Abe the Wizard-Chapter 1451 - Organizing

It has been ten days since Abel started his hard work at the Holy Kingdom, but to his surprise, the worries he had about the Holy Kingdom attacking him never happened.

In fact, it was almost like every top level knight had disappeared. At least none of them showed up in the territories he controlled.

The twenty-four God Rank Summons he had prepared never made a single move. His followers organized amongst themselves, and the low-rank holy knights did not stop them since they did not have any orders from above.

The Saint and the God Rank Knights totally did not see this coming. Abel had not done all of this because of the Demon from Beyond, but because he wanted to save his followers!

Still, Abel was very lucky, as he had picked the perfect time to take over the Holy Kingdom Teleportation Circles… when the Demon from Beyond was regaining consciousness!

Because of that, the God Rank Knights had no choice but to stay in the Central Temple!

The amount of energy Abel had used in this operation was hard to imagine. Even if a small part of it was supplied by Lar City’s Teleportation Circle, most of it was supplied by Abel himself. Not to mention, the Super Teleportation Circle had been activated for ten days straight, which was the heaviest workload it had ever endured.

Luckily, the Magic Circle Spirit was powerful enough.

During those ten days, Abel was also worried that the Demon from Beyond would fully awaken, but that also never happened. It seemed that losing a hundred million followers did not affect it very much.

In fact, if Abel really did bring out all of his God Rank Summons, the half-awake Demon from Beyond might sense a threat and speed up his recovery through some special method.

Abel did not ask the Holy Continent about how they wished to manage those followers; all he needed was to say a word and they would give them an individual piece of land.

Due to their difference in Faith, they could not interact with normal people, at least for now.

As for food, they would be able to sustain themselves by growing crops soon, but for now, they would be supported by the Kingdom of St. Ellis with its speedy crop-growing methods. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

Abel was no longer afraid of exposing his Third Goddess Spring Water with his current status. After all, no one would mess with him for something so trivial.

All of this was why Abel was so confident that the Holy Continent could hold his hundred million followers.

Those followers still needed laws and rules to follow. Although applying the bureaucracy of the Kingdom of St. Ellis to them would be a lot of work, it was still achievable.

After all, those new large cities and towns created for his hundred million followers needed nobles!

This gave the big nobles in the Kingdom of St. Ellis a great opportunity to send their extra children to fight for a position of power in those newly established cities and towns.

Of course, things were not really rainbows and sunshine.

With this sudden growth of population in the Kingdom of St. Ellis, the top authorities of the kingdom were already planning to take over more territories, especially since many of those rulers were knights.

After all, none of the three great kingdoms knew that the entire Holy Continent belonged to Abel. Even the Kingdom of St. Ellis themselves did not know!

But it was Abel’s intention to maintain their original power dynamic, anyway.

——

After ten days, the final batch of followers were teleported away, and Abel took the hundred Teleportation Circles apart once again.

The puppets returned to the Golden Castle before they were all stored away once again in Abel’s holy portal bag.

Afterwards, Abel Flashed away.

The moment the Golden Castle was stored away, the Magic Circle Spirit also let go of its control on the Holy Kingdom’s teleportation network, and the Circles regained their autonomy.

At that moment, Knight Issac ran towards the Saint.

His head was covered in sweat and his hair was messy. It was not a good look.

Ever since the Magic Circles had returned to normal, vast amounts of messages had gushed in, and their system was overloading.

Finally, he had to deactivate every Communication Circle to neutralize it!

“Knight Issac, just tell me about the damage!” The Saint waved his hand helplessly after seeing how bad Knight Issac looked.

They had been isolated for ten days, and he had no idea what was happening outside.

Knight Issac bowed. “Your Grace, I got the report that many of our people have received a prophecy and they were teleported to an unknown land!”

“A prophecy? Are you sure?” the Saint frowned.

As the Prophet of the Lord, he knew very well what state the Demon from Beyond was in. It only recovered a slight consciousness, it was not enough to directly send out a prophecy. But even if it was needed, it would tell the Saint to do it!

“Your Grace, it was a prophecy, which was why the knights had no choice!” Knight Isaac replied.

“How many people are gone?’ The Saint felt his heart drop. Something had to be wrong…

“One fifth!” Knight Issac estimated.

The Saint shot up and gasped, “One fifth?”

He almost fainted. That was almost a hundred million followers!

“A hundred million people are gone and our intelligence network doesn’t know where they went?” he yelled at Knight Isaac.

“Your Grace, please forgive me!” Knight Issac dropped to his knees. He really had no answer.

One hundred million was not a small number. There was no way they could have vanished into thin air in just ten days.

Even after Knight Isaac ordered a massive search operation, they still found nothing.

“One fifth of our people, one hundred million!” the Saint mumbled to himself. Suddenly, a thought struck him.

He knew the Faith of the Holy Kingdom had decreased by a fifth recently, which meant another god had used the Holy Kingdom to cultivate his own followers!

“Good moves!” the Saint sighed.

But it was way too confusing. How was it even possible? Still, it was too late.

“Your Grace, only one person could have done this: Abel!” Knight Marco deduced grimly.

“Yes, only Abel!” the Saint nodded and added, “I will tell the Lord everything that has happened once he awakens. Abel must be captured by the Lord’s own hands!”

After all, it was too easy to make sense of things with Abel in the picture.

The reason the top rank holy knights had guarded the Central Temple for ten days was because they thought Abel might attack with his forces!

“The Lord will make his soul suffer for eternity!” Knight Marco declared with a cold gaze. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

But for now, there was not much he could do. After all, no one knew where Abel was!

——

Meanwhile, Abel returned to the God of Protection’s Realm, then teleported back to Doff’s Realm.

He let out all his gods again, as keeping them gathered was a huge waste. Finally, he took out the Golden Castle again.

Even with a hundred million followers gone from the Holy Kingdom, the news never spread to the central continent.

However, the effect it had was huge.

The God Rank Knights stopped going out of the Holy Kingdom, and the Wizard Union waited at the Warding Wall for no reason.

Just like that, a strange sense of peace swept down, while the Wizard Union continued to search for their lost treasure.

The dragons did not get involved with the affairs of the land, and instead kept expanding their ocean territories.

They discovered large numbers of new islands and minerals. The dwarves’ assistance helped them tremendously.

Compared to the land, the ocean was like a whole new world.

Since the Wizard Union controlled most of the mines on land, and they had stopped opening mines for the dwarves after they pledged their allegiance to Abel, the dwarves could only expand through the ocean.

—–

Although things might be going well on the surface, every powerful figure knew it was an illusion.

All they needed to do was think about the nineteen God Rank Wizards, and the constantly moving Guardian Wings. It could send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Not to mention the phenomena of the fallen God-Rank above the Wizard Union. A big God Rank War might break out at any moment!

All forces started to withdraw their forces. The elves fully isolated themselves from the other races. Non-elves were no longer able to enter their territories, even if they registered beforehand.

The Death God’s Crazy Heart Valley was going through a similar situation. Large numbers of orcs returned and every priest had to come out of seclusion to prepare for the worst.

A God Rank War would be a disaster, and the intermediate forces would be the seed for the conflict!

Just like that, a hidden horror loomed over the central continent.
