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

Chapter 74 The Astute Cai'er, the Anomalies in Narik Province
“Of course I’m interested. Please lead the way, senior,” Su Zhe said.

Although Su Zhe had some understanding of the Warrior Temple's strength, it was mostly based on fragmented information from the original work. The Demon Clan's Autumn Attack was the ultimate opportunity to test the strength of a temple.

Su Zhe was naturally happy to have such an opportunity.

The middle-aged soldier nodded with a smile and led Su Zhe and Cai'er all the way to the command post at the front line.

After being informed and questioned, the middle-aged soldier led the two men into the command post.

"You must be Su Zhe. You are indeed a handsome man. I've heard Long Tianyin talk about you all the time."

A middle-aged man of unremarkable appearance said with a smile.

"This is Qiu Yonghao, the Temple Master of our Warriors' Temple," a middle-aged soldier whispered to him.

Su Zhe bowed and spoke humbly.

"You flatter me, senior. I am just an ordinary knight from the Knights' Temple."

Qiu Yonghao waved his hand, "You Knights Temple like to play the humble card. If you're capable, you're capable. There's no need to belittle yourself."

As he spoke, Qiu Yonghao called Su Zhe to the front and pointed to the city wall in the distance, asking him a question.

"How do you see the defenses of our Warrior Temple?"

Below, countless warriors were fighting fiercely, relying on sheer numbers and high morale to hold off the demon army on the city walls.

However, their equipment level is slightly lower than that of the Knights Temple.

"The warriors fought bravely, and there were countless outstanding ones. It is indeed the temple with the largest number of people among the six temples."

Hearing Su Zhe's obviously polite words, Qiu Yonghao sighed helplessly.

Our own temple knows this well; putting everything else aside, our equipment is far behind that of other temples.

During each Temple Tournament, the Knight Temple always presents the Throne of Gods, with a complete set of epic-grade adamantite bases.

In contrast, the Warrior's Temple only has five epic-level equipment pieces. In top-level competitions like the Temple Tournament, some people even wear legendary-level equipment.

(This isn't something I made up; you can check the original novel, the Temple Tournament, where it's explicitly mentioned.)
Qiu Yonghao sighed, and Su Zhe silently put away the legendary Blood Bloom in his hand.

"It's a pity that the Demon Clan is too powerful. If our Warrior Temple could have more territory, we could also have more resources to cultivate geniuses."

Su Zhe's mind raced.

"Palace Master Qiu, if there were a chance to reclaim lost territory, would you want it?"

Qiu Yonghao's eyes lit up. "Go ahead and speak!"

Su Zhe shared his thoughts, and Qiu Yonghao fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, Qiu Yonghao finally spoke: "I don't need to say much about the strength of the Demon Clan. There are several Demon Gods stationed in Narik Province alone. There are too many things to consider if we want to reclaim our lost territory."

"To reclaim it, we must establish a firm foothold before the Demon Emperor can react, and we also need formidable defenses like the six major passes. Achieving these two things is as difficult as ascending to heaven!" Qiu Yonghao said.

At the same time, the high-ranking members of the Warrior Temple behind Qiu Yonghao also spoke up.

"That's right. Putting everything else aside, the Demon Clan's autumn attack alone has put a lot of pressure on the six holy temples. If they were to break into the Demon Clan's territory, who knows how much power they would need."

"If only Commander Ye were still here..."

Someone mentioned the name Night Commander, and everyone present paused for a moment. A trace of sadness appeared in Qiu Yonghao's eyes.

"If Commander Ye were still alive, he might really be able to launch a counterattack against the Demon Clan," one person sighed.

The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, and Qiu Yonghao looked at Su Zhe.

"If such an opportunity truly arises, our Warrior Temple will certainly be willing to give it a shot!" Qiu Yonghao said sincerely.

Su Zhe nodded. It seemed he had underestimated the determination of the six great temples to reclaim their lost territory. Although they all believed that humanity was somewhat lacking in strength, they still possessed courage.

"In that case, Lord Qiu, just wait for my news. Within five years, I will definitely take over Narik Province!"

After saying that, Su Zhe took Cai'er and Qiu Yonghao and said goodbye.

After the two left, a murmur of discussion rose up uncontrollably.

"Palace Master, I've heard of Su Zhe. During this autumn offensive, he killed the Azure Demon Rider and the Winged Bull Mad Demon, but that doesn't mean he can launch a counterattack against the Demon Clan."

"Yes, even if we achieve divine seal in the future, what then? An individual's power is still too insignificant."

Hearing the voices of the crowd, Qiu Yonghao frowned deeply.

"What if he could reach the level of Night Commander?" Qiu Yonghao suddenly asked.

Everyone was stunned, and then someone asked incredulously.

"Everyone knows about Ye Shuai's talent, but Su Zhe... can he really do it?"

"It's always good to have more hope. Six thousand years of humiliation should not extinguish the fighting spirit of our soldiers!"

Qiu Yonghao's words prompted everyone to ponder.

Meanwhile, Su Zhe led Cai'er out of the city from a corner, bypassing the demon army, and headed straight for Narik Province.

The demon god residing in Narik Province is named Vak, the sixty-second pillar warhorse demon god, with peak eighth-tier strength.

(This is an original anime/manga story. Because the novel's demons were incomplete, the anime supplemented them, so some anime/manga settings were incorporated later.)
There were also Su Zhe's old acquaintances: the Beast Demon Clan, the Mad Demon Clan, and the Xichang Clan.

In just the small province of Narik, there are several eighth-tier high-level combatants, and after Vark's transformation into a demon god, he still has ninth-tier combat power. No wonder the human race has been unable to launch a counterattack.

Wearing the familiar black cloaks, Su Zhe and Cai'er entered the capital of Narik Province.

The traces of the battle between the Mad Demon and the Beast Demon five years ago are still there. It's normal that the demons are not good at farming, weaving, and forging, so they don't know how to repair cities.

During his visit, Su Zhe carefully observed the various defenses and weak points of the city wall, memorizing them one by one.

"Brother Su Zhe, there seem to be several terrifying auras in this city," Cai'er said softly, tugging at Su Zhe's sleeve.

A terrifying aura?

Su Zhe frowned. He hadn't even sensed it. Was Cai'er's perception accurate?
“I have the inheritance of the Child of Reincarnation, so my perception of the demon race is stronger. One of my auras is wild and violent, comparable to the Azure Demon Knight, and very much like the Warhorse Demon God, Vak.”

"The other two are slightly weaker, while the other is much stronger, probably already at the ninth level."

Upon hearing Cai'er's words, Su Zhe frowned.

Logically speaking, the capital of Narik province should only have one demon god in charge of guarding it. What's the deal with the other two?

Something unusual must be going on. Su Zhe put Cai'er into the Eternal Tower and released Holy Guard Number Ten, who was wearing a gray-black cloak.

"Go to the city center and check the situation. Let me know immediately if anything is amiss."

Saint Guard No. 10 nodded slightly without making a sound, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

Su Zhe found a place to hide and waited for news from Saint Guard 10.

In his lifetime, Saint Guard Number Ten was a powerful ninth-tier assassin with extensive experience, and he was most skilled at reconnaissance and assassination.

Several hours passed, and Su Zhe opened his slightly closed eyes. Saint Guard Twelve was already standing beside Su Zhe without him noticing...

　I'm recommending a friend's book. The author just finished her college entrance exams; she's a fair-skinned and beautiful girl. Unfortunately, the book flopped. I took a look, and while the writing isn't great, it's not unreadable. Could you all support this new author? It's so sad for her; the book is almost 80,000 words long and only has 150 favorites. Please help me add it to your favorites and keep reading!
