Chapter 705: Atrocities (I)
γ3rd Updateγ
Salin was a little unhappy because he hadn't thought about dominating the continent, he already had the half-plane of Rafal, a place without gods and restraints. After dealing with the matter of the goddess Myers, he didn't bother to stay on the continent of Myers.
He was a mage, and he didn't want to be an emperor, but the others didn't seem to understand this, and thought they would conquer the entire continent. This is not his ideal, in essence, he is still the same Salin as he was at the beginning, and it is enough to have a bite to eat and be able to practice magic.
I was too lazy to fight for things, these people were bloody, I originally thought that the iron-blooded Grand Duke was still a person with personality, but now it seems that they are all the same.
Hurry up and resurrect the goddess, Salin thought of this, sped up his speed, and flew towards the floating city.
Raphael was closest to Salin, and she whispered in the back, "Your troubles are easy to solve, my lord." β
"How to fix it?"
"Kill Rex, and you'll be left alone. β
"Haha" Salin laughed and said, "I am a human being, and my troubles are different from those of the gods. β
"Oh. The corners of Raphael's mouth curled, and she knew that her solution was not the way, but Saleen listened to her words, and her mood suddenly improved.
Raphael's words were not funny, and Saleen was gradually in a bad mood, indeed because of Rex. He now has great power, but he has to leave Rex here alone to deal with a bunch of people in the Golden Plains. I just vented it, and I just supported Rex, so that these people can do things in the future, and think about today.
As soon as Raphael said this, Salin suddenly understood. I am not a god, and it is normal to have these troubles. What would the teacher do? When the strength is insufficient, improve the strength, and when the strength is almost enough, find the enemy to settle the score. How simple is that? Do you still need to sigh?
After figuring it out, Salin went to the Floating City and changed his order. He doesn't go to the Holy City, but to fight his way into the Tangulas Empire.
The armament of the Tanguras Empire itself is not too strong, and it is inferior to Qin Yin. However, with the addition of the Holy See's knights and inquisitions, the number of troops was ten times that of Qin Yin. The gap in equipment can also be made up by numbers.
Salin originally wanted to directly attack the core target and leave the others alone, but now he suddenly figured out that he was just trying to make the Holy See uncomfortable, not really going to destroy the Holy City.
Salin's own grasp is not too great, in the Holy City, there must be powerful and incomparable artifacts, and they are used by many people, and they cannot be carried.
It was the city chosen by the Lord of Light himself, and if it were destroyed, it would make all believers lose their dreams.
However, in this case, there is a suspicion of cheating, and killing all the way through will attract countless believers to apologetic.
Floating City will not take much effort to deal with ordinary cities. Those who dare to defend the religion are all die-hard believers, and there is nothing to regret when they are killed.
Salin's level gradually increased, and he didn't take this kind of life and death matter too seriously.
The floating city went all the way to the west, passing through the sky over Garulan, Salin specially looked down, the Principality of Garudan was devastated, this was once a very prosperous principality on the mainland, the circulation of goods in various places, most of them had to pass through here, there used to be the most post stations, the most commercial houses, car dealers, and countless merchants running around.
Now, there is nothing left, only burned villages, crops and weeds that no one harvests mixed together.
The city was not intact at all, and the walls that the Holy See had repaired were destroyed again in the counterattack of the Qin Yin.
When the Holy See came back, it had to be rebuilt, several times. There is no longer any life here. War is something more terrible than magic, destroying the roots of people in their homeland.
The fastest speed of the flight in the floating city is more than 500 miles, but the proportion of consumption is more than ten times that of ordinary flight, and the normal flight speed is more than 200 miles.
Salin simply flew at a speed of two hundred miles, and the behemoth of the Floating City swept high in the air, and went straight to the first target, the Guro of the Divine Grace Principality.
The area of the Principality of Divine Grace is very small, and among the four principalities, it can only be maintained by the Tangulas Empire. But several battles did not burn into the territory of the Principality of Divine Grace, the floating city of Sarin, and when he came to Gulo, Gulo didn't even react to be attacked.
Sarin's floating city, pressed down tightly, was only a little more than a thousand meters above the ground. At this altitude, the Floating City doesn't need to waste any energy, just attack with all its might.
The Floating City is thirty-six miles long, and ordinary cities are not so big, even the Holy Rock City is inferior.
The Metatrin of Sareen was less than ten miles long and wide, and the thirty-six miles of the great city blocked the daylight, as if night had fallen in advance. Below the Floating City, there is no metal tower for a long time, replaced by a moving magic cannon.
Salin calculated in the core of the Floating City, the Elemental Magic Tower, that there were twelve churches in this Gulo, and the protection of each church was not worth mentioning. The city was also a medium-sized city, with a large number of garrisons, but most of them were Papal troops who had withdrawn from Gallauland, so the city was not in chaos.
Attack on twelve churches
Salin gave the order.
At a distance of just over a thousand meters, the magic cannon was activated at full strength. Only the Magic Tower can resist it, and it depends on how many Magic Cores are stored in the Magic Tower. Attacking is always easier than defending and consuming less than defending. The Holy See's divine art is known as the strongest defense, and it also depends on what the scene is.
The Magic Tower is much more powerful than the church, and when the magicians in the church discovered the Floating City, they had already made preparations and activated the divine runes in the church.
After the first round of attacks on the Floating City, only one of the twelve churches in the city remained.
It was guarded by the bishop of the city, a city with a population of more than 100,000 and a cardinal. It's just that this ninth-level cardinal, how could he withstand the second round of attacks.
The demon controller of the Floating City quickly calculated the defensive power of the Divine Rune Array in this church, added ten magic cannons, and carried out a second round of attacks.
The dome of the church crumbled, and the believers inside fled with tears and shouts.
The cardinal's face turned pale, he walked out of the church, pointed to the floating city in the sky, and said, "Mage, why"
"No, I'm just going to destroy the Holy See. Salin's voice came from the air, and the whole city could hear it clearly. This is the Principality of Divine Grace, and most of the people are believers.
A child of six or seven years old ran to the cardinal, looked up at the floating city and shouted, "Are you devils, who are coming to destroy our faith?"
"No, we're just human beings, to take back our dignity. β
"Dignity?"
"Yes, dignity, dignity cannot be given. Salin replied.
"If I don't give up my faith, will you kill me?" the child asked in a childish voice.
"I only kill people who are capable of fighting. Salin replied.
The boy turned back to the cardinal and said, "My lord, let me be with you, and the devil will not attack you." β
"If I were the devil, I would lie. Salin's words froze the child. He wants to protect the bishop he respects, but if he believes in the devil, he is falling, and if he doesn't, the devil will do something to the bishop whether he is there or not.
"How about it, are you going to kill yourself, or do you want that kid to bury you?" Salin's voice was indifferent, released through the thunderous shock, and his tone was so calm that no one would doubt his words.
"If you commit suicide, your soul will not be able to go to heaven. I know who you are, at least for now, you're not going to kill this kid. The cardinal whispered, "But the people around you will." β
He sighed and fell limply. He didn't want to implicate this child, if the person talking above was Salin, he would let this child go because of his actions.
Seeing the cardinal commit suicide, Salin was stunned for a moment, and then said to Raphael: "Go and pick up that child, don't let people hurt." β
He didn't expect that the cardinal would really commit suicide in order to protect a child. In the canons of the Holy See, the soul of a person who commits suicide will go to purgatory.
"Don't you save his soul?" Raphael asked.
"If what the Lord of Light says is true, then I will take a trip to his purgatory and see those wretched souls. β
Raphael spread her wings and flew to the destroyed church, the magic cannon in the sky, no longer attacking here, but attacking the army assembled in the city.
This is an unfair battle, and although the consumption of magic cannons is huge, there will be no casualties. It stands to reason that killing a squad of soldiers requires the consumption of a complete mid-level magic core, which is indeed a waste.
Salin didn't mind this waste, only the power that shook the hearts of the people would make the undetermined believers rebel against the gods.
If you destroy it along the way, a large number of believers will convert.
But there will also be more believers who will become firm in their faith, and this will be a good opportunity for them to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Saleen will not give these recalcitrant people any chance, whether it is the Thunder Dragon Spear or the Thunder and Lightning Realm, they can hurt the soul. A broken soul cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, and at most it can become a pest.
Destroying the church and killing some of the soldiers who tried to rally it, Salin rode away on the Floating City.
The next target, only a hundred miles, can be reached in half an hour.
It is a small town with a population of less than 10,000 and only one church. The church was built magnificently, with pointed towers plated with gold.
"It seems that the faith is quite strong. Salin seemed to laugh and laugh at himself, and more than twenty magic cannons bombarded at the same time, and the church collapsed in the light of magic.
In such a small place, even if there is a history, there will not be any strong people stationed. It's really quite convenient to destroy.
It turned out that Salin did not dare to do this because he was afraid of retaliation from the Holy See. Now he was not afraid, Metatrin City was as solid as a rock, and his cronies and relatives had all moved to the half-plane.
No matter how angry the people of the Holy See were, they could not fight back.
