The next step is to consolidate faith and strength, and make preparations as much as possible when the Holy Church attacks Hook Territory.
Unfortunately, the center of the Holy Church in Dale Province is in Dale City, which is the core city of Earl Dyson, otherwise he would have thought of destroying the cathedral when they attacked Hook Territory.
Earl Dyson would definitely not let their army enter the city. If they want to destroy the power of the Holy Church in Dale Province, they must destroy Earl Dyson at the same time. He does not have the strength to destroy both of them at the same time.
But this is a matter of time. Alfonso now holds territories including three baronies and one viscounty. The territory is more than half of Earl Dyson's, which can already pose a certain threat to him. He must have entered his suppression range. It is only a matter of time before a dispute arises. Perhaps one day, Earl Dyson will suddenly send troops to attack Alfonso for some reason.
"We need to defeat Earl Dyson before the Church Knights destroy Hook Territory!"
Sitting cross-legged in front of the statue, Lin Xiaoru said to Alfonso:
"I will give you two months to prepare sufficient logistics, and start attacking Viscount Fetan Territory in two months." Viscount Fetan
Territory is a lord between the current Gibson Territory and Earl Dyson Territory. Annexing this Viscount Territory will directly face Earl Dyson.
No, it should be said that when they attack Viscount Fetan Territory, Earl Dyson will intervene, and at that time it is equivalent to a direct battle between them and Earl Dyson.
Unfortunately, the current Viscount of the Fetan family is Earl Dyson's marriage, and it is right between the two, so it is impossible to bypass them, otherwise he may not necessarily spend this effort to fight two.
When Lin Xiao was preparing to open up this road to challenge the local overlord, in another kingdom thousands of kilometers away from here, more than a thousand soldiers gathered in front of a big city. The big city was densely guarded. It seemed that both the number and quality of the guards were stronger than those under the city wall, but they could only defend.
Many generals on the city wall looked at the center of the army below with complicated expressions. There was a young man with his arms around and his feet suspended in the air. Circles of colorful halos surged around like pulses, extending to 500 meters away.
If Lin Xiao was here, he would definitely recognize that this halo was a circle of domain. In this domain, the energy that was originally lifeless and solidified began to become active.
In layman's terms, the world without magic began to become active after being shrouded by this domain, and extraordinary power could be exerted within this range.
Deng Nuolan, the son of the spirit domain, opened his hands and slowly stood up. This action made the defenders on the city wall retreat or make defensive actions subconsciously. Deng Nuolan laughed at this.
With this high-level relic from his true body, he was able to ignore the suppression of the plane rules and use extraordinary power. With the power of the current senior totem master apprentice, he was completely crushed in this plane. In just a few months, he conquered a powerful army and was now attacking the most powerful enemy in this area, a marquis.
As long as he defeats this marquis and breaks through this city, basically no one in this province can resist him.
After unifying the entire province and recuperating for a period of time, he can attack other provinces, until the entire kingdom, and then the continent.
Deng Nolan is confident about this. Others can only act within the constraints of the rules framework, but he can break the rules. With the power of this field, no one is his opponent. It is only a matter of time to unify the entire continent.
"I need fear and destruction!"
Deng Nolan, who was suspended in the air, grabbed the sky with both hands. The sky began to twist and a strange red color appeared, which became thicker and thicker.
A feeling of impending disaster fell from the sky, and the defenders on the city wall showed fear.
An old man in a gorgeous robe and holding a luxurious staff hid in the shelter under the Great Temple surrounded by many clergy. Even the shelter that has not been used for many years is decorated with gold and jade. The faces of the senior clergy gathered in the shelter are extremely ugly.
"Why can the devil master the power of evil, but the great Lord cannot..."
"Shut up!"
The archbishop, who looked old and dying, suddenly burst into a loud voice and scolded:
"The great holy Lord is omnipotent. The Kingdom of Heaven has sent a message that a holy knight from the Kingdom of Heaven has come to kill the devil."
The depressed clergyman was immediately refreshed when he heard the name of the holy knight. His low mood was swept away and he was full of confidence in the future.
The archbishop ignored the whispers of his subordinates and came to the core prayer room of the shelter. There was a white angel statue standing in the center of the prayer room. He knelt in front of the angel statue and bowed his head to recite silently. He did not notice that the angel statue was emitting a circle of imperceptible light as he whispered prayers.
"Boom!"
The dazzling fire mixed with the terrifying shock wave formed a ring of flames that exploded with the meteorite falling point as the center. A section of the city wall was blown to pieces on the spot, and a huge pit was formed in the original place. The shock wave extended to hundreds of meters away. The ground was charred black, and the ground was full of shattered building debris and burned corpses.
With the power of the relic, Deng Nolan recovered his ability to cast spells and summoned a meteorite directly.
A small meteorite, with a diameter of about two or three meters, can easily destroy a section of the city wall and directly blow up a gap of hundreds of meters.
He also needs faith, otherwise he can directly summon a meteorite of more than ten meters to fall, which can directly destroy the entire city.
This blow directly destroyed the morale of the defenders in the city. The morale of the private army belonging to the lords and nobles of this city plummeted, but the knights belonging to the church still had the strength to fight. Under the command of a knight commander, they rushed to the shattered gap and engaged in street fighting with the attacking enemies.
These church knights were orphans or beggars adopted by the church since childhood. They were extremely devout in their faith and could almost be called dead soldiers. Even this desperate blow could boost their morale. No, to be precise, they had no morale, but they had the will to fight to the death for the church.
This will can make them know that they will die without hesitation. Even if the second meteorite fell and blew up the cathedral in the center of the city half an hour after the battle, it did not disappear, but became more determined.
Five hours later, the last church knight died in battle and the war ended.
The marquis fled to other parts of the territory, and Dunolan officially occupied the provincial capital.
At this time, the Church of Life and Wisdom where Lin Xiao was located was also beginning to mobilize troops. Alfonso ignored Earl Dyson's rebuke and marched to the border of the two territories, preparing to attack Viscount Fetan, who was supported by Earl Dyson.
The war was about to break out, and all the lords and nobles in the entire Dale Province were watching. The vast majority of nobles and lords supported Earl Dale, but a small number of nobles also contacted Alfonso privately.
These were all speculators. Once Alfonso was expected to defeat Earl Dale, they would immediately jump out to support Alfonso.
The entire Dale Province focused all its attention on the border between Gibson Territory and Viscount Fetan Territory, but Lin Xiao, the initiator, did not pay attention to it, but stayed in the temple of Forle Village, opening his mouth wide and looking at the faint glow emanating from the rough statue in the temple with surprise.
This radiance is invisible to ordinary people, and has never been seen before. Lin Xiao only suddenly discovered it during the routine mass ceremony yesterday.
If it were placed in other planes, this radiance would be a normal gathering of faith power, but in this world without magic, this abnormality suddenly appeared, which is very abnormal.
"Prepare a set of perception amplification array for me."
Lin Xiao wrote a small note and put it into the magic cube of creation.
He had a crazy guess, although it was outrageous, but there were few guesses that could explain the current situation.
In the divine domain, Lin Xiao was also stunned when he received this note, and then showed a surprised expression, muttering to himself:
"It can't be such a coincidence, spiritual energy revival? No, elemental tide? Is this the will of the plane awakening?"
The real body had several guesses just based on this sentence on the note, and this one was the most consistent with the current situation.
A world without magic suddenly appeared supernatural, which could only be the revival of spiritual energy, but whether it was an occasional elemental fluctuation or the will of the plane was really about to awaken, it was necessary to use the perception amplification array to take a good look.
This array can greatly enhance his perception, increase the intensity and sensitivity of perception by multiples, so as to experience the element fluctuations of the whole world. It is easy to sense whether it is an occasional element fluctuation or an element tidal fluctuation that is about to awaken the will of the plane.
Lin Xiao needs to confirm this. If it is just an occasional element fluctuation, it will be fine, but if it is the will of the plane that is about to awaken, then he has to think carefully about the follow-up plan and re-formulate the follow-up plan.
Not long after, Lin Xiao's incarnation received four huge metal plates engraved with array patterns, which together formed a complete perception amplification array.
He directly put the array in the temple and assembled it, and then took out several energy crystals and embedded them in the grooves of the metal plates to provide energy for the array.
Sitting in the metal plate, he put the last energy crystal into the central groove of the array, and the array was quickly activated. In an instant, a powerful distortion formed around it. Lin Xiao felt that his will was quickly distorted and expanded by this force, becoming more and more powerful and sensitive.
A speck of dust that he would never pay attention to passed by his face. He would not feel it before, but now it feels like something has passed by his face, and the touch of passing by his face is extremely obvious.
But what concerned him more was not the dust, but the dense sound waves that were only faintly visible now, surrounding him. He felt like he was in a concert hall with surround speakers, with sounds everywhere, but he could not sense the source of the sound, as if it appeared out of thin air from the depths of the void.
The sound was extremely vague, as if countless people were talking together, but the experienced Lin Xiao could tell that the sound was the sound waves formed by the prayers of countless believers.
Lin Xiao's expression was extremely solemn, and he felt that he might have to change his plan.
