Summer February 30th, Year 6 of the Magical Calendar.
The past month or so has been a month of coming out of darkness for the Xi Dijun camp.
After the Red Stone Emperor left the Eminor continent and went to the Frozen Fortress, the influence of the Emi Empire on the continent suddenly decreased. More and more small nobles in the marginal areas chose to surrender or give up their fiefdoms and move away. Within the occupied area, in
Under the pious persuasion of the Holy See's priests, more and more people have chosen to cooperate with the Holy See.
The war zone general Fan Zijue (oh, he is now an earl, and he is still hereditary), who once caused the most headaches in the western war zone, succeeded in sealing the dragon, but was taken away to the frozen continent by the Red Stone Emperor. This was very difficult for the Buryan Empire.
and the western theater of Fanos are all great news - although the northern federation of the Holy See will continue to have headaches, but... after all, it is a very distant thing.
Chi Aotian's army, which once made His Majesty the Pope restless in pain, has disappeared from the territory of the Holy See. In the Battle of Niu Yao, the two dragon knights of the Sweat-blooded Iron Cavalry made a late-night surprise attack, leaving at least nearly ten thousand executioners with blood on their hands.
Buried in the turbulent river, more than 6,000 corpses of soldiers were found in the lower reaches of the Sicilian River after the war alone. What about the ones that were not found? At least there are still this number. Monton collected ferries from the lower reaches, and in the waist of cattle
On the second day after the battle, they crossed the river to pursue the attack. However, Chi Aotian's army that had already crossed the river disappeared out of thin air - maybe this word is not accurate.
Not far from the north bank of the Sicily River is a hilly mountainous area. These mountains are the natural dividing line between the Huayu Plain and the great desert. Without this mountain range, the Huayu Plain might have been swallowed up by the desert. Rulers of all dynasties knew this
Due to the importance of mountains, it is strictly forbidden to cut down trees in mountainous areas. Under protection for thousands of years, this mountainous area has the densest virgin forest in the Pancontinent. It is certain that Chi Aotian's army must have hidden in this mountainous area.
Xiuda led the three dragon knights and spent four days checking almost every part of the mountain range close to the treetops, but they could not find the expeditionary force.
Subsequently, Monton obtained the consent of His Majesty the Pope and sent 20,000 people to divide more than 5,000 fire points and set fire to all the forests that had not been disturbed for thousands of years! The fire burned for more than 20 consecutive days before it was extinguished! Both Monton and the Pope were
I am convinced that no life can survive the 20-day fire! The Holy See’s serious concern is no longer there!
On the northwest front, the war is also going smoothly!
Amy, Daqingshan may have the potential to become the best general of a generation, but there is no need to worry about it now. Marshal Dahino promises to completely end the war before the first snowfall in the Messis Mountains this year!
The combined power of the three magisters has indeed turned the impossible into a miracle! The huge ice and snow flying city smashes thousands of ice cubes from the sky into Hamburg every day! At this time, the first city wall has been destroyed
Completely destroyed! The entire city of Hamburg is covered with ice more than one meter thick! Of course, because it is also covered with ice, the Fanos army did not occupy the first city wall. In fact, there is no need for this.
.
In the first few days, there were dragon knights in Hamburg City who took off to harass the floating city. However, as more and more dragon knights and pseudo-dragon knights were transferred from southern Xinjiang to Hamburg City, Fanos was at its peak outside Hamburg City.
There was one sacred dragon knight, six dragon knights, and more than two hundred pseudo-dragon knights. Such combat power was beyond the ability of the dragon knights in Hamburg City to cope with. Later, Hamburg City simply did not send any dragon knights to fight! Of course,
What surprised the senior officers was that Da Qingshan, the most powerful dragon knight in history, had never summoned the Green Dragon Envoy.
In the current city of Hamburg, except for some catapults on the cliff behind the city that are still usable, all other catapults have been destroyed.
Dahino is demolishing the second city wall. Unfortunately, the magisters still cannot compare with the giant dragon in their ability to control large-scale magic for a long time. Each time the floating city takes off, they can only fight for four to five hours at most, and every battle
Finally, you must rest for a day before fighting again. Otherwise... the city of Hamburg would have been razed to the ground!
Now, it's only a matter of time - Dahino has sealed the mines under Hamburg City, and the Marshal has even deployed troops in the valleys on both sides of Hamburg City to annihilate all enemies!
Everyone is convinced that as long as the city of Hamburg is captured, the war on the entire Eminor continent will come to an end, and except for Tongyunguan and Jielin, all other cities will surrender without a fight!
On the third day after Chi Aotian's expeditionary force left Rhode City, the construction of the "Temple" began.
This may be a very strange phenomenon. Even when the Executioner Corps was at its most rampant, in Ulu and in major cities in southern Xinjiang, except for His Majesty the Pope, all the clergy in the Holy See always believed that - the Holy See
They will surely defeat the evil enemy and achieve final victory. They are convinced that His Majesty, the Supreme God of Light, will never abandon them and will definitely demonstrate his unparalleled power in heaven and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop. Although, for the time being, the enemy seems to be very powerful.
, that is just a small test that the Lord God puts on his slaves.
During the attack and defense of Rhode City, the clergy who were purging the collaborators and rebellious people in southern Xinjiang led the newly formed teaching troops to thousands of miles to reinforce Rhode City in order to express their pious beliefs to the Temple of Light.
Of course, on the way, due to various reasons, such as heavy rain, dry weather, etc., these troops "trudged hard" 200 miles away from Rhode City. It was not until Chi Aotian left Rhode City that nearly ten thousand soldiers gathered in Luo
At the foot of Rhodes City. At this time, His Majesty the Pope decided to build a magnificent church on the original site of Rhodes City. When more than 40,000 religious soldiers who came successively heard this order, they all cheered with joy - as loyal believers of the Lord God, in the
Given the choice between pursuing the evil pagans or building an unparalleled cathedral for the Lord God, all believers will choose the latter.
Fortunately, the transportation in Luede City is developed. The clergy mobilized a total of 100,000 war horses and 400,000 cattle and sheep from the hinterland of the Huayu Plain to participate in the construction of the temple. They also mined large stones from the shores of the Langcang River in southern Xinjiang, and from the newly pacified areas.
A large amount of wood was cut down in the original place where the prairie elves lived, and all the manpower and material resources in southern Xinjiang were gathered together. At its peak, the number of civilians participating in the construction reached 250,000!
In less than 2 months, this world-famous cathedral was fully completed!
His Majesty the Pope personally invited Renoir and many newly crowned kings to attend the completion and consecration ceremony of the temple. On February 29th, the two cardinal archbishops in charge of the completion ceremony already had 300 people on their sign-in book.
Many kings left their signatures.
Summer February 30th.
Last night, His Majesty the Pope arranged for six great water magicians to disperse the rain clouds in the sky with powerful magic. At five o'clock in the morning, for the first time in more than 20 days, the red sun showed its smiling face in the sky.
At this time, millions of people had gathered outside the former Rhodes City. Nearly 60,000 religious soldiers were barely maintaining order. The red archbishop continued to send out the relatively few bishops in his hands to stabilize the agitated emotions of the believers.
!
At nine o'clock in the morning, at the moment when the two red archbishops were so nervous that they were about to collapse - in the distance, right where the fiery sun rose, bursts of loud dragon roars came from between heaven and earth. In the sky on all sides,
Whether it was white clouds or bright clouds in the distance, they instantly turned into red clouds.
Red clouds were stirring and flying in the sky, rushing toward the temple from the east and west directions, gathering over the temple and gradually descending. Finally, the infinite clouds formed a huge cloud curtain at a height of 50 meters in front of the temple!
As the dragon's roar became louder and louder, a huge red dragon suddenly burst out of the clouds above his head, its huge wings motionless, and its almost perfect dragon body shot to the bottom of the red cloud curtain like lightning, making the believers
What was shocking was that as the dragon descended, its huge body shrank. The moment it was about to land, the dragon slowed down and turned into a red-haired young man. The dragon knight on the dragon flew to the ground and lifted up his knight helmet.
, revealing long golden hair and an unusually handsome young face.
"King of Central!"
"The great Majesty Mianyang!"
Countless believers in front of the temple cheered!
At this moment, a pure white light flew out from behind the temple like a rainbow and slowly fell under the cloud curtain.
His Majesty the Pope seems to be descending from the sky on a white carpet!
"Long live His Majesty the Pope!"
"Long live the Temple of Light!"
"Praise you, great Lord!"
…
Millions of believers were excited at this moment!
His Majesty the Pope, wearing a white cassock, stood five meters above the ground: "Faithful believers of the Lord God..." His Majesty the Pope's cordial and charming voice resounded through the sky: "Let us praise the Lord! It is the Lord, in
When the evil executioner is wreaking havoc on our beautiful homeland, give us the confidence to win! The Lord says, as long as you truly believe in Me, I will definitely give you the final victory! The Lord says, the current enemies are just passing clouds, protecting each of you.
With the light in your heart, you will surely reach the beautiful paradise I built for you; the Lord said that everyone is born with their own original sin. Don’t fall into all the hardships in front of you. Believe in me devoutly. Everything is arranged by me for you.
If you pray sincerely, you will receive it!"
Every time His Majesty the Pope spoke a word, the holy white light rose one meter into the sky. Finally, the boundless white light enveloped the entire temple from all directions.
"Believers of the Lord God, we must know that the sunshine and rain we receive every day are selfless rewards from the Lord. As a lucky people who receive much attention from the Lord, what do we need to do for the Lord?" His Majesty the Pope paused for a moment.
After a moment: "Yes, I heard the answer from each of your hearts. The Lord does not need us to do anything for Him. He only needs us to believe in Him devoutly! I believe that He will arrange everything for us!"
"As servants of the Lord God, we have built this extremely grand church. We hope that His Majesty the Lord God's Temple of Light and his close friend His Majesty the Temple of War will use this place as a place for them to demonstrate their holy power." A white light emitted from His Majesty the Pope's hand, and Renoir relaxed.
Slowly rising in the white holy light: "His Royal Highness Renault, the Central Holy King, is a descendant of His Majesty the God of War. He has the noblest bloodline in the God Realm. Today, we will witness here the two His Highnesses, the God of Light and the God of War.
When the work is completed, God’s people, this will be your greatest glory in this life!”
At this time, the Plain of Flowers was completely boiling. The excited crowd threw all their hats into the sky. Countless tears flashed under the bright sun. The believers knelt down devoutly, pressed their hearts to the ground, and kissed them with their own lips.
To this holy ground!
His Majesty the Pope and His Majesty Renoir smiled and gestured to each other. Then, the Pope waved his right hand slightly, and the holy white light in front of his eyes dispersed to both sides, revealing 39 steps. The two emperors landed at the same time, followed the steps, and walked up step by step.
Went to the front desk of the main hall.
Immediately, His Majesty the Pope waved his hands again, and the white light mist in five places on the bluestone platform flashed away, revealing five double-sided drums with a diameter of one meter! Each drum head has a different color.
The five-sided drum is placed on a drum stand carved by five pairs of hands - five pairs of skeleton hands, either thick, slender or slender, each different but exquisite and lifelike!
On both sides of each drum stand hangs a pair of drumsticks.
What’s surprising is that the drumstick looks like the leg bone of some kind of animal!
Yes, that’s right! These are animal leg bones. Not only are the drumsticks leg bones, but also the lifelike drum stand is made of animal hand bones. Even the drum heads of different colors are also made of animal skins.
become.
And these so-called animals are the pagans in the world who dare to rebel against the Holy See!
There is no need to surprise anyone. The most cruel thing in the world is the religious war initiated by the Holy See. In the history of the Pan-Continent, countless religions have arisen over tens of millions of years. Each religion eventually reached its peak with hundreds of people.
Ji's small church suffered a disaster as a stepping stone. No war between human empires or wars between different races can be more cruel and destructive than religious wars! Even a war like the Demon-Martial War that has lasted for thousands of years cannot
Compared with religious wars, in the end, the magic-free alliance at least left a legacy for the magic empire. Such things cannot be seen in religious wars!
For heretics (what a broad term and the easiest to condemn), any Holy See will definitely eradicate them, and the heretic babies in the cradle will be thrown into the fire and burned to death; in religious wars, no matter how many heretics escape,
Wherever they go, even to the ends of the earth or even to isolated overseas islands, devout believers will definitely pursue them to the end! In wars between human empires, destruction is rarely the goal, but in religious wars, it is not just physical destruction,
All books, all ideas, and all pagan buildings that can be seen are listed as being destroyed!
On February 30, summer of the sixth year of the Magic Calendar, the five drums on the front stage of the temple were based on the five races on the mainland that were still resisting the favor of the Holy See!
On the middle side is the Queen of the Blood Night, the imperial capital, which fell to Scambrai. A descendant of the royal family is also Prince Blue River, the brother of the Red Stone Emperor. This royal descendant, who is known for his bravery, retreated into the prince's palace in order to protect his family and several other royal descendants.
He used his bare hands to resist nearly a hundred Xuan Qing Earthly Dragon mercenaries in the tunnel leading to the outside of the city, but was captured after exhaustion.
The first side on the left is one of the members of the Prairie Elf Elders! After the Rhodes City Incident, the Holy See officially declared war on the Prairie Elf Kingdom, and detached some troops from the Fanos Legion of the original mercenary empire to attack. As a last resort, the Prairie Elf
They abandoned the land they had lived in for generations and retreated step by step towards the fairy forest. In the process, in order to contain the Holy See's pursuers, the two elders led thousands of tribesmen to resist. In the end, the 12th-ranked elder Tianxiang was imprisoned.
On the second side from the left is Harry, the chief of a small tribe on the border of the Holy Desert Empire. Facing the kingship orders from Scambrai and Uru, Harry tore up the kingship orders three times in a row and loudly rebuked the Holy See for its sinister intentions. He was eventually dismissed by the Holy See.
A thorn in the side of the Holy Desert Empire!
On the first side on the right is an unknown mountain dwarf warrior who accompanied the Great Elder, His Highness Horns, to Hamburg to participate in the offensive and defensive battle, and was captured under the city of Hamburg.
On the second side from the right, it is the Druid elder Li Gang who went to the mountain dwarf kingdom to participate in the coronation ceremony of the new king. After Li Gang ascended the throne to His Highness Huo Lu, he led the envoy back to the Druid tribe and was rebelled by the empire at the Sanggan River.
He was detained by the army and later handed over to the Holy See clergy. If the Holy See had obtained a valuable treasure, it used Elder Ligang as a hostage to threaten the Druid tribe to believe in the Holy Holy See. As a result, the Druid leader was angrily reprimanded! Subsequently, the Druids organized rescues three times.
He even transformed into the king of the forest like a giant bear, but...
Using human skin as a drum is what His Majesty the Pope meant - Chi Aotian's northern expedition, nearly a million people died, this temple is used to worship these millions of resentful souls! It can only be made with these heavyweights
Only a big drum can calm the hearts of innocent believers! What makes His Majesty the Pope regretful is that Chi Aotian was not caught, otherwise...
Looking at the five-sided drums, Renault's face flashed with a trace of unbearability... In this world, many things are really strange. For example, once they are tainted with religious colors, they become completely uncontrollable! As for the idea of His Majesty the Pope,
Renoir, Xiuda and others directly expressed their opposition. However, the piety shown by the fanatical believers, especially the red archbishops, was simply incomprehensible to the two brave men. Whether it was Xiuda or Renoir, they both
I am convinced that if this matter cannot proceed because of their opposition, they will be assassinated by fanatical Vatican believers! And this so-called fanatical Vatican believer may even be a child who seems to know nothing.
.
Privately, Xiuda expressed dissatisfaction with this matter: "What kind of pope is this? Does he think he is the sky? Does he think he is the emperor? What the hell! His hands are stained with blood, but his face looks extremely holy.
.What a bitch and..."
Renault had no choice but to interrupt Xiuda.
Renault doesn't think so. Many things have been out of control! At this time, Renault really misses the time when he was still a mercenary. Although there is no such honor, he will never do so many things that go against himself.
Things of will.
The Pope coughed lightly, pulling Renault back from his thoughts. According to His Majesty the Pope's prior arrangements, the two of them were now going to beat the five-faced human skin drum to pacify the innocent souls in the temple.
The two people looked at each other and walked slowly towards the big drum in the middle.
At this moment, a faint black light floated from under the big drum stand with holy light shining in the middle, and then, a little bit of faint black mist floated under the other four drum stands at the same time.
The two emperors were shocked at the same time!
The black smoke automatically floated upward without wind. Slowly, the black smoke gathered together. More and more black smoke... no... to be precise, it was the black light weaving and blending on the drum in the middle.
Slowly... slowly... it turned into a black circle with a diameter of five meters... Unknown forces surged in the black circle, and it seemed that it was about to erupt.
Everyone in front of the entire temple was stunned... No one could understand what was happening...
Suddenly, six blood-red bright spots flashed in the black circle, and each bright spot shot out a similarly blood-red light. The six rays of light and the six bright spots formed a six-pointed star barrier...
Along the red light pillar of the barrier, dark black air flow spurted out. At this moment, Renault seemed to see a small sickle flying out with the black air flow...
…
February 30, summer of the sixth year of the Magical Calendar, was a node. On this day, an unprecedented event broke out. Therefore, most historians of later generations regarded this day as the watershed between the early and middle stages of the War of the Gods.
