Chapter 537: Chapter 483: The War Plan of the Nuclear Empire?_2 Chapter 537: Chapter 483: The War Plan of the Nuclear Empire?_2 “What do you plan to do?” Harrov said contemplatively, the church had ruled the empire for hundreds of years, and shaking the foundation of Alade’s faith in a short time was no easy task.
The council had also spent several months in various parts of the kingdom along with tangible benefits to change the opinions of the majority of the poor.
They could not possibly wait for several more months!
“Do you still remember those empire merchants who used to come and go to Fire Oil City?” Lynn asked in return.
“Are you planning to start with them?” Harrov couldn’t help raising an eyebrow.
“Exactly!” Lynn nodded, the ones who had come to trade in Fire Oil City were far-sighted, had low levels of faith, and yearned for wealth—empire merchants.
Previously, under his deliberate allowance, the goods of Fire Oil City had enough profit margin, and every caravan could easily earn thousands of empire gold coins through this route.
Now that the church had cut off this route that could earn tenfold profits, one could imagine the dissatisfaction accumulated in the hearts of the empire merchants.
Lynn was very clear that for the merchant group, things like country, faith, ethnicity, customs, and even the safety of life, all had to step aside in the face of tenfold profits.
Whoever stopped them from making money was the merchant class’s mortal enemy!
With just a little manipulation, these people would be the first blade to stab at the empire!
“In addition, we can also use new fighters to drop leaflets over all the major cities of the empire, pointing out the errors in the Holy Scripture and revealing the true face of the church…” Lynn spoke eloquently.
Since the church wanted to deepen the faith of the empire’s citizens, they would do the opposite—destroy it!
This should effectively weaken the power of that false deity.
Regarding the true form of Alade, Lynn was still very wary; the hundreds of years of accumulation by the church were formidable, the reserves of Spiritual Energy were astronomical.
“It’s just unknown why she has always acted through incarnations,” Lynn found this very strange, whether it was the previous Edwell or Saintess Cynthia, they had to rely on the Divine Descent Technique to summon the false deity Alade.
Why didn’t the false deity fly over herself to fight them?
“Probably she fears your magic,” Harrov conjectured thoughtfully.
Using incarnations that can be swapped at any time to probe their depth, gather intelligence on their spells, and find ways to counter them, is an excellent strategy.
It should be noted that before Lynn ascended to legend and used Doomsday – Atomic Breath, the power of a nuclear explosion was simply uncontrollable, a type of magic that could easily result in mutual destruction with the enemy.
“It’s also possible that for some reason, she can’t stay in the real world for long… or perhaps her power has some special limitation?” Vittorio speculated.
The church had also performed several divine descents throughout history, each time lasted very briefly, and even required the sacrifice of a legendary cleric as the price.
“Could the Divine Kingdom really exist?” Aurora’s expression held a hint of puzzlement as she turned to Lynn and Vittorio, who had become legends, and inquired once more, “Can you do something similar now?”
Vittorio hesitated a moment. “Perhaps I can… If I let loose, I could expand my domain quite extensively, covering at least a third of Fire Oil City.”
However, the larger the range of the domain, the precision of its control would significantly decrease.
“I think Alade’s Divine Kingdom is probably not as simple as just a domain,” Lynn expressed his own opinion after pondering.
The development of corresponding spells must also be put on the agenda, otherwise, they could easily be at a disadvantage in battle.
Looking at this, in the near term, they indeed had quite a lot they needed to do.
It was crucial for Harrov and Aurora to ascend to legend as quickly as possible.
The task of dismantling Alade’s faith also had to be carried out simultaneously.
Furthermore, the war to counterattack the empire needed to be prepared for, and upon striking, it must be with the force of thunder to reach the Holy City!
“This is about the ‘Sky Vaulting’ and ‘Doomsday – Atomic Breath’ spell models. Take a look when you have time,” Lynn handed over three rolls of paper filled with formulas and models to Harrov, Aurora, and Vittorio.
Now was not the time to be secretive; the stronger the other party’s combat strength grew by even the slightest margin, the more chances they had to conquer Alade.
Moreover, Harrov and the others were well aware that tritium, deuterium, and uranium elements could be used as nuclear fuel. With some research, they would eventually be able to replicate it, so hiding it was impossible. It was better to be generous with the information.
In the meeting room, Alade, Rafael, and a host of other great Wizards looked on enviously.
Who wouldn’t want to learn such a city-destroying powerful magic?
Harrov skimmed through the papers a few times, memorized their contents, and solemnly put away the spell model. Then he cleared his throat and spoke once more.
“Aside from the war against the Empire and the Church, I have convened you here for another important announcement!”
“From today on, the council will appoint a new Speaker… and that shall be none other than our Star of Magic, Wizard Lynn!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned their heads to look, yet no one seemed surprised.
When it came to power, Lynn had risen to become a legendary Wizard, already having defeated that false god’s incarnation twice before.
Regarding achievements, the Wizards were able to leave the island and establish a brand-new Magic Kingdom on this continent, with Lynn’s contributions being nothing short of monumental!
Therefore, the subsequent vote was merely a formality. Over a hundred council members voted unanimously. Whether they supported from the heart or not, no one dared to cross paths with this Star of Magic.
The addition of a new Speaker was a matter worth celebrating, and according to the council’s tradition, there had to be an especially grand ceremony.
However, with the war against the Empire imminent, they could not afford to waste a day or two at such a critical juncture, so the ceremony would have to be postponed until after the war celebrations.
Lynn naturally had no objections; he was not one to value formalism.
After announcing this significant news, today’s Wizard meeting also came to an end.
Yet the meeting room grew livelier, with various council members gathering around the newly appointed Speaker, Lynn, their praises and accolades never ceasing.
“Congratulations, Master Lynn, no, I should address you as Speaker now!” Rafael said with a touch of emotion, recalling the first time he met the Star of Magic, when Lynn was still an official Wizard who had just arrived at Yiyeta Harbor and had made a name for himself by proposing the law of free fall.
In the blink of an eye, Lynn had become a legendary Wizard, one of the high and mighty Speakers of the council.
Lynn also responded with a smile. “Master Rafael, aren’t you also close to becoming a sixth-ring Wizard? Perhaps it won’t be long before you’re the next Speaker!”
“Haha, I hope everything goes smoothly,” Rafael’s smile widened. In last night’s battle, his spiritual power had been tempered under the press of the Divine Kingdom, edging closer to his promotion. He had not expected Lynn to see through this with just a glance.
As the two exchanged compliments, an Attendant walked in, whispering a message into Lynn’s ear.
The imprisoned Ivina was showing signs of Awakening!
Lynn’s expression turned serious, and he no longer had the inclination to chat idly. After bidding farewell to the others, he followed the Attendant to the place where Ivina was incarcerated.
In Fire Oil City, inside a solitary confinement cell, Ivina lay on the hard stone bed, pale-faced, with her eyes closed and her brow repeatedly furrowing as if she were having a nightmare.
All her past memories rushed back, finally freezing in her mind on the dazzling light beam that pierced the sky…
What a powerful light it was…
With such a thought, Ivina slowly opened her eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on her face as she realized she was still alive; she remembered being on the verge of death due to the backlash of the holy artifact.
Ivina did not expect those Wizards to rescue her. Just as she thought this, a voice suddenly rang in her ear.
“You’ve finally awakened…”
