Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton-Chapter 979 - 549: Compensate Him with the Starburst Array

Before reconnecting with Anthony, the Sorcerer Alliance went through a fierce debate.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, thirty million Expeditionary Army? As if they were cabbages? Logistics, transportation, equipment, organization, and so on, just transporting thirty million people over here is an impossible task, Cabrela, you’ve been deceived," Lainas said loudly.

Before Cabrela could respond, Radiad had already spoken, "No, it’s possible, don’t forget about Elf Beans. If the Divine Realm has a large supply of Elf Beans, then half of the logistics problem would be solved. As for transportation, if the God of Life could come over, then it’s even less of an issue for ordinary humans. They certainly possess one or several long-range deployment forces."

Radiad, whose key memories had already been erased before being sent back, couldn’t forget the various materials he saw at the Life Sacred Pool and volunteered to return to captivity.

However, Ange and the others had already moved on, leaving only Doroc there, not worried about exposing any secrets, so they didn’t restrict his freedom.

Now, facing the event of an invasion by thirty million Holy War Army troops, they quickly summoned him back, as there were very few of the United Sorcerers left who could make decisions.

Truth Eye Cabrela, Lolorca the Pure Water, Leixinna of the Spirit Abyss, the God-making Warlock Radiad were among the council. Void Ghost Hayden was also one of them, but Hayden’s Soul Stone was shattered, and it’s presumed that his chances of survival are slim.

Out of the remaining five sorcerers on the council, - three had died in battle, while four were trapped with the Lord of Annihilation in the Annihilation Boundary.

So, if Radiad didn’t return, there would be only three left... no, Luo Luo would only stand by the side saying "I am no longer pure," without making any decisions.

To deal with a matter as significant as facing thirty million soldiers from the Divine Realm’s Expeditionary Army with only two United Sorcerers, any decisions made, let alone their effectiveness, would make even them feel unsure.

Radiad, due to his personality, was capable of making bold decisions. Once a decision was made, he would commit fully to its execution, not even death could scare him, let alone hesitation. He was a decision-maker with a strong capacity for action.

Plus, since Leixinna only listened to Radiad, in such leaderless circumstances, it was most appropriate to let Radiad make the decisions.

Sure enough, as soon as Radiad shared his conjecture, Leixinna immediately took it to heart and said with a frown, "Even if half of the logistics problem is solved, thirty million to the Expeditionary Army is still far-fetched. They are not Undead; how could millions be summoned so easily? This would deplete a whole generation in the Divine Realm."

Radiad then said, "Even if it’s not thirty million, but only three million or even three hundred thousand, if they are deployed over, it would still be a huge problem. They are not Undead; any ordinary person among them has the intelligence to pilot airships or other flying vehicles. Even legend has it that the Church of Light has Heaven’s Fortresses, such void-flying fortresses. They pose a much greater threat to us than the Undead do."

Lainas and Cabrela felt a sudden shock in their hearts. Initially, they were frightened by the number thirty million, so they didn’t think it through. But now, upon closer consideration, even if it were one hundred times less, at three hundred thousand, that would still be a terrifying number, capable of inflicting substantial losses on the Sorcerer Alliance, even if not enough to destroy it.

Three hundred thousand were already troublesome; what about three million? What if the other side wasn’t bluffing and the number of thirty million was accurate?

My God, wasn’t it said that the rulers of the Divine Realm were the Undead? Why is the Church of Light’s influence so strong?

Leixinna hesitated and said, "Is it possible that they don’t even have three hundred thousand people? It’s said that the Divine Realm has been conquered by the Undead, right? What if these Church followers were driven out by the Undead and then bluffed about having so many people just to intimidate us?"

Radiad nodded, "Possible. You’ve seen them, what do you think they are like?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Actually, Radiad had also met them, but his memory was wiped clean, and he couldn’t remember the situation at that time.

Remembering the situation at that time, Leixinna took a deep breath, "They were unfathomable; I couldn’t see through them, but I felt like they could easily see through me."

"If that’s the case, then the numbers they’ve given might not be random, even if they are boasting, it’s based on some truth. What do you think they’d base their exaggeration on?" Radiad asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, Truth Eye Cabrela said, "If it were me, I’d boast based on the maximum number I could mobilize. Even if I can’t dispatch that many people, at least that number exists. If I were to boast, I would speak of eight star ladders, not eight hundred thousand people, because even combined, the Alliance doesn’t have that many people."

Radiad analyzed, "Communication was initiated by you, so they had no time to invent a plausible number. Therefore, this figure must be one they regularly interact with and consider reasonable. If you were a minor lord, would you come up with this number? It seems outrageous. And this Anthony, he must be able to mobilize tens of millions of people."

Although unbelievable, it was plausible. After all, it’s the Pope of Light; mobilizing tens of millions isn’t impossible. Even if they cannot all be deployed overseas, dispatching one percent would be too much for the Sorcerer Alliance to handle.

What do we do now?" Cabrela worridly asked, "They’re convinced that we used the Star Burst to attack the Divine Realm and have come to settle accounts with us, either to start a war or to demand an apology and compensation. Now they’ve put the number of thirty million on the table, and it’s not something we can just get rid of with a simple offer."

Radiad scoffed, Goblins are always so stingy; even at this time, thinking to ’get rid of it with a simple offer’? Dream on!

What is the Church of Light? A religion that worships the Light. What does Star Burst release? A Faith Storm, which targets the Gods. Now they’ve bombarded someone else’s god and still think to get rid of it just like that?

Perhaps it’s because gods have long been missing from this world that people fail to understand the significance of gods to the Church, which leads to such ideas.

Radiad even suspected that Anthony’s so-called apology was just a smokescreen, because the most common consequence for blasphemy is a holy war.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a massive stone tablet suddenly floated in from outside.

This stone tablet was incredibly huge, at least ten meters long, five meters wide, and one meter thick, flat like a bed board, and engraved with deeply mysterious magic patterns that glowed faintly in their recesses.

It slowly moved in, and at the moment of its appearance, everyone in the meeting, including Radiad and Cabrela, got down on one knee, "We greet the Lord of Annihilation."

A shadow emerged on the tablet, and a voice echoed in everyone’s mind, "Contact the Church of Light, tell them if they meet my demands, I will compensate them with the Starburst Array."
