At noon the next day, after finishing his work, Qi Ge, accompanied by Umi Apple, came to the Mermaid Village of the Mermaid Shrine.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for obtaining the [Mermaid Village] recruitment authority. ]
[System prompt: You can recruit mermaids for a total of 240 points.]
Sea Apple said to Seven Pigeons with some guilt:
"My dear, according to the rules, your [Deep Sea King Medal] can only recruit 20 mermaid heroes every month.
I will use my authority to advance you your entire one-year share.
I would love to give you unlimited authority, but I cannot be a dictator over the mermaid tribe.
This is all I can do.”
"That's enough."
Qi Ge was moved and took Hai Pingguo's hand.
“Not only did you provide me with all the recruitment resources, you also helped me open the back door.
No verbal thanks can express the gratitude in my heart.
I will always remember this deep love in my heart."
Qi Ge pulled out a long list from [Mermaid Village].
As the king of the deep sea, Qi Ge's recruitment of [Mermaid Heroic Soul Troops] is not restricted by the rank and quality of the troops.
For level 1 normal and level 4 hidden, Qi Ge only needs to consume 1 point.
[Mermaid Village] is a mythical building that can directly recruit miracle soldiers.
But each miracle soldier requires 50 points.
Taking all factors into consideration, recruiting the 4th-level hidden soldiers is the most cost-effective for Qi Ge.
There is still a big difference in value between the 50 hidden heroic spirits and 1 miracle heroic spirit.
But considering the particularity of the city defense battle, Qi Ge had to make choices in other aspects.
“When the God-chosen City was first selected, it was close to the mountains and the sea.
So there is a lot of tactical options.”
There are 36 types of mermaid soldiers in total. Qi Ge made his choice after just a few glances.

Level 5: The Sky-Changing Sea
"2 Mermaid Sea Shepherds, 2 Mermaid Tide Warlocks, 40 Wave Witches.
4 miracles are worth 200 points, 40 hidden ones are worth 40 points, which is exactly 240 points.
Is this okay?
After Qi Ge finished making his selection, he turned to Hai Ping Guo and asked.
Sea Apple replied with some hesitation:
“It can be.
But dear, would you like to consider the [Mermaid Apprentice Maid] of [Level 4, Stage 4 Miracle]?
This is my [Sea God Priestess] prerequisite troop. Although they are only trainees, they can also use some of the divine power.
They can pray to the gods and summon powerful sea beasts from the depths of the sea.
If you are lucky, you can even summon mythical sea beasts to help you in the battle.
If you have 240 points, you can exchange for 4 apprentice maids and summon 4 mythical sea beasts!"
Haipingguo winked at Qige and blinked her eyelids continuously.
The meaning is very clear. It is said to be luck, but in fact it is not luck at all. She can help with cheating.
Qi Ge laughed:
“Thank you very much.
But the enemy I'm going to face this time is probably not something that can be dealt with by a few myths.
In comparison, I am more optimistic about my choice.
The cooperation of these three arms can create miracles."
"Oh well……"
Sea Apple pouted and asked:
"What on earth do the Seven Pigeons want to do? How powerful must an enemy be that even four mythical sea beasts can't defeat?
Are you planning to do something big again?"
"Haha, it's not a big deal.
It's just that I'm greedy and asking for trouble.
If I can guarantee no loss, I will definitely be greedy to death."
Qi Ge explained his plan to upgrade the county town to Hai Pingguo.
Sea Apple understood and asked seriously:
“In that case, I’m going to help too.
Although I can't interfere with your defense of the city, I can use it as a trump card just in case.
By the way, I’ll bring Bingqing and my mermaid guards with me.
That’s what we call foolproof.”
Qi Ge was stunned for a moment:
"It would be best if you and Bingqing could come, but can you spare the time?"
Sea Apple covered her mouth and said with a smile:
"Of course no problem! You are now the focus of our Poseidon Church.
An ally recognized even by Poseidon.
It is one of my jobs to help you when you are in trouble.
This is all official business, there is no personal relationship ."
"That's great."
Qi Ge suddenly felt relieved.
He thought about it carefully, and now the luxurious support group of [God's Chosen City Upgraded to County City] includes:
Uncle Arnoldsage, Adrian, Adela, Sylvia, Sea Apple, Bingqing.
By this calculation, the number of strong people that Qige has used just in case is 2 demigods and 4 true legends.
In addition, there is Teacher Agaide who belongs to the [God's Chosen City] and can participate in the battle, two demigods, and five true legends...
This lineup can be used to fight in the national war.
If used to attack Erathia, there will be no problem in reaching the Holy Sky City.
Ronis shuddered.
Sea Apple goes to gather her mermaid guards.
The Seven Pigeons returned to the Red Elf and prepared to send Ur to the Temple of the Sea at the Mermaid Shrine together with the Holy Sea Dragon Olifar.
Qi Ge half-knelt, took hold of Wu'er's hands, put her on his shoulders, then reached back, supported Wu'er's buttocks, and with a strong force, lifted Wu'er up on his back.
Olifar was stunned:
"Aquaman, that's the body of a true god-level hero after all.
This is a divine body, and you are just using your hands to desecrate its buttocks?"
What's the big deal? I've touched Ur's naked butt and patted it twice. It feels very good.
Qi Ge said indifferently:
"A god body that cannot wake up is just a piece of meat. Don't mind it.
Master Olivar, let's go."
Olifar felt that Qi Ge's calmness was a little inappropriate, which made him look like a fool.
He even suspected at one point that this was his own problem.
With a strange feeling that "something is wrong, but I just can't put it into words", Olifar added [Light Steps] to the Seven Pigeons.
The seven doves carried Ur on their backs, walked on the sea, and came to the Stairs to the Sea step by step.
[Mermaid Priestess] and [Sea God Maid] shook their heads and saluted the seven pigeons, activating the Stairway to the Sea.
The Seven Pigeons and Olifar stood on the Stairs to the Sea. The Stairs to the Sea were like an escalator with sea water flowing back and forth, dragging the Seven Pigeons and Olifar upwards.
At the same time, the [Maiden of the Sea God] led the army of sea beasts and surrounded the [Liuhuo Pirates].
Just after escaping from the shadow of the demigod, he was surrounded by mythical soldiers and a large army of sea beasts.
Versailles didn't know who to tell about the pain in his heart.
He smiled flatteringly and begged for mercy humbly:
“My Lords, although I am an evil god, I am also a sea hunter.
My awe of the sea god is no less than my worship of the abyss.
Please don't hurt us, we are willing to cooperate."
A golden light flashed in the eyes of [Seagod Maid], and she said in a cold voice:
"Hmph! The smell of your blood makes me sick.
This blood-red sin value alone is enough to prove how evil you have committed.
His Majesty the Sea King has ordered that you will not be killed.
But you need to atone your sins under our supervision.
Come with me, I will give you a deserted island, and you have to find a way to survive.
As for your fleet, sorry, it's all confiscated!"
“It would be better to kill me.
What did I do to offend anyone? I encountered this kind of thing for no reason.
I just want to rob a merchant ship, woo woo woo."
Versailles sat on the deck decadently, feeling extremely desolate.
…
…
Just last night, Gabriel led the [Holy Angel Legion] to attack the [Fortress of Sin].
Selron, who had been waiting for a long time, led the [Hellboy Legion] and launched a sneak attack at the critical moment of the battle.
In the absence of Ronis, the [Holy Angel Legion] was no match for the [Hellboy Legion] and was defeated.
Only four Hellboys died in the [Hellboy Legion], while the [Holy Angel Legion] has sacrificed more than twenty [Holy Angels], and the sacrifice of ordinary angels has reached three digits.
[Archangel] Gabriel was seriously injured, [War Monk] Inheim was seriously injured.
At this time, there was a considerable distance between the continent of Orfu and Erathia.
Unless Michael descended from the sky forcibly, it would be almost impossible for him to transmit his divine power.
Finally, Gabriel had to abandon the Holy Angel and lead the remaining troops to escape.
Selron wanted to give chase, but considering that Ur's whereabouts were unknown and he lacked confidence, he had no choice but to give up.
After this battle, the angels suffered heavy losses, but the forces of Hell were even worse off.
[The Castle of Sin] was devastated and the miracle building [The Hellland] was destroyed.
The battle between angels and demons has always been like this.
Neither side could fight to the end, so neither side could gain an advantage.
It is a loss-making situation for both parties. There is no winner, only two losers.
The difference is who loses more and who loses less.
"The devil will eventually be judged, and the highest judgment will come.
Selron, enjoy your last moments."
Rather than losing the battle, Gabriel uttered a harsh word, tore up the scroll, and teleported away with the remaining troops.
boom!!
A huge explosion, accompanied by light and heat, sounded in the air.
Above the sky of [Fortress of Sin], the [Holy Angel] exploded one after another. This battleship, which had served in Erathia for 146 years, slowly fell from the sky.
The [Holy Angel] could no longer spread its holy wings of light, and the rune halo surrounding the [Holy Angel] also became dim.
Its life span has come to an end today.
The fall of the Holy Angel also marked the end of the era of holy war between Erathia and Ofer.
The hatred that has continued since the moment the angel descended will never dissipate.
But neither Ofer nor Erathia had the ability to continue the hatred.
Whether both parties are willing or not, whether both parties are happy or not.
The endless ocean of cruelty and fairness has ruthlessly separated these two irreconcilable countries.
There was no longer any possibility of a large-scale conflict between Oufu and Erathia.
The old era has ended and the new era is about to begin.
Holy war is no longer the purpose of Erathia and Ofer's existence.
These two countries, which rely on demons and angels respectively, must find their own direction in the new era.
The bigger the car, the harder it is to turn around.
The inertia of "everything for holy war" will inevitably bring pain to Erathia and Ofer.
But after the pain, the two renewed forces will also be reborn.
“The future is here.
Now is the future.
Abyss above, why is the future of our Oufu so bleak and bleak? "
Selron stood on the ruins of the Holy Angel, feeling dejected.
A momentary victory was not enough to make him happy.
The pleasure of tearing and cutting the deadly enemy into pieces could not suppress the worries in Selron's heart.
He knew that if he failed to find Ur, his man, Ofer, would have to go through an extremely dark time.
Ofer is no longer the free-spirited Ofer he once was.
The country that was shattered by the angels needs to be reorganized.
A ruined city needs to be rebuilt.
Without Ur, there would be no way to move the Chaos Nodes away once they erupted in Over.
They have to deal with the troublesome Chaos monsters and Chaos Treasure Houses in the border of Oufu by themselves.
Selron pressed the sickle to the ground and leaned against it in a daze.
Perhaps because his reaction was too strange, none of the other demons around dared to disturb him.
At this moment, Selron seemed to have spent several days to complete a game and defeated a BOSS.
Full of emptiness and powerlessness.
There are obviously many things to do next, but he just doesn't know what he should do now.
"Let's go back. Let's go back to the Pantheon.
If I can find God back, I will continue to act according to God's will.
If I can’t find it in God, I will go to God to find it in my own death.”
Selron raised his sickle again, and he wanted to gather his troops to go to the Castle Gate.
Suddenly, an extremely excited voice came to Selron's ears.
That was the voice of his most trusted military advisor, Isis.
"Your Majesty! Good news! I found it! I found clues about my mother!"
boom!!
The fire in Selron's eyes suddenly lit up.
The dejection in him vanished in an instant.
"Tell me Isis, tell me everything you know!"
…
…
Holy City, City in the Clouds, Heaven.
This is the meeting hall of the angels.
A fountain of faith filled with divine light flows in circles from the top of Heaven to the surroundings, forming a semi-cylindrical curtain that envelopes Heaven.
A large glowing cloud formed a round table and a cross, standing in the middle of [Heaven].
Michael leaned against the largest cross with his eyes closed.
Next to her, Gabriel, who had just returned from the battle, also closed his eyes and leaned on the cross.
Seraph Michael.
The true god behind Erathia.
From the appearance, she is a woman.
Angels have no gender, or rather, they can show the corresponding gender as people expect.
This is also related to the statue of Michael.
The human craftsmen who created the statue of Michael used all their talents to carve out an almost perfect shape.
In order to be liked by men, women, young and old, the look ultimately leaned towards a more compassionate woman.
It is said that the human craftsman referred heavily to the statue of the goddess Assam when carving the statue of Michael.
That alone is not enough.
In today's Erathia, Queen Catherine is far more popular than Roland.
This is partly because Catherine is the legitimate royal descendant of Geffenhart.
On the other hand, the holy war commanded by Catherine has never failed, and the worst result is a draw with no win or loss.
As for Roland, he suffered a defeat that would be unforgettable to the people of Erathia.
The people of Erathia trust the queen more than the emperor.
Love the people of Erathia, and their gender preferences are ultimately reflected in their beliefs.
As a result, Michael's appearance became more feminine.
If you look closely, you can even find some of Catherine's shadow in Michael's face.
Gabriel moved his mouth twice and said:
"Michael, this is the whole story of our expedition."
There is no so-called leadership relationship between angels.
As a faith machine, Michael is not the leader of all angels, but the terminal of all angels.
The difference in strength does not create a class of rulers and the ruled among angels.
In a sense, all angels are equal.
Therefore, when high-ranking angels address each other, they often call each other by their names.
To angels, names are just numbers.
There is no difference between Michael and No.1.
Michael and Gabriel opened their eyes at the same time, and through memory transmission, Gabriel transmitted to Michael everything he had experienced in Orver.
“I already understand what happened.
Gabriel, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with your strategy and tactics.
You led our legion, destroyed 69 cities, judged 149,854 fallen ones, and exterminated 421 demons.
This is good.
The damage to the Holy Angel and its final defeat were not caused by you.
The death of the angels is not your fault."
Michael's eyes flickered, and twelve pairs of huge wings suddenly opened behind him.
There is always white holy flame surrounding Michael's wings, which is the origin of her name Seraphim.
Her calm voice spread throughout the entire Cloud City.
“Can anyone tell me why Ronis, who was supposed to appear in [Fortress of Sin], didn’t show up in time?
Can we conclude that he betrayed our Cloud City?"
"Report! Pope Ronis is waiting outside the city, requesting to enter Cloud City."
At this moment, an angel walked into [Heaven].
Michael spread his wings and said:
“Judgement, veto.
Let him wait.”
Michael stretched out her hand, and a huge force of faith gathered in front of her.
The power of faith formed a mirror, projecting the image of Ronnis.
Ronis had taken off his hood at this time, and replaced his gorgeous papal robe with a tattered navy blue priest robe.
Michael hadn't seen this outfit for a long time.
“Lord, I thank you.
You are my strength and my help. You can turn my weakness into strength and make me strong wherever I am weak.
My Lord, we need you and cannot live without you for even a moment. Only by clinging to you can I feel satisfied and at peace in my heart."
Ronis recited softly:
"Lord. I pray to be relieved of my office as Holy Angels Pontiff."
Michael's voice didn't fluctuate at all, but his tone became faster.
"I can't understand. Ronis, have you betrayed Cloud City?"
"Lord, Cloud City is everything to me. If I betray Cloud City, I am betraying myself."
Michael then asked:
"Then why didn't you rush to [Fort Sin]?"
Ronis looked calm:
“Diya has changed and it’s hard to extricate herself.
I'm not trying to make excuses, the fault is mine.
I am willing to tie myself to a cross, be burned by the holy fire, and let the griffins gnaw the flesh from my shoulder blades, day after day, year after year, until I am cleansed of my sins. "
A white flame suddenly emerged from under Ronis' feet. The flame burned Ronis' body, causing blue smoke to continuously emerge from his body.
But Ronis's expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
The holy fire went out, and Michael's voice came again:
"Judgment, your beliefs have not changed.
Ronnies, what's up Diya? "
Ronis lowered his head and said:
"host.
King Geffenhart has transformed into the undead and is gathering his army to turn Erathia into the underworld."
Geffen Hart.
Catherine's father, former King of Erathia.
At the same time, he is a demigod.
Before the Second Crusade, Geffen Hart died on the border of Chaos, and the divine fire was almost extinguished.
But his body was preserved and protected in the royal mausoleum under the [Cloud Square], and slowly reborn with the power of the Cloud City.
According to the plan, Geffen Hart should be resurrected as the Archangel of Power.
He will become an angel with the power of a demigod.
Michael's voice remained calm:
"Question: How did Geffen Hart become a ghost?"
Ronis shook his head compassionately and said:
“Shame on me, I don’t know either.
Lord.
Someone used the spirit of imprisonment to imprison Geffen Hart's divine bones and divine fire, and brought them to Diya.
Now Geffen Hart has become an undead monster filled with darkness and filth."
"Question, who stole Geffen Hart's remains?"
Michael's voice began to show emotion. Her absolutely calm divinity was rapidly declining, and her emotional humanity was taking over.
Ronis closed his eyes and said:
“It has not been clarified yet.
However, at present, all the evidence points to Geffenhart's daughter.
Catherine! "
The light of [Cloud City] is holy and brilliant.
Ronis was bathed in this light, and his shadow became longer and longer.
