Chapter 22: The Beginning of War

The war officially began, and it is estimated that all the Soma people did not expect that the two sides of this war were not a confrontation between warlords as they had always thought, but a shili, a religion that had only been around for a month and had never heard of.

Now the whole Soma is divided into two worlds, one side is the shrine Shili headed by Sori Harbor, and the other side is Shili who is joined by the four major warlords. The two sides have become close to each other, reaching the point where war is on the verge of breaking out. The reason for the external declaration is very simple, one side believes that the other party is the culprit who destroys Soma's balance and is the murderer who destroys Soma. The other side thinks that the other party is a sinner of Soma and cannot bring light to Soma.

The Polivi River, the only river in Soma that has not dried up, is also the dividing river that divides the north and south of Soma, and is also a battlefield for temples and warlords.

On the south bank of the Polivier River, Fiero looked across the river, his eyes focused on a man who was more than 1.9 meters tall, like a bear, with charcoal black skin, enough to be scared to cry for a three-year-old child.

The man was none other than Camo's best general, Best, who was also staring at Fierro on the other side of the river. Best looked at Fierro with a torch in his eyes, he was also very interested in Fierro, although he had the basic information of the other party in his hand, he obviously felt that the other party did not seem to be as ordinary as the information said, but it made him feel vigilant.

"Knight-sir!" Several officers stood behind Fierro, all of whom were capable men of the Templar Warlords, who had fought on the battlefield for many years and were well versed in warfare.

This time they are the main force, and Fiero is just a prison guard, to be precise, to give some superpower assistance. As for the Destiny Legion, he was sent to fight the warlord Bailey, because Bailey's territory is located in the southernmost part of Soma, and Zhang Xiaojian will definitely not let the temple suffer from the enemy, so he sent the Destiny Legion. Of course, it is a war, but in fact, it is to expand the number of the Destiny Legion.

Bailey, who lost the main force, was not taken seriously by Zhang Xiaojian at all, and the same meeting that those warlords also attended did not call him, just because the Liliang he had left was not as good as those warlords who couldn't get on the stage in the eyes of the four warlords.

Of course, in the later stages of the war, Fierro would naturally command his expanded Destiny Legion to carry out a general attack on Zuihou. Although this is suspected of borrowing merit, in Zhang Xiaojian's opinion, there is nothing, as long as the prestige of the Destiny Legion is out.

Fierro turned around, he already roughly knew the number of people on the other side, no more than 60,000 troops, this is already the maximum number of troops taken out by the four major warlords, no matter how much they can support, one is that there is not so much money, and the other is that the country of Soma is too small. The country is poor and the population is too large, so people are not a problem, but food for soldiers is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle.

But there are only 30,000 troops on Fierro's side, which is the result of more than a dozen warlords, don't look at a dozen warlords, in fact, each warlord has a maximum of a few thousand soldiers, and even some warlords only have a few hundred soldiers in their hands. A dozen warlords barely managed to scrape together 30,000. It is conceivable that these warlords are completely like Wall-E compared to the four major warlords, and they can be shattered at the touch of a button.

"You are preparing for war. On the left side of the opponent, where the military strength is weak, and on the right, where the military forces are gathered, it should be a place where armaments and food are piled up. You don't have to worry about the right side, it's not something you can beat, let's spend with each other first, with the support of our temple. Don't worry about logistics. "Fiero has detected the distribution of the opposing army.

Fighting a war of attrition with the Soma warlords is undoubtedly the best and easiest for the Temple. Compared with the resources of the temple, who in Africa can compete? The resources in the hands of the church in country Z can be said to be innumerable, and the Wang family, one of the four great families of country Z, has already joined the church, and the temple of Sori, which is supported by the church, will be afraid of running out of food and arms?

And tomorrow will naturally be the second supply of the church to the temple of Sori. A large amount of arms and food will be provided, as His Holiness the Pope has given orders for the Church to provide the maximum amount of supplies to the Temple of Sori.

"Yes, Knight!" The officers knew that the status of the person in front of them was quite high in the Temple of Sori, and it was definitely not inferior to the status they had gained from the warlords who had already joined the Temple. So they were quite respectful and didn't show any dissatisfaction. What's more, everyone knows the power of the Solri Temple.

What's more, everyone knows that the Sori Temple belongs to a church called the Temple of Destiny in Soma's sub-temple, not to mention that the Sori Temple defeated Bailey, the head of the warlords, within a few days of its establishment, which shocked the entire Soma, and made the rest of the small warlords except for the four major warlords take refuge and cling to each other.

Fiero nodded and walked into a large green tent with a red cross above the entrance to the tent, indicating that it was a tent. Inside the tent were dozens of priests in white robes, all of whom had been transferred from the temple of Sori, and Soma's medical condition was so poor that the wounded soldiers could not be healed at all.

"It may be very hard for everyone to follow, and the Pope decrees that every wounded soldier must be saved as much as possible, in order to spread the faith of the Lord, praise the Pope, praise the Lord!" Fiero smiled, he was not proficient in the healing arts, but now he was in charge of this place, so these words should naturally be relayed by him.

"Praise the Lord, whose glory blesses the world, heals wounds, and allows the lost lamb to find faith!" The pastors shouted praise, their faces full of piety.

The protagonists of this war are not them, but those ordinary soldiers, but it is they who dominate this war, it is the temple.

On the other side of the river, Best felt a pressure, he had just felt a threat from Fierro, something he had never felt in all the years he had been fighting. In every war, he has the confidence to play the other side in the palm of his hand. And now he felt that the other party seemed to have seen through himself, inside and out.

……

At the southern end of Soma, a one-sided war is going on.

The Knights of Destiny were scattered in the valley, wandering among a large group of soldiers, and this valley was very strange, shrouded in white mist, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside. And the whole valley is particularly strange, above it is an endless golden light emanating, as if a sun is shining high.

The golden light fell on each of the soldiers of the warlord Bailey, and in the golden light, they smiled, as if they had seen the most beautiful thing in their lives.

Every knight of the Knights of Destiny constantly inspires these soldiers. Let them establish the most basic beliefs. Although this belief is weak, it is also a seed, and without the action of external forces, the seed will sprout, and the zuihou will grow into a large tree. When they become a big tree, it will be when they become a Knight of Destiny.

On a hill, Relo watched the psychedelic soldiers in the valley. With a smile, he popularized as a bishop, and his strength successfully broke through to the ninth level of priesthood, which was currently the highest level priest in the entire church. The real reason is not that the priest is not religious enough, but that Tuure has not yet ascended to the altar, so the priest is naturally restricted.

The golden sun in the sky was the divine technique released by Lei Luo, this was the most powerful divine technique he could unleash, and it was also the only ninth-level divine technique he had learned so far.

Divine art is divided into one to nine levels, and the ninth level divine art can already be called the ultimate divine art. Further up, that kind of divine magic is called transcendent divine magic, which transcends the boundaries of the mortal, and without the support of divine power, the priest has to perform it and will dedicate his life.

Beyond the valley, Bailey looked at the mist, he couldn't believe it was true, but he really felt that it was all true. It's not that I'm dreaming. He didn't hear the sound of artillery on the battlefield, nor did he hear the sound of fighting. No screams of slaughter were heard.

Quiet, horribly quiet!

Bailey sat in the jeep, looking at the white mist, and couldn't help but shoot a few shots inside, but there was no response, as if he was sinking into the sea. Disappeared without a sound.

"How is that possible?" Bailey roared as his main force was defeated by his trusted lieutenant. Having lost the port of Sori and losing the main army, then he would have no liliang to contend with the rest of the warlords, so he had to send troops to attack Sori. But Nazhi had just walked to this valley with his remaining 20,000 troops who were not strong in combat, and he was enveloped in a white mist.

And he was not shrouded in white fog because he was one step too slow.

Bailey looked at the terrifyingly silent valley with some fear, and did not dare to step forward, although he knew the general shape of the road in this area, but the white mist made him feel an inexplicable fear in his heart, as if it was impossible to come out again once he entered.

"Damn it!" Bailey scolded angrily, he secretly said that he was extremely unlucky, he was very worried about the soldiers in the white mist, because these soldiers were his only Liliang at the moment, and he could be said to have come out of the nest in order to retake Soli Harbor. Of course, he wouldn't believe that the temple in Porto Sori was really that powerful, he would rather believe that his lieutenant was too stupid to fall for the other party's tricks.

A strength that appears silently can wipe out an army of 10,000 people, no matter how you think about it, it is incredible. The other side has no troops, and the other has no foundation. Bailey is confident that his army can compete with the M 30,000 army, this is not his arrogance, but every one of his soldiers is hovering on the edge of life and death, spending every day in war.

It was impossible to think that the temple of Soli would be able to destroy an entire army in one day, and for Bailey it was annihilation, and he was unwilling to admit that his soldiers had surrendered. Of course, he didn't know the situation at that time, which is also the reason why he took the initiative now.

It's not that he's in a hurry, it's that he has to retake Port Sori in the shortest possible time, otherwise he won't have any chance of turning over.

Just as Bailey hesitated to enter the white mist, a figure appeared beside him.

The moment the figure appeared, Bailey turned his head and looked at the short figure, and when he saw the other party, his eyes suddenly widened, like a bull in heat.

Bailey gasped, in front of him was a young man, there was no expression on his face, to be precise, there was no emotion, like a weapon, the chill made him feel cold.

"It's a pity, if you are in the white mist, at least you won't die." The boy's words were cold and piercing, shooting directly through Bailey's heart, making him feel cold and piercing. "Great Lord of Destiny, your humble believers will clear all obstacles for you!"

Before Bailey could react to the meaning of the young man's words, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the next moment he felt a chill in his neck, and his consciousness slowly disappeared.

……

"Lord Lei Luo, I've got the matter done!" The same boy knelt on one knee behind Lei Luo, his voice mixed with piety, but also seemed to be fearful.

Lei Luo heard the fear in the young man's tone, he smiled and turned back to the young man and said, "Devout believers don't have to feel any guilt and fear, everything you have done for the Lord is seen by the great Lord, and when you ascend to the kingdom of God in the future, you will definitely have your place!" ”

The boy smiled when he heard this, he was about to starve to death, when he remembered that he had fallen into a coma, and in the coma, a warm breath spread throughout his body, making him feel more warm and secure than he had ever felt before, and when he woke up, he found himself in a temple.

Lei Luo continued to look at the situation in the valley, the speed at which the knight baptized these soldiers was too slow, far less fast than the priest, but there were fifty thousand knights of destiny, and those soldiers were only twenty thousand to three, the difference in numbers was twice as fast, which would make the speed much faster.

"Once this is settled, the real war is about to break out." Lei Luo said softly, but his tone was a little heavy, this was because he had not slowed down because of the ninth-level divine technique.

With Lei Luo's current situation, it is a little difficult to cast a ninth-level divine technique, not that a ninth-level priest can cast a ninth-level divine technique effortlessly, and there is a big gap between each level of divine art, compared with the eighth-level large-scale healing divine technique and the ninth-level divine magic life hymn, the holy power required for a complete version of the life hymn is undoubtedly huge, because he has already involved the life force, it is to sublimate the essence of the creature, it is much more powerful than the eighth-level large-scale healing divine technique, and the holy power required is even more than ten times that of it.

The young man looked puzzled at the bishop in his mind, this bishop Lei Luo was equivalent to a god in his heart, of course, this could not be compared.

He wondered if there would be a war in Weishenme, and wouldn't the temple be supposed to prevent it from breaking out? In this way, more people will not lose their lives and more people can feel the greatness of God.

Lei Luo shook his head, looked at the young man, and asked, "You don't understand?" ”

The boy nodded his head very sincerely, expressing his doubts.

"I don't understand the night." Lei Luo looked at the sky and said something that made the young man even more incomprehensible, "Only by sacrificing some people to make more people happy, can more people feel the majesty and mercy of God." (To be continued......)
