Arundel nodded and said, “First, it’s the City of Light’s city defense. Commander McGrady, how’s the City of Light’s city defense?”

Hearing the archbishop’s words, a commander who was responsible for the city’s defense stood up and replied, “Reporting to the archbishop, all the paladins in the vicinity are rushing to the nearest main city. When the time comes, the City of Light will have three-point-three billion six hundred eighty-five thousand paladins, of which two point eight billion are high-level soldiers.

“The city wall in the south is damaged to a certain extent. I’ve already sent people to repair it. It’s estimated that the repair will take two hours.

“Currently, the city has seven thousand two hundred and thirty defense towers, of which eight hundred are Legendary-grade and one thousand five hundred are Epic-grade... After testing, all of them can be put into use!

“Currently, the paladins are following the second defense plan and setting up traps around the city. A total of thirty-two thousand high-level traps and eight million high-level traps have been set up...”

Commander McGrady said a lot of things, summarizing the city defense information of the City of Light.

When Li Cheng heard this news, the corner of his mouth involuntarily twitched. The City of Light was still as terrifying as before.

Three billion paladins. This number was enough to make many shrines blush. Moreover, they had limited time to prepare, and a large portion of the paladins was unable to return to the City of Light.

One had to know that the paladins were scattered in every corner of the lost continent. Under the command of Commander Vic, the paladins were sent to the nearest main cities to assist in the defense. The number of paladins returning to the City of Light was probably less than one in 10,000.

The number of defensive buildings was also frighteningly large. Even the imperial capital of the NPCs definitely did not have such a defensive force.

Of course, compared to Li Cheng’s territory, such a defensive force was still many times weaker.

After listening to McGrady’s report, everyone present nodded and waited for the bishop’s next words.

In fact, from the beginning, no one had ever worried about the safety of the City of Light. The two bishops looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds. Finally, Bishop Meyev spoke.

“I’ll leave the defense of the City of Light to you. The only difficult part now is...

“The hundred twenty villages in the west, three hundred villages in the north, and the residents of twenty-six towns in the East have all come to us for protection.

“And the number of refugees coming to the City of Light is almost over the limit. What ideas do you have?”

As soon as Meyev finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent. The leaders had solemn expressions on their faces.

The main force of the church had all gone to the east to fight against the undead. They would not be able to return within a short period of time.

At this moment, Li Cheng’s expression was very calm. He had almost understood what the two bishops meant. Were they not here to count on him?

As expected, within a few seconds, Bishop Meyev’s gaze fell on Li Cheng. He said, “Earl Netherworld, we hope that you can take in a portion of the refugees.”

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze fell on Li Cheng. Some of the commanders frowned slightly. Could Earl Netherworld do it?

Could a Lord that had not even lasted more than seven days help in this matter?

One had to know that this monster siege was probably the largest they had encountered in decades.

Li Cheng’s expression did not change as he said calmly, “Bishops, I’m just a puny tier-three Lord, and my territory’s only at level forty. I’m very weak. I can’t even protect myself. I’m afraid I can’t help to take in more refugees.”

Hearing this, the two bishops’ lips twitched. They were a little impressed by Li Cheng’s words.

Very weak?

‘Don’t think that we don’t know about the Epic-grade city walls and your countless Legendary-grade defense facilities. You’re telling us that you’re weak?!’

At this time, the silent Asilia pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to say something, Li Cheng suddenly grabbed her hand from under the table and scratched her palm a few times.

If he did not stop her at this moment, if she were to spill the beans, how would he be able to openly blackmail a few bishops?

Asilia’s delicate face instantly turned red when Li Cheng grabbed her palm.

The two bishops and commander Vic exchanged glances when they saw this scene.

The Church of Light naturally did not restrict love. Could it be that this count had a special relationship with the Saintess?

It was no wonder. With the speed of Earl Netherworld’s growth, it was not strange for him to gain the favor of the Saintess.

They did not think too much about it. In the end, it was Commander Vic who spoke. “Earl Netherworld, this... If you have any difficulties, the church can support you.”

Hearing this, Li Cheng’s eyes lit up. He was waiting for him to say that. He did not expect Vic to be so tactful.

Li Cheng thought for a moment before saying, “My army’s combat ability is relatively strong, but it’s very easy for them to get injured. I lack some healing units...”

At this point, Li Cheng paused for a moment and continued, “I hope the church can provide me with some Holy Light Priests.”

Hearing this, Vic and the two Bishops’ hearts skipped a beat. They already knew that Li Cheng was asking for too much. However, they had no choice but to help.

Vic took a deep breath and asked, “How many do you want? Didn’t the Saintess just gather a batch of priests for you?”

Not long ago, Asilia had brought a few thousand priests to Li Cheng. Everyone in the City of Light knew about this.

Li Cheng’s expression was still the same. He casually said, “I’ll need two million first.”

When everyone heard this, the entire hall fell silent.

Two million priests? To think that he would say such a thing, he might as well kill them all.

At this moment, Asilia spoke up. “Earl Netherworld, we really don’t have that many!”

Then, she thought for a moment and said, “Five hundred thousand. We can at most gather another five hundred thousand Holy Light Priests for you!”

Hearing Asilia’s words, Vic and the two bishops’ hearts immediately threatened to collapse. They covered their faces, looking as if they were about to die.

It’s over, it’s all over, it’s all gone!

The Saintess had always stood on the church’s side, but the Saintess who was in love was no longer part of their family. There was a reason why the church had decided not to let the Saintess participate in the Battle Conference.

Vic and the two bishops wondered if something like this happened in the church a long time ago. Otherwise, why would there be such a rule in the first place?

They had also seen that the war was fierce this time around, so they had called Asilia to partake in the meeting. If they had known that this would be the result, they would not have allowed her to participate in the war meeting even if they were beaten to death.

After the end of this meeting, the two bishops planned to reinstate the rule that disallowed Saintesses from participating in future war meetings, to remind those in the future that this mistake should not be made again!
