Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 361: The Empire's Response, the Conflict Begins

The arena was quiet at this moment. Below the arena, figures gathered. Some were ready to move, while some were hesitant. There was nothing they could do. What Thor had just displayed did scare them a little, and they didn't dare to go up for a while. The gathering of the two realms was even more serious, even though Thor had just broken through to the realm of the gods.

But ordinary primary-level gods are no match for Thor.

There is a chance in the intermediate divine realm after all.

But that's just a chance.

Not 100%.

Not to mention, Thor performed like this in three consecutive games.

Who can be sure that Thor’s strength is limited to what he has shown so far?

What if he is still hiding?

If it is not the primary divine realm, but the intermediate divine realm.

Or maybe it's not two realms, but three realms.

Even if the possibility of this is not great.

After all, if it is a mid-level divine realm, with the blessing of two realms, let alone competing for the top 50, there is definitely a place in the top 80, and there is no need to be at the end.

But what if.

They were in no mood to take that risk.

After all, if they don't choose Thor, they still have a lot of opportunities.

And facing the thoughts of these people.

Thor didn't pay any attention at this moment.

With each battle, especially the battles with the gods, his understanding of the laws became deeper and deeper.

Especially the battle with that figure just now, where thunder and death were intertwined, he vaguely had a new understanding.

"Thunder, death!"

A whispering voice began to speak, and lines of law power began to intertwine in his body.

And time slowly passed by every second.

In the end, no one went on stage again.

After much hesitation, some people chose to leave.

Twelve hours passed in the blink of an eye.

During these twelve hours, the fourth challenge did not come up.

The number of people under Thor's arena also completely disappeared.

"competition is over!"

"Passed the assessment!"

"Congratulations, Tordresrosa, for advancing to the top 100."

"The data is being compiled. The new competition will begin in three days."

A cold female voice sounded.

On the ring, Thor opened his eyes.

"call!"

After exhaling a breath, Thor shook his head.

With the help of that insight, his Thunder Law improved a little bit again, but only a little bit, and there is still a long way to go before reaching the next level.

It is estimated that this is only possible if he can reach the intermediate divine realm.

As his thoughts flowed, Thor's figure disappeared on the stage.

below.

Where Ryan is.

Thor appears.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Thor appear, Ryan couldn't help but speak happily.

"Let's go. This assessment is over. There are still three days before the new competition."

"Let's go for a walk!"

Thor spoke.

"Yes!"

Ren responded respectfully.

The two of them then left this white world.

"How is the situation in the territory?"

"Nothing serious happened, right?"

On the way, Thor seemed to have thought of something and then asked Ryan.

There have been too many changes recently, and even with the daily intelligence system, Thor subconsciously became concerned about the territory.

"My lord, there is nothing serious at the moment."

"only.!"

Ryan nodded, but he couldn't help but frowned slightly when he was halfway through his words.

"what happened?"

Looking at Ryan's expression, Thor was a little surprised.

My heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"My lord, this is not a matter of territory!"

"It's Frost Moon Province. Just yesterday, the Marquis sent a letter saying that three earl families in Frost Moon Province were suddenly destroyed. Among them, there was also an earl city with a population of more than 500,000 people disappearing out of thin air. We should be careful."

Ryan shook his head and spoke quickly.

"Three earl families."

"A population of five hundred thousand!"

Thor's brows couldn't help but jump when he heard Ryan's words.

Even though he had anticipated this, he had not expected that the Tulip Kingdom would also have such a big problem.

Three earls, this is not a small number.

And it is different from other kingdoms.

The strength of the three northern kingdoms, especially the Tulip Kingdom and the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, is very strong.

At the beginning, the three royal families even exiled the Behemoth King.

This is also the main reason why Thor is not too worried.

But now, the situation seems to be even worse than he expected.

Since Frost Moon Province has encountered such a big problem, one can imagine the situation in other provinces.

"How is the Dongyue Province?"

Thinking of this, Thor couldn't help but ask.

"Dongyue Province!"

“I haven’t heard of any problems yet.”

Hearing Thor's question, Ryan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Listening to Ryan's words and looking at his expression, Thor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There have been no problems in Dongyue Province so far, which means the situation is not too bad.

After all, East Moon Province is the location of the royal court of the Tulip Kingdom. If something goes wrong in East Moon Province, that would be a really big problem.

"How about this, in the next period of time, you ask the people from the Eagle Chamber of Commerce to get as much information as possible about the situation in Dongyue Province. If there is any news, notify me immediately through the academy. I will return as soon as possible."

Thor pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Ryan responded respectfully, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Thor nodded slightly.

Then he discussed some things with Ryan again.

The two then parted ways.

Thor returned to the elven kingdom.

Ryan also returned to the Northern Province.

The residence of the elf kingdom.

"It seems that there will be a lot of trouble next."

"We have to go back as soon as possible."

Thor sighed softly and shook his head.

Even he felt how big the problem was.

There are problems on the Empire's side, and there are problems on the Kingdom's side.

At the same time, there are problems across the entire continent.

These things are intertwined, and even Thor, who has the golden finger, feels a tangled feeling.

He had no idea what the Empire was going to do.

It is also unclear whether the kingdom has any way to deal with it.

Maybe there is. After all, if these things don't exist, it's hard to explain clearly.

But it is obvious that even if there is, the underlying losses would probably be unimaginable.

Perhaps for the empire, or even for the kingdom, this kind of loss is within an acceptable range.

But Thor obviously didn't want this loss to be his, or any existence related to him.

Originally, he was planning to stay in the Elf Kingdom for a while. Compared to his own territory, this place was indeed suitable for cultivation, especially for the understanding of the law of life. Even though the Life Festival was over, it would be obviously faster to understand the law of life here.

However, the situation is not quite right at the moment, so it is better to return as soon as possible.

Thoughts flow.

At this moment, the sky was gradually getting darker.

Thor took a look, then collected his thoughts and began to practice again.

Although he has broken through the divine realm at this moment, Thor still has not reduced the time he spends on training.

Still day after day.

The night is getting darker.

Until a familiar mechanical voice sounded in my ears.

"The daily intelligence system has been updated!"

"Do you want to open it?"

"Open!"

The words rang out.

The next moment familiar words began to flash before Thor's eyes.

[Daily information has been updated]

[1: The gods from the abyss are about to descend, and the entire natural forest has turned into a sea of ​​blood.]

New daily intelligence was refreshed, and Thor scanned them one by one. When his gaze fell on the last faction, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.

Night gradually passed.

A new day has arrived.

The next few days.

Thor did not choose to enter Canaan Academy again, but instead stayed under the Ancient Tree of Life to practice.

Because he has understood the laws of life, the Elf Queen has allowed him to stay under the Ancient Tree of Life.

Thor was about to leave and had no intention of wasting time.

Especially since he already had some knowledge about the upcoming game from yesterday's daily intelligence, there was nothing to worry about.

Time passes slowly.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

These two days.

Thor was completely immersed in his practice.

The daily intelligence was refreshed twice again.

However, since there was no change, there was nothing special about these two intelligence reports.

Arrived on the third day.

Thor took a deep breath and stepped back into Canaan College.

Compared to before, Canaan College is undoubtedly a little quieter.

After all, with the first round, the second round ended.

Most people had no chance of entering the third round and left early. Only a few were waiting for the third round, which was also the competition for the top 100 in the college rankings.

It was just obvious that they were destined to be disappointed.

Because the competition for the top 100 in the third round is no longer a ring match at all.

And a brand new game mode.

When the rules of the game were revealed, everyone was stunned.

Of course this is except for Thor.

Two days ago, he already knew the rules of the game.

"Clear out the stronghold of the Church of the Gods."

Thor whispered, his expression solemn.

Just as he had expected, the Empire had already made arrangements.

And he is undoubtedly one of them.

One of the top 100 students at Canaan College.

Each one of them is a divine realm-level existence. Even if their strength has not reached the middle level of the divine realm, it is basically infinitely close to the strength of the middle level of the divine realm.

This kind of strength is no small matter in the entire empire, and among the kingdoms in the entire continent, it is an absolute top-level force.

With such a force, it is enough to sweep away most of the existence of the Church of the Gods.

What they didn't know was that in addition to this force, the Empire also mobilized members of the three most elite knightly orders: the Dragon Knights, the Flying Tiger Knights, and the Savary Knights.

In addition, the gods hidden in the empire are about to take action.

As for why wait until now.

On the one hand, of course, we are waiting for all the churches of the gods to emerge.

On the other hand, it is for the divinity of these descended gods.

The Imperial Canaan Academy generally becomes a god, but rarely takes the path of attaining godhood.

After all, such a future is almost restricted.

Obtain the godhood of a lower god, and become a god with the godhood of a lower god, even if it is almost impossible for this body to become a middle god.

Unless one can master the godhood of a middle-level god, one must also have sufficient compatibility.

Geniuses almost always condense godhood within themselves.

But that's genius.

The empire was simply too big.

The one in a million who can ignite the divine fire and condense the divine nature must always give some people hope.

This is especially true in the military.

The large amount of divine power is also the biggest gain for the two empires.

This time, a large number of gods sent their divinity, so they naturally didn't mind accepting it.

As for the losses at the bottom level, they were acceptable to the two empires.

After all, you can't expect the upper echelons in a feudal era to really care about the lives of the lower classes.

There was nothing Thor could do about this.

Even though he knew about this situation, or he roughly guessed it, it was only with the help of the daily intelligence updates in the past few days. Otherwise, he might not know this even now.

"call!"

Thor exhaled a breath and couldn't help but sigh.

Then he temporarily gathered his thoughts and looked at the light curtain in front of him.

At this moment, a huge map was projected onto the light screen.

There are red dots on the map.

Each red dot represents a stronghold of the Church of the Gods.

As the third round, all they need to do is to clear out the strongholds of these Churches of the Gods.

The stronghold of the Church of the Gods with Sky Knights is one point, the sanctuary is ten points, the divine domain is one hundred points, the lower gods are ten thousand points, and the middle gods are one hundred thousand points.

As for the gods above the middle level, there is no display.

Obviously, that was not something they could deal with, and it was not shown at all.

Of course, what Thor was paying attention to at the moment was not this, but those red dots.

The map provided by Canaan College is extremely detailed, and even the size of the red dots has obvious differences.

The larger the red dot, the stronger the stronghold is. Conversely, the smaller the red dot, the weaker the stronghold is.

Thor scanned them one by one.

From the Kingdom of Macedonia, to the Kingdom of Sarka, the Kingdom of Black Knights, the Kingdom of Serra, passing by one kingdom after another, his sight finally stopped at the Kingdom of Tulip, the Kingdom of Blazing, and the Kingdom of Purple Gold Flower.

Compared with other countries, Thor is more concerned about the three northern countries at this moment, or more accurately, the Tulip Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom.

Needless to say, the Tulip Kingdom is his base camp, the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom. Over this period of time, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has gradually spread to the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom. Thor naturally does not want anything to happen to the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, as this will affect many of his subsequent rules.

When the sights converge.

Thor couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he expected, the situation in the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom was not as bad as he imagined.

Unlike other densely packed red dots in the grid, the red dots of the two kingdoms combined are not as many as the red dots of the Sarka Kingdom alone.

However, the red dots of the Salka Kingdom are not the ones with the most red dots in the entire continent.

In many of these kingdoms, the red dots have almost completely spread across the entire territory. It is obvious that these countries have been almost completely eroded by the Church of the Gods.

Of course this is normal.

The chaos in the Church of the Gods has been going on for quite some time.

But not every country can sustain it.
