Chapter 705: Atrocities (Part II)
Salin has destroyed churches in more than ten cities in a row along the way, unlike the last time he destroyed Iron Wall City, Salin this time only targets churches, as well as the believers who protect the church.
The little girl who wanted to protect the cardinal never persuaded Salin since she went to the Floating City, but kept watching. See for yourself how Saleen destroyed the church.
Instead, Salin couldn't help but ask the girl, "Why don't you try to convince me to give up attacking these churches?"
The little girl's face was full of piety, and she said to Salin, "It is God who uses your hands to cleanse the filth of this time." Those who do not believe in the gods, those who do not believe in purity, will go to hell. ”
"Is your faith pure?"
"Of course, I believe that the gods will come to save me, otherwise how could I not die?" the little girl's words made Salin cry and laugh.
Is this the logic of believers? The only way to refute the little girl is to kill her.
But he promised the cardinal that he would not kill this ......
"How old are you?"
"Twelve years old. ”
Saleen thought to himself, I don't need to kill a twelve-year-old child in order to discern something. It's just that, unless she is thrown into purifying purgatory, this little girl will firmly believe in the Lord of Radiance, and provide the purest power of faith for the Lord of Radiance.
Even without divine magic, this little girl is close to the saints.
Saleen didn't try to convince anyone, and this time he came to Tangulas to use violence to destroy the nation's faith network. All the churches, he will not let go.
What's more, when I saw the floating city, the people who were still guarding the church were the purest guys in faith. That's the kind of person Salin wants to exterminate. A noble believer provides a hundred times more power of faith than a false believer.
What is the most important thing about a religion? not a legal code, but a devout believer.
The Floating City gradually approached the Tangulas Empire, and between the Tangulas Empire and the Divine Grace Principality, there was a relatively large city, and this city belonged to the Holy See.
Cologne, a city with a population of only 100,000, is visited by more than a million worshippers every year. This is the second place after the Holy City, and in the hearts of the faithful, it is also a holy place.
Saleen was not very fast, so as he approached the city of Cologne, there were more papal believers, marching towards the city of Cologne, preparing to apologetic.
In the Nick Cathedral, the headquarters of the Holy See, the young Pope, dressed in holy robes, sat at the end of the round table and listened to the cardinals' reports.
Behind him, there was a young magician in a white robe, the new Pope's Chief. In fact, the status of the Pope is very special, and in normal times, he is only a servant of the Pope.
Geggs was a little impatient, his hands clutched in his sleeves, holding on to something.
He did not have the three artifacts of Pope Dinisio, but around his neck, he wore a crystal skull. The young man behind him had a gloomy expression, and there was an obvious divine imprint at the center of his eyebrows.
It was a sign of his submission to Gegs, a powerful young magician who was forced by the oracle to make a pact with the young Pope.
This kind of contract can be said to be extremely unfair, but by the time the Divine Messenger was present, the Cardinal Council was in complete chaos, and only the orders of the Divine Envoy were the only ones that could be carried out.
He gave his freedom, but he received the power of the Divine Messenger.
"Your Excellency, the people of the Mission of God, why don't you see it? One of the cardinals below questioned Geggs.
It's no secret that the oracle is gone, as everyone knows. At this time, the members of the mission of God came to the Holy City, and the young Pope turned them away.
The elders of the Cardinal Council have long been ready to move, and when the oracle is there, they can still suppress it, and the oracle disappears, but these people are all qualified to become the next pope.
Geges is only a pope appointed by the divine envoy, and without the three artifacts, he does not meet the rules of the legal code.
The elders of the College of Cardinals exchanged glances with each other, and none of them would be the first to do so, because they did not want to lose the opportunity to lose the papal throne.
Historically, there have indeed been cases where the Pope was deposed by his own people, and it will be accompanied by blood. Anyone who kills a pope loses the right to become the next pope.
Geges sneered: "You all want me to leave here as soon as possible, so why do you ask me why I don't see the people of the Divine Mission? If I have a tacit understanding with the people of the Divine Mission, and make a secret deal, will you not get anything?"
Geges sarcastically said in a tone that didn't match his age at all. The cardinals, because they were wearing red robes, could not see the change in the color of their faces.
Perhaps, this is God's will, otherwise why would the people of God's mission wear white robes?
Seeing that the cardinals did not answer, Geges waved his hand and said, "Go and tell the people of the Divine Mission, unless Faka comes to see me, let them go." ”
"The Pope, the blasphemous mage, is flying to Cologne. "A cardinal who saw the matter of the oracle could not let Geges relent, so he had to say something else.
If Geges were willing to see the people of the Divine Mission, the Cardinal was willing to pay a huge price for the people of the Divine Mission to kill Gerges.
Everything must have a fixed procedure, and now killing the Pope for no reason will not benefit everyone.
Unlike the Divine Mission, the Divine Envoy can directly receive instructions from the Divine Mission. If the people of the Divine Mission kill Geggs, then an oracle can be compiled, and everyone will be good at that time.
If the Pope doesn't go out in Nick Cathedral, no one can do anything about him.
This child, named Geges, did not know where the oracle came from, and had a cold personality and could not be convinced.
"The city of Cologne, the city of saints. Geges smiled, a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Yes, Your Excellency, you give your orders instead. A cardinal chattered.
Geges turned around and said to his Pope, "Uya, is that so?"
The magician, named Uya, replied: "Your Excellency, you are the Patriarch of the Holy See, and all the magicians will act under your light. This time, the mage is menacing, targeting all the churches of the Holy See, we can't defend them one by one, but he will definitely go to Cologne, and you should indeed issue an order for the faithful to defend that city. ”
"Okay, I'll hand over this right to you for the time being, I'm still young after all, Wuya, how to mobilize manpower, it's up to you to decide. ”
Geggs's words were a little out of line, but he was right, he was still young, and if he was allowed to give orders, he would cause a mess that I don't know what kind of mess it was.
But the people in the Cardinal were very disappointed one by one, especially the cardinal who asked the question, he originally hoped that Geges could delegate power, but Geges put the power in the hands of Uya.
Uya and them weren't all the way.
When Uya heard Geges say this, she was first overjoyed, and then she saw the hateful gazes of the elders of the Cardinals.
It seems that this position is a little difficult to sit in.
However, there is a contract between him and Geges, and he cannot disobey Geges's orders. He just hated a little, hated why this kid was so shrewd. When I first came to the Holy See, it was nothing more than the descendant of a mud-legged man, the remains of a peasant. I don't know what magic God used, so he instilled a lot of knowledge into Geges, making this child's wisdom very high.
There is no old man in the room who can fool him.
"Ahem...... What the Pope meant, do you hear clearly?" Wu Ya doesn't care anymore, those cardinal guys, they can do whatever they like, they are not this young Pope, with their ability as a tenth-level magician, if they want to kill themselves, these elders still have to think about it.
"Wuya, then listen to you. The elders replied coldly.
Geges smiled, the oracle is right, the believers of this god will also be filthy and hungry. In this room, what should have been the holiest place in the Empire now seemed so dirty.
Holy See, there have been no saints for 500 years, right?
"Then I'll say it. Wu Yaman didn't care, took a step forward, and said to the elders around the round table: "The defense power of Cologne City, among the many cities of the Holy See, can only be regarded as middle and upper. Even in the Holy City, it is impossible to rely on ordinary people to deal with that mage. That's the city that flies in the sky.
The secret envoys reported that the blasphemer named Salin could make the city fly tens of thousands of meters into the air and throw stones downward. Think about it, if he doesn't do anything, just collect the boulders and throw them into the city of Cologne, what good way can those knights of the Cardinal House fight back?"
"What do you mean?"
"Cardinal, isn't there still the last power?"
The elders glared angrily, the last strength of the so-called Cardinal's House was 10,000 knights of the Kingdom of God, a truly powerful army. This is the highest combat power on the Sacred Plains.
If the Knights of the Kingdom of God are destroyed, the hole cards in the hands of the Cardinal will be almost gone.
"Combat units that can't fly are meaningless to the city. If you think what I'm saying is wrong, you can refute it. Wu Ya said with a smile. His mind can be described as vicious.
In fact, everyone knows that in the end, everyone can only defend the holy city. Another way is to mobilize all the flying magicians to intercept the Floating City.
If you don't take the initiative to fight, then the floating city will fly everywhere, and the power of the Holy See will not be able to control it at all.
"Since everyone is not opposed, then so be it, send the Knights of the Kingdom of God, contact the Black Prison Island, and ask the Warden to send some more flying jailers, I know that in the deepest part of the Black Prison, there are at least a million such soldiers, and it is good to be able to lend ten thousand. ”
This is Wuya's calculation, Black Prison Island will not covet the position of the Pope, and the borrowed soldiers will hand over the command to Pope Geges. In this case, it is equivalent to transferring the Knights of the Kingdom of God, and then introducing powerful flying jailers.
As for Cologne City, there is no way to keep it.
