On the strategic map, after the alliance, the Benicia army was no longer shown in the red color of the enemy, but became a friendly army. The Polar Ice Army felt relieved when they saw it.

Oh, it turned out to be the Regent’s arrangement.

Ash stretched out his hand and sent out the Khorne guards.

[In November 1782, the Kingdom of Ice and the Kingdom of Benicia formed an alliance. The two armies surrounded the Holy See army, causing more than half of the Holy See soldiers to be killed or wounded. Ofer fled to the border and was intercepted by the Benicia Griffin Legion.]

[In the same month, Ash personally led 5,000 cavalrymen to pursue and kill, the Holy See army was annihilated, and Orf died in the battle.]

The strength of these Khorne guards has surpassed that of the original Imperial Guards, so Ash does not take the invasion of the Holy See seriously. However, looking at the Holy See headquarters right in front of him, he is a little hesitant whether to attack.

If there had been no support from the Benicia army, he would certainly not have planned to launch an attack with his entire army right now. After all, the problem with the orcs had not been resolved and the main forces from all directions had not yet gathered.

“Forget it, let’s stabilize it first.”

Ash thought about it and decided to be more cautious. It would not be too late to attack after defeating the orcs and integrating the North.

After all, he has not yet reached the quasi-god realm. Even if he fights to the end, he will still be killed in one move by that mysterious white-haired girl.

“Hmm? You don’t want to continue fighting?”

Vine was confused as she watched Ash leading his troops to retreat.

[Irelia: It’s right not to fight. ]

[Felice: What do you mean: Does the Holy See still have strength? With the five thousand cavalrymen that Ash brought, plus the people on Vinet’s side, even if the Holy See had tens of thousands more troops, they wouldn’t be able to defeat them.]

[Irelia: That’s not what I meant… You’ll know when the time comes. ]

The news about the core of the Holy See is a secret, no matter how big or small. Irelia has no intention of telling it. If Esde can push it to the back this time and everyone knows about it, then it’s fine. If no one knows about it, then she is still a little ahead of the others in terms of information.

In addition, there is the mysterious Abyss. Irelia is thinking about the dungeon she will fight with Ash after the simulation ends. There are mysterious witches, terrible armies, and countless monsters…

[Phyllis: I hate people who leave their words half-sentenced, Vinay, hit me!]

【Weinei: I won’t fight unless Ash fights me.】

[Phyllis: Didn’t you say just have fun? ]

[Weine: Yes, I am happy when Ash is happy. ]

[Phyllis: ~! @＃￥%……＆]

Wei Nei is not stupid. Since Ash is not attacking, it means that he is not sure of winning. Although she doesn’t know what other cards the Holy See has, it is right to follow Ash.

She immediately planned to withdraw the troops from Saint Ino City. Since the 100,000-strong army had not yet finished fighting, it would be better to pull them back to recuperate so that they could be used again later.

As a result, when she was about to withdraw, the Holy See suddenly took action.

[In December 1782, Cardinal Carles of the Holy See led his army to attack the Beninian army.]

“You still dare to come?”

Wei Nei rolled up her sleeves and waved her hand, F2A!

[Your army suffered 2000 casualties.]

[Your army suffered 4000 casualties.]

[Your army suffered 3000 casualties.]

【…】

【…】

Battle information popped up one after another, and Wei Nei was stunned, then she realized that something was wrong.

The troops sent by the Holy See this time were not many, only 20,000, but—

Wei Nei clicked on an illustration of a type of military unit.

They were graceful women, wearing holy white clothes, with a pair of white wings behind them, holding big swords, sacred and powerful.

The name of the army——Archangel!

“What!??”

Angel?

Wei Nei was completely stunned.

[Irelia: I once read in the history books of the ancient country that an angel army descended in the battle before the sinking of the southern continent. I always thought it was just a fabrication, but I didn’t expect that the Holy See really had an angel army…]

There are only five thousand archangels, but each one is extremely powerful. They can heal, provide buffs, fly, and kill people!

[‘For the heretics who have violated the Mother Goddess’s majesty, the angels will descend here in accordance with the Mother Goddess’s will and destroy all heretics! ‘——Karls]

The Archangel is too powerful!

In just a few rounds, all the troops left by Venetian outside the city of Saint-Inno were wiped out!

The Inquisitor adds buffs, the Punishment Knight charges, and the Archangel kills with force. These are almost absolute suppressions of the attributes of the troops. They are completely unbeatable!

“asshole!”

Vene gritted her teeth, gave up the tens of thousands of troops there, and returned to Benicia with the Iron Pagoda and the Griffin Legion.

≮∽索∧ˇ：er×≯氿⑷临－④㈢⑤⑹⑷ “Archangel?”

Ash couldn’t see the synchronized information simulated by Vene, so when he got the news, the angel army of the Holy See had already engulfed the Benicia army.

After seeing this message, Ash felt a bad feeling in his heart.

This is not simply military casualties. The appearance of the archangel will affect the situation in the entire East Continent.

Sure enough, what he worried about soon came true.

[In December 1782, the Holy See announced that the Mother Goddess of Life had sent down an oracle and sent an army of angels to eliminate heresy. Cardinal Karls ordered the countries of the Eastern Continent to launch an attack on Benicea.]

[The next day, more than a dozen countries in the Eastern Continent responded to the Holy See’s call.]

“Ruined.”

Looking at the dense army moving madly towards Benicia, Weine curled her lips, knowing that this simulation was coming to an end.

“Archangel… is totally a rogue.”

【At the end of December 1782, the Holy See led the attack on Benicia.】

[Your territory is being invaded, please deal with it in time. ]

[Your territory is being invaded, please deal with it in time. ]

【…】

[Current territory loss rate: 66%]

“That’s too late.”

Ash looked at the strategic map and saw that the Benicia territory was beginning to be lost, and shook his head secretly.

From a strategic point of view, the existence of Benicia was of great help to him, but the two continental plates were too far apart, and by the time he sent support, Benicia would have long disappeared.

[In January 1783, the Holy See and the countries of the Eastern Continent invaded Benicia and approached the Royal City.]

[In the same month, Khorne Bishop ‘Nothingness’ ordered his followers to break up into smaller groups and spread towards the eastern continent.]

[In February, the Holy See invaded the Royal City. Queen Vene von August activated the inherited holy artifact, sinking the space where the Royal City was located, strangling all the people of the Royal City and tens of thousands of the Holy See troops.]

【Binicea was destroyed.】

“Um…”

Ash narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a while, he turned his attention back to the North.

The winter cold wave arrived, and after several months of blockade, the Orc Kingdom suffered huge casualties. The entire race was debuffed and was on the verge of extinction.

【The orc king asks for peace talks.】

“It’s time to speed up.”

Ash gave an order, refusing peace talks and letting Maglian and Amabel lead the army to attack.

What he wanted was not the Orc Kingdom to submit to him, but the entire Orc tribe to be under his control, so the core ruling power of the Orc tribe must be eliminated. As long as the Orc tribe lost the call of their leader, Ash would have absolute control over them.

[In March 1783, the Ice Kingdom launched a full-scale attack on the Orc Kingdom.]

[In the same month, the Holy See once again dispatched troops to attack the Ice Kingdom.]

“Oh~ I’m anxious.”

Ash snorted coldly, feeling angry about Wei’s death.

It was as if his own little gray had been killed.

While thinking, he called back the two teams that were fighting the invasion.

[In March, Regent King Ash led 3 Kingdom troops to fight against the Holy See.]

On the strategic map, the two armies collided. Ash lit up ‘Invincible’ at the beginning, then switched to ‘Understanding the World’s Trends’ and casually cast ‘Flash’ to add a thunder element attack to the team.

Then the two armies engaged in a melee.

On the Holy See side, Karls personally led an army of 50,000, including 20,000 Punishment Knights, 5,000 Holy Inquisitors, 5,000 Archangels, and 20,000 other types of troops.

Ash was unsure of the Archangel’s attributes, so he pulled back the Khorne Guards and replaced them with the Iron Pagoda to attack the front, followed by the Axe Soldiers, and the remaining Crooked Horses to attack. As a result, after one round, the number of casualties on the front line exceeded three thousand.

[Felice: This archangel’s attributes are too high!? The Iron Pagoda trained by Ash can crush the armies of various countries!]

[Irelia: This is no longer a battle of arms on a different level. These archangels appear to be at level six. According to ancient records, the advent of an archangel requires a sacrifice of pure souls. The limit of an ordinary archangel is the peak of level six.]

When she was fishing for the heritage relics, she found the records of the ancient country, but she did not connect it to the Holy Court at that time. After all, she did not see the angel army appear in the previous simulation.

The sixth and seventh levels are a threshold. Once you cross the seventh level, you become a Seraph, and above that there are Holy Angels…but the so-called angels are just a nice name. Their bodies are still human, but they carry a part of the power from outside the world.

“This can’t go on like this.”

Ash stared at the simulation interface and couldn’t help but frown. The Archangel’s strength has surpassed that of Khorne’s personal guards, and he also has the advantage of flying and can use recovery magic. Sending the personal guards out would be a death sentence.

After thinking for a moment, although he was reluctant, Ash decided to learn Amabel’s fighting style.

As early as April last year, he broke through to the eighth level with the help of the power of Khorne faith. Over the past year, the number of Khorne believers has skyrocketed, reaching 4 million. Among them, the number of believers in the East Continent is as high as million, which is more than in the North.

That is to say, the Holy See began to interfere later. Otherwise, with the snowballing speed of Benicea at that time, he would have already broken through the quasi-god realm with the help of the power of faith.

[Felice: No, we’re going to lose if we keep going like this. We have to find a way to get rid of those archangels.]

[Irelia: This may be difficult. Karls is guarding it himself.]

On the battlefield, Karls, as the commander, was blessing the archangels with various light magic buffs the whole time. Irelia knew how powerful this cardinal was, and it was impossible to kill the archangel army under his protection.

As they were talking, the two saw on the simulation interface that Ash rushed out with a glowing sword in his hand.

He started with a crescent-shaped slash, and the terrifying power directly killed dozens of archangels in the air, scaring the two of them.

[Phyllis: Wow! He’s flying! ]

Direct flying is a privilege only possessed by eighth-level Saint Domain powerhouses!

Irelia was also stunned. She didn’t expect Ash’s strength to improve so quickly. He was only at level seven when the last simulation was about to end… Could it be related to the Cult of Khorne?

Irelia remembered that Ash seemed to be the Pope of Khorne.

[Phyllis: This is incredible! Is this the value of the color card? Woohoo~ I want it so badly, please don’t snatch it from me next time, okay? ]

[Weinei: You are dreaming, Ash is mine! ]

After Wei Nei absorbed the memory, she joined the forum battlefield.

[Irelia: Instead of arguing with each other, why don’t you think about how you would handle these archangels if you were to face them.]

[Weinei: Damn it, Ash.]

[Irelia: …]

You are really optimistic.

Irelia shook her head secretly. Although Ash had reached the eighth level, Karls was also the eighth level, and he was also a veteran eighth-level Saint. Ash was unlikely to… huh? Suppressed? Going to win? How is that possible? !

In the sky, Ash was bathed in blood-colored power, and his fighting became more and more adept, forcing Carls, a veteran eighth-level sanctuary, to retreat repeatedly.

[‘Damned pagan, you will pay for your stupid behavior! ‘]

Karls’ face was filled with anger, and the next moment a beam of holy white light burst out from his body.

[Cardinal Karls uses the ‘God’s Descent’ technique, greatly improving all attributes. ]
