Chapter 480: Openly Declared War, and the World Was in Chaos
Dave cursed furiously after hearing Catherine recounting Ramirez’s words, “Is he trying to declare war against us? Is he using the lives of the elves as a bargaining chip? That b*stard!”
Vincent frowned and said in a deep voice, “It seems that Ramirez is afraid of the combined strength between Justin and me. He doesn’t dare to fight us head on so he can only use the Dark Elves to deal with us. We can’t let them succeed!”
Dave nodded and quickly asked, “What are you going to do?”
Vincent thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait and see if we have any news from Guru Harson! If we can get the city lords of the surrounding cities to agree to go to Bright Moon City, we can use the influence of these city lords to show them the truth about the Demon Race! If everything goes well, we can use the persuasive city lords to send messages to the entire elf world and make them change their beliefs. This will be a very long and difficult war but we must make sure that we maintain the stalemate with Ramirez!”
Dave looked worried as he listened to Vincent.
“The problem now is that Ramirez can issue divine orders to all the Dark Elves at any time and place. No matter how hard we try, we can’t be faster than Ramirez. When that happens, if he denies that Bright Moon City’s fate is related to the demons, he will turn the tables against us. What can we do then? When that happens, we won’t even have a chance to defend ourselves!”
Dave analyzed the current situation carefully. The more he analyzed, the more terrified he became. This was because he realized that he and the others were once again at a disadvantage and were completely restricted by Ramirez.
When Vincent heard that, he smiled and said calmly, “What you’re worried about is a troublesome matter. However, you don’t have to worry too much because we still have a helper. As long as he succeeds, everything that the demons have done will become redundant!”
After hearing that, Dave could not help but ask curiously, “Who?”
Vincent said mysteriously, “A frustrated person who is prepared to redeem himself. He is looking for evidence that the twelve apostles have seized the Origin Divine Earth. As long as he can prove that every apostle is collecting the Origin Divine Earth for the Dark Elves, then the Dark Elves will not be able to defend themselves and unable to pin these things on us!”
Dave said with a face full of joy, “That’s great! If we can prove the crimes of every apostle, then we have a very high chance of persuading all the Dark Elves to turn back!”
Vincent nodded and said, “We must stay calm for now and wait for the critical moment to counterattack in the land of extremists! Devil Flame City had already made preparations to deal with the situation but they still did not know how the preparations were going at Serene Spring City. Did they also learn about this news? “Looks like we should make another trip to Serene Spring City!”
At that moment, a space door opened in the ceremonial hall. Monica came out of the door, volunteered, and said, “I’ll go!”
Following closely behind Monica was Avril, who had personally taught her how to use the power of modification. After the two of them entered the space tunnel, they wandered aimlessly before actually running to the City Lord’s residence.
Avril initially opened a space door and brought Monica along to eavesdrop on the conversation between Vincent and Dave. When she heard that they were about to send people to net the entire serene spring city, Monica volunteered to step forward.
Vincent and Dave were both stunned but they immediately nodded in agreement.
They overlooked how Monica appeared in the meeting hall and thought that Monica was the most suitable candidate to go to Serene Spring City. That was because she was the High Priest that was well acknowledged by Vincent. No one could represent the gods better than her!
Dave nodded and said, “Monica is indeed the best candidate to go to Serene Spring City. The believers over there have yet to be taught. They urgently need a professional High Priest to lead them out of the fog!”
Vincent quickly added, “But as a High Priest, it’s better not to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations. Especially in such an important place like the meeting hall of the City Lord. How can I let you guys mess around like this!”
Monica heard Vincent’s slightly reprimanding tone and immediately lowered her head in fear. She acted like a child who had made a mistake. She did not dare to speak another word.
However, Avril was not afraid of Vincent losing his temper. She walked toward her and placed her hand on Monica’s shoulder. She smiled and said, “Alright, we understand. We will be careful next time!”
Vincent did not pursue the matter any further with Avril. He just helplessly shook his head and said, “Make sure it doesn’t happen again!”
Catherine, who had been standing in front of the door, noticed Monica’s magical ability. She had made a mistake letting her be guided by Avril. Based on the way Vincent talked to her, she seemed to have a very noble status. At the very least, she may be seen as being on the same level as Dave. At that moment, she had mixed feelings about the matter.
After recalling the situation, Monica was only a little girl on the fifth floor of Hell’s Rose. It was Dave who pleaded with Catherine before giving her to Vincent as a maid.
In the end, Monica followed Vincent when he was at the peak of his strength!
Monica was also the High Priest of the Devil Flame City. If she were to go to Serene Spring City to spread the ideology, she would become the High Priest of two cities. Her status might even surpass that of the City Lord!
When Catherine thought about it, she felt a little displeased. It was not because of the difference in status between her and Monica but the difference in status between her and Dave.
Dave, who had once helped Monica get to know Vincent, would have a lower status than Monica. Catherine could not accept that.
Catherine thought to herself that fortunately, Dave was about to advance and become a god. Then, he would be at the same level as Vincent.
She then looked at Dave and asked with anticipation, “Aren’t you preparing to become a God? Have you succeeded?”
After hearing that, the corner of Dave’s lips twitched violently. He covered his forehead and said with a painful expression, “I failed!”
Catherine asked in denial, “Why?”
Dave turned and looked at Vincent. He sighed helplessly and said, “Because I don’t have a divine spark that suits me. I can’t become a god for the time being.”
Vincent did not want to mention his earlier mistake at that moment. He turned to Monica and said, “Time is of the essence. Let’s begin the journey!”
Monica asked in surprise, “Are we going together?”
Vincent nodded and said, “Serene Spring City has just experienced a great battle. I want to go over and have a look personally. I’ll also tell everyone about the selection of the god. I can’t be biased and select all the gods from the Devil Flame City!”
Monica nodded and kept quiet. No one could tell whether she was disappointed.
In her heart, the response she wanted to hear was that Vincent wanted to escort her because he was worried about her.
However, if Vincent were to give such a response, he would not be the same god that Monica knew.
After hearing that, Avril smiled and said, “I initially wanted to send Monica to Serene Spring City. Since you’re going, then I will stay behind and rest!”
Vincent quickly responded to Avril, “You can’t rest yet. Harson still needs you and Angelina’s support. When there is someone who is willing to go to the ruins of Bright Moon City, I need you to open the space tunnel and take them underground to take a look!”
Avril could not help but roll her eyes and sighed. She said, “I knew it would not be so easy to settle down. I will go back and inform Angelina!”
After saying that, Ariel opened the space door and disappeared.
Vincent turned to Dave and said, “I’ll leave everything here to you. If there’s any trouble that you can’t resolve, let the believers in the city pray to me. I’ll rush over at the first possible moment!”
Dave nodded in agreement and said, “Don’t worry about it!”
Vincent turned and waved to Monica. He then waved his hand again and opened a space door.
Monica walked toward him nervously. After nodding to Dave and Catherine, she followed behind Vincent and disappeared from the meeting hall.
The entire hall was completely silent. Catherine sighed faintly and said, “Who would still think of you as the City Lord? If you don’t become a god, your position will be at risk!”
Dave turned to look at Catherine. He said with some displeasure, “What about my position? I am the City Lord of Devil Flame City, Vincent is the god of the Elf race, Monica is the High Priest and Master Avril is not even an elf. Why do I need to care about my position with them?”
Catherine noticed that Dave was a little unhappy so she said with an aggrieved look, “I don’t want to instigate anything bad about your relationships with them. It’s just that you have sacrificed a lot for the Elf Race. You deserve to have a higher position, not just the one you have now!”
Dave shook his head and said in a deep voice “What have I done? It’s nothing more than what a City Lord would do. Can this be counted as merit worth showing off? I just want to be a City Lord at the moment and help the Elf Race!”
Dave’s injury flared up after being agitated. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, he wobbled and was about to fall.
Catherine quickly supported Dave and said with a worried look on her face, “Alright, I understand now. I won’t talk about this with you anymore. Why are you so heavily injured?”
Dave sighed and responded with a melancholic look on his face, “It was all for the sake of becoming a god. I was heavily injured as a result. Please help me to get some rest!”
In Serene Spring City, Melissa sat high up in the study room of the City Lord’s mansion. She listened to Sophia, who was standing in front of her, reciting the oracle of Ramirez. Her face gradually turned ashen.
Melissa slammed the table heavily and shouted, “D*mn the demons, they actually want to instigate internal conflicts among the elves. Is he trying to bring the elves to the brink of destruction?”
Sophia quickly smiled and said, “I think this is actually your chance!”
