Chapter 147: Igniting the Light

Moss felt lucky enough to have escaped Renault's purge, but it wasn't until he made two missions to Icefield that he realized how unlucky he was.

Just like now, not long after returning to Byron, he was immediately appointed commander of a knightly order of five hundred knights, and Jarvis personally promised him that if he could do that, he would become the commander of Byron's Praetorian Guard, and there would be no danger again.

"Heh, with just 500 people, I want to destroy the Capet family that owns three cities, I really don't know how this stupid pig got into the position of regent. โ€

Riding on a tall horse, Moss was in a gloomy mood, and if it weren't for the Archbishop of Slan and the Knights of the Church, he would not have accepted such a stupid order even if he disobeyed.

The entire knight order has the same mood as Homos, how can only 500 people capture the Capetian family with tens of thousands of defenders?

Although Archbishop Slan has issued a heresy inquisition, condemning the Capetian family as heretical, and it is true that many civilians have responded to the church's call to leave the Capetian family's territory along the way, but these people who have left are insignificant compared to the majority of the people who still stay in the three cities.

However, in a good direction, if Archbishop Slan dares to go with the Knights, it means that he must have a plan, and maybe the Knights will not need to spend a single soldier, and Count Capet himself will open the door and beg to surrender.

"The Western Legion has already returned, why did they send me so many people?" The depressed Moss could hardly imagine the possibility of his victory, so he marched all the way, wanting to arrive at the Capet family's lair, Capet City, a little later.

However, it backfired, the city of Capet was located in the middle of Aura, it was spring, the waterway was clear, and Jarvis had already ordered the ships to be prepared, and the whole knight order only four days from Byron to the vicinity of the city of Capet, and then changed to the land route, as more and more people left the city of Capet, the knights knew that the city of Capet was about to arrive.

Moss actually thought about escaping, but in that case, his life would be over, not only would he be charged with being a traitor and damaging chivalry, but he would also have to live forever, and if he was caught, his fate would be no different from that of a witch, which would be worse than killing him directly.

From time to time, he looked back at Archbishop Silan's carriage, and often sent people to ask him if he needed to stop and rest, and now Silan was the only lifeline for the knights, and no one dared to slack off in the slightest.

The largest city in the Capet family's territory, Capetian City, has finally arrived.

From a distance, the moat of Capet City is very wide, the walls are majestic and heavy, the armor on the knights of the city is shining, and the city gates are closed, as if the designation of Count Capet as a heretic has not affected Capet City in the slightest, and the Capetian family is still ready to resist Byron by force.

"Your Excellency. โ€

As soon as the knights stopped, Slan stepped out of the carriage with a heavy book in his arms, and Moss hurriedly greeted him.

"Good work, Moss Knight. โ€

"It is an honor for us to serve God. โ€

There are many gods in the Church of Ola, but the most widespread is a god called "God", and the archbishops of the church are generally considered to be the communicators of God's will, and what the archbishops do is equal to God's will.

"You must be wondering, how can we have only five hundred people to deal with tens of thousands of Capet, right?"

Archbishop Slan is very young, he looks much younger than Moss, but the momentum on his body is very amazing, go

When he was on the road, he stood straight, and his head was slightly raised as if he wanted to look at everything.

"I ...... Not...... Yes, but as long as it is the will of God, we will surely go to the soup and die without giving up. After seeing the calm and relaxed Silan, Moss's slightly wavering faith actually became a little firmer.

Not long ago, when he went to Icefield City, he knew that Felihill had recruited a witch as a subordinate, and Felihill told him that Jarvis also had the shadow of a witch behind him, he thought Philicille was talking nonsense at first, but when he told Jarvis about it, Jarvis's reaction was surprisingly calm, such a reaction made Moss unacceptable, he would be fine if he was furious, but his calm reaction made people wonder if he really got the help of the witch, that is, shortly after, he was appointed as the commander of the five hundred knights, which made him have to suspect that Jarvis sent himself to death because he knew his secretใ€‚

But now that there are no women around the bright and pure Archbishop of Slan, he must have a way to subdue these heresies, and he can escape from the conspiracy of Yalvis.

In the light of the twilight, Slan looked in the direction of Cape, the golden sunlight shining on his pure clerical uniform, and at this moment, the knights almost thought that the gods had descended, "You don't have to worry, when the night moon appears, the moon god will take the lives of these heretics." โ€

"Yes. โ€

The knights bowed their heads in unison, and for some reason, their faith became stronger than ever at this moment.

Moss then ordered to camp on the spot, and erected the Flaming Dragon Banner and the Golden Eye Banner, indicating that the royal army and at least one archbishop were on their way.

Sure enough, when the banner with the golden eyes was erected, there seemed to be some commotion at the head of the city of Cape, but it quickly subsided, and it seemed that Count Cape's position was very firm, and even if the archbishop himself came, he would not back down a point.

Thanks to Slan's instructions, Moss was much more relieved, and now they didn't have to rush into the city to die, they just stayed in their tents and prayed for the moon god to come, even if it was just Slan's lie, at least there was something to pray for.

Just when the knights were praying sincerely, Slan opened the book of witches in his hand in the big tent, this magic book written by the queen of the Ola kingdom with her life, it recorded many mysteries, if he could fully control this book, he would have everything in the world, but unfortunately men can't have magic power, so it takes a lot of effort to control this book every time.

The book remained sealed in the Church's treasury as the most evil example in the world, until his teacher, the former archbishop, began to study the book, and many astonishing secrets finally emerged before his eyes.

It was at that time that Silan realized that witches were not special, they were just ordinary women, and even before the country of Ola, this continent used to be a glorious era of magic, witches and men coexisted peacefully and loved each other, but now, witches have become a taboo that everyone spurns, even children who have not gone to school, when they see witches, they will stone each other's heads to pieces, they don't need to know if the other party has done anything bad, just because the church tells them that witches deserve to die, and that's enoughใ€‚

"Look, what a ridiculous reason?" Slan, when he first learned the truth of the book, felt that all the methods of faith and deception of the people were so shoddy and ridiculous, that he wanted to tear through the cage, but he had to curl up in it, hibernating, and he did not want to make the truth public, because then he would surely be regarded as a madman, and it was better to make good use of it

The collection of the world, to acquire and know all the mysteries.

Until now, he has become an archbishop, and this magic book has become a secret for him to keep alone.

Silan has no ambition to unify the continent and become the emperor, he feels that any worldly false name is meaningless, the only thing he wants to do now is to get a glimpse of the true meaning of the magic book and find a way to break all shackles, for this reason, the more chaotic the situation on the continent, the more beneficial it will be for him.

"Renault, as the first test subject of my necromancy spell, you must not be dead yet, right?" Walking out of the big tent, the knights' tent was very quiet, the bright moonlight sprinkled down, and the ground seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of hoarfrost, "You have already gained great strength, why are you still hiding?"

In the middle of the night, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and Silan, who had been waiting for a long time in the moonlight, opened the magic book and began to chant in a low voice.

As strange and obscure syllables came out of his mouth, a dark pattern of stars began to appear over the Knights' camp, and since this pattern did not emit any light, the knight on duty did not even notice it.

The chanting didn't last long, and when Slan closed the spellbook, all but a few tents around Slan were ablaze with fluorescent white flames.

The strange white flames burned so fast that the tents of the five hundred men, including the horses and the flags, melted away like ice and snow in an instant, and everything disappeared without a sound from beginning to end.

At the same time, the towering city of Capet in the distance has also changed a little.

The moonlight over Capet was getting brighter and brighter, and many people were waking up from their sleep, stepping out of their rooms, squinting at the light-filled world around them, and the bright moonlight continued to brighten, with an intense glow that made it almost impossible to see anything around them.

Silan looked at Kapei City, which was shrouded in light, ignoring the ridiculous behavior of the surviving knights around him kneeling down to worship the light, and said softly, "Let's start." โ€

As soon as Slan's words fell, a breeze blew, and the bright light in the direction of Capet City seemed to suddenly dim a lot.

Strange and massive flames enveloped the entire sprawling city of Capet.

Whether it was a dazed man or animal or a solid city wall, it turned into a burst of ethereal white flames in an instant, and there was no scream, and there was no sound of buildings collapsing.

The moment the light turned into flames, everything was over, and now all you see is the embers after the fire.

The pure white flames were soon completely annihilated, and the solid and huge walls were gone, and there were no houses or figures to be seen, as if even the moonlight was avoiding the place, and from a distance, there was only a thick darkness.

Capetian City, just gone.

All the sins and joys were all gone up in smoke at this moment, leaving no trace.

Whether it is a good person or a bad person, a man or a woman, a guilty and innocent, a sad and cheerful one, it all ends at this moment.

Silan didn't think it was cruel, he didn't even think about it, he just felt happy, the joy of using magic, and he didn't feel anything else.

But one thing is good, and that is that in this silent disaster, everyone crossed life and death in an instant, and no one felt pain.

The breeze lifted the corners of Slan's clothes, and he spread his hands and showed a fanatical smile, "I lit the light!" 2k reading web
