Chapter 1161: Chapter 356 Silver Moon Sect’s War Sacrifice_3 Chapter 1161: Chapter 356 Silver Moon Sect’s War Sacrifice_3 He reveled in the sensation of his thoughts being immersed in ice water, clear and efficient.

It allowed him to sense the presence of the Universe Law more clearly than anywhere else.

Now it seemed that the Thorn Crown, one of the Four Great Sovereignty Sacred Artifacts with its ability to gather the Law of Fear, also served as something akin to a “promotion ritual.”

It was this that had enabled King Arthur to advance quickly to the Seventh Grade.

…

Other cities might surrender and become slaves, but the people of the Southern Continent would never leave Talon City behind–the largest Machinery City in the southern part of the East Wilderness.

The only piece of good news was that almost everyone in the city knew they were fighting a battle to the death.

The city was now in a state of total war readiness.

Official recruitment points could be seen everywhere on the streets.

Residents, young and old alike, could sign up to receive their combat equipment.

Mostly Mechanical Exoskeletons and firearms.

Although the combat power of the Dragon-blooded Card Masters of the Southern Continent was strong, Machinery minimized the gap as much as possible.

A bullet fired from a child’s gun was no different from one fired from an adult’s.

Initially, he was just strolling around, but Leonard Churchill suddenly stopped.

Because at the largest intersection in the district, he saw a military flag with a “Moon and Cross Star.”

“Eh?”

Leonard found the symbol very familiar; wasn’t that the emblem of the Taron Dynasty’s Moon Cross Legion?

He had seen it before.

It was in the Upper State Prison, where Arthur had summoned the undead Death Knights who once guarded the Taron Dynasty.

This legion was quite special.

Because it was not only the most powerful legion of the Taron Dynasty but also the personal troops of the Silver Moon Queen.

“Silver Moon Sect?”

All of a sudden, a lightbulb went off in Leonard’s head, and he realized a crucial point.

The one who had attacked him with Silver Moon Secret Techniques in Sinless City was most likely Princess Betty.

And coincidentally, Leonard was one of the few people who knew she had been in contact with the tomb of the Silver Moon Queen from three thousand years ago in Augustus’ Mausoleum.

Leonard had once been an undercover agent within the Silver Moon Church, so he was all too familiar with their methods.

Suddenly, a thought so chilling it made him gasp coursed through his mind: “Could it be… the Silver Moon Church is preparing for another Ancient God’s Descent?”

Previously in the Divine Ruins Treasure House, Noah Wright’s trump card had forced the Silver Moon Church to summon something called the “Silver Moon God Tree.”

Later, during his chat with Mushroomhead, Leonard speculated it was probably some kind of Ancient God’s Descent ritual.

But at the time, it had been thwarted.

All the previous preparations had gone up in smoke.

Leonard was well-versed in the Silver Moon Secret Book and knew that the Ancient God’s Descent required a significant number of “Spirit Mediums” and a vessel.

Now, it appeared Princess Betty might be the chosen vessel for the ‘Master of Dreams and Pleasure’, Arachne.

But for the descent to occur, a massive number of Spirit Mediums was required.

This was something not easily found elsewhere.

But now, there was an abundance of it.

Human beings, with their high intelligence, were one of the best sources of Blood Media.

What method other than a large-scale war could gather Blood Media more quickly?

Leonard already had an inkling of what was happening and thought to himself, “Could it be… the Silver Moon Church is planning to sacrifice the people in this war as Blood Media?”

Once he reached a conclusion, he started to deduce backwards from there, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he was getting closer to the truth.

If it were only the Orlan Royal Court’s plan, the people of the Southern Continent might not be fooled.

Which meant, Princess Betty must have arranged for some measures within the Southern Continent’s legion.

“Those people from the Orlan Royal Court are really preparing for a big move…”

Leonard could see the grand drama that was about to unfold.

Now, with few aware of Princess Betty’s compromised identity, the plan seemed quite feasible.

Even if Leonard guessed what was happening, it was already too late to stop it.

The Southern Continent’s army was massed outside the city, and they would not stop the war because of some rumors.

Once the floodwaters of war surge, they are not something that an individual can stop.

And Leonard, one of the few with inside knowledge…

Couldn’t stop it even if he wanted to, nor did he have any reason to disrupt this plan.

After all, compared to the threat of the invasion by the Southern Continent, the Silver Moon Church’s threat was significantly lesser.

…

“Ancient God’s Descent?”

For some reason, thinking of this, Leonard actually felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

Since the Moon God’s Descent was an unalterable event, his train of thought automatically extended towards directions that could benefit him.

The original plan was for Leonard to find an opportunity to get the people and equipment out, which might have led to some small-scale pursuit.

With Sophia Jones and Camilla as powerful allies, the three of them could definitely reap many benefits.

But now that he had guessed this point, the plan had changed.

If the Orlan Royal Family dared to do this, it meant they had already written off the several million people in Talon City.

In return, they must have some assurance that after the Moon God’s Descent, they could either resolve the conflict or at least severely damage the Southern Continent’s army of four hundred thousand.

This outcome was likely something no one could predict.

The wheels of war were already rolling, unstoppable by human force.

But Leonard’s Professional Sequence was not like anyone else’s.

He could absorb Divinity as well as Blood Media.

His intuition told him that this Moon God’s Descent could be a fatal crisis, but it could also be a Big Chance for him.
