Chapter 126: The Clever Heart of the Abyss Alliance
Through the transfer of the teleportation stele and the main teleportation stele, the team of 800 people and the people leading them were able to reach the royal capital.
Among them are those who have combat power, such as Hyoanagi, Gaviling, and Kurgei, but also those who have no combat power, such as Wilford and Matthew.
A sugar merchant, a doctor and a pharmacist, there is no need to force these two people in this way.
Kronos is an exception. On the one hand, she cannot be said to have the ability to fight in real combat. On the other hand, in the past few days of learning the rune group, she can already slightly call upon the magic power around her.
Perhaps she had the talent to develop into a spellcaster, but she didn't have the time to study for it right now.
And for a commander, personal bravery is often not that important.
The importance of command can be seen from the phrase "as if directing something with one's own arm".
This is why Kronos could have directly mobilized all the people here, but he finally insisted on holding a meeting to bring these people here.
They are all people who can trust Abes. It is important to have someone who can understand, think, and convey orders quickly and accurately.
With their joining, the soldiers on the outer city wall were quickly and completely defeated.
Many people who were lucky enough not to die were also tied up.
The only drawback was that as the catapults on the inner city wall became more and more fierce and accurate, even though the enemies on the outer city wall and the outer city area had been repelled, they could only stop outside the castle helplessly.
After several fruitless charges, they seemed to be at a stalemate.
----------
As a clergyman in the North, Sister Agatha's situation is very unusual but not that unusual.
Before becoming a clergyman, he had a part-time job as a rogue and a trickster, which seemed incredible outside the North.
But in the North, this is perfectly normal. She has normal logic and a clear mind, and she doesn't continue to do those sneaky things. Of course, she can become a clergyman in the North that has been eroded by the devil.
It is not easy for the religion of the North to be preserved after thousands of years of bloody battles and the infusion of dark magic from the abyss.
In this regard, all the clergy in the North, including Sister Agatha, have a high opinion of the [Covenant under the Abyss].
In the critical moment of life and death, people of faith put aside their disputes, united, and continued the future of the Northerners' faith so that it would not be stolen by the great devils, until the North returned to the material plane where it could receive the protection of the gods.
Although as time passed, the North escaped from the Abyss and returned to the material plane, the Covenant under the Abyss had long come to an end.
But compared to the Pantheon, the result of the religious union in name only in the South, the Covenant of the North in the year of its fall is still superior.
Even many superiors, because of their ambitions seduced by the devil, turned the entire North into a pot of hodgepodge that could not be divided any further.
However, there is still a deep brotherly feeling among the various sects and churches in the North.
It is precisely because they remember the spirit of the covenant their ancestors made under the abyss that even though the covenant has ended with the North's return to the material plane, they still maintain peace and mutual protection.
After all, they once faced the danger of all religions being destroyed by the devil, and now they are also facing the danger of the lords destroying the religions that do not submit to their ambitions.
Since they were facing the same danger, the existence of an alliance would not affect the closeness of their relationship.
It is obvious to be affected in such an environment.
For example, although they all believe in the same god, there are some individual doctrines in the North that have even come to the point where they almost have disrespectful words like "all under heaven are one family" and "equality of faith" written on their faces.
It is a tragedy no matter how you look at it that clergymen with such noble ideas encounter superiors with the most despicable thoughts and morals.
Because of this, more and more people are thinking like Sister Agatha: God is real, and divine magic is real, but why do divine magic and all the knowledge related to God exist?
It can be said that even if Abes had not emerged, the idea of treating divine arts as means of production and the principles behind divine arts as mathematical problems with unsolved principles would have emerged sooner or later.

The extremely simple rune set that Kronos sent back was placed in front of Sister Agatha.
And these things also gave her a wake-up call. In this world, many things do not necessarily require complicated processes. They should often be simple. On the basis of such simplicity, a lot of long and great knowledge can be born.
It is indeed an incredible creation to use the most basic runes to create such an adaptable block.
On the one hand, the structure that Kronos copied back from the magic focusing array where the teleportation stele was located can adapt to even the free magic in nature; on the other hand, by adjusting parameters and repeating it continuously, it can also withstand the materialized crystallization of magic that he has researched.
The same is true for the output end. On the one hand, it can be designed to be the most basic form of supplying magic power to the functional area of the magic circle in the safest way, but it can also be directly connected to ordinary people who have no spellcasting ability at all in an extremely outrageous way.
This feeling made Sister Agatha dumbfounded.
It's like a powerful fireball. In the hands of a wizard with extremely high control level, it can be woven into a gorgeous fire dragon, or thrown directly at a person, and then removed hair and dead skin by burning with extremely delicate techniques.
High efficiency, as long as the parameters are adjusted, the input and output can reach certain extreme magic requirements.
The problem that had troubled me for a long time was solved in an instant.
Sister Agatha easily designed two derivatives of this pair of rune sets, and applied them to the magic blast furnace and magic explosives respectively.
Among them, the input requirement for the blast furnace is to be able to withstand the fierce bombardment of the crystallized magic power, while the output requirement is to be stable and precise;
Applied to explosives, it also serves the materialization of magic power in terms of input, and in terms of output, through the adjustment of parameters, it successfully achieves the effect of delayed output.
Therefore, even if other people do not have the mage hand like Ms. Hirugashi, the means of remote detonation, they can still have enough time to throw the explosives in their hands to cause casualties.
After completing these two basic tasks, Sister Agatha did not stop. She couldn't wait to take out a tattered notebook from the room.
During the long-term cooperation with the Abyss Alliance, some wonderful ideas have been accumulated, including some quite whimsical drawings.
After searching for a while, Sister Agatha finally found what she wanted.
It was an anatomical diagram of a mechanical construct, with many similar parts of the power structure marked in red.
What finally appears on paper is a simplified structure.
They were some linked machines with gears, bearings and connecting rods, and the core part was a sealed cylinder.
And below the drawing, there are some thought-provoking words.
【It is the soul that matters, not the shape of the container. 】
[What makes you think that warforged have souls? My student retorted to me.
And my answer is - what makes you think you have a soul? 】
That was the debate in the Abyss Covenant about the warforged, or the race of mechanical men.
