Chapter 26 Betrayer

"It's troublesome..."

Locke let out a sigh.

Why didn't His Majesty Ceres start conscription and launch an attack on the Temple of Light after Bolton was promoted to the Holy Land?
Don't you think that Bolton's strength is not enough to survive the hands of those two Saints?
In that case, starting a war without reason and failing again would definitely shake the people of the Frost and Snow Empire's faith in the Lord God, and greatly reduce the power of faith that Ceres collected.

However, once one is born in the Sanctuary, he can freely choose whether to become the leader of an army to conquer the Temple of Light. This is a rule set by Ceres himself. He will not let Bolton give up his idea for this reason.

Therefore, Ceres asked Bolton to select new members of the Fifth Legion himself to delay time and wait to see whether a new sanctuary would be born during this period.

After the Tsunami Legion was successfully formed, Ceres had no reason to stop Bolton, so he used his spiritual sense to search for a newly emerged sanctuary in the territory of the Frost and Snow Empire with a try-it attitude.

Locke, this is a case of being implicated.

Of course, this is not a bad thing for Locke.

If Ceres were to find him in twenty years, he would be expelled from the Wakanda plane.

According to His Majesty Ceres's idea, with himself and Bolton there, even if they couldn't win, they could at least maintain a standoff with the two saints of the Temple of Light.

And now, if he kills Bolton, it means that he will face the two Sanctuaries from the Temple of Light alone.

The reason why His Majesty Ceres did not say anything now was because after the Fifth Legion was formed, the rumor of conquering the Temple of Light had been released, and the conquest must be carried out.

If he wins, His Majesty Ceres will gain a large amount of people's faith, and Locke will also receive rewards from His Majesty Ceres.

But if Locke loses...

Shaking his head, Locke threw the thought that he would lose out of his mind.

Feeling that you will lose before the battle even starts is not the attitude of a strong person.

……

On this day, the Tsunami Army set out from the imperial capital of the Frost and Snow Empire in a mighty force. People stood on both sides of the street, waving Frost and Snow flags to see the Tsunami Army off.

As the commander of the Tsunami Legion, Locke also made his first official appearance in front of everyone.

At the age of 48, Locke still looked like a handsome young man, but no one who saw Locke would think that he was younger than them.

After all, everyone knows that in the Frost and Snow Empire, only the strong ones in the Holy Realm can serve as legion commanders.

The lifespan of a Saint Domain strong man is unlimited, and you cannot judge his age from his appearance.

All that can be discerned from their appearance is the age of the Saint Domain warriors when they broke through.

A ninth-level strongman can live up to five hundred years, and before the age of three hundred and fifty, he is considered a "young man".

Three hundred and fifty to four hundred and thirty years old is considered "middle age".

People over 430 are considered “elderly”.

From Locke's appearance, they could only judge that Locke had broken through to the Holy Realm before the age of 350.

As for the exact age, perhaps only a god-level strongman can judge it from the breath of life.

The movements of the Frost and Snow Empire could not be concealed from the Temple of Light at all.

In other words, whether it was the Temple of Light attacking the Frost Empire or the Frost Empire attacking the Temple of Light, the top leaders of both sides had no intention of concealing anything.

The power of faith comes from the inner identification and enthusiasm of the people.

The Pope of the Temple of Light and the Emperor of the Frost Empire both serve their respective gods.

After years of research, they naturally discovered that launching a war is the best way to gather the power of faith.

Therefore, when the Wakanda continent has been at peace for a long time and the collection of the power of faith has fallen into a weak state, both sides will tacitly start a new war, so that the war can stimulate the people to generate more power of faith. However, they will never tell the people below about this fact.

It just so happens that a Sanctuary is born in the Wakanda plane almost every few decades.

The Pope of the Temple of Light and the Emperor of the Frost Empire handed the initiator of the war over to the hands of the newly promoted sanctuaries.

In order to gain more benefits, or more guidance or resources for cultivation, the newly promoted saints are also happy to start a war.

It can be said that every war is a carnival for the two god-level powerful men in the Wakanda plane.

After learning about the movements of the Frost and Snow Empire, the Temple of Light naturally made its own response.

More than 100,000 knights, led by two high priests of the sanctuary, gathered at the border between the two forces and began to deploy defenses.

When Locke led the Tsunami Legion through the Bidiya Territory and entered the battlefield between the two forces, the Temple of Light had already built a city wall.

The cold wind is biting.

A legion of one hundred thousand men was neatly lined up in a square formation behind Locke.

Looking down from the sky, the spears were densely packed, like thorns covering the ground.

Locke's figure slowly rose into the air, hovering two hundred meters in the center of the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, the knights on the city wall of the Temple of Light couldn't help but take a few steps back.

This is a powerful person from the Holy Land!

Even a loud sneeze could destroy them and the wall beneath them.

In front of such a majestic existence, no one is not afraid.

But soon, a powerful sanctuary warrior wearing a white magic robe flew to the opposite side of Locke from the city wall of the Temple of Light.

"Heretics from the Frost and Snow Empire, won't you learn your lesson?"

"We defeated you heretics more than 20 years ago. Are you here to die again?"

"Death?"

Locke shook his head: "Great Priest, do you think that after the battle more than 20 years ago, we are not confident enough to launch another expedition against you traitors?"

"Thank your Majesty Ceres for the treaty with your Pope,"

"During the first three years of the war, the Sanctuary must not take action."

"That'll give you two vile betrayers three more years to live."

"Enjoy your last three years."

"I will show no mercy to you."

Locke's words made the high priest of the Temple of Light opposite him so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he wished he could kill Locke immediately.

However, as Locke said, if there is no certainty, will the Frost Empire start a war again?

And, in a way, Locke was right.

In the Temple of Light, except for the Pope, all other high-ranking officials are traitors.

They were all traitors who betrayed the Frost and Snow Empire and defected to the Temple of Light under the instigation of the Pope of the Temple of Light.
