Imperial calendar, April 12, 1914, Easter, Putzmores, morning

"You're all ready, right?"

Antonio, who was sitting on the altar pedestal in the center of Puzmore Town Square, asked a priest of the church beside him.

"Everything is ready, all the personnel are in place. The priest replied.

Antonio nodded slightly, waved the priest to step aside, and closed his eyes.

"The next thing is to wait quietly for the Holy See. ”

Antonio whispered to the sides.

The altar was already crowded with onlookers, and the church and the government had already begun propaganda about the day a month earlier.

Most of the people under the altar looked at the right-most of the three tall stone pedestals on the altar's platform, on which was a blonde girl wrapped in pure white clothing.

The girl was very small compared to the stone seat behind her, she had one foot on the other leg, but the other foot was not yet on the ground, her left hand was on the armrest of the stone seat and gently supported her cheeks, and her eyes were closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

The girl was just sitting on the stone seat casually, but in the eyes of the onlookers below, there was an indescribable holiness and nobility and beauty.

To the left of the maiden is her godfather, Cardinal Archbishop Antonio, and on the left pedestal of Antonio is her fellow Church colleague and follower, Bishop Mujik.

Two high-ranking clergy and a maiden sat dignified and languid, respectively, while a group of priests and devotees stood beside them, singing gospel songs in their mouths, and the citizens and parishioners under the altar, some of whom were infected by the divine atmosphere, also sang along.

Wait until it's close to noon.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Empire, the States and the Empire's jurisdictions, devout believers of God, please step out of your homes and witness the historic miracles of the day!"

City broadcasts everywhere rang out at this moment.

"I am Chairman of the Imperial Defence Committee, Chief of the General Staff of Defence, Earl William Harris. ”

A thick man's voice was heard over the radio

"It turned out to be Field Marshal William Harris!"

"William Harris, the same Marshal Harris who defeated Tsar Nicholas in Mozk?"

As the radio sounded, citizens from all over the empire began to talk about it.

"Citizens, on behalf of the Empire and His Majesty George, I would like to announce to you a great step that will be engraved into the milestones of history, Your Majesty will authorize and unite the Templar Church to form the first demonic army in history, in order to liberate the people who are still oppressed and accelerate the process of civilization in the world!"

Citizens everywhere were in an uproar when they heard this

"Demonization, what's that?"

"Isn't it the business of the Imperial Military Department to fight a war, why would the church get involved?"

Harris, who was on the Mozik front, naturally could not hear the noise of citizens everywhere, and he continued to speak:

"The specific reasons will be announced by His Majesty the Pope below!"

"Your Majesty, did I hear me right?"

"Today is really unusual, the speeches are all big names who stand at the top of the world!"

"Wow, it's amazing, it's like a dream!"

The Holy See of Rome, an imperial state, in the city of St. Vatican

A slender old man stood on the balcony of St. Peterul's Cathedral, looking down indifferently at the devotees at his feet.

The old man wore a triple crown studded with various colored gemstones, a short elbow shawl covered with red holy ornaments that just covered his shoulders, a pure white robe, a golden cross engraved between the gold buttons on his chest, and his feet on red holy boots, and a staff engraved with silver magic in his hand symbolized the authority of the Supreme Magus and the Pope.

He sucked a breath, then turned and walked to the podium behind him, and shouted to the world:

"Listen to the revelation that the Lord has sent down to me at midnight today, chosen and loved by God, and the content of which begins with a prophetic sorrow:

In the Far East, a cursed people, cut off from God, will violently encroach on the realm of believers in God and trample on our homeland for a few years.

They will torture God's pious people, they will burn, kill, plunder, and seize the property and land of their people in a civilized world of faith in God, and we have sent good preachers to try to save this people, but all in vain and in vain.

This nation and nation have fallen, they do not believe in God or the kingdom of heaven, and even falsely claim that they are the heavens, and where they are heavens.

This stupid, decaying, bleak and dull people even arrogantly calls their country the Celestial Empire!

By oppressing and persecuting its neighbors, forming a system of hegemony and tributary, this unclean nation has desecrated the Holy See, expelled the mercy of the Lord and destroyed faith in God in the fertile lands they have conquered.

It is a sad fact that this people, my fellow citizens, is a heresy in the civilized world, and that its rulers are demons alien to this loving world, which is still oppressing its innocent and stupid people.

Fortunately, the Lord has told me that He will rain down vast and abundant miracles before the end of the day in the devout empire and its precincts, as well as in the empire states!

The Lord will give his people the divine power of the seven archangels, and use this divine power to protect the kingdom and remove uncleanness from the Lord!

Everyone has the opportunity to be endowed with the power of the archangels, everyone has the opportunity to awaken to the divine magic of the kingdom of heaven, rejoice, all God's people.

Therefore I hope that you will stop fighting among yourselves, and set out for the Far East, to liberate the unilluminated land from the hands of the wicked people, and make it yours.

I invite you, led by governments and churches everywhere, to participate in Holy Bath to test the magic of the archangels, the source of the power that God will give to the congregation today, and join the army of God, the army under the command of me, Pope St. Paul II, the Magic Crusaders!

If you who hear the announcement embark on your journey, your sins will be forgiven, you will be able to enter Paradise far above any other place, and you will enter the kingdom of heaven in eternal glory!"

The impact of these words is so strong that it subverts most ordinary people's perception of the basic concept of the world, and makes everyone who hears it a little messy.

"Miracles?"

"Divine magic qualifications?"

"A chance to enter the kingdom of heaven! Immortal glory! I want to join the crusade, I want to follow the Lord, I want to join the holy war!"

"You are stupid, how can there be any power of the archangel, this is just a pretense of recruiting troops to fight the Celestial Empire, who would be stupid to believe it. ”

"Then, please ask the executors of the churches everywhere to perform the advent ceremony and send down the vast and abundant miracles of the Lord!"

Didn't think too much about it.

Harris's deep voice continued to come over the radio again.

As the words fell, the executors of the Church in the Imperial Territories, Colonies, and States around the world set foot in the center of the altar in their local cities.

This, of course, also includes the port city of Putzmore, where Antonio and Tiffany are currently located.

Antonio's eyes were opened, and he rose from his pedestal, walked to the edge of the altar, and stood with his hands in his hands.

Then he and the others looked at Tiffany and Mujik, who were standing in the center of the altar and led the two rows of executors. Tiffany and the congregation, with their hands crossed over their chests, bowed their heads and began to chant:

"O loving and majestic Heavenly Father, Thy sincere people pray that a miracle may be sent down that may be sufficient for us trapped in a weak and crumbling shell to protect our kingdom and carry out justice!

Lord!

Give it, and it is enough to purify all filth, all fruitless, all unclean—the power of the archangels!"

With the chanting of Tiffany and the others, a silver-white holy light really descended from the sky above the center of the altar!

At this time, Tiffany and the other believers slowly raised their heads reverently, slowly opened their hands crossed in front of their chests, and finally palmed their palms upward, closing their eyes and raising their heads to the sky, as if embracing the holy light.

"Sing praises to the Lord, O men, and behold this miracle, which is great. Praise the Lord and praise the glorious name. ”

As Tiffany and Mujik continued to chant, the light above the altar gradually expanded... Gradually expanding... Eventually, it becomes radiant and envelops everyone who sees the Light, and all bodies can feel the light and heat.

Everyone's blood seemed to start beating, and despite the incredible things that were happening in front of them, it was impossible to be afraid of being in this holy world.

"Feel the throbbing in your blood, this power is the blessing of the gods, this is the divine power of the seven archangels!"

Less leaning

"When the executor had finished chanting, he asked the Pope to continue. ”

Hasri's voice was heard again on the radio.

At this time, Pope St. Paul II's eyes gradually became sharp, and like Tiffany and the congregants everywhere, he stretched out his hands, palms up, suppressed the explosion of pleasure, slowly turned around in place, took a deep breath, and then shouted hysterically:

"Come, people of the Lord!!!Join!! set out for Noah's ticket!! fight for God!!"

In the town square of Putzmores, the pope's proclamation echoed in the ears of the people, and after a short, long, silent silence, someone finally began to stretch out his hands and puff out his feet and shout:

"For Noah's ticket, for the glory that never rots!"

Thunderous cheers boiled over the crowd

"Fight for the Lord!"

"Liberate the Celestial Empire! Exterminate heretics!"

Remarks such as these were chanted in the crowd······

"Then the governments and churches in different regions will make decisions on recruitment, magic testing, the use of magic and related matters according to the different situations in different places...... Broadcast. ”

A broadcast from Field Marshal Harris, Chief of the Imperial Defense Staff, was instantly drowned out in a sea of people·····

Dancing in the crowd

Tiffany and Mujik crept down the altar after Antonio. The rest of the church began to pack up the ritual items and some instruments on the altar......

"What a bunch of hopelessly stupid people. ”

Tiffany sighed as she looked at the cheering crowd around her.

"Why did the Holy Maiden say this?"

Mujik on the side asked with a smile.

"Isn't it stupid that a few magic devices on the altar that have been infused with magic in advance have coaxed the world like this, watching them all run wild and running without any doubts?"

"It's not to blame these people, after all, for ordinary people, the concept of magic itself is mysterious, and this time, in addition to the Great Illumination Technique, the church has also prepared an altar guidance device that can make the magic in the blood of ordinary people react once it is activated, and supplemented by healing magic that can slightly soothe people's spirits, so that this effect can be achieved, which is really a big deal!"

Tiffany didn't say anything more, just glanced coldly at Archbishop Antonio in front of her who waved to everyone as she walked, and said secretly:

Promote faith with deceptive lies and performances, use the magic that exists in the world like air, and use magic and instruments to stimulate and resonate with the magic in the human body.

Would it be convincing the general public that this is a blessing from God, the power of the archangels, induced by the Church and the Empire, and that even those who cannot reach the level of magic can use and squeeze it with the help of magic technology, so as to create the magical army that the Pope and Emperor George dreamed of?

That's a big deal, Pope.

Tiffany sneered inwardly. Tiffany told herself that it didn't matter what means the church and the empire used, and even cooperated, as long as she could go to the battlefield, as long as she could ride the giant ship of this new era.

But... Only this wave of the center of the world... Be sure to stir it up yourself!
