Chapter 717 Breakthrough
On the side of the Holy See of Light, it is not just the 500 million main army of the Holy Kingdom of Light located in the headquarters of Bachirut who swore to go out.

At the same time, in the north, east, and south directions of the "Godless Alliance" sphere of influence, there are also legions with a total of more than 700 million troops acting at the same time and launching an attack on the "Godless Alliance" together!

The total is 1200 million people!

Vigorous and menacing, it seems that it will completely submerge the "Godless Alliance" in one fell swoop.

On the vast land, in the rolling mountains, or on various complex terrains.

Ant colonies are everywhere.

There are endless horns ringing in my ears.

Overwhelming, boundless!
The soldiers are like forests, and the flags are like clouds!
Looking around, the defensive forces in the "Godless Alliance" camp are all trembling and their eyes are full of horror.

Even in the face of the exaggerated numbers of the Legion of Light, some of the outlying kingdoms of the "Godless Alliance" had their morale collapsed and they had no sense of fighting.

"God's punishment! God's punishment has come down, we are all finished!"

"It can't be beaten. Their strength is dozens of times that of ours. They can drown us with a single spit. It is impossible to stop them!"

"Surrender, let's surrender, there is only one outcome of resistance, and we will all die!"

"That's right, we're not nobles, we're just ordinary soldiers and strong men, it's okay to surrender, the benevolent God will forgive us once, as long as we can survive, we can continue to believe in the God of Light, and we don't have to go to heaven after death, Just turn it into the holy power of heaven.” Out of fear of death, some people don’t even want their souls, they just want to keep one life, and it doesn’t matter whether they go to heaven or not.

"The king's order: Immediately switch and surrender. The Kingdom of Braetto is declared to be the Holy Kingdom of Brightness in Braetto. His Majesty the King is willing to give up his rights and become the guardian of the Holy Kingdom, devoutly worshiping the God of Light. From then on, he is willing to serve as the Holy See for life. Serve, throw your head and blood, always be loyal, never betray, I implore the gods to accept!"

"What? His Majesty the King has surrendered? The nobles have given up resistance?"

"This……"

Yes, surrender.

In less than two months, among the 22 outlying kingdoms that had privately joined the "Godless Alliance", 8 of them did not even make a serious resistance to the overwhelming Legion of Light coming from all directions. The high-level officials of the kingdom and even the supreme king surrendered one after another under extreme fear.

Even if they know they will lose power after surrendering.

Even if they know that they have surrendered, based on the previous conflicts and the casualties caused to the Holy See, the Holy See of Light will definitely liquidate them and may bring them to trial.

But compared with the ending of nothing or certain death after fierce resistance, choosing to surrender may save a small life.

Compared with life, power, wealth, dignity, decency, and even the soul are not worth mentioning, because compared to the pursuit of nothingness, living existence is the most real and most precious.

With this in mind, all those who were a little bit resigned to their lives were shaken in front of millions of bright legions, from the lowest-level soldiers to the highest-level kings and nobles.

Especially after seeing no possibility of winning and no room for bargaining, unconditional surrender has become almost the only choice.

Therefore, within two months, in the "Godless Alliance", 8 outlying kingdoms chose to surrender, and among the other 14 outlying kingdoms, 6 out of the other [-] outlying kingdoms experienced a period of relatively slight resistance, and the kings and nobles fled en masse. The remaining resistance forces had to choose to surrender.

In the end, there were 8 outlying kingdoms, all of which were resolute resisters. Each kingdom stubbornly resisted to the end. In many castle battles, both the attackers and the defenders were bloody, like Shura hell!

Speaking of which, why didn't the remaining 8 outlying kingdoms surrender, but suddenly resisted so fiercely?In stark contrast to the previous 14 outlying kingdoms?
Why is this happening?

There is no way, surrender is death, and not surrender is death, it is better to pull a few backs and die!
Because after the surrender of the previous 14 outlying kingdoms, faced with the capture of more than 150 aristocrats, as well as millions of middle- and lower-level civilian soldiers and strong men...the total number of captives is nearly [-] million, and the high-level of the Holy See-the Red Archbishop of Yi, Aubalkh, asked the God of Light for instructions on how to deal with it.

The God of Light gave a reply that shocked all the higher-ups.

"kill!"

"The beliefs of these believers have all been shaken. Most of the ropes of faith have been broken. It is impossible to rebuild the ropes of faith, and the beliefs provided are no longer pure."

"They lose any usable value!"

"Their only value now is to let all believers know: betray God, what will happen!"

The oracle issued by the God of Light means standing up, using 150 million human heads to prove that God's faith cannot be violated!
Let everyone know: God traitors will all go to hell!
As soon as the oracle came out, the senior officials of the Holy See of Light were stunned for a moment, and then nodded in unison:

"That's right, this is what happens when you dare to betray God!"

"Death is the greatest forgiveness for them!"

"It is undeniable that there will be some innocent people who have been misled, but giving up belief in God is an unforgivable sin!"

"Kill all these captives, and the other believers will become more devout and determined!"

"But...that's 150 million people!"

The frontline coach Hilbert stood up and objected: "It is enough to kill the 20 nobles. The remaining more than 100 million soldiers are usually farmers and workers. Kill them, this..." This is not appropriate.

Hilbert is not a holy mother, but killing so many people at once, most of them innocent people... This is too violent and does not conform to the usual style of the Holy See of Light.

"But this is God's will." An elder in white robe shook his head and said, God's will must not be violated.

"The traitors should end here! Hilbert, you speak for those traitors, don't you want to betray God too?" Another elder asked with half-closed eyes.

"No no!"

Hilbert shook his head again and again: "I think those foolish people are ignorant, but they are not guilty of death."

"Ignorance is a sin, and it is a death penalty! Hilbert, you don't have to say any more. Whatever God says, do as God wants!"

Au Balkh, who was sitting at the top, waved his hand and said impatiently.

Hilbert had no choice but to shut up, but he tried his best to fight for it before he went on a killing spree, and finally persuaded Archbishop Auerbach to agree to burn the more than 20 noble kings to death. As for the more than 100 million middle- and lower-level captives, all Organize them into death camps and let them serve as cannon fodder and human shields to attack those high-defense cities and castles.

Naturally, the way the Holy See of Light handled the captives dispelled the idea of ​​surrendering from the remaining outlying kingdoms, so they could only desperately resist, in order to pull a few more backs when they were all dead anyway.

Nearly two months later, the Legion of Light broke through successively, captured the remaining 8 outlying kingdoms, and completely broke through the outer line of defense of the "Godless Alliance".

The tragic first phase of the battle came to an end.

In the end, Hilbert's good guys didn't make it. Because the resistance of the remaining eight outlying kingdoms far exceeded imagination, not only were all the more than 100 million captives consumed, but more than 200 million people were taken in.

The combatable number of the Legion of Light has dropped below 1000 million... The offensive situation tends to weaken.

In this way, the war between the two sides has entered the second stage.
