Chapter 51: Conquest

According to normal procedure, in order to prove the sanctity of this holy war, the mobilization of religious leaders must be carried out before Empress Ivana speaks.

And now that Saint Laurent is gone, the supreme bishop has been martyred, and Claudia, as a saint, is already the highest person in religious status.

In other words, she should have mobilized these commandment-keepers, and she was supposed to oversee the war. This is her duty as a saint.

However, until now, Claudia has doubts about her abilities.

Admittedly, by the standards of her peers, Claudia is already considered the best of the best. But perhaps because Roland was pressed on it, she couldn't feel her talent at all.

Until now, she didn't know why the Guru had chosen herself to be her saint. There are many people who are obviously better than her, and she is not the top one in terms of piety or wisdom.

Claudia believes that forming the Crimson Knights for Roland is already the limit of her abilities. She was even ready to spend her life as a saint as a vase.

But the world is impermanent, and one day she needs to launch a jihadist mobilization against the believers, and she needs to personally go to the front line to supervise the war.

Looking at the Keepers of the Commandments lined up to form the legion, Claudia exchanged glances with the remaining three, slowly took a step forward, and exchanged places with Ivana.

She stood at the front of the high platform, leaning on the railing, and took a deep breath as she watched the believers who looked at her reverently.

Then she said aloud: "Praise and pray!" ”

"May the glory of Saint Laurent endure forever, and may Saint Laurent delight in our offerings."

"May sinners be destroyed from the face of the earth, and may the wicked be reduced to nothing, may men praise him for the great miracles of Saint Laurent, may they exalt him in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the place of elders."

"May he be exalted above the heavens! May his glory be higher than all the earth! ”

"I will fight side by side with you!"

"- Praise Roland!"

The next moment, the tsunami-like praise of the mountains drowned her out.

"Praise Roland!"

"Praise Roland!"

"Praise Roland!"

Claudia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took a step back, giving up her place for Ivana.

The petite Empress stepped forward slowly with an extremely solemn attitude, and kept cheering and praising the keepers of Saint Laurent as an aura, and could not help but be quiet.

But Ivana did not immediately begin her speech.

She just looked down at the army of 10,000 fanatics, as if she wanted to remember the appearance of each and every one of them.

At this time, Ivana was already trembling with excitement.

-- The war that has not been seen for a long time.

After dedicating all her to Yves Saint Laurent, she thought she would say goodbye to the only thing she loved for the rest of her life. I didn't expect to be able to taste this sweet taste again.

War, war—she no longer longed for anything but war.

She naturally knew that war should be a means, not an end. But she is different, she is the kind of person who sees the means as an end.

A girl named Ivana, she has been simply obsessed with war since she was a child.

After her first experience of war, she was like a mad dog that tasted blood, and she couldn't forget it.

Taking the opportunity of this holy war, she can finally taste the taste that she has not seen for a long time-

"Today, you have been truly blessed."

"Today, you will fight for Yves Saint Laurent!"

Her voice was sonorous and powerful, like the clash of swords.

"I'm Ivana, Ivana. Nerola. Yves Saint Laurent is my godfather, to whom I have given my body, spirit and soul. I have sworn to keep the word of the Three Saints all the life of my life, and I have sworn to keep all that the threefold great Roland has given me. ”

"I have sworn to keep the peace of all things, I have sworn that I have opposed any greed and injustice, I have sworn that I will be fair and merciful, I have sworn that I will defend the right of my people to live, I have sworn that I will defend the dignity and creed of my people as my own life, I have sworn that I will never give up the possibility of saving any of my people in any danger."

"Today, the demons have risen from the ground to compete for the light of Yves Saint Laurent. They have desecrated the Holy Church, they have blasphemed the Holy One. ”

"They have desecrated the bodies and souls of our brothers, and they have desecrated Saint Laurent, three times as great!"

"They have to pay!"

Ivana clutched the railing tightly, a faint silver-gray flame burning in her eyes.

"- We want war! Let our brothers rest in peace! ”

"We will pierce their hearts and heads with our swords, break their spines with hammers, cut them in two with our axes, and purify their souls with holy fire."

"Are you angry, brothers in my lord?"

"Tell me, are you angry at watching the dead walking on the ground in the open, watching the demons blaspheme in the faces of our old friends, watching them crush innocent people?"

The commandment-keepers did not say a word, but made a loud and neat noise, and at the same time stretched out their right hand, which was connected to the forehead, throat, and heart, and then placed it on the left shoulder.

Seeing this scene, Ivana smiled happily.

At that moment, she felt like a child.

"Good!"

Ivana spread her hands and cried out as if embracing the world: "Then war!" ”

"Ordinary wars are meaningless, and the blood of the enemy alone will never quench our anger!"

"- Holy War!"

"We want a holy war!"

"Drive the dead back to their hell and crush the opponents of Yves Saint Laurent to smithereens."

"We are the vicarators of Yves Saint Laurent, destroying the enemy with the wrath of God! Not a single one to stay! ”

In the louder and louder roar, the silver-white flame in Ivana's eyes became more and more vigorous, and finally burst out of her eye sockets, enveloping her whole body.

She cried out, "Saint Laurent, holy! ”

Everyone spoke at the same time and responded in unison: "Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! ”

With each praise, they stretched out their right hand to perform the sacrament. Although they were wearing only cloth clothes, they made a tsunami roar when they were made by 10,000 people at the same time.

Finally, they paused at the same time and shouted in unison:

"Yves Saint Laurent, Holy Laurent!"

A roaring flame poured out from everyone present at the same time. In an instant, a sea of pure white fire descended on the air.

In the crackling sound, Ivana smiled genuinely happily.

Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes seemed to sparkle. It's like a little girl who got a toy she likes.

"Let's get started."

Claudia took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

She finally ordered:

"- Go on the march, gentlemen!"

"No win, no return!" (To be continued.) )
