Chapter 50: The Birth of an Empire (8)
When the first rays of the morning sun shine on this magnificent city under the constant sun.
An impassioned song titled "Holy War" contributed by an ascetic from an Earth Federation sounded from a huge cart with a moving orchestra of more than 300 musicians, and the main gate of Arathas adorned with a huge stone carving of the Holy Cross.
Countless human and fish people dressed in festive costumes and wearing crosses and jewelry of various materials were full of excitement, quietly waiting for the arrival of the heroes of this war on both sides of the wide main road of Arazo City, "Bright Victory Road".
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The sound of horses' hooves, like thunder, stopped at the city gate.
A tall and handsome young man dressed in a bright red cloak of the Holy Cross and ornate silver knight's armor, carrying a conspicuous shape and repeatedly defeating rival tribal warriors in battle, while the well-known Sword of the Angel of Power, riding a holy white horse, was the first to enter through the entrance of the city gate.
In an instant, the audience was boiling!
"It's Lord Karen Lothar!"
"What a handsome, is this our future majesty!"
Although there has not yet been an official coronation, the news that Cullen had been blessed by the Messiah himself as their monarch before the return of the Holy See to the kingdom of the Lord has spread almost throughout the entire territory of the Holy Light Cross Faith.
"Oh, may the heavenly Yahweh bless you, my majesty!"
"Yahweh is above, long live Your Majesty Karen!"
·····
See for yourself the future monarch, the supreme commander of the Holy Legion in the epic Battle of the Dark Gate, who is in the eyes of the people second only to the great Prophet and Pope Paul's crown under the propaganda of the Church for two months.
Let the crowds on both sides of Guangming Victory Avenue instantly shout feverishly.
The shallow sea fish enthusiastically waved the flag of the Holy Cross in their hands, the middle-aged human gentlemen took off their hats and shouted, the young children jumped and laughed, and of course, the beautiful girls swayed vigorously in the air of the road, slowly falling all kinds of bright petals, together formed an epic scene of joy.
A painter named Alan Kamal clearly recorded this classic scene in the way of oil painting, and after 7,600 years, as one of the most precious historical materials and paintings of the entire Holy Yahweh Alliance, it was included in the "Birth of an Empire" theme museum by the royal family of the Holy Arathas Empire at that time.
a battle hero who fought in this long and vast battle, and the holy legion generals who left the church and voluntarily returned to the world, and who were about to become ministers and nobles of the kingdom in the future, and who were now called paladins of judgment; There are also some outstanding humans and fish people who have distinguished themselves from the entire empire in other fields and who have contributed immensely to this great and sacred war.
Together, they held their heads high, proudly following behind Karen, holding aloft the sacred cross banner, and walked into the city gate with a proud expression.
"See? That's my son! During the Battle of the Dark Gate, he killed 3 Greenskin Overseers. ”
"That's General Ferrey, who commanded the legion to breach thirteen orc strongholds in the Elwyn Forest."
"That's Rohr of our fish-man Rocksa City, I know, it is he who has improved the method of fish fry breeding and increased the income of the Laojun fishing farm by 3 times!"
"Well done, brothers of the Yahweh faith!"
······
The increase in the number of people in attendance made the cheers around them even louder, and all the people were loudly telling each other about the exploits of the heroes they knew, which made the atmosphere much more enthusiastic.
With the cheers and boasts of the people on both sides of the Bright Victory Avenue along the way, Cullen always smiled and nodded to the people around him, leading the heroes behind him to the end of the Bright Victory Avenue, the center of this huge city of Arrathol, and the entrance to the Grand Plaza of the Holy Father directly in front of the Arrathor Palace.
Around this sprawling square, comparable to the Tiananmen Square of the Messiah's previous life, there was a crowd of cheering subjects.
On the left and right sides of the square, on one side are the high priests of the Church and the Earth Federation Legations, and on the other side, there are embassies from all forces of the Alliance, whose expressions of fear and complexity are intertwined.
"Hello, my great lord."
"His Majesty the Pope is already waiting for your arrival ahead."
Andrei, one of the ten paladins who had originally followed Karen and should now be called a paladin, bowed to his knees at the entrance to greet his sovereign.
"I see, Andrey."
Jumping off the horse and giving the reins to Andre in front of him, Cullen said.
Alone, I sorted out my look, and walked into the Heavenly Father's Square with a solemn face.
In the middle of the empty square, Pope St. Paul, who inherited the white robe of the Holy See of the Prophet, wore the "Crown of Roses of Glory" with a faint golden holy light, held a copy of the "Yahweh Bible" modified by the Messiah himself, stood on a high platform with a height of 16 meters and 18 steps, and looked gently at the oncoming Karen.
At this time, the whole world seemed to stop the noise at this moment, whether it was the people around or the representatives of the envoys in the stands on both sides, they all stopped speaking at this moment.
This man with the blood of the Lothar family is currently in the limelight in the true sense of the word!
Cullen came to the Pope and half-knelt down solemnly and reverently.
"Sons of Holy Yahweh, Karen Lothar."
The glorious light of glory emerged from behind the Pope and condensed into a majestic cross tens of meters high.
"Are you willing to make a solemn pledge to rule the Elwyn Forest region, the Dawn Forest region, and the Windwind Trail region····· The people, the fishmen, and other tribes of Yahweh in the western wilderness and its coastal lands, who govern their lands and rule with respect for their respective customs? ”
At this moment, Pope St. Paul did not talk nonsense, but directly used the authority of the Pope to issue a sacred inquiry on behalf of God Yahweh.
"I do!"
Karen's solemn voice, along with the Pope's inquiry, resounded all around the square, making it clear to all.
"So."
"Are you willing to do what you can to maintain the glory of Holy Yahweh and to obey the true teachings of the Gospel of Yahweh?"
"Are you willing to do what you can to fight the forces of darkness and the evil faith of evil gods in the kingdom?"
"Are you willing to maintain and protect the teachings, worship, and principles of the Holy Light Cross Church, which is sacrosanct?"
"Finally, are you willing to protect the priesthood of God's Yahweh who glorious, judges, and judges the Light, who preside over the church, fight against darkness, and adjudicate heresy?"
The Pope asked, staring at Karen who was half-kneeling in front of him.
"I promise to comply with all of the above requirements, and I will comply and fulfill my promises."
Cullen lowered his head and solemnly raised his voice.
"May Divine Yahweh bless me ·····"
However, at the last moment of the oath, the clouds in the sky rapidly thickened, and an unprecedented giant dark vortex appeared over Heavenly Father's Square.
"Nope! Disgusting divine power! ”
The dragon's head, as large and hideous as a locomotive, poked its head out from the very center of the vortex, its pitch-black wings wrapped in thick dark energy and mist, and its cruel eyes stared maliciously at Cullen and the Pope below.
After its original target, the Blackstone Tower region, was subdued by the Holy Legion, this terrifying and powerful evil dragon set its sights on this new divine force in the human race.
"I, the Destroyer of Destiny, the Terminator of All Things, the Child of Deathwing, the Nefarian of the Black Dragon Legion!"
The Black Dragon Prince roared haughtily among the clouds, and endless dark power surged towards it from the void.
"Will be here, announcing your demise!"
Belonging to the middle of the second order, the demigod Long Wei who was beyond mortals descended from the sky and swept away from its huge dragon body towards all living beings on the ground······
