Chapter 239 Gods, All Must Die!

The flagship's banquet hall is luxuriously decorated, as magnificent as the interior of a royal palace.

On the dining table, top chefs from the royal family of the Narpo Empire cooked countless delicious dishes, and under the careful supervision of the servants, they placed the food on the table.

These servants did not know who was having dinner. They only knew Her Highness Ishamara, the respected ruler of the empire. At this time, they were all standing obediently aside and were not even qualified to sit at the table.

At the dining table, Deya and Raymond enjoyed this luxurious dinner leisurely.

Ignis, who had transformed into a human form, ate very gracefully but very quickly. In the blink of an eye, an empty plate was placed next to her table.

It can be seen that Ignis is quite satisfied with the food, so she transformed into a dragon with the appearance of a human and fully enjoyed the food there.

According to aristocratic rules, one is not allowed to talk while eating, as that would be considered very impolite.

But whether it is Deya or Raymond, they never care about these rules, because to them, they are the rules.

"Teacher, these are the court banquets of the Narbo Empire. I hope they suit your taste. There are no local chefs from Susetani on this ship, so I'm afraid we can't make the special flavors of Susetani."

Raymond spoke enthusiastically, introducing each dish to Deya in detail.

Deya swallowed the smoked beef in his mouth and said, “I’m not picky about food, as long as it can replenish the energy needed by the body.

Besides, I don’t need to rely on food to replenish my body’s energy consumption now. Eating is just a kind of pleasure. Living is hard enough. If I don’t know how to enjoy it, life will be too boring.”

Raymond listened to Deya's words with a smile. He nodded and said, "I have the same idea as you. Enjoyment does not degenerate people. It is something they should have."

The master and disciple casually tasted some of the foods.

Their evaluation is entirely based on their own subjective consciousness. For some nobles, something is precious and delicious, but Deya and Raymond may not like to eat it, so they don't mind belittling it and don't care about the so-called traditions of the nobles at all.

As mages, Deya and Raymond don't like to drink. Even with their current strength, alcohol no longer affects their brains, they will not take the initiative to drink.

After tasting some juice, Raymond took the initiative to talk about business: "This time I lurked in the Northern Fleet and came to the northern west coast to try to sneak attack the Great Shaman of Savage Power and reduce the number of strong men of the Orcs.

Judging from the development of the situation, with your help, the other side lost an orc guardian.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for the power of the wilderness to bestow a new eight rings. Although the result is not perfect, it can be regarded as a completion of the original design.

On the front battlefield, the popes and archbishops of the Church of the Fire of Order and the Will of Chaos, led by Grand Duke Glucks, are rapidly advancing against the northern orcs. "

Deya wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf and listened attentively.

Grand Duke Glucks is one of the three Grand Dukes of the Empire, and the most powerful.

Because this family has a Nine-Ring Cavalry General who has lived for hundreds of years.

It was precisely because of this cavalry general, and the fact that the Glüx family had always been loyal to the empire, that this family had been stationed in the northern border of the empire, fighting the orcs for countless years.

It can be said that this is the most powerful family in the Narpo Empire besides the royal family. The royal family of the empire would intermarry with the Glüx family from time to time.

As for the Duke of the South who was destroyed by Deya, and the Duke of Capet who was killed by the Witch Cult, these two duke titles were entirely passed down to the present day because of their ancestors' influence.

The empire has always wanted to remove these two dukes and no longer have a country within a country.

This is also the reason why Deya destroyed the Duke of the Southern Fleet. After the Witch Cult destroyed the Duke of Capet ten years ago, the entire empire pretended to obey and did not care at all.

“In the past few hundred years, although there are very few people who have been promoted to the eighth ring, there are always some people with good luck or genius who can break through the restrictions and be promoted to the eighth ring.

These people were persuaded by me to pledge allegiance to the Imperial Family, and they were also sent to the front lines this time."

Raymond's words were light and casual, but Deya knew very well that the so-called loyalty to the royal family was actually Raymond's coercion and inducement.

As the top wizard among the Nine Rings, ordinary Eighth Ring and Ninth Ring wizards are no match for Raymond.

In addition, Raymond probably thought that with many benefits, those promoted strong men would choose to be loyal.

The reason why the imperial family has been able to stand firm for hundreds of years and hold on to power so tightly is because of Raymond's existence.

The emperor of the empire can be replaced at will, but Raymond's pressure must never be lost, otherwise many people may have other ideas.

“In the past, apart from the Savage Power, which openly supported the orcs, the other eight churches only supported the Empire on the surface.

Ordinary people would wonder why the Empire, which is so powerful, ignores the orcs in the north.

But only those who truly understand part of history understand that the so-called support for the empire by the eight major churches is nothing but a mirage, just their rhetoric.

This time, the Empire launched a general offensive against the orcs, and the choices of all churches were finally exposed.

The Fire of Order and the Will of Chaos chose to support the Empire, the Mother of All Creatures, the Fate Observer and the Power of the Wild chose to support the Orcs, and the Ancient Spirit decided not to participate in the struggle in the material world and chose to remain neutral.

Not long ago, the Elemental Sea also determined its policy. Like the Ancient Spirits, it chose to remain neutral and let all elemental creatures leave the material world.

For these two gods, as long as the elemental creatures and dragons are still there, it will not affect them, and it is expected that they will choose to remain neutral. "

Deya listened to Raymond's words quietly, and he added: "The injury of the Balance Watcher has not recovered, and He can only hide with the elves and choose to remain neutral.

As for the Silent Singer, He might want to choose to support the orcs, but His condition is very bad, and He is afraid He can't do anything. "

Having said this, Deya explained to Raymond all the true history that he knew in the Emerald Courtyard.

“So that’s how it is. I had guessed in the past that the Emerald Courtyard had real historical records, but I couldn’t find the path to the Emerald Courtyard. I didn’t expect that the Deep Sea Abyss was the key.

With your intelligence, we can now determine who is the enemy and who is the ally."

As for why the Singer of Silence was in trouble, Raymond could roughly guess it. The reason could be seen from the fact that Deya possessed half of the god's power.

"Add to that the Nine Rings Tower's support for the Empire, and the Empire's superiority in alchemy and magic technology. On the surface, this war is almost certain to end in victory."

Deya said slowly at this time.

Even though the orcs still have the support of those evil dragons, the Empire still has an absolute advantage in terms of the strength of the upper and lower levels of both sides. Especially now that Deya has mastered part of the power of the Silent Chanter and has Sallysit, a killer weapon that can burst out the power of a demigod at any time, no one knows how much strength the Eternal Lady has recovered.

They still have various hidden trump cards that have not been used, while the opponent's strength has been fully exposed. This should be a sure victory.

Moreover, if those evil dragons really join the war, the Ancient Spirit will never just watch. He will definitely let the giant dragons join this war, destroy those fallen dragons, and eliminate the troubles within the dragons.

But even though he had this thought, Deya always had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, always feeling that things would never develop so smoothly.

With his current strength, even though he is not very proficient in spells such as prophecy and destiny, he has naturally reached that level.

Raymond said: "Teacher, you have the same premonition, right? Things will not be that easy. The Mother of All Living Things has been lurking for such a long time, and no one knows what kind of back-up plan He has.

I am over 900 years old and will soon reach the end of my life span of a thousand years. Time is running out. The impact of the historical puzzles set by the Destiny Observer has become increasingly greater.

Over the years, the number of eight-ring masters born in the material world has become increasingly smaller, and now it is impossible for new eight-ring masters to appear.

When I die, the empire will usher in the afterglow of its sunset, and mankind will lose the replenishment of new strong people, and will eventually be devoured by alien races and gods.

I have no choice now but to start this war and lure out the Mother of All Living Things' backup plan in advance.

I am not absolutely sure of victory in this war. The power of the gods cannot be underestimated. But after meeting you, teacher, I think our hope has greatly increased. "

The mages of the Nine Rings Tower have been able to determine that the birth of the Historical Mystery Lock is most closely related to the Fate Observer.

It was this god who, with the support of other gods, used the power of fate to set the puzzle lock.

There is only one way to unlock the mystery of history, and that is to kill the god completely or exile him.

As long as the Destiny Observer can no longer influence the material world, the historical mystery lock will become invalid, and the powerful people of the future will continue to appear.

Deya pondered for a moment and said, "Raymond, I think you should also know why our lifespan is limited to 1000 years."

Raymond nodded and said, "It is the Singer of Silence. He controls the power of death and thus limits the lifespan of mortals."

Deya smiled and said, “If we let the Singer of Silence fall, the lifespan limit that is oppressing us will also be lifted.

As a nine-ring necromancer, I think Raymond, you must have countless ways to prolong your life. At least with your ability, it should be easy to live for four or five thousand years."

Raymond's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of the divine power in Deya and the research of the Nine-Ring Tower that lasted for more than a thousand years.

He whispered, "Has the Nine Rings Tower made preparations and decisions?"

"There is no better choice than the Silent Chanter. Regardless of His current state or the lifespan limit He has set, He should fall!"

Deya said firmly.

Raymond leaned back and said with a smile, "It seems that I can't let myself die so soon. I have to live even if it costs my life, waiting for the moment when the restraints are removed."

"That day won't be too far away, Raymond. Until then, you have to try your best to survive."

"When I was young, I was saved by my teacher. I didn't expect that when I was old and about to die, I would still be saved by my teacher."

Raymond sighed: "...The greatest luck in my life is meeting you, teacher, and accepting your teachings."

Deya complained in his heart: "You are already old, aren't you ashamed to say such things? Isn't it embarrassing?"

Raymond laughed and said, "It is precisely because of my age that I can say such things shamelessly. If I had met you three or four hundred years ago, I might have been embarrassed to call you teacher."

This world respects strength. Raymond was already a ninth-ring master at that time. If he met Deya, who was still weak, he would feel embarrassed to call him teacher.

"Then I should be thankful that I met you when you were about to die."

Deya cursed with a smile.

Ishamara, who was standing by, was completely confused. He had no idea what Deya and Raymond were talking about.

Things like historical mysteries, thousand-year life limits, and the need to bring down and exile gods were completely beyond her understanding and ability.

She only knew that the two were talking about something very impressive.

The only thing Ishamara understood was that it was no longer possible for anyone in this material world to advance to the eighth ring.

This won’t do. She doesn’t want her strength to be fixed at the seventh ring forever. She wants to gain more powerful strength and see a wider world.

Therefore, the fate observer must die, and all the gods standing on the opposing side must die!

"Not long ago, we received intelligence from the front that the Empire's battle line is progressing very smoothly. It should be close to the orcs' capital. Ishamara, order the fleet to turn around and we will head directly to the orcs' capital."

Raymond turned his head and said to Isamara.

Isamara responded, turned around with great pride, her sleeves fluttering, and went to issue orders to the Minister of the Navy.

"We will soon find out what the Church of the Mother of All Creatures will do."

Raymond said this to Deya.

Deya remained silent. He was on the flagship, heading to the front line of the battlefield with the Empire's Northern Fleet.

……

The orcs' capital was built on the mountain, in a desolate mountain range.

The terrain here is rugged and easy to defend but difficult to attack, but no matter how advantageous the terrain is, it was eventually besieged by the empire's million-strong army.

The situation on the entire battlefield progressed so quickly that it even exceeded the expectations of the Imperial General Staff.

The high-ring warriors on the orc side hardly took any action, nor did they have any intention of blocking the Empire's advance, which allowed the Empire's troops to be unstoppable. In just a few months, almost the entire orc territory in the north fell.
