The Temple and the Society of Magicians reached a consensus before and temporarily blocked the entire Northland.

During this period of time, what happened in the northern border would not be spread to the outside world, and it would be difficult for people from the outside world to come in. However, this is only a temporary means. The northern border is vast and has a population of more than one million, so it is difficult to completely isolate it.

What's more, not long ago, many people were evacuated from the six towns, and these people would also bring out some news related to the northern border to a greater or lesser extent.

Both the church and the Association of Magicians knew very well that what happened on this land could not be kept forever, but fortunately the temple was prepared for it.

Some time ago, Vanal V personally came forward to establish the theory of divine punishment from heaven. Then the church behemoth also worked hard to operate. Countless middle and low-level clergy sent explanations related to divine punishment to believers, so that when things in the northern border are completely exposed in the future, they can control the panic of the people to the greatest extent.

In addition, everyone has died, so the temple can explain the restoration from any angle.

But no one expected that the wave of monsters from the abyss would eventually be destroyed.

Although the process was once very difficult and suffered heavy casualties, the northern border finally survived this catastrophe.

According to the latest news, the six abyss lords who led the final battle were all killed and nearly 4,000 monsters were killed and killed. Although some fish that escaped in a hurry, they could no longer cause any storm. After winning the Fengxi Fort Guard Battle, Ansai only rested for a long time and began to orderly dispatch personnel to round up the remaining dozens of monsters. It is expected that there will be some sporadic casualties in the future, but it is no hindrance to the overall situation.

So a new question was also placed before the church and the Association of Magicians.

What attitude should they face the situation in front of them, especially the northern border where they survived the disaster.

In addition to the more than 60,000 people died near Baiyao City, there is still more than 900,000 people left in the northern border, among which there are more than 700,000 believers. However, a considerable number of believers have shaken their trust in the church after experiencing this incident. Others may be able to accept the explanation of God's punishment, but as the object of God's punishment, it is impossible to accept it no matter what.

None of these surviving people will forget the church's actions to abandon them in a critical moment.

Trust becomes difficult to repair once a crack occurs.

Many believers began to doubt their own beliefs. In addition, the influence of the Ansai and the Breton family in the northern border was expanded again. With this battle, not only civilians, but also nobles of all sizes in the northern border were twisted into a rope. Only crisis can make the forces of all parties, which were originally a mess, tightly united together, and now the northern border is completely ironclad.

After this battle, Ansai already had enough capital to get rid of his puppet identity and had autonomy in the northern border. He was very smart and did not take a hostile attitude towards the temple. He did not move any of the nails placed by the church in the Breton family. Instead, he sent a messenger to send a memorial to the Holy See.

Ansai fulfilled his promise and asked the church for the soldiers participating in the Battle of Wind and Vast Castle, Warren, Hollins and others who died in the line of the White Crow City, as well as the adventurers who performed well. At the same time, he also threw a hot potato to the latter.

Everyone was speculating on what attitude these survivors who escaped death in the North would face the Holy See after this disaster. As a result, Ang Sai did not rush to answer this question, but instead threw the question to the temple. He sent someone to ask the church to treat these survivors in the North.

To answer this question, the temple cannot avoid a fact.

That is, the North is part of the Holy Alliance.

No matter how the church explains this God's punishment, this cannot be changed.

All the families in the north are genuine nobles who were enthroned by the church, and these people in the north are also the people of His Majesty the Pope.

Warren and others died to defend their territory, not only defending the territory of the Breton family, but also the territory of the Holy Alliance.

Therefore, many people are now curious about how the church will treat these meritorious people.

Should we adhere to the previous theory of divine punishment, regard the more than 900,000 people in the northern border as guilty, or reward them according to their merits and treat them as heroes of the divine alliance.

Not only the northern border, but the entire Dawn Continent is waiting for His Majesty's attitude.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will bring a series of crises to the church, and the losses will be much more than just 700,000 believers.

It is said that the battle report of Fengxi Castle was spread to Renai Palace, and Vanal V did not go out for two days in the bedroom.

Three days later, the news from Renai Palace shocked the entire human world

Vanal V suddenly announced his abdication, and it was rumored that he would also be under internal investigation of the temple in the future, with the main person in charge of the investigation being Bishop Wenger.

As early as a year and a half ago, some of the backbone forces led by Bishop Wenger had initiated a secret impeachment against Vanal V, but was easily resolved by His Majesty the Pope.

At that time, Vanal V had a strong control over the entire church. The opposition forces such as Wenger were far inferior to the former in terms of numbers and strength, and had no power to fight back at all.

No one expected that just over a year later, with the Northland incident as the fuse, the conflict that was previously forcibly suppressed by Vanal V with his personal prestige broke out again, and this time it was coming in full force.

Wenger and others not only asked to investigate the whole story of the divine punishment incident, but also asked Vanal V to explain the correspondence between him and the elves royal family, including the whereabouts of the Blessing Swords and the Apollo Shield of the Nine Sages of the Holy Artifacts, as well as the account gap of nearly 40 million gold coins since he ruled the Holy Alliance.

The contradictions within the church were completely publicized with the abdication of Vanal V, and the world was in an uproar.

The storm swept across the top of the temple in a very short time, and a group of bishops, including Motelis, also entered the investigation list, and even involved two cardinal archbishops. However, at this time, Vanal V chose not to speak a word. This former church ruler and the spokesperson of the gods worshipped by billions of believers seemed to have lost all the power of resistance, retreating step by step under the pressure of opponents, in a mess.

The shocking scandal suddenly broke out in the temple made everyone forget to pay attention to the church's attitude towards the North.
