The Senate and the Arcane Council expected Aaron to gather all the authority of the God's Hand to summon miracles and end the world's crises, civil wars and rebellions.
This is not a secret in the first place. After all, there is only one winner in the Sacrifice of the Chosen One. However, the problem is that although the several Hands of God who want to have their power taken away are not the most favored chosen ones by the nobles and wizards, they are not the chosen one.
At least a reliable friend or important ally.
To take away power from Griffith, Galadia and Erza, a more rational way would be to pay sufficient consideration in exchange for cooperation, just like the cooperation between Galadia and Erza
That way. Only in this way can these three Hands of God and their supporters, including but not limited to some nobles, armies, extraordinary people and elves, have the possibility of compromise...
"You have to be careful," Princess Mirantis raised her head and looked at the tall knight, "In public, they will respect you very much, but as long as you are out of the public eye, anything can happen. I think,
Erza lost contact and someone was causing trouble behind her back."
"Understood, what I want to know is..."
Before Griffith finished asking, there was a rapid knock on the door. A herald shouted outside:
“Admiral Baldwin, ‘Light of Destruction’, and Venerable Avignon, ‘Priest of Divine Punishment’ are here!
"Captain Griffith de Ravenel, please come to the war room immediately."
It came so fast! Presumably as soon as they received the news of Griffith's arrival in Germany, the two highest-ranking commanders supervising the battle of the Southern Army arrived with their troops.
Following these two demigods, there must be powerful supernatural beings and elite commandos directly under the Senate.
It's too late to run away...
Griffith took a breath and looked at the princess: "I need your friendship."
"You already got it that night in Odessa," Mirantis smiled brightly, as clear as the lotus on the snow-capped mountains. "In the following war, the South will be your most loyal ally. Beacon Academy
The demigod and most of the southern demon hunters will stand behind you.
"The premise is that you have to bring Erza back."
…
Senior generals and envoys from the Senate filled the war room.
The ones presiding over the work are the Sequence 4 Paladin "Light of Destruction" Baldwin and the Sequence 4 Priest "Divine Punishment Priest" Avignon. The demigod knights are mighty and serious soldiers, the priests are, well..., and other saints.
Like a professional, he seems to be very good at physically purifying evil.
They are the great demigods, the Arcane Council and one of the rulers of the world. The leader of the front line is Lordus Basilico Listener.
This Professor Homemon Watts once commanded Griffith in Raven. Now his spiritual power has been greatly enhanced, and he may have been promoted to the rank of Sequence 5 "Mysterious Lord". He and Griffith jointly led
Super commandos enter the sunken temple.
The other one is Horus Osiris, Priest Path Sequence 6 'Word Bearer', Archbishop of Bayeran of the Holy Light Church. Griffith was deeply impressed by his double-sided spy operation in Odessa
.
The third one is a Sequence 6 "Sword Master" named Jerun Mia. He is handsome and unrestrained, always with an uninhibited smile, as charming as a lazy cheetah.
The fourth transcendent is the Sequence 6 "Collector". He has no name, only a codename called "Joker". He is wrapped in a thick black robe, and his dull eyes and skinny fingers that are occasionally exposed are reminiscent of an abandoned house.
The scary doll inside.
In addition, Lordes leads 120 officers and soldiers of the "Advanced Assault Reconnaissance Force". This is a special force of the Republic Army. Unlike the regular legions and the New Army, these soldiers are completely specialized in equipment and training.
, and there are thin psychic ripples, which seem to be supported by Aaron - every advanced assault scout has certain extraordinary characteristics enhancement.
If you want to avoid the blockage of Commodus' army, a large army will definitely not be able to do it. It must be such a capable force.
The four extraordinarys plus Griffith form a complete extraordinary commando team. Each extraordinary person has a team of five extraordinarys in terms of organization. Such a team includes Sequence 5 wizards and high-level knights.
Sitting there, it has all-round defense, control and lethality, at least from the configuration point of view.
but……
Griffith discovered that the only Extraordinary who came to him was Amber. The official explanation was that the current strength of the army was insufficient, and other Extraordinaries would be transferred to supplement his establishment later.
"Commanders, I'm sorry, but you can't make bricks without clay."
Sure enough, he was going to start halfway... Griffith's mind moved and he pretended to complain.
"The Chosen One, Miss Amber Roselet is not clay," Lord Baldwin also pretended to reassure her, "She can stand up to ten people by herself."
Lord Avignon also nodded and glanced at the demigod knight silently.
Sooner or later, my authority will be confiscated... Griffith muttered in his heart.
I am not a wizard, and I am too close to the military veteran, and the power in my hands is too much for my age and status. Lord Avignon, the mind of such a big man must be unfathomable, and when the time is right, I will
Take action to kill me, but now I won’t say anything...
As soon as this idea came up, the noble cleric suddenly spoke!
"Ahem, everyone knows that it was you who defeated the tens of thousands of rebels in Verona with a few thousand troops and killed a Hand of God. At that time, you were just a low-level officer, but you were able to mobilize so many
army."
"Sir, I want to defend myself!" Griffith said hurriedly.
Avignon waved his hand to signal him to shut up, and pointed at Griffith in front of the princess and many important people:
"This kid who even doubts his extraordinary path has many allies.
"Count Larmore has openly supported him and wants to marry his daughter to him. She is a beauty!
"The elves of Canaan are ambiguous with him~damn it.
"Erza, whom we all love, has an extremely suspicious relationship with him. If I were the Pope, I would burn him to death today. Unfortunately, I am not, um, the ruler of Beacon Academy, the "foreseeer"
Llanfendale is even more suspicious! Hell, I can never guess what he's thinking.
"Sir, ladies, I dare say something is wrong, but it's very vague. The dark side of psychic energy is looming over us!"
Griffith was really shocked that the burly and noble-looking spokesman for God actually spoke so much. He wanted to defend himself, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.
And Avignon hasn’t finished speaking yet:
"Hey, young man, as soon as you got here, you and the princess hid in the small reception room and whispered. Miss Diana, don't be angry, I can't hold back what I say. Everyone said I should stay
Preaching in grassroots chapels.
"Look at you, you are so close to the princess. If I were Commodus, I would be so angry that I would turn to the dark side!"
"That's enough for you~" Miss Mirantis criticized softly with a smile.
"I haven't mentioned the saint and the strange things on Neopolis yet! And, I mean, after all that, I still feel like I'm missing something!
"Baldwin, tell me!"
"I have nothing to say," the semi-holy knight patted his chest, calming himself down, "I'll give you a punishment when I return to Beyeland and seal your mouth."
"But I really feel that we missed something important! Okay, okay, let me say the last two sentences!"
Lord Avignon waved his arm that could tear down the city gate:
"You have to understand, Xiaoyugan, I thought this nickname was very funny the first time I heard it.
"For people like you, don't ask too much from the organization.
"You go to the lost temple and find the secrets and companions. It doesn't matter whether you can come back or not. The Senate and the Arcane Council have already made preparations."
…
The topography of the temple is quite peculiar. From a distance, it looks like a large lake with a small raised black island in the lake. In fact, this island is the top of the sunken temple that emerges from the water.
In the silent hot wind, the half-ruined, sloping heavy stone is like a dormant beast, the rough shape and the unrecognizable incomplete passage are like a big mouth, deep and dark. A strange smell is surging, and there is even something unspeakable.
The neighing sound came from the depths and lingered in my ears.
After arriving at this ruins, Griffith felt strong uneasiness and impulse, and connected it with the ruins under the Tulan Swamp.
In order not to attract the enemy, the entire commando team rode in small boats. The moon gradually rose. On the mirror-like lake, the ripples of light had an indescribable strangeness. Griffith felt that the small boats followed
The waves swayed slightly, and there was no telling what ferocious beasts were hiding under the dark and deep water.
"Don't underestimate the risks in ancient ruins, young man.
"The entrance to the ruins is very small, but the space inside is beyond our imagination. We don't know what kind of evil is sleeping there."
Lourdes, who was working together, was on the same level as Griffith in the chain of command. He was also the guide who knew the ruins better, and explained it in a harsh and cold voice just like he did in the academy.
“This is not the first time that the Sacrifice of the Chosen One has been held, and you are not the only ones holding the Hand of God.
"At some time that we don't know, there may be lucky people who have obtained the power of the gods and fled here and hid.
"Griffith, let me tell you, this place gives me this feeling."
The moonlight was exceptionally bright, and the first batch of commandos arrived at the ruins in the lake. The assault scouts jumped out of the boat, waded ashore, and quickly established a small position.
Griffith observed it and found that these troops were different from any army he had ever seen. The soldiers wore special breastplates, helmets covering their entire faces, and carried at least three types of flintlocks. Each
The soldiers all have grenades, and there are even teams of two carrying weapons such as small artillery.
The officers of the Advanced Assault Reconnaissance Team have more sophisticated armor, but they are still agile. The rifles they carry are all large-caliber short-barreled guns, and they retain their swords and battle axes.
