Chapter 487: This Is the Devil's Temptation, It's a Question of the Lord!
"Damn, these damned wizards, demons' minions, they deserve to be sent to hell!"
At the top of the church, Cardinal Maude looked at the huge warplanes that swept over the city as if they were showing off their might, and his heart was full of anger.
The priests and bishops in the church also looked indignant, which was tantamount to being slapped in the face, but there was nothing they could do.
Because the speed of this thing was so fast, and its flexibility was unimaginable, no kind of magic they mastered could knock it down from a distance of thousands of meters.
Seeing that the fighter plane had flown out of the city, Maude had to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice. "Can you see what it just thrown?"
At the moment when Lydia swooped down, Maud thought the city was going to be finished, but to the surprise of all of them, it didn't seem like they were coming to attack.
"Paper, like?" One of the bishops said uncertainly.
Could it be that it is tainted with some plague or curse spell?
At this moment, several attendants ran in from outside in a panic, holding dozens of leaflets in their hands, and said in a trembling tone. "Cardinal, I think you might need to take a look at this!"
Maude couldn't help frowning, and a bad premonition had risen in his heart, so he immediately took a copy and looked at it.
The rest of the bishops were no exception, and when they saw the above content clearly, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their minds.
The whole leaflet is divided into two sides.
The front is for the poor, and it advertises the changes in the City of Oil, in order to break the Church's rumors about the sorcerers spreading the end times.
The reverse side is intended for the local nobles, wealthy merchants, and clergy, and elaborates on the results of several wars between the Magic Kingdom and the Empire.
"How is that possible? Master Joshua and Master Gustav were both captured by wizards......"
"The two Holy Maidens were killed in battle, and several crusade armies were all destroyed, all over, all over......"
The whole church exploded suddenly, and the priests and bishops present had a look of horror and disbelief.
In order to avoid panic, the church has greatly concealed the losses of several wars, especially the information that Joshua and Gustav were captured and the two saints were killed in battle, but now they are being shaken out by this leaflet!
A few lines of text are certainly not enough to cause such an uproar, but the author of the leaflet, Rohr, has thoughtfully accompanied it with many photos.
A large number of captured clergymen undergoing reforms, a battlefield full of artillery craters, and a close-up of Gustav, the commander of the most critical Divine Punishment Army!
The picture was so real, like a portrayal of reality, that the priests and bishops present were shaken.
"That's enough, it's just a trick orchestrated by the minions of the evil gods!" Maude's loud voice echoed through the church, pulling the clergy back from their panic, but his wrist holding the leaflet trembled slightly.
As a cardinal, Maude naturally knows more than the rest of the bishops and priests, so it is extremely clear that the above description is most likely true.
"Yes, it's ridiculous, and it says that magic is also a type of magic? Was the Great Lord a Sorcerer? The tall and thin bishop also sneered in agreement.
These words were quickly accepted by everyone, and the clergy present came to their senses, and felt more and more that these were all lies made up by the wizards in an attempt to shake their faith, and their vicious intentions could be seen.
The invective and rebuke resounded in the church, but some of the bishops did not participate in it, because they found that the leaflet gave a way to verify it, and it was extremely simple!
According to Lynn's reasoning, magic energy is a special kind of magic, so since it is magic, it means that the clergy can also perform magic!
So at the end of the leaflet, Rohr directly gave five of the simplest one-ring basic spell models, which even wizard apprentices could learn.
For the bishops, it can be said that they have hands.
In other words, as long as they want to, they can immediately verify whether the magic is magic or not, and they can give the answer on the spot......
The truth was in front of them, but the bishops hesitated, and no one dared to try.
Cardinal Maude obviously saw this as well, his face changed, and he couldn't help but think of the iron rules within the church.
That is, never touch, view, or look at the magic notes of wizards!
It is said to contain the knowledge of the devil, and many clergy who have studied the notes in depth tend to become insane, hysterical, and even turn their backs on the faith of the Lord!
Even a few cardinals did not escape.
In the past, Maud could not understand why, but felt that the power of the devil was too strong for even the devout followers of the Lord to resist its erosion.
But now another thought involuntarily popped up in his mind, is it possible that those people understood the above research notes and then used magic?
The thought was like a devil in Maude's heart, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to test whether he could use magic according to the magic model given on the flyer, so as to prove that it was all a lie of the wizards......
Because as a believer in the Lord, you can never use the power of the devil yourself!
It wasn't until the last moment that Maud suddenly came to her senses and stopped what she was doing.
No, no, it's the temptation of the devil, it's a question of the Lord!
The firm belief in the goddess of the moon made Maude break free from confusion and doubt, and he was already shocked into a cold sweat behind his back.
I almost fell into the trap of the wizards, and if these spells were the activation of some kind of curse, it would be over.
"Send me at once to collect and burn all the leaflets scattered in the city, and if anyone dares to hide or discuss the contents of the pages, regardless of their identity, they will be treated as followers of evil demons!" Maude's eyes glared coldly at everyone present.
"Yes, Maude-sama!"
The priests and bishops also suppressed their doubts in their hearts, and hurriedly led people out of the church and collected the leaflets.
But on the leaflet written in black and white, the deliberately enlarged and bold headline seemed to mock the powerless behavior of the people.
Because it was already too late, thousands of people in the territory of Badas picked up the leaflets on the ground.
Among them, there were poor people who could not read a single word, nobles and wealthy merchants, and guards guarding the city......
In any case, the blockade of the news has become an impossible thing to do, and a similar scene is playing out in almost every city in the kingdom!
The truth...... You can't kill it!
……
On the other side, in the sky on the border of the Empire, Lydia has finished dropping flyers in three cities, and is hurrying to the final location of this trip, the Holy City!
The journey was extremely smooth, which made Lynn feel a little more at ease.
No one knows the importance of controlling public opinion better than him, not to mention that what they expose is the truth, even if it is false, under the bombardment of propaganda again and again, it can shake the minds of some people.
I just don't know if the bishops of those churches will experiment with the method he gave......
The corners of Lynn's mouth curled slightly, but they quickly retracted.
Because ahead, the magnificent holy city is already in sight.
"I didn't expect there to be such a big city in the empire!" A look of surprise appeared on Lynn's face.
From a distance, the walls of the Holy City are 30 meters high, covering an area of more than 100 square kilometers.
Just like the previous report of the spies, the entire city was shrouded in the projection of the Kingdom of God, and only a huge statue could be vaguely seen standing in the center of the city, on which various strange patterns were drawn, and a unique power circulated on it.
A statue of Ella?
Lynn thought so, and then spoke. "Lower the height, prepare to dive, open the shield!"
Lydia nodded, and didn't ask why, and immediately did so.
The fighter plane soon rushed downward at an angle, and its speed increased to more than 300 kilometers, and the incomparably strong wind continued to blow on its body, as sharp as a blade.
As the distance got closer, the melodious chants began to ring in my ears......
Lynn took out a bronze ball from the fighter plane and aimed it at the huge statue, ready to test the protection level of the Holy City.
Thunderbolts soon appeared around the body, and after accumulating momentum for about three seconds, the copper ball flew out rapidly under the impetus of electromagnetic force.
It's extremely fast!
The huge sonic boom made the entire fighter plane shake for a moment, and Lydia endured the buzzing sensation of her head, holding the joystick so as not to let the fighter plane risk capsizing.
Under Lynn's gaze, a copper ball with more than fifteen times the speed of sound flew straight towards the Holy City.
It took only 0.3 seconds to cross the distance of 1,500 meters!
However, about three hundred meters away from the Holy City, the copper ball that was speeding by like a red streamer suddenly achieved an extremely strange obtuse turn without any slowdown.
It's like the refraction of light rays that are shot into water.
But the difference is that the flight path of the copper ball is actually curved, and if there is no interference, it will only fly over the Holy City.
Lynn understood that this was not a sudden change in the direction of the copper ball's flight, but that the space outside the Holy City had been distorted, which was somewhat similar to his deflection force field, which would direct the attack in other directions.
I have to test it again.
Lynn's face remained unchanged and he spoke slowly. "Boom!"
The copper balls that were speeding at extremely fast speed immediately exploded, and countless copper blocks shot in all directions, but their flight paths were extremely strange, even upside down, making people's scalps tingle.
The good news is that this shift is not absolute, and if the curvature of space can be calculated, it may not be impossible to achieve a successful strike with sufficient speed.
It is like a skilled fisherman, holding a steel fork in his hand, relying on his skillful skills to stab the swimming fish in the water at an angle that seems impossible to hit from the outside world......
For example, because of the explosion, a few copper blocks scattered in all directions successfully crossed the force field protection and entered the range of the Holy City, but they were all wiped out in less than a fraction of a second, if it weren't for Lynn's good eyesight and concentration enough, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Obviously, the deflection force field that covers the entire Holy City is only the first layer of protection.
If you use the Great Nuclear Explosion Technique here, the power will be greatly reduced by the force field magic, and then the remaining energy and shock wave will also be reduced layer by layer, and it is difficult to say how much effect it can exert.
It seems that after two nuclear explosions at different levels, [Ella] has also summed up some ways to deal with it.
Lynn is not surprised by this, for wizards, in addition to the real realm gap, the level of knowledge and the importance of magic information are also particularly important!
For enemies of the same level, only a new spell that is launched for the first time can have a surprising effect.
Lynn frowned and pondered a solution to the crack.
The first is, of course, to use force field magic to break the protection, or to return the distorted space to its original state, but with such a large range of divine arts, nine times out of ten, it is the handiwork of the [Ella] deity, and it is extremely difficult to crack it in reverse alone.
When Haroff and Aurora are promoted, they can give it a try with the strength of the four.
The second is to vigorously produce a miracle and bombard it directly with a hydrogen explosion of millions or tens of millions of equivalents, so that even one thousandth of the energy that escapes into it can cause devastating damage!
I just don't know if the close-up [Final-Atomic Breath] has any effect......
Lynn thought of several plans in an instant, but before he could continue to think about it, a sense of danger for no reason came to his mind, almost subconsciously, Lynn deflected his arm and slammed the steering wheel of the fighter jet.
The fighter plane, which was diving towards the Holy City at maximum speed, immediately lost its balance and flipped nearly ninety degrees, and Lydia, as the pilot, was so frightened that she was about to ask questions.
Before that, an incomparably strong beam of light shot out from inside the Holy City, and the target was the flying warplane!
Originally, it was supposed to be facing the cockpit, but due to the deflection of the fighter, it hit the tail directly, leaving an extremely deep scratch on the protective layer made by Mithril, and cutting the steel layer below!
Lydia turned pale with fright, and her mouth had not even had time to close.
Only then did Lynn understand where the sense of crisis in her heart came from, it should be someone using spotlight magic below.
"Have you even learned how to do lasers? It seems that she is not in vain in the city of fire and oil. Lynn muttered to herself, but then realized that it was probably just a copy, an extreme version of the spotlight reflection.
Otherwise, even at such a distance, with the power of the fifth-level laser, the tail of the fighter will be cut off instantly, rather than just cutting the protective layer like this......
