Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 312: A Shocking Plan

"To be honest, if the individual strength of ordinary humans at that time was not so weak, even if we went, we would only add undead skeletons to the other side. Otherwise, we would have been dragged along to make up the numbers."

"Instead of only strong human warriors from various professions participating in the battle."

"So this is the reason why humans have become the overlords of the medieval continent now?" Levi asked. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Almost. Although it is not the main reason, it is definitely partly related. After all, whether it was the elves, dwarves, or dragons, they all suffered heavy losses in this holy war." Saint Ego nodded.

Levi felt a little amused and sad when he was recognized.

Almost every elf in ancient times was born with the power of powerful magic. Although dwarves looked short, in terms of strength they were definitely not inferior to the Minotaur or other orcs, not to mention the dragons.

In such a horizontal comparison, ordinary humans who do not know magic and have no fighting spirit are indeed pitifully weak.

No wonder these overlords look down on it.

As a result, these forces suffered heavy losses, and because of the magic tide, they were taken advantage of by humans.

"What happened next?" Levi continued to ask, "The powerful Elf Empire, Dwarf Kingdom, Orc Kingdom, plus the Twelve Saints and the dragon, such a luxurious lineup must have won."

In fact, if they hadn't won, they wouldn't still be standing here.

"We did win, but it's definitely not what you thought. We can only consider it a pyrrhic victory." Saint Igo sighed, his eyes deep, as if he wanted to go back to the battlefield that would be engraved in his heart forever: "A hundred years ago, the entire coalition forces in the material world were almost losing ground, and the battle was very difficult."

"How is it possible?" Levi couldn't believe it.

Just by listening, you can tell how luxurious these lineups are. Each race was enough to wipe out an area at that time. They were all really tough characters.

When combined together, they complement each other's deficiencies, and it's like 1+1=3, and their power increases exponentially.

The Chimera Legion, Giant Eagle Riders, Elf Warlocks of the Elven Empire... The Ironfoot Army, Holy Warriors, various legendary weapons and semi-artifacts of the Dwarfs... The Orphin Giant Elephant Warriors, Orc Berserkers, and Kadil Warriors of the Orc Kingdom...

There are simply countless powerful legions, top warriors, plus the twelve saints of the Holy Light Church and dragons. If such a luxurious lineup was given to the lord, he would dare to say that he would be the master of the colonized world, but in the end he was still defeated, and he was defeated for a hundred years.

Levi seriously suspected that the commander of the coalition forces was a spy sent by the enemy.

"That group of fallen servants is just that powerful. Each of them is equivalent to a demigod who failed to condense his godhood, plus the Lich Kings who can turn their dead allies into undead."

"Our numbers are decreasing, while the enemy's numbers are increasing. In this tug-of-war, we can say that we have almost no advantage." Saint Igo spoke calmly. Nearly four thousand years have erased his inner emotions about this war.

"And I was cursed with the "soul stripping" by a fallen servant of God who sacrificed himself.

Use ice to sever the bond of flesh and blood, and cut off the return of the true spirit

The mercy of the old gods no longer attracts, and the seven-colored brilliance of the new temple will never accept
The body will become carrion for ravens to eat, and the name will become a sigh that dissipates on a winter night.

Struggling in the dark abyss where the moonlight cannot penetrate, wandering in the eternal void after the stars are annihilated
The curse is like cold iron piercing through the years, and there is no time for forgiveness
"

He recited it softly. Although he did not feel any magical power surge, Levi could not help but shudder just by listening to the meaning of the spell.

It is true that his physical strength is unmatched, but even one of the Twelve Saints who is blessed by the Goddess of Light and has excellent resistance to these insidious magics cannot withstand this curse. He is not confident that he can withstand it.

By that time, she will be in the state of a soul. No matter how strong her body is, she will be like a mermaid out of water and can be slaughtered by others.

"This is also why I said that my body will never wake up. This curse is planted on my true spirit and cannot be removed, making it impossible for me to find a home for my soul forever." Saint Igo sipped a cup of tea and said lightly.

"I once heard a saying that a person's body is a small boat, and the soul is the boatman. No matter who leaves the other, they will gradually fall into nothingness." Levi looked at the saint in front of him who was only left with his soul, and asked: "Then how did you survive until now with only your soul?"

Even if the opponent is a legendary or even stronger than a legendary being, as long as he has not become a god, he must follow this law.

A soul without a home will not live forever, but will instead fall into nothingness at a faster speed.

Degen has been able to survive to this day because of the nourishment of dragon crystal and the dragon soul that was made into a legendary weapon by a god himself using his great power.

"Interesting statement." Igo Saint nodded, and then asked a seemingly irrelevant question:

"Do you know the gifts that the Twelve Saints were born with?"

"I only know that it was bestowed by the Goddess of Holy Light, but I don't know what specific talents they are." Levi shook his head.

"To be precise, these talents are what we are born with, and the goddess guides them out for us," said Saint Igo.

"And my talent is that my soul will remain forever apart from my body. As long as it is separated from my body, my soul will never dissipate, no matter if there is external interference or anything else."

"absolute?"

"absolute."

“So powerful?!” The lord was finally moved at this moment.

Anything involving "absolute" or "one hundred percent"...even catching a sword with bare hands, should not be underestimated. This means that even a sword chopped down by a god can be caught by an ordinary person with bare hands.

At this level, it can no longer be explained by simple innate spells. It is more like a manifestation of "rules" and "laws". It can be said that the old scholars in the Mage Tower study magic with this as the ultimate goal.

It is the ultimate manifestation of magic.

"It's hard to say whether the curse of that fallen servant of God is a curse or a blessing for Saint Ego," Fatih interjected.

This is true immortality, almost like being a god. Although it is in the state of soul, it is enough to make countless people jealous and crazy. But obviously a saint with higher morality than the great monk does not think so. He finally showed a bitter smile on his calm face: "No, this is exactly the most vicious curse for me."

If someone else said this, His Lordship would give the other person two international hand gestures, because this is a typical Versailles gesture.

But when it came to the great saint in front of him, he just shook his head and sighed: "If it were me, I would be so happy."

He has the shortcomings and advantages that an intelligent creature should have, and naturally he also has the common problems that intelligent creatures share.

That is the fear of becoming nothingness, and everything you have disappearing between heaven and earth.

The stronger one is, the more fearful he is, and he is no exception.

So he couldn't wait to be happy about immortality. God knows how envious he was every time he heard Sophia and Ashe talking about how long the elders in the tribe lived.
I am not even a fraction of what others have.

"Let's get back to the topic. How did you turn defeat into victory in the next ten years?" The lord moved his butt and brought the topic back to the topic that had strayed from the subject.

"This involves three aspects in total. One is the artifact Ephisophon Sword bestowed by the goddess, one is the talents of the other two saints, and the last is the Holy Light Trial."

"Let me talk about the Holy Light Trial first, because it is related to the method of advancing to Legend. Whether in ancient times or now, the advancement to Legend is an improvement in the entire rank from soul to body, which is equivalent to breaking through the mundane boundaries. This is why once promoted to Legend, no matter what race, the lifespan will break through the limit and reach a new height."

"Each faction has a different way of becoming a legend. A favorite of the gods like a dragon can become a legend just by sleeping and having some opportunities."

"And the way our Holy Light Church promotes to Legendary is the Holy Light Trial. The strong ones who have reached the epic level will go to the 'New World' belonging to the Holy Light Church to complete the promotion ceremony and finally become Legendary strongmen."

"The reason why the Holy Light Trial and the reversal of defeat can be linked is that the new world used by the Holy Light Church for trials is an absolutely magic-free world!"

"Whether it's holy light, magic, or other elemental powers, none of them can be used."

"And then what?" Levi seemed to have vaguely glimpsed the birth of a shocking plan.

"The Sword of Ephisophon prohibits the use of space magic within a certain range, which just covers the entire new world. The other two saints' talents are cross-dimensional teleportation and knowing true names."

"To teleport across locations, you only need to know the other person's real name. Even if it's a god, you can teleport them to a predetermined location. If you know the real name, you can definitely know everyone's real name."

The Lord had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but he was just one step short of the finishing touch. He asked, "The talents of the two Saints are not unlimited, right?"

"That's right. Every time you use it, it will consume a huge amount of magic power, and it may even increase several times depending on the strength of the enemy."

"But when the entire material world is about to fall into the hands of chaotic evil creatures because of our stupidity, every strong person who has voted in favor has a responsibility! There is no time to hesitate anymore." Saint Ego said forcefully, and at the same time he regretted his past stupidity.

If they had known that there would be such a brutal war later, I am afraid that the strong men at that time would rather choose to become mortals and live an ordinary life.

"All the powerful people who voted in favor sacrificed their own magic power and released unimaginable magic power to the two saints."

"Our plan was successful. All the fallen servants of God, Undead Knights, Undead Dragons, Lich Kings, and even the most ordinary undead whose true names were known were collectively teleported to a new world without magic by the largest-scale teleportation magic in history."

Saint Igo's voice was like a sailboat sailing on a rough sea. Every crash of the waves and every rise and fall made people shudder. "Without the support of magic, the undead is just an ordinary skeleton. Without the magic that the fallen servants rely on to survive, they are just guys that can be knocked down by any paladin."

"Coupled with the spatial restriction of the Ephisophon Sword, they have no way of leaving this world. They can only watch helplessly as the irrecoverable magic power in their bodies is gradually consumed and finally reduced to dry bones."

"All this is truly shocking." Even the Lord of Gaoya Castle, who had seen many storms, could not help but sigh.

This is a grand undertaking that can only be accomplished by all the powerful people in the world. The right time, right place and right people are all indispensable.

But the effect is also significant. It directly and permanently solves the problem of these evil creatures that can destroy a world.

"After the war ended, the few survivors thought that this so-called holy war was caused by their own stupidity and were ashamed to record it in history. This is why the world is now ignorant of this period of history and why research on the portal is forbidden."

"People eat when they are hungry and drink water when they are thirsty. In my opinion, it is nothing. It is all for survival. I just didn't expect that fate would be so bad." Levi shook his head.

To be fair, no one can be blamed for this war.

I can only say that it was bad luck. Who would have thought that the new world we found was fine just a moment ago, but was occupied by the fallen servants of the gods and the undead just after the portal was established.

"Maybe." Igo Saint shook his head.

"Please continue." As a bystander, Levi really didn't want to continue commenting on this heavy history.

"After the holy war, the top warriors in the material world died or were injured, and the other races that participated in the war were also seriously injured and suffered heavy losses. But the war was won after all. They went to a world without undead and closed the portal. Those who did not want to leave their homeland returned to their hometown to recuperate."

"The seven surviving members of the Twelve Saints remain in our homeland. In order to deal with the villains imprisoned in the new world without magic and completely destroy these hidden threats, we used ourselves as a reference, and with the help of the goddess, we created the "Holy Word Treasure Book". This is the only atonement we can make for this world."

"Is this why the main effect of the "Book of Holy Words" is to enhance physical strength?" The lord knocked on the table, looking thoughtful.

“Yes, although magic and divine arts cannot be used in a world without magic, the strength of one’s own body is not restricted.” Saint Igo smiled.

"Paladins who have practiced the "Book of Holy Words" can definitely easily deal with the fallen servants of God who have lost their divine magic."

"Everything went smoothly at first. The Paladins were able to conduct the Trial of Holy Light while dealing with these fallen servants of God."

"Even if the magic power of the material world is completely reduced to nothingness, the paladins with the "Holy Word Book" will not be affected too much and will still have strong strength. Fighting spirit also emerged at this time. It can be said that it is an era of flourishing."

Igo Saint looked at Levi and sighed: "But the accident happened..."
