Volume 5 Paradise Lost Chapter 226 You Say It's God, That's it
A cold fog lingered over Roseburg with a chill, and Richard was informed of the outcome of the war, or rather the final casualties of the battle. A total of 120 Richard's soldiers and peasants in Roseburg were killed and more than 60 were wounded, and Lodge's army also had almost 150 killed, and about 50 to 60 wounded, this result is not accurate, because after Lodge's army was dispersed, many people did not surrender on the spot but fled into the darkness.
Bodies with severed necks, severed hands and feet, corpses trampled to pulp, all bodies were collected together. The thick smell of blood wafted in the darkness, and the thick fog was stimulated by the smell of blood to some dark creatures, but the dragon power that appeared not long ago and the powerful magical elements that remained in the air made them cautious not to show their heads easily, and on the other side, Richard arranged for soldiers to pour fire oil on these corpses. Now the corpses in this world will become walking corpses if left unattended for a long time, and there may even be some parasitic monsters sneaking into these corpses and turning into wandering corpses to attack the living everywhere, so all corpses will be burned whenever they have the opportunity.
The smell of fire oil mixed with the smell of blood formed a pungent and strange smell, and the inhabitants of Soldier Roseburg looked at the mass of corpses from afar with sad and dull eyes, life may not be a blessing, death may be a relief, and those who died in the Garden of Eden may be merciful to the people who are struggling to survive.
As the lord of the realm, Richard must say something at this time to get everything back on track and make people forget about the war for a while. Richard walked in front of the two soldiers who lit torches, gathered up the ups and downs in his heart, made a gesture of prayer, and then turned to all the survivors.
"Light is swallowed up by darkness, demons enslave the world, and the light of the Lord is overshadowed by evil. We are lost in the darkness, we have lost our loved ones, our lovers, our friends, we have lost our hopes, but we cannot lose our faith, and losing our faith means that we cannot see the moment when the darkness is banished, and we must believe that one day the light of the Lord will destroy evil, and the world will return to the right track, and we are still alive, and the Lord has not abandoned us. Follow me and pray! Richard opened his arms in a hugging gesture, and the two soldiers beside him put their torches on the ground, folded their hands in front of their chests, and bowed their heads in reverent prayer.
"The Lord has given me courage to face the sun and the darkness to come, the Lord has given me the courage to face the mountains and become plains, the rivers have swallowed up the land, the Lord has given me the courage to face the sky and the ground to crack, the Lord has given me the courage to lie quietly on the grass so that the scorpions and vipers will not tear my body, the light of the Lord has driven out the darkness so that my eyes can see the beauty of the world, Amen!"
Richard prayed word by word to the God who didn't know where, and the survivors of Roseburg repeated his words, at first in a small voice, and then more and more people repeated it, and the voice grew louder. When the demons appeared, the people in the Garden of Eden could not deny the existence of God, and God gave them hope to live, even though no one in the Garden of Eden witnessed the glory and power of God.
Richard prayed reverently, but his eyes were fixed on the piles of corpses. No one noticed a slight pause in his prayer as he spoke a certain passage, a very brief pause when the palm of a white hand with congealed blood curdled in the pile of corpses moved slightly.
The sign of the resurrection of the dead made the corners of Richard's eyes jump slightly, and the dark environment in the Garden of Eden made the resurrection of the dead much earlier, Richard observed this and immediately cut off a long tirade, and directly ordered, "We will greet the moment of glory with the hope of the dead, burn them, and let them sleep forever!" ”
Richard beckoned, and the two soldiers pulled the torches out of the ground, and the torches tumbled and left small spots of burning and fell into the pile of corpses, and the fierce flames burned quickly along the flames, and suddenly someone stood up in the center of the flames, and the terrifying wail filled Roseburg with a chill, and many of the farmers in Roseburg could not stand this scene and turned back to Roseburg, and more people looked at this scene without looking away, until the standing figure was engulfed by the flames and fell down again.
The light of the fire would probably take a long time to burn all the corpses clean, and he looked at the light of the fire and ordered the soldiers beside him, "Look here, I don't want anything to come out of the fire!" ”
"Yes, my lord!" The soldier who heard the order replied respectfully. Tonight's battle has confirmed Richard's position in this part of California, and he is now finally able to rank among the dozen or so lords of California, and the expansion of the territory represents a significant increase in strength, these soldiers can get more supplies, and they have more respect for Richard in words.
Richard walked in the ruined Roseburg, several of his powerful fighters were seriously injured in this battle, Hodder was saved by the prophet and seemed to be fine, but now he is still in a coma, the berserker Joseph also had to rest for a long time because of exhaustion, the berserker's bloodline is not weak, but it has a fatal flaw, whenever the bloodline erupts, it needs to burn life, burning life is too much burden for a fragile body like a human being, although Chuck is not a qualified warrior, but he was also very desperate last night, Now that only half a life is left lying in Roseburg, and many of the other soldiers are not necessarily very good, this is also the reason why Richard did not decide to actually occupy Lodge's territory anytime soon, and his army must be repaired.
Richard himself needed to rest, but after visiting a few of the soldiers who mattered most to him, he walked to the mage tower, where Li Xian was still waiting for him. This kind of visit is a bit like a subordinate to a superior, but in fact, Li Xian never said that he was Richard's superior, and Richard had to listen to him, but this is indeed the case in the Garden of Eden, there is some meaning of divine authority here, the prophet generally represents a god or the belief of a certain god, and even if the lord is very powerful, it is just a profession or bloodline inheritance, and it does not have a comparable surname with God at all, so as long as the prophet can send down miracles or communicate with God, then naturally has a very transcendent status, These are not only common among human lords, but also effective among demon lords, except that the demon lords only give face to those dark gods, and the face of other gods depends on the mood of the demons to decide whether to give them or not. Richard didn't know who Li Xian represented, he said it was God, Richard didn't care, as long as he had the strength, Li Xian said that God was God.
