Chapter 40: Glass Blossoms

If you stop a person at random and ask him what the Xunshan hermitage will be, most of the answers you get are inexplicable. ,! (You can find this site)

The Xunshan Hermitage Order, even within the Holy Light Sect, is a secret that cannot be spread at will, and less than half of the thousands of priests and paladins present know the meaning of the word Dao.

To put it simply, it is a group of rebels who are hiding within the Church, who also have the faith of the Light, but are not of the same mind as the Church, and who are superficially obedient to the rule of the Church, but secretly plotting to overthrow. According to the official version within the Church, the Xunshan Hermitage is a group of pagans who shamelessly steal their faith, and although they can use the Holy Light, they are the worst enemies of the Church. However, the Xunshan Hermitage has existed for a long time. For those who are familiar with the inside story, the Xunshan Hermitage means that the current rule of the Holy Light Sect is not as righteous and bright as they say, maybe the Sea of Holy Light is supreme, but their human spokesperson is obviously not.

Of course, at least on the surface, the Xunshan Hermit Cult is still the sworn enemy of the Holy Light Sect, the largest illegal organization, and kills the members of the Hermit Sect when they meet without asking for a reason.

"You said that the archbishop is a member of the Xunshan Hermitage Order, what evidence do you have?" A priest who had always loved the archbishop asked aloud.

He was suspicious when the Faceless first claimed that the archbishop and the saint were apostasy, and now he claims that the archbishop is a member of the monastic order, which literally nails him to the pillar of shame and ...... How can you convince others of slandering one person without such evidence?

"Evidence? Since Rowan is here, why don't you let him show the evidence himself, Rowan, show your heart of faith to everyone, if you are not a member of the hermitage, I will judge myself in front of you, how about it? ”

The Faceless One laughed, and Yu Crisp took out a pen and drew an enthusiastic smile on his face.

"Rowan, as long as you are willing to show your faith, if I have wronged you, I will collapse my faith and die in front of you. I am a man of my word, and I can bear witness to it by an oath of faith. So, it's up to you. ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Rowan.

If he is questioned for some reason and asks for self-confession, Rowan can scold: I don't need to show faith to the devil, his decades of piety are enough to win people's trust. However, the faceless one, as soon as he came up, he had a high-pressure policy, forced the archbishop and the saint to rebel, and his methods were radical and even vicious, and it was necessary to show his heart of faith.

But now the situation is different, the faceless one piles up the bets to infinity, and uses his net worth and life as a guarantee, and Luo Wan can only keep up. He previously rendered the Faceless One as the root of all evil, as long as he eliminated him, then now there is a way to destroy the Faceless One without much effort, do you use it? As long as you lose your face a little, you can let the villain give the head, do you do it?

Rowan had no choice.

Facing the gaze of tens of millions of people, Luo Wan sighed: "Ah, it is worthy of being the sharpest knife in the Holy City." I can't imagine that no one has discovered this secret for so many years, but it will be obvious to you. ”

As he spoke, Luo Wan opened his chest, a white light lit up in front of his chest, and a white-gold heart-shaped object emerged. That was Rowan's heart of faith.

At the same time, inside and outside Dragon City, there were bursts of surprised cries one after another.

The luster of the heart of faith is pure and clear, symbolizing Rowan's unwavering faith in the Light, and as the archbishop of the diocese, Rowan's faith is undoubtedly firm and pious. But in the heart of faith, there is a deep imprint, like an ugly scar, which is extremely eye-catching.

And it was this imprint that caused countless exclamations, because it was the symbol of the Xunshan Hermitage Order

The Faceless One is right, the archbishop who has served the Church for decades is the biggest rebel of the Church

After the biggest secret was revealed, the archbishop was extraordinarily calm, he lightly withdrew his faith, put on his holy robes, and said: "Since Joan of Arc was burned at the stake eighty years ago, I know that this church is incorrigible. A saint who saved thousands of believers was slandered as a heretic, and the top leaders of the church were immersed in the inheritance of the golden king in Taobao City, and refused to even look back at the sins that happened behind their backs. They did the wrong thing, killed the wrong people, and got away with it. How can people not question such a church? ”

There was nothing impassioned in his words, and the secret that had been stuffed in his heart for decades was once revealed, but Luo Wan had no joy or sorrow.

Because everything doesn't matter anymore, he has seen Joan of Arc again, even if he dies immediately, even if he is ruined, what can he do? It's a pity that at the last moment of his life, he failed to realize the expectations of the saint, and this war cannot be quelled by him alone.

"Ha Luha, this is really a touching speech, apostasy can be so wonderful, what else can't you do? Unfortunately, if you do not join the monastic and are willing to be disgraced and make what you say public as an archbishop, it will still be somewhat convincing, but now all I hear is the whispers of apostates. O Cultists of the Light, there are only two paths before you, either go down the path with compassion and apostate, or prove your faith with the sword in your hand. ”

After the faceless doppelganger finished speaking, he disappeared like a dream, absorbed by the deity, and continued to suppress Bedwell. And on the battlefield, the atmosphere began to change rapidly.

Priests who had sympathized with the archbishop and hesitated about the Faceless One made a decision in their hearts.

The story of the archbishop is indeed wonderful, but no amount of good story can hide the fact that he is an apostate. The significance of the Xunshan Hermitage Seminar, even if it was not known before, at this time, the people on the battlefield were all clear by word of mouth. It was a sworn enemy of the Church who did not need to ask for any reason at all, and anyone who sympathized with or supported the hermit was punished as apostasy without exception

If it was said that people still had a lot of doubts about the sudden chief referee of the Faceless One, but at this time, the suspicion was dispelled a lot, and the Faceless One acted aggressively, because the opponent he faced this time was the head of the land who had served as the archbishop for more than forty years, and his power was everywhere in the Snake Dragon City, if there was no thunderous surprise attack, who knew what would have happened to the Dao?

So...... Although there is still some unbearable in my heart, the members of the Xunshan Hermit Sect must die

On the side of the Holy Light Cult, the unprecedented morale gathered, and the priests and paladins shared the same hatred and clenched the blades in their hands.

"Ha Luha, O Rowan, thank you for exposing your shortcomings and making our army stronger. Now, it's time to launch a general offensive and wipe out the apostates and heretics."

With the Faceless Ones laughing wildly, the Holy Light Cultists began to press on in a big way, and in order to be able to get closer to the front line, the priests' formations became denser, although the possibility of taking damage was greatly increased, but under the holy war, seeing that the victory was decided, people could not care so much. At this time, it is more important to prove yourself with a courageous and sacrificial attitude than anything else.

And at the same time, Wang Lu, who was watching coldly, said lightly: "The flower picking operation can start."

The war has entered the last moment, the battlefield is like an egg, the Dragon City guards were compressed into a ball by the white Holy Light Legion, and lost the protection of the last three fortresses, and the Dragon City guards had no danger to defend, using flesh and blood to build a defensive line, crumbling.

At this point, the damage suffered by the Dragon City Guardian was not too great, the previous few battle line transfers were all in exchange for valuable space for respite, and the more than thirty high-level professionals present at the Dragon City Guardian had only lost three or four people after the fierce battle. The casualties in the middle level were relatively heavy, but they were less than one-fifth, and with the elite of the Dragon City Guards, there was not much of a setback in morale. The loss of the Holy Light Sect was twice as great, and this all-out mobilization plus the high-level professionals brought by the Faceless Ones from the provincial capital totaled more than eighty people, and they also lost one-tenth, and the middle-level losses were even heavier. The two sides barely reached a balance of power.

However, the situation of equal strength ended here, after losing all the strategic depth, the geographical advantage of the defenders of Dragon City was almost completely shattered, and they could no longer rely on the familiar terrain and the pre-arranged formation, give full play to their tactical expertise, and quickly annihilate the opponent's vital force with local advantages. You must rely on flesh and blood to face a superior force that is several times your own.

The Dragon City Guards are like an egg that has been highly squeezed, ready to shatter and crack at any time.

And they had no way to turn the tide, and the strongest leader, Bedwell, was caught in a bitter battle in the air, the silver knight's heavy armor covered with scars, and even the inscription on the knight's sword flickered and dimmed. The sharp sword qi was dim, and compared to the power of the initial aftermath that could also cut through the mountains, the power had been reduced by more than half, and it was only a matter of time before the defeat was defeated.

The high-level professionals of the Dragon City Guardians faced more than twice as many opponents of the same level, and they could only rely on the forbidden method of burning their lives to encourage them to resist. The middle-level forces can rely on tactical command to outnumber the enemy, but the Holy Light Cultists have gradually adapted to the command of the Archon of Light, and tactically they quickly catch up, faintly surpassing the momentum

No matter which way you look at it, the Dragon City Guardians are already sure to be defeated.

At this time, unless there is another external force that can affect the situation. But within a radius of thousands of miles from Dragon City, where is there an external force that is enough to subvert the situation?

In the air, the Faceless once again stabbed the short sword infused with the Infinite Curse into Bedwell's body in a near-sneak attack, tilting the scales of victory further. But at the same time, his attention was on the following

If anything, what else can change now...... The Kyushu man who intercepted himself and captured Marina's mother and daughter in a strange way is the biggest suspect.

Come on, let me see what you Kyushu people are capable of.

Just after the thought, on the battlefield, a place where more than 100 priests gathered, suddenly burst out with more than ten magnificent sword lights, like a blooming rainbow flower.

The flowers are gorgeous, but they contain a deadly killing intention, and each petal is a sharp blade, which kills when touched. The flowers bloomed, and more than 100 priests were churned into meat puree in an instant.

Among the stamens, a girl in a gorgeous long skirt was slowly retracting the more than ten flying swords scattered outside, and her face was smiling like a flower.
