Chapter 399: Purification and Atonement Ritual

As time passed, the killing feast in the square continued!

Every bit of blood-colored star that falls, it means that a believer will die! The Judgment Warriors who belong to the Temple of the Holy Blood are the most ardent defenders of the Great Lord, and they slaughter their own kind without mercy!

For, according to the doctrine, these objects marked by the "light of sin" are degenerates, false believers, and dissidents who have turned their backs on the glory of the Holy Lord! The only end that awaits them is to be put to death, in this way to atone for their sins!

Within the Voroticol civilization, this seemingly bloody and cruel activity was regarded as a ritual of "purification and atonement"!

Whoever is not religious enough and has turned their backs on the glory of the Great Lord will be identified in such a ceremony, and then dragged away and executed by the berserker warriors of the Holy Blood Temple! No one is immune!

More than an hour has passed, and the number of beheaded believers has reached tens of thousands, and the number of the entire legion has decreased by almost a third! The huge square was covered with blood, like a Shura hell!

On the ground, those intricate and delicate patterns and pale golden mysterious symbols began to emit a faint light, silently absorbing and devouring the blood that flowed out.

Of course, at the forefront of the many phalanxes, those powerhouses with the Battle King rank still maintained their composure, and the blood-colored stars basically did not patronize groups like them.

But a quarter of an hour later, the altar on the high platform suddenly emitted a strange humming sound, and a fist-sized blood-colored star rose rapidly, hovering in mid-air for a few seconds, and suddenly slammed into a burly believer standing at the front edge of the phalanx.

I saw the blood-colored star flying towards me. This believer, who had the peak strength of the War King and had an obviously high status, had a shocked and inexplicable expression of disbelief on his face.

However, he had no chance to do anything. The Holy Emblem Priest on the high platform scolded, and dozens of high-level adjudicator warriors pounced like evil tigers. I couldn't help but drag him out of the phalanx and escort him to the bottom of the high platform!

“…… Do? What are you going to do? ”

He struggled and roared angrily, "I, Hamza, am the brother of His Highness Venimus, the Great Golden Caliph, I have participated in many holy wars, and my devout faith in the Holy Lord has been tested more than once! I am innocent! You can't do that to me......"

"Huh!"

The priest of the Holy Emblem twitched his face a few times, and said gloomily: "Whether you are pious or not, it is not something that you can count by talking about it!" Under the gaze of the Great Lord, all the degenerate and false believers will have nothing to hide! ”

Hamza's face turned grim and roared: "Nonsense! You are the demon who has killed the devout followers of the Cult in the name of the Great Lord! See what you've been up to these days? Our Holy War Legion is always forced to participate in this deadly ritual of purification and atonement, and your legions have nothing to do! ”

"You damn bastard. Isn't it just an old dog who has taken refuge in Radamantis? In the name of the Holy Lord, suppress and weaken our power! Pleasing that shameless and cruel tyrant, you are the real sinner who deserves purgatory......"

The old priest of the Holy Emblem changed his face, slapped the scepter fiercely, and sneered: "Cut off the head of this degenerate, and his limbs!" To dare to question the outcome of the judgment of the Holy Blood Temple is to doubt the great Holy Lord, his soul is irreredeemable, and only eternal purgatory is his ultimate destination! ”

The snowy blade flashed, and the roar stopped abruptly!

The old priest, who felt offended by the majesty, was still angry. Roaring viciously, "This Holy War Legion is very problematic! I think they are tainted by the demonic aura, otherwise there would not have been so many degenerates and false believers! So the purification ritual must be extended for another hour! ”

The altar on the high platform roared, and more blood-colored stars kept flying out and falling, so the adjudicator warriors on the periphery became even busier......

Interior of the tower in the center of the square. In a magnificent and gorgeous hall, several majestic figures were standing by the large floor-to-ceiling windows, quietly watching the bloody massacre carried out in the name of the Holy Lord. Or rather, cleaning!

After a long time, one of the figures spoke: "Great Your Majesty. Although it is our established strategy to weaken the power of those guys, these forces are rare after all. Rather than let them die in this kind of ritual senselessly, it is better to throw them all on the battlefield, at least before they die, they can play some value! ”

The figure in the center did not speak, and the other figure said, "Your Highness Tialan, your opinion is not unreasonable. But this group of degenerates who claim to be enlightened reformers have always been insidious and cunning, and like to avoid the enemy in order to preserve their strength! Even secretly colluding with those damned infidels! ”

"In the future, the holy war will begin, and if this group of guys exists, it will only ruin our plans! So we must use every opportunity we can to suppress and weaken their power! This is the only way to do what is in our best interest! ”

Unlike those extremely fanatical diehards, the golden caliphs of the enlightened reform faction are generally much more rational and long-term, and have a clearer understanding of the image and status of the entire civilization among the Xinghai tribes.

Therefore, they have gradually realized that blindly using force and bloody means to expand their faith is a short-sighted and extremely unwise means, and one day they will be wiped out because of their reckless use of force and too many enemies!

Therefore, they are more inclined to a more peaceful and stable development strategy, and they are more tolerant of other intelligent civilizations in the Star Sea, and are willing to put aside religious disputes and engage in various forms of mutually beneficial cooperation with them. Instead of threatening with force at every turn, as in the past!

There is no doubt that the approach of the enlightened reform faction is more conducive to the development and progress of the whole civilization, but this is absolutely unbearable for the bigwigs of the stubborn conservatives! Therefore, after Radamantis came to power, it became the first task of the stubborn conservatives to spare no effort to suppress and weaken the power of the enlightened reform faction!

According to their assumptions, it would be better for all the Golden Caliphs of the Enlightened Reform faction to be dead, including all of their kin-affiliated legions! Only in this way will the great Divine Cult return to the most correct path of development!

As for whether such a short-sighted approach will weaken the qi of the entire civilization, affect the long-term interests of the empire, and eventually cause unpredictable disasters, they will not think too much about it!

Tiaran thought for a moment, and finally said, "Alright! Dear Highness Samoki, your point of view is justified! In order for the glory of the Great Lord not to be tarnished, it is indeed not time to let their power continue to grow and develop! ”

……

The entrance of the Imperial Palace.

Qin Zhaoyuan's convoy was slowly slowing down and preparing to land, but he never thought that the sky above his head had darkened steeply, and the faint killing intent instantly made the palace guards' nerves tense!

“…… Sure enough, there are really people who are not afraid of death! Qin Huang looked around and sighed slightly.

Qin Zhaoyuan said: "Normally, this should be the time when our spirit is the most relaxed, so they don't choose to do it when they are outside, but they want to make trouble in this place!" ”

Having said that, the Imperial Palace's defense force can be said to be the most powerful place in the entire empire, and no matter how lax it is, it is impossible for those guys to take advantage of it!

Of course, due to the extreme caution of His Royal Highness the Prince, they couldn't find a more suitable opportunity at all, and they wasted so many days that they could only make this decision in the end!

Under the effect of some unknown mechanism, the sky actually darkened completely, and layers of strange dark clouds rolled in the distance, and the surrounding environment soon lost its fingers!

However, the palace guards and royal worshippers have already launched defensive formations, and several energy shields that are strong enough to resist the bombardment of the main artillery of the war fortress have been opened one after another, firmly protecting the prince and the others in it!

A few seconds later, hundreds of black mangs shot down, striking the outer energy shield at high speed, inspiring ripples and fluctuations! One after another, the fiercely shaped mecha appeared quickly, cooperating with each other and swooping towards the position of the prince!

Immediately, more mechs poured out from the Imperial Palace to meet them, and they mingled with these courageous assassins, and from time to time the mechs were shattered by powerful attacks and the energy shield was shattered, and the mechs were directly exploded!

The attackers were mainly two kinds of mechas, one was pitch black like a dark night canopy, with a mysterious brilliance dotted with stars. On the thick armor shield on the chest is the head of a lifelike unknown beast. It was the "Night Prison Light" that Qin Huang had seen last time!

The other kind of mecha has a pale silver body, with light gray colorful stripes, and the reaction speed of the mecha is slightly inferior to the "Night Hell Light", but the attack firepower is extremely fierce, and three hundred mecha of the same model cooperate with the attack, which actually makes the palace guard legion suffer a lot of losses for a while!

"This should be 'Extreme Frost', right? With those 'Lights of the Night Hell', the Temple of Hades is really willing to pay for it! Qin Huang said in surprise.

Qin Zhaoyuan smiled indifferently: "The head of the Duan family has died a precious son, and this time he actually took out so much elite strength, if they all stay here, I don't know what kind of wonderful expression he will have?" ”

A few days ago, the head of the Duan family sent an official notice to the government of the Holy Xinlan Empire in the name of the Hades Temple, demanding a reasonable explanation for the fall of Duan Kongyun's body and compensation for all kinds of losses in the Hades Temple!

It's just that Qin Weilie didn't mean to be soft at all, and directly replied with strong wording, blocking the other party back!

Therefore, the head of the Duan family was annoyed and angry, and finally decided to defend the glory and dignity of the family by force!

A full two hundred "Night Hell Lights", although not as good as Duan Kongyun's, but they all have the strength of the dark gold mecha god generals, plus the three hundred non-growth "Extreme Frost Ling", under normal circumstances, such a powerful lineup is more than enough to ambush the head of a country!

It's just that the well-prepared prince's side is impermeable, and reinforcements are constantly rushing out of the imperial palace, not giving them the slightest chance at all!
