Section 11 The Demon God Manifests His Might
Viro is still entangled with the black dragon, and in the face of the fly-like Vira, the black dragon is really helpless. More than a dozen dragon scales on his body have been cracked, and some have burst out of blood, although it is only a skin injury for the black dragon, but it is also very painful after a long time.
For the two people who suddenly appeared, the angels of the Holy Light Empire were all shocked, and Viro also stopped harassing the black dragon. When he looked closely, a young man with a hearty smile like a sunny face, and a mysterious man in a black robe with a gloomy expression were looking at this side.
As if he had received some command, the black dragon flapped his wings and returned to Kerr's side. Kerr had fainted by this time, and was carried on the dragon's back by the flotation technique.
It was Harry...... When he came to the Dark Demon Hall halfway, his mind moved, so he lowered his body and invited the demon god out.
Although the Demon God did not want to focus on the war with the believers of the God of Light, the first two lines of defense were broken, and the Dark Demon Temple naturally suffered losses, especially many third-order masters, under the iron-blooded policy of Semeitis, they were killed a lot, and the Demon God also obviously felt that the power of his dark faith had weakened a lot.
As Harry had expected, he didn't take much to ask this god-level figure whose strength was close to the peak of the fourth order. After all, in the past two years, the Demon God has comfortably acquired the Dark Faith, and the speed is twice as fast as that of him in Monrok.
With Harry's deliberate provocation and his resentment against the God of Light, he naturally couldn't sit still when he learned the truth of the matter.
Because of this, Harry arrived more than ten minutes later than Kerr, just in time to rescue Kerr.
Flapping the black dragon's wings, Ha used his spiritual power to order the black dragon to send Kerr back to the imperial capital. The Dragon Knight is an important force in the Free Empire, temporarily ...... It's not yet time for a decisive battle with the Holy Light Empire.
"Holy ...... Your Highness!" said Ssol, with a look of joy on his face, and then a complicated look appeared in his eyes. I didn't expect to meet again, but it turned out to be an enemy. In this case, Harry wouldn't be here to catch up!
"Holy Son......" Piro and Bolton have complicated eyes, they and Harry do not have the same deep relationship as Ssol, but the previous power is still there, and they don't know what to do for a while.
Although they had already known Harry's true identity, it would not be easy for them to make a move against Harry.
"Why are you here?" Semetis stared at Harry tightly, a flash of nostalgia that was replaced by a faint anger. Kerr was rescued, and there was no way to inquire about the relationship between the Free Empire and the Dragons.
"Why can't I come?" said Harry, smiling faintly.
"Have you forgotten your oath to the Lord?!" Semetis didn't understand why the God of Light was jealous of Harry, but Harry's sudden break of the contract upset him. If Harry makes a move, he will have a strong opponent on his side.
"I didn't break my oath. Harry spread his hands lightly, then changed his words and said, "The premise that I am not an enemy of the Holy Light Empire is that the Holy Light Empire must not come to provoke me......! Now you're messing with me!"
"Tens of thousands of my compatriots have died at your hands, my friend has just been seriously injured by you, and my land has been usurped by you!
Harry's original oath was premised on the premise that if the Empire of Light did not invade him...... It's up to Harry to interpret this sentence.
"I would like to advise you to withdraw from the Free Empire with your troops...... Otherwise, there will be no place to die!" Harry's words struck everyone's hearts word by word, causing everyone's faces to change slightly.
"Speaking of which, you are intent on being our enemy!" Semetis snorted coldly and said, "It's a pity...... The omnipotent God of Light protects us, and the light will sooner or later spill to every corner of the continent!"
The voice was soft and dull, but it smashed like a hammer into the minds of everyone in the Holy Light Empire.
"I'd like to see how that crumb of Jesus Tagdan protects you!"
Four gray balls of energy appeared in the air, roaring towards the four angels. Only then did they notice that there was a mysterious black-robed man beside Harry.
Bang! Bang!
The ball of dark power easily devoured the defensive holy power that poured out of their bodies, enveloping them in it, and countless filament-like black glows flowed around everyone's bodies, gnawing their flesh and flesh little by little, peeling off, and exploding! Soon their bodies were red, white, and black, and Sensen's bones were exposed in many places.
The four angels were shocked, and hurriedly surged the holy power of their whole bodies, desperately fighting against the dark power that invaded their bodies. A milky white halo erupted from the angel's wings, washing over everyone's tattered bodies, and quickly healing the broken wounds little by little.
Who is this black-robed man? Being able to seriously injure all four of them at the same time is terrifying!
"Your Highness the Demon God! I'll leave it to you for the time being. Harry gave him a deep look, and his figure vanished into thin air. Back in the imperial capital, he still has very important things to do.
The last line of defense in the north, he has entrusted to the demon god. With a delay of a few dozen days, the Free Empire will be able to assemble a force that can rival the Holy Light Empire.
Demon God?Isn't that the one from Monrok Island?How could he appear in the Sub-Free Empire?How could he help the Free Empire against the Holy Light Empire?Cermetis had a lot of questions in his mind. Seemingly...... This war is far from being as simple as you think!
Reminiscent of the news coming back from Galliles...... Needless to say, Harry must have been playing tricks again. Semetis gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Has your god given you this ability?" said the demon god mockingly.
"Your Excellency the Demon God, why do you want to help the Free Empire? If you are willing to stand on the side of our Holy Light Empire, I can double the benefits they promise you!"
"That's a good condition!" the demon god mused, much to Semethys' delight, no matter what the demon god proposed, he should accept it.
"The Empire of Liberty has promised me the whole north and thirty million believers. If you double it, give me the entire land and followers of your Holy Light Empire, and I can consider helping you. The Demon God's playful voice made Semetis's face froze suddenly.
How could he have forgotten that the Demon God also developed dark believers. At this point, how could the Holy Light Empire back down? This is simply an irreconcilable contradiction...... Even if the Demon God and the God of Light have no enmity, it is impossible for him to side with the Holy Light Empire.
"Can't do it, then get back from the land of my Dark Demon Temple!" the Demon God shouted, and four dark power balls popped out again.
At his level, he only needs to take a simple energy attack in battle, and he can exert unparalleled power without any skills.
Drink!Semetis activated the secret method again, and Ssol and the other three quickly formed a formation.
Holy Sword Technique: Cross Light Sword! Semetis is a special move, and slashes at the dark power ball. The silent collision, the gray dark power and the milky white holy power were indistinguishable, and both disappeared......
The three people next to him, led by Bolton, fired a huge holy power light cannon that swept away the three dark power balls that rushed in. The gray and white energies intertwined and exploded. After all, the demon god is still at the level of the fourth order, although his strength is much higher than that of the other party, but the gap is only in energy.
Using the formation and royal secret arts, the four angels were barely able to fight the demon god.
Damn! It seems that relying on only four angels is not enough to conquer the Free Empire! Who knows, not only have they brought in the dragons of the dragon clan as helpers, but even the demon gods of Monrok have been tricked into being thugs. Before the second group of angels merge, he can't act rashly.
Thinking so in his heart, Semetis did not dare to slack off at the moment. Although the demon god is a powerful character, he is not a vegetarian on his side!
"Bolton! bless and bless!" A trace of overflowing holy power erupted around Semetis's body. Originally, the fourth-order strength activation secret technique would not have the spillover of holy power, but unfortunately, the power of the fourth-order Semetis was borrowed, and everything was still a little uncontrollable.
One golden light after another shot down on the bodies of the three battle angels, lifting their spirits. The demon god frowned slightly.
The energy of the race of gods is a little different from that of humans today. The source of their strength is the energy source of the first class, but the energy of the energy source is not unlimited. Once you consume too much, it is not too easy to reply. Unleash all his strength, even if the Demon God can solve the four angels in front of him, he will definitely lose his strength, and it will be extremely disadvantageous for him to impact the fifth order, or even shatter the void.
This is also the reason why he does not want to entangle with the followers of the God of Light. His energy is to be accumulated to deal with the God of Light.
The demon god stretched out his hands, and the dark power of ** was sent out in an extremely strange fluctuation, and a gray ripple visible to the naked eye surged towards the opposite side one by one.
Cermetis slashed out a massive lightsaber and struck at the Dark Ripple. However, the Dark Ripple Ripple seemed to have no entity, and the lightsaber quickly passed through this layer of ripples, and was dodged by the Demon God's teleportation.
What kind of attack is this? In a moment's astonishment, Semetis was swept into the ripples. The dark force went up steeply, and Semetis only felt his body tremble slightly, but he did not suffer any substantial damage, at best, he could only be regarded as being pushed by the dark force.
Immediately afterward, the rippled valley passed over Semetis's body, making him feel as if he was being pulled, but it still did not hurt him. Could it be that this attack of the demon god was just a bluff? Semetis turned his head to look at the other three, who felt almost the same as himself, and did not suffer any damage at all.
However, he soon learned the mystery of Dark Ripple's attack......
When the ripples rose again and steepened, Semetis clearly realized that this time his body trembled far more than the first...... And the second ripple sinking was enough for him to feel a tearing sensation in his body.
I see! Using the ups and downs of the dark force to create two opposite forces, each fluctuation can increase the contrast between the two forces several times. If the opponent withstands a few more shocks in the dark ripples, he is afraid that the force of the contrast is enough to tear him in half.
The demon god is worthy of being an ancient god-level figure, and this move uses the law of energy. Even if he doesn't have dark power but other energy, he can still perform similar tricks. This is what sets him apart from the ordinary Fourth Order.
The third ripple has already made Semetis's ** blood and qi surge, and the muscles all over his body have swelled, and blood is oozing in some places...... There was a mouthful of thick blood stuck in his throat, and he wanted to spit but couldn't spurt it, which was extremely uncomfortable.
If you can't go on like this, you must get rid of this ripple! If you shake it a few more times, even if you have the heart of an angel, you will die here. The four of them all had the same idea in their hearts, but their bodies were shocked by the energy, and they couldn't get rid of it at all. It's like a boat in a huge wave, and you can't help yourself.
Moreover, the dark force ripple is not in the form of physical energy, and Semetis's holy sword technique did not play a role in resisting just now. What to do?
The holy light around Bolton's body skyrocketed, and he exchanged his ** vitality for infinite power. A golden, transparent, and immensely powerful pillar of light descended from the sky and shrouded his angel. The bodies of the crowd seemed to be plated with a thin layer of gold.
Click!
Each subsequent shock made the thin golden shell crack as if it had been hit hard. The sinuous white stitches soon covered everyone's body.
With this layer of golden defense, everyone was in the midst of energy shock, and they were suddenly much more relaxed. However, Bolton was already old, and after this overdraft of his vitality, no matter how strong the holy power was, it would be irretrievable...... He's going to die soon!
Angel Impact!Bolton himself realized this, his eyes glaring. A white lightsaber that was a foot wide erupted from his **, and even the demon god on the opposite side felt a trace of threat. This is another trick to overdraw your life......
As soon as the lightsaber made contact with the demon god's body, it erupted with an earth-shattering sound, and the air currents in the sky swept through the entire Hudhaka City with the explosion, causing the entire fortress to shake for a while. The dazzling white light engulfed the demon god's body in an instant, and countless thick lasers burst out at the place of the explosion, and dozens of huge black holes were added to the already burning Hudhaka City.
"Bishop Bolton!" Thor exclaimed, and the angelic heart behind Bolton detached, and his whole body seemed to be drained, falling straight to the ground, and was hugged by Pieron.
Semetis quickly captures the Angel's Heart - as long as he finds a Bishop, he can still create a fourth-order angel. That's where Angel Hearts come in.
The white light in front of him dissipated, and the black robe of the demon god had already become tattered, and the hair of the straight shawl had become charred and messy. I saw that his whole body was wrapped in a thick dark force, and there were several places where green smoke was emitting.
"Damn! If it weren't for the fact that it was one step away...... How could I be forced to look like this!" the demon god shouted through gritted teeth.
The three people on the other side looked at each other, but they didn't expect Bolton to sacrifice his life and fail to hurt the demon god......! Our current strength is not at all his opponent. Semetis's gaze was cloudy, whether he would leave his soldiers behind and flee, or fight with all his might, and for a moment, he could not make up his mind.
"You ...... Don't go any further south!...... Die!" The demon god was also secretly complaining in his heart, just now in order to resist Bolton's attack, he wasted his huge energy, and he had already touched the threshold of the fifth order, and took a step back.
In order to prevent the other party from fighting again, the demon god did not continue to press, but made threats. Harry's request was also to try his best to buy time, and he couldn't afford to waste decades of energy to kill a few believers of the God of Light......
Belch...... In the case of this demon god's overall superiority, he actually wants to let himself go? Semetis feels a little incredible, in this case, let alone not let himself go south, even if he lets himself go back, he has to do it!
Of course, he didn't understand the Demon God's thoughts, and the Demon God, who originally thought that it could be easily handled, only solved the other party's angel after losing a huge amount of energy. In his opinion, the gains outweigh the losses. The demon god doesn't have too many scheming, since it is not cost-effective to solve it by force, then threaten it, he promised Harry what he did, he must do it, otherwise it would be a loss of dignity.
"There's a demon god stationed here...... How dare we send troops!" this condition was too generous, and Semetis hurriedly agreed with suspicious joy.
With an annoyed snort, the demon god disappeared into Hudhaka in the blink of an eye...... Leaving a crowd stunned in a daze.
"What's going on?" Ssol didn't understand, and neither did Viro. Even Semetis, who has always been shrewd, was confused by the demon god.
"Anyway, it bought us a certain amount of time. Semetis smiled coldly, and said in a solemn voice: "Prepare ten angels who dare to die, and I will be sure to kill this demon god! He let us go today, and sooner or later he will regret it......"
"In the next few days, let's consolidate the occupied cities! The second group of angels from the Divine Lord will not be long. As long as the demon god is killed, even if the Free Empire has the help of the dragon clan, it will definitely not be able to resist our army of angels!" Semetis's tough face revealed a strong sense of confidence.
The second group of angels, how many are there?......
The army of the Holy Light Empire has now occupied the second line of defense of the empire, and most of the north has fallen into the hands of the enemy.
Although it was very easy for Semetis to acquire this land, it was not so easy to control it completely. Therefore, the army of the Holy Light Empire did not approach Darucia immediately after, and stayed for a moment.
The occupied cities need to be consolidated and the civilian population needs to be civilized. After all, the true purpose of the God of Light is the faith of the people, and the Pope did not do this ideally in the past.
The Huairou policy, coupled with the unfavorable advance of the attack, caused the people in the north to be not interested in the God of Light. Anyway, I don't have to worry about my life, how to live or how to live. Once the Holy Light Empire is weakened, this piece of land will be reclaimed by the Free Empire sooner or later. If you believe in the God of Light, isn't it unpleasant to both sides? With this kind of mentality, how can the Holy Light Empire win the hearts of the people?
Semetis saw far more clearly than the Pope, so in order to control the people of the north as soon as possible, he resorted to a series of means.
First, deterrence:
Publicly display the corpses of all fallen battle masters and Imperial generals, and label them for the capture of soldiers they know.
Execute captives of level 9 and above and take a brutal burn at the stake.
Churches were quickly built in cities and towns, and if anyone did not come to worship, their property was confiscated. And the whole family was imprisoned.
Under such an iron-blooded policy, although the people of the Free Empire complained, they did not dare to show it. Only all of them became believers in the God of Light, albeit only superficially.
Semetis also knew that repression alone would not win the hearts and minds of the people. So in addition to deterrence, there are also some incentives.
Citizens who devout themselves to the God of Light can be rewarded with a large amount of gold coins, and their status in the control area is much higher than that of ordinary people.
A large number of priests baptized faithful believers, although it was only a small blessing such as repelling pain and preventing disease, but the process of baptism was undoubtedly sacred and refreshing to outsiders. To a certain extent, this has bought a lot of people's hearts.
In this way, with the exception of a small number of people who faithfully took refuge in the God of Light, the majority of the people were in a wavering period of hesitation. In the end, what determines their choice is whether the Free Empire can show its strength to compete with the Holy Light Empire.
If the Empire of Freedom collapses and the populace has no hope, it is only a matter of time before they turn to the God of Light. If the Free Empire can fight back quickly, the populace will be happy to wait for the North to be reclaimed.
"According to the oracle from the Holy Capital, the god has gained about 500,000 faithful faiths and 8 million weak faiths. The king's methods are indeed clever......" Ssol stood beside Semetis, with a smile on his face.
"It seems that the people still have a bit of a fluke ......mentality about the Free Empire," Semetis said slowly with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth, "The plan for the Divine Lord's arrival is nearing the end, and that fool of Kilfero probably doesn't know his situation yet......"
"He has perfectly fused the seed of light given to him by the Divine Lord, and the next step is to absorb the remnants ......of the Godhead," Ssol replied quietly.
"As long as we once again shock the Free Empire on the battlefield, those lucky inhabitants will probably become faithful believers in no time! It won't be long before the Divine Lord can gather enough strength to descend on the human world again!"
"Has the second batch of 21 Angel Hearts been finalized?" Semetis calmed down in a blink of an eye, and things were ...... It needs to be done little by little.
Including the one left by Bishop Bolton, a total of 22 reserve angels are merging angelic hearts. ”
"Very good! It doesn't matter if it's a demon god or a dragon! I want them to taste the power of the fourth-order angel army!" Semetis was angry about being forced back by the demon god last time, and vowed to take revenge.
