Chapter 472: Shattering the Cornerstone of God Mountain
Josephine frowned slightly.
Judging solely from the forces and legion composition revealed so far, the national strength of Olympian God Mountain surpassed that of the Council of the Dark Order by far more than a mere margin.
The ease with which they could dispatch ten Divine Oracles was more than enough to reveal the depth of their foundations.
Olympian God Mountain must possess a considerable number of Divine Oracles!
With nearly five hundred thousand Sage King–rank troops and several million God King–realm legions, the disparity was stark.
In comparison, the Dark Council had only one thousand Order Legions and ten thousand Legions of Dark Enforcers—an overwhelming gap.
There was no doubt that a force as powerful as God Mountain was certainly guarded by existences at the Sage Lord realm!
Lucio, Philip, and the others fell into contemplation.
After a moment, Lucio asked,
“What about the strength of the God Mountain Imperial Guard?”
Pippin was taken aback.
The Prologue Sage, the Lord of Sacred Light, and the others cast Lucio a complicated look.
They had not even clashed with the Automaton Legion yet, and he was already setting his sights on the opponent’s strongest trump card?
The three Divine Oracles of the Ossuary Court also turned their attention to Lucio.
Lucio noticed their gazes but remained perfectly calm.
Since the Automaton Legion had come, could it really return unscathed?
If it could not return, how could the God Mountain Imperial Guard possibly sit idly by?
Since there was a chance the Imperial Guard might intervene, what was wrong with learning about them in advance?
To win a war, one naturally had to know both oneself and the enemy!
Josephine, Fiona, and Belinda watched in silence, an indescribable sense of pride surging in their hearts.
This was the bearing and the vision of the Crossbridge Empire!
Pippin replied,
“The God Mountain Imperial Guard is one of the strongest legions in the Radiant God Realm. It is rumored that the entry threshold alone is Sacred Radiance rank.”
“As for the specifics, even within Olympian God Mountain they are classified at the highest level. Very few people know the details.”
“In terms of numbers, during a previous conflict with the Frostwinter Realm, five thousand of them were once deployed.”
“It seems the foundations of Olympian God Mountain far surpass those of the Council of the Dark Order.”
The Lord of Sacred Light let out a quiet sigh.
Even Holst, Nornid, and Kemmons—the three Divine Oracles of the Ossuary Court—revealed looks of astonishment.
Although their exact strength was impossible to ascertain, these outward signs alone made it clear that the opponent was anything but simple.
Philip smiled and said,
“Since Olympian God Mountain has sent out so many elites, it’s obvious they want to wipe us out in one stroke. In that case, why don’t we set a trap and swallow them whole?”
“You mean…?”
Pippin caught the implication and asked,
“Lure the Automaton Legion and the others into Unar Province?”
Philip nodded.
“Exactly—draw the enemy deep in and devour them in one decisive blow.”
“They dare to send their elites; then we’ll crush those elites!”
“Olympian God Mountain has yet to figure out our true strength and deployment.”
“This time, one hundred million God King–realm legions are already in position. They can be secretly deployed across Unar Province and Starreach Province to form a massive encirclement.”
“General Pippin will be responsible for drawing the enemy in. You must lure their main force into the designated area and ensure they never return.”
“The higher they’re lifted, the harder they fall.”
“Since they are the cornerstone of God Mountain, we’ll smash that cornerstone and let the entire Radiant God Realm witness it!”
…
Philip’s voice rang with steel and confidence.
Never compete with the Crossbridge Empire in legion numbers or quality.
Although he did not know what method His Majesty Aurek had used to continuously nurture such terrifying legions, he knew one thing—
These were God King–realm legions!
And perhaps, before long, Sage King–rank legions would follow!
Even if not for the moment, one hundred million God King–realm Void Warlocks and Soul Warlocks were more than enough to form an overwhelming force.
In the Abyssal Demon Realm, he had personally witnessed Order Legions of the same Sage King rank being annihilated the instant they entered the battlefield.
That scene was still vivid in his mind!
As for how to lure the enemy deep inside, Pippin, as an imperial general, needed no reminders.
And those ten Divine Oracles—
On the Empire’s side, there was a quasi–Sage Lord and three Divine Oracles from the Ossuary Court, more than enough to contend with them.
What’s more, the quasi–Sage Lord enslaved by soul domination carried the Artifact of Authority, the Dark Blade.
One hundred million God King–realm legions!
Belinda and Fiona were deeply shaken by such a formidable deployment.
Fiona looked toward her father, Joshua.
Joshua nodded subtly, sighing inwardly.
Becoming an imperial consort was undoubtedly the beginning of a path of glory!
In the future, you will witness and bathe in even greater and more exalted splendor!
…
Aetherian Sanctuary, Supreme Sanctuary.
Aurek reviewed the battle reports and intelligence sent from the Radiant God Realm.
At that moment, the information panel delivered a timely notification.
[Massive enemy forces slain. Emperor Points gained: 230 trillion.]
Aurek set down the report, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had known that annexing two provinces would yield gains, but he had not expected them to be so immense—nearly half of what he had obtained from annihilating the Council of the Dark Order.
What he did not yet know was that when Elizabeth resolved the grudges of the Chaotic Realm, she had employed extremely ruthless measures.
The people of the Skywing Kingdom, the Darkfang Empire, and the Scions of the Sacred Dragon had been exterminated to the last!
Although this action was excessively extreme, it had also brought in a vast amount of Emperor Points.
Combined with the enormous Emperor Points accumulated earlier, while it was still insufficient to raise the authority of the Soul Warlock and Void Warlock to level 19, it was enough to elevate the authorities of the other summoned troop types to level 19.
With this thought, Aurek turned his attention to the authorities of the Doomsday Warrior and the Titan, deciding to upgrade them first.
[Doomsday Warrior authority upgraded to Level 19.
Daily generation: 3,276,800 Level 19 Doomsday Warriors.]
[Emperor Points required for next upgrade: 2.2 quadrillion.]
[Skill unlocked: Silent Extinction Divine Light.]
[Note: Level 19 Doomsday Warriors possess combat power comparable to first-tier Sage King rank. Silent Extinction Divine Light contains the Law of Destruction, its might reaching the very origin of the laws…]
…
[Titan authority upgraded to Level 18.
Daily generation: 1,638,400 Level 18 Titans.]
[Emperor Points required for next upgrade: 72 trillion.]
[Skill unlocked: Chaotic Stillness.]
[Note: Level 18 Titans possess combat power comparable to first-tier God King realm.]
…
Upgrading the Doomsday Warrior authority to level 19 had consumed nearly 75 trillion Emperor Points!
Each day, more than three million Sage King–rank warriors would be nurtured!
No matter how great the expenditure, Aurek felt no regret at all.
Moreover, the newly unlocked skill of the Doomsday Warrior—Silent Extinction Divine Light—judging from its description, was a devastating killing ability that touched upon the very origin of the laws. Its power was terrifying.
Previously, he had hesitated over whether to prioritize upgrading the Doomsday Warrior or the Titan.
Now it seemed that his choice had not disappointed him—in fact, it had brought an unexpected surprise.
Aurek was in excellent spirits.
Three million Sage King–rank warriors per day—this was a qualitative leap.
If the outside world were to learn of this, it would surely be shocked beyond belief.
The Council of the Dark Order, hegemon of the Abyssal Demon Realm, regarded its one thousand Sage King–rank Order Legions as its greatest foundation and the core deterrent that cowed the world.
And yet, in a single day, he could nurture three thousand such Order Legions!
