"What rumors?"
Sofia raised her head and looked at Finn with a little scrutiny.
As a favored person of the goddess Eve, she has always been very sensitive to news about the goddess, and Finn's hesitant expression gave her a bad premonition.
Fern hesitated for a moment, raised his head and said:
"Lady Sophia, there are many rumors in the south now, saying that Her Majesty the Goddess had actually gone to the abyss when the war between gods and demons started, and was ambushed by the evil **** of the abyss, and was sealed..."
After listening to Finn's words, Sophia's expression changed slightly, and she snorted coldly:
"Absurd!"
Finn lowered his head.
After a few seconds of silence, he heard Sophia's voice again:
"Finn, where did you hear these rumors?"
Finn replied respectfully:
"There are rumors like this in many places, now in many places in the south, but... after I traced the source, I found that the source seemed to come from the underground world."
"Underworld?"
Sophia raised her eyebrows.
Seeing Sophia's thoughtful expression, Finn hesitated and asked cautiously:
"Lord Sophia... There are rumors in many places now that the goddess's crown has not yet come to incarnate to wipe out the evil until the demon invades the Segas world. It is because something happened to the goddess's crown... Is this true? ”
Sofia glanced at him, and she saw that Finn's eyes were full of worry, and besides worry, there was also a bit of confusion.
The girl sighed softly in her heart and said:
"Finn, don't think nonsense, these are all rumors."
After speaking, she glanced at the document that had not yet been presented to the knight, rubbed her temples, and said:
"Leave your investigation report, I'm a little tired."
Fern nodded, presented the report document rolled up in parchment with both hands, and then leaned over to leave.
After the knight left, Sophia sighed and opened the file.
The font of the report is not good-looking, at least from the perspective of a former imperial noble, it can only be said to be barely legible, but this is quite rare for a knight who was born as an Orion.
In fact, if Finn had not been an apprentice in Augus City for a while, he would not be able to recognize so many words.
However, although the writing is ugly, the content of the report is in order. This is why Sophia sent Finn to the south. This young knight had been discovered by her when he was working in Zeroland.
When Sophia browsed the report document, her brows became tighter and tighter, and her fingertips holding the parchment became slightly harder.
"Have you at least transported millions of demons..."
Her eyes were a little solemn.
Fern's documents contain detailed information about the war in the South.
Among them, what made Sophia feel most heavy-hearted were the shocking numbers.
Among them is not only the increasing number of demons as time goes by, but also the emergence of powerful demon monarchs one after another as the territory falls...
In just a few months, at least seven legends of the Holy Mania Empire have fallen, more than 500 high-level professionals have died in battle, and the number of troops wiped out by the demons may have exceeded 200,000...
This exaggerated figure, if placed a few years ago, would have been the entire military strength of the entire empire.
That is, in recent years, the magic power of the Segas world has rebounded, and the professionals have experienced a blowout, so as not to completely collapse...
But even so, Sophia also saw the criticality of the situation from between the lines of Finn's record.
The Eternal Church has issued orders many times to accept divine grace to expand the number of Judgment Knights. Several miracles have even appeared in the Eternal Holy City of Manyia, and several Seraphs have descended.
However, even so, the empire could not stop the demons' offensive.
Looking at the various descriptions on the parchment and the tragic situation after the demonic invasion recorded in the documents, Sophia's expression became more and more serious.
"Maybe we will attack the Maple Moon Free Territory in two months..."
Staring at the names of the fallen places, the girl murmured.
Two months, that’s Fein’s guess based on the current battle situation.
However, after Sophia finished reading the document and looked at the map behind her, her brows furrowed deeply.
The Maple Moon Free Territory reaches the battlefield downstream through the Vimur River. If the demon army continues to attack the Fertile Plains according to the current offensive, it will indeed take two months to reach the Maple Moon Free Territory.
But if they change their attack method and go straight up the river, it will be different.
I don’t know why, but Sophia always has an ominous premonition when looking at the map, especially after hearing about the rumors going around in the south from Finn...
Something happened to the goddess?
This kind of thing is only spread among pagans and shallow believers.
But after reading the reasons given in the rumors, even Sophia, who is a favored person of the gods, felt a sense of uncertainty...
When a rebellion broke out in the Maple Leaf Territory and the evil **** appeared, from the beginning to the end, in just two months, the goddess took action, directly eliminated the evil **** and spread the glory of the Maple Leaf Territory.
However, now, the demons are descending in the south of the empire at an even faster speed, and after launching their invasion of the world of Segas, there has been no movement from the top leaders of the Life Church.
Sofia clearly knows that the earlier the invasion of the Abyss is contained, the easier it will be to drive the demons out of the world of Segas, and the longer it is delayed, the more difficult the war will be.
The abyss is so huge. The world of Segas is just a main material plane. If the abyss launches a full-scale invasion, it will be difficult for the various forces in the world of Segas to resist without the power of the true god.
So...from the beginning of this war, the key to victory or defeat lies here under the goddess's crown.
However, since the war began, the Holy Mania Empire and the also-affected southern Kingdom of Aires have sent envoys to the Church of Life many times to request help, but the church’s top leaders only sent some of the chosen ones there. Participating in the battle, no news of the goddess' arrival was given.
Not to mention the rumors, even Sophia is vaguely aware that there may be something wrong somewhere that she doesn't know about...
As Eve’s favorite, Sophia’s faith is very firm.
But precisely because of her firm belief, her expression became more solemn after hearing the rumors.
stroking the blessing necklace given to her by Ms. Zero, Sophia could clearly feel the gentle power under the goddess's crown.
This power shows that the goddess's faith is still there.
But if that's the case, why hasn't the goddess crowned her incarnation yet?

This is indeed a confusing question, even if she is the favored one under the crown of the goddess.
During this period, even when Sophia prayed and communicated with the goddess, she received very few responses, and even the responses were often vague and simple instructions, unlike the previous accurate and clear responses. The style is different.
It felt like there was a layer of mist between her and the goddess, and it felt like there were other beings responding to her on behalf of the goddess.
It seems that the earliest sign of this happened coincides with the time when the news of the demonic invasion came.
Sofia... didn't dare to think deeply about this matter.
However, no matter how confused she was, Sophia firmly believed that the goddess's crown must be fine, and she must have her own considerations.
As the God's Favorite under the crown of the goddess and the consul of the Maple Moon Free Territory, all Sophia can do is to unite all possible forces to block the demonic invasion from outside the territory.
With this thought, Sophia stood up from her seat and ordered to the guards outside:
"Prepare the carriage, I am going to Life Church."
……
About twenty minutes later, Sophia took a carriage and arrived in front of the Temple of Life in Zeroland.
After the report, she finally met the chief priest of Maple Moon Free Territory Parish, a beautiful female elf in the temple.
"Master Priest, the pace of the demonic invasion is getting faster and faster. With our current strength, we may not be able to resist their army. I will recruit brave men from various Elf Chosen Guilds to guard the Maple Moon Free Territory."
Sophia said seriously.
The elf priest looked solemn and nodded:
"Lord Archon, I understand."
After speaking, she summoned a handsome elf priest and said to him:
"Your Excellency Natsume, Lady Sophia has a new mission to announce to the Chosen Ones..."
Sofia's heart moved when she saw the summoned elf priest.
She recognized it. This was a chosen elf.
It is said that there is a magical telepathy between the chosen elves. As long as a message is conveyed to one chosen person, all the chosen people may know it.
Looking at the fleur-de-lis logo on the other person's clothes, Sophia also recognized that this chosen one should be a core member of the very large guild called "Heart of Nature" in the Elf Guild.
The heart of nature...
Thinking of this guild name, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in Sophia's mind.
The cynical smile, the weird hairstyle, and the brief but not bad cooperation time.
A trace of nostalgia flashed in the girl's eyes, and she murmured with emotion:
"Your Majesty Demacia, where are you doing now?"
……
"A sneeze——!"
On the high platform, Demacia, dressed in a holy priest's attire, sneezed hard.
After muttering "Who is talking about me behind my back?", he adjusted his clothes.
However, at the next moment, a new system message floated in front of him:
【Ding——】
[Sophia von Wells’ favorability towards you increases by 1 point...]
Demacia:...
He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but touch his nose and whispered:
"Why did you increase the favorability level again?"
A certain poisonous-tongued half-elf lady flashed in my mind, and his expression was a little strange.
Shaking his head, he cleared his throat and looked below the high platform.
Then, with a smile on his face, he continued to speak enthusiastically:
"So...all devout believers, only by strengthening our faith in the Goddess Crown can we win the final victory in the war with the Evil God of the Sea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of warm applause from under the high platform.
It was a fanatical believer wearing a badge with a scepter symbol on his chest. Thousands of people crowded the entire square.
Among them, there are not only elves and half-elves, but also humans, halflings, and other common land races in the Mindel continent.
Looking at the excited believers, Demacia was quite satisfied.
He raised his right hand and solemnly shouted:
"For the glory of the goddess! For our bright future!"
The believers below also raised their right hands excitedly:
"For the glory of the goddess! For our bright future!"
Feeling the warm atmosphere in the audience and listening to the system prompts that the task was completed, Demacia's face flashed with joy.
Then he changed the topic again, smiled and continued:
"Besides... Hehehe, I have another thing to introduce to all believers."
As he spoke, his expression became kinder and his tone became more friendly:
"Dear friends, have you... heard of Amway?"
……
Holy Mania Empire, southern border territory.
The once beautiful plain has been shrouded in darkness, and faint clouds have begun to appear in the sky.
That is the power of the spreading abyss, beginning to erode the world.
The trees have been cut down, and new siege equipment has been built one after another. In the sky, there are countless flying monsters wreaking havoc and roaring.
They were so numerous that they covered the sky, like locusts all over the sky.
On the ground, the endless demon army was like a world-destroying torrent, roaring and roaring.
Under their feet were human bones, and their eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness.
A tall demon with his whole body surrounded by flames stood on the wall of the smoke-filled human city, looking at the ongoing massacre in the city with an expression full of enjoyment.
It wasn't until the last scream disappeared into the evil smiles of the demons that he slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Lord Astaroth, all the land has been transformed and all the creatures have been slaughtered. Do we continue to attack the north?"
A rough and respectful voice sounded from behind the tall demon, a demon monarch wearing a cloak.
A necklace made of skulls of humans, demons, and other races hangs around his neck. Each skull represents a legendary professional who fell in his hands.
This is a powerful legendary demon lord.
However, even he behaved respectfully when facing the tall demon, and his eyes were full of awe.
The man known as Astaroth chuckled and looked away.
He raised his head and looked to the northwest.
In the far northwest, the sky is still blue.
The pure sky teased the heart of the tall demon, making the desire for destruction in his heart even stronger.
That is the direction Maple Moon leads freely.
He took a deep breath, hot sparks spurted out from his nostrils, and the huge pressure belonging to the demigod existence spread:
"No... leave part of the legion to continue attacking the human country, and the remaining main force changes the direction of attack."
"Our next main target is the northwest..."
"Capture the Maple Moon Territory and break through the Elf Forest!"
"The Goddess of Life has been sealed by Leviathan. Now is the time to destroy the Church of Life."
"As long as His power of faith is eliminated, this war... we will win."
