Warlord: King of All Clans

Anthony Secco is not only a Holy Order priest, he is also the Cardinal Archbishop of the South Territory, and his status in the church is second only to the Pope of Holy Light.

Moreover, when the Imperial Capital established a Disaster Defense Council last time, Antonisse saw that he could not escape and turned to strongly support the establishment of the council. He won the support of all major forces and became the vice president of the Disaster Defense Council and the person in charge of the Northern Saint Stage.

The Disaster Defense Council is not well-known among the people, and even many local nobles have never heard of it.

But the members of the parliament are either saints or representatives of continental forces. Even if it is a non-profit organization, the power is amazing.

Antonisse is one of the Five Permanent Members after all, and Leo, the Count of the River Bay, is just a small Karami in front of him.

Behind Leo, Noreen and Freya both saw Antonisse, the former stepped forward to salute, while the latter squatted at the gate and wagged her tail obediently.

Norin knelt on one knee respectfully, folded her hands across her chest, bowed her head and shouted: "Knock to the Saint!"

This is the standard kneeling ceremony for the Southern Territory believers to the saints. As a native of the Imperial Capital, Norin herself is also a believer in the Holy Light.

The holy-level extraordinary people are called living saints in the Holy Light Church and have a very sacred status. Nolin is relatively reserved. If ordinary Holy Light believers see a holy-level priest appear before them, they will just prostrate themselves and pray fanatically.

Freya is different. Wagging her tail is her best way to show friendliness to strangers. The noble elf princess has her own reserve.

Antonisse smiled and nodded to the two of them, then followed Leo into the big house.

As soon as he entered the big house, Anthony's eyes fell on a group of foreign cubs fighting and playing, and he couldn't help but smile a little.

Seeing this, Leo quickly waved his hand and called to the head maid, Elodie, "Hurry back to the underground dormitory and don't offend the noble man!"

Elodi pouted and unwillingly took a few older ogres and orc children with him, and drove the cubs back to the underground dormitory like sweeping the floor with a broom.

The Church of Holy Light is the state religion of the Orlantis Empire and has an unparalleled status.

Thousands of years ago, when the predecessor of the Orlantis Empire, the Orlantiri Griffin Kingdom, was still one of the dozen or so small kingdoms in the south, it relied on the support of the Church of Holy Light to rise up and unify the entire southern region.

During the rise of the empire, the biggest enemies were the various wild alien races.

At that time, in addition to the small human kingdoms, the Three Realms were also home to a large number of alien kingdoms and tribes, which were no weaker than the human kingdoms.

As the embodiment of imperial culture, the teachings of the Church of Holy Light also kept pace with the times, gradually classifying alien races as demons and using fanatical beliefs to enhance the fighting spirit of human soldiers.

Today, there are almost no wild aliens in the South, but the City of Holy Light still has the powerful Knights Templar and Crusaders, and its military strength has always ranked first in the South.

Whenever a foreign race establishes a country in the three realms of the empire and poses a threat to the human race, the Crusaders will launch an expedition.

For example, the Earl MacDonald family south of Earl Gustav's territory was descended from the Knights Templar, and every generation had family descendants who became Knights Templar in the City of Holy Light.

Rather than being a vassal family of the Southern Territory Royal Family, it would be more accurate to say that it is a vassal family of the Pope of Holy Light.

Under such a culture, the people of the southern border who followed the teachings of the Holy Light certainly did not have a good impression of the foreign races in the wilderness. Even the holy priest Antonisse could not help but look unhappy when he saw a room full of foreign races.

Fortunately, he was somewhat of a wise elder and knew the situation in the river bend in advance. Unlike the ordinary cultivators in the southern border, he would shout and kill when he saw aliens.

Seeing that Leo had driven away the aliens, he didn't say much.

Sitting down in the living room, Antonisse said, "I have been defending the Gate of Calamity in the north and have been communicating with Master Bobak. I have benefited a lot in the past two years and have gained a lot of insights."

"Master Bobak often talks about you, saying that you and I have similar interests and must have a lot of common topics, so during this break, I came to the river bend to take a look."

Leo was very confused. What could I, a northern barbarian earl who raised aliens, have in common with you, a southern holy light priest?

Seeing Leo's confused expression, Antonisse said again: "Master Bobak has agreed to let me study in the atrium and has given me high-level privileges."

Leo was even more surprised. He had restarted the Atrium for a long time and knew how amazing the knowledge reserves of the Atrium were.

Almost all of the knowledge of the entire race living under the mountain for tens of thousands of years is backed up in the atrium.

Unlocking advanced permissions means that you can browse the knowledge of all the races living under the mountain in the atrium, and you can also get help from El and obtain some knowledge of the elves.

The knowledge here is not only technology, but also includes extraordinary ways!

As the acting lord of the atrium, Leo only has the authority to grant intermediate levels of authority to outsiders.

Up to now, he, the acting lord, is the only one who possesses high-level authority in the entire atrium.

It seems that Master Bobak is very optimistic about this holy priest!

Master Bobak has always liked to secretly support the up-and-coming talents at the foot of the mountain, and his five hundred years of life experience and demigod-level personal realm also enable him to easily peek into people's hearts and see clearly a person's character.

Antonisse dispelled Leo's doubts with just one sentence, and the two of them immediately got along much better.

After a few pleasantries, Antonisse talked about what he saw along the way. "I traveled all the way south from the north, and found that the withered land in the northern snowfields has further expanded and has spread to the entire coast of the North Glacier. The orc defense line on the south bank is very tight. You, the earl of the northern border, should pay attention. I estimate that you will have to organize a legion in the next two years to go north to assist the orcs in defense."

Leo was puzzled. "Didn't Master Bobak block the door with the Holy Order? Why are the undead in the northern snowfield getting stronger?"

Antonisse explained: "We blocked the source of the death magic, but we can't take back the dissipated part. The ice and snow in the northern snowfields have not melted for thousands of years, and buried the corpses of living beings accumulated over thousands of years. As the withered land expands, the size of the undead army will also expand. This requires the mortal army to solve it themselves."

Leo was also silent. The death magic gushing out of the Gate of Calamity was irreversible and could only be consumed by defeating the Undead Legion.

Master Bobak brought several saints to block the gate of Calamity Gate, using this method to slowly consume the main death magic.

But the magic of death, like air, flows from high pressure to low pressure on its own, and Master Bobak has no effective means of isolating it to prevent it from dissipating.

Only a small amount of the scattered death magic spread to the northern snowfields and formed a withered land, creating batches of undead after batches of undead, forming a legion moving southward.

If Master Bobak had not blocked the door in advance, it would have spread throughout the entire North by now.
