Chapter 138 Allies
Veritti is the messenger of the god of knowledge and insight.
The war of the gods is drawing ever closer.
The gods all send their messengers to travel the world to expand their power and win over allies.
The Kingdom of Norton, where Viliti resides, has received the will of the gods.
The planning has already begun.
Not long ago, a legion of the Norton Empire moved toward the Sunset Empire.
Prepare for a surprise attack on the Sunset Empire to weaken the Beast God's power in this direction.
More preparations are needed for the timing of the attack.
At this time, the Norton Empire Temple dispatched a large number of divine messengers to various places to seek cooperative forces.
Viliti had only recently been promoted to Divine Envoy and was originally supposed to go to serve in the Legion.
Unexpectedly, the temple gave him new instructions, sending him to the Dark Forest to make contact with the newly arrived lord.
As the messenger of the god of knowledge and insight.
Verity was not an arrogant fool, even knowing that the other party was a lord who had only recently arrived.
They remained humble and respectful.
After being allowed to enter the other party's territory.
Veritti was shocked by what he saw.
"So much gold."
"And those legions are not much different from Norton's elite troops."
"Even the senior lords under the temple do not possess this level of strength."
"Is he really a newly arrived lord?"
Veritti was filled with doubt.
Not long after, she arrived at the main hall and saw Lin Chuan sitting on the throne of the alliance leader.
"Where do the divine messengers come from?"
Lin Chuan sized up the other party for a moment before speaking.
"Norton, the god of knowledge and insight."
He paused for a moment and then continued.
"Our god has issued a divine decree."
"The war of the gods is about to begin, to shelter more lost sheep."
"Send me to wander the lands, to find those without refuge."
"Your Mightiness."
"Your territory is near the Crimson Plains, which is adjacent to the Beast God Sunset Empire and the Black Tower Dragon Nest, a subordinate of the Dragon God."
.
"Beyond the Dark Forest lies the territory of my Norton Kingdom."
"If the war of the gods begins, and the three sides fight each other, your territory will inevitably be the first to be conquered."
"If you are willing to believe in my God."
"The temple will grant you the status of a lord's messenger."
"The Norton Empire will send legions to assist you in your defense."
After explaining her purpose, Viliti looked at Lin Chuan not far away, waiting for his response.
Normally, a newly arrived lord would agree.
After all, the news of the God War was public knowledge.
The chances of a newly arrived lord surviving in the war of gods are almost zero.
Of course, some did survive, but they were all extremely lucky and hid in remote areas.
However, for a lord like this, situated at the intersection of three forces, the probability of survival is extremely small.
You need to know that this is the area.
Whether it's the Dragon God, the Beast God, or the God of Knowledge and Insight, they are all deities of medium divine power.
A mere new lord.
When the war of the gods began, a large number of supplicants descended upon the mortal realm.
With the blessing of divine power, the golden seed rapidly advanced to the level of a demigod.
Any demigod could come and unleash a forbidden spell that would destroy this territory.
Therefore, the possibility of the lord refusing is zero.
Veriti has already begun to think about how to establish a parish here.
He applied to the temple himself to become the bishop of this diocese.
Independent parishes are blessed by the divine.
When the war of gods begins, I will surely receive divine power and become a demigod-level bishop.
But just as she was planning her famous future.
A voice abruptly interrupted.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to become a believer at the moment."
Viliti paused for a moment, but quickly composed himself.
He humbly bowed and asked.
"Sir, may I ask why?"
"Gods' war is dangerous; your strength may be considerable."
"But in the war of the gods, the golden race are just cannon fodder."
"
"The forces under your command seem to be doing quite well right now."
"But in a war of gods, a mere forbidden spell from a demigod can instantly kill them."
"You must consider this carefully."
"If there are any other conditions, you can bring them up. I am the divine messenger of the temple and can do my best to help you."
Her attitude was very kind.
Lin Chuan shook his head.
There's no particular reason.
"I'm just trying it out. I want to see if I can advance my strength to the level of a weak god before the war of the gods."
This answer makes perfect sense.
Veritti was not surprised.
Many divine lords once had this idea, but before the divine war arrived, they knew what kind of insurmountable barrier it was.
After a moment's thought, Viliti spoke.
"Your Mightiness."
"The gates of the temple of knowledge are always open to you."
She didn't continue trying to persuade her, but instead chose another approach.
"If you wish, we can form an alliance."
"The Beast God is in danger."
"The Dragon God is xenophobic."
"The God of Knowledge and Insight welcomes any power to join, and any non-hostile power originates from its alliance with him."
An alliance, that's a possibility.
Lin Chuan has won several battles so far.
However, against a vast orc empire, such losses were negligible.
Even now, those who participate in combat are mostly private soldiers of nobles.
The true main force of the Orc Empire did not participate.
Forming an alliance with a powerful force allows you to obtain intelligence from them without being surrounded by enemies.
As the divine messenger just mentioned, there are three divine forces in this area.
The Beast God himself is hostile, and the Black Tower Dragon Nest also has a high level of hatred towards it.
It would be best if this last god of knowledge and insight did not turn into an enemy.
"How will the alliance be formed?"
"What do I need to give in return?"
""
"And what can you gain?"
Lin Chuan asked.
Viliti pulled out a seal that was flashing white light.
A map then appeared.
"Once we become allies, trade routes in this region will be opened."
"Your caravan may proceed to our border and obtain the right to trade."
"Purchase the necessary supplies from the Norton Empire."
"When your territory is attacked, you can purchase reinforcements from us, but you will need to pay a certain fee."
"When our territory is attacked, you are obligated to send troops to reinforce it, and we will pay the relevant expenses."
"In addition, you must allow us to build temples and erect idols on your territory."
Lin Chuan tapped the seat handle lightly with his fingers.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Trade is mutually beneficial."
"Mutual support is an obligation that allies should fulfill."
"Build temples, erect statues of gods, and open channels of communication."
"There are no problems with any of these."
However, my idea is to first establish a small town on our border.
Caravans from both sides traded here, and temples were also erected here.
As for sending troops to reinforce...
When I make this request to you, you may agree to send troops or refuse, depending on the severity of the situation.
Similarly, if you encounter a crisis and the situation is far beyond my capabilities, I can refuse to send reinforcements.
How about this?
Viliti smiled slightly.
"Then your ally's level is the lowest one."
The temple has set five levels for its allies.
The highest level is the Blood Alliance.
The lowest level is like this, where knowledge is merely not an adversary.
The goods traded were merely ordinary resources.
Those at a higher level don't engage in trading.
Below this level, they become enemies.
Viliti was clearly dissatisfied, but he still signed the agreement at Lin Chuan's insistence.
"Then, Lord Lin Chuan."
"Let's use the small town on the edge of the Dark Forest as our trading post."
"That area is near a barony in the Norton Empire."
"I will return later and inform the Baron."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly.
"Take care, I'll wait for your news."
Veritti bowed and left.
Antonia.
Have you heard of the god of knowledge and insight?
Lin Chuan inquired.
"No, perhaps it's a new divine position."
"The god I know is an all-knowing god."
"This is a powerful deity, whose divine power is comparable to that of a god-emperor."
"At one time, it was able to unify the divine realm."
"Unfortunately, they suffered a crushing defeat in a divine war, and the entire divine court was reduced to ashes."
"This god of knowledge and insight must have mastered some of its divine power."
"Based on the information I have, deities who hold this position are rarely insane; most are rational."
As long as he's not crazy.
If he were to face a three-way attack, he would only be in danger of dying.
Lin Chuan then opened the map, having already copied it into his system when the divine envoy had shown it.
"A battlefield of three wars."
"That's really dangerous."
"I want to survive the war of gods."
"At the very least, we must first conquer the Sunset Empire, advance to a lesser divine level, and then ally ourselves with the God of Knowledge and Insight."
"Join forces to resist the attack from the Beast God and the Dragon's Nest."
Lin Chuan pondered.
Just then, a figure walked in from outside.
"Vivian greets Your Excellency."
"Promoted to Gold-tier?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Then an ice phoenix was summoned.
"The bloodline of the Ice Witch allows me to form a contract with an elemental creature."
"During the advancement, I was fortunate enough to contract a Golden Ice Phoenix."
"In an icy and snowy environment, the Ice Phoenix can transform into armor to amplify my combat power, allowing me to reach the Brilliant Species level."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan's eyes lit up.
"Choosing Vivian was the right choice."
He then remembered that he had promised a lord in the Ice Wasteland that he would help him deal with the barbarian threat.
"Now that we have the Ice Phoenix, it's time to make our move."
Contact the other party immediately.
The message was replied to very quickly.
"Boss Lin, you've been prepared for this for a long time."
"Wait a moment, I'll activate the teleportation array."
