Chapter 162: The Eastern Expedition Plan! Prepare to stir up the sea, Lugia!
As the Pope, especially after defeating the Demon King, Ian already possessed the status of an uncrowned king of the Hundred Races Alliance.
He had heard all sorts of flowery flattery.
Vasti's few dry praises, in terms of the gorgeousness of the flattery, the smoothness of the sentences, and the angle of descriptive wording, were quite ordinary, much weaker than the praises of the angel race of Hania and the others, not to mention the Brahma sounds that were prayed in the church all the time.
However, Ian still gave him an Advanced-level staff.
Today, he learned to fly, mastered the evolved version of Steve's physique, and also possessed a new module and two super mythical beasts.
Today he was happy, and although Vasti still needed to learn how to flatter, Ian was quite satisfied with his attitude of expressing loyalty at all times.
This reward was given.
A fire-attribute Advanced-level staff allowed Vasti to advance to become a Law God, just like Rock and the others back then.
Perhaps it was because Vasti's most powerful magic was Dragon Flame, so the staff defined him as a fire-attribute mage.
But none of this is important. What is important is that the current Church of Dawn has another God-level expert, and its strength has greatly improved!
He caressed the staff lovingly for a long time, carefully feeling the somewhat illusory divinity born in his body.
Vasti didn't even bother to experience the divine arts brewing within the illusory divinity. He immediately bowed down in front of Ian to express his loyalty.
Then…
"Come! Rock! Let's fight!"
Vasti glared at Rock triumphantly, clutching his staff.
"Don't say I won't let you. Feel free to use your staff!"
Rock gritted his teeth and refused Vasti's petty provocation.
Admittedly, his Master-level staff amplified his power far beyond Vasti's Advanced-level staff, but Vasti's own strength surpassed him. To convert it, his level was probably similar to Lily Ace.
Now that Vasti had been promoted to Law God, Rock naturally had no confidence in winning.
In the end, he could only control himself to ignore Vasti's incessant provocations and follow Ian and the others back to the Origin Land.
He comforted himself, at least for now, the elves had two Law Gods under Ian's blessing, making them more favored than the dragons.
However…
He should also grind levels in the Dawn Heaven more often.
Sooner or later, he would beat this stupid dragon into the ground!
…
On the way back to the Origin Land, Ian didn't stand on the back of the Ender Dragon as usual, enjoying the joy of flying.
It's just that Ian's flight was different from ordinary people. The flight ability derived from the creative mode made Ian look like he was walking in the air, coupled with the setting off of the Seven Holy Crowns and the Seven Holy Crown Clothes.
From a distance, it looked like flowers were blooming with every step.
When he returned to the Origin Land, it also caused a lot of turmoil, making the prayers in the city even louder for a while.
Before long, Ian returned to the Papal Residence with Lily Ace and others.
Playing with the two Master Balls in his hand, Ian's mind was full of thoughts.
Since conquering the Dawn Domain and defeating the King of Arrogance, the development speed of the Church of Dawn has been as fierce as a sixth-generation aircraft pulling out a Mach ring.
The elves surrendered, the hundred races surrendered, and the loyalty of the dragons was also just around the corner.
In terms of combat power, the Silver Armor Pillar combat sequence has surged to an army of 500,000 in just over a month.
In terms of faith, not all of the Dawn Domain, but nearly 80% of the people have become fanatical believers of the Church of Dawn.
In terms of logistics, under the great construction, the entire Dawn Domain has no worries about food and clothing. The reserve grain of the major cities is enough to support an army of 500,000 people fighting non-stop for ten years.
In terms of strong people, the two major guilds have absorbed strong people from a hundred races. Not counting the elves, there are thousands of elite knights and mages, and nearly a thousand hero knights and archmages.
The top-level combat power of the Church of Dawn has soared even more. There are thousands of Holy Knights and Holy Ring Archmages. When the dragons surrender, I am afraid that they can directly reach tens of thousands.
In terms of Sages and Legends, with Master-level spell attacks, Rhesia and the others meet the standards.
In addition, seven or eight elves have also obtained the Wanderer's Staff and have been promoted to Sage.
Conservatively estimated, there are more than twenty people who have the ability to threaten Sages and Legends.
This part of the combat power is already enough to rival all the high-level armed forces of any of the Seven Sin Domains.
In terms of God-level experts, Lily Ace, Rock, and Vasti can resist with their staffs. If they go back to the MC world to grind levels, they can be promoted to true Law Gods.
The Ender Dragon, Phoenix King, and Lugia are even more existences above the God-level. Even if they cannot compete with the Demon King, they should be able to resist for a while if they join forces.
After Ian's own Steve physique fully evolved, the enemy he was targeting has changed to the guy behind the Demon King.
The current Church of Dawn is enough to make any Demon King tremble. In other words…
Ian now doesn't need to continue to hold on to the west of the Heavenly Barrier.
The era of great defeat that lasted for more than two hundred years has ended. The Hundred Races Alliance should officially launch a holy eastern expedition to the eastern region occupied by the Demon Race under the leadership of the Church of Dawn.
Recover the fallen territory of the Rhode Continent and burn the flames of war to the Sin Domain where the Demon King is located.
It's just that Ian hasn't figured out the details of the Primordial Abyss and the person behind the Seven Sin Demon Kings, and he doesn't even know the trump cards of the Seven Sin Demon Kings themselves…
The Eastern Expedition is a must, but it must not be rash, so that the current good situation falls into a passive position.
Especially, Ian has not cleaned up the Human Kingdom Alliance, in case the Human Kingdom Alliance explodes during the Eastern Expedition.
Although Ian is not afraid, it is still quite disgusting and affects morale.
The deployment of the two major guilds to the Human Kingdom Alliance should also be accelerated.
Thinking of this, Ian looked at Rhesia and Markov.
"Pass the order, the Adventurers Guild and the Mages Guild will advance to the entire territory of the Human Kingdom Alliance from today."
Everyone immediately understood that Ian was going to attack the Human Kingdom Alliance. Lily Ace's heart moved, and she said softly:
"Your Majesty, let the elves' Holy Ring Archmage follow up. If there are any problems with the Human Kingdom Alliance, we can also report as soon as possible with our elves' unique communication magic."
"You and Rhesia can handle this matter."
Ian nodded slightly and reminded:
"At the fastest speed, ensure that all transcendents in the Human Kingdom Alliance know about the two major guilds. We are going to prepare for the Eastern Expedition. I don't want problems in the rear at that time."
Eastern Expedition!
His Holiness the Pope is about to attack the Demon Race!
Even though everyone had guessed that Ian would launch a major counter-offensive, no one expected it to be so soon…
However, no one felt nervous, only a sense of witnessing history and participating in it.
The homeland that had been lost for more than two hundred years was finally about to return to the hands of the Hundred Races!
This was the consensus in the hearts of everyone present.
Having witnessed Ian casually create miracles and enlighten divine-level powerhouses, having seen the strength of the Phoenix King and the three beings above the divine level, and having seen Ian's mighty power of clearing the sky with a single punch.
They understood that they would not lose this battle!
The Demon Race had run rampant for so many years, it was time for them to experience the despair of being crushed.
But at this moment of excitement, Vasti inappropriately brought up a side topic.
"Your Holiness…"
Vasti looked at Ian with a flattering expression.
"What do you think about letting Lord Lugia also serve as the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Race? With Lord Lugia and the Ender Dragon leading the Dragon Race, they will definitely bring endless glory to the Church of the Dawn!"
The sense of accomplishment that had just emerged in Ian's heart vanished, and he looked at Vasti with a dark face.
"What relationship do Lugia and dragons have?"
"It can be arranged."
Vasti repeated what he had said to Roskold with a flattering face.
But Ian obviously did not agree.
This guy was just coveting Lugia's divine authority and strength, wanting to bring a more powerful ruler to the Dragon Race.
If Lugia really went over, with Vasti's thick skin, he might arrange for a group of strong young black dragons to flirt with Lugia one day.
Furthermore, if he really let Vasti open this door, he might lick his face again one day and say, "I think Lord Phoenix King also has the qualifications to be a Dragon Emperor."
That's why the Dragon Race is greedy, wanting to take away good things and saying that strong people are dragons and then pulling them into their home.
With Vasti taking the lead, Lily Ess also took the opportunity to propose that the Phoenix King live on the Ancient Tree of Life.
Unlike Vasti, who just said that Lugia could be a dragon, forcing the connection, purely a Korean-style move.
Lily Ess's statement that the Phoenix King had a relationship with the Ancient Tree of Life was based on evidence.
The Phoenix King was not the God of Life, but she was more famous for her authority over life.
Reviving many dead Pokémon was the Phoenix King's most famous achievement.
But that was just one of the Phoenix King's authorities. In addition to the authority of life, the Phoenix King also had the divine authorities of rainbow, happiness, and mind.
Happiness and mind were the Phoenix King's most powerful divine authorities.
Strictly speaking, the God of Life in the Pokémon world was only Xerneas.
But no matter what, the Phoenix King, who possessed part of the authority of life, could still be honored as the God of Life and would constantly exude eternal vitality.
The Ancient Tree of Life was the condensation of the laws of life on the Rhode Continent. Letting the Phoenix King live on the Ancient Tree of Life would benefit both the Phoenix King and the Ancient Tree of Life.
The Phoenix King herself should also like such a living environment.
Therefore, after thinking it over, Ian agreed to Lily Ess's request.
This made Roque raise his nostrils to the sky, squinting at Vasti, showing his domineering posture.
Without him saying it, Vasti could understand Roque's meaning.
"See, we elves are the Pope's favorite children. The Dragon Race? Train for a few hundred more years!"
This brainwashing made Vasti grit his teeth in anger, clenching his staff and cutting Roque fiercely with his sharp eyes.
It seemed that after leaving the Pope's residence today, Vasti would definitely find a chance to fight Roque.
But at this moment, Hania walked in quickly.
In an instant, Roque and Vasti's dispute disappeared without a trace, and they all looked at Hania with emotion.
Fighting back and forth, the two had to admit that on the road of their two races competing for favor, the Angel Race was always an insurmountable mountain pressing down on them.
The Angel Race did not even have a Saint-Ring Magister or a Holy Knight yet, but no one would question Ian's importance and love for them.
Ian's personal bestowal of the name Angel was enough to prove it.
Angels, messengers who convey the will of the Heavenly Father, just look at this title to understand how favored the Angel Race was.
However, Hania did not notice the complex gazes of the two, and walked quickly to Ian, saying in a deep voice:
"Your Holiness, urgent report, the Mermaid Race is asking for help!"
Ian frowned slightly, sat up straight, and everyone else remained silent.
"Neptune?"
"No, it's Hestor."
Hania said with some solemnity:
"When the elven warriors at the Port of Brunessno found him, he was already dying. After giving him the potion, he barely recovered."
"But he kept shouting that he wanted to see you. He wouldn't say anything when asked, only that if he couldn't see you, the Mermaid Race would be destroyed…"
Ian's face turned slightly cold.
Hestor was his designated Red Stone Technology researcher. God knows how difficult it was to find such a smart and imaginative qualified researcher on the Rhode Continent…
What's more, Hestor was also related to his plan to subdue the Dwarf Race.
"Who hurt him?"
"The elven warriors said that it looked like the work of the Demon Race. When he was found, he was entangled in a rather vicious curse…"
"The Demon Race…"
Ian murmured meaningfully.
"Was he brought here?"
Hania nodded.
"The elven mage brought him back as quickly as possible. In addition, the Port of Brunessno has been completely sealed off, and a total of 80,000 Dawn Knights from the surrounding three cities have rushed to support the Port of Brunessno."
"Sage Culos, who is closest, has already arrived at the Port of Brunessno to take charge."
This made Ian somewhat gratified.
The Church of the Dawn no longer needed him to micro-manage to the limit.
However…
The Mermaid Race and the Demon Race?
How did the Demon Race bypass the Dawn Domain's surveillance to attack the Mermaid Race?
Ian subconsciously glanced at the Master Ball in his hand.
"You really came at the right time… Lugia, prepare to stir up the sea and let your name become a taboo for the Demon Race!"
In an instant, azure divine power burst out from the Master Ball, and everyone's ears seemed to be washed by the angry roar of the sea.
Ian chuckled.
"Bring him in."
