Chapter 134: Chapter 106: Power Comparison Across Factions, The Sacrificial Ceremony Begins

“Apart from the Li Family, which must be dealt with, the remaining Dawn and Locomotive villages should be decided based on the situation.”

“Although they advance and retreat together with the Li Family, they will not completely side with them initially.”

Lin Feng spoke lightly, hinting at his own speculation:

“Taking down two Tier Two Evolvers and uprooting the entire leadership of the Li Family is no easy task. Father Su An has already found a feasible approach for this.”

“To compensate for the Church’s weakness in combat power.”

Through his observations over the past few days, Lin Feng had roughly understood the Church’s organizational structure and personnel strength.

Overall, although the Church holds an advantage in high-end power, having one more Tier Two Evolver,

the most noticeable gap between the two sides is not in numbers.

But in their actual combat power.

Just like how a Rock-Horned Horse of the same level cannot single-handedly defeat a Desert Wolf.

The Evolution Level is only a guarantee of the minimum strength, not a specific representation of combat power.

The Evolvers in the Church, born through surgery, cannot defeat those who rely on their own strength and risk their lives on the wasteland.

There is a huge gap in practical combat experience between them.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the local great families in Oasis Town dare to risk launching a rebellion to seize power.

Just like the Patriarch Li, who could kill a Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse back in the day, his power would only be stronger now.

In this context, the choice of Governor Han Tao is particularly important.

After all, he is the only new generation Tier Two Evolver in the past ten years, and considering the millennial lifespan of a Tier Two Awakener, he is far from reaching middle age and is at the peak of his vitality.

Given his origin from the Deserters, his combat power should be the strongest among his peers.

He can completely influence the current power balance between the local great families and the Church.

Thinking of this, before Shen Yue could ask, Lin Feng took the lead in asking:

“Lord Bishop, and the four Priests, how old are they and what is their overall strength?”

Shen Yue frowned slightly. She intended to refute Lin Feng’s bias against the Church’s combat power, but on second thought, it seemed he wasn’t wrong either.

The true armed forces of the Church come from Combat Priests and Temple Knights.

And in the Oasis Town Church branch, only more than forty Tier One Combat Priests were sent from the Holy City headquarters, with only four Elite Combat Priests at Late Tier One.

Although they can match Tier Two Early Stage Evolvers under the blessing of weapons, equipment, and the Lord’s radiance, their strength is still a notch below the Tier Two Patriarchs of several great families.

As for the Bishop and the four Priests, apart from the newly employed Father Su An, the rest are all over five hundred years old, especially Lord Bishop…

Shen Yue learned from the chronicles in the Church archives that this Deputy Bishop was promoted to Novice Priest as early as eight hundred years ago.

With the strength of a Grand Priest, although he is not in his twilight years, he has reached the late stage of a Tier Two Evolver’s lifespan.

Among the four Tier Two Priests, the strongest in combat is Father Wan Hai, responsible for escorting the Pilgrimage Convoy, but he must ensure the convoy reaches the Holy City smoothly, delivering vital restricted area observation reports and returning essential materials to the Oasis.

Without him, only Father Su An among the remaining three has experience traveling the wasteland and participating in battles.

But how can he, alone, face the three major clans and four experienced Tier Two Evolvers?

So Shen Yue swallowed back her retort.

Looking at the calm man in front of her, Shen Yue took a deep breath and roughly recounted what she knew.

After speaking, she asked worriedly:

“Does Father Su An’s plan have any assurance? Can it withstand the joint attack of the three major clans?”

After listening to her description, Lin Feng frowned deeply.

The situation seemed worse than he had anticipated.

No wonder Lord Bishop and Father Su An were eager for him to stay.

Although Lin Feng was currently only Mid-Tier One, his combat experience and, most importantly, his superpower, the firearms superpower…

Is enough to easily suppress ordinary Evolvers of the same level upon evolving to Late Tier One, or to hold back a Tier Two Evolver’s assault.

Especially in the decisive battle between the two sides, Lin Feng alone could rival a mobile artillery unit.

The firepower and long-range attack capability he brings to the Holy Spring Sect might be more significant than a melee Tier Two Evolver.

As for taking over Nongzhuang Village and the Yan Jiao Horse Industry, it was just the big promise made to Lin Feng in advance.

But there’s no better candidate than Lin Feng for the takeover.

Because he, though with limited power, remains at odds with the residual members of Nongzhuang Village.

By the time Lin Feng develops his own great family like the Li Family and completes his full control over Nongzhuang Village, it would already be two or three hundred years later.

The Church’s leadership plans far into the future, and Lin Feng increasingly feels it’s wise not to get involved.

“There is some assurance, but it depends on whether the Desert Hunting Squad I lead can complete the task assigned by Father Su An smoothly…”

Lin Feng spoke slowly, continuing:

“This is nothing to worry about.”

“If you want to take this opportunity to change your fate, your current Early Stage Tier One strength is definitely not enough. At least mid-tier is required to qualify for participating in the battle and playing an important role in it.”

“In this struggle about to sweep over the entire Oasis Town, Early Stage Tier One Evolvers will only become cannon fodder, while Mid-stage Evolvers might still have a certain role.”
