The scorching breath in the air didn't dissipate for a long time.
Dazzling light shines in the air. People did not dare to look up at the golden giant, so they could only kneel on the ground reverently, praying and kissing the hot ground baked by the sun.
However, just when they all lowered their heads, Roland had already quietly left here with Jeno and the others.
And it wasn't long before half an hour later, to be exact, when half of the people were still kneeling on the ground praying, a few middle-aged men in long red trench coats walked into the ruined temple.
They were dressed in black leather armor, covered with blood-red trench coats, and their hands were shackled with broken chains, and their eyes were blinded by a black cloth, but they still moved unimpeded. They also carried long swords behind them, a short sword and a dagger at their waists, both of which were intricately carved with black patterns.
As they acted, the solid gold Libra emblem that hung on their chests glittered in the city where the holy light flowed, reflecting a brilliant and luxurious light. Their expressionless, pale faces are reminiscent of corpses.
It's also a pretty bizarre outfit by anyone's standards. Speaking of warriors, their dress is not suitable for high-speed movement; They say they are pastors, but their outfits are also deviant. Like a prisoner and not a prisoner, like a fanatic and not a fanatical believer.
If you appear on the street, you will be watched. But even when they walked into the temple, no one noticed them.
If someone saw their eyes, they would definitely be pierced by those cold eyes.
It's not so much callousness as it is a condescending indifference.
It's not because of will or desire. Instead of taking the lives of others to heart, he did not put himself on the same level as others from the beginning.
- They are the executors. A member of the "Black Veil", an Assassin organization affiliated with Ra.
So to speak. Presumably no one knows who they are.
To put it simply, they are daggers that are pulled. There is no honor, no name, and theoretically a living soul who has long since died, and even has a different face. An assassin who is more like an undead than an undead.
They have long lost the meaning of their lives. The only goal that supports their actions is the only faith they have left in their hearts.
Only the most devout mercenaries would be inspired by Ra during their dying. Ra was the only deity without an oracle, for he had stranded all the believers who could theoretically become saints on earth and hid them well.
For eight hundred years. They are responsible for assassinating the enemies of their gods – whether blasphemers, or the priests of Tyre and Sivir.
Ra has hated Sivir for eight hundred years. But so far, almost no one except a few parties have known about it.
In the beginning, Ra was also a part of the god of war. Later, when Tyre threatened all the gods of war to surrender their priesthood of war, Ra was the first and only one to agree immediately.
And in the end, it turned out that he was right.
All the gods who declared war on Tyre eventually fell. Under the sacred fire of the Sun Saluter Priesthood of Tyre, which burned three thousand worlds, the followers of the war madmen were all roasted and scorched, and their Pope was burned at the stake. The temple was burned and the statue was smashed. Without the support of the believers, they could not maintain the ability to survive in the astral plane, but because the wall of Aum was blocked, they could not even escape to the human world, so they could only forget themselves forever, turn into a meteor, and disappear into the astral plane forever.
But. Even if Tyre was so powerful, even if he was the first god to bow down to Tyre. Ra never gave up on revenge.
He's just waiting for the right moment—one like the right moment.
While Tyre was seeking the priesthood of war for Sivir, Ra sought out Enzos in his waking hours and asked him for a secret method to keep his soul on earth, and made a deal with the undead of Elcater in exchange for a part of the undead transformation ritual.
Since then, he's been preparing for today.
Just as he had been silently looking forward to for eight hundred years - finally one day. Tyre loses contact.
The day after the news was confirmed, Ra immediately convened a council of the gods behind Sivir's back, and with the support of Enzos, the three gods of Loda Khan and Kne, established the position of provisional speaker.
Regardless of whether Tyre was dead or whatever, Ra immediately contacted the other gods. Begin to strike at Tyre's faith.
His executors began to move out of the Eternal Valley, assassinating all of Tyre's exiled priests one by one, and suppressing all signs of unrest from anyone detecting them. He was joined by the Shadow Hand of Nix and the Truth Society of Enzos.
While the Templars were trapped in the mountains due to heavy snowfall, the conspiracy against the Church of Tyre had unwittingly spread across Bansa. More than two-thirds of the temple was forced to close due to the inexplicable deaths of priests and bishops, and the other gods took the opportunity to squeeze in, picking up the faithful who were scattered like carrion.
With the exception of Frankfurt, they did not enter at will, and all the cities occupied by the faith of Tyre were being eaten away little by little. Sivir and her followers, who were the only ones who could stop them, were so overwhelmed by the sudden intensification of the Frost Spirits that they didn't even notice that there had been a silent upheaval in their rear.
Some bishops and priests realized their danger. As a last resort, they abandoned the church and began to flee for their lives, trying to escape into Frankfurt to find peace. They were then framed by the other gods as impostors who had been killed by the devil and tried to disguise themselves, and the temple and the garrison area were taken from them.
In reality, however, Frankfurt is just a trap.
Their goal was to force all the priests to eventually flee to Frankfurt through constant pressure, and then the gods would perform a miracle to wipe Frankfurt and Tyre's faith directly from Banza in one fell swoop.
As the bishop said, the blocking of the news of the plague, the swift execution of all the infected, the establishment of a quarantine zone were the result determined by the gods at the council.
If news of the plague is allowed to spread, people will panic and become more difficult to prevent. If the news of the plague were to be announced, Bansa would undoubtedly fall into a huge chaos that had never been seen before. However, this decision itself is not intended to maintain the stability of Bansa. Although this decision did objectively have this effect.
Their aim was to further disintegrate the remnants of Tyre and expand Bansa's power.
The executors don't just kill the patients. Together with Koranwo and Kne, they imprisoned them in an attempt to research an antidote to the plague before the druids could use it as a weapon.
If there is a chance that it will be controlled, the plague will be massively dropped on Suze, Titan, Fararow, and Caral. After that, as long as they waited quietly and waited until they were almost dead before removing the poison, the Banza gods would be able to easily occupy those places.
Bansa may be too small for so many people to share – but if the cake isn't enough, why not make it bigger?
This is the final decision made by the gods.
Brutal and effective.
