A different world game? A different world game!
Chapter 584 Choice
Alicia stood aside, quietly watching the archbishops, saints, and saints discuss at the conference table.
There were only a dozen or so members gathered around the round table, but without exception, all were Legendary-level experts. This was the profound heritage of the Holy Light Church. With over a dozen Legendary experts, it was a force that was rare in the entire world.
What's truly gratifying is that, at this moment in time, most of the legendary figures within the Church of Holy Light are willing to step forward and take concrete action, rather than lurking behind the scenes, waiting for an opportunity to escape or plotting a way out. This is truly commendable.
As Alicia observed, the discussions gradually died down.
The Pope looked at Alicia and said, "Come on, child, it's your turn."
Alicia nodded and slowly walked to the Pope's side, facing everyone present.
As one of the youngest saints ever, everyone present knew Alicia.
"You're almost reaching a bottleneck, and so is Anita... Is this the blessing of the Night's Watch?" An archbishop who rarely interacted with the Night's Watch looked at Alicia and whispered to himself.
The information obtained from intelligence and the actual situation witnessed with one's own eyes were completely different. Especially since this happened to someone I once knew well.
As the youngest Saint, Alicia naturally possessed exceptional talent. Within the Church of Holy Light, it was believed that under normal development, Alicia would only need about twenty years to reach the legendary realm.
Don't underestimate these twenty years; it's already incredibly fast, and to describe her as a gifted individual is no exaggeration. However, no one could have imagined that in less than a decade, Alicia's power would have reached a plateau.
"It seems that it won't be long before you can have a seat at this round table." The Holy Blade Saint, who knew the Night Watch best among everyone, said with a smile.
"You're too kind. My understanding of the Holy Light is not yet deep enough." Alicia responded modestly, and her words were not a compliment.
"Tell me, why are you here?" the Pope said in a calm tone.
Alicia nodded, her eyes sweeping across the table as she spoke slowly, "I came here hoping the Church and the Night's Watch could form a deep alliance, working together to eliminate the hidden dangers on the Lebian continent."
This statement did not surprise everyone. As soon as Alicia arrived, everyone had guessed her purpose.
An elderly archbishop said, "Our current level of cooperation with the Night's Watch has surpassed any previous level."
Another saint echoed, "That's right. Furthermore, a deep alliance would mean abandoning the Church of Light's principle of neutrality. Our goal is to serve as a bridge connecting various nations and strive to maintain world peace. If we deeply collaborate with the Night's Watch, I'm afraid this will be difficult to achieve."
"The Night's Watch has grown rapidly, far exceeding our expectations. But they have grown too quickly, and some of their actions have been too radical. The world is becoming increasingly fragile, and we must think carefully about every step we take." This person's views were recognized by many people, and they nodded.
There was no doubt that the Night's Watch was a rising force, and the Church of Light was one of the first to recognize the potential of the Night's Watch.
Initially, due to some fortuitous circumstances, the Church of the Holy Light offered some assistance, even prompting the local Church of the Holy Light in the Kingdom of Korn to break away from the main body and closely integrate with the Night's Watch. This, it must be said, demonstrates the Church of the Holy Light's heritage and vision, as well as their unwavering resolve to uphold the Holy Light and maintain peace.
However, after the Blood Plague, the Night's Watch's growth completely exceeded expectations. In just a few years, it rapidly rose to become a massive force, leaving many nations and factions unable to react. This was especially true for the powers of other continents; when they first heard of the Night's Watch, they were already quite powerful.
In the early days, the Night's Watch's only shortcoming was the scarcity of its legendary class's combat effectiveness, which was disproportionate to its overall power. A few hundred years ago, this would have undoubtedly been a disaster for the Night's Watch.
The blessings bestowed upon the Night's Watch were something everyone secretly coveted. Even the Church of the Holy Light couldn't help but feel curious, and it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.
After all, the backbone of a force is always the middle class, and according to the latest intelligence, the overall strength of the Night's Watch has almost reached its limit, which is really puzzling.
During this special period, most legendary masters hid behind the scenes and acted extremely cautiously. However, the Night's Watch seized this rare opportunity for development.
Initially, the Church of the Holy Light provided assistance to the Night's Watch because the Night's Watch's style of doing things shared similarities with their own philosophy, making the church feel that it was not alone in this critical moment of the end of the world.
But the result was that the Night's Watch took a completely different path from their own.
The Night's Watch has absolutely no intention of remaining neutral. Like a powerful and expanding national power, it makes no secret of its conflicts with other national powers. It is ruthless in occupying some strategic locations and is extremely adept at using all kinds of tough measures and political tactics.
For example, in the conflict with the Empire, they did not hesitate to annex two cities of the Free City Alliance in order to fight against the Empire; in their actions on the Lebian continent, they did not hide their ambitions for the entire continent, but they were indeed doing many things that others could not do.
More importantly, the Night's Watch made no secret of their dislike for the nobility and the ruling class.
Although the Church of Holy Light was more or less dissatisfied with these nobles, it always maintained a cooperative relationship with them because influencing these nobles, and thus influencing regional governance and national policies, was the most convenient and effective way.
"I believe that you all understand the urgency of time and what we should do most as the end of the world is approaching. Under such circumstances, can everything we, the Night's Watch, do do really be considered radical?" Alicia asked, looking at everyone present sincerely.
To be honest, there are many radicals in the Holy Light Church, otherwise the Holy Light Church of the Kingdom of Cohen would not have separated from the main body.
Alicia continued, "I believe you all understand the immense threat posed by the Void. In the face of the Void, all other problems are merely minor ailments before death."
The path we Night's Watch have taken, you all must have seen clearly. Only this path can withstand that fatal crisis. The other options are nothing but cowardly escape and shameful betrayal.
If you truly uphold the ideals and will of the Holy Light, then isn't the goal of the Night's Watch our common pursuit?"
The meaning of these words was clear. Those present were all legendary and powerful members of the Holy Light Church, and at this stage, they were still actively striving to achieve their goals. Naturally, they understood immediately. (End of this chapter)
