03 World Tree

Three days later, the First Expeditionary Force was finally ready and set off soon.

Fifty fleets are united, and if tens of thousands of ships are spread out overwhelmingly, they are densely packed like twinkling stars in the sky, and they cannot be seen at a glance.

If these ships were to be shot one by one, they could smash the planet of the Temple to pieces in an instant, without any pressure.

Standing in the starry sky harbor, as soon as I looked up, I could see the different forms of extremely oppressive fleet groups, so many fleets gathered together, just the visual gave people a terrifying impact.

Like a dense crowd of locusts covering the sky, the cold machinery flickered its lights and stood quietly in the void, and the still picture was like the stars in the sky at night, and there were countless of them

Words such as majestic and magnificent have lost their color in front of these warship groups, pale and weak, and with the poor imagination of human beings, it is completely impossible to imagine what the starry sky is like at this moment...... Terror.

Now, the Starry Sky Harbor was filled with countless exorcists and Templars, and the Holy Emperor stood on a high platform to cheer them on, encourage, and praise them in a deep voice.

The Holy Emperor's speech was not too ornate rhetoric, on the contrary, it was plain, but it seemed to be a heart-booster injected into the hearts of these people, making them all enthusiastic and emotional, and the blood vessels in their bodies were about to burst out, and the green tendons ran through the whole body like a dragon.

Even without such a thing as doping, these people got excited.

I believe that even if the big war starts, this group of people will not flinch and retreat, and it is estimated that they will summon up the courage of their whole body and shout long live the Holy Emperor or something, so as to die generously.

I've thought of religionists as crazy people from here, and even now, I'm sure of that.

"Now, let's go, our warriors, our heroes. ”

When the Holy Emperor ended with these words, countless people roared excitedly.

"We are going forward, we will not retreat, we are ahead, there is no opponent!"

The crowd of hundreds of thousands of people was excited, and the low and uniform voice echoed in the void like muffled thunder, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, cutting through the darkness, breaking through the depression, and lingering in this space for a long time.

Thus, the pledge meeting officially came to an end.

On the high platform, I stood next to the Holy Emperor, looked straight down, and clearly saw the positions of Artoria and Charlotte and others, they were standing near the middle, surrounded by all female surnames, although they were not as crazy as the others, but they were also very excited, clenched their fists and waved them in the air.

This group of guys is hopeless.

I sighed involuntarily, retracted my gaze, and turned my head to glance at the port, now that so many people are going to extinguish the light meeting, how many people will spill blood in the starry sky, how many people will fall into the void, how many people can be promoted through meritorious service, and how many people will retire in despair.

How many of them can come back alive?

When I asked the Holy Emperor this question, the Holy Emperor was also silent, and after half a ring, he said bitterly: "They are all my children, and I hope they can all come back alive, all we can do is to protect their lives as much as possible, that's all." ”

In other words, even the Holy Emperor could not predict how many people would die in this war.

It was a huge war, and although it was the first war provoked by the Radiant Council, it had been hundreds of years since the Temple had made such a big move.

Everyone knows that this battle, whether it was a victory or a defeat, will be recorded in the history of the temple, and it will remain for hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of years later, and it has the most profound meaning.

After the formation of the First Expeditionary Force and its departure, I was idle.

Actually, I was very inclined to set out with the First Expeditionary Force, but the Holy Emperor kept me behind, saying that he was commanding the Second Expeditionary Force to me.

To tell the truth, it took nearly a month just to form the First Expeditionary Force, and if the Second Expeditionary Force was formed, I don't know how long it would take, but a week later, the Holy Emperor sent a letter, saying that the Second Expeditionary Force was ready, and asked me to accept it.

I hurriedly felt the huge square in front of the Holy Emperor Hall, and suddenly found a group of dense exorcists standing on the square, about 10,000 or so, neatly divided into ten brigades, forming a rectangular phalanx.

The Holy Emperor was standing in front of this group of people, and when he saw me hurrying over, he beckoned me to walk over.

"Holy Emperor!" I called out respectfully.

"This is the Second Expeditionary Force, Yan Xiaobei, I handed them over to you. ”

The Holy Emperor pointed to the 10,000 people in front of him and said, "The Second Expeditionary Force has a total of 10,000 people, divided into ten brigades, each with a captain and a deputy captain, it is the most elite combat force of the Temple, and it is also an indestructible treasure sword, if it is used well, there is no problem in destroying the Radiance Council." ”

I didn't think so at first, but when I swept past the so-called Second Expeditionary Force, my pupils suddenly contracted violently.

This so-called Second Expeditionary Force, everyone actually wore a sword and shield insignia on their chests.

In the temple, this coat of arms has a huge meaning.

They are the sword of the Temple, they are the shield of the Temple, and they are the last guardians of the Temple.

Zealot!!

Legend has it that he does not eat or drink, maintains an absolute fanaticism for God, no longer accepts holy power all the time, uses holy power to wash his body, maintains the function of the body, and one year of penance is worth ten years of penance for others, and one by one uses extreme methods to maintain his fanatical faith.

I remember when I first came to this world, I also used the method of fanatic penance, and I almost died.

These people standing in front of me now are the true fanatics, the most elite combat power of the Temple, and I can feel that each of them is emitting powerful fluctuations of holy power in their bodies.

Each of them has a strength that is not inferior to that of a high-ranking apostle, and the leading captains, vice captains, all have a strength comparable to that of a peak apostle.

Pull one out at random, and it won't be much inferior to Lahuana.

No wonder the Holy Emperor is so confident, if it is used well, it will not be a problem to destroy the Radiance Council.

Even all the apostles of the Radiance Conference may not have 10,000 combined, let alone 10,000 high-ranking apostles.

The acceptance of the Second Expeditionary Force went well, and there were no long-eyed that jumped out to question my abilities or anything, in fact they were fanatics loyal to the Temple, and even if the leader was an ordinary person, they would not frown.

For me, the chief, the leader, they accepted it very easily and maintained a certain amount of respect.

Having received the group, I asked the Holy Emperor, "When are we leaving?"

The Holy Emperor replied, "Anytime, anywhere. ”

I nodded thoughtfully and said to the group, "Give you three days to rest and recuperate, and then gather at the Star Harbor in three days, and we'll set off immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

The ten captains nodded at the same time, leading their troops to disband, and everyone left in an orderly manner, without a chaotic scene of scattering.

"Is there anything else you need?" the Holy Emperor asked me.

"No, but there's one more thing I need to do before I go?"

"What?"

"I want to see the World Tree!"

......

CC once told me that the temple was the world tree that once absorbed a drop of God's blood, which is why it has lived so demonically for millions of years.

For millions of years, the World Tree has never withered, it has always maintained a state of vitality, and it will grow a little taller every year, and today the altitude has exceeded 50,000 meters, and Everest is simply weak compared to it.

The World Tree covers almost one-third of the planet, and its roots alone are rooted near the core, and its smallest branch is thicker than any skyscraper on Earth.

Humans are inferior to ants in front of it.

Even a single leaf is a little larger than a baby that is born.

Now, I am standing at the foot of the World Tree, looking at this huge mountain-like tree, and the seeds of the World Tree in my heart are becoming hotter and hotter, as if I am cheering and rejoicing...... The endless holy power roared and boiled, as if it was about to turn the sky upside down, and there was a mutation that I didn't know.

"I finally saw you, my child!"

The World Tree suddenly became far away, and endless golden light rained down one after another, and in the light, an illusory but beautiful long-haired woman appeared.

The long green hair reaches to the heels, and the green eyes contain countless tenderness and vitality.

"My child, what's your name?"

"Yan Xiaobei!" As if asked by my mother, it was a kind of attraction that transcended the blood and came from the soul, and I couldn't help but say my name.

"Yan Xiaobei, what a good name, my child!"

The beautiful woman smiled gracefully, put her arms around my neck, and hugged me tightly.

"Anyway, why did I become your child? "I struggled a few times and found that the other party seemed illusory, but his strength surpassed me I don't know how many times, so I had to give up.

"That's for you, my child?"

"Ask me?"

"That's right, ask you here. She pointed to my heart, "You don't have a human heart here, it's my seed, so you're my child." ”

"Even so, it still feels very weird, a fairy of the sacred tree is my mother or something. ”

"Are you disgusted with me?"

"How is that possible!" I laughed, "I just feel weird to have an extra mother all of a sudden." ”

"But you are indeed my seed here!"

"It's your seed, yes, but it's still a bit weird to call the child, so let's change it. ”

"So...... How, husband?" the World Tree Elf asked tentatively.

"It's still a kid, well, I like this!"
