The Honor Tournament was the first large-scale event held after the establishment of the Europa Empire, and it was a declaration of the arrival of the EU people to the whole world.

To a certain extent, the people who planned this event borrowed from the martial arts competition held by the New Huaxia people, and the EU people prepared for this event for a year and a half.

The EU people are envious of New China in their bones, and they hope that the new country they have established in this world will come out of the war, take off in the war, and leave a mark of martial arts.

The Dawn Temple, as the most reliable native ally of the Europa Empire, expressed great displeasure with this, believing that the Europa were courting Campas, the god of war.

It's just a pity that neither the EU people themselves nor the Lord of Dawn seem to care too much about this dissatisfaction, as the spokesperson of the Lord of Dawn in the mortal world, His Excellency the Pope of the Dawn Temple vaguely feels as if he has been expelled by the gods he serves and the newly established country.

There must have been other agreements between them.

Once again, Pope Philip knelt before his magnificent chair and prayed like the Lord of the Dawn: "You are the primordial light, you are the majestic day, you are the sun that gives warmth and light to this world, you are the first rays of morning light that pours on this world, you are the eternal light of mankind." ”

St. Philip has been in the position of Pope for thirty-two years, and although the Church of Dawn has not made much progress in his hands that is enough to go down in history, the number of believers has steadily increased, and the faith of the Lord of Dawn has been radiated to the periphery by one priest after another, and the Knights of Dawn have carried the light of the Lord in the Chaos Fallen Zone.

He did not make any mistakes, but the Lord of the Dawn abandoned the believers on earth.

St. Philip is a legendary powerhouse, he has been a legend for almost forty years, and naturally has his own understanding of the Holy Light.

The more he understood this realm, the more he realized that the Light did not originate from the Lord of Dawn himself, on the contrary, the closest thing to the truth was that the Lord of Dawn might also be only a user of the power of the Light, but he was already far ahead on this path.

But this does not prevent St. Philip from remaining a believer in the Lord of the Dawn, who he believes to be the leader of his own exemplary path and a guardian of the world.

But as I said before, the Lord of the Dawn seems to have abandoned His earthly believers.

The power of the Holy Light is a violent power that is difficult for mortals to access and control, and the Lord of the Dawn has forcibly controlled the power of the Holy Light with his vast power, popularizing it in the human world in a magical way.

Believers surrender their beliefs, and the gods respond with the corresponding authority, matching the corresponding power, but mortals who are not gifted can have the opportunity to access the power of transcendence and become transcendent, this is a mature mechanism that has been operating for thousands of years.

Although the mechanism is still working, believers can still trade faith for power, but St. Philip can clearly feel that God is no longer there.

The Lord of the Dawn has abandoned that system, and He is no longer answering the prayers of believers, even if the prayer is His agent in the world, Pope St. Philip.

The Pope remembered that one night a few years ago, an angel escaped from the kingdom of the Lord of Dawn and voluntarily fell into the mortal world, he did not run away, did not resist, but was quietly brought back to the Secret Sanctuary by the Temple of Dawn.

He said that in order to fight against chaos, God would give up his personal incarnation in exchange for higher authority and power.

St. Philip could not understand this, or did he not want to understand, what it meant to abandon the personification? The Great Lord of the Dawn was once a mortal? That's why we need to give up the incarnation?

What does it mean to exchange for higher authority and power? And with whom? Ask for it from whom? What is a permission? And what kind of power is it?

St. Philip had 100,000 questions to ask, but he didn't dare, he didn't even dare to think about it, he could only burn the angel to ashes according to the will of the kingdom of God.

The first rays of light from the rising sun shone on the angel's immaculate body, and the wrath of the sun god instantly turned the fallen angel into silver-white ashes, and those ashes were carefully collected by the priests and became an important raw material for a high enchanted weapon.

It had been a long time since St. Philip had received an answer from the Lord of the Dawn, until a daily prayer a year ago, when the Lord of the Dawn, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly received a direct response, and he still remembers the scene vividly.

"Cooperate with the Europa and promise them all conditions." The voice was still that of the Lord of the Dawn, but St. Philip was sure that something was different from within.

"I don't know who you're talking about as Europa, the Great Lord of the Dawn." St. Philips didn't know that there would be a Europa Empire in the future, but he was already sensitively aware of the player's presence: "Do you mean those foreign visitors, the undead?" ”

"Some of them, someone will be looking for you soon."

"Thy will remain, great Lord, and we will always be faithful." St. Philip whispered in response, but the voice of the gods was long gone.

Soon someone found him through the connections of the Church of Waukin, and then a series of conspiracies, personnel appointments, and noble canonizations, and the Dawn Church secretly helped those mysterious people to put together the scattered territories little by little.

That was the prototype of the Europa Empire, and St. Philip and the Church of Dawn participated in the establishment of the Europa Empire throughout the whole process, and provided great help.

In the process, the Church's high-end armed forces, the legendary Paladin Stannis, clashed with the Church over his daughter.

St. Philip is not a pedantic person, the world has long been like a sieve in the face of chaos, what kind of damage can a little girl who is infected with chaos literature and art cause? But the Lord of the Dawn, the current Lord of the Dawn, could not tolerate such a filthy existence.

So the angry Stannis uncovered the truth that the Dawn Church leaders had been trying to hide all along, the power of the Light does not come from the Lord of the Dawn, as long as you are familiar enough with the power of the Light, you can bypass the mechanism set by the Lord of the Dawn and freely call on that powerful power.

As a legendary powerhouse and a user of the power of the Holy Light, Stannis naturally knew about these things for a long time, but doing so was tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest.

St. Philip could not tolerate such an act that shook the foundations of the Church, and he chose to eliminate the threat by force.

And now Stannis has sent his only weakness, his daughter, to the Demon Hunter's lair, Kelmohan Castle.
