The pope took a deep look at the black-robed bishop.

When the legendary powerful man who could use the demigod level god submission was looked at like this, even if he had touched the threshold of the legend, the black-robed bishop couldn't help but feel numb.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Although it's still a little short, it's already possible to form four judges with an average strength of the golden rank."

"And if we take time, we can form more of such a legion..."

"But... as you might expect, because of forced infusion of divine power, they have lost the possibility of going further, not only that, because of physical damage, the lifespan of these judges' knights will not exceed five years."

"But, if I want to use it for faith wars, it's enough."

"In addition, the nobles of the Empire can also provide a considerable army. The believers of life hate the nobles, and they hate these pagans very much..."

"Your Majesty, I think you can take action."

The bishop in black robe was respectful.

After hearing his words, Benedict II slowly knocked on the handrail of the Holy See and pondered:

"Then start the final preparation..."

"But before that, clean up the little bugs in each parish."

...

Maple Moon Free Leader East, North Iris Leader.

This is one of the southern territories of the Holy Mannian Empire, sandwiched between the Maple Moon Free Territory, the Southern Mountains, the Southern Border Territory, and the Kingdom of Iris.

When the abyss invaded, the eastern and northern regions of this consular area were completely destroyed, and the entire consular area was divided into two.

Only nearly two-thirds of the southwest region survived with the terrain of the southern mountains and the support of the Kingdom of Iris.

Of course, this is also because during the invasion of the abyss, the Abyss Legion no longer continued to attack the south after opening the passage to Fengyue Freedom Leadership.

When the demons invaded, several imperial cities near the southern mountains also became one of the main areas where refugees fled.

At this moment, the largest city in Larona, North Iris.

In the slums forgotten by the nobles, a human priest wearing a holy white robe and holding the "Sacred Book of Life" was preaching devoutly.

Around him, there were all kinds of listeners, including the city's ruins, hunters and farmers, craftsmen, mercenaries and adventurers...

Each of them showed piety and listened to the priest's teachings.

The priest was no one else, but the old John who left Zeroland.

At this moment, the glory on him became more holy, and behind him was a large number of followers.

There are ordinary people, professionals, poor people, and merchants who have abandoned everything.

They looked at Old John ahead with admiration, they held the sign of the scepter in their hands, and looked pious.

Old John, while painting the symbol of the scepter of life on his chest, he passionately told the people who came to listen to the sermons:

"The empire has been corrupt, the nobles have fallen, and the eternal church has been lost in its glory..."

"This is an era of darkness, but it is also an era of dawn. And the great world tree, the great goddess of life Eve, is the light of dawn..."

"He is the light in the darkness, He is the embodiment of justice and goodness, in His world, life is supreme and all things are equal."

"Believe in Him and recite His name silently. Only in this way can we find light in this dark age, and only in this way can we gain new life..."

"Look! It was the great Eve crown that destroyed the demons and purified the filth. It was the great Eve crown that blessed Fengyue's free collar and made this magical dreamland a pure land..."

"Everyone, the old era is about to pass, and a new era is coming. Believe in life and nature, and believe in the great goddess Eve!"

"The merciful and kind goddess' crown will guide us to find new light and new hope!"

"Let us pray together and recite the name of the goddess silently together!"

"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great world tree Eve Uktrahil!"

Old John praised with passion.

"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great world tree Eve Uktrahil!"
