The leader of the Morning Sword Guard is named Teresa. She was born from the ruling family of an autonomous principality in Ramdong. She is a princess worthy of the name. She is not only noble and beautiful, she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a near-perfect
Noble ladies will undoubtedly become popular in political marriages.
But an accident still occurred. After she learned about the existence of the Sisters of the Black Flame Rose, she abandoned her family and fiancé the night before the engagement party, and used a trick to deceive her father. She successfully passed away at the age of only fourteen years old.
Arrive at the Inspection Church.
And in the subsequent training, she came to the fore. Whether it was swordsmanship, marksmanship, tactics, or religious knowledge, she was faster and more precise than others. And because she had a good foundation, she was also very good at interpersonal communication and management, so
He soon came to Velez's attention.
Later, after establishing the Holy Flame Order, Teresa's performance was also very impressive. In the first action, she saw through the enemy's strategy of attacking in the east and west in an attempt to escape. She took the lead in leading people to block the enemy's escape path, and killed the enemy alone.
A pastor involved in the sale of children was surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards, who captured the pastor alive and burned him at the stake.
It is said that whether she is killing people or executing executions, she always has a faint smile on her face.
Just like the look on her face when she looks at Beatrice now.
"Seven seconds."
Theresa smiled, her pink lips uttering gentle words.
"If you are seven seconds late, you will be punished, Miss Handy Hands."
The Handy Girl, Beatrice's nickname, is also a title she dislikes very much, because she is an orphan, coming from a dilapidated orphanage. The director deducted most of their food, so she can only rely on stealing to support herself.
and her younger siblings.
So she doesn’t know art, poetry, painting, or music. Her skills are survival, being silent, and sneaking in and picking locks. She would never mention these things again, but she still
It was inevitable that he showed some "skills", which eventually aroused the curiosity of the sisters around him.
"Nothing will happen next, sir."
Faced with her neither humble nor overbearing answer, Teresa said nothing more. At this moment, a crisp bell rang, which meant that Velez had finished bathing and changing clothes.
The sword guards immediately went to wait in front of the Notre Dame Palace, and soon a huge mechanical patrol car rumbled slowly out of the palace gate, flanked by hundreds of nuns in white holding incense burners.
The parade car looks like a ship as a whole, with a spacious deck in the front and a hollow shrine similar to a ship's bridge in the rear. The top of the shrine is a huge eagle emblem, and it is blocked by white curtains in all four directions. The four corners of the shrine are still standing.
Four older ladies wearing black robes. They are the four female officiants selected by Velez from among the servants of the war group. They are responsible for conveying and assisting in handling academic affairs. They are also her confidants, and they are vaguely visible through the gaps in the curtain.
Velez can be seen dressed in costume and holding a scepter.
Taking advantage of the moment when the team stopped, the sword guards quickly boarded the parade car and stood in their respective positions, while Theresa knelt on one knee in front of the shrine.
"Mother, the sword guards are here."
The Sisters of the Black Flame Rose all call the Virgin Mother, and their teachings are completely different from the battle sisters in the general sense of the empire. They are not the daughters of the emperor, but the daughters of the Virgin.
"Well, let's go."
"yes."
Theresa stood up, turned around, and suddenly raised her arms.
"Set off!"
The dull sound of the horn echoed in the air. As the parade car moved slowly, more and more people joined in. When it drove out of the Notre Dame Palace, other battle nuns from the Sisters of the Black Flame Rose were already lining up in front and behind it.
Okay, at the same time, as a substitute for the little angel, an ornithopter dressed as a giant eagle also hovered above the parade car, scattering a large number of flower petals.
When the tour bus arrived to inspect the cathedral's front square, it was already crowded with people. There was a pyramid-shaped four-story platform in the center of the square, with a huge arch made of cinnamon branches at the top of the platform - a very flammable
The plant is also regarded as a sacred tree by the Shengyan Order and is used in many religious ceremonies, including executions of burning.
As the parade car arrived, a female officiant walked behind the speaker and said in a deep voice:
"The Holy Mother is here!"
In an instant, everyone in the square, including bishops and dignitaries, bowed their heads and knelt down.
After the parade car arrived in front of the high platform, the choir standing at the lowest level of the high platform began to sing hymns, while the battle nuns erected a cordon between the crowd and the high platform. The bolt guns in their hands were ready to fire at any time, and then a
A wide handrail staircase extends from the procession car to the top of the platform, and the nuns on the second floor begin to recite passages from the Book of Holy Fire.
As the curtain opened, Velez appeared in everyone's sight, wearing a magnificent and even exaggerated dress. This ceremonial dress was made of a large number of treasures and gold, and the shape was very traditional and exaggerated Gothic style, so that her
Her entire face was almost completely covered by the towering collar, and the thick robe trailed behind her. Her slightly opened eyes and indifferent expression surrounded her with a sacred halo.
When she started walking, the two officiants held her arms in front, and the two dragged her robes from behind. The sword guards escorted their Virgin with solemn faces.
Two minutes later, Velez reached the top of the platform, and the sword guards were scattered on the third level.
"Always praise the God Emperor and thank Him for sending down the Holy Flame for us!"
Standing on the podium, Velez's steady voice was conveyed far away through the brass speakers in all directions, and everyone echoed -
Praise the God Emperor forever and thank Him for sending down the Holy Flame for us!
Then one of the officiants raised a branch of the already lit laurel tree, and Velez stepped down from the podium, took the branch, and gently lifted it toward the arch.
With a whoosh, the plant door turned into a flame door, followed by a unique flash of light.
The next second, everyone screamed in surprise.
A majestic giant strode out amid the interweaving of flashes and flames, as if a god had descended into the world.
The bright flames reflected his red and black special ceremonial armor, his red cape rolled in the fire, and a gold-plated iron halo hung on the back of his head. Even without saying a word, just one look was enough to make any mortal feel.
That kind of madness, tyranny, and energy!
Even if there were no guards, even if he was alone, when Soshiyang stood in the flames, he seemed to have everyone present in the palm of his hand. Whether it was his experience as a legion commander or the Phoenix King for many years, he
A strong aura of dominance has been formed unintentionally. Without any deliberate effort, his presence has already declared the existence of dominance.
Everyone at the scene, including the battle nuns and sword guards, almost tacitly bowed their heads to Soshiyang.
