Chapter 1215: Chapter 513: The ntal Contamination of the Fallen Celestial Marshal_2

“…No, it’s nothing. It’s not a big deal.”

Philip’s steady middle-aged voice spoke: “I’m just a little puzzled…

“—Why didn’t we co from Iris Flower’s side? When we attacked the Stibium Capital before, didn’t we establish a temporary fortress at the border between Iris Flower and Stibium?

“From there to the Spirit Summoning Tower, it should only take about two days. It should be in ti. Or we could first transport the Black Chancellor over and have it move the Spirit Summoning Tower to our side… I an, is this possible?”

As the Crown Lord’s favored creature, the Gryphon revered the Pillar God far more than other beings.

The Pureblood Gryphon was evidently not daring enough to defy the Son of Si Zhu, so it was quite cautious in voicing its opinion.

However, Aiwass was montarily taken aback upon hearing this.

He originally wanted to say that they wouldn’t be able to control the Spirit Summoning Tower imdiately—yet Philip’s thought of “having the Black Chancellor move the Spirit Summoning Tower” imdiately shut down this idea.

Aiwass felt his mind cloud for a mont, a hint of doubt arising in his heart.

…Yes, why didn’t I think of that?

Or rather, why was my initial thought to attack by sea?

Aiwass pondered for a long ti before finding the sowhat startling answer.

…Because that’s how it originally was in the storyline.

The ones originally fighting against the Demon Army of the Fallen Celestial Marshal were reinforcents the Queen Vanhua Isabel brought from the Holy Nation.

Although there was an alliance back then, it mainly consisted of Stibium’s own soldiers—because at that ti Stibium hadn’t split yet. The soldiers of Narcissus and Black Hawk who have now joined were originally from the Stibium Army.

Those Stibium Army soldiers were already in Stibium, gradually being incorporated into the Holy Nation’s forces!

At the very beginning, the landing force only consisted of the Paladin Legion landing under the cover of the lone “Cruel Preacher!”

Because the Holy Nation disliked interfering with other countries, the initial forces were less than two thousand. Hence, choosing to co by sea was quite reasonable—the supplies for these two thousand could indeed be carried by the ships.

At that ti in the main storyline, the resistance the alliance encountered after landing mostly ca from Count Leipzig who had defected to the Fallen Celestial Marshal.

Leipzig at that ti was called the “City of Blood Banquet,” and Count Leipzig was known as the “Master of the Blood Banquet.” Up to this point, there were almost no demons encountered, the resistance ca from those Fallen Transcendent corrupted by Leipzig’s money.

Upon the players defeating the “Master of the Blood Banquet,” the next main mission was the Spirit Summoning Tower—not the “Millennial Oath Spirit Summoning Tower,” but the “Sealed Library Necromancy Academy,” where the boss was a young male necromancer accompanied by two plump stitched zombies. Due to the lack of chanics, Aiwass even forgot his na.

After dealing with the Spirit Summoning Tower, the advance into the territory happened gradually. They also encountered the “Four Heavenly Kings” sent by the Fallen Celestial Marshal, who were four humans turned into Upper-Level Demons… In the original storyline, it was around this ti the players gradually learned about the “Tail-Biting Ring Ceremony.”

—Of course, in the original tiline, Avalon couldn’t have helped Stibium. Because Avalon had already beco a puppet state of Stibium. Not only had it fallen into a state of military rule, but it also harbored deep resentnt towards Stibium.

And the Gryphon Legion had long been destroyed by then… It was precisely because of this, air superiority was always in the control of the Demon Army. The alliance had no air force, the only source of powerful mobility ca from the group transmission of the Mage Tower.

But now things are different.

Under the command of Aiwass, the Gryphon Legion had already bombarded the Stibium Capital!

For ease of advancent, they established their camp at the Iris Border—which ant it could be utilized as a base!

Moreover, the number of this wave of alliance forces was substantial, which ant if the battle was prolonged, logistical supplies would also face resistance during transportation.

“…Damn, how could I have made such a big mistake!”

A shiver ran through Aiwass as he snapped back to his senses, feeling suddenly alard.

—Isn’t it wrong?

He suddenly turned to look at the Great Guardian.

The Great Guardian was the one who arranged the fortifications himself, others might not know or may have forgotten, but he couldn’t possibly forget!

Then why, when Aiwass sought advice from the Great Guardian, did he say nothing?

“I don’t think the problem is too big.”

The expression of the Great Guardian was very relaxed.

He had just personally slain more than one Succubus, which made him exceedingly excited—the old sha still etched in his heart, he harbored an almost hateful hostility towards Succubi.

His face was beaming with a smile, and there was a faint redness in his eyes: “Anyway, isn’t the result good?

“—Although a ship sank, other than the Son of the Moon, weren’t the others rescued from the water? Soldiers truly struck down by Thunder weren’t many, certainly fewer than the casualties that would have resulted from a slow advancent by land. As for those Sons of the Moon…”

The Great Guardian snorted coldly and did not continue speaking.

“I also think there’s no problem.”

The tone of Saint John was filled with maternal care, soothing Aiwass’ emotions as if taking care of a child: “After all, Miss Night Fiend can take care of everyone, right?”

At this mont, the Night Fiend had been assigned by Aiwass to the rear—disregarding the possibility of being discovered by the Fallen Celestial Marshal, she fully expanded her domain. Among the dark red clouds, she resembled a demon god.

She set the curse’s target as “all demons within the domain,” placing the “Stupidity Curse” on all demons, including herself!

This was the curse Aiwass had used on Sherlock, to cool his overheated and unstoppable mind.

And the curse wielded by the Sixth Power Level Night Fiend was sufficient to temporarily render the cursed one’s mind foolish!

Under such interference, when the demons were transmitted over, it was almost impossible for them to launch an attack imdiately. In the delay of this period, they would be torn apart, pierced by the cruel blood rain because they bore the curse!

If the cursed were to bathe in that blood rain, it would be like being continuously pierced by countless steel needles. Perhaps only demons like the Berserk Demon, Maze Demon, and Blade Demon could withstand the damage, whereas fragile demons like the Demon of Winter, Succubus, and Incubus might lose their lives in the mont of pause that occurred upon ergence.

—To the uncursed, however, the blood rain was rely thick and fetid water.

The current situation had indeed cald down, thus it appeared to really be a matter of detail.

The number of soldiers killed due to the demon ambush was unexpectedly small, and in the eyes of the Great Guardian, it could even be considered a great victory!

Yet, Aiwass felt an increasingly intense unease.

An inexplicable sense of fear was bringing him gradually to his senses—what concerned him now was not the battle losses or the marching routes, but “why he had arranged everything so naturally.”

And even now, no one had brought this to Aiwass’ attention.

The only one who realized sothing was wrong was the Griffin from the Great Guardian’s household!

Could a Gryphon be smarter than everyone else?

…Were people too afraid of the Pope? Was it that they dared not express their opinions?

It wasn’t likely—he had a good relationship with the Great Guardian, and greatly respected this elder.

The Great Guardian didn’t have a reason to be afraid of him. Moreover, the Gryphon should be the one feeling frightened by him.

…Moreover, based on Aiwass’ impression of the Great Guardian, he was a silent, gentle, and just man.

George’s attitude towards war was one of aversion yet acceptance; he would never be as excited as now, nor would he say “anyway, the battle losses aren’t much.”

Even if he disliked the Sons of the Moon—after all, it was a Succubus and a Son of the Moon who manipulated him to attack Isabel…

But Aiwass thought he wouldn’t deliberately harm allies.

…It’s as if the hatred in his heart has beco fresh, amplified countless tis.

As for the forr Pope Saint John—even less likely—this maternal-like person should love every life.

Yet now, she had beco one who fully supported Aiwass, did not negate any of his proposals, even went so far as to excuse him for obvious mistakes.

But they had only t a few tis!

Aiwass suddenly realized, it was likely not just him—even the ntal state of this forr Pope had gone awry!

…And why was the Gryphon the one without issues?

“Could it be because…”

Aiwass murmured softly.

…because the Gryphon is a “Winged One”?
