He is the Lord of MC, not the God of Light!

Chapter 108. Return to Songlan City, return home in glory!

"After the defeat in the Fourth Anti-Demon War, the Demonic Abyss has been encroaching on the Rodri Continent at an increasingly rapid pace. Pessimism has long been brewing within the Hundred Races Alliance."

She ordered the elven warriors to find the guardian of the ancient tree of life. Taking advantage of this time, the elven queen also told Fishley about something she didn't know.

"And the elves, it's undeniable, have also fallen into this state, especially after the Ancient Tree of Life was affected by the forbidden spell of the King of Greed."

The Elf Queen sighed bitterly and continued:
"In a highly stressful and tense living environment, coupled with the fear of the Ancient Tree of Life being affected, everyone's emotions were completely ignited with the birth of the first...unique elf."

"Now that I think about it, maybe we were transferring our fear and irritability onto Khalifa and the others."

"They didn't do anything wrong. We were the ones who were wrong. If we hadn't been careless, how could the King of Greed have affected the Ancient Tree of Life?"

"It's just... I actually need someone to remind me of this kind of thing. I'm really remiss..."

"I am no longer qualified to be the Elf Queen."

Hearing this, Fishley became a little anxious.

He quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, please don't take it too seriously. I don't mean to blame you. You have done your duty very well."

The Elf Queen chuckled and shook her head.

"You don't have to comfort me. As a queen, you must be able to face your own mistakes."

After saying this, the place fell into a deep silence, which even made Fishley feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

She even wondered if she had said too much and irritated the Elf Queen.

Thinking about how to comfort the Elf Queen and ease the awkward atmosphere.

Before she could organize her words, the Elf Queen suddenly spoke:

"Fishley."

"I am here, Your Majesty."

"If bone meal and milk are truly effective on the Ancient Tree of Life, I hope to visit the Pope later."

Hearing this, Fishley was startled, then said with some surprise:

"Really? Your Majesty?"

"of course."

The Elf Queen smiled.

"Now that the issue of the Ancient Tree of Life has been resolved, we should naturally express our gratitude. Going there in person is the attitude I should maintain."

Fishley was stunned for a moment. From the Elf Queen's words, she seemed to realize that the Queen did not just mean that.

After thinking for a long time, Fishley's eyes lit up and she said thoughtfully:

"Then...what if the problem of the Ancient Tree of Life is not solved?"

The Elf Queen turned around and stared at Fishley.

Fishley met the Elf Queen's gaze without flinching.

After a long time, the Elf Queen smiled with relief.

"Then I also want to go meet the Pope and see the Dawn Cult. I want to see what kind of people and what kind of power they are..."

"To think that the youngest and most talented druid of our elves is so attracted to him that he even gambled his loyalty on him."

Fishley let out a long sigh and assured happily:
"Your Majesty, you will not be disappointed! The Dawn Cult will definitely make you understand what true hope is!"

The Elf Queen remained silent and turned to look at several powerful elves walking hurriedly in the distance.

The idea that had only a hint in my mind gradually grew into a lasting voice.

"Perhaps, the path to salvation for the elves lies within the Dawn Cult."

……

When Fishley was passionately fighting against the Elf Queen within the Elf tribe.

In the Principality of Birka, Markov, who led the Dawn Knights on the westward expedition, also won victory after victory.

And at this time...

The army has arrived at Songlan City.

"came back……"

Looking at the largest city in the Principality of Birka besides the royal capital, Markov's heart was filled with emotion.

As embarrassing as it was when we left here more than two months ago, our return is just as grand.

Behind him were two thousand Dawn Knights and five hundred Night Watchmen.

No one less.

Thanks to the powerful MC equipment and horses, as well as the blessing of alchemical potions.

Cooperating with the clergy who entered the city early to preach.

Since the war began, there have been successive victories. Not only have the Dawn Knights who went out to fight remained unscathed, but the Dawn Knights' reserve force has also expanded to 50,000 people.

This is because Markov and his team have already set strict requirements for the difficulty of selecting the Dawn Knights.

Not only must one have strong physical fitness, but also loyal beliefs.

Even so, Markov still underestimated the clergy of the White Pillar of the Dawn Cult.

In other words, they underestimated the power of a systematic religious belief, backed by miracles. In a land where belief in gods didn't exist, a belief in a god with a solid foundation began to snowball, unstoppable like an avalanche.

The scenery along the way either merges into the avalanche, enhancing its power, or is buried by the avalanche and disappears.

Therefore, it is normal to achieve such results in a short period of time.

……

The great victories along the way gave the Dawn Knights great momentum.

Although there may be strong people in so many cities who can pose a threat to them, they still cannot make any waves.

Advanced combat units like magicians and knights can basically not get close to the Knights of Dawn because of the Winged Tribe's sniping with instant damage.

Needless to say, the city defense army.

Thanks to the fact that Leo took away a large number of city defense troops, the defenses of these cities were already weak, and the soldiers who escaped back spread the story of defeat.

As a result, many Birka soldiers would rather face the demons than the Dawn Knights.

If the believers in the city make a commotion, let alone the city defense.

The nobles in many cities could not even gather an army to suppress the riots of the believers, and there was no telling how many Dawn believers there were among those armies.

Many nobles of the Principality of Birka were now in a panic-stricken situation, often with the Dawn Knights just attacking.

Before a proper defense could be launched, the city gates were opened by Dawn believers within the army, and some believers even spontaneously broke into the nobles' mansions and captured them.

To put it simply and crudely...

The entire Principality of Birka was in chaos.

The nobles were all in danger, and the common people were all looking forward to the dawn to liberate them.

To the extent that Markov would ask the Winged Tribe to go back and report on the great victory every now and then: the situation behind the victory was that the Dawn Knight would stand at the city gate and the gate would naturally open.

The clergy and believers of the Dawn Religion were already standing on both sides of the road, beating drums and gongs with great joy.

For example, the current Songlan City.

The gates of this former territory of the Phobos family were now wide open, and from the remaining corner of the ashes piled outside the city, it could be seen that the ashes were once the flag of the Principality of Birka.

On top of the city wall, the cross flag of the Dawn Cult has been erected.

Starting from three miles outside the city gate, many soldiers were closely lined up on both sides of the official road, standing at attention with their chests puffed out and their heads held high.

There was a bright red silk hanging on the spear.

When Markov led his troops closer, heavy and solemn trumpet sounds were sounded by soldiers on both sides.

The sound of horse hooves became more majestic under the sound of trumpets, as if welcoming the triumphant return of the royal army.

Markov gazed at the city where red flags were flying in celebration, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

More than two months ago, the Phobos family was expelled from Songlan City, where they had run the city for a lifetime.

At that time, they always said that they would return one day sooner or later.

But in fact, this is just the last thought I give myself.

But things in the world are so incredible that even Markov and the others have never thought about it.

Just two months later, the Phobos family returned home with the dawn of hope.

With the momentum of successive victories and draped in the glory of the Dawn Cult, he returned to Songlan City in a supreme manner.

This is what it means to return home in glory.

Songlan City, after all, belongs to the Phobos family, and no one can take it away!
A proud smile appeared on Markov's lips.

Gently pinch the horse's belly.

"Enter the city!"

The army of Dawn Knights was silent, with only the rumbling of orderly horse hooves.

Coupled with the increasingly passionate sound of the trumpets, this journey home in glory seems even more grand.

Among all the Dawn Knights, Markov and Harun were the most excited.

Songlan City may not be that important to the Dawn Cult, but for them, it makes up for the last bit of regret.

The army slowly arrived at the city gate and stopped in front of the crowded people of Songlan City.

The next moment, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and soon a white-haired old man stood out from the crowd.

"Believer Gale, on behalf of all the people of Songlan City, salutes the great Dawn and His Holiness the Pope! Songlan City will always firmly and eagerly await the arrival of the Dawn!"

"The dawn will last forever!"

The old man didn't dare to look up, staring at the warhorse's legs. After saying this, he knelt down respectfully on the ground.

With his forehead pressed against the ground, Gale waited for a long time, but still received no response from the Knights of the Dawn Cult.

Feeling anxious, he was wondering if there was something wrong with Songlan City, when he suddenly heard a voice that couldn't be more familiar.

"Gail... do you still recognize me?"

Gale was a little stunned. He raised his head and looked forward, and was immediately shocked by the beauty.

"Markov?!"
