Chapter 1396: Tacit Understanding
The Dark Church is well versed in the principle of "darkness under the lamp", so most of the power that will slowly accumulate is deployed in the Central Plains, where the Church of Light has the deepest influence. With the help of a military strategy commander like Camille, the Dark Church finally launched the coveted cannibalization operation.
Drifting without a trace, he led the Sixteen Nations Alliance Army in Eastern Xinjiang and the mysterious and abnormal "Black Turban Army" to launch a magnificent campaign from east to west; Mostar used the southwest as a base and constantly sent troops to attack and harass, making the defense of the Church of Light miserable, in order to prevent the long drive of the terrifying southwest army, the Church of Light had to repeatedly increase its troops; the rebellions set off by the Dark Church in the Central Plains one after another, and the most common use of guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare made the Church of Light exhausted but with little success. The most important thing is that with the full help of the "Thousand Faces Magic Gate", the Sixteen Nations Alliance Army and the Southwest Army of the Eastern Xinjiang and the Dark Church echo and cooperate tacitly. As a result, under the triple blow, the Church of Light retreated, and in less than two months, the Church of Light lost more than half of its territory.
It can be said that at this moment, the Church of Light is already in jeopardy. This is the biggest crisis the Church of Light has faced since its founding. However, it is strange to everyone in the Church of Light that Pope Peter, as the supreme leader, turned a blind eye to the current predicament and only blindly retreated and practiced penance.
Although there are many deep-seated reasons for the recent military defeat of the Church of Light, one of the most prominent problems is the lack of high-end combat power. For example, in the Eastern Frontier, there is no trace, and in almost every battle, the deepest cultivators of the Church of Light can be beaten all over the ground to find teeth. It is rumored that Drifting Away is only the strength of the Magus, but it has already defeated the high-level mages of the Church of Light who have crossed two levels. What's even more terrifying is that when competing with the fighters, the fighting skills used by Piao Wuxian turned out to be the fighting skills, and besides, the most powerful fighters of the Church of Light have been defeated by him, and what is even more tragic is that the invincible "Crystal Divine Knife" has been taken away by others. Of course, this "crystal magic knife" was originally floating without a trace, and now it can be regarded as returning to its original owner.
When it comes to the southwest, maybe the strongest person you think of is the Demon Emperor - Xinlan. But in fact, in the recent engagement, it was not Xinlan who acted as the top combat force of the Southwest Army. Aside from Xinlan, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind should be the "Weilong Card" that has disappeared and the Jiaolong incarnated into an adult! Of course, after the careful teaching of the Jiaolong Lord under Xinlan, the current "Weilong Card" already has a strong strength as the top combat force of the Southwest Army. But, unfortunately, this person is not a Veyronka.
Okay, don't guess, this top-level combat power is definitely not a subordinate of any Xinlan who has become an adult, the Lord of Warcraft in the Sea. Maybe, you really don't want to get up for a while, except for these "cattle people", who else is enough to have such strength in the hands of the masters who have left Wangjin Island without a trace?
Don't go around in circles, I'll tell you the truth, this person is the little kid apprentice who drifted away in the Western Earth Continent - Geraldine!
At this point, you will definitely be unconvinced to ask: Impossible, right? A child, just a few years, how can it be so powerful?
Really, not to mention you, even Geraldine's master, Piao Wu, would not have imagined now that the once little boy had quickly grown into a top master in his own right.
Geraldine is relatively precocious both physically and mentally due to his special living environment, but after all, due to age restrictions, he now looks like a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old. Moreover, Geraldine is not the same as Nezha in the mythological novels of the earth, he is not too old, on the contrary, his actual age is a year or two younger than he seems.
It is precisely because of Geraldine's young age that at first, the masters of the Church of Light who are at war with him will inevitably despise him. However, once they fought, they realized how wrong they were. Because, it seems, it seems, Geraldine already has a realm at a young age, and, it seems, it seems to be, it is the "Great Prophecy Technique" that all magicians in the Church of Light are familiar with!
Of course, even if you become a fighter master, in the special space realm where all kinds of magic elements are controlled by the other party, you can only rely on the strength of the flesh, so under the siege of the elemental creatures summoned by various magics, you will only be more aggrieved and miserable than the magician!
Soon, therefore, Geraldine was hailed as the most terrifying opponent by the masters of the Church of Light! Almost no one wanted to fight against him, and his intimidating power had definitely surpassed that of his master—Drifting Away. However, it is a pity that even if the secret technique of the Church of Light such as the "Great Prophecy" is suspected to be a major event that happened to outsiders, it failed to alarm Pope Peter in retreat.
Speaking of which, some people will surely wonder again: Geraldine, a child in his early teens, is really so powerful? Where did he learn the "Great Prophecy"? Don't forget, the "Great Prophecy" can't even be traced by his master!
Of course, the reason why Geraldine is so powerful is because of the assistance of the magic wand of the artifact that Charlemagne once used. However, whether Geraldine used the "Great Prophecy" or not, and where did he learn the "Great Prophecy"? For the needs of the plot, please allow the author to sell it first. Anyway, even if it is the "Great Prophecy", it is certainly not taught by Pope Peter!
Comparatively speaking, the top combat power of the Dark Church is greatly inferior.
However, in order to help Piaowu, Ni Ping'er practiced hard and practiced unprecedentedly, coupled with her outstanding talent, and broke through all the way. Now, Ni Ping'er's cultivation in magic has completely surpassed Drifting Without a Trace and has become a veritable "Great Magister".
Originally, Ni Ping'er was a magician in the whole system, with the ability to challenge beyond the level, coupled with the strong inheritance of the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church, now Ni Ping'er, I'm afraid that even against Pope Peter, she can retreat with her whole body. What's more, there is also a Pope of the Dark Church who is not weak in cultivation to assist him, so unless the magicians of the Church of Light who are more than five figures above the level of the Supreme Elder join forces, otherwise, no one really can help to get the "Holy Maiden of Natasha"! What's more, Ni Ping'er is not an idiot, if she can't beat it, can't she run? After all, Camille's strategy for the Dark Church is "mobile warfare"!
