Chapter 269: The Wrath of the Gods (Part II)

War can destroy everything. The fleeing Titans originally thought that they would face the slaughter of the Tangulas Empire, but at this time, the Blood Knights were quietly recalled and gathered in the upper reaches of the Chishui River, ready to cross the river at any time. Those responsible for cleaning up the duchy were replaced by regular knights of the Holy See.

Pastors began to recruit believers in a big way, and hundreds of churches were built. As long as you believe in the Lord of Light, not only will you not be killed, but you will also be able to get back your lost land and peasants.

The nobles of the Titans did not hate the Holy See as much as the Qin Yin people, especially the minor nobles, and they were noncommittal about the existence of the Holy See. The Agareth family had disappeared without making any noise, so many minor nobles began to turn to the Holy See in exchange for freedom and wealth.

The disobedient nobleman was arrested by the people of the inquisition and sent to a black prison, and it was impossible to get out in this life. So north of the Chishui River, there was a brief lull, as if the war was over. At this time, it is late autumn, and the winter is now in sight, and the farmers do not need to work. Most of them are driven to repair the dilapidated city.

The Holy See said it soundly, but in fact, most of the Titan nobles were still killed. Otherwise, where would the land for the construction of churches and expansion of assets come from? Leaving a part of the nobility behind is also to spread God's forbearance. Once the nobility of the Titans was divided, they could no longer gather together to resist the Holy See, and the north was pacified.

This kind of thing has thousands of years of experience in the Holy See, and it is easy to do.

Occupying the north of the Chishui River immediately gave the Tangulas Empire an additional barrier to the south, and it was impossible for the Yunliu Empire to break through on land and threaten the Tangulas Empire. The Tangulas Empire only needs to hold the important cities along the coast, and do not let Yunliu's fleet send troops to land, so that it can safely organize its forces and break the deadlock in Garolan again.

Yunliu's army is far inferior to the naval division, and what the Tangulas Empire is worried about is that Yunliu will launch a two-sided offensive, flanking on both sides of the sea and land, if that happens, even if the army on Yunliu's land is not as good as the Tangulas Iron Cavalry, the Tangulas Empire is also very dangerous.

Once this kind of thing happens, the Tangulas Empire will be equal to fighting on three sides, and at that time, who can guarantee that Skolchenya will not fall into the ground? The Skolchenians can see the money, as long as the interests are there, those mercenaries will immediately flock to it.

Therefore, the Tangulas Empire's invasion of the Titan is also a helpless thing, unless Yunliuken signs an alliance with the Tangulas Empire. The problem is that the Holy See wants too many things, and it is impossible for the Yunliu royal family to back down. In taxes alone, the Holy See draws nearly half of its annual revenue from the Tangulas royal family.

Other words. Although the Tangulas Empire has the largest land area among the four empires, its actual income is the lowest, because of the vampire of the Holy See, the Tangulas Empire has always had a huge and heavy tax. Even so, it was not possible to extricate the Tangulas Empire from its predicament.

The people of the Tangulas Empire were the most miserable, and the Holy See often gave alms to the poor, so it had a very good reputation. Where did the peasants understand this, if it were not for the Holy See, the taxes of the Tangulas Empire would not have been so much at all. Moreover, the Holy See also occupies a large amount of land, which in addition to the construction of churches, also has its own fields.

This time, the Tangulas Empire conspired with the Holy See to take over the world, and the first step was to invade Garudan. Because the people of Jialoulan are extravagant, they are far inferior to Qin Yin's fierceness. Who would have thought that Emperor Qin Yin would personally conquer and disrupt the good situation, and the Holy See would plan and ambush Emperor Qin Yin. But Emperor Qin Yin was dead, and the Holy See also suffered heavy losses.

Because of this, the situation in Garudan was leveled again. The negotiations between the Tangulas Empire and Yunliu also broke down, so they immediately invaded Titan to stabilize the border situation.

Everything went very smoothly until today.

Glorious Plains, the Sacred City. It is the largest church in the Empire, and this church is also the center of theocracy, where the 32nd Pope conducts official business.

Nicol Cathedral is a complex of more than 100 buildings. At the top of the center, there is an open altar. The altar is 100 meters in circumference and is the centerpiece of the city.

In the center of the altar, intricate inscriptions, patterns, lines, and mystical symbols are carved. On the four sides of the altar, there are a total of twenty-four tall pillars, and at any given time, the sunlight shines through the crystals at the top, spilling the condensed light onto the altar.

The altar was originally level, but now there is an extra stone platform on it, and on the stone platform, there is a copy of the Holy See's legal code. In front of the stone platform, an old man in a golden robe stood there with a solemn expression, and behind him was a group of bishops in red clothes.

At the center of the altar, in the center of the picture used for the sacrifice, is a charred human body.

Sacrifice of the Holy See. It is to use the living. And this living person was originally the elite of the Holy See, but after being baptized by God, his strength was immediately strengthened by two levels, and he was qualified to become a cardinal. And this time the sacrifice was furious, and directly burned this promising believer to charcoal.

Beside the Pope, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe picked up the code and flipped to the back section. His lips trembled, and he looked at it line by line, speechless for a long time.

"Sharjah, what the hell is going on?" the Pope said, looking at the man who had been burned to death, in a very bad mood.

In the battle with Emperor Qin Yin, the Pope's power suffered the greatest loss, and the strength of the Seven Divine Envoys was the most fully retained. The divine envoys have now faintly decided to break away from the Pope, and the person Faka is too ambitious. If he succeeds, the Holy See will be divided for the first time since its founding.

Originally, this red deacon was selected by the Pope from thousands of people, and his strength was already equivalent to that of a seventh-level magician of a human race, and after the baptism of divine light, he could immediately become a ninth-level powerhouse. Unexpectedly, the gods were furious and affected innocents, and this elite was less than a second. and died in the divine light.

The cardinals were silent, and you Theo claimed to be seriously injured and would die soon, but in fact his injuries were severe, not to the point of death. Several dissenting guys have been directly wiped out by the Pope, how dare these cardinals think about it again.

Sharjah is the head of the pope, that is, the papal chamberlain, and does not have much power, but if the pope dies unexpectedly and no successor is appointed, he is the temporary pope. At the same time, as the prefect of the Pope, he also mastered a very important artifact of the Holy See, the Ring of the Gods.

Legend has it that the Ring of the Gods was forged by the Lord of Radiance who conquered the divine realm and killed countless gods. The power of this artifact is even more powerful than the Pope's three artifacts. It's just that the Ring of the Gods can only exert its greatest power with the Lord of Radiance, and humans will never be able to control it.

Sharjah closed the code and said, "Your Excellency, God...... Give an oracle. ”

"What?"

Not only the cardinals, but even the Pope was shocked. Generally speaking, the Lord of Light will only send down the oracle after a special ceremony, and it is never said that the oracle is directly put into words and published on the legal code.

"On the Glorious Continent, there are many believers in gods. ”

Sharjah's words numb everyone. The most that the Holy See has done in these years is to hunt down infidels. After all, the lifespan of human beings is limited, and after killing for two or three hundred years, the basic believers will die by themselves even if they are not caught. The Holy See has agents throughout the continent who specialize in searching for infidels, and it can be said that there have been no real infidels for more than five hundred years, except for black magicians.

However, the demon gods that the black mages believe in are not real gods, and they cannot use their faith to preach. God's wrath this time was apparently due to the fact that the pagans who appeared were true believers in the gods.

The little divine power on Saleen's body was actually only brought by the Tree of Life, and there was no faith, so it was difficult to detect. When the cardinal returned to Tangulas, he did not report it to the Pope, but wanted to settle it in the sphere of influence of the Inquisition, which was a great achievement.

And the divine power that Ismail exudes is the true power of faith. He frequently used the Elemental Spear and the Eye of Hades, and he used it in the purgatory space that the Lord of Light personally refined, and the Lord of Light could not detect it even if he could not descend on the plane of the Myers Continent.

How many years have his two powerful followers been beheaded by Ismail. No one has yet challenged his authority on the continent of Myrs. If this was done by an ordinary person, the gods wouldn't care at all. But this was the work of other deity believers, and the Lord of Light was furious.

The worst thing is that Neris is still using the power contained in the crystal to erase the imprint of the gods in the twelve movements of purgatory, making the Lord of Light think that the believers of that god are challenging his dignity.

It's like if you go to someone's house, kill the servant of the house, and then change the title deed and take the house as well.

"Holy wars must be carried out in advance, and all those who reject the gifts of the gods must be wiped out. Sharjah's voice was bitter, because he knew that on the continent of Myers, the Holy See did not have this ability. But this is God's will and cannot be disobeyed.

Pope Dinisio was silent for a full five minutes before he said to Sharjah: "What about Faka?"

"Lord Faka is not in the Holy City, he has been gone for a few months. ”

"Call the referee here......" Dinisio sighed deeply. Although the Holy See has now launched a war, the scale of the war is well controlled, unlike the Holy See, once the Holy See has launched a holy war, the Holy See must immediately mobilize all its forces to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy.

Ismail had no idea that he would cause such a big deal of trouble by killing two adjudicators. Now not only is he dead, but the next thing that will die will be countless creatures on this continent.

Sharjah bowed and retreated, and the Pope looked back at the dozens of cardinals, and said coldly: "What are you still doing in a daze, arrange for me to see Your Majesty, and ask him to come here at this time tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. "The cardinals left in a panic, what happened today was so shocking. Never in many years have the gods been so furious. These cardinals were more or less terrified in their hearts, because there were many things they did that did not conform to their teachings. I don't know if the gods are all in their eyes.

On the altar, the charred body was pulled away and thrown into a mass grave outside the city. Those killed by the gods have no right to enter the Holy See cemetery. Although this person may be very religious, he is morally unblemished.
