Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.

The Vatican State that believes in the gods is equally strong. Although they do not have the centralized power of the Empire, they have twelve archbishops who can use powerful faith magic and a large number of missionaries. At the same time, the Vatican also has a so-called Vatican Knights Order that is blessed by the gods.

Last but not least, due to the long-term brainwashing of the Holy See, almost all citizens of this country are believers. This kind of control at the faith level has made the people's loyalty to the Holy See reach 200 percent.

It is precisely because of the Vatican's complete control over the people that even if it does not have a well-trained army like the Empire, when facing war, as long as the Vatican says a word, these believers will put down everything else in their hands, pick up their not-so-sophisticated weapons, and rush forward roaring.

In their cognition, death is not terrible, death is just the beginning. As long as one dies for the gods, one will ascend to the mountain of glory after death and enjoy wealth and glory in the kingdom of gods.

It is precisely this state of universal believers that ensures that the twelve archbishops never lack firewood when using large-scale faith magic.

As for the third country that was finally born from the combination of multiple races such as night elves and druids, no, it is not accurate to call it a country, it is more appropriate to call it a force.

The reason they got together was because they were forced to do so.

Their living environment is in the dark forest.

Although there are constant frictions between the Empire and the Church, with a small battle every three days and a big battle every five days, even so, they still have enough energy to treat them as wild monsters.

Even the night elves with their delicate skin and handsome looks became the main hunting targets of the two countries. After being captured, they were treated as high-level slaves and toyed with by officials and dignitaries.

In order to prevent their own race from extinction, the night elves and jungle druids, as the leaders, united with jungle trolls, wetland murlocs, ogres, orcs, etc. to form an alliance to advance and retreat together and resist the invasion of humans.

Later, the night elves and jungle druids developed a powerful transformation magic that could transform trees that had grown to a certain age into tree men.

No human has yet been able to learn this transformation magic. Not to mention learning it, they don’t even know how many years a tree has to be to be transformed into a tree man.

The appearance of the tree man makes the already dangerous Dark Night Forest even more dangerous.

As the saying goes, businessmen pursue profit. Even with the establishment of the alliance, there are tree people disguised as ordinary trees waiting for an opportunity to eliminate invaders, but there are still many businessmen who sneak into the Night Forest and plunder the night elves in order to make enough profits.

Most of them died in the Dark Night Forest because of this, but even so it could not stop their pursuit of wealth.

It is precisely because there are fewer night elf slaves on the market that the price of night elves has skyrocketed, and they have become a symbol of status and wealth for many dignitaries.

Every time it appears, it will be snatched up, and they can make a lot of money from it.

The kingdom they were in had been destroyed beyond recognition by the careful cultivation of the two dreadlords, and the little potential they had left had been completely drained away when the portal was opened this time.

Even if they continued to plunder here, they would not be able to get much oil, so the two Dreadlords made a plan and cast a large-scale magic, killing all the people in the fiefdom, extracting their souls and condensing them into several soul crystals, and their flesh and blood condensed into three blood beads.

After packing the only two remaining boxes of gold coins, the two Dreadlords left this ruined land. What they were about to enter next was not a centralized empire, but a Vatican state controlled by the Vatican.

As for Valon, he had no interest in a land that had been plundered many times by the Dreadlords. Since the two Dreadlords went to the Vatican, Valon would go to the Empire to cause some trouble.

After all, the undead are led by Bai and Lich. We just need to give them time to develop on their own and there is no need to worry about them. Naturally, Valon can focus more on other things.

If Bai were to come, considering his own and the opponent's overall strength, Bai would definitely infiltrate from the smallest villages like he did at the beginning, slaughtering the villages one after another and turning the villagers into undead.

Then the situation will snowball, and when the number of undead increases, they will launch an attack on human towns.

When the strength has accumulated to a certain level, we will engage in a head-on battle with the imperial army.

This set of operations can be said to be the safest, but it will take a long time, and the empire is not like the original kingdom. Not only does it have a battle-hardened army, but the central government also has very close ties with the local areas under the leadership of the Blood Emperor.

Coupled with the lack of cooperation from the nobles, I am afraid that the large-scale death of people will soon attract the attention of the empire and the army will be sent to encircle and suppress it.

So after entering the empire, Wallon decisively joined the northern border guards.

Yes, as the kingdom quickly fell into chaos under the dual attacks from the undead led by Bai and the dreadlords, the nobles fought for power with each other, and it can be said that people's brains were almost turned into dog brains.

The empire had thought about taking advantage of the enemy's chaos to march north and seize land to expand the empire's territory.

However, when the spy sent back the information, the Blood Emperor decisively gave up his plan to advance.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that the local environment is too bad.

Large tracts of towns and villages were reduced to ashes in the war. Ordinary people either starved to death or were drafted into the army by the nobles. The few who survived died in the aftermath of the war between the nobles.

The fields were barren, overgrown with weeds, bandits were rampant, and it was difficult to control.

Although the empire seems very powerful today, it actually still has many internal problems, and it must always be on guard against the pressure from the Vatican outside.

There is simply no extra energy to fight for and govern the chaotic land, which will only add unnecessary trouble to oneself.

Of course, it is unrealistic to leave it alone. In order to ensure the security of the border, in addition to the original border troops, the empire also drew troops from other regions to supplement them.

Today, Wallonia has set its sights on this strengthened border army.

Although the empire is thriving under the rule of the Blood Emperor, as a feudal country, it is inevitable to have the inherent drawbacks and limitations brought about by the times.

Valon killed a minor officer and disguised himself as him, easily blending into the border troops.

After some inquiries and conversations with other junior officers and soldiers, Valon soon had several alternative targets.

There are seven people in total. All of them hold the rank of centurion in the border army and are in charge of about a hundred people. However, each of them is unwelcome in the border army for various reasons, and it is almost impossible for them to move up further.
