Chapter 142 The Dawn Cult's Rapidly Increasing War Potential
Chapter 142: The Dawn God Cult's Explosive War Potential
The next day, in the afternoon.
When Markov and Harlan finally led the main force of the Dawn Knights back to the Starting Ground.
The Dawn God Cult's Holy War Commendation Conference, in its true sense, began.
Of course, that's how it was promoted to the outside world, but any intelligent person could see through it.
Commendation was just for show; gaining fame was the real goal.
If they truly valued the commendation process so much, why didn't they hold it on the day the Holy War ended or on Judgment Day?
In the end, the goal was to use the news of the entire Elf race joining the Dawn God Cult to brand the cult with a label of supreme power.
Through this commendation conference, they wanted the world to witness the Dawn God Cult's superficial power structure.
But regardless of the purpose, the final result achieved Ian's expected outcome.
Lily Ace was appointed Cardinal Archbishop, in charge of diplomacy.
With Lily Ace's Face-Face Fruit ability, coupled with the divine might of the Dawn God Cult, no one in the Hundred Clan Alliance dared to resist the cult's diplomatic offensive.
Roc and Matthew were promoted to the Twelve White-Robed Archbishops of the White Pillar.
Roc's promotion was due to his strength, and also because Ian wanted to stabilize the hearts of the Elven people, making them realize that His Holiness the Pope was watching over them.
Therefore, he received this responsibility.
Matthew's promotion was purely due to his ability and loyalty.
During the Holy War, everyone was watching Markov and the others lead the army with valor.
But few people paid attention to the efforts of the White Pillar priests.
Wherever Markov and the others went, the city gates were wide open, and the people lined the streets to welcome them.
To achieve such rapid conquest, there had to be an even more excellent management system and logistics to ensure that the warriors could continue their conquest without any distractions.
Matthew, along with Doros and others, followed the path of Markov's conquest, using the Dawn faith to control the cities they passed through.
They implemented a management system.
And served as logistics and intelligence transmission.
It could be said that without Matthew and the others tirelessly spreading the faith and managing the cities along the way with Markov, this Holy War would have taken four or five times longer, if not more.
Moreover, the priests that Matthew brought out completely kept up with the Dawn God Cult's rapidly increasing development pace and territorial expansion speed.
Matthew's promotion to White-Robed Archbishop was considered by everyone to be a matter of course.
In addition, Matthew's eldest disciple, Doros, took over Matthew's previous work, temporarily acting as the Bishop of the Dawn Domain Diocese.
After a three-month probationary period, he would be officially promoted.
This was just the reward and promotion for the White Pillar after the Holy War.
The rewards for the Silver Armor Pillar, the main force in the war, were even more generous.
The reward for Markov and the others was the staff that Ian had specially prepared for them.
They were Ian's most trusted people, and there was no higher position to promote them to.
Giving them equipment to increase their strength and ensure their safety was the most suitable.
Two thousand Dawn Knights were separated and became the Dawn Heavy Cavalry.
In the future, they would exist as the most elite unit of the Dawn Knights.
Not only were their weapons and equipment fully upgraded, but the two hundred most outstanding performers were promoted to Dawn Heavy Cavalry Captains.
The iron armor on their bodies had been replaced with enchanted diamond armor.
In addition, this group of people would also be brought into the MC world by Ian.
Counting this way, the MC world already had a development force of more than five thousand people.
Even with Ian's imagination, once these people were familiar with the characteristics of the MC world, it would probably not take two months.
The development of the Dawn Domain would be a hundred years ahead of the Rhode Continent.
The dawn of civilization's evolution would spread from the Dawn Domain to the entire Rhode Continent.
In addition, with the expansion of territory and the Dawn God Cult officially standing at the top of the Hundred Clan Alliance.
The Dawn God Cult had also become the Demon race's greatest enemy.
Under various factors, expansion became inevitable.
Not to mention the Dawn Knights and Night Watchers.
The most crucial point was that the entire Elven race's combat sequence was incorporated into the Dawn God Cult system.
Twenty thousand Elven warriors were simultaneously incorporated into the Dawn Knight ranks.
In addition, five thousand Elven mages were assigned to the White Pillar's Sacred Choir, and the original Life Tree Guardians and Sages became the senior sequence of the Sacred Choir.
The Chanters.
All the remaining adult Elven mages were assigned to the Purifier unit, managed by Fischl.
The originally empty Purifier unit instantly expanded to more than ten thousand Elven mages.
Moreover, most of them were existences above the advanced mage level.
The current Dawn God Cult's combat sequence had expanded to a level that Ian had to call ferocious.
This didn't even include the fact that after the Commendation Conference, Ian officially received the surrender of the Hundred Clans.
Millions of people from the Hundred Clans could easily pull out tens of thousands of knights and mages with extraordinary power.
Don't look at the fact that the current Dawn God Cult only has the small place of the Dawn Domain.
The actual ruling population is only twenty or thirty million.
But if a war really broke out, Ian could arm millions of powerful Silver Armor Pillar warriors in minutes.
Coupled with the invincible logistics support capabilities of the MC world.
It could be said that the Dawn God Cult's combat potential was already maxed out.
The top-level combat power included Ian himself, the Demon King-level powerhouse.
There was the Ender Dragon, a God-level existence.
The mid-level backbone included Lily Ace and Roc, existences second only to God-level.
The lower-level foundation could pull out an army of millions of intermediate knights and intermediate mages and above.
The current Dawn God Cult truly had the confidence to face any of the Seven Sin Domains alone.
The Dawn God Cult's development had lasted for more than three months, already exceeding the imagination of the Hundred Clan Alliance, and breaking away from the small-scale levels of the Hundred Clan Alliance.
From the perspective of the Demon race, the current Rhode Continent only had the Dawn God Cult that could pose a fatal threat to them.
But Ian was not proud of this.
The Dawn God Cult was not developed enough, and it needed more powerhouses, more powerful powerhouses.
After all, like the Pride Domain, the Demon race still had six more, not to mention the unclear mastermind behind the Demon Kings.
Ian never counted on the Hundred Clan Alliance.
After fighting for more than two hundred years and still retreating steadily, either thinking about surrendering or escaping, the Hundred Clan Alliance was at most just helping the Dawn God Cult and providing soldiers.
In the end, the war against the demons could only be fought alone by the Dawn God Cult.
Ian needed even greater strength, enough to allow the Aurora Church to stand alone against all the demon clans!
This commendation ceremony and the subsequent acceptance of the hundred clans' submission lasted until evening.
After seeing off the clan chiefs and having Matthew arrange their subsequent accommodations.
Ian invited Lily, Ace, and the others to a dinner.
Lily, Ace, Rock, and other powerful elves also signed soul contracts as they wished, making a soul oath to Ian and the Ancient Tree of Life, promising to follow Ian and the Aurora Church for life.
It has to be said that the benefits of a deep foundation have been demonstrated once again.
The Angel Clan, who had no contracts to sign, spent three months swearing allegiance countless times with their lives.
Only then did they gain Ian's approval and enter the MC world.
The newest novels are first published at Zui Kuai Gengxin!
While the Elven Clan, with the Ancient Tree of Life and the Elven Soul Contract as guarantees, just signed their names and made an oath.
This attracted the approval of the world's rules and was bound by the Ancient Tree of Life.
They directly reached the point where the Angel Clan was now halfway to being one of their own.
Therefore, there has always been a sad, thick wall between the large and small clans of the Hundred Clan Alliance.
After dealing with these matters, Ian finally had Resia inform the Merfolk and Dwarf envoys to come.
Following Resia step by step into the most sacred place of the Origin, the Papal Residence.
Neptune was still recalling the numerous etiquette and terms his father had taught him for meeting the Pope.
He was thinking about what to say after presenting the gift, so that His Holiness the Pope, who had defeated the Demon King and was unrivaled in fame, would agree to let them leave a second territory in the Origin without formally surrendering, preserving their race's spark under the protection of Aurora.
After all, he had heard that even those races who offered their faith were not all qualified to stay in the Origin.
But when he actually stood less than five meters away from Ian, face to face with His Holiness the Pope.
Neptune's chaotic thoughts were all emptied.
The Pope he had seen before was in a supreme posture of divine might and endless honor.
But now, Neptune felt the compassion of a father from Ian.
As benevolent and wise as his most admired father in this life.
A strange sense of closeness welled up in his heart.
He understood somewhat why those people of the hundred clans who had seen Ian just now looked so adoring when they mentioned Ian.
So that's how it is...
What is said in the 'Oracle Scripture': The Pope is the most benevolent and kind Holy Father, is not an exaggeration!
But it was just in this moment of stunned silence...
"Thump!"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground pulled Neptune back to his senses.
The dwarves, led by Hesto, knelt down in unison, looking at Ian with fanatical expressions.
"Greetings, Great Pope! May your truth of craftsmanship forever have mercy on the world!"
"All intelligent beings should love you, for you have caused the truth of craftsmanship to be born, making metal and iron walk, and letting wood and stone speak!"
"Great Lord of Truth! Hesto of the Dwarf Clan greets you! We beseech you to show mercy, allow us to join the great Aurora Church, and embrace technology!"
Neptune looked at Hesto with a complicated expression, a million curse words brewing in his heart.
His father always said that the dwarves were stubborn, but now he saw that they were really stubborn!
Hesto's kneeling was simply putting him on the spot!
Should he kneel or not?
Join the church or not?
With a long sigh in his heart, Neptune was ultimately not averse to kneeling before a great being who had defeated the Demon King.
He calmly bowed down, holding a jewel above his head.
"Greetings, Great Pope, Neptune of the Merfolk Clan, representing the Merfolk Clan, offers congratulations to Aurora."
Hesto also came back to his senses and hurriedly held up a storage ring.
"The Dwarf Clan also pays tribute to the great Aurora. This is a Heavenly Fire Core that our clan's sacred object, the Heavenly Fire Furnace, can only condense once every five hundred years, which can give the forged weapons powerful magical effects."
Neptune's face darkened, and he raised his voice:
"Our clan offers the Tears of the Bright Moon, which is the sacred object condensed by the Bright Moon Holy Ring! Taking it can maintain eternal youth, greatly increase strength, and control the Bright Moon magic!"
"We dwarves have also brought thousands of magical weapons and magical armors to offer to the great Aurora!"
"...Our Merfolk Clan also offers a thousand Moon Essence Treasures!"
"We also brought all the forging secrets of the Dwarf Clan!"
"The Merfolk Clan brought a hundred books of Great Sea Magic!"
Resia looked blankly at the two people who were inexplicably fighting red-faced.
If she remembered correctly, these two were like brothers just now...
Why are they like enemies now?
After a long time, Ian smiled and spoke.
"I have already felt your sincerity."
After saying that, he signaled Freya to take the gifts from the two clans.
Seeing this, Neptune and Hesto put away their inexplicable desire to compete.
Before Neptune could speak, Ian directly pointed out their intentions.
"The Merfolk and Dwarf clans are both large clans, and I think you shouldn't want to directly submit to the Aurora Church now."
"You want to build a second territory in the Origin, rely on Aurora, and preserve the spark of your race, right?"
Immediately, Neptune scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, but Hesto said excitedly:
"Your Holiness the Pope, my king did instruct us like this, but now, we sincerely want to join the church!"
"The truth of Redstone Technology is everything that our Dwarf Clan has sought in our lives. I believe that if the king knew that Redstone Technology had appeared, he would definitely lead the Dwarf Clan to make the right choice!"
This time, Neptune was stuck again.
If Ian and a group of Aurora Church executives weren't staring at them, he would have fought with Hesto.
Does this guy ever consider others when he speaks and acts!
Isn't the life of his Merfolk Clan a life?
But Ian did not agree to Hesto's request as he had agreed to the other hundred clans, but smiled and changed the subject.
"The Origin will subsequently build a commercial and trade system in the outer city area."
"If the Dwarf and Merfolk clans are interested, you can stay and participate together."
"Exchanging goods with the hundred clans and the Aurora Church will also be very helpful to your development."
