Chapter 363: Galen
Leaving aside the debate about the massacres on the ground on the Vanguard spacecraft, the slaughter continued on the battlefield outside the Holy City, and the Imperial soldiers selected some of the captured enemies according to the number of heads, pulled aside and beheaded on the spot, and for a while the howls, pleadings, and screams rang out, but the soldiers who were lucky enough not to be selected were relieved, because although they would still face the end of becoming slaves, at least their lives were saved.
This method is somewhat similar to the ancient military law of the ancient earth civilization of "one out of ten", or even "one out of five", and there is also such a situation in this primitive civilization, the two sides of the war, especially the imperial side, have a blood feud against the enemy, if it is not for the accidental appearance of the Vanguard spaceship, then the person who is killed on the spot is the imperial soldier, and even the ordinary people in the city cannot escape this difficulty.
Killing a group of captives can shock the captured enemy, reduce your own logistical pressure, and thirdly, vent your anger against the enemy in this way and achieve victory for the sergeants. In addition, this is also a way to show off the strength of the empire, after this defeat, the coalition army that tried to carve up the empire lost the biggest bargaining chip in its hand, and without these hundreds of thousands of brave and skilled soldiers, then the collapse of the coalition army is doomed. Next, the empire will enter the counteroffensive phase to regain the territory it has previously lost, thus restoring the empire's glory.
However, this has nothing to do with the High Priest, and will be carried out by the soldiers of the Empire. As the High Priestess, Yasuo's status was extraordinarily high, and from a religious point of view, he was even above the master of the empire, the emperor. But in reality, Yasuo never interfered in the world, and as a spiritual leader, although he had supremacy, he had no interest in seizing supremacy.
If it weren't for the fact that the Holy City was in danger this time, and the coalition forces even shouted the slogan of capturing the temple, Yasuo, as the high priest, would not have sided with the Empire. Fought for the defense of the city.
Compared with the Holy City and the Temple, which have existed for an unknown number of years, the history of the Empire is short, and the successive High Priests have witnessed several changes of dynasty, but as long as the Holy City is safe and the Temple is still there, the High Priest will rarely make a move. This time was an exception. There are many barbarians of different faiths in the coalition, and the difference in faith is of course not too respectful for the temple, plus the empire is resisting to the death with the holy city as the last force, and Yasuo must stand up in this situation.
Finally repelled the enemy and won the war, but what Yasuo really cared about was not the outcome of the war, let alone the massacre that was now taking place outside the city. He looked up at the huge Vanguard spaceship that was parked in the air like a city, and his mood was extremely excited. Even tears of excitement fell from his eyes.
"O gods from a distant heaven! I...... Yasuo, the High Priest of the Temple of the Holy City, as your most faithful servant, pleads with you to come ....... ”
Kneeling on the ground, Yasuo reverently looked up at the Vanguard spacecraft and pleaded to the sky.
His pleading voice was not loud, but there was a strange rhythm in his words, and the air was like an electric wave that teleported directly to the Vanguard spacecraft not far away. Soon after, the pious Yasuo received an answer from the Vanguard spaceship, just as the small shuttle had done before. The voice sounded in his ears, so suddenly and so clearly.
Su Yichen told Yasuo. They will land near the Holy City, hoping that Yasuo will clear an open space for their landing. After landing, Yasuo will be invited to enter the ship, of course, Yasuo believes that this sentence is a summons from the gods. He was overjoyed when he heard this answer, and hurriedly found someone to ask the Imperial generals to immediately clear an area for the ship to land, and rushed over at the same time.
About four hours later. The previous battlefield was cleared of an area, and the massive Vanguard spacecraft shifted its position slightly, then slowly descended. Like a city, the Vanguard spaceship descended lower and lower in the eyes of everyone, but the whole landing process was silent, not even the sound of the wind.
When the Pioneer spacecraft descended to a distance of about a dozen meters above the ground. The entire ship shook slightly and stopped. There was nothing to support underneath the ship, but it was floating so steadily in this position that everyone was stunned.
"Miracles, miracles! This is the real city in the sky! ”
Yasuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he was not far from the landing place of the Pioneer spaceship, who had already put on the ornate robes of the High Priest, and behind him were the guards, who were not soldiers of the Empire, but warriors guarding the temple, and now they were all looking at the huge ship with fanatical and excited emotions.
Soon, Yasuo received another message from Su Yichen, and with the excitement in his heart, Yasuo turned around and said a word to his guards, asking them to wait here, and Yasuo walked forward with firm steps, walking in the direction of the spaceship.
The distance of a few hundred meters only takes a few minutes, and soon Yasuo is under the spaceship, the bottom is empty, the huge Pioneer spaceship is on his head, Yasuo came to a position according to the information sent by Su Yichen, but he didn't see any ladder that could walk up the spaceship, he looked up and looked at the air with some hesitation, but before he could ask, a soft white light wrapped around him from all directions, Yasuo was startled at first, and then relaxed, he stretched out his hands with a smile, Embrace the light that shines on you like a hug.
The guards who had been keeping an eye on Yasuo let out an exclamation, because they saw that Yasuo, who was wrapped in white light, actually flew up with his feet off the ground, stretched out his hands, and Yasuo, who was wearing a gorgeous high priest's costume, floated, this scene was almost like a god appeared, it was so incredible and shocking.
The floating Yasuo rose higher and higher, and as the white light suddenly brightened, everyone subconsciously closed their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, Yasuo who was floating in the air was gone, but the sky city was still in place.
It seems that the high priest has been summoned by the gods to the interior of the Sky City, whether it is the warriors of the temple or the generals and soldiers of the empire, and even the emperors, nobles and ordinary people of the empire who saw this scene can't help but kneel down and pray and praise with gratitude and praise from the bottom of their hearts in the face of this miracle of the gods.
In the eyes of these primitive civilizations, this is indeed a strange scene, but for the people of the Pioneer spaceship, it is just a very ordinary thing.
This planet is the same as Earth. With the same magnetic field and ionosphere, it is perfectly normal for the Pioneer spacecraft to land in this way. As for the "miracle" scene of Yasuo's floating, it was just that Su Yichen directly connected Yasuo into the spaceship through the spaceship's transmission equipment, which was as simple as taking an elevator.
The light dissipated, and Yasuo felt that his feet were no longer empty, but on the ground. He looked around. He found himself in a small room, square, about two and a half people tall, and about the length of his five bodies. There was nothing in the room, it was empty, and he could see clearly the soft light coming from the walls, the ceiling, and even the floor beneath his feet.
Just as Yasuo felt strange and tried to find his way out left and right, a voice sounded in his ears: "Please walk ...... from here." ”
"Here? Where? Yasuo replied subconsciously. As soon as he finished speaking, the wall, where he had not seen any gaps just now, opened from the left and right, and a passage appeared in front of him.
Yasuo smiled, and without hesitation, he walked directly to the side of the passage, the passage outside was slightly larger than the room just now, and it was also lit with a soft light all around. Walking along the passage, Yasuo didn't look left and right, but he was paying attention to the scene around him. However, there are no forks in the whole channel, only one direction. And any section of the channel is exactly the same.
After a distance of about a kilometer, I made a few turns before finally coming to the end. There was also an open door in front of it, but the light inside the door was very dazzling, and it was impossible to see what was inside the door for a while.
"Come in." The voice rang out again, and Yasuo stepped forward. Walked directly into the door, and the moment his body just stepped into the door, the door behind him closed silently. But Yasuo didn't look back at the closed door, because he was stunned by what he saw.
"This ...... Over here...... Did I come to the Divine Domain? Came to Heaven? ”
Yasuo's eyes widened as he stepped through the door and suddenly found himself in a strange place. It's not just a strange place, it's a strange world. Like his world, there were land, forests, rivers, sky, sun, and white clouds, and it was full ......of flowers that he had never seen before, and even what those trees were, the learned Yasuo couldn't tell at all, and he even wondered if he was dazzled. He couldn't help but squat down and touch the grass under his feet, the sensation from his fingers told him that it was all real, and he smelled the fragrance of the air and the moist smell of the earth in his nose, was this really a divine domain?
"Hello!" A voice suddenly sounded, so that Yasuo pulled back from his thoughts, Yasuo subconsciously looked up at the place where the voice came from, but saw nothing, just when he thought that this was another whisper of the gods to him, just a few meters in front of him, the space vibrated slightly, countless brilliant lights lit up, and condensed into a person at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That's right! It's a person, a person who appears out of thin air, this is a person who is a bit like Yasuo and their civilization, but there are some slight differences, the other party has long black hair, wears a silver glittering and strange costume, although the face is ordinary, but with a breezy smile, and the black eyes are especially bright, looking at it, it can almost be seen into people's hearts.
Yasuo was slightly stunned, and then showed a look of surprise and panic, he knelt down at Su Yichen's projection, and said to Su Yichen with the most noble courtesy: "Your most faithful servant, the walker of the world, the caretaker of the temple, Yasuo thank you for your kindness, your arrival is the expectation of your people, and your light will live forever on the ...... of the world." ”
Yasuo praised his god with the most respectful and pious words, Su Yichen listened patiently for a while, but Yasuo still had no intention of stopping until two minutes later, this time Su Yichen was a little crying and laughing, he simply waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't be like this." ”
Since there were so many gods, Yasuo immediately stopped, but when he stood up, he still looked at Su Yichen in front of him with that kind of gaze, and his expression was extremely excited.
"What's your name? Or what do you call it? ”
"My name is Yasuo." Yasuo replied respectfully.
"Yasuo, is that the name? Don't you have a difference between a first and last name? In order to understand the situation of this primitive civilization, it is most convenient to contact a clergyman like Yasuo, Su Yichen asked again.
Yasuo replied, "Ordinary people have, but I don't, I'm called Yasuo, and the high priest of the temple has this name for every generation, which is a ...... that has been passed down from generation to generation. ”
"Oh, I see." Without waiting for Yasuo to explain again, Su Yichen already understood what the other party meant, which was similar to the living Buddha on the earth, abandoning the name of this life and using the only name, which was passed down from generation to generation.
Who would have thought that Su Yichen's words would make Yasuo misunderstand, he thought that Su Yichen was really a god that had been passed down from generation to generation, if it wasn't for that, how could he understand it as soon as he mentioned the other party? You must know that the first generation of Yasuo is the servant of the gods, and it is precisely because of this that the name of Yasuo will be passed down in this way. And now that the gods understand the cause and effect because of their own explanations, then it is even possible that this god is the god who left the holy city back then!
As for Su Yichen's appearance, including his face, which is a little different from what was described in the foundation, this is nothing to Yasuo. Gods are not ordinary people, and gods can naturally appear in front of people in various forms.
"You can call me Sue." Su Yichen said with a smile, and then asked, "Where is this?" What is your civilization called? ”
Yasuo was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this might be because there are too many worlds where gods have descended, not to mention that it has been many years since the completion of the Holy City, and there have been countless changes of dynasty, and the mortal world is too short for the gods, and it is normal for the gods not to know the current situation.
Yasuo immediately answered Su Yichen's question respectfully, and he told Su Yichen that the world name is Galen, and the empire that now rules the Holy City is the Macrotic Empire. (To be continued......)
