Chapter 1050: A Divided Temple
Zhao Guang is experimenting with military formations, which everyone can see, as he has not kept it a secret.
However, no one knows that the military formation has already undergone a qualitative transformation, which will only be seen once it hits the battlefield.
Moreover, Zhao Guang's army on this continent will basically not be going to war anymore. Because given the current situation, practically no one will challenge him, at least not the surrounding forces.
No one can know that Zhao Guang has designed a military formation that can confront a Legend.
If people knew from the start, many would likely unite to deal with him.
But once such formations become numerous, others can only watch helplessly, worrying whether Zhao Guang will attack them. Currently, people mostly know that Zhao Guang has transformed his military formation into the shape of a giant dragon.
Military formations of the giant dragon type undoubtedly have more power than typical Magic Beast formations.
After some time, there was a bountiful harvest, and Zhao Guang attended the Harvest Day event.
He remembered the first time he participated in Harvest Day, it was when he received a title and was conferred by the King.
At that time, he was a minor figure, but now he has become a King. Of course, his country doesn't have a nobility system, so there's no need for conferring titles; everyone only has military ranks, specific positions, and personal levels.
In summary, it's more complicated than other countries but also more practical.
Afterwards, Zhao Guang began sending people to sell grain to the Borick Continent. There's no choice; there's too much, and it can't all be consumed here, even with strong demand from the Beastmen.
Indeed, Beastmen, alongside changing their lifestyle habits, have begun to increase their survival rates continuously.
Because their population is growing too fast, their internal model hasn't caught up, leading to a shortage of food.
Some Beastmen have even come to Xuanwu Kingdom, becoming citizens of Xuanwu Kingdom.
The Beastmen had no choice; they can't sustain so many people by themselves now. Plus, there's an advantage to this, which is increasing the proportion of Beastmen in the Xuanwu Kingdom, thereby amplifying their own voice.
At the very least, Zhao Guang must not become hostile to them, surely they couldn't just stand by and watch as the opposite side consisted entirely of Humans and Rabbitfolk.
You should know that, although Rabbitfolk originate from Beastmen, they don't have a good perception of the Beastman Empire.
Peaceful days passed, Zhao Guang occasionally visited Earth, but otherwise, there were no other matters.
On this day, suddenly Sephidya found Zhao Guang and laid a file in front of him.
"Master, our Magic Node was attacked by someone, but it wasn't ours; it was built to help other territories." Zhao Guang looked at the document, feeling curious.
"Why have you come, where is Xi Fei?" These matters had always been Xi Fei's concern.
"Xi Fei went into retreat, seeming to reach a critical point, so I'm temporarily handling things."
The main administration is done by the secretary team, Sephidya is merely the one making decisions and communicating with Zhao Guang. After that hectic period, the territory has gradually become calmer.
Zhao Guang nodded: "Then it'll be tough on you for a few days. By the way, who dares to attack our team?"
You know, although constructing the Magic Node uses modules, they still have teams going over to guide it.
After all, not everyone can use these modules. Moreover, probing and calculating the Magic Node requires their help. It's not easy to smoothly install a Magic Node without the Mage's assistance.
Unexpectedly, someone dared to attack his people.
"After investigation, it was done by Temple people." In fact, there was no need for investigation since the other party did not attempt to hide.
"Temple people? Have they gone mad?" Zhao Guang was not angry; instead, he found it a bit amusing.
You should know, the reason Temple holds significant sway on the continent is not strictly due to their strength, nor the backing of a Divine presence, but rather because their reputation is very good, especially among the grassroots.
Nowadays, this Magic Node is valuable and important to everyone, yet they dare to attack it.
With such an assault, the grassroots and nobles' perception of them would inevitably decline.
When perception declines, spreading their faith will be very difficult in the future.
Also, others won't send people to Temple to learn and improve, leading to a fracture in the Temple's combat power. If this continues for long, the Temple's upper ranks will see a decline in fighting strength as well.
This is essentially slow suicide; why would they do this?
Furthermore, purchasing and constructing Magic Nodes involves various local nobles and Lords, who spend a significant amount. If damaged, they must bear the loss themselves; would the nobles be willing?
They are still trying to leverage these things to vie for more benefits, earn more money.
Such events would definitely cause grievances among the local nobles, and their previous donations of money and resources to the Temple may cease altogether. Then, how would the Temple sustain its massive followers?
You should know, although the Temple isn't completely unproductive, it's almost akin to that.
They have very few industries, which originally wasn't discernible on the resource-rich Delan Continent, but if the supply is broken, the ensuing consequences are predictable.
"Those nobles probably won't be fond of Temple's actions, right?"
"Quite detested indeed, many have already threatened to sever ties with the Temple. However, still numerous individuals speak for the Temple, claiming those involved are impersonators, not actual Temple affiliates."
"What's Temple's response?" Zhao Guang was curious about their reaction.
"Very chaotic, some people vehemently deny, while others blatantly admit without reserve. Only through this can we ascertain it was indeed Temple behind it."
Looking at the data, the assaults were not focused on one place.
This was a widespread area affected, and among them, Klein Empire's Temple allegedly has close ties with nobles, yet conflicts there are even more intense, baffling everyone.
Although the development of the Magic Net profession impacts the Temple, they wouldn't go so far, would they?
Such actions not only fail to attack him much, but rather, they harm themselves.
"Investigated thoroughly, specifically why this occurred?"
"It has been clarified, reportedly Temple's interior has split." Upon mentioning this, even Sephidya found it astonishing. You should know, Temple's structure has existed for a long time.
Especially across these general continents, though different Divine entities preside over Temple, they always unite cohesively.
