Chapter 231: The Storm (I)
Light is like a shuttle, time is like an arrow.
After Vesy succeeded to the throne, he was very forbearing, and he consulted Eddie, the chief priest of the Lord of Radiance, on everything, and personally went to the temple to bow to the gods every time he celebrated.
Although God abolished blood sacrifices, it was a human sacrifice, and many times it was still retained. During the celebration, Wei Xi took out his property, a pair of rare white oxen, and personally wore white linen clothes and led them into the temple.
When one of his attendants, who was very handsome, and whom he loved very much, and with whom he ate and slept with him, and who favored him almost as much as the queen, and who from time to time gave him goods, the attendant said, "My king, this is the work of a servant, and why do you condescend to this?" β
When Vesy heard this, he became angry in front of them and said, "Why should I not be a servant before God, and I am only a servant for God?" Thou hast spoken this transgression before the temple of God today, and I will not tolerate thee. β
And when he spoke, he ordered the warriors to kill him in front of the temple.
And it took place in plain sight, and both the ministers and the people, and all the believers of the Lord of Light, admired his piety and humility, and the thought of the blessing of the Lord of Light when he was born alleviated many of their ill feelings towards him.
In five years, gradually, Weixi's position began to be stable, and the subjects forgot about the murder of relatives.
This move falls on the military power. At that time, in the era of King Renke, although the kingdom of Rokad was established, the establishment was not complicated, and there were almost no cavalry, so he formed a cavalry corps of 1500 and established a special royal horse farm.
The god of war was worshipped in the army, and he built a shrine to the god of war for him.
And in the years, Moore has also risen to prominence.
The Church of the Lord of Radiance was established though. However, because Fangxin did not establish an advanced organizational structure. Therefore, a large number of original customs are still preserved.
The priests lived in the pyramids and temples. Enjoying aristocratic treatment. Wait for leisure and do not come into contact with ordinary people.
And Moore. In the first year, he was granted the status of a first-class priesthood. And he led a donkey. Start with one stop and travel through the villages. Everywhere you go. He used magic to heal the sick. and preached to the people. Propagating the glory of the Lord of Radiance.
"I preach glory for my Lord." Moore said. Do so.
Gradually. Some samurai were attracted to it. Deeply admired. and became his followers.
Five years. Traveled all over the two cities and three hundred villages of the Rokad Kingdom. Because he healed the people. Spread the glory. Fame is all over the kingdom. And because of him
At this time, the kingdom of Rokad had two cities and a population of more than one million, and had become a large country.
Therefore, in fact, the churches have spread outward, after all, the church of the true God, with great power and obedience, but here happened - in the nearby city of Bottel, the new monarch Barnet arrested the missionary priest of the Lord of Light, and used the priest to worship the sun god.
When the news reached Vesie, Vesy was overjoyed when he heard it, and he personally led the white bull to the temple.
At this time, since the chief priest Eddy was not there, he could not wait, so he slew the white bull with his own hand, and offered sacrifices to God, saying, "I am your servant, and Barnet dares to offend your glory, and I will kill him to preserve your glory." β
After saying this, he said to the spectators, "For the sake of the Lord of Light, I shall fight, and whoever does not answer my call is guilty of God." β
Hearing this order, no one dared to disobey, and the nearby lords came with samurai one after another. Within three days, 15,000 men had been gathered, the strongest army in the world.
Vessy's actions were a bondage, seemingly faithful, but in fact they arbitrarily determined the divine will, and threatened the divine authority of the chief priest, Eddie.
Eddie, the chief priest, was furious, and he went deep underground and prayed to the Lord of Light.
A moment later, a little flame flickered on the holy light on the altar, and slowly rose, as if an eye was there, and a voice rang out: "Eddie, I have heard your prayers. β
"Yes, the Great Lord of Radiance, Vesy sacrifices privately, and commands the whole nation with divine will, what is your will?"
The light flame jumped, for this matter, Fang Xin felt a little familiar, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that there was a similar fragment - a certain monotheistic religion on the earth, the king of a certain nation, in the rising stage, it was the king who sacrificed privately, threatening the status of the prophet, and the prophet was immediately ready to change the king, and the lord of the monotheistic religion chose to support the prophet.
The next two generations of kings were more or less the same, and as a result, the third generation of kings with great numbers were destroyed by their own prophetic and priestly classes.
As a result of the struggle between the gods and the king, the nation was in a state of collapse, and the god had fallen into a depression of more than a thousand yearsβits temples had been destroyed, its people had been slaughtered, and its glory had been dimmed.
The world's Force, and the humane Qi number, are not so easy to obtain, and once you miss it, it will be difficult to have it again.
Fang Xin was not so stupid, he said: "Wei Xi is disrespectful to me, I know, but this matter cannot stop him, you just need to let the higher authorities understand that what he said is not the will of God, let him perform the second sacrifice again, and you must also send a priest to heal him, so as to spread my glory!" If he asks you for advice, you will ask him to come to your aid with a solemn gift! β
"Yes, me
and your servants will do your will. "The chief priest, Eddie and Goo, fell on his knees.
The energy of the chief priest Eddie was of course very strong, and after he went out, less than a day later, the whole city immediately knew that Visy had made a private sacrifice without going through the chief priest and did not possess any ecclesiastical priesthood (Fang Xin had never given any priesthood, whether it was a priest or a paladin, even if it was a first-class priesthood), and issued an order
This shocked Vicsy, and before he could react, he received a messenger from the church asking him to sacrifice again tomorrow.
Vicy respectfully agreed, but as soon as the messenger returned, he was furious, and slew a maid for a trivial matter.
The next day, in full view of everyone, there were 50 priests, 50 paladins, and 500 well-equipped, well-trained Templars, all of whom lined up on the left and right sides of the pyramid with serious expressions and unsmiling expressions, so that the onlookers immediately fell to their knees and prayed and praised.
When the time came, 300 samurai, wearing a golden robe and a long sword at his waist, came, and I have to say that his demeanor and charm were indeed amazing.
When he arrived at the temple, Vicy dismounted again, respectfully led the white ox, and asked the chief priest, Eddie, to offer sacrifices.
When the sacrifice was finished and God's blessing was announced, the entire army and people involved cheered, and he couldn't help but clench his fists in the face of all this.
After the ritual was completed and the army was dispatched, the chief priest, Eddie, refused to send paladins and templars on the grounds that the warriors of the gods fought only for the gods, but sent 150 priests to penetrate into the armyβa third of the priests of the church.
Vesy then set out with his army, crossing a middle jungle rainforest, the terrain began to settle down, and on the fifth day after leaving the city, everyone finally saw the city of Bottel.
Although the city of Botel is not the main city, it is also a big city, and there is a famous river flowing through it outside the city, so the land here is the rich land of the entire city-state world.
Standing on the hills and looking at the gentle land that stretched out in all directions, looking at the blue sky, he felt that his heart suddenly opened up, and the wind gently blew Vicsy's dusty robes, he took a deep breath, for him, there was nothing more than victory in the war, to consolidate his authority and strength.
Looking back, behind them was a group of cavalrymen, clad in armor, wearing feathered helmets, carrying spears, and swords at their waists, and they all stood there, and one felt the power of condensation.
Perhaps, this is the strength I can rely on?
Vesy thought so, and he gave the order to set up camp.
At the order, the camp was quickly erected, a fence made of huge logs, very bulky, but very strong, and nearby, there were towers, on which were archers.
The whole camp, 15,000 people, is divided into tents, each tent can sleep 10 people, so there are more than 1,500 tents in total.
"Look at me, O God of heaven, and look at me, and I will be victorious, and I will spread the glory to the world......" Visy looked at the magnificent scene, and he whispered a hymn in his mouth, but this poem spread around, but it was so quiet, it seemed that only his voice was echoing, and Vesy could not help but tremble.
After the camp was set up, the arranged guards and soldiers patrolled around, and the rhythmic pace continued one after another.
Just then, a young man came over, he was wearing armor.
"Oh, it's you, Bruton!"
"My king, according to your orders, the camp has been completed."
"Well, Bruton, what do you think of tomorrow's battle?" Although he is the true king, he can't help but fluctuate a little in the first war, and the war that is also related to his future fate and future.
"You are the one who is favored by God, and you will win this battle!" Bruton said confidently.
Wei Xi nodded slightly, this is a brave and straightforward soldier, quite in line with his temperament, after all, everyone likes such a person, of course, the god he said is the god of war, not the lord of radiance.
"I heard you killed a bear before?"
"Yes, I was given the grace of God at the age of ten to lead the power of my Lord, and I slew a bear alone at the age of ten, and my priests were greatly astonished!" Bruton was very proud of this, and he said, "My king, you don't have to worry, there are only three thousand warriors in the city of Bottel, and they are not our opponents. β
"Yes, it should be!" "Perhaps," said Vesy, "You can tell us about your past. β
So Bruton began to speak, most of what he said was battles, although there were no large-scale wars, but small-scale battles, without a day of stopping, Bruton participated in three battles of some scale, experienced more than ten battles, in his tone, those warriors who burned with flames and bathed in blood, and the wails of the enemy before death, all in his ears.
Listening and listening, Vicsy's heart finally settled.
