Chapter 324: The Scarlet Crusaders
A few days later, the church announced that the Pope had summoned Uther, the god of light, through the ancient circle, and the whole city of Jesar was jubilant, and countless believers of light wept with joy and came to the front of the church, knelt on the ground and worshipped to welcome Uther's return.
On this day, the whole city seemed to be joyful, excited, excited, and exhausted, only two people were in a mood that was out of step with the city.
One was the smiling Pope standing behind Uther, and the other was the expressionless Hayes not far behind the Pope.
At this time, Hayes's costume was completely different, and on his arm, he wore the emblem of a four-star Paladin of Light.
His identity is no longer just a Bright Knight Captain, but has become the Captain of the Bright Knight Praetorian Guard. It is said that this is because Hayes brought back something that has a great effect on summoning Uther, so he is exceptionally promoted.
Hayes looked at the glorious armband, at the paladins who worshiped him, but there was no trace of joy in his heart.
Originally, he thought that the Pope would kill him, but the Pope didn't, and he didn't know why. The church has done too much in the past, and he himself has done a lot.
In order to maintain the honor of the Church, those who know some secrets of the Church must die, just as the matter of secretly screening people who resemble Uther's appearance must not be leaked.
Now, Hayes, arguably the one who knows the truth of this matter best, should be certain to die, why did the Pope let him go and promoted him to be the captain of the Praetorian Guard.
Hayes was very puzzled, he was not happy that he had saved his life, and if the Pope really killed him, Hayes felt that it was a relief.
Because he no longer knows how to face Uther and the church in front of him, it is better to survive in this contradictory struggle than to die.
In that case, before he died, he would have been able to figure out whether he would be loyal to Uther or to the Church.
And now, he looked at the fake Uther in front of him, and at the crowd cheering like ants below, but he was like a puppet with a thread, a walking corpse.
That day, after the Pope left, Hayes knew that the Pope was going to start making a decision whether to choose greed or faith.
But in the end, the Pope chose the former, perhaps, having been the Pope for so many years, even he himself did not know whether the deity he enclosed was Uther or himself.
Why does Uther have to be a god? Just because he's a character of antiquity? He's just a bit stronger.
When it comes to the power position of the pope, to the point where he has such great power, he really doesn't care so much about God anymore.
Gods are just powerful people, so if they can be gods, why can't I?
This is the kind of thinking that people will have after reaching a certain level of strength.
So, the Pope chose to become a god himself.
Now, he has taken the first step to push out a fake Uther and call on all the civilians who believe in the god of light to form a crusade and prepare to begin their plot against the continent.
Originally, if there was no such thing, the Pope's plan would have been postponed for two years, and when this world became more chaotic, it would have begun to appear as a salvation and unify the continent.
But now, the real Uther has appeared, and he has to advance his plans.
"Who is that Xiao Yu? Why can you summon back Uther. If the Uther he summoned was real, then Antonidas, Kael'thas, and all of them were very likely to be true as well. In that case, his strength is not ordinarily strong, and he must be strangled in the cradle. ”
The Pope's demeanor was as always, amiable, with a divine brilliance, which made people feel like a spring breeze, and there was a strong urge to worship in their hearts.
However, in his heart, he was thinking about how to strangle the real Uther so that he could realize his plan to dominate the continent.
After this day, the church prepared a large army in the name of blasphemy by Xiao Yu, the Duke of the Lion King, and prepared a large army to go to the Lion King's territory.
Only by killing the real Uther will the Pope's heart be at ease.
At the same time, the Church also used this name to begin the march of conscription of Crusaders, preparing to organize a Scarlet Crusader force comparable to that of antiquity.
In the past, the church was the church after all, and the Tianshi Dynasty was the real administrator, so the church did not have so many troops, but mainly cultivated paladins.
And now, the Pope is ready to let go of this shackle.
There is no way, Xiao Yu's appearance, Uther's appearance, completely disrupted his plan, he can't wait any longer, if Xiao Yu is allowed to rise and Uther grows, then it will be a huge threat to him.
So, he had to start working on it now. What he didn't know was that his series of actions made other people start to take action too, no longer having so many scruples, and opened the prelude to this troubled era.
At this time, Xiao Yu was still drinking heartlessly in the Lion King City, and in the past few days, the Kennedy family's army had no way to attack, and Xiao Yu also sent the air force to sneak attack from time to time, causing a lot of damage to the other party.
After a period of fighting, these newly summoned soldiers have basically reached level 10, so the strength of the fully skilled soldiers is much stronger.
The Kennedys now have little to do but be depressed.
Being so harassed by the undead, they have no way to attack the city at all, if once the city is attacked, they are already tired during the day, and then they are attacked by the undead at night, it will definitely make their situation worse.
At this time, in a dense forest in the distance, Nikolai was lying on a huge rocking chair, enjoying the delicious taste of wine and the massage of beautiful people.
"Have the undead found out?" Nikolai didn't look back, he already felt the person behind him.
The man behind him immediately replied: "Those undead have entered the Ankola Mountains, but it is difficult to find a trace, as if they have some stealth skills. ”
"Does this matter have anything to do with the Lion King Leader?" Nikolai's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, he didn't believe that these undead came out at random, and they had nothing to do with the lion king.
But the key is that he can't catch a little evidence, and he can't get in touch with Xiao Yu.
"There is no indication that this undead team has anything to do with the Lion King City, and recently I heard that the Paladin Hayes of the Church came to the Lion King City to find out about Xiao Yu's Paladin Uther. In the end, Hayes seemed to leave extremely unpleasantly, and it seemed that Xiao Yu was about to have trouble with the church again. The man reported again.
"Oh? If he does this, it will be a matter of time before he gets into trouble with the church, even if it is me, I don't dare to make a fake Uther out, just get out Antonidas, after all, there are so many magicians, but there is no complete organization, there will not be much reaction, but the paladin has always been the privilege of the church, and making a Uther is not clearly difficult to get along with the church? Nikolai didn't care too much about Antonidas, Uther and others in Xiao Yu's hands.
Because he also felt that it was impossible, how could the ancient characters really come back to this world.
Even if there were, it was definitely fake, and he had thought of many plans to impersonate those ancient heroes, so there was nothing unusual about it.
It's just that he thinks that Xiao Yu is too revealing of his traces, so it is obvious that this move is not good.
However, Xiao Yu is obviously not an ordinary person, in fact, he is a hooligan, a ruffian, and he can't be deduced by common sense.
"How's that Kael'thas with him?" Now, Nikolai has completely absorbed the blood elves, and through the water of the well of the sun, he has supplied them with magic power, which can be said to have formed a powerful army of magicians, which made him very proud.
Therefore, for the Kael'thas in Xiao Yu's hand, he also paid attention to it.
"Kael'thas doesn't seem to be too special in the Lion King's Territory right now, that is, he is just a relatively powerful magician. However, there are some other blood elf soldiers in the Lion King City, it seems that they are the legendary spellbreakers and dragon eagle knights, these are all famous combat units of the blood elves in ancient times, and it is unknown where he got them. The man said again.
"Well, I've also seen this, the Spellbreaker is indeed an extremely powerful unit, and if it is against the magician, it will have a great effect. Now among my blood elves, there are also some law breakers, and there are secret methods for practicing law breaker skills, but there are none, but there are not many blood elves left of such things as dragon eagles, where did he get so many dragon eagles? "Kael'thas still can't guess a lot about Xiao Yu.
He has been running around for so many years, and he has collected a lot of good things, but he still can't compare with Xiao Yu.
There are too many types of units in Xiao Yu.
Especially the air force unit, he is even more envious, you know, Nikolai racked his brains in order to prepare for the air force.
Even, in order to have a strong air force, he even did not hesitate to win over the legendary Harpy.
"If we can win those harpies, it's a huge victory." Nikolai was still thinking about recovering the Harpy.
It's just that he also knows that this matter can't be rushed, and the harpy is extremely bloodthirsty and likes to kill, even if it is recovered, it is not easy to manage.
"Young Master Qiqi, there is news from the city of Jesa that the church has successfully summoned Uther back and has begun to form the Scarlet Crusade." At this time, another person quietly came behind Nikolai and whispered.
"What?" When Nikolai heard the news, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and some of the wine in his hand spilled.
"What the hell is the old fellow Pope thinking? Why did you start moving Uther out in such a hurry? And he also began to form the Scarlet Crusade, didn't he know that as soon as he came, the situation on the continent would immediately begin to change? ”
Nikolai couldn't help but stand up, frowning, and pacing back and forth in place.
The Pope, Nikolai is deeply aware of it, and knows that he is definitely a cunning old fox, but how did he make this move.
It's a stinky move.
"Could it be that something compelled him to move out of this Uther at once? And the only person who can influence him to make this decision in the near future is the Uther under Xiao Yu. However, Xiao Yu's Uther is just an impostor, he can ignore it at all, just declare it as fake, no one will believe Xiao Yu, not him, the pope. Unless ......"
At this time, Nikolai's eyes flashed with shock, and the wine glass in his hand was also pinched and shattered.
