Chapter 532: Compensate Him with the Starburst Array

~7 min read 1,271 words

Before reconnecting with Anthony, the Warlock Alliance experienced a fierce quarrel.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Thirty million expeditionary army? Do you think they are Chinese cabbage? Logistics, transportation, equipment, organization, etc. —just transporting thirty million people over is an impossible task. Cabrera, you've been fooled," Lainaxi said loudly.

Before Cabrera could answer, Ladiyad had already said: "No, it's possible. Don't forget the Elf Beans. If the God Realm has a large amount of Elf Beans, then more than half of the logistics problem is solved. As for transporting them over, even the God of Life could come over, let alone ordinary humans. They certainly master one or even several methods of long-range delivery."

Ladiyad had originally been released after his key memories were wiped, but he couldn't forget the various materials he saw at the Life God Pool and volunteered to run back to be a captive again.

【No Anti-Theft】

However, Ang and the others had moved away, and only Duluoke was still entrenched there, so there was no fear of exposing any secrets, and his freedom wasn't restricted.

Now facing the incident of the invasion of the thirty-million-strong Holy War Army, everyone hurriedly summoned him back, because there were very few Joint Warlocks left who could make decisions.

Truth Eye Cabrera, Pure Water Luoluoka, Spirit Abyss Laixina, God-Creating Warlock Ladiyad—originally there was also the Void Ghost Hayden, but Hayden's soul stone was shattered, and it was estimated that he was in dire straits.

Among the twelve Joint Warlocks, three died in battle, and four followed the Lord of Extinction and were trapped in the Extinction Barrier.

So, if Ladiyad didn't come back, there would only be three left... no, Luoluoke would only say "I am not pure" on the side and wouldn't make decisions.

Facing a major event like a thirty-million-strong God Realm expeditionary army with only two Joint Warlocks, the decisions made—let alone whether they were useful—even they themselves felt guilty.

On the contrary, because of his personality, Ladiyad was very capable of making major decisions. After making a decision, he would go all out to execute it. Even death couldn't scare him, and he wouldn't hesitate. He was a very executive decision-maker.

Plus, Laixina only listened to Ladiyad. In this situation where there was no leader, letting Ladiyad make the decision was the most appropriate.

Sure enough, Ladiyad stated his conjecture, and Laixina listened immediately, frowning and saying: "Even if half of the logistics are solved, a thirty-million-strong expeditionary army is too ridiculous. They aren't undead creatures; how can they casually summon tens of millions? This is equivalent to hollowing out a generation of the God Realm."

Ladiyad said: "Even if there aren't thirty million, only three million, or even only three hundred thousand, as long as they are transferred over, it's a big trouble. They aren't undead creatures; anyone can drive flying cars, airships, or other flying equipment. It is even rumored that the Church of Light has void flying fortresses like Heavenly Kingdom Fortresses. Their threat to us is much greater than undead creatures."

Lainaxi and Cabrera felt a thud in their hearts simultaneously. They had been scared by the number thirty million at first, so they didn't think carefully. But now, thinking carefully, even if it were a hundred times less, only three hundred thousand, that was still a terrifying number. Even if they couldn't destroy the Warlock Alliance, they could bring them significant losses.

Three hundred thousand was already a headache. What about three million? What if the other party wasn't bragging, and the number thirty million was also true?

Heavens, wasn't it said that the master of the God Realm was an undead creature? Why was the Church of Light's power so great?

Laixina thought of this point and said hesitantly: "Is it possible that the other party doesn't even have three hundred thousand people? Wasn't it said that the God Realm was also conquered by undead creatures? What if these church people were driven out by undead creatures and then bragged about having so many people to scare us?"

Ladiyad nodded: "It's possible. You have seen them; what kind of people do you think they are?"

Ladiyad had actually seen them too, but his memory had been wiped, and he couldn't remember the situation at the time.

Laixina recalled the situation at the beginning and took a deep breath: "Very unfathomable. I can't see through them, but I feel they can easily see through me."

"If that's the case, then the other party's number might not be casually spoken. Even if they are bragging, it's bragging with a basis. Then what do you think they would brag based on?" Ladiyad asked.

Everyone exchanged glances. After a long while, Cabrera said: "If it were me, I would brag based on the maximum number I could mobilize. Even if I couldn't send so many people, I would at least have to have them. If I were bragging, I would brag about eight ladders, and I wouldn't go brag about eight hundred thousand people, because the Alliance doesn't have so many people combined."

Ladiyad analyzed: "The communication was initiated by you, so they didn't have time to fabricate a reasonable number. So this quantity must be a number they can contact in their daily lives and is reasonable. If you were a small lord, would you fabricate this number? Just thinking about it feels absurd. This Anthony should be able to mobilize tens of millions of people."

Although it was unbelievable, it was reasonable. After all, he was the Pope of Light; mobilizing tens of millions of people wasn't impossible. Even if they couldn't all be sent on an expedition, sending one percent would be enough for the Warlock Alliance to suffer.

"Then what should we do now?" Cabrera became distressed: "They have determined that we attacked the God Realm with a Starburst, and came to settle the score with us. Either go to war or apologize and compensate. They have now put the number thirty million on the table, so this isn't something that can be dismissed by casually compensating for some things."

Ladiyad gave a sneer. Gnomes are always so stingy. At this time, they still want to 'casually compensate for some things to dismiss them'? Dreaming?

What is the Church of Light? A religion that believes in the Light. What did the Starburst release? A Faith Storm. The Faith Storm targets gods. Now they have bombed someone else's god, and still want to casually dismiss them?

Perhaps it was because there had been no gods in this world for a long time, and everyone didn't understand the significance of gods to the church, which was why they had such thoughts.

Ladiyad even suspected that Anthony's so-called compensation and apology was just smoke, because the most conventional consequence of blasphemy is a Holy War.

Just when everyone was at their wit's end, a giant stone slab suddenly floated in from outside.

This stone slab was incomparably huge, a full ten meters long, five meters wide, and one meter thick, as upright as a bed board. Incomparably mysterious magic patterns were engraved on it, and the recessed positions of the magic patterns flashed with faint fluorescence.

It moved in slowly, and the moment they saw it appear, everyone in the Joint Conference, including Ladiyad and Cabrera, knelt down on one knee: "Greetings to the Lord of Extinction."

A phantom floated up from the stone slab, and a voice sounded in everyone's heart: "Contact the Church of Light. Tell them, if they meet my requirements, I will compensate him with the Starburst Array." ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
