Chapter 13: Into the Epic of Mortals

At the end of the song, people are scattered, and they are getting farther and farther away!

In the battle of the imperial capital, Dugu Feng did not see the end, and was taken away from the City of Glory by St. Themis.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, after abducting the "son of the gods" of the Holy Hyrule Empire blessed by the supreme god, the mysterious woman of St. Themis did not rush to leave the land of the Holy Hyrule Empire, but traveled with Princess Alphnia on this land like an ordinary traveler.

And, as if to give Princess Alphnia a real touch of the real side of the world, St. Themis did not forbid Alphnia from acting, but allowed her to come into contact with the travelers along the way, listen to their stories, and observe their lives.

……

The distant green hills are shrouded in a white mist, and the wide Tongjun Avenue is densely lined with various broad-leaved plants. The Holy Hyrule Empire occupies the most fertile region on the continent, with the most fertile and flat lands and extremely abundant rainfall.

It's the height of summer, when the plants are at their most luxuriant, and with the fertile land rich in nutrients and enough rain to irrigate, even the vegetation on both sides of the avenue is quite dense.

These leafy plants are so close together that they even resemble a green screen, sheltering the unemployed on both sides. With the breeze blowing by, the branches and leaves swaying, the shadows of the trees swaying, and the rustling sound is as melodious as the sound of the waves in the quiet night.

The great battle that took place in the Shining City is far away, but the effects of that war continue to ferment. The power of the legendary powerhouse is enough to change the world and interfere with nature. And a big battle with more than double ten, with the participation of the top powerhouses in the entire continent, has changed the climate of the entire Holy Hyrule Empire.

The magic power that erupted in the high-intensity battle between more than twenty legendary powerhouses directly set off a huge elemental tide between heaven and earth. And because of the chain reaction brought about by the elemental tides, the entire Holy Hairule Empire has ushered in typhoons, torrential rains, floods and other extremely abnormal catastrophic climates.

Dugufeng has encountered several unexpected heavy rains along the way. Fortunately, this place is a prosperous area of the Holy Hailar Empire, and the towns and villages along the way are very dense, and there is no shortage of shelter from the rain.

Therefore, when a traveler is hit by heavy rain, there is always time to pull up the canopy, speed up the pace, and feel sheltered from the rain in a village or town.

So, despite the heavy rain and the hard work, there is still a chance to hide in a tavern or inn, and enjoy a comfortable fire, drink, and discuss the latest news over the rain.

What happened in the City of Radiance has spread. Although Dugufeng didn't see the final ending, according to the news he heard intermittently along the way, he also knew the general result.

This is a lose-lose battle, whether it is the Holy Hyrule Empire and the Church of the Supreme God, or the side of heretical forces such as orcs, elves, fishmen, and undead, several legendary powerhouses have fallen.

On the side of the Holy Hyrule Empire, a Protector Archmage and a Knight of the Guardian Kingdom have fallen. And this fallen knight of the town country is none other than the sixth knight of the empire, the shining sun knight Mariana.

Sitting quietly in the carriage, Dugu Feng calmly looked at the newspaper he had just bought - the world had already invented newspapers and they were extremely popular.

Now, each new edition is divided into two halves, with a black and white bust of the First Princess Mariana on the left and a colorful oil painting on the right depicting the grand wedding of the Emperor of Light when he won the First Princess.

Then two lines of words are written in a very thick, large and symmetrical way:

"The fall of a legend, the end of an era."

In the second edition, the full text is the following:

"The legend of Princess Mariana has come to an end, the curtain has come to an end forever, this is the sadness of an era, the end of an era......"

“…… The past seventy years have been the greatest era of the Holy Hyrule Empire, a time when the empire quickly became glorious and ruled the entire world. We used to live in such wonderful times...... And Princess Mariana, who was born into a commoner, is the epitome of this whole era......"

"I don't want to go into the exploits of the great Princess Mariana, which would make this article very long, but I just want to emphasize that Princess Mariana was a knight who fulfilled her vows with her life......"

Dugufeng glanced at the beginning, and casually flipped through the following articles, and found that the article did not mention too much about the battle that happened in the Radiant City, but focused on memories, commemorations, and praise of Mariana's imperial concubines and deeds, and avoided talking about more things.

Dugufeng is very familiar with this kind of routine, but it is just a regular method of guiding public opinion! It's just that such an intensive and high-profile direction of public opinion in one direction seems abnormal.

"The Pope used the Great Judgment Technique to summon the Light of Judgment in the Heavenly Realm!"

Saint Themis said lightly: "The super strong of the orc clan fought against the Holy Thunder Gate, took the initiative to sacrifice himself, and blocked the light of judgment this time. With the Pope's physical state and the backlash of the Great Judgment, I am afraid that the end of his life will be in three months. ”

Dugu Feng raised his head slightly, put on a puzzled look, and looked at St. Themis.

"The Emperor of Light was also hit hard this time, and this time the interracial alliance was mainly aimed at the Pope and him. If it weren't for the Sixth Knight Mariana who took the initiative to sacrifice and block the fatal blow for him, the current Holy Hyrule Empire would have needed a new emperor. ”

It's really well done!

Although theoretically in the hostile camp, Dugu Feng also had to secretly praise the raid of the Interracial Alliance.

With the strength of the current Supreme God Church and the sect under its command, it is actually close to the general momentum, and it only needs to sweep the motherland and unify the human world according to the plan, and then you can raise the banner of holy war and sweep away the alien races of the entire world.

However, after this great battle, since the end of the pope's life is within three months, the Church of the Most High God will soon fall into a state of leaderlessness, and in order to compete for the throne of the Pope, the qualified cardinals in the entire Church of the Supreme God may have to fight fiercely before they can decide the winner. And during this time, at least until the new pope stabilizes his authority, the Church may not be able to give much support to the Holy Hyrule Empire.

The Sixth Knight has fallen, and the Emperor of Light has been severely injured - it is said that he is now completely unconscious, and can only seal his body in a crystal cylinder filled with holy water, slowly repairing his injuries.

With the loss of two key pivotal figures in succession, the thriving trend of the entire Holy Hyrule Empire can be said to have been interrupted. Originally, the Church of the Supreme God swept across the continent, and the date of unifying the beliefs of this plane may have to be postponed here. This time, not only the orcs, elves, fishmen, undead and other alien races gained precious time, but even the beings of this plane also got an extremely valuable opportunity.
