander. Sir.”
“I am talking about the general commander.”
‘Dokre’ widened his eyes, and he couldn’t help but frowned and asked: “Sir, forgive me for being presumptuous, as far as I know, the troops under the command of the Divine Grace Knights are at most one Temple Knights!”
Generally speaking, no matter how high the status of a high-level Divine Grace Knight is, he can only command one Temple Knights at most - or a mixed Temple Knights unit composed of three Templar Knights.
After defeating the ‘Knights of the Sun’ in the Sun City in the South Wilderness, the Holy See was dealing with plagues and demons in various places, so it sent a mixed Temple Knights unit composed of three Templar Knights to counterattack.
These three Templar Knights are the ‘Thorn Birds’, the ‘Knights of the Moon’ and the brother unit of the Sun Knights - the Knights of Judgment.
These three knights, led by 500 Templar Knights, total 20,000 people (not counting the regular troops of the seven countries).
"Coincidentally, the number of my legions is just a little more than what you said." George touched his chin, stretched out his hand, and made a small gesture with his thumb and index finger.
To be precise, the current strength of the shelter is three legions - three times more than what Dockley expected.
Two more is indeed just a little more, but George does not intend to tell these people the real strength - after tonight, they will give themselves a guess in their hearts.
These three legions, one is the Temple Knights: 500 'big red robe' (gold-rimmed red bottom) Dawn Knights. 300 Heavenly Kingdom Armed Forces, commanding 30,000 Iron Wall Knights.
The second legion is: the three Templar Knights of Black Lake, Bianhe, and Slaughter Wolf, a total of 1,000 'red robe' Dawn Knights, 6,000 white robe knights, and 30,000 gray robe knights (20,000 new soldiers of the Green Water and 10,000 Wing Wind Guards).
The third legion is composed of the ‘New Thorn Birds’ and 30,000 modern magic troops of the Skyhawk.
In addition to these three legions, there are actually several other external troops - the garrison battalion, the mercenary groups that grew up in various parts of Elda, and Alfonso's troops are not counted. Because they are all regular troops.
The strength of these external troops is not weaker than the Templar Knights, because one of them is the ‘Heroic Corps (4,000)’, one is the ‘Underworld Corps (4,000)’, and one is the Demon Corps.
The Demon Corps is the most special, led by Hillyak. In addition to the more than 1,000 demon spiders led by Agatha who participated in the Battle of the Wind and survived, and the former multi-headed demon spiders of the Black Heart Clan that were engraved with divine patterns, there are more than 2,000 demon spider laborers in the shelter (mostly brainless puppets controlled by brain spiders). There are also a large number of demon spiders that are not engraved with divine patterns.
These tens of thousands of demon spiders are concentrated in the two demon spider nests in the valley and the basin, and the total number may exceed 10,000! They are led by loyal spider queens of each new generation, but because they are not all marked with divine patterns, they are double-edged swords - when a fight really breaks out, hungry demon spiders alone may even eat humans.
So George doesn't trust them. Only when he has to, he will choose to let Hillyak and the spider queens pull out this team.
In addition to all the above troops, there are many demon elites who have not been reorganized, including a dozen big demons led by Thor, a dozen fallen valkyries (big demon level) led by Shayel. And more than a hundred black demons currently imprisoned in the Cathedral of Dawn.
These more than a hundred black demons are managed by the "Forbidden Dawn Society" and are in a "sleeping state". Anthony usually wakes up some to do experiments to understand the weaknesses of various demons and the magic that can enter the demons.
These demons kept dying in the laboratory, and were constantly captured by mercenaries from the Western Region.
In an emergency, if you have enough power of order, you can seal it in a book and pull it out to defend the city.
If they are too poor to come up with money, these special mercenaries with no loyalty at all can still win some one-sided battles under the pressure of 'Syljak', 'Queen of the Netherworld' and others.
And if we count the undead that Anthony controlled using the Heart of the Black Pearl, there are also the red demons and chaotic species in the sanctuary that can be controlled by the apprentice with a wand and kept in captivity. Come on, come on, this most special monster army compiled from outside can add up to 20,000 to 30,000 people.
Therefore, in fact, there are no longer as many sanctuaries as there are in the Holy Court - but many troops are still training, and some new troops are not yet fully equipped.
After seeing George make a small gesture, the corners of many princes' eyes twitched slightly.
"You mean, you have more than one Templar Knights, but also some Templar Knights?" Dockray's eyes became even weirder.
"I am in charge of the temple, and I am in charge of the Knights of the Temple."
George wiped the corners of his mouth, feeling that he was full and seemed not to stay here any longer. And he didn't plan to dwell on this topic anymore - he had said enough today, and the Eighth Division would digest it by himself in the evening.
How much strength does the 'Holy Court' in the west have? With the cooperation of Erda and Frostfang, how much energy does it have, and how much impact will it have on the northern and southern wilderness. They can still make some assessments.
Whether it is cooperation or confrontation, they will think clearly.
But then he changed his focus. Before leaving today, he wanted to explain something clearly in front of everyone.
He stood up and began to walk out, his voice resounding throughout the hall: "I came to visit today just to inform you of one thing - from now on, I will be in charge of the affairs of the Western Theater Command. Rodenk and Elda are under my jurisdiction, and Iberia is also under my jurisdiction. If something happens in Sun City, I will take care of it!"
"In short, the things that the Holy Court has no time to take care of, and the things that cannot be taken care of, are now under my control - because God the Father has raised me up from the kingdom of heaven."
With a clang, the wine glass in Cathedral Bishop Ironser's hand fell down. In this quiet hall, the sound seemed so harsh.
Amidst bursts of silence, George had already walked out of the high platform, passed the second prince who was stagnant in place, and walked towards his knights. But he did not look back, and a voice sounded from behind: "You just asked me about my position in the Holy Court - indeed, the Holy Court granted me a position to command a war zone. But I think many of you should be able to know , that’s not the point, because my responsibilities go beyond that.”
"Because I have the final say over the angels led by the seven gods in the world." Having said this, George turned back and looked at the many tribal lords in the hall: "Yes, you call them the sun here. God and the Moon God, not the Seven Gods. In fact, they like you to call them the gods of protection. Of course, you can call them whatever you want, and you can believe in them. Because they are one."
Having said this, he grabbed the ears of Lorna, Milim and Soraya who were already asleep, and asked many knights to lift them up.
"As their archangel, in addition to looking after their homes and hospitals in heaven, I also have only one responsibility under this heaven, and that is to lead him to lead the lost believers."
"The battle of faith seems ridiculous to me."
"You can't even tell whether the Sun God is a boy or a girl, why are you talking about your faith with me? Has the Sun God ever responded to you?"
"Your faith has long been lost - including the priests in the Sun Temple, who have not heard the oracle for many years!"
"But the Sun God has not given up on you. He has not given up on the tribe, because I am here. And those of you who have not forgotten your true beliefs should have heard the Sun God's voice."
George turned around and no longer looked at the people in the hall. He walked forward and led his knights out of the hall without looking back amid the bows of many elders and shamans.
Bishop Ironser came back to his senses at this time. He looked at Salman and then wiped off the sticky wine on his body. He nodded arrogantly to the lords and princes of the Southern Wilderness. Following the figures of the Dawn Knights who had gone out in front, they walked out of the hall.
Then he picked up his robe and chased after him in the corridor.
During the chase, his shouting voice was so loud that it echoed in the main hall from the corridor.
"My lord! My lord! Please stay in Halinska for a few more days!"
Originally, George thought that the Eight Great Men would have a good night tonight, but he never thought that these people would be more restless than he imagined.
When George came to the cathedral and was instructing the saints to give Soraya and others a good bath and then wait for them to rest, various people had already arrived.
Before things were fully fermented, many people had already arrived. It can be said that many people have smelled something unusual and are doing things very efficiently.
The arrival of these people forced George, who had originally planned to visit the Night Temple, to put his plan on hold. The entire cathedral became busy.
Each team received many gifts, and according to reason, the delegation should also return the gifts. Gail has already moved the team to the cathedral, and the goods in these carriages brought today are not in vain.
The priests of the cathedral are arranging these people.
Mainly nobles from all parties, merchant groups from all parties, and people from the eight major departments.
Many dukes and marquises even came in person, and the people from the eight major departments, and the envoys of various countries and the leaders of the major merchant groups who originally visited Harlinska, also came in person.
And not only the envoys of various small countries, but also the envoys of the Sand Country and the Star Country came. It’s just that the Star Country is not led by the leader, but a diplomatic envoy.
Just when the cathedral was in chaos, the people of the Temple of the Sun also quietly came in from the back door. And not only did they come in a low-key manner, but they also wore veils and long clothes. They covered their whole bodies tightly.
The people in the temple did not meet these visitors because the visitors were too special.
They were saints.
The purpose of these saints coming here was also very simple - to serve their masters.
And the identity of the adult who sent them was also very interesting - the high priest.
It seems that he has returned to the temple and has learned something about what he should know.
From this, it can be seen that the people Soraya met in the temple today are not only extremely loyal to her, but also very serious about keeping secrets. So much so that the leader of the temple did not know the news in advance because he had been staying in the Harinska Palace.
Sitting at the door of the hall, Salman, who came out with George, smiled strangely and said, "Boss, I didn't expect that the high priest turned out to be on our side. I'm afraid his face will be very interesting when he goes back."
Although this guy knew that George and Soraya were both archangels of the sun god very early. But he never thought that Soraya could really have such power - the scene of the elders bowing their heads was still like a dream in his mind until now.
And the banquet tonight was even more fantastic. His boss was not bragging. He only brought a few people and managed these arrogant people in the southern wilderness.
Thinking of the Iberian nobles who had just come to visit, Salman couldn't help but straighten his chest.
In the past, which of these nobles with masters didn't give him face when he visited them in person? Ha~ Now they all ask for help from him? One by one, as cautious as a dog!
What kind of master you follow, what kind of face you have. This sentence made Salman experience it truly today.
"Well," George looked at the carriages crowded in front of the door, and said to William, Brenda and Bishop Ainser beside him: "I'm going to the Harinska Palace with Salman and Aji. You two and Lord Ainser should entertain these people. Although our station is in the west, we represent the Holy See. We can't lose etiquette."
