Chapter 947 New coalition, new heavenly commander!
After careful consideration, Aiwas decided to inform the Son of the Moon of his plan to rebuild the Helasar Empire.

He originally wanted to keep it a secret - after all, Aiwass still had to trick those Moon Children into coming to help him fight the devil.

If he were to reveal his motives at this time, the Sons of the Moon who were eager to revive the Hellassar Empire might turn around and stop Aiwas.

But after thinking carefully, Aiwas found that the fact was most likely the opposite -

It is because he wants to rebuild the Herasil Empire that the Son of the Moon must come to help him.

The Moon Children always dreamed of having a country of their own, but it was obvious that they could not obtain legal authority. As a parasitic race of humans and a derivative of humans, they could not be the descendants of any human royal family. The only country that belonged to them was the Narcissus Principality after the Rift War.

However, another problem arose - the direct descendants of Lord Narcissus were still alive, and they could not directly seize power from the little girl; but they did not dare to kill her, because it meant that the royal family that truly belonged to the Son of the Moon would be completely severed.

Even if one reaches the pinnacle of power like Queen Louise, it is impossible for her to win the support of the people and she can only become a "thief of power."

Of course, if the power is strong enough... like the Eternal Pope who can overwhelm everything, there is no need to worry about these things.

However, the problem is that they are not strong enough, and their weaknesses have long been known to everyone.

The strongest of the Moon Sons was the first Red Phase, but even he had been killed by humans; these Moon Sons were difficult to deal with because they had already climbed to the top of various political bodies.

Even Aiwass understood this point - the essence of the Moon Child is a political creature. Various political interests form a complex chain. If the Moon Child is to be eliminated, all people and factions will be forced to lose their interests. In this case, no one wants to become weak first - because that means he may be defeated by his other enemies.

Through this kind of checks and balances, the Moon Children cannot be simply eliminated. These resistances come from within, and will be easily disintegrated by the sociable Moon Children... Not to mention, the "eternal life" provided by the Moon Children is a fatal temptation for many elderly people.

But if the Sons of the Moon gathered together and formed a country of pure Sons of the Moon...then they would be instantly attacked by the other human kingdoms.

——You know, the Son of the Moon is full of treasures!
Great supplement!
Because of this, the Moon Children fell into a strange paradox - if they want to establish a country, they can't just establish their own country. They must prevent neighboring countries from sending troops to attack them, or they must not win when they attack them... With the Moon Children's sparse population, which should never become too large, they can't win over humans on the front battlefield.

Although the spread of the Moon Children is fast, there is actually an internal limit on their number. Because the Moon Children also know that... the Moon Children will combine with each other to give birth to new Moon Children, and humans may also transform into Moon Children, and Moon Children will not die naturally. In this case, once the number of Moon Children exceeds a certain level, the human population may collapse instantly.

Nature has already proven it.

Therefore, the number of Moon Children is strictly controlled. This is why they always want to infiltrate the upper class and have a kind of "strange arrogance" - after all, society is pyramid-shaped, and if the population is limited, they must try their best to control the upper class in order to indirectly control the entire country.

When a "frontal war is doomed to fail," they need to choose another way.

That is to unify the human empire first, so as to transform the "external problems" that they are not good at solving into "internal problems" that they are good at solving.

——So from the perspective of the Moon Children's demands, "rebuilding Herasil" is necessary, and "who rebuilds Herasil" is not important. They are obviously unable to fight against the Fallen Angels, and establishing a country at this time will also lead to resistance from humans...

Then it would be the best choice for the Children of the Moon for the Pope who showed goodwill to them to reorganize Herasil and let the Pope's "gentle and weak" sister serve as the Queen!
Although there is not much information about Yulia, it is still easy for the Moon Sons who have infiltrated the intelligence departments of various countries to obtain it.

——She was an orphan since childhood and was once a phantom egg. She is cowardly and autistic, heavily dependent on her brother Aiwass, taciturn, and not good at communicating with others... and now she is only at the third energy level, and is even the most easily compromised balancer. And her second path adaptability is a notoriously cowardly adaptor.

There couldn't be a better puppet queen than this!

Therefore, when Aiwass sent the Pope's Guard to deliver his letter to the various factions of the Moon Children, they quickly gave a very loyal response:
——They will always be an important part of the Herasil Empire! Therefore, they will send legions according to the Pope's request to rebuild the Herasil Empire!
Even that amount was far more than what Aiwass asked them for!

Much more!

Because now they are no longer "forced to send their compatriots under the coercion of the Pope", but "want to earn military merits and occupy high positions in the New Hellassar Empire."

For this purpose, the Fallen Angels have to be killed!

——So what if he is a celestial master? In the material world, even a celestial master would be stuck at the sixth energy level!
All the Moon Children knew that Xingti's Moon Children were forced to fall or were hunted down by the demons. The Fallen Angels were very afraid of these Moon Children who restrained the demons... If the Fallen Angels were not eliminated, they would all die.

It just so happens that the Church is taking the lead in dealing with the most troublesome Fallen Angels. This opportunity cannot be missed!
That’s perfect, let them see how powerful the sixth energy level is!

A few days passed after the message was sent.

April 30th, Avalon.

It is now night.

The legions sent by various countries - or more precisely, the legions sent by various countries controlled by the Son of the Moon - have begun to land and assemble in Avalon.

The western port area of ​​Avalon, which had just been completed, came in handy at this time!

Even the goblins had not expected that the residents of the densely populated area they built, in addition to the first batch of workers they welcomed, would actually be foreign legions.

"The Iris Kingdom sent the Iris Second and Third Legions, a total of 300 people. In addition to the auxiliary troops, there are a total of third-level extraordinary people, artillery pieces, mobile ritual positions, and mages. In addition, they also sent third-level Moon Sons Legion, plus fourth-level Moon Sons.

"The Black Hawk Principality dispatched the Raven Legion, the Red Falcon Legion, and the Black Hawk Legion, totaling 120,000 people, all of whom are extraordinary people, but 60% of them are at the second energy level, and there are also 60 core combat forces at the fourth energy level... My God, is the Black Hawk Principality so strong?"

——The number of fourth-level extraordinary people sent out in this wave alone is almost more than that of Avalon!

They are indeed having a fake fight with the Narcissus Principality!

Aiwass exclaimed, and continued to read: "There are twelve rune colossi... Where did they get the alchemists? Do I need to find some alchemists to drive them... Uh, there are also five thousand armed gargoyles and four hundred and twenty 'stakes'..."

Seeing this, Aiwass's expression changed subtly.

"We sent five hundred third-level Moon Sons! And there are also fifty fourth-level Moon Sons!!"

...It turns out that Black Hawk has hidden so much power quietly! But it makes sense, after all, Black Hawk is the main force of Xingti.

The rear of Xingtan is full of spellcasters. After they became independent, Xingtan no longer has a real "army".

But if we compare them this way, there are too few Iris players... or are there too many Black Hawk players?

"…It's to show off his muscles, I guess."

Aiwass understood.

Because the Black Eagle Principality was defeated in the "fake battle" when it gained independence not long ago.

Now that they have become independent, they are eager to prove that the Black Hawk Principality is not a weak country. And this time it just happens to be a "performance". They even sent out their ace corps, the Black Hawk Corps. It can be said that the whole country has been mobilized - they were definitely not so strong in the previous civil war!

——Anyway, for professional mercenaries like them, war is just a performance.

"The Narcissus Principality did not send a legion. Well, that makes sense... But they sent 1,500 second- and third-level wizards, and 21 archmages. Hmm..."

Aiwass hesitated for a moment.

Never mind. We can’t ask too much of the mages.

...Are these mages not all apprentices who have not yet graduated?
Aiwass seemed to have seen that the Mage Tower forced the mages to do an internship, and the internship content was to go abroad to fight the demon army...

"Their Moon Children... there are only 104 of them? Oh, they are all fourth-level spellcasters, so it's okay..."

Aiwass looked at the Inspectorate's report with a subtle expression.

Narcissus Principality... Could it be that all the high-level mages have become Moon Children? And why are there so many research madmen?
If there are so many people... the Spiritual Tower alone cannot accommodate them.

Originally, Aiwas thought that they could send a total of 500 people, which would be enough, and they could just live in the psychic tower.

Now it seems that Aiwass will have to fire a few extra shots at the light of paradise.

But with these people... plus a Holy Knight Corps and three Priest Corps of the Theocracy, I always feel...

...It seems that this is no longer as simple as "holding off the demon army and distracting attention to buy time."

It has been less than a month since the Fallen Angel arrived, and his demon level is not high enough.

However, the combat effectiveness of these legions is more than three times that of the coalition forces that fought against the Fallen Angels in the original history - after all, the purpose this time is no longer to "fight against the Fallen Angels" but to "rebuild the Hellassal Empire."

Aiwass even felt that with the presence of the "Herasil Coalition"... they seemed to be able to defeat those demons!
"That's great. If the situation is evenly matched or even advantageous, the casualties shouldn't be as severe as before..."

Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief and felt more confident.

In the game plot, in order to buy the player 30 minutes to fight the Fallen Angels alone, these legions need to continue to attack despite being at a disadvantage - this almost caused them to suffer heavy casualties, and destroyed a lot of the Theocracy's resources in one wave.

Since there are people who can deal with Qingza, what Aiwass needs to prepare now is to face the core combat power of the Fallen Angels.

But the specific list of recruits... should be decided tomorrow.

Because today is the 30th, the night of the new moon.

Tonight happens to be the day of promotion...

"……Um?"

——Just then, Aiwass suddenly felt a strange feeling.

A strange, familiar yet unfamiliar feeling of drunkenness filled his heart.

It was a power that Aiwas felt quite unfamiliar with, and his system remained silent.

The next moment, all the liquid in the room turned into white mist, and there was even a stream of steam coming out of the pond in the yard, rising straight into the night sky, even obscuring the crescent moon for a moment.

The moist air contained a large amount of Dao power, and the whole world seemed to become hazy...

——Under the illumination of the night lights, the whole world seems like a dream.

Just by breathing this air, Aiwass felt his strength increase.

There is no doubt about it… this is a vision!
A new celestial being has been promoted!

——Other than this, what other force can affect Aiwass who has already reached the fifth energy level?
Aiwass is no longer the Pope, so he cannot be notified directly... He also cannot find out who has been promoted before the vision ends.

In the original history, there was no promotion of this Heavenly Official during this period of time!
"…Variables?"

Aiwass whispered.

...But for some reason, Aiwass felt that sense of familiarity becoming stronger and stronger.

——It’s not an illusion, he has definitely come into contact with this new celestial being!
