"Kill Isohime? Well done! Li Qing really didn't disappoint Ben General! ”

On the command platform of the Shenglong, Long Linghan slapped his face lightly, a smile appeared in his eyes, and looked at the Amaterasu's flagship Kaicheng, which was fighting with the Shenglong on the other side, and muttered: "Eagle Division Sun and Moon, your Isohime has been killed, and my mermaid troops are about to be put into battle, now, what are you going to do?" ”

By now, the fleets of both sides have entered a state of melee. You have me, I have you, interspersed with each other, divided from each other, kept moving, tried their best to cooperate with friendly ships, forming a situation of more than one, and the two previously neat battle lines have long been gone.

Under the melee, the battle situation became more intense.

The thunderous sound of cannon fire did not stop for a moment, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the flames were spewed, and the cannons were emptied. On the warships of both sides, sawdust flew sideways, the canvas was broken, iron balls were rolling, fires broke out everywhere, screams were endless, limbs were thrown, and blood was flowing.

The battle has entered a white heat, and the two sides are inseparable and evenly matched. At this moment, it only takes one opportunity and one victory point to form an avalanche effect and completely defeat the enemy fleet.

And now it seems that the victory point on the side of the Imperial fleet has appeared.

Amaterasu's powerful sea monster Isohime is beheaded, and the mermaids on the imperial side may enter the battlefield at any time.

Once the mermaids are put into battle, they will inevitably become an important weight on the scales, breaking this evenly matched scene and completely crushing the Amaterasu fleet.

But Long Linghan knew that Amaterasu's side must still have a killer weapon hidden - Amaterasu's naval strength is only one-tenth of that of the empire. Whether it is the strength of the fleet or the strength of the sea, Amaterasu is only one-tenth of the empire. According to common sense, Isohime should be the biggest killer of this Amaterasu detachment fleet, but the problem is ......

Everything is according to common sense, Amaterasu Province will not dare to go to war with the empire at all!

You must know that the naval strength is still one-tenth of the empire's Amaterasu, but the overall national strength is only one-thirtieth of the empire.

In the past, if a small country like Amaterasu dared to go to war with the empire, the only end would be to destroy the country and destroy the species, and there was no second possibility.

However, now, Amaterasu Province is at war with the Empire, not only to start a war, but also to take the initiative to declare war.

The one who gave Amaterasu the courage to brush the tiger's beard of the empire was the Holy Light Alliance from the West.

The Holy Light Alliance, composed of eleven countries in the Western Continent, with the Holy Light Empire as the core, respects the Lord of Radiance as the supreme god - for the Lord of Radiance, who is known as the supreme and supreme Lord of Radiance, Long Linghan has studied the history of its development.

More than 800 years ago, the West was still in the Dark Ages. Originating from antiquity, the Oran god system ruled the entire Western Continent.

The main god of the Oran god system, Oransis, combines the evil virtues of lewdness, murder, and greed, and gives birth to a bunch of gods and goddesses with his bad blood flowing with his own sisters, forming a huge Oran god system.

Because the Orlan gods have the blood of the ancient gods of the West, they do not need the belief of all sentient beings, so the Oran gods do not sympathize with sentient beings, but take pleasure in teasing and crueltying sentient beings. They often provoke wars among the kingdoms of the world, causing wars on the western continent, while the gods watch and even gamble in the heavens. Sometimes, in order for the side they support to win, the gods even send avatars to the Nether to personally participate in the war.

The participation of the gods in the war is definitely a great disaster for mortals.

Even the weakest of the gods, their avatars have the power to collapse mountains and shatter the earth with a single blow. With a little preparation and casting spells, you can change the course of the rivers, flatten the mountains and rivers, and turn the flat land into mountains. It is not a problem to destroy the city and destroy the army.

Every time a battle in which the gods incarnate to participate in the war, the world will be in shambles, destroying countless countries, and killing and wounding hundreds of thousands.

Under the intervention of the Orlan gods, the western continent was divided into more than 100 small countries, and those who only had one city dared to call themselves kings, and those who only had one township and territory also dared to call themselves grand dukes. The nations were constantly fighting each other and killing each other, which made the development of the Western continent slow down.

Under the cruelty of the Orlan gods, in the Dark Ages, when the Eastern Empire had exceeded 100 million people, the total population of the Western Continent, which was three thirds larger than the Eastern Empire, was only 8 million when the total population was the largest.

This state of affairs lasted until 800 years ago.

Eight hundred years ago, a hero appeared in a small country in the Western Continent.

The hero's background is unknown, but legend has it that he was born at the dawn of the morning, so he is known as the son of the dawn - or the daughter of the dawn. Because at the beginning of the legend, the hero began to be active as a woman.

Legend has it that as soon as she was born, she was abandoned in the wilderness by her parents. It was a wolf-infested wilderness, and a newborn baby should have quickly become food for wolves. But when her adoptive parents, a miller couple, found her in the morning light, she was guarded by a legendary immortal bird, and no wild beast dared to approach her.

And when the miller couple found her, the immortal bird that guarded her immediately disappeared - only later did the world learn that the immortal bird did not disappear, but turned into an invisible mark that was seared on her brow. When she is angry or frightened, the mark on her eyebrows will appear, and she will turn into an immortal bird and fight for her.

The miller and his wife adopted her and treated her like their own daughter, taking care of her and raising her with great care. Although the standard of living of her childhood was only average because of the limited financial resources of the miller couple, her childhood was at least happy and carefree.

If everything is normal, then this daughter of the dawn, who is guarded by the immortal bird, may inherit the mill in the future, marry the son of a merchant or blacksmith, and form an ordinary small family to spend an ordinary life.

It's a pity that in the dark western continent ruled by the Orlan God system, ordinariness is the greatest luxury.

When the Daughter of Dawn was thirteen years old, another war provoked by the Orilan gods broke out.

During that war, the village of the Daughter of Dawn was destroyed by a group of enemy knights, and her adoptive parents were brutally murdered. When the daughter of Dawn, who was picking mushrooms in the forest, came home with a basket of her adoptive father's favorite mushrooms, all she saw was the burning village and the corpses that had been piled up on the threshing floor in the village......

The wrath and grief of the Lady of Dawn awakened the undead birds. The mark on the center of her eyebrows turned into a flaming bird, and led her to find the enemy knights and burn them all to charcoal. In retaliation, she joined the kingdom's army, relying on the power of the immortal bird to slaughter the enemy army. He even killed a lot of mages from enemy countries.

All this has earned her a huge reputation in her home country. The plebeians revered her, the soldiers and knights loved her, the magicians treated her with courtesy, and even the king treated her as a guest, not daring to look down on her because of her youth.

But the slaughter of the enemy did not help, nor did the great reputation and popularity of the people.

It could not soothe the sadness in her heart, let alone save the lives of her adoptive parents.

So after the war ended, she began to reflect.

Why is there a war? What causes the war? Who is making people kill each other? Who is it that destroys the originally intact families, makes the parents lose their children, and makes the children without their parents? Who is responsible for these countless tragedies?

She sets out in search of answers, and with thirteen warriors who had volunteered to follow her in the midst of the war, she embarked on an adventure around the Western continent.

During her adventures, she performed countless great feats.

She slayed werewolves, killed vampires, and saved countless civilians who had suffered from these two dark creatures. She has slain a large number of evil witches and wizards, driven demons and demons back to prison, and killed or banished demonic beasts that endanger people...... She has quelled disputes, adjudicated fairly, and even quelled many wars between nations.

After five years of travel, her fame began to spread throughout the Western continent. Many people know her title, and they all know that there is a daughter of the morning sun in the road who will bring light to people in despair. Even her followers have the honorific title of "Knights of the Thirteenth Dawn".

Eventually, she found the answer, and with an ever-growing team of followers, she returned to the country where she was born and formed a sect, the Dawn Holy Cult.

"The darkness will pass, and the morning light will come." This was the original prayer of the Dawn Sect.

In the beginning, the Dawn Cult was more of a mutual aid organization. The doctrine is very simple, it is to help each other, to help the needy, to expel darkness, to arbitrate disputes, and to settle disputes.

Because of the high prestige she had left in her home country in the past, and because of the mutual aid nature of the sect, her sect had just been formed and had grown rapidly. The low-level civilians have joined in, and under her leadership, they help each other, help each other, deal with difficulties together, and pray that the darkness will pass and the light will come.

Gradually, the sect grew faster and faster, with more and more members, more and more complete doctrines, and more and more tightly organized.

The composition of the cult gradually changed, from the first low-level commoners, to the burghers, and later to the army and nobles—her former prestige and exploits made the soldiers and nobles not contradict the sect she founded.

In the Dark Ages, soldiers, knights, nobles, and even magicians and kings all had a sense of precariousness, and they just as much needed help and solace for their souls.

In just a few years, her home country has become a nationwide believer in the Dawn Sect. Even the king and the royal family joined the sect and renamed the country the Land of Dawn, revering her as the Holy Maiden of Dawn and seeing her as a star of hope that breaks through the darkness and brings light.

The Oran god system, which rules the Western Continent, does not need to be believed by the common people, so the Oran gods do not understand the horror of a religion with a well-organized, complete doctrine, and a large number of followers. The development of the Dawn Sect was therefore not disturbed by the gods.

With a joke-watching mentality, they sat back and watched the development of the Dawn Sect. In the meantime, out of a certain playful mentality, a few Orlan gods organized several small mortal countries to attack the Dawn Country, wanting to see how the Dawn Sect would react in the face of this near-death crisis.

The results were beyond their expectations.

Under the strict organization of the Dawn Sect, the Dawn Nation was well organized and orderly from top to bottom, and every national strength and every citizen was mobilized. The powerful organization and mobilization power made the land of dawn burst out with amazing war potential, and the alliance of several countries was defeated by one country against several countries.

The several Orlan gods who provoked this war were unwilling to lose, and even more refused to lose face, so they sent their avatars to the lower realm in person, wanting to teach the country of Dawn a cruel lesson.

But something even more shocking happened. The daughter of the dawn, who combines the beliefs of the whole country, is now a god, and when she is a god, with the help of the force tide that will come when she is a god, she can easily wipe out the incarnations of those gods with her own strength. Moreover, with the corpses incarnated by those gods, the pedestal of the kingdom of God was constructed, and when the gods had just ascended to heaven, there was a solid kingdom of gods.

It was only then that the Oran gods realized that something was wrong.

The gods of Orlan rushed to the kingdom of the Daughter of Dawn and wanted to wipe them out. They spent ten years attacking the kingdom of the Daughter of Dawn, and even reached the core of the kingdom of God at one point, but in the end it was all in vain - the gods of Oran, who did not need to believe, did not understand the mysteries of believing in gods, and did not know that the gods were immortal if they did not know that their faith was endless. I don't know that the more believers in the Dao, the stronger the gods.

In the past ten years, the Daughter of Dawn has shown weakness and the enemy, deliberately and gradually let go of the defense of the Kingdom of God, so that the gods of Oran will attack the Kingdom of God step by step, until they reach the core of the Kingdom of God, making them mistakenly think that they can kill the Daughter of Dawn. On the ground, the Lady of Dawn's sect has developed rapidly through this precious decade, with the "Thirteen Dawn Knights" personally preaching, and the Dawn Holy Sect spreading rapidly in all directions.

The battle of the Daughter of Dawn when she was a god shocked the entire Western Continent. Many countries in the Western Continent are in awe of her. And the reputation of the Daughter of Dawn when she traveled in the mortal world also made the people at the bottom have a very good impression of her.

When the Dawn Sect began to preach in a big way, the low-level commoners joined the religion one after another, believing in the Daughter of Dawn. The high-ranking countries of various countries were intimidated by the prestige of the Daughter of Dawn in the First Battle of the Gods, and turned a blind eye to the spread of the Dawn Holy Sect without interfering in the slightest. The Orlan gods thought that after attacking the Dawn Divine Kingdom, the killing of the Dawn Daughter was just around the corner, and they did not pay special attention to the development of the Dawn Sect.

This time, ten years later, when the Orlan Divine Spirit attacked the core of the Dawn Divine Kingdom, on the Western Continent, the followers of the Dawn Sect had exceeded 500,000, accounting for one-sixteenth of the population of the entire continent!

After the number of believers reached half a million, the counterattack of the Daughter of Dawn began.

When it came time to fight back, she showed overwhelming strength. first closed the door and beat the dogs, enclosed the Oran gods who attacked her kingdom in the kingdom of God, and then with the help of the power of the main field, all the gods who came to her true body were killed, and finally used her god corpse to strengthen the kingdom of God.

This battle represents the official rise of the Daughter of Dawn, and it also officially rings the death knell of the Orlan god system......

In the years that followed, the name of the Lady of Dawn gradually changed. She first became the god of the sun, one of the several Oran gods who died in her kingdom, and the Daughter of Dawn took advantage of the battle to obtain the full priesthood of the sun. After that, her image gradually developed from a goddess to a gender-neutral god.

Later, when she received the moon, flame, and other priesthoods related to light and light, her divine name became the Lord of Light. His image has also become a majestic male god. The Dawn Divine Cult has also changed all the way into the Radiant Holy Sect.

After 700 years of development, the Radiant Sacred Sect has unified the faith of the Western Continent. Two hundred years ago, the Orlan god system officially perished. The god king Oranis fell, and most of the gods of the god system perished, and only a few Oran gods with a relatively good reputation were merged into the holy light god system and became the servant gods of the Lord of Light.

Due to the rise of the Lord of Radiance, the darkness that had shrouded the Western Continent for thousands of years was dissipated.

The wars on the continent decreased, the people lived in peace, and the divided kingdoms gradually unified, eventually forming eleven powerful nations. The population and productive forces have also developed enormously, from 8 million in the Dark Ages 800 years ago to more than 50 million a hundred years ago. In the past 100 years, it has developed rapidly, breaking through the 100 million mark.

In the kingdom where the Lord of Light was originally enshrined as a god, the king who first believed in her was also favored by her, and the country grew stronger and stronger, and finally developed into a great empire of holy light with a population of 20 million. The Western Continent, with the Holy Light Empire as the core, formed the Holy Light Alliance of the Eleven Nations.

After ruling the entire Western Continent, in order to spread the faith of the Lord of Radiance, the Holy Light Alliance led an army to the east, conquering many small countries along the way, destroying countless countries. Their Lord in heaven has also destroyed many minor gods, and all those who disobey have fallen, and those who obey have become obedient to God.

Over the past hundred years, the power of the Holy Light Alliance has spread from the far west to the eastern countries.

Now, the small countries in the southwest and northwest of the empire have been conquered by the Holy Light Alliance. The original faith was destroyed, and the whole nation believed in the Lord of Glory and His servants. With the support of the Holy Light Alliance, he organized an army to wage war against the Empire.

Amaterasu, to the east of the empire, was also conquered by the Holy Light Alliance.

Takamagahara, the kingdom of gods of Amaterasu Province, has been occupied by the gods under the command of the Lord of Radiance, and the three main gods of his kingdom have all fallen. The original ruling class of Amaterasu Province, especially the high-ranking with divine bloodline, was almost completely purged. All those who did not follow were killed, or fled to the Empire. Only the converts survived, but their status was very different.

The people who now rule Amaterasu are the original middle and lower classes. They have achieved dominance with the support of the Light Alliance, and are the most loyal to the Alliance and the most devout to the Radiant Gods.

As soon as the Holy Light Alliance gave the order, Amaterasu did not hesitate to organize an army and take the initiative to declare war on the Empire. Now he is mainly responsible for the eastern battlefield of the empire, pouring the power of the country into the battle with the eastern sea fleet of the empire.

To be sure, the Lord of Radiance is indeed a peerless hero.

Even if Long Linghan's empire was under siege by the Holy Light Alliance and its vassals, she couldn't help but admit that the idea of the Lord of Light was worthy of respect—the Holy Light Alliance's expedition was not simply to spread faith. What is more is to obey the oracle of the Lord of Radiance, to rule the world, to make the world unified, to eliminate all strife, and to make war no longer in the world.

For this reason, even if it is to set off a world war first, it will not hesitate.

However, as a soldier of the Empire and a descendant of the dragon, Long Linghan would never allow his country to be assimilated by the Holy Light. We will never allow our country's glorious and independent civilization of thousands of years to submit to the Holy Light.

This is the pride of being born as a dragon, and it is also the sacred pride of the people of the empire!

Tracing back to ancient times, every subject of the empire, the source of their ancestors, is the ancient gods who shook the past and the present. The ancient gods of the empire were powerful, merciful, brutal, or heroic, but none of them were willing to be enslaved.

As a descendant of the gods, the people of the empire will never submit to foreign civilizations. Even the ruler of his own country, if the cruelty is too great, the people of the empire have the courage to rise up and overthrow his rule. In the empire, there are no thousand-year-old nobles, let alone thousand-year-old royalty. What kind of prince will Xiangning have? The Son of Heaven takes turns to do it, and it will come to my house next year!

Disobedience, disobedience, unwillingness, and resentment, this is the pride of the people of the empire!

"Come on, Amaterasu, who is willing to be a lackey of the Holy Light, let Ben take a look, what other killer features do you have?"

Long Linghan squinted at the Haicheng and murmured in his heart.
