Chapter 186: The Epic Battle (2)
In the city of St. Sal, in the temple of great light, in the bright hall, you can clearly see the projection of the pillars, the light shines on the white stone wall, and the refracted light illuminates the entire hall in a bright white.
The holy and solemn frescoes on the walls are all by the hands of the artists who have been nurtured by the church, delicate and delicate, and from the dome tens of meters high, it seems that you can see the vision of God's kingdom and His majestic and loving gaze.
The tall statues of the gods, the majestic temples, the murals of the heavenly kingdom, and the illuminated white space stand in this large hall as if you are standing in the center of the kingdom of the gods, as if you can be baptized with holiness in your whole heart.
A beautiful and holy goddess-like being, standing barefoot in front of the statue in a simple linen robe at this moment, with a tall figure, long black hair, and a delicate face that looks like a holy angel in the painting, and the whole body is like the most perfect creature, and there is not a single flaw in sight.
Saint Kelly is standing in front of the statue at this moment, in front of the goddess of light Mary and the legendary archangels, and her star-like black eyes are only looking at the archangel Pharos behind her, and her eyes seem to have condensed everything in her eyes on this statue.
Decades have passed since she was here to protect the temple and accompany the gods, and when you have been praying to the gods for decades, asking the gods to respond, and making contact with the gods, for Kelly, He is no longer her faith, He is her everything.
"In your eyes, do our desires and struggles seem helpless and ridiculous."
"I have built for you a kingdom of heaven on earth, do you see? But ugliness and sin are still spreading across the earth, and the original sin of mankind can only be truly redeemed when the soul enters your kingdom. ”
Inside the main hall, Kelly stood alone in front of the statue of the god, confiding in him her heart, believing that the gods would be able to hear her.
Countless times Kelly dreams back to midnight, she will think of that heavenly town, the scene where Faros gave him a mask, and the beautiful hillside under the blue sky and white clouds, he stood under the tree and talked to her, and finally dissipated into her dreams like starlight.
Thinking of this, her eyes fluttered involuntarily, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and a rare expression appeared on her face, revealing a faint smile that fell into happiness.
Kneeling in front of the god, she finished her prayer, slowly put on the mask of the artifact Pharos, and walked towards the outside of the Great Light Temple, through the long corridor and the white pillars, the door of the temple slowly opened, crossed out, and appeared outside the main hall.
Outside the Great Temple of Light, there were high-ranking members of the Church of Light dressed in gorgeous costumes, members of the Cardinal Order, and rows of priests, including Pope Hodpp, all of whom greeted her descent.
At the bottom of the stairs stood a knight of the Church in full armor, all wearing armor and swords, and the shield had the sacred emblem belonging to the Church of Light, as well as the monarchs and knights of the guard who had come to the Hajj.
These monarchs or knights may be extremely dissatisfied with the Church of Light interfering too much in their internal affairs, but their belief in the Church of Light and God has never been false, most of them are devout believers in the Church of Light, and they are even more crazy worship and admiration for the blood of the god Kelly, the spokesperson of God.
At this moment, seeing the holy woman with the face of Pharos walking out of the Great Light Temple, the originally noisy and sensational picture suddenly became quiet, from the foot of the Great Light Temple, all the soldiers and civilian believers were quiet at the same time, as if even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.
Everyone's eyes were on Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and everyone's eyes were full of fanaticism, as if they wanted to lie on the ground and bow down to her and pray, this is the city of St. Sal, the city of God's descent, the kingdom of God on the earth.
"The glory of the patron saint, in the name of the gods, go on the expedition!"
A single sentence instantly ignited the entire city of Santa Sal, and everyone shouted as if they were crazy, shouting slogans hoarsely, and raising their swords and shields in their hands.
"In the name of God!"
"Expedition! All glory be to my Lord."
"Go to war! War! ”
Together with the aging Pope Hodep, they all shouted along with him, Hodep is more than a hundred years old this year, although he has a divine inheritance, but his talent is not strong, and he has not broken through the limit of lifespan, and now it is time to return to the kingdom of gods, and even the entire church is preparing for the replacement of the pope's position.
A large number of knights and soldiers poured out of the city of St. Sal, and the army led by the church legions and the monarchs of various kingdoms outside the city, drove all the way to the north, crossed the border of the Cretan Empire, and embarked on the battle for the Cretan Empire, opening the battle for the fate of humans and orcs who is the protagonist of the continent.
Hundreds of thousands of allied troops, along with several Priest Knights of the Church, will face off against the armies of the Holy Sevir Empire, a war between humans and orcs, as well as between the Church of the Sun and the Church of Light, a transcendent showdown between the Priesthood and the Templars.
And the decisive battle between the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light and the Emperor of the Holy Sevier Empire is a witness to who is the more beloved race of the gods, and both sides are shouting slogans, in the name of the gods, in the name of glory.
This is the largest number of people and the widest range of wars since the birth of life in the Alan Continent, directly involving troops, more than one million, and it is the first time that the army has fought against each other since the emergence of extraordinary forces, iron hooves resounded on the land of the Cretan Empire, and the banner of war was hunting in the sky.
The armies of the Holy Sevier Empire and the allied forces of the Church of Light rushed from two directions towards Cretan Didunia.
--------------------
The Cretan Imperial City of Nia –
Despite the desperate efforts of the imperial high-level to cover up, the news that 300,000 elites were surrounded and annihilated by the Holy Sevier Empire in the Dips Grand Canyon still came out, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Holy Sevir Empire came directly to Nia City.
Originally, it was just a revenge for the Holy Sevier Empire, but the current purpose has obviously changed a little, and more troops and aid from the Orc Empire continue to mobilize towards the Cretan Empire, and large cities have been occupied and fallen by the Orcs.
The Holy Sevier Empire gives the nobles of the Cretan Empire and the cities they pass through two choices, either choose to believe in the Church of the Sun and join the Holy Sevier Empire, you can become ordinary civilians in the empire, humans and orcs are regarded as equals, and if you refuse, you will break into the city, the nobles and the army will be reduced to slavery, and the commoners will be levied heavy taxes each.
A large number of cities along the way were descending from the wind, hundreds of thousands of troops were like broken bamboos, and at this moment the city of Nia was already in a panic, and the civilians and nobles of the imperial capital, who were originally high up, looking down on and despising the orc empire, seemed to be frightened by the strong forces and edges of the Holy Sevier Empire at this moment, and they were as panicked as rabbits.
The sky of the entire imperial capital of Nia seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds, a large number of civilians wanted to flee from the city of Nia in a hurry, more nobles wanted to escape, and even the royal nobles in the palace, those high-ranking imperial officials, were arguing about whether to sue for peace or surrender.
At this moment, both the emperor Zolman and the prime minister Tambur have all lost their control over the empire, they have lost their prestige and 300,000 elites, they have been completely broken, and even the commoners have begun to spit and curse them, and countless families in the city who have lost their sons and husbands have completely fallen into darkness, and more nobles have begun to turn their backs on them.
At this moment, the ecclesiastical legions of the Diocese of Light in Crete suddenly opened, and under the leadership of Cardinal Leon, the city guards automatically opened the city gates, and entered the Imperial Palace, and the knights with the sun crest on their robes and cloaks entered along the King's Road.
Surrounding the royal palace of the Cretan Empire, a large number of knights and priests of the Church of Light rushed into the palace and occupied the imperial capital and palace of the Cretan Empire.
The cardinal, with a large number of knights, broke into the Cretan Empire's high-ranking people, who were meeting in the main hall, and surrounded them.
Tamble stood up and looked at Cardinal Leon: "What are you doing, this is the Cretan Empire, this is the ......"
Leon kicked the hateful fat man to the ground, took out the papal edict and looked at the frightened crowd in the main hall: "In the name of God, the Holy Edict of the Pope, excommunicates the Cretan Emperor Zolman II and condemns him to guilt." ”
Leon shook his head for a moment, and immediately saw a large number of knights behind him move: "Zolman, Tambur and Tite, the three of you have been arrested, and what awaits you will be the judgment of the gods." ”
Zolman II, the young Emperor His Majesty slipped straight from the throne and collapsed to the ground, Tambur lay on his stomach and shouted in protest, only Tite, the executioner with bloody hands, calmly faced it, and the three were dragged down by the knights of the Church of Light, announcing their disappearance from the position of control of the Cretan Empire.
