Chapter 37: Big Times
The third year of Silver Moon.
A few hours after Jones left the Dragon Top, Jeremy arrived again.
As Ritchie decided, he toughly rejected the advice from heaven, without any room for maneuver.
So, twenty-four hours later, the twelve angel legions arrived. Eleven demon legions arrived at the same time as the twelve angel legions.
This is the first time that the angels and demons have evacuated the Celtics continent in accordance with the armistice agreement more than 10,000 years ago, and have simultaneously put military forces on Celtics.
The Northern Expedition of the Undead, taking the death of Lich King Gray as the .asxs., eventually evolved into the largest military confrontation ever, involving almost all the powerful forces you think, angels, demons, lichs, and dragon clans.
According to Ricci's initial plan, the demon should help him withstand the Angel Legion, and himself, he will command the undead and continue to race against time to dig down the Dragon Top. In this way, no matter what the final result of the war is, the Black Dragon clan will definitely disappear from this world.
However, things did not go in the direction he expected.
The demon did lay a line of defense in front of him, but did not actively fight. The Angel Legion surrounded him, and the Black Dragon directly removed the magic circle and successfully evacuated the top of the Dragon with the support of the Angel Legion.
After months of siege, the undead only obtained the burned corpses everywhere.
In addition to the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit, the Angels Legion gained power that the Lichs could not match, there were many other reasons for this situation. For example, the demons did not fight as actively as they promised, and the Golden Dragon did not provide immediate support.
The three-way alliance between the demon, the golden dragon, and the undead is extremely fragile, and even more fragile than the alliance between the angel and the black dragon.
Ritchie was extremely angry about this, but what could he do if he was angry?
In the face of the powerful pressure of the Angel Legion, he was tied up on the demon's chariot. After missing the opportunity to negotiate with the Black Dragon, he will no longer have any chance to get off.
In order to fight against heaven, he needs the support of hell. What’s ridiculous is that on the other hand, the support of hell seems to be better than nothing to him.
As the immortal race at the top of the food chain, angels and demons cherish their lives even more and they refuse any risky strategies. When both sides put their chess pieces on the table, the only thing left is confrontation. Just like they have experienced countless wars in the past, see who makes mistakes first.
If no one makes a mistake, then the real war will never happen, and no one will win. All parties can only stand in the ice and snow forever.
To break the deadlock, Ricci must rule the undead as the pioneer. But this is obviously impossible. If he really does this, the Holy Spirits and the Demon Lord will probably wake up from their dreams.
At the same time, when all the power Ritchie could control was restrained in the northern mountains and fell into a seemingly endless confrontation, many seemingly trivial but actually more profound changes were taking place on the Celtics continent.
In the rear, various forces emerged like mushrooms after a rain. The old Holy See, supported by heaven, was evil faith supported by demons.
The forces of both sides?
No, it's far more than that. Otherwise, it wouldn't be described as "springing bamboo shoots after a rain". As he knows, the forces controlled by heaven are thirteen factions and sixteen factions controlled by hell.
These forces rose rapidly, competing with each other, and at the same time cooperated with each other, eroding the power vacuum left by the Bone Holy Light Holy Light Holy Light Holy Light Holy Light, one after another overthrowing the lords of the Bone Holy Light Holy Light Holy Light Holy Light, or forcing them to change their course.
Farmland was abandoned, cities were ignited, and war filled almost every corner.
The chaos on the Celtics continent has been more than any known period before. The suffering caused is comparable to purgatory.
All the pressures were pressing on the young Lich King Ricky, making him angry and mad.
Maybe he didn't want Ricci to collapse and do anything extreme. Heaven and Hell both bypassed the Salted Fish Port. Or rather, bypassed Shelley and the Grugru family.
No one wants to touch this taboo in Richie's mind.
At the same time, Giant Snake City has become a paradise in people's hearts second only to Xianyu Port. To be more precise, after a certain period of time, it far surpassed Xianyu Port.
Obtaining some of the support of Lich is undoubtedly a qualitative takeoff for Hydra Knight Jones.
Jones purchased more territory. On the one hand, he accepted refugees from all over the world, and on the other hand, he worked hard to take advantage of the magical advantages of the lichs to build his own business network involving the entire continent.
Almost certainly, his actions greatly attracted the attention of the Vampire Elderly Council. New opportunities were waiting for him.
...
"So, how strong is heaven and hell? I mean, how many holy spirits are there, how many angel legions, how many demon legions are there, how many demon legions are there." In the alien dimension space, Gray sat on the lawn that had been repaired and asked the observer.
The wind gently blew past his side, raised the observer's sleeves and lowered the weeds.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and the observer whispered: "There are more than three thousand Holy Spirit."
When he heard this number, Gray, Bone Horse, and Black Cat were shocked. Vivian and Catherine looked calm.
"I'm not particularly clear about the specificity. After all, a new Holy Spirit may evolve at any time. Celtics's news is not well-informed. There are about two thousand Angels. This change is faster. It will not only increase, but also decrease. In some fiercely fighting planes, it is not impossible for an entire Angels to be wiped out."
"Will the Holy Spirit be reduced?" asked Gray.
"The Holy Spirit... strictly speaking, it will not. The Holy Spirit is eternal, but can be transformed. The Holy Spirit can fall into a demon lord, or like me, out of the heavenly sequence. Of course, the chance is very low. As far as I know, in Celtics, no Holy Spirit has fallen into a demon lord, and I am the only Holy Spirit who has escaped from the heavenly sequence."
"Where is the Demon Lord? How many are there?"
"I don't know this, three hundred? Maybe even fewer. The generation of the Demon Lord is more difficult than the Holy Spirit, although they have more channels. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Gray looked at the observer blankly, and after a while, he whispered: "I just want to know how powerful my opponent is."
The observer asked with a smile: "You know now, are you feeling very desperate?"
"A little bit." Gray nodded slightly: "After all, I can't even deal with the nineteen Holy Spirits, oh no, the eighteen Holy Spirits, and one demon lord."
"You don't need to worry too much, child." The observer looked at the sunset simulated on the distant horizon and whispered: "The situation is not that desperate. Well... how to say, some situations may be completely different from what you imagined. How should I explain it to you... Strictly speaking, neither the Holy Spirit nor the Demon Lord are life."
"Not life?"
"Yes, not life."
The black cat quickly raised its paws.
The observer looked at the black cat with a teacup and said kindly: "You ask."
"Uh... I have a conceptual question to ask for advice." The black cat said softly: "Is cats considered life?"
"Calculate."
"What about me? A ghost."
"That's all."
"What about Gray? Is the Lich a life?"
"Of course."
"Where is Vivian and Catherine?"
The observer pretended to be mysterious and replied: "It's also worth it."
The black cat was stunned: "So, what are the Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord? If they are not life."
"Hahahaha, you are a smart black cat, I know you will ask. Let me tell you." The observer frowned and said, "Those who are conscious, have life and die are called life. Those who are conscious but immortal are called 'laws'. The Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord are all combinations of laws evolved from consciousness. Maybe they were life, but they are not. Do you understand?"
The observer looked at Gray.
Grey shook his head blankly: "I don't understand very much."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, one day you will understand. Before that, it's not a big problem to understand or not." After touching his beard, the observer continued: "Let's go back to the previous question, about the strength of heaven and hell. Whether it's heaven or hell, the strength is very strong. But this kind of strength is different from the strength you generally understand. First of all, the Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord in each plane do not have a mutual affiliation. This is different from the commonly known force structure. Although they belong to the same camp, this does not mean that they will help each other."
“Will not help each other?”
"Yes. Give you an example, a human lord. If your territory is not well governed, will you ask the lord next door to help you manage it?"
"If foreign enemies invade..."
"No, no, no, no, there are no foreign enemies. In the eyes of heaven, the challenge from hell is part of the governance territory. In the eyes of hell, the challenge from heaven is also part of the governance territory. Don't forget that both the Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord are immortal. They can only be transformed and cannot be destroyed. For a long time, all races have had a huge misunderstanding when looking at heaven and hell, that is, they treat them as life like their own. In fact, they are not life."
Gray was confused when he heard it: "I... still don't understand."
"Okay, it's okay. In short, you just need to know that in theory, you only need to defeat Celtics' eighteen Holy Spirits and one Demon Lord, and you can fulfill your dreams. No one will support them. Maybe there will be Holy Spirits or Demon Lords from other planes who come over to see because of curiosity and sum up their failed lessons, but that's all."
"In theory? What about actually?" Gray continued to ask.
"In fact, there are many situations. If you try to reach your hand to other planes after you fulfill your dream in this plane... Then, sorry, you may face the joint strangulation of the Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord in all planes. There are many other special situations, but the chances of happening are slim. Basically, it is about zero. At least I don't think it will happen. Of course, there is another possibility, that is... you eventually become them. You become the Holy Spirit or the Demon Lord."
"I don't know!" Gray said quickly.
"Hahaha, I know I won't, I'm just talking."
"I mean I won't become like the Holy Spirit or the Demon Lord."
"Uh..." The observer seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but cough twice and breathe a sigh of relief: "Okay, no matter what. Before you achieve the final victory in this plane, your enemies will only be the Holy Spirit and the Demon Lord in this plane. Before that, I guess there are still many people who can help you. Although this road will be very, very long... until I grow, I don't know when I will see the end. Of course, this is not the point. I have spent so many tens of thousands of years like this. Because the road is long and there are still many things to do, you need to be more at ease here to improve yourself. The pursuit of justice is more difficult than the improvement of strength. I hope that on this long road, you will not trip on the stone that should not trip you at the least. Don't miss Celtics too much, and focus on improving yourself. Do you understand?"
Gray nodded heavily: "I understand."
The wind blew gently, and the false land in the alien world was still as beautiful as a dream.
...
In the third year of Silver Moon, when the first generation of Lich King Grey, who was believed to have completely disappeared from this world, was still working hard to improve himself in a different dimension space, the continent of Celtics was undergoing earth-shaking changes.
As the army of heaven and hell officially arrives Celtics, the Silver Moon Era is slowly revealing its true appearance. It is a starry sky filled with dreams, blood and tears, and smoke. All races, even the powerful dragon race, need to struggle hard in the suffering. This is even more so for the tiny human beings.
At the center of the vortex is the two children of Lich King Grey, the second generation Lich King Rich, and the Hydra Knight Jones.
As a recognized heir to Gray, the second-generation Lich King Rich is still persistent in avenging Gray, while also running to cope with the new situation.
As the adopted son of Lich King Grey, Hydra Knight Jones has decided to create a new world in his own way. Maybe it will create miracles.
Well...we seem to have forgotten who else?
Oh, yes, the blood elf of our mercenary group leader Andrew. He was walking with his mercenaries on the way to the Dragon Valley and took the opportunity to rescue Christina. Please forgive his short-sightedness. After all, not everyone will be determined to change the whole world. In his eyes, people around him are more important.
