Facing a mysterious and unknown purpose, Carmier, who controls the Cathedral of Holy Light, also a disobedient person, advises Gauven to be vigilant and keep a distance. However, as the patriarch of the Southern Church and Wright, who insists on promoting the new teachings of Holy Light, believes that the other party can cooperate. This situation was something Gauven did not expect before.

He looked at Wright: "Tell me your reasons."

"From the reality, we cannot leave the Northern Church alone," said Wright seriously. "The issue of faith can easily evolve into fierce contradictions. The conflicts and opposition between the Church of Light and other denominations during the expansion of the past two years are an example. This is the problem in front of us. Let's not consider what His Highness Veronica's purpose is. It is a fact that she currently holds the platinum scepter, and it is also a fact that the fall of the Northern Pope and the Bishops. From these alone, she has the value of cooperation and she can help us control the situation, otherwise the turmoil in the Northern Church may turn into a disaster."

“Just based on value?”

"...No, there is another point," Wright continued, "if her identity is true, no matter what her purpose is, at least she is indeed a 'disobedient god' person. On this path of betraying God, there are not many like-minded people we can find, so even those who are just temporary people seem very precious."

After a brief pause, he continued: "We must convey the correct concept of belief to the world. This process may be inevitable, but we cannot rely on violence. There are many people in the world, and faith comes from the heart. We must eventually turn most of us into friends, not mortal enemies. Therefore, we must distinguish who can win over and who can win over. In my opinion, His Highness Veronica, or Ophelia Norton, are people who can win over, at least at this stage, it is necessary to win over."

Gao Wen looked at Wright in surprise.

Distinguish the primary and secondary of contradictions, distinguish the nature of the opposing group, distinguish who must be defeated, and distinguish who can be fought for... He has indeed mentioned this knowledge to everyone around him, and Wright has obviously achieved the level of skillful use and easy access.

It seems that after taking the position of Patriarch, this "Pastor" has really grown a lot. When his missionary goal has changed from scattered individuals to a whole group, his vision of things has become very different from before.

Gao Wen started to think.

Veronica/Ophilia, a "non-human person", is very clear about the potential hidden dangers of Veronica/Ophilia. It is bound to mean certain risks to attract such a mysterious person to his career, but her value is also obvious. The reception, transformation and other work of the Northern Church is even more imminent. Among the interests and risks, he needs a balance point.

Finally, he nodded slightly: "Perhaps we can cooperate with her for limited cooperation."

After all, Gao Wen could not trust a disobedient with a mystery with limited intelligence in such a short time, but he could not directly refuse the party when there was insufficient intelligence. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to reach a limited cooperation with Ophelia Norton. If the disobedient is willing to cooperate, be willing to act under a certain level of surveillance, and be willing to share some knowledge and intelligence.

After all, Gauven himself was also full of curiosity about Ophelia. He was curious about what this ancient disobedient was doing in the Church of Holy Light over the years, and curious about how much content there was in the huge disobedient plan that Carmire didn't know. And such a once-in-a-lifetime source of intelligence is now in the Cathedral of Holy Light... He really didn't want to miss it.

...

The front-line war in the far west subsided slightly, but the war that spread one third of the Holy Spirit Plain and severely damaged Ansu's hinterland was far from over.

At the edge of the plain, east of Solinburg, the mountain passes, and the thunder of war continued to roar.

This pass, composed of several ridges and a large number of staggered platforms, is the largest gateway to the East. Its former owner was Duke of Serrath Loren. The guardian of the East rushed out of this barrier and opened the prelude to the Kingdom's civil war with a blow to Thorin Fort Thorin. Its current owner is the powerful magic mechanized force of the Cecil Legion. Its occupies the ridges and high platforms here, and uses its steel defense line to fight against the chaotic crystal clusters that try to break through the blockade and enter the East.

Between the ridges, there were thunderstorms. In the rock bunker created by engineering spells, magic crystal rail guns were protruding their acceleration tracks between the rocks and trees, and accompanied by flashes, sending deadly shells to the distance; on the high ground, flames were sprayed, and heavy burners in the bunker kept burning the mountain path, turning those crystal cluster monsters that escaped the bombardment of the artillery into ashes.

In the middle of the pass, between the layers of bunkers, walls and sentry towers, there is the fortress at the core of this line of defense and the command post. The powerful armored train, the Iron Throne - No. 0.

The mobile fortress covered with black armor and thick shields is slowly approaching the predetermined position. With the sound of mechanical devices running, the repulsive nodes in various parts of the train locked, and the entire vehicle was steadily parked on the track. The main guns in the arsenal section of the train opened fire at the same time. With several sharp whistles, the magic crystal shells fired by the heavy rail gun roared through the air and fell into the distance.

In the tactical section of the Iron Throne Zero, Commander Maryland was standing in front of the Magic Net terminal and reporting the battle situation to Gao Wen in the picture: "A new batch of chariots have arrived at the front line, the Solinburg defense line has been consolidated, and the eastern border is safe."

Behind the commander, outside the crystal window covered with enhanced shields, a land burned by artillery fire and burners was presented. The lined whistle towers and armed platforms were filled with metal and cement texture, and were illuminated again and again in the flash of magic crystal rail guns when they were fired. The transfer device of the armed platform was connected to the Iron Throne. A new batch of chariots transported from the White Sand area to the front line were unloading from the Iron Throne's transport section, preparing to accept adjustments from the Mechanics Bachelor's and put into the battlefield. A large number of soldiers drawn from the Kant area also got out of the car. Those fully armed black-armored soldiers were gathering on the armed platform to be inspected by their respective commanders.

The holographic image above the Magic Net terminal was glowing, and Gao Wen's voice sounded slightly disturbing: "Have you discovered any large-scale visions on the plain?"

"We have not yet discovered that we have pushed the northern defense line to the intersection of the celestial road. Observation posts have been set up along the way, but no vision has been found," Commander Maryland responded seriously. "Now we are opening up the battlefield in the south and building a second railway line, and maybe some discoveries will be made."

Outside the Iron Throne, between the mountains and rocks, a metal rail with an elegant arc suddenly popped out and pointed to the battlefield. With a low buzzing sound, a dazzling and terrifying white beam of light broke through the dusk dark sky, crossed the Iron Throne, armed platforms, front-line barriers and bunker groups, slowly swept across the plains, and strafed the battlefield.

The powerful flash penetrated the window and reflected on Maryland's cheeks, and also made the interior of the tactical section cabin look particularly bright. Gao Wen in the communicator frowned: "Is that rainbow cannon just now? The monster's offensive is very fierce?"

"Yes, I'm about to report that this has happened in the past two days. The attack frequency of those crystal cluster monsters is accelerating, and the intensity is also increasing. There will even be a large army charging. It depends on the four calibrator beam cannons set on the mountain to clear it. This large army rarely appeared after the crystal cluster monsters fell into a frenzy."

"This may be some kind of omen. The strongest 'monster' that will eventually die will be created and out of control should have begun to move," Gao Wen said quickly. "Continue to pay close attention to the situation on the plains, report any vision as soon as possible. Also remind the armored commandos entering the war zone that once they encounter strange and powerful enemies, don't fight to the death, retreat as soon as possible, and ensure that intelligence is the most priority."

"yes."

After the communication ended, Maryland breathed a sigh of relief, then went to the window covered with shields, staring at the steel line, and the scorched earth plain outside the line of defense.

The orbital system carrying the Iron Throne has extended to the edge of Solin Castle, and the defense line has also advanced to the edge of Solin Castle. At the foot of the mountains connecting the East and the Holy Spirit Plain, countless temporary bunkers, mail towers, artillery positions and Iron Throne have formed an indestructible line of defense. However, this line of defense does not use solid walls and shields to resist the enemy, or rather, it is not just using solid walls and shields to resist the enemy.

Its main defense method is to smash all those who are close.

Maryland, who has been a commander at Rock Fortress for many years, has always been quite confident in the field of defensive warfare, but it was not until he came into contact with the Cecils that he found the true meaning of defensive warfare as if he opened the door to a new world.

The best defense is attack, just as the popular saying of the White Knights: The best treatment is to kill the attacker in advance.

Behind the "platform" where the Iron Throne was docked, a stone ridge was on the top of a whistle tower built with a metal frame standing in the wind, and the shimmer of shields floated around the tower, and the crystal device used for communication and transit signals on the top of the tower slowly rotated under the drive of the mechanical structure. Below the crystal device, in a small house covered with steel plates, the sentry was vigilantly observing the direction of the plain.

The sentry held a military telescope in his hand. This new telescope also added a spell state to enhance the field of vision based on the original optical structure, further improving the effect of ordinary people when using it. In the clear field of vision generated by the telescope, the sentry's sight was slowly sweeping across a piece of ruins in the distance.

Except for the occasional appearance of crystal cluster monsters running around in the field of vision, everything seems to be normal.

The sentry retracted his gaze and rubbed his eyes, but just as he was about to turn his gaze in another direction, a strange flash suddenly emerged into his gaze.

The flash lit up from a very far distance, not bright, but it seemed to have a strong sense of existence with some magic. The sentry thought it was him who had an illusion, but soon he saw the second flash appear, and then the flash turned into a constant light, rising in the distance...

In the war zone filled with all kinds of magic powers, it is not worth making a fuss about just some light, but after watching the light for a moment, the sentry suddenly had a hint of palpitations. He actually felt a malice in the light that seemed to be substantial!

Without hesitation, the Sentinel immediately took a button closest to him.

The harsh alarm ringtone sounded in the tactical section of the Iron Throne. Maryland suddenly raised his head and heard a communication from the sentry on the top of the mountain: "Sir! Unknown flashes were observed in the southwest direction! The flashes have extraordinary power!"

Maryland soon observed the light that appeared on the plains. Now it has completely constant as a hazy beam of light and exudes a strong sense of existence. As the light floats, there is a strange sense of malice and madness that keeps coming.

That illusory aura did not have any substantial impact, but it was enough to make Maryland instantly alert and realize that it might be the "distinct" that Gao Wen referred to.

"Connect San Sunil immediately," the commander said loudly, and then turned to his subordinates. "Knight Amper, immediately send a reconnaissance force to go to the place where the light rises to check the situation, remember not to be careless!"

...

To the southwest of the Iron Throne Defense Line, near the ruins of Solin Castle covered with scorched wasteland, the earth had cracked. A huge figure, shrouded in holy light, but filled with a breath of chaos, slowly walked out of the crack on the ground and stood quietly.

This is a huge giant deer with light-cast antlers and crystal-built eyes. Pure brilliance surrounds it. A holy sound floats faintly in the light. However, the giant deer's body is hideous and terrifying, which is daunting: its fur is cracked, and its dirty flesh is rolling and squirming between the fur. A large number of charred or festering scars are spread all over its limbs. A swollen and deformed structure can be seen around the wound. Every muscle and every inch of its skin is constantly agitating and trembling, just as if the flesh and blood structures were forcibly pieced together by countless disordered factors, and they are struggling to split at this moment.
