Chapter 1618: Chapter 190: The Allied Forces Gather
Pu Lin smiled and said, "Our Pu Yan Tribe has hundreds of thousands of warriors, and they are the most loyal believers of the great god Tilu. There will be no problem with the defense. It’s just that the enemies we face this time are too powerful, so I only brought Tilu fighters who are up to the task. Rest assured, have you forgotten that I am the Prophet? As for my body, it is perfectly fine. Your blood and mine are very compatible, with no conflict whatsoever. Alas, since becoming the Prophet, my body is the best it has been in this past year. Ah Dai, judging by your demeanor, you seem to have truly become the Savior of the continent. I believe that under your leadership, we will certainly be able to completely eradicate the Church of the Dark Saint."
Ah Dai said, "As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters. Prophet, have you predicted the outcome of our journey?"
Pu Lin sighed, "Naturally, I have. However, even if I were willing to use my entire life to predict, I couldn’t see anything. Although you healed my injuries back then, it seems that my ability to foresee disappeared along with my old, frail body. The me now is truly a new me. I have already passed the position of the priestess to Si Si, so this journey leaves me with no attachments. After all these years, I’ve finally found a place where my Space Magic can wield its power."
As he spoke, they entered the main hall of the Temple of Light. Upon the Pope’s personal introduction, Pu Lin and his company were astonished. Upon seeing the Sword Saint for the first time, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect, willingly sitting below the three Sword Saints and Xi Wen. Once everyone was seated, the Pope seemed to be in a much better mood. Smiling, he said, "Today can truly be considered a day of double happiness! We have successively welcomed the Tian Gang Sword Sect, three Sword Saints, and the warriors of the Pu Yan Tribe. You all embody justice, and on behalf of the Sky God and the common people of the continent, I thank you for your support. Rest assured and stay with the Church for now. We will set out in a month’s time to the Death Mountain Range for a decisive battle against the Dark Forces."
A month passed quickly, and the Mage Guild of the Empire of Tian Jing, led by Larthas personally, brought over a hundred grand mages and more than fifty thousand warriors to assist. Aside from the Tian Yuan Clan, all clans within the Suo Yu Federation also dispatched their elite warriors. The Yajin Tribe sent fifty thousand light cavalry, selected from the best of their tribes. After attending Xuan Yue’s wedding at the Church, these tribes trained their best together, now forming a formidable force. Di Ya of the Yajin Tribe came personally with four elders and ten thousand well-equipped elite heavy infantry, bringing along thirty thousand sets of light armor. The Red Charming Clan, known as a nation of mercenaries, sent representatives from the continent’s first mercenary group, the Red Charming Mercenary Group. Led by Lian Dan, they possessed at least the strength of second-tier mercenaries. Accompanying them were a thousand heavy armored cavalry from the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, personally led by Moon Scar and Overlord. These mercenaries were once members of the Overlord Mercenary Group and could be considered the elite of the entire Moon Scar Mercenary Group. Although fewer in number than other tribes, those from the Red Charming Clan were all experts. The Xi Bo Clan, the weakest of the six tribes of the Suo Yu Federation, still dispatched ten thousand warriors. The one nation that spared no effort was the Empire of Huasheng. Despite the king’s near-fatal assassination, they took upon themselves the safety of the continent’s people and redeployed their two most powerful group armies. These two armies were led by Feng Wen’s Holy Light Knights and Aldos’s Knight of Light. These knight groups were known as the Dragon and Tiger Legions within the Empire of Huasheng, each consisting of ten divisions, ten thousand troops per division, totaling two hundred thousand troops. Even a single group army was enough to terrify the Empire of Sunset. The joint arrival of these two forces clearly indicated that the Empire of Huasheng had abandoned defenses against the Empire of Sunset. Behind these two hundred thousand troops was a logistics support unit of fifty thousand warriors, bringing enough supplies to sustain the army for over two months, reflecting the grandeur of the Empire of Huasheng. Additionally, the Mage Guild of the continent dispatched five mage groups, totaling five hundred grand mages led by Chairman Kali and eight elders, coming alongside the army of the Empire of Huasheng. For a time, they overshadowed the support troops from the Empire of Tian Jing and the Suo Yu Federation. With such a magnificent lineup from the army of the Empire of Huasheng, the Pope couldn’t help but sigh, admitting that at crucial moments, nations of justice like this can play a key role! The Empire of Sunset couldn’t compare to the Empire of Huasheng. Quan Yi merely sent ten million Gold Coins as a sign of support but did not dispatch any soldiers. In his letter to the Pope, he mentioned that many members of the Dark Forces had appeared in the Empire of Sunset, and he was leading the army to exterminate them wholeheartedly, unable to spare troops to assist. The Pope understood that Quan Yi did not send troops for his safety, and his forces were guarding Sunset City. The Pope did not express any opinion on this, focusing all his thoughts on the final battle with the Church of the Dark Saint. Actions like those of the Empire of Sunset brought disastrous impacts on its future.
