Section 48 Reckoning with one another
In the temple, Kilferro, Phuye, and Esin knelt on the ground together.
The phantom of the God of Light floated in mid-air, looking at the three people below solemnly.
"Is the Son a heretic?" the God of Light looked incredulous.
"Yes, if his subordinates expected him to be right, he was one of the people who invaded the Holy Capital that day. His purpose should still be to snatch the Holy Woman. It's just that I don't know why he got involved with the forces of the former royal family. Essien replied respectfully.
"How can ......he master the power of the Light since he is a heretic? It is impossible for one person to cultivate two powers. According to you, the earth-shattering explosion he cast must be one of the elemental magic, right?" the god of light continued.
"That's ...... The subordinates didn't quite understand either. But when I watched him exert his holy power, it seemed that it was in vain, and his combat power and Jialan's combat power and holy power had almost no effect. Relying entirely on that flying sword...... The so-called Flame of Light seems to be the fire-based energy of the magicians of the Free Empire. ”
"On that day in the Holy Capital, that kid who can walk in space does have a smell that I am familiar with...... But I don't remember exactly why. The God of Light also pondered for a while, but still couldn't understand it.
Since the so-called Son is a heretic, we must not hesitate to exterminate it. Semetis also colluded with the infidels, and his sin is unforgivable. The Pope said lying on his stomach. He hated the Crusaders and Harry, and of course wished they were all wiped out.
"Kilferro, now you don't have the right to speak here!" the God of Light said angrily, "If it weren't for your past loyalty, the great sin you committed this time would be enough to make you reincarnate 100 times!"
"In vain, I have always trusted you so much, but what you have done is not as good as a heretic and a rebel! You have pushed my followers to the opposite side of me, and the power of faith that has been decreasing year by year is the best proof! I have given you the best gift and the highest right, but you are only thinking about your own 'selfish' intentions! The group of wastes you have cultivated below all take you as an example! No wonder you have not pushed an inch of land south all these years, no wonder the power of faith has been declining all these years, it seems that I spoil you too much! The anger in the Light God's tone was undisguised.
Kilfero lay on the ground in resignation, his body trembling, not daring to say a word more.
"You're just stupid, and I'm sure you're still loyal to me...... Otherwise, how can I spare you!" God of Light snorted coldly and continued: "Since you are not capable of leading the entire empire, then do your part honestly in the future, and if there is a mistake, ...... go wrong."
"Don't dare! My subordinates will do their best to host things for me in the future, and they will never dare to have 'selfish' intentions again!" Kilferro hurriedly replied.
"Essien...... What do you think should be done about this?" the God of Light put away his anger and turned to Esin to ask.
"My subordinates think that if my lord wants to destroy this crusading force, it will be easy. Even if the 'Holy Son' is not something we can resist, once he comes to the Holy Capital, he will never be able to escape the palm of my lord......" Essin, the flattering God of Light, was very comfortable, and a smile spread across his face.
"Although they are a rebel force, the main reason is that the worshippers have a grudge against the temple because of some of the foolish actions of the temple in the past. Their faith in our Lord has not changed. It is precisely by taking advantage of this that the 'Holy Son' can take advantage of it. ”
Essien counted the Pope again by the way, and Kilferro glared at Essien resentfully, but did not dare to speak.
"The Lord is merciful......! It's better to take it. Essien smiled slightly.
"That's right. The god of light was pleased with Essin's answer. Although the north is said to be a rebel area, the power of faith provided to him accounts for 23, how can the god of light be willing to let everything return to its original state?
"You can see it. This Semetis is indeed a talent, last time ...... I'm wrong about him!" said the God of Light with some regret.
"Prince Semetis is indeed a man of great ability," Essien's words resonated with the Pope
"Prince Semetis is indeed a man of great ability, and he must be loyal to the Lord. I just want to completely subdue the crusaders, but there is a difficulty in the middle...... The Son was a pagan in the south, and his purpose was to rob the Holy Woman. Among the rebels, it is the 'Son' who dominates......" Essien added.
"It's just a holy 'woman', if he is willing to be used by me, why not 'hand' it back to him! "The Holy 'Woman' was originally created to win over faith for the God of Light, and now this Holy Son is doing better than any Holy 'Woman', so why do you have to bother to control a Holy 'Woman'?
"What does my Lord mean...... Use the Holy 'Maiden' as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the other party?" Esin was a little surprised, the Holy 'Maiden' actually had no weight in the eyes of the God of Light. But in this way, things are easier.
"Let me think about this matter again, maybe it would be more appropriate for me to come forward in person...... "What is the purpose of the God of Light to establish his own empire and develop the Holy See? Isn't it just for the power of faith? How can this heretic be willing to let the ordinary people increase their faith by three times in just two months?
"That's it, when they come to the Holy Capital, just invite them to the temple to see me!" With that, the image of the God of Light gradually disappeared.
"Congratulations to the Divine Master!" the three shouted in unison.
Essien and Puye mocked the pope and left the temple together.
"It looks like this Prince Semetis is about to take power......" Essien squinted at the sky and muttered as he squinted.
"Then didn't we make wedding dresses for others?" Pu Ye asked stunned.
"Do you think so?" said Essien, smirking.
"Isn't it? It used to be the Pope who pressed on our heads, but now it's just a Semetis. Speaking of which, it doesn't make much difference. ”
"Do you want to sit in that seat?" Essien asked with a smile.
"I ...... You know I'm only good at fighting. But you, Essin, don't you plan to take charge of the Empire?" asked Puye.
"I'm still self-aware. It's better not to be delusional about things that don't belong to you, otherwise the Pope will be an example!" Essien shook his head and said, "And it's not like we didn't get nothing......"
"A few months ago, Semetis launched a seizure of power, and we were transferred from the Holy Capital by him in the name of the Divine Lord, so he was able to easily control the entire temple with a very small number of troops. If it weren't for the Pope's desperate summoning of the Divine Master, I am afraid that all the high-level members of the Temple would have been killed that day. Even if the God of Light knew about it afterwards, he couldn't do anything about it, after all, someone had to use it......, right? It's a good idea. ”
"And I feel the same way when he proposed some proposals to reform the Holy See, especially the Temple. Do you really think ...... Didn't I notice that he was pulling me away?" said Essien, smiling.
"You knew it beforehand?" said Pu Ye, a little surprised.
"I don't know, but I can vaguely guess a little. I also hope that he can really succeed......"
"Why?" Pu Ye didn't understand.
"Do you think it is better to stay under a stupid and arrogant pope, or to stay under a wise and powerful emperor? Semetis has always held us in great respect...... Although this is just a gesture of his, it also shows that he is a smart person. ”
"It's too tiring to fight for power and profit, so it's better to fight happily! It is also a very good thing to have a wise leader to lead oneself. Isn't it?" Esin patted Puye on the shoulder and said, "Now that we have the trust of the Divine Lord, I also made a gesture of goodwill to the future emperor in front of the Divine Lord, and I think he will always know our good intentions." ”
"No more people shouting in front of them, no more commanding them in the name of God, no more bullying dogs making noise in front of them. What more could you hope for?" said Essien, lightly.
"If that's the case, it's not bad!" Pu Ye's shriveled face also 'revealed' a smile.
"Trust me! I can't get people wrong. ”
......
"Your Excellency, why did you order the Crusaders not to carry weapons and shields, and how would they fight in that case?" asked Thor curiously.
"Silly boy, are we really going to attack the Holy Saint? That's where the Divine Temple's Temple is. How can you blaspheme at will. Semetis replied with a smile.
"Then why do you have to keep the soldiers ready for action? Is it just pretending?"
"We've been through a few battles along the way, and how many times have we actually sent troops?" Semetis looked at Thor with a smirk.
"Uh...... In addition to Moscow, there is also the city of 'Mongolian' fruit...... It seems like only twice!" Ssol thought for a moment and replied, "And Moscow took advantage of the situation to attack that time, and there was almost no resistance. ”
"That's right! We don't really want to fight to the death with the temple, the army, most of the time it only plays a role of deterrence and demonstration. You don't have to fight without them, but you can't do without them. ”
"Oh! I know this! Surrender without a fight!" said Ssol.
"Who taught you to surrender without a fight?" Semetis's eyes flashed with surprise.
"His Highness the Son taught me. Ssol said honestly.
How much more do you have that I don't understand? How can I trust you to send you back to the Free Empire? Semetis couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Let's go! after today, the Empire will be a different story!" commanded Semetis.
"Yes!"
Two hours later. Semetis and Harry stood together outside the Holy Capital, behind them...... It was a thousand crusaders lined up in a neat phalanx.
In just two months, the ruined walls and ruins of the city are long gone. The Holy Capital is still so solemn and majestic.
In the center, the magnificent church still exudes a sacred atmosphere, and the sound of chanting from the holy capital makes all the soldiers feel calm, peaceful, solemn, and solemn. Many of them were visiting the Holy Capital for the first time, and their excitement was palpable. Many people are muttering prayers in sacred prayer gestures.
Harry secretly shouted in his heart, "Tang Ling!
