Chapter 329: The War Begins! Scared Out of One's Wits!
What happened in the Kingdom of Horton was quickly learned by the Miracle City.
The Holy Spirits descended by the Kingdom of Xiling carried out a decapitation strike plus a purge against the Kingdom of Horton.
The High Officials of the Kingdom of Horton suffered a devastating blow.
The Wang Gong and the church headquarters were both wiped out.
However, at the time the King of the Kingdom of Horton and the Archbishop of the church were together, and by luck they escaped the disaster!
In addition, within the Kingdom of Horton, a large number of church buildings in various cities also suffered strikes.
Among these church buildings, there had originally been the most suitable "vessels" for the Holy Spirits' descent in the Kingdom of Horton, but now they have all been purged clean.
Immediately after, the church of the Kingdom of Xiling began large-scale propaganda.
"The god of the Kingdom of Horton has already been defeated at the hands of our god. Now, we are about to enter the Kingdom of Horton and bring the Kingdom of Horton under the glory of our god!"
In the church of every city, there were bishops preaching this matter.
They completely turned black and white upside down.
That is to say, on the very next day, the war brazenly began!
The royal army and the church army of the Kingdom of Xiling, long prepared, seized the southern highlands of the Kingdom of Horton with the speed of a thunderbolt!
After taking the southern highlands, on the plains to the north of the highlands, the numerous cities no longer had any natural defenses — one could say it was flat and open all the way!
And the armies conscripted from the nobles of the Kingdom of Xiling also continuously headed toward the southern highlands.
And the two hundred and thirty thousand troops of the Wangshiyu Sect did not wait for the armies conscripted from the nobles, choosing instead to drive straight in; in just a few short days, they took the entire southern region of the Kingdom of Horton!
Although the High Officials of the Kingdom of Horton suffered a devastating blow, the power of resistance still existed, and their army was still very large. However, they completely abandoned the southern region, handing over one-third of their territory to the Kingdom of Xiling, and chose to organize their defense on a highland in the central region.
The army of the Kingdom of Xiling also stopped advancing; they had to wait for the armies conscripted from the nobles, and their several Holy Spirits were still recovering their strength.
After all, the purge operation had cost these Holy Spirits a great deal of strength!
The war had only just begun, and the Kingdom of Horton had already lost one-third of its territory!
It can be said that the Kingdom of Horton fell into an extremely unfavorable situation right from the start of the war!
The god of the Kingdom of Xiling chose to take a risky military move, and indeed it achieved the best effect!
In the Miracle City, Lin Yan's Holy Maidens had been keeping a close eye on this war.
Princess Luoying and the Eldest Princess had already left the Miracle City and gone to contact some great nobles who were loyal to the royal family.
And in the Kingdom of Xiling, with the outbreak of the war, the price of grain rose further, which led to more and more people coming to haul potatoes.
Even some nobles treated potatoes as military rations.
And for commoners, hauling potatoes could not only earn money, but also crucially solve their own food problem — two birds with one stone, why wouldn't it be wonderful!
Under such circumstances, the potatoes of Yan Country became even more popular in the Kingdom of Xiling.
And the gold coins of Yan Country also became widely accepted in the Kingdom of Xiling.
The gold coins of Yan Country were of very good quality, and as time went on, some people discovered that the gold coins actually contained magical protection.
The more gold coins one carried on one's person, the better the magical protection!
This made the people of the Kingdom of Xiling unable to put down the gold coins of Yan Country.
Their curiosity about the Lord of Flames grew more and more.
Affected by both the potatoes and the gold coins, now in the Kingdom of Xiling, the fame of the Lord of Flames has already spread widely!
"Sister Mengying, the god of the Kingdom of Xiling has even been defeated in the divine war. You say this god still dares to be so arrogant as to actively attack the country of the victorious side — won't they strike back at his divine kingdom?"
Princess Luodi voiced the curiosity in her heart.
The young girl Mengying gently shook her head and said:
"The situation in the celestial realm is unclear to me as well, but since the god of the Kingdom of Xiling dares to do this, he must have his own reliance."
Princess Luodi asked again: "Sister Mengying, has our god sent down a revelation?"
Mengying nodded: "Mm, our god has already sent down a revelation. Although the Kingdom of Horton is now on the defensive, the counterattack of the Kingdom of Horton will certainly be extremely fierce. When the Kingdom of Horton launches a full-scale counterattack, that will be the time for us to dispatch troops!"
Now, every day the girls would gather for a while to follow the latest progress.
In fact, an uninvited guest had come to the Miracle City.
That was the Holy Spirit whose body had been shattered in the Kingdom of Horton.
"She never leaves the temple, which is quite a bother."
This Holy Spirit was hiding on the giant torch of the temple plaza, observing the temple from on high.
The flame on this torch was not a magical flame, but one produced by burning firewood.
This is the tradition of the Miracle City.
