Chapter 379: The Faith of the Dawn Disciples
When Alonso asked Archpriest Alonso about his own hesitation in the carriage before, Archpriest Alonso said disapplausively: "Knight of Destiny, I can say one thing that you don't know at all, for thousands of years, there have been countless coups between the Temple of Dawn, not to mention that between us and the Tatsu Hysan Point of the Elder Empire, even if it is the same country and the same temple, there will be bloody battles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAt least three of the Lord of the Dawn's Terrestrial Agents have been killed before the tallest idol in the Temple of Dawn, and the people who killed them, their successors, are all Grand Priests of Light who have been hailed as the greatest Dawn Believers in history. ā
Alonso's words shocked Cecil, the Great Priest of Light is the ultimate evaluation of a great priest after his death, this kind of evaluation is not something that can be made by any temple personnel or a king, this can only be agreed by the Lord of the Dawn himself, Cecil never expected this kind of result: "Is it that the chief priests who were killed are all hypocrites or rebels, so these people are just doing things for the God of Dawn?" ā
Alonso smiled and shook his head: "I thought so at first, but I later saw the secret file of the Dawn Temple and realized that it was not the case at all. The God of Dawn doesn't care if you're right or wrong, he only cares about the loyalty of his followers, and sometimes he even wants his followers to split into two factions, and the split believers want to overwhelm each other, so they must show more devotion than others, so the divided believers are more devout and fanatical than the unified church. The power of the Lord of Dawn will increase even faster, for believers are also one of the sources of power for this god.
Cecil couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, he didn't expect that the god of the dawn, who was the most powerful god of light, was also a guy who only blindly pursued power, it seems that the reason why gods are called gods is only because they have great power, and their morality and greed are probably no different from ordinary people.
And now seeing that Grand Priest Alonso had mastered the situation of the entire Dawn Temple so quickly, and the whole process took less than 1 hour, Cecil had to admire the ability of the Great Priest in his heart. Although Acrea has a shallow foundation, if Grand Priest Alonso had not won the hearts of the people when he was in power in peacetime, he would not have mastered all the power of the Temple of Dawn so easily.
Now, all the centaurs of the Temple of Dawn have entered the Temple of Dawn, and all the priests have knelt in front of the huge statue of the God of Dawn in prayer. Looking at these prayerful priests, Cecil suddenly had a feeling of being separated from the world, and he remembered the day he knelt here to be a paladin, in fact, it was not a long time ago.
Just as Cecil was watching the priests praying behind him, Grand Priest Alonso came over: "Cecil, now is not the time to watch the excitement, we must go to the palace, now the eldest prince is afraid that he has led his troops to attack the palace, the king's Praetorian Guard may have already fought with the three cavalry regiments that have taken refuge in the eldest prince, we must rush there, the Praetorian Paladin Order except for the head Elwin, almost all the upper echelons are paladins, we must mark the position of the Temple of Dawn, and then let these paladins defect, No matter how strong Erwin's strength is, I'm afraid it will be difficult for one person to do anything. ā
"Don't we need to arrest more people?" Cecil asked puzzled when he saw that he and Collins were the only ones accompanying the high priest to the battlefield in front of the palace.
"The Dawn Temple is very important to this continent, I don't want the Dawn Temple to really get involved in the battle, for the eldest prince, we don't need us to provide him with combat power, we just need to be able to provide theoretical support for his succession morally, and even his minimum requirement is that the Dawn Temple does not stand on the opposite side of him, on the contrary, I don't think he wants the priests of the Dawn Temple to fight in person, the priest is still high up and admired." When Grand Priest Alonso said this, he was quite self-deprecating. Being able to joke with himself like this fully shows the trust that Grand Priest Alonso has in him.
Cecil said curiously at this time: "Who is Erwin?" Where did he come from? Is the strength really strong? ā
"Erwin is a rare genius, not a nobleman but born to be a revelator, in history can only be stronger than him is Lantros, is the oracle knight of the Temple of Bravery, this is a profession comparable to the knight of the Mandate of Heaven, his strength has approached the peak of a martial artist, and it can even be said that it is difficult to find an opponent on the same level in the entire continent."
"It's hard to find, it's not that you can't find it, that is to say, other countries will also have such talents, why didn't such talents appear when the Hell's Gate multinational coalition was fighting?" Cecil asked,
"Of course, the Elok Empire also has such strong warriors, and there may even be more of them than us, as for why it hasn't appeared, isn't it obvious? Even if they fight, it will be difficult for them to resist Obox, because after all, it is not a level of battle, and the second is that when this kind of abyss lord comes, the main god will not care, otherwise there are so many opportunities for thousands of years, and the main plane has long been flattened by powerful abyss creatures. Since the main god will inevitably come out to take care of things, then the top combat power of each country is, of course, better to preserve its strength. ā
"Hmph, intrigue." Cecil said gloomily.
"This is a common disease of human beings for thousands of years, and it has not been changed." Grand Priest Alonso said with a smile.
Cecil looked at the great priest of the accident, and only smiled at him and said: "But the great priest, what you said just now is not right, this Erwin is not the peak of martial arts, and it is not only Lantros who is stronger than him from a civilian background, but also me." Cecil said confidently.
Grand Priest Alonso glanced at him with satisfaction: "Yes, I almost forgot about you, I think you are a powerful knight who may surpass the paladins of the past, and even surpass the knights of the Mandate of Heaven of the past dynasties, but your father is a lord knight, although he is not a nobleman, but it is also a position that ordinary people envy, and there is also a royal offering, so you can't say that you are from a civilian background." ā
Cecil was suddenly stunned when he heard the words of Grand Priest Alonso, and was stunned for a long time before he laughed dumbly, yes, at the beginning, his astonishingly weak template actually made him ignore that he was actually not a commoner, he smiled and said: "Yes, don't you say that I have forgotten, I am also a pseudo-nobleman." ā
