Alien Knights

Rachel sat on a chair and looked at Todd: "Mother Goddess Eleanor is mainly responsible for the review, management and cultivation of all members of the Legion of Discord, unlike Clarence who manages the property under the name of the Presbyterian Church. Although she rarely shows her face to the outside world, she has the highest reputation among the three elders."

Todd asked, "Because she's the strongest?"

"No, it's not." Rachel shook her head: "If we only talk about the level of power, the most powerful existence in the entire elders' council is the chief and deputy heads of the legion, but these two have absolutely no way to shake the position of the three elders."

Seeing Todd's puzzled expression, Rachel continued to explain: "Clarence's status comes from his control over the property subordinate to the Council of Elders. He uses the ability of "soul link" to control and control the words and deeds of the person in charge of the industry, and then controls the economic lifeline of the entire Council of Presbyterians. Unlike him, Eleanor's status as the "Mother Goddess" comes from the surrender of the vast majority of legion members to him. A large number of soldiers call her their mother and vow to defend her with their lives."

Todd pondered for a while, and asked a question: "Why did Eleanor get the support of most legion members?"

Rachel's eyes flickered with sadness for a moment: "Because she can give the soldiers life, and she can also watch them rot and die in wailing."

Todd rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "If everything is as you said, then what is her purpose?"

"Elinor has only one purpose from beginning to end, and that is to obtain eternal life." Rachel lowered her head, her voice sounded low and lifeless: "It is rumored that she has unimaginable beauty and can satisfy all human desires. The president of the Relief Society, Theodore, was madly infatuated with her when he was young. But even so, Eleanor also has one thing that she longs for but cannot achieve, that is time. Immortal existence, but has not found a way."

Todd touched his chin and said worriedly: "If Eleanor is in the Holy Acropolis now, then things will become complicated."

Rachel shook her head: "No, she won't come. Putting herself in danger has never been Eleanor's style. She will only hide in the distance, quietly observe the development of the situation, and will launch a fatal attack when things are completely under control."

Todd breathed a sigh of relief: "Then the people who appeared in the Holy Acropolis can only be the alien soldiers of the Legion of Discord. The question is, what is the purpose of their trip?"

Rachel stood up from the chair, gritted her teeth bitterly and growled: "I don't know, but I'm sure, as long as it's what Eleanor wants to do, it must be a bad thing!"

Todd gave her a surprised look: "It sounds like you have a deep grudge against this elder."

"If Clarence is a vicious criminal, then Eleanor is an out-and-out devil!" Rachel's nails were deeply embedded in the skin: "What she has done, even if she uses endless torture, is not enough to atone for her crimes!"

Todd was silent for a moment, and asked Rachel: "Is it possible to obtain information on all the members of the Presbyterian Church in the Holy Acropolis before the election of the throne next week?"

Rachel was taken aback, and glanced at the other party: "You can try it, but I can't guarantee that it will succeed."

"I have a plan. If it is implemented properly, it may solve the big trouble of the Holy Acropolis once and for all." Todd flicked the 3D modeling of the magic magnetic badge with his hand: "But there may be some risks."

Rachel looked at the badge, and asked tentatively, "How do you plan to deal with the magic magnetic crystal that confines supernatural powers?"

"I have done a test, and the size of the magic magnetic crystal is directly related to the strength of the imprisoning ability. The larger the magic magnetic crystal, the higher the purity, the stronger the imprisoning ability, and vice versa." Todd smiled and said to Rachel: "However, if you want to imprison me in the form of a tyrant, unless I am trapped by a large number of magic magnets, it will not have any effect at all."

Rachel still seemed a little worried: "In addition to the threat of the magic magnetic crystal, there are also soldiers from the Legion of Discord, the royal army from the Holy Acropolis, and the Knights of Stigmata from the church. Although these three military forces are separate, they are all potential enemies after all, and we have too few manpower available..."

Todd winked at Rachel. "Who told you we don't have any?"

Froststone Camp, Hall of the Tribes.

Alfonso slowly opened his eyes, looked at Valkyrie Evie not far away, and said, "Your Majesty's order has been issued."

Evie raised the long sword beside her, and said to the former: "My sisters and I can ride the griffin, and we can reach the Holy Acropolis in only three days. How about you?"

Alfonso first combed the wriggling parasite limbs on his head with his hands, then put the black helmet on his head, slowly stood up from the ground, and said: "The horses of the Muxi Knights are all carefully bred xenomorph mounts. It is not a problem to arrive at the Holy Acropolis within seven days. The key lies in the defense work of the camp..."

Evie put the sword behind her back, opened her eyes wide and said, "Let me tell you in advance, I prefer a passionate attack to a boring defense."

Alfonso waved his hand: "Okay, as you wish, I will leave a team to take charge of the defense of the camp. Besides, the army formation of the Froststone camp has basically come to an end, and it will take less than half a month for the completed camp troops to form a combat force."

Muxi City, the cabinet meeting hall.

After Emerson opened his eyes, he looked at the cabinet members around him, and the expression on his face could only be described as crying or laughing: "His Majesty is now in the Holy Acropolis and asked us to start preparing for war."

Cumberland shook his head angrily: "This kind of behavior is nonsense! It's all about that woman named Rachel. She has been following His Majesty's side all the time. She must be bewitched!"

Terrence stroked the silver whiskers on his chin, and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to talk about this. What do you think about the situation in the Holy Acropolis that His Majesty said?"

Cumberland suddenly stood up from his chair: "How else can we see it?! Just because His Majesty is in the Holy Acropolis now, it is decided that we must send troops!"

Elijah, a disciple of Terrence, said while thinking: "Your Majesty mentioned the book we wrote "Justification by Faith" in the meeting. He asked us to reprint this book and distribute it to the royal families of every parish kingdom through scholars or trade channels."

Terrence sighed: "Your Majesty's meaning is already obvious. Through the Holy Acropolis incident and the promotion of "Justification by Faith", the contradiction between us and the church has gradually become clear."

Emerson, who has been silent all the time, added at this time: "Sooner or later, the church and Muxi City will break up. This is an unchangeable fact. But at this time, the religious status of the church cannot be shaken at all just by weakening the church's military power and revising the Bible."

Terrence looked at Emerson: "Then what do you mean...?"

Emerson said meaningfully: "We need to create something to take the place of the church."

Cumberland, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, blew his beard, squinted his eyes, and slapped the table heavily with his palm: "What are you talking about at this time?! You cabinet members, give me the documents to send troops!"

Emerson and Terrence looked at each other. The former shook his head helplessly, and said loudly to everyone in the cabinet chamber: "Now, in the name of His Majesty, I issue a military mobilization order! The officers and soldiers of the Muxi Knights cancel all vacations from now on and enter a state of emergency combat readiness!"
