Chapter 227: The strength of the Church of Light (1)
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai, Laura, green, and kun Zheng were all sitting quietly in the living room of the villa, listening to linseback’s report on the Church of Light.
Zhao Hai had asked the White bishops about the Church of Light after he had dealt with their belongings. As expected, the one who knew the most about the Church of Light was linebecker. Hence, Zhao Hai asked linebecker to stay behind and called green and the others back. He wanted linebecker to tell them everything he knew about the Church of Light.
The Church of Light was much more powerful than Zhao Hai and the others had imagined. There were already dozens of duchies on the continent that were under their control. Many of the great nobles in the few large empires even had names in the Church of Light, becoming Guardian Knights or elders of the church.
Unfortunately, as a white-robed Cardinal, he did not know much, even though he had a red-robed Cardinal as his father. He only knew a portion of the Grand Dukes and nobles who had joined the Church of Light, and nothing else.
Other than the nobles, linseback also knew that a few mercenary regiments and medium-sized caravans belonged to the Church of Light. He was in charge of a few of them.
Other than that, Lindsay did not know much about the Church of Light, but even so, Zhao Hai and the others had also benefited greatly from this. They now had a more direct understanding of the strength of the Church of Light.
The Church of Light was really too powerful. When Zhao Hai heard that the black magician Alliance had more than 10000 black magicians, he thought that the black magician Alliance’s strength was not bad. However, when compared to the Church of Light, it was far too weak.
The Church of Light’s method of recruiting aristocrats to become Guardian Knights and Guardian elders was really smart. In this way, all the great aristocrats and Grand Dukes were pulled into the ship of the Church of Light. If the Church of Light needed any help, they would naturally help. The power of these people should not be underestimated. Even if they did not help openly, as long as they said a word, the small aristocrats who were fawning over them would immediately get things done.
It was precisely because of this that the Church of Light had developed so quickly in recent years. Moreover, the Church of Light not only pulled these great nobles to join, but also joined in the development of their own forces. They even used all kinds of interests to tightly tie these great nobles to their war chariots.
Because of the help of these great nobles, the mainland rejected Black Mages so much, and black Mages were isolated by the people of the mainland in a short time.
Compared to the Church of Light, the Black Mage Alliance was far inferior. Maru did not mention how many nobles had joined the Black Mage Alliance, which was obviously a weakness of the Black Mage Alliance.
It was important to note that the ones who ruled the continent were still the aristocrats. The attitudes of the aristocrats would affect the civilians under their rule. Once the civilians had preconceived ideas, it would be very difficult to make them change.
Compared to the Church of Light, the biggest failure of the black magician Alliance was that the black magicians had never had a unified command, while the Church of Light was almost the base camp of the light magicians. All the light magicians were members of the church of Light. They had a unified command, so their actions were naturally more targeted. They naturally had the upper hand when fighting with the black magicians who were scattered like sand.
Although The Black Mages had established The Black Mages Alliance, this Alliance was still too loose. It was impossible to achieve the success of the Church of Light.
However, Zhao Hai did not think that the black magicians would be suppressed by the Church of Light so easily. The black magician Alliance was a loose organization with a lot of freedom. It was also because of this that they could spread everywhere. If the Church of Light was the sun at midday, then the black magician Alliance was a dark cloud in the night sky. There would always be a place for them to survive in places where the sun could not reach.
Moreover, the Church of Light was not without danger. They were developing very quickly and were desperately trying to attract the nobles. This was an unstable factor for any big Empire. No one knew when those big empires might fall out with the Church of Light. At that time, the Church of Light would not be so arrogant.
Zhao Hai felt that if the big empires really started to deal with the Church of Light, they might give the black magicians a chance. The big nobles never wanted to see one family monopolize the world. They wanted to play with balance. To deal with the Church of Light, there was no one more suitable than The Black Mages. Once the Church of Light threatened their rule, the big empires would start to balance each other and form a force to fight against the Church of Light. The Black Mages were the most suitable.
Of course, this was only Zhao Hai’s guess. It was still unknown whether the other empires would do so. There was freedom of belief on the ark continent. There were all kinds of beliefs. If the big empires wanted to deal with the Church of Light, they could also use other forces. They did not have to use black Mages.
It could be seen from the attitude of the big empires towards the Church of Light suppressing The Black Mages that they did not have a good impression of Black Mages. So, if the big empires wanted to deal with the Church of Light, they might not necessarily use black Mages.
After hearing linseback’s introduction, green and the others were in a heavy mood. The strength of the Church of Light was beyond their imagination, and it would be even more difficult for them to move around the mainland in the future.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and put linseback away. He then turned to green and the others.”Grandpa Grimm, Grandpa kun Zheng, what do you think?”
Grimm pondered for a moment. &Quot; he’s not to be trifled with. It seems that we still have to carry out our plan. It’s better to hide in the orc grassland for a while. &Quot;
Kun Zheng also nodded and said, ” although the Church of Light is powerful, their influence can not extend to the orc Plains. The orcs only believe in one God, and that is the orcs. The God of Light that the Church of Light believes in can not survive in the orc Plains. No one will listen to them. I think we should stay in the orc Plains for a while. When the situation has died down, we will come back. &Quot;
Merlin nodded and said, ” &Quot; that’s good too. The Church of Light only knows of young master Zhao Hai’s identity, but not the Buda family’s identity. Otherwise, we will not only have to face the Church of Light, but also the entire Arkas Empire’s nobles. If that’s the case, we can only hide in the orc prairies for the rest of our lives. Instead of that, it’s better to say that they haven’t discovered our identity yet. We can hide in the orc prairies and do business with the orcs. This way, they won’t be able to figure out our background. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” but even if we go to the orc prairies, we still have to be careful. We bought so many supplies this time, and people will know that we are going to the orc prairies. Whether it is the Church of Light or Borich, they have both suffered a great loss in our hands. They will definitely take revenge on us. I’m afraid that even if we hide in the orc prairies, they will not let us go. &Quot;
&Quot; after these few attacks, even if those guys want to take revenge, they’ll have to think about it carefully, ” Grimm said with a smile. &Quot; I’m afraid they’ll have to send out rank 9 powerhouses the next time they come to deal with us. &Quot;
Kun Zheng chuckled. &Quot; that’s impossible. As long as we’re at the orc prairies, they won’t dare to send a 9th-tier powerhouse to deal with us. Human 9th-tier powerhouses can’t enter the orc prairies. Otherwise, they’ll be killed on the spot by the 9th-tier powerhouses of the orc race. They might even start a war between the humans and the orcs. Neither the Church of Light nor Borich would have the guts to do that, right? ”
Clint smiled. He knew about this matter as well. Back then, he had participated in the war with the beastmen. The beastmen loved to fight. If the humans really dared to send a rank 9 powerhouse to the beastmen Plains to cause trouble, then what awaited the humans would be the tens of thousands of Armored Cavalry of the beastmen.
Laura smiled and said, ” &Quot; actually, we’re thinking too much. Even though linseback said a lot, don’t forget that he also mentioned that the Church of Light isn’t very powerful in the Roson Empire. The Roson Empire is the most powerful country on the continent, and it’s extremely powerful. It’s very difficult for the Church of Light to win over the nobles of the Roson Empire. Once the king of the Roson Empire finds out, the Church of Light will no longer be able to stay in the Roson Empire. This is also an opportunity for us. With the realm, as long as we set up a teleportation point in the Roson Empire, we can slowly develop in the Roson Empire, and we don’t have to fear the Church of Light.”
Kun Zheng shook his head. &Quot; it’s better for us to be careful. Although the Roson Empire is strong, they don’t seem to like black Mages. If the Church of Light uses the excuse of dealing with Black Mages to deal with us, it won’t be good. &Quot;
Lola nodded, but Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” “In fact, we have been talking about my identity as a black magician. Don’t forget that my magician can also use earth, wind, and light magic. Light magicians are all from the Church of Light, so it’s not easy for me to pretend to be one. However, I can pretend to be an earth magician and wind magician. No one will find out about this, right? So what if the great nobles of the Arkas Empire know of my Buda family’s identity? The Roson Empire and the Arkas Empire are not friendly neighbors. They would not help the nobles of the Arkas Empire to deal with us, right?”
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up. They had forgotten about this. Zhao Hai could now use four types of magic. He couldn’t use black magic and light magic, but he could still use the other two spells. He could still pretend to be a magician. This was a good idea.
