Chapter 418: Offering Death
The powerhouses of the eighth order of the Transformation God will not easily show up in the East.
But in the Western Continent, everyone knew that the old man who lived in the Holy Radiance Cathedral and worshiped sincerely every day was a powerhouse of the eighth order of the gods.
He didn't care what others thought of him, and every morning he would get up in the chapel and offer his devotion to the God he believed in.
If you ask why, it's because this is the kind of piety that a pope should have.
However, in front of people, he is so unstained, so admirable.
It was such a kind-looking old man who, during his forty years as pope, waged more than a dozen wars.
Among them, there were also five sensational massacres of the city.
When Hedrenza initially refused to obey the Church's dispatch, the Iron Cavalry of the Oga Empire, like a black wave, stepped directly on this frozen land.
After the "Sea City Meat Grinder" incident, Hedrensa was forced to form a federation.
It was also because of the Pope's iron-blooded tactics that the northern nomads were forced to form a federation and sign a non-aggression pact with the West.
Compared to the Orientals, in the eyes of those nomads, the Westerners are like butchers!
Massacres of herdsmen in several cities, including women and children.
Not to mention, the war with the Northern Rowanda Empire, the war with the Tianzhu Kingdom, and the war with the Foggy Moon Empire.
In addition to the Fuso Empire, which was closing the country, the hands of this pope have completely filled the cross of the church on both sides of the West Sea and the edge of the North Sea.
It's hard for you to imagine that such a kind old man still controls the largest pirate group in the North Sea, the Kraken Society.
"Cute little flying worm, let Pope Andy give you a good condolences!"
When Yang Xiao untied the chains of the dragon, the Pope held the scepter in his hand, and the eight pairs of wings burst into a burst of holy brilliance and rose into the sky.
Condescending, with a scepter in hand, he is like a supreme god!
The faithful prostrated themselves and saw to them that His Majesty the Pope was no longer indistinguishable from the God in their hearts.
Or rather, this Pope, who is himself God, deigned to come to the mortal world and give them poor believers a little guidance.
The Pope gently lifted the scepter in his hand and pointed it at the roaring dragon, and then the scepter directly unleashed a divine might!
This divine power made it difficult for the arrogant dragon to get up, this kind of crushing of strength was completely a small dragon, and it was not enough to make the Pope serious.
"Very good, I love this gift!"
"Dear Yang Xiao, you are the most devout believer of my God!"
"The essence of the dragon, can it really make people immortal?"
The Pope asked, and Yang Xiao showed a look of affirmation.
"Of course, the Pope's crown, the essence of the dragon, can make you live for another hundred years!"
"At least a hundred years! You will now regain your youth!"
"You will have the energy of a young man, the thinking of a young man, and the strength of a god!"
At the instigation of Yang Xiao, the pope gradually walked towards the dragon prostrate on the ground and showed a kind smile.
"Good boy, go to God. ”
The Pope slowly closed the dragon's eyes, and then slammed his scepter into its head.
The dragon, without even making a muffled sound, directly lost its life.
"The dragon soul is a good thing!
Yang Xiao hurriedly reminded, and as soon as the Pope's hand was raised, the soul of the dragon that was about to disperse was directly condensed into his hand.
Like smoking, the Pope put his nose on top of the dragon soul and inhaled.
The dragon soul followed his nose and melted into his body.
Suddenly, he felt a shock to his spirit.
"Sure enough, all the things of the dragon are treasures. ”
After enjoying the dragon soul to himself, the Pope seemed to be ten years younger, and he smiled as he looked at the dead dragon.
"Dear Yang Xiao, where do I start?"
"You should first refine its dragon crystal, bathe in his dragon blood, and then, for the next ten years, eat its delicious dragon meat every day. ”
"This can be called to make the best use of things. ”
The Pope seemed to think that what Yang Xiao said was very reasonable, and nodded hurriedly.
"So, let's start by bathing in dragon blood. ”
Several fanatics stepped forward and used their huge sharp knives to pry open the scales on the dragon's chest, and the sharp knives were introduced, exporting the dragon's blood.
After the dragon's blood was released, the dragon was dissected, and its various organs were also taken out.
"I gotta say, you're a real man. ”
The Pope patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder.
"Go, and receive my reward. ”
The Pope placed a golden petal in Yang Xiao's hand, which meant that he could get a high-level Horcrux that symbolized the status of the bishop in the church!
There are three kinds of bishops in the church.
The first is the executive bishops, such as the five most powerful beings, who are second only to the pope in the Church.
The second type is the cardinal, who holds the position of the Crusader in the Church Temple.
The third type is the honorary bishop, and the horcrux given to Yang Xiao by the Pope is the symbol of the honorary bishop.
In any Western country, bishops emeritus have priority of administration and immunity!
Even if you kill someone, you can beg for forgiveness by praying to God.
However, the sect generally labels the person who is killed as a heretic, so that not only does there be no need to pray, but even praise!
Killing heretics is a matter of great merit.
"Thank you, Your Crown, and may the glory of God shine on you forever!"
After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he followed Bishop Oga to the Horcrux Chamber. The two beard lovers gathered together and chatted happily.
"My dear brother, you have been a great surprise to us. ”
"It's just a dragon, there's nothing to fuss about. ”
"It's just, old man, you're not in a bad tone. ”
Bishop Oga chuckled, and after the two walked into the Horcrux Vault, Yang Xiao handed the golden petal to the old priest in charge of managing the Horcrux.
The old priest's eyes were a little dizzy, but when he saw the golden petals, there was still a flash of light in his cloudy eyes.
"May the light of God be with you. ”
The old priest prayed for Yang Xiao, and then walked into the Horcrux to look for the Horcrux.
"You say, is His Majesty the Pope taking a dragon's blood bath now?"
"Yes, he's going to enjoy the feeling of being young. ”
Bishop Oga said that if he had the chance, he would like to be able to take a bath of dragon blood.
The two talked, but unbeknownst to them, a figure quietly climbed in from the fence of the Holy Radiance Cathedral.
The guards all went to watch the dragon, and the Cathedral of Shenghui at this time was like a street garden.
The man crossed the city walls, climbed the stairs, and went straight to the upper floors of the Holy Radiance Cathedral.
Here, the Pope is bathed in dragon blood.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but this level was empty, and even the Templars who would stand guard on weekdays never appeared.
He walked softly into the bathroom, and the old Pope slept quietly in the scarlet dragon's blood.
He slept so peacefully, and there was no movement.
"Victory, belonging to the Brotherhood. ”
He slowly removed his hood, and underneath the hood was the face of old Vic.
The dagger in Old Vic's hand emitted a faint cold light, like a blood-colored moonlight.
The dagger was plunged straight into the old Pope's chest, although he was an eighth-order god, he was still stabbed to death by this dagger!
Before the elder Vic left, he left a letter here.
Above the letter, there are two iron fists wrestling with each other, and below the iron fist, there is a string of handsome fonts.
"To the shameless, dirty, foolish God. - Brotherhood Old Vic"
......
At this time, in the northern border of the Cloud Empire, Niangzi Pass in the wind and snow ushered in several special guests.
"See the county lord!"
The gatekeeper of Niangzi Pass is a major general of Zhongzhou Mu.
The major general's name is Qiu Changhai.
The strength is not bad, and he is in the first realm of the gods, but such a young general was actually sent to such a cold place to guard the pass.
I don't know if it's because the town guard general on this river is too rigid, or because of other reasons.
In short, when he saw this Qiu Changhai, Li Junhan was not in a good mood.
"Look at the clothes you're wearing!"
Although they didn't know the defenders here before they came, it was inevitable that they would feel a little awkward when they saw them.
This Qiu Changhai's plush hat is almost worn out.
Looking down at this plush hat, it is a big round face that has been through vicissitudes, the fur collar of the cotton jacket is also polished, and there are patches everywhere on the body and legs.
Could it be that the defenders of this Niangzi Pass have fallen into this state?
Qiu Changhai, as a generation of young generals, can actually wear such a broken pair, how did the damn general stationed on the river do it?
Take a closer look, not only is this Qiu Changhai wearing shabby, but all the defenders are not dressed very well.
Only one of the younger ones is dressed quite well.
"Come, boy, come here. ”
Li Junhan called.
"Tell me, why are they all so torn and you are so well dressed?"
The little soldier looked at the imposing county lord in front of him, and he was inevitably a little frightened.
Qiu Changhai gave him a look, and he panicked even more.
"Don't look at him, say, tell the truth. ”
"General, I'm really ......"
The young man couldn't hold back for a while, and cried directly.
"Big man, what are you crying about!"
Li Junhan asked, Zhang He took a few other people to find a room to put things together, and at this time, only the county lord was chatting with this group of defenders.
"This Lieutenant General Qian of Jingzhou Mansion is a pickpocket!"
"Over the years, Niangziguan has lacked food and clothing, and in the past two years, Jingzhou Mansion has issued three catties of cotton and two pieces of cloth!"
"It's hard to sew a thick quilt for our general!"
As soon as the young man said this, all the soldiers below sighed.
Qiu Changhai's big round face was also a little unbearable, a little embarrassed.
"County Lord, don't listen to him, he is talking nonsense, you go and see, my quilt is new!"
"Fart. ”
Li Junhan couldn't hold back for a while, and directly burst into foul language.
"Then how dare you detain you? Why don't you fight back?"
Faced with this question, Qiu Changhai sighed.
"County Lord, you are noble, but we are not so noble. ”
"This Niangziguan is originally a desolate place, and as soon as General Qian said that there is no military spending, we can only suffer a dumb loss. ”
"When the materials sent by the headquarters arrive in Jingzhou Mansion, they have to take more than half of them, and then they will be transported to us by slow train and horse, then it will be ......."
Qiu Changhai couldn't speak, and a somewhat dark-looking soldier spoke for him.
"Okay, okay......"
Qiu Changhai stopped him and motioned for him not to say anything.
"Qiu Changhai, are you so?"
Li Junhan asked.
"This county lord is here, what are you afraid of?"
"If you deduct you again on that money dog day, I will directly behead him!"
"You can't make it ......"
Qiu Changhai hurriedly said:
"General Qian is also a general of the empire, how can he be beheaded because of this little thing?"
"I see, it's a moth!"
"That's right! Lao Tzu is unhappy to see that money!"
The Thunder Cloud Dragon Sect came out, stood directly in front of Qiu Changhai and said:
"That dog's money, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling with the empire's money, is simply a moth. ”
"County Lord, as long as you want to deal with him, we will kill him as soon as we get done, and the first thing we will do when we return to Jingzhou Mansion will behead him!"
Li Junhan nodded, this Thundercloud Dragon Palm Sect is right.
Within the empire, especially at the rank of lieutenant general, there are still such corrupt people, who should be beheaded!
"What about the second order of the gods, if the heart is not right, then it will be in vain!"
After Li Junhan finished speaking, these soldiers looked at the county lord in disbelief.
That's not unavoidable...... It's too hasty, isn't it......
This county lord has not been in Niangzi Pass for an hour, he met Qiu Changhai and chatted for two days, this is going to be beheaded by General Qian Jinguangzhong?
Such a vigorous and resolute action really made Zhang He sweat.
Originally, Zhang He felt that this county lord Li Junhan had such a temperament, and he must be the type of heroine.
Looking at it now, where is she a heroine, she is completely reckless!
"The county lord...... You come ......"
Elder Zhang said with some embarrassment.
"Elder Zhang, if you have anything to say, you might as well pick it out! And there is nothing unseemly, why bother to sneak around?"
"Ahem...... It's not ......"
"I said Elder Zhang! If you have something to say, don't be a fuss!"
Lei Yunlong also has such a temperament, and suddenly, Zhang He felt that this trip would not be particularly smooth......
Especially working with such two people, it will definitely not go well.
"I just want to say, there are a few cottages on the road to Niangzi Pass, and I'm afraid that General Qiu's supplies will not be given by General Qian. ”
"Instead, he was intercepted by those mountain bandits. ”
After Elder Zhang He finished speaking, Li Junhan scratched his head.
This...... Is it possible?
"Let me ask General Qiu to know, can the person who usually sends you supplies show up?"
Faced with this problem, Qiu Changhai really thought about it.
People who come once every half a month really haven't shown up.
They all threw the supplies outside the Niangzi Pass, and then waited for them to come and collect them, and they never saw the people who delivered the supplies.
"Those bandits sent them to rob you of your supplies and leave a little for you. ”
"Then, if you don't have enough to eat, you can't dress warmly, but you can't freeze to death, then naturally no one will trouble them. ”
After Elder Zhang said this, Li Junhan suddenly realized.
"So! bandits?"
"Ahem, county lord, we don't need to get involved in the work of suppressing bandits. ”
"Dare to ask General Qiu, how to go from this Niangzi Pass to Panlong Mountain?"
Actually, at the beginning, they were going to go to Panlong Mountain first, but a few people walked along the northern mountain range, and they were confused as they walked.
Although the map shows the location of Panlong Mountain, there is no entrance to the mountain at all on the south side of the mountain.
Therefore, as soon as a few people pondered it, they came directly to Niangzi Pass first.
"Oops, you're in the wrong place. ”
Qiu Changhai hurriedly explained:
"If you want to go to Panlong Mountain, you have to go out from Niangzi Pass and go west along the coastline of Beihai. ”
The south side of this Panlong Mountain is full of cliffs, and there is no way to enter it at all.
If you want to go up the mountain, you have to go out from the Niangzi Pass and go up from another mountain road.
"Do you know anything about the Tianchi of this Panlong Mountain?"
"I don't know much about it, but I heard from the people in the old village that there was a dragon in the pond that day. ”
"Old village, is it still there?"
Li Junhan asked:
"If you go back to the county lord, there will be no one living in this northern border. ”
"After the last group of old villagers moved south ten years ago, except for us who defended the city and bandits, the northern border was already a no-man's land. ”
It's possible.
"I still want to clean up that money!"
The Thunder Palm Sect popped out a sentence without a head, and this person's brain didn't seem to be very bright.
"When you get down to business, you can clean up whoever you like. ”
Zhang He sighed, the quality of this defender is too poor, only one Qiu Changhai can be regarded as passable, and the other defenders are all malnourished.
Fortunately, the supplies he brought were sufficient, and although these people didn't look very healthy, their cultivation was still okay.
The two generals have the cultivation of the second order of contemplation, and the worst of the remaining soldiers is the peak of the awakening realm.
The defenders of Niangzi Pass, if you put aside the material aspect, can be regarded as elite!
"Okay, I have a lot of supplies here, you can divide it, eat well, dress warmly, and prepare your belongings. ”
Elder Zhang He threw a small bag to Qiu Changhai, which contained dozens of talismans, cotton clothes and quilts, meat and grain, and daily necessities.
As soon as he said that he was going to fight in the north, Elder Zhang directly began to purchase these military supplies.
This lady is off, so she should be regarded as having eaten the first wave of dividends.
"Dare to ask the county lord, Elder Zhang, is there something big going on with us?"
Qiu Changhai was a little puzzled, this situation seemed to be a little wrong.
Li Junhan smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and said to Qiu Changhai:
"General Qiu, get ready for battle, it's time for battle!"
"Fighting, fighting with whom?"
"The mongrels of the Kraken's North Sea Branch. ”
After Li Junhan finished speaking, Lei Zhangjiao immediately said:
"Also, the scumbags of the Dog Day!"
The two are really unexpectedly compatible in terms of scolding......
