"Ding..." I don't know where the first sound of weapons falling to the ground came from. Then, more and more weapons stained with the blood of believers of God were thrown to the ground, and more and more rebels stared blankly.
He knelt down on the ground and buried his head deeply, but did not dare to touch the ground.
On the city wall in the distance, the rebels looked at the flames soaring into the sky in surprise. Although thirty generations of people in the desert empire have never received the blessings of the Fire Temple, the Zoroastrian priests have never experienced it in the past thousand years.
Stopped preaching, almost every sand
Believers in the Desert Empire all know that there once was a great god above their heads, and it was this god who gave this place to their ancestors. When this god's blessings spread throughout the Desert Empire, the twelve towers at the top of Bombay City were
In this way, a blazing fire burned day and night.
When the holy fire rises into the sky again, there is only one answer: the grace of the Fire Temple will once again envelope the Holy Desert Empire. Then... the Holy Holy See, which had previously encouraged rebellion with God's righteousness, immediately became the enemy of the Fire Temple.
It is one thing to rebel against the kingdom, but it is another thing completely to rebel against the Fire God, one of the twelve main gods. For the former, Jia Zuyuyong dared to try it, but for the latter, let alone trying it, he even felt it in his heart
It takes immense courage to even think about it!
Pieces of rebels gave up resistance.
Of course, the officers of the Desert Empire who were attacking the city also saw the huge changes on the city tower. Although they did not see with their own eyes what happened in the city, they had guessed it just from what the two elf knights said.
The general story of what happened. Seeing the infinite power once again manifested under the Fire Temple, the officers shouted, "Accept the blessing from the Fire Temple." They took the lead and rushed forward. The three sand lizard fantasy beast knights directly led the sand lizards to rush forward.
city wall.
Immediately, the city gate was opened...
According to later official historical records:
In the autumn of Year 6 of the Magical Calendar, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the Desert Empire.
In order to plan this uprising, the three popes of the Holy See prepared for forty-one years.
In the past forty-one years, a total of 7 cardinal archbishops have sneaked into Mumbai to preach sacred doctrines and develop believers on a large scale. More than 80% of the desert residents in the four major urban areas of Mumbai, the west and the south, have converted to believe in the Temple of Light.
.No less than 30% of the people in the other two urban areas have given up Zoroastrianism.
In the fifth year of the Magical Calendar, the two red archbishops jointly visited the four chiefs of the Desert Empire Chiefs Federation.
The fact at the time was that these four giants lacked interest in becoming a titular king recommended by the Federation of Chiefs. After half a year of negotiations and mutual concessions, they finally reached a consensus - to launch a riot, overthrow the current king, and use the Holy See to
became the state religion and recognized His Majesty the Pope as having territorial authority over the empire. Subsequently, Meng
Among the 50,000 defenders who bought the city, in addition to the direct troops of the two princes, nearly 20,000 defenders were loyal to the Holy Empire. The Holy See promised that after overthrowing the original king, it would move from the existing national boundaries of the Desert Empire to the north, west, and
Each of the south was 50 miles away. On this basis, the four princes of the four counties were conferred, and the four chiefs became the founding heads of the four counties, and their descendants were hereditary.
As far as the actual situation is concerned, the execution of this riot was quite smooth.
Under the instigation of the priests, the residents who turned to believe in the Holy See gradually expelled the priests of the Zoroastrian See in the diocese and demolished the original churches. The Zoroastrian See, which had been declining for thousands of years, originally hoped that the king could come forward, but the successive kings were constrained by
The Federation of Chiefs, the Three-Party Dispute, the Holy See
Its power continued to grow. After 5 years of the Magical Calendar, the Chiefs' Federation simply turned their opinions towards the Holy See. In just four or five months, all the fire worshiping churches in Mumbai were burned down and demolished, except for the Hall of the God of Fire.
, replaced by dozens of more splendid holy churches.
The troops directly under the crown prince Afti are composed of disciples from the tribe where the royal family belongs. They are second to none in terms of combat strength and loyalty. Therefore, when this military force left Mumbai to carry out the Phantom Beast mission, the four giants of the Federation of Chiefs believed that this was an absolutely unstoppable move.
A good opportunity, and the five high-ranking officials of the Holy Vatican after their second advancement
The senior priests are also very eager to have an opportunity to show their talents to His Majesty the Pope - to be more precise, these senior priests believe that after forty years of hard work, it is now a matter of time, whether it is to overthrow the king's rule or completely
There is no problem at all in eradicating the remnants of Zoroastrianism.
The rebellion in Bombay City is strikingly similar to that of Scambrai. First, a series of minor incidents such as fires, looting, and armed fighting occurred in various districts of the city. The troops loyal to the king were detached in one branch, and the believers of the Holy See rushed into the streets.
Fortresses were set up everywhere and the whole city was paralyzed.
The four chiefs then commanded troops loyal to them to attack the palace. The second prince, His Highness Bin Laden, commanded the palace guards to resist all night. In the end, the palace fell and the most brave man in the desert empire died in battle. All the royal family members, including His Majesty the King, were captured.
.
Until His Highness Afti appeared, the rebellion was going very smoothly. When the four chiefs heard that the king's son had returned, they even had time to arrange for more than 10,000 soldiers to ambush everywhere, preparing to capture Afti in one fell swoop.
What no one expected was that His Highness Afti did not come back on his own. The troops of the Holy Holy See system won a decisive victory on the vast Huayu Plain. Although the Chi Aotian expeditionary force was seriously injured, such a force was completely unlucky.
The elite troops with murderous intent were actually crowded into the desert empire.
It was absolutely impossible for Chi Aotian's expeditionary force to defeat the 100,000-strong steel army on the Huayu Plain. However, when they arrived at the Desert Empire, this defeated army became the key force to reverse the occupation in one fell swoop.
What makes everyone even more unexpected is that the sacred fire of the Fire Temple that has been extinguished for more than 1,000 years has burned again! For the soldiers and civilians of the Desert Empire, they originally believed the words of the Holy Vatican Priest - the Fire Temple had already abandoned this place, and now the Desert Empire
It is already under the rule of the Temple of Light. Once the blazing holy fire is ignited, no resident of the Desert Empire dares to show any disrespect to the Temple of Fire.
Scholars of later generations of religious studies believe that, referring to the miraculous experience of Miss Sha Ruo, the "near-god", the reason why Zoroastrianism has gone through thousands of years of atonement is not that the followers of the Fire Temple gave up on their followers, but that the followers of the Fire Temple were imprisoned underground. When the fire
After the temple returned to the Huodexing Palace again, His Highness immediately resumed his influence on the lower realm, and that bizarre scene happened in the Zoroastrian Square.
In the Vulcan Square, more than 400 priests of the Holy See, especially the three high-ranking priests who had been transferred for the second time, still tried to resist. All the soldiers and civilians who knelt on the ground and prayed to the gods to forgive their crimes looked at them like idiots.
They challenged the authority of the Fire God Temple in the Vulcan Square without any need for the Vulcan priests to do anything. The humanoid flame magic elves transformed on the fire pillars danced with fire chains at no cost.
In such a short time, all these heretics were defeated - you know, the Vulcan Palace was originally located on a volcanic crater, and was blessed by the Huode Star Palace again. Within this range, it is equivalent to a huge fire barrier.
Not to mention holy priests, even if there are a few powerful magister-level men who come to the Vulcan Square, they will only increase the performance of these fire magic elves who are directly under the Fire Temple.
This rebellion is the famous "Millennium Atonement Rebellion" in history.
The once prosperous Zoroastrianism was severely damaged after this rebellion. Only 17 red priests became survivors. They are the most famous "Seventeen Elders of Zhongxing" in the history of Zoroastrianism. The former great priests of Zoroastrianism were physically sanctified.
, enjoyed its own hall alone in the Fire Temple. Adam Ping, the 14-year-old disciple of the high priest, became the new high priest.
His Majesty the King of the Desert Empire abdicated in pain due to the death of his beloved son in the war. His Highness Afti became the new generation king. At the same time, because of his merits in protecting the religion, he was specially allowed to rule the country for thirty years by the new generation of high priests of Zoroastrianism, and the throne was directly passed on.
Three generations.
The real power organization of the Chiefs Federation was abolished, and the right to recommend the king returned to the hands of Zoroastrianism. In order to maintain a minimum respect for hundreds of tribal chiefs, a group of chiefs and elders was established, but it no longer had any actual rights.
immediately……
The four chiefs who participated in the rebellion were executed!
Within the Desert Empire, 13,762 clergymen of the Holy See were abandoned and were stoned to pulp by hundreds of thousands of angry people!
All officers involved in the rebellion, a total of 2,537, were executed!
Of course, death is not the most cruel punishment in religious wars.
The Zoroastrian traitor Udrada was chained to a fire pillar in the southwest corner of the Vulcan Palace Square. The red fire pillar continued to burn the sinner's body, and the fire chain in the hands of the flame elves tortured him day and night. In order to prevent him from accidentally dying.
, a small priest who had just joined the religion brought water to cool him down. After 29 years and 182 days, Yudrada was freed from the pain in the world.
Also unforgivable are the desert peoples who converted to the Holy See. In the end, these people were all exiled to the hinterland of the desert - the Saha Zone. From the day of the rebellion, they will atone for their sins in this place with a surface temperature as high as 80°C for thousands of years.
, after a thousand years, their descendants will be allowed to return to the desert peoples. From this day on, these people who have redeemed their sins will become the "tribe".
If there are vested interests in this rebellion, it is only the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force. Chi Aotian, Qingluo, and Tayang, three people of different races, are hailed as the "Three Heroes of ZTE" by the desert people. In the Fire God Temple
They have their own place. The expeditionary force was awarded the "Legion of Honor of the Nearest God" by the Zoroastrian Church. They were rewarded with gold coins in large quantities and were the first to arrive at the fire.
The elves in the temple even had the title of the Desert Empire. In addition, what made the officers of the expeditionary force particularly happy was that the Desert Empire military headquarters transferred 10,000 of the best camels, and even four camels.
The sand lizards prepared by senior officers and dozens of small ground dragons living on the edge of the desert. The expeditionary force finally regained its due mobility.
Chi Aotian and the other officers originally wanted to decline, at least to be polite, but in a country where politics and religion are unified, all this is completely unnecessary. Everyone must uphold the will of God, of course, including the guests.
What needs special explanation is that the Xinghan sword, which was missed by Lord Qingluo, mysteriously appeared in front of the statue under the Fire Temple after the rebellion was suppressed. The reason why it is called bizarre is that this sword actually turned into a
Bright red, and the size is actually there
If it weren't for the special mark on the hilt of the long sword, Chi Aotian wouldn't have been able to recognize that this long sword turned out to be Xinghan. Every time this mutated long sword was swung, it was filled with incomparable scorching heat.
Cutting on wooden equipment will leave burnt black marks.
However, the senior officers of the expeditionary force all realized that there must be other more important purposes for the Zoroastrian Church to treat people with courtesy. It seems that this is indeed the case.
"Respected General Chi, respected Mr. Tayang, respected General Su Wen." Fourteen-year-old Adam has officially succeeded to the throne as the new generation of high priest, but he holds the highest respect for anyone on any occasion, which should be
It is the highest state of clergy: "Greed jumps in the hearts of evil people like the devil. These priests who tamper with the will of the gods actually launch inter-religious wars in the name of the Lord God. The Fire Temple always reminds us that the shame of this blood can only be
Wash it with blood."
After the rebellion was put down, the expeditionary force received sufficient supplies. In only about a month, its combat strength was quickly restored, especially that of the Black Dragon Knights. Excellent military camels were far more powerful than war horses in terms of height and weight, and they were able to run quickly.
The speed is not inferior to that of war horses. Previously, the war-restricted resources of the Desert Empire were not provided to the outside world at all. The young knights of the Black Dragon Knights quickly mastered the various characteristics of this riding beast. A few days ago, Qu Jianhong also
Suggest whether to return to the Flower Language Plain again.
Now, it seemed that the young high priest had something to say, so Tayang curled his lips slightly and signaled the other two to stay quiet.
The fourteen-year-old boy's mind is still immature, and of course he cannot compare with a cunning old guy like Tayan. The boy found that his words did not seem to attract the attention of the three people in front of him, which was far from what he expected.
For a moment, the young man pursed his lips and didn't know what to say.
Ta Yang was probably the only one who could watch the boy's jokes with interest at this time. Su Wen glanced at the old priest. This guy who was a priest seemed to have no good impression of all priests. And Chi Aotian looked at him.
The frail young man's face turned red, and he couldn't help but patted the young man's shoulder as if he were a young mercenary in a small mercenary group. This disrespectful action immediately caused a chain reaction - the eyes of the young man who holds the power of the entire empire.
It was instantly filled with water mist.
"I... want to avenge my teacher..." The young man could no longer follow the behavioral norms that a high priest should have, and tears burst into his eyes.
"This..." The goal is the same. The senior officers of the expeditionary force had already guessed something when they received unexpectedly sufficient supplies, but...it was somewhat difficult to accept it when talking about this matter with a teenager who has not yet reached adulthood. Chi.
Aotian even felt that no matter what kind of request he made, he would always feel like he was bullying the smaller ones.
"Well, tears... you can't take revenge, but the anger in your heart may be more effective." The person who said such words with a hidden meaning turned out to be Tayang. In Su Wen and Chi Aotian's acquaintance, this guy
Like a real senior pastor, he would never go around and express his true purpose in a specific way. Now it seems that this understanding is wrong.
Neither of the two non-clerics possess this skill, making it difficult to join the conversation.
"The anger comes from under the Fire Temple. It is invincible. Everything that hinders it will turn into ashes." The young high priest has not yet fully understood Tayan's purpose. His answer only expressed his determination, which was quite empty.
"Ashes? You are right." Tayan touched his chin: "After a fire in the southwest, many trees turned into ashes."
The young Adam was stunned. Of course he didn't understand the meaning. He hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking over the topic: "Yes, after such a catastrophe, we lost many towering trees that could be used as city walls. From then on,
The poor believers will have a hard time getting guidance on their way forward."
"Wall? Yes, it's a wall. After those trees and walls turn to ashes, without their obstruction, the two sides of the wall can be clearly seen." The black-robed priest continued to speak words that the other three people were increasingly unable to understand.
"Senior from the pagan religion, please enlighten me on the mysteries." Adam really couldn't understand, so he began to ask for advice seriously.
"Look to the west, to the south. There used to be boundless dense forests there. However, they were burned to the ground by the blasphemers two months ago." The black-robed priest also stopped talking about the circle: "The air in the south of the mountain is hot and humid, but the north of the mountain is dry and cold.
The air will invade each other, and for the desert
As far as the empire is concerned, storms that have never happened in a century will appear in the desert areas north of the mountains, and more oases will appear. But what about the flower plains in the south of the mountains? The dry and cold air will aggravate the drought in the grasslands in winter... This winter will not be easy to live with.
ah."
Just as the black-robed priest finished speaking, Chi Aotian and Su Wen's eyes burst out with extremely hot light at the same time.
After Sha Ruo returned from the God Realm, Amy carefully suggested that Sha Ruo establish the Vulcan Sect and use the influence of the main god to divide the enemy... Amy never imagined that by some combination of circumstances, his idea would actually be used by Chi Aotian.
It was implemented thousands of miles away, and... seemed to be more thorough.
