You're an assassin, why do you focus on ranged?

Chapter 348

According to Qin Chuan's character, even if he didn't say hello to Alessa, he would at least go out and walk around the world to see how far the Black Death has spread in other places.

And take a look at how the church's attacking troops suddenly retreated.

But now he is in an inactive state and can only be a spectator.

Fortunately, it is not completely fruitless.

At least Qin Chuan knows that Alessa is most likely the Lady of the Night, and has initially established a sect.

But from the current point of view, it has not yet developed to the stage of absorbing faith.

This is related to Alessa's strength.

However, from the perspective of Qin Chuan, a bystander, it is only a matter of time.

He can clearly see that the Black Death infected people who were treated, after feeling the improvement of their condition and their bodies becoming energetic, their gratitude to Alessa is unparalleled. The pale white light spots flew out from their heads and slowly drifted towards Alessa.

This is faith.

It is a very elementary stage, but it is indeed the power of faith.

As long as Alessa can detect the existence of these beliefs and absorb them, she can enter a new stage.

Accumulating strength, absorbing beliefs, and igniting the divine fire are the paths to godhood that the gods of the Apocalypse world usually take.

The amount of belief also determines the status and strength of the gods.

This is also the most fundamental reason why the major churches in the Apocalypse world fight each other.

There are only so many lambs, how can two gods share the power of belief.

In order to get more power of belief, it is necessary to expand the influence and suppress the latecomers at the same time to prevent more beliefs from being diverted.

From this perspective, Alessa brought the vagrants to resettle in Beli City, and established a sect with the opportunity of treating the Black Death. This will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the churches, and they will be eager to get rid of it as soon as possible.

The previous war broke out because of this.

But the church hastily evacuated in the middle of the war, which is a bit unreasonable.

The only explanation is that there is an event more urgent than suppressing the new sect.

Judging from the sharp increase in the number of people infected with the Black Death, it is likely that the Black Death has also broken out on a large scale.

Qin Chuan even suspected that other cities had also seen vicious incidents such as bishop rebellion, and the church's backyard was on fire, so they retreated so hastily and embarrassedly.

Although he did not see it with his own eyes, Qin Chuan felt that this possibility was very high.

Anyway, he could not move, so Qin Chuan simply suppressed his patience and continued to be a bystander to see what the Lady of the Night was up to and what she wanted to show him.

…

Since Alessa and her followers settled in Beli City, the days passed one by one, the sun rose and set, and two years had passed in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for fast forwarding, Qin Chuan would have gone crazy.

Watching a movie can also eat some snacks and drink some drinks, but he was motionless like a wooden man.

"Forget it, just treat it as watching a super long movie."

Qin Chuan said secretly.

In the past two years, he witnessed Alessa's continuous breakthroughs. She had already become a well-known expert in treating the Black Death, and she had completed her transformation into the Pope. She was also more and more proficient in the use of shadow power.

Perhaps because of the deep impression of the war with the church, Alessa and her followers did not publicize the sect they established, so as not to be targeted by the church again.

However, it turned out that they were overthinking.

As time went on, in addition to the Black Death infected, more refugees came to Beli City, and they brought a shocking news.

A full-scale war had already broken out outside, with kingdoms of all sizes fighting each other, and the church involved. It was a mess, with a small battle every three days and a big battle every five days.

If there was no fighting one day, it meant that both sides were on their way and had not yet reached the war zone.

Alessa was stunned when she heard it.

She had been staying in Beli City for the past two years, and she had not paid much attention to the outside world. How could the situation become like this in just two years?

Alessa got some answers from the refugees.

After the Bishop of Beli City rebelled, the churches strictly guarded against it and conducted internal screening, and they actually found several hidden traitors.

But the good times did not last long. More clergy were infected with the Black Death and launched rebellions again and again.

Even if the gods blessed them, they could not stop this process.

This undoubtedly shook the people's trust in the church.

When there was a crack in the faith, heretical organizations began to take advantage of it, and there were even incidents of remote small countries collectively surrendering to the enemy and changing their beliefs.

The first thing they did after changing their beliefs was to expand outward.

The neighboring kingdoms did not take it seriously at first, after all, they knew how many troops the other side had.

But when the real fight started, the situation was completely beyond expectations.

The troops of the small countries who changed their beliefs,There are many priests who hide their faces. With their blessing, the soldiers are extremely strong in combat. They have won victory after victory, easily annexed several countries, and started to expand further.

Alessa and her followers gathered in front of the map, looking at the battle report modification mark, and found that although the city of Beli is temporarily safe, it is only temporary. It will change from the rear to the front line in a year at most, and will face the front again.

The cloud of war looms over the head of Beli City.

But this time, the residents in the city have a strong desire to defend.

They were infected with the Black Death before and could only wait to die in the wilderness. It was not easy for them to meet Alessa to help them cure the Black Death. A brand new life is in front of them. How can they sit back and watch the enemy destroy everything?

The same is true for other refugees who settled here. With the idea that people are in the city, they have taken the initiative to request to strengthen the city's defense.

Although a small number of people chose to leave, most of the residents stayed.

Alessa took on the burden and led everyone to strengthen the city walls, recruit soldiers to start training, and store various supplies to cope with possible wars.

…

In the third year, the war came as expected.

The enemy and us launched a brutal tug-of-war around the city of Beli. It can be said that every inch of land under the city wall was stained with blood again and again.

Many people fell, but the remaining people did not give up, but became more determined.

They want to defend their city.

Alessa also further transformed in the war, her strength soared, and she even mastered a new ability. Just like Qin Chuan at the beginning, she distributed the power of shadow to her followers.

Seven of the followers gradually stood out, and their reputation and strength were second only to Alessa, becoming the mainstay of resisting foreign enemies.

It was also under their leadership that the defense of Beli City actually stabilized. Even if the enemy's accompanying priests were in a state of blessing, they could not cross the city wall of Beli City.

After more than a year of tug-of-war, the enemy retreated.

On the one hand, they could not fight anymore, and on the other hand, their base camp was attacked.

Under the leadership of several churches, an elite coalition army attacked the rebellious kingdom and killed the king there.

However, this did not end the war, but made the situation worse.

Because the Black Death broke out among the coalition army without any signs, in just a few hours, those infected were transformed into black monsters, sweeping across the continent like a tide.

The Dark Ages began.
