Chapter 264: Dominator
Hearing Claude's words, Roland didn't hesitate to pull Cyla and turned around and ran, not worrying about whether he would be attacked by Claude from behind.
Because Roland knows that Claude is a true warrior. Since he said that he would let Roland go, he would never sneak attack from behind.
He had the pride and glory of being a warrior, and he would pray to those who died by his sword. Claude does not insult the pride of weak enemies, and he never flinchs from strong enemies.
His sword is wielded for the sake of faith, without the slightest hesitation or weakness.
Claude is not so much a warrior as a sword.
The purpose of his existence is simply to show people what kind of qualities a priest of a goddess of war should have.
Born to war, to die to war - he should have died in war, died on the battlefield.
Even Roland, who killed him with his own hands, would sigh for this.
If it weren't for the fact that the two parties were born enemies, Roland would have become very good friends with him; If Claude and Roland are comrades, then he will definitely become Roland's most trusted cardinal, and he will be able to make Roland entrust his back.
Claude, however, was a believer in Sivir. By his character, he would never convert to anyone else - and his soul would never have been so bright if it had not been.
You must know that the combat effectiveness of a saint is not linked to the combat effectiveness during his lifetime. Whether or not to become a saint depends only on whether his faith is pure, whether his will is firm, and whether his faith is indestructible.
Power corrupts the human soul. Thus, almost none of the saints who became priests were priests above the cardinal. On the contrary, the more you are born in a difficult situation. The ordinary alive, the ordinary dead pastor is the easier it is to become a saint.
In fact, Roland has also questioned it. Why is Claude's faith so pure, but he is just an ordinary priest of the silver rank? I can't touch the side of the priest Chongshan...... Now, Roland roughly understood.
From the very beginning, Sivir intended Claude to become a saint after his death. So she didn't give Claude much power, just let him keep fighting, waiting for him to die on the battlefield and then enter her country.
But Claude was too tenacious, or too lucky.
Claude killed more than 1,000 enemies in his life, but at the age of 70, he still did not die in battle, not even disabled. Therefore, Sivir had no choice but to let him go to become a bishop and wait for his death.
After all, Claude is in his seventies. His bodily functions declined rapidly. There is almost no comparison with his youth, and even if he counts the incarnation of the divine envoy, the current Claude is not comparable to the combat power of his youth. At this time, letting him go to the battlefield is simply making it clear that he wants to be sent to death.
If Roland was not mistaken, the idea of taking Claude was not the idea of Tyre, but of Jupiter IV.
The war between the gods and the White Tower is a foregone conclusion. But if left alone, Anvilia, Scott and Palbutchico alone would be enough to deal a devastating blow to hundreds of thousands of troops.
In any denomination, the gold-level priest is the identity of a bishop. Under normal circumstances, the regular main force participating in the battle is only silver rank at most. And the difference between the silver rank and the supreme spire by more than thirty levels of combat power crushed. It's definitely much more serious than the silver rank crushing the formal rank.
These three are terrifying characters who have lived for at least a thousand years, and they are on the same level as their own gods. In this case, if you want to attack the White Tower, you must have top combat power to involve several tower masters. But many popes themselves are not even at the level of the Temple of Truth. Jupiter IV, the only one with the highest minaret rank, was unable to participate in the war.
The Pope must love all. Only when confronted with the devil and the underground race, a race capable of destroying humanity, can the Pope come into battle. In addition, even if the main force of the sect is completely wiped out. As long as they have a temple that is intact, as long as there is no blasphemy on the other side. Blasphemy, the Pope must not personally fight back.
As Pope. Jupiter IV must not be biased in the slightest and take part in any mundane war.
And since the Pope cannot go to war. There must be some people who are about the same combat power as the Pope to pull those three in order for the army to have the possibility of defeating the White Tower from the front.
Historically, Anviglia has been stumped by Enzos's former voter, Sayre. In a sense, the tentacle man, who was no different from the Dusk Dependents, entangled Anvilia to the death, and he dragged on for nearly a week before he was killed. In the end, he also cooperated with Tyre's great magic to kill Anvilia.
And the few large-scale witchcraft that Anvilia took the time to perform in the middle of the way, the total number of clergy killed was close to six figures.
However, because of Roland's relationship, the situation has changed dramatically.
The first is that Esther has returned to the White Tower, and Elukado has also recovered some of his combat effectiveness, and as the battle gradually escalates, Elukado's strength will also recover at a terrifying rate.
Although the war was advanced, it was possible for the astrologer to start head-on before he returned; But even so, the top combat power of the White Tower has reached four people.
It was when Jupiter IV realized this that he would send Cilla to counter Elukado. After all, there are very few people who possess the rare cornerstone element of "clean".
However, even if Elukado can be restrained by Cyra, there will be no fewer than three combatants in the White Tower. If Seljupiter IV is sacrificed, he will definitely be reluctant, so he will have to bring more cannon fodder.
In the original history, the people in charge of containing the demon dog Koster were the saint "Cunning Fox" Saint Lowe of Lorda Khan, and the saint "Mourner" Saint Helena of Knie. In order to deal with the Star Caller, Jupiter IV forcibly took away St. Noah, a saint of Enzos, the god of truth and terror who was still in confusion, through the nature of Cell's Divine Son, and forcibly took control of his body through the peculiarity of his origin.
Jupiter IV formed such a team precisely to counter the Anvilian people. After all, he is the one who has the initiative, and it is up to him to decide whether to fight or not, and when to fight.
Faced with Scott, who can hallucinate people and constantly decay and decay everything around him, Jupiter IV sent the master illusion Cunningfox, and the most adept of the saints of the goddess of life who is adept at accessing anomalies.
As for the star caller who predicts the future and steals divine power from the kingdom of the gods, Noah, who is himself a madman and was born to devour divine power, could not restrain him any more.
Roland knew Jupiter IV very well. He is Tyre's favorite voter, but his style is not as frank as Tyre's, and he doesn't care about the lives of anyone other than Tyre's followers, even if it's his own, he will not hesitate to kill if needed.
Even among all the righteous popes, he is the one with the darkest heart. Like Roland, he was a liar until he re-embarked on the path of faith in this life.
Tyre's main enemy at the time was the god of justice and judgment in his realm. At the time, Jupiter IV, who was still a priest of the Black Iron Order, repeatedly murdered his colleague and framed a Templar of the God of Justice and Judgment, using the poor Templar to continuously reduce the reputation of the God of Justice and Judgment, and finally forcing the Templar to death.
There are many more similar examples. It can be said that Jupiter IV was the last Roland, but he was much more clever than Roland.
So Roland never doubted Jupiter IV's ability to act.
If Jupiter IV thinks that a particular person can be used for a special purpose, he will definitely get his hands on that person anyway.
The origin of Jupiter IV is "domination". He can directly dominate the will of one person or the actions of several people. It was at the origin of Jupiter IV that Cellr came under his control.
In order to counter Elukado, Jupiter IV will definitely send saints who can restrain Elukado. Anyway, the saint can be reborn in the kingdom of the gods after death, even if he is manipulated by Jupiter IV, it is difficult for the other gods to say anything because of the face of Tyre.
After all, Cyra was not a Templar, he did not charge or intercept, and all he could do was protect himself from Elukado's attack, and he could not hold back his hatred at all.
So, a saint is needed to beat Elukado into the madness.
Just for the sake of output, Jupiter IV had too many options. Roland never expected that the saint who finally appeared in front of him and was dominated by Jupiter IV would be Claude.
Why did you choose Claude...... Jupiter IV should have understood that Claude hated being controlled by others, and that it would be right to choose him......
Roland had a faint bad premonition. (To be continued.) )
