Throne of Gods: The mighty power of the heavens, the holy dragon descends upon the world!

Chapter 73 Initial Actions in the Counterattack Against the Demon Race

The Azure Demon Rider, the Winged Bull Demon, and the Flame Lion Demon, Anluo Xian.

The three resident demon gods of the exorcism stages all died this year, and the autumn campaign ended ahead of schedule.

Inside the exorcism gate, Saint Moon excitedly raised her right fist.

"A great victory, a great victory!"

Joyful sounds instantly spread throughout the Exorcism Pass, and the entire pass was instantly filled with a wave of excitement.

The demon race has been around for six thousand years. Since its establishment, the Demon Exorcism Pass has been attacked by the demon race every year. Today's battle is a great victory that has not been achieved in many years!

Sheng Yue slapped Su Zhe on the shoulder, her face flushed, and she was so excited that she couldn't contain herself for a long time.

"Good lad, do you know how much benefit this battle will bring!"

Before Su Zhe could respond, Sheng Yue answered on her own.

"Not only the Demon Exorcism Pass, but also the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass, the Southeast Fortress, and other major passes will be much easier because of today's battle."

With the three great demon gods dead, the pressure of the autumn offensive in the next two years will definitely be greatly reduced, and our Assassin Temple can then free up its resources to help other temples and expand our gains.

"The six holy temples are interconnected; if one of them wins, the other five will prosper!"

Saint Moon was so excited she could hardly contain herself. You must know that even a powerful demon race would be upset for a while if three demon gods and so many troops were killed at once.

Upon hearing Sheng Yue's words, Su Zhe's mind stirred, and he spoke up.

"Great-grandfather, do you think it's possible for us to launch a counterattack against the demons?"

Counterattack?

Saint Moon was taken aback, and the excitement on her face faded.

"Are you kidding?" Saint Moon asked uncertainly.

"No, I'm asking very seriously whether we can launch a counterattack against the demons and reclaim our lost territory."

Counterattack the demons and reclaim lost territory!
Upon hearing these eight words, Sheng Yue's breath hitched, followed by heavy panting, as if recalling the grand occasion of that moment.

But compared to that beautiful but fleeting illusion, the power of the demon race was much clearer in Saint Moon's mind.

“Su Zhe, for six thousand years, our human race has been weak. Let alone a counterattack, if it weren’t for the six major passes, it would be hard to say whether we could even hold onto the remaining territory.”

Saint Moon's deep voice rang out, revealing a sense of helplessness.

That's right, the human race is weak, occupying less than a quarter of the entire Holy Demon Continent.

Six thousand years of isolation in a remote corner have even made people today forget what lies on the other side of the continent.

"But before today, did my great-grandfather ever consider taking the initiative to attack and wipe out the three demon gods and their 100,000-strong army?"

Saint Moon remained silent, but the emotion of revenge in her eyes grew stronger little by little.

Saint Moon has lived for many, many years. Over the years, he has witnessed the brutality of the demons, the humility of humans, and even the deaths of his family members at the hands of the demons.

It's a lie to say they don't want to counterattack; if there really is a chance, Saint Moon will definitely be the first to charge.

"If only you had become a divine seal by now."

After a long while, Sheng Yue suddenly sighed.

"If Cai'er had become the true Saintess of Reincarnation, and you had become the strongest Divine Knight of our time, we might have actually been able to launch a counterattack against the Demon Clan. It's just a pity..."

Saint Moon sighed deeply and turned to leave.

"I will soon reach the ninth rank."

When Su Zhe spoke, Sheng Yue paused, overwhelmed by indescribable emotions.

"Do whatever you want, the Assassin's Temple will always support you."

After saying that, Sheng Yue left, but Su Zhe's face showed a look of wild joy.

Counterattacking the Demon Race was an idea Su Zhe had held for many years. Now, having reached the eighth rank and become even stronger, this idea surged into his mind with even greater intensity. However, the counterattack against the Demon Race could not be accomplished by Su Zhe alone; he needed the support of many more people.

Six thousand years of oppression have deeply ingrained the idea of ​​human weakness in everyone's heart, and it is not easy to achieve this.

But the support that Saint Moon just mentioned clearly represents the entire Assassin's Temple!

Su Zhe was overjoyed and left as well.

A counterattack against the demons is not something that can be done overnight; thorough preparation is required beforehand.

For example, intelligence.

Su Zhe plans to gather intelligence first, and then take action against the demons once he reaches the ninth rank!
Afterwards, Su Zhe went to find Lin Xin and took a large pile of pills.

Enhances internal and external spiritual power, triggers a power surge, and temporarily adds various effects to attacks...

They took a huge pile of all sorts of pills, totaling several hundred.

After doing all this, Su Zhe took Cai'er away from the Exorcism Pass and arrived at the Southeast Fortress.

The Southeast Fortress is adjacent to the Demon Naryk Province.

There are two main reasons why Su Zhe chose this location.

First, the Warrior Temple has the largest number of people among the six temples. Although the combat strength of the high-level members is average, there are a lot of mid- and low-level members. Su Zhe wants to show them the possibility of recovering lost territory in order to win over the Warrior Temple.

Secondly, the Narik Province of the Demon Clan is the one that Su Zhe is most familiar with among the twenty-four provinces of the Demon Clan, and its strength is also relatively weak, making it suitable as the first target.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Zhe looked at the map in his hand and kept planning for the future.

Cai'er remained silent, diligently cultivating her skills.

The battle at Exorcism Pass made Cai'er realize her own lack of strength.

Cai'er knew that if she became stronger, the next time Su Zhe would not be backed by Sheng Yue, but by her.

Because Cai'er has become less resistant to the inheritance of the Child of Reincarnation, and is even actively accepting it.

The inheritance of the Child of Reincarnation, the world's number one talent, and the assistance of the Tower of Eternity have allowed Cai'er's strength to improve significantly every day.

Su Zhe also made rapid progress. The eighth rank is the rank with the fastest growth in spiritual power among all ranks. In just over a month, Su Zhe's spiritual power increased by several hundred points.

(The original work explicitly mentions that after the age of twenty and the eighth rank, one's strength will increase even faster; the relevant plot points are at the end of Chapter 37 and in Chapter 484 of the original work.)
Currently, Su Zhe's total spiritual power is around 31,000, and he has already firmly established himself in the eighth-tier realm.

Several days later, Su Zhe and Cai'er entered the Southeast Fortress.

At this time, the southeastern fortress was in the midst of its autumn offensive, and the entire city was filled with a somber atmosphere, making it impossible for ordinary people to even enter during this period.

Fortunately, Su Zhe possessed the Mithril Base Armor, a signature armor of the Knights' Temple, which naturally proved his identity.

"Honorable Knight of the Mithril Foundation, on behalf of the Warrior's Temple, I welcome your arrival, but we are now facing the autumn attack, so please forgive our lack of hospitality."

The person in charge of requesting entry into the Southeast Fortress through Su Zhe was a middle-aged warrior. From his tone of voice, it was clear that he was one of the few civilized people in the Warrior's Temple.

Su Zhe gave a knightly salute. "We apologize for our intrusion. May we ask if Your Highness requires any assistance?"

The middle-aged warrior smiled and waved his hand, "No need, our Warrior Temple can handle it."

Are you kidding me? All six temples will face the autumn attack. Whether they can survive depends on their own abilities. What's the point of our Warrior Temple asking a knight for help?

If word gets out, the other five great temples will laugh at us!

This shows that although the six temples share the same general direction and are nominally one family, they each have their own ideas.

Not only the Warrior Temple, but also the Knight Temple, which adheres to the Ten Codes, has them.

"If you are interested, you can go to the city wall and see how our Warrior Temple defends itself. You might get some inspiration from it."

　Dear readers, does anyone have a map of The Throne of Seal?!

　　I searched for ages but couldn't find it. If you can't find it either, I'll take a few days off and look up some plot details from the original work to create a map. There are a lot of fan art for Throne of Seals now, so it might be helpful to everyone.
