After receiving Long Haochen’s letter, the Temple Federation headquarters made full efforts to distribute the six temples and ordered them to prepare for battle. At the same time, three members from each temple were elected to attend the meeting at the Knights Temple at Yu Longguan. All the vice presidents of the Federation were also there. The first and second legions of the Federation, which had been integrated and trained, would also go to Yu Longguan.
All the hunting troupes had been assigned to the war and they made all the efforts to find out the movements of the Devil clan. According to the returned demon hunters, the Devil clan had indeed made some movement, and the most powerful ten Devil tribes were all deploying troops. The most shocking news for the Temple Federation was that the God of Devils summoned more than 50 devil gods to bring their devil pillars and attend the meeting in Modu.
After the news came, it immediately caused an uproar at the Temple Federation. The devils did not mobilize these many devils during the previous holy war!
Among the 72 devil pillars, two devil pillars had been destroyed, and a total of nine devils had been killed at the same time. In other words, there were actually only 63 devils with 72 devil pillars. In addition to leaving some devil gods to guard the important provinces, the God of Devils could be said to have mobilized all the powers of the devil gods at his disposal. It seemed like a decisive battle with mankind. How could such a situation not shock the Temple Federation?
No one expected that after the establishment of the new federation, the reaction of the Devil clan would be this fast and resolute. Only the top echelons of the Federation knew that the reason for the holy war was because of God of Devils’ rage towards Long Haochen.
But what could they do? Hand Long Haochen over to them? That was absolutely impossible. When Long Haochen’s strength was not this strong, the Temple Alliance withstood the pressure and did not hesitate to fight a holy war with the Devil clan. Not to mention that now Long Haochen was fully prepared; he was not only powerful, but also had become the supreme ruler of the Temple Federation. He had unprecedentedly become the leader of the Sealed Divine Knight and got recognition from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Along with the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, it could be said that the strength of their hunting group alone was comparable to the overall strength of the high level of any of the six temples.
Half a month later.
The top officials of the Temple Federation gathered at Yu Longguan, and the two major legions also entered after the integration of the Federation. Just as they began the first and most important meeting in federal history, the bad news suddenly came.
“What?” Including Long Haochen, all the senior federal officials in the large conference room stood up in shock, and the conference room was full of unease.
“The Devil Gods Hunter group and the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group were all wiped out…”
The news was too sudden and too shocking. For a moment, the whole conference room was silent, and everyone felt like a sledgehammer.
As the president of the Federation, Long Haochen looked even paler. At a time when the war between humans and devils was about to break out, this news was really shocking and the whole Temple Federation was blown away by it.
Apart from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, the only two remaining high-level hunter groups were the Devil Gods Hunter group and the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group. Long Haochen was not familiar with the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group but he was familiar with the Devil Gods Hunter group. The legendary almighty Chen Zidian had helped him in so many ways so that he could successfully ascend as the Federation’s president. However, he never thought that the Devil Gods Hunter group would be completely destroyed by the Devil clan in just a few months.
After a brief shock, Long Haochen forcibly suppressed his inner sadness and asked the head of the Imperial Hunter group who brought the news, “Are this news accurate?”
The head of the Imperial Hunter group, an old man of about eighty years old, said sadly, “The news is accurate. Elder Chen Zidian has always had specific contact information with our group. At the time of the incident, the news came quickly from him. He told us to withdraw to the Federation immediately. The God of Devils himself led the Moon Devil God, Star Devil God, Undead Devil God, Hell Devil God and more than a dozen devils to besiege them without warning. By the time the elder Chen Zidian sent the message, he was already about to be defeated. But before the Devil Gods Hunter group and the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group collapsed, they also fought back in the face of death and killed three devils. Chen Zidian elder also sent us an accurate figure. In addition to the three devil gods that were killed, as many as 54 other devils gathered in Madu. Chen Zidian’s last words puzzled me a little. He said, the God of Devils hides…”
“After he said the word hides, he stopped speaking, and it is obvious that he was badly hurt by the God of Devils.”
Hearing this, the high echelons of the Temple Federation could not help but gasped. Everyone looked at each other at the same time with shocking expressions, except Long Haochen who remained calm. The atmosphere in the conference room became completely rigid.
Long Haochen’s heart became heavy, and his eyes were full of grief. He did not know the strength of the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group, but he knew about the Devil Gods Hunter group led by Chen Zidian well. The psychic powers of all the members generally exceeded three-hundred thousands, they all had reached level nine of rank three and all their domain practices were also high. Chen Zidian’s practice level already reached the level nine of rank four.
Under his leadership, even if he were to be besieged by many strong enemies, he and one or two people should have been able to escape. However, in the end, the whole army was wiped out. If he didn’t know what could be done, how could Chen Zidian just spread the news instead of helping at least one teammate to break out of the siege?
Two high-level hunter groups fell, and for the Temple Federation, the blow was unparalleled. Especially in terms of morale, this was the heaviest blow since the founding of the new federation.
Yang Haohan said in a sunken voice, “Block the news and never let it get out. President, I suggest that all hunter groups in the territory of the Devil Clan be recalled immediately.”
Long Haochen nodded and said, “I agree. If anyone has a different opinion, say it now.”
The resolution was adopted unanimously. Even two high-level hunter groups had fallen to the Devil clan, which showed how determined the God of Devils was this time. If other hunter groups had continued to stay, they would only be killed.
After the resolution was completed, there was a sudden silence in the large conference room, and everyone was contemplating. They all felt a greater pressure than ever before.
The fall of the two high-level hunter groups made them fully feel that the holy war this time would be very different from the previous one. Not only the Anti-Heavenly Dragon clan, the Moon Devil clan, Star Devil clan were bound to participate in the war, but the God of Devils also summoned almost 90% of the Devil clan’s forces. This was clearly a decisive battle! The Devil clan were determined to destroy mankind in whole.
Yang Haohan sighed and said, “We have to use extra help.” At this point, he looked at Long Haochen and said with a deep voice, “President, I propose to deploy the power of the Knight’s Holy Mountain”
Long Haochen was stupefied for a moment since he did not fully understand the meaning of Yang Haohan’s words. Yang Haohan was now a Sealed Divine Knight and one of the masters of the Knight Temple, but he was not even a vice chairman in the new federation. However, at the critical moment, as a former leader of the alliance, he appeared surprisingly calm.
Hearing the word Knight’s Holy Mountain, the owners of the six temples all raised their heads with a curious look.
Long Haochen asked, “Lord Yang, what do you mean by the power of the Knight’s Holy Mountain?” In his impression, the Knight’s Holy Mountain was home to all kinds of light Warcraft, which was a place that provided mounts for excellent young knights. At the same time, it also provided some elders of the Knight Temple who were badly injured in the war with the devils. However, how could this power be mentioned as a counterweight to the devils? Yang Haohan’s words must mean something.
Yang Haohan slowly stood up and exchanged his eyes with several other temple masters. “When it comes to this critical moment of life and death, there are some things that must be said to everyone, and then the federal lawmakers can discuss and make a decision later,” Yang Haohan said.
Li Zhengzhi, the master of the Magic Temple, nodded and said, “That’s our only choice.”
Qiu Yonghao, the former master of the Soldiers Temple, Chen Hongyu, the master of the former Temple of Souls, Sheng Yue, the former master of the Assassin Temple and Ling Xiao, the master of the Priest Temple, all nodded their heads one after another.
Yang Haohan, seeing that all the lords agreed, turned to Long Haochen and said, “President, vice president and congressmen. I’m going to tell you the secret about the Knight’s Holy Mountain. Whether a resolution can be formed or not, please keep it a secret, because it is related to the morale of the federal army. Once it is leaked, it will certainly have an inestimable impact.”
In this short period of time, Long Haochen had vaguely guessed that the secret of the Knight’s Holy Mountain should be some kind of a killer mace of human beings against the devils. It was just that there should be something shady about this killer’s mace, otherwise it wouldn’t be so mysterious, and it could have been used in the previous holy war.
Yang Haohan said, “As early as 6,000 years ago, when the devil tribe came and attacked us, the lives of the Holy Devil Mainland were destroyed, and the human population that originally ruled the mainland plummeted. At that time, the Devil clan burned and looted and did everything evil.”
“In order to survive, capable compatriots can only choose to flee, under the continuous oppression of the devil clan. They finally gathered in the current sphere of influence of our temple federation and formed six temples to compete with the devils.”
“After decades of war, we finally regained our footing and stopped the attack of the devils with the help of the six fortresses where the six temples are located.. However, at that time, the devils were still strong and fought a decisive battle with the Temple Alliance at that time.”
