Chapter Seventy-One: The Crisis of the Temple of Life
"Nickname Outside!"
"Zemas, the capital of Britain, has been attacked by a mysterious necromancer!
"At the time of crisis, the royal garrison cooperates with the Sun Temple to turn the tide!
Titles like these shouted out from the mouths of countless newsboys, and passed frantically in the streets and alleys, and it was obvious that this was another good thing done by the Harpists League, and what happened in the morning spread to most of the countries of the Ferron Continent in the afternoon! Countless people's eyes were attracted and they paid for newspapers!
Especially the people who are in Zemas, because at this time Zemas has been under martial law in the whole city, and they are not allowed to enter or leave, and people who don't know the situation outside will naturally buy newspapers to understand the situation!
"This alliance of harpists can do business, and they can be people, but the awareness of anti-advertising is a little worse!" Don Quixote naturally bought a newspaper, although he did not return to the city last night, but to be honest, it was just a city wall, and it was easy for him to sneak in!
Although the report in the newspaper said that Britain suffered heavy casualties, it was not exaggerated, and I believe that with the help of this newspaper, the citizens of Zemas City will be able to understand the situation in real time, at least there will be no panic, which will indirectly help the ruler, so his newspaper will not be banned!
What's more, the rhetoric in it not only did not lose the face of the British royal family, but also cleverly hid the death of many sacrifices in the Temple of Life! The only regret is that the Sun Temple was advertised for free, just like the last time the air conditioner was used, obviously the people in the world of Feron do not have the concept of advertising yet!
Don Quixote was also present at that time, but as an onlooker who didn't know the truth, he didn't intervene, and to be honest, in the face of such a huge necromantic army, he was like a small pebble thrown into the water, and he disappeared in an instant, and it would have no effect!
Although he was some distance away from the city wall, this did not prevent him from seeing the situation clearly, so he did not say a word that should be said and not said in this newspaper, and even deliberately downplayed it! "I guess this may be one of the reasons why this organization can stand tall on the road, and it is really an organization that understands current affairs!"
"Wait," Don Quixote, who had seen the newspaper at the end, silently retracted the sentence just now, and narrowed his eyes deeply!
Because the last paragraph clearly reads, "According to the latest news, the commander of the Zemas garrison has upgraded this incident to the war level! All steam mechs and heavy armored cavalry are ready!" And because this is the capital, in order to make sure that in case, he has already applied for support from the other four main cities as the garrison chief, including the most prosperous and resourceful Araschi City in Britain, but the railroad tracks that were demolished a few days ago blocked the support from Araskey City, so will there be any connection between the two?"
The sun is warm, but the heat is unbearable, and if the sunlight is gathered together with a magnifying glass, it can even cause a fire!
At this time, outside the southern city wall of Zemas, the dense necromancers were gone, replaced by scorched earth all over the ground, and there was no grass! Naturally, this is the power of the sungod mirror that Merlin said, as he guessed, the endless necromancers were all turned into ashes after just a few trips back and forth, as if the extremely high spell resistance of those necromancers did not exist, obviously this proves the difference between magic and spells, it should be two different qualities of energy!
But it seems that the situation is under control, but Merlin has his own worries, although the power of the sun god mirror is huge, but like the fort in later generations, it is not convenient to move, not to mention, it also needs a large number of sun temple personnel to pray together, in order to have such power, it is naturally invincible for defense, but if you want to rely on this to track down the location of the necromancer, it is a little more than enough and not enough!
After all, the necromancer won't wait for you to assemble a fort under his nose, and now there is only one side of the South City Gate, if that necromancer is smart enough, he will definitely reorganize the Necromantic Legion next, even if it is far away, he will attack from several other city gates.
At this moment, Merlin had the heart to think about when Britain provoked such a powerful necromancer, and he also saw the last conjecture in the newspaper, but to be honest, he didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with that mage, that beginner mage would not have such a strong strength and make so many necromancers!
As for cooperation, it's even more impossible, the two people's codes of conduct are too different, if he is really the kind of mage who kills cold-blooded, Olena and Kyle will definitely not come back alive!
However, although this necromancer is coming for Britain, it is obvious that he may not have calculated it himself, and his necromancy is because of such a perverted caste that can devour the life god, and it also makes him provoke a force that should not be provoked! That's right, that is the Temple of Life.
The entire continent knows that the Temple of Life is the kind of organization with moderate doctrine, but what few people know is that the Temple of Life will become more domineering than the Temple of the Sun in the face of this kind of chaotic and disorderly, wanton killing of life, that is absolutely to kill them all, leaving no trouble!
Especially in Zemas, the priestess of the Temple of Life is almost half dead! No matter how mild the teachings of the Temple of Life are, this is a naked slap in the face, or a slap in the face of a true god! So at this moment, without the order of Arthur Pendrey, all Merlin has to do is to hold the main city, not let the necromancers in, and fully cooperate with the upcoming wrath of the gods!
In the Yaraski Temple of Life, the chief of the Templar Yulia was speaking in the hall, "I think you also know about the situation of Zemas, because that group of necromancers can devour the life god, even if the sacrifice goes, it is useless, the chief priest of Zemas only asks us to send the Templar Knights over to help!" Therefore, all the mid-level and above-intermediate Templars in the Yalaski Temple of Life, I will send a part to Zemath and follow the command of the Templar of Zemas, to avenge our relatives, our sisters, and those who are also God's people!"
"But," Yulia paused when she said this, "because of the necromancy we are facing this time, the effect of our magic will be greatly reduced, so the danger will increase exponentially, I decided to use the fairest way, draw lots! Those who draw red lots go to Zemas, and those who draw white ones stay in the Patron Temple!
"Understood!"
"We cherish life and let the flowers bloom more brilliantly! We are not afraid of death, because the flowers will wither after all!" The uniform slogan resounded throughout the temple, obviously Yulia was making the final mobilization, and she also knew that these Templars in front of her had basically never experienced such a formation, and I don't know how many of them would come back alive this time!
However, then Yulia's somewhat unbearable expression became resolute, this kind of sacrifice is also necessary, it seems that it is just a necromancer to take revenge on the British Empire, but this necromancer who can devour the power of life, the most threatening is the Temple of Life, if someone has a heart to spread this kind of necromancer to the entire continent, no matter who ultimately benefits, it is the Temple of Life that is damaged, and when you are not able to perform your responsibilities well, your followers will be lost.
She also read the newspaper, although the name of the Temple of Life did not appear in the newspaper, but it was as if someone had slapped her severely, a few simple words, the Sun Temple turned the tide, and the believers of the Sun Temple increased at a geometric speed, and this was the biggest threat to the Temple of Life! Without the power of faith, even the true gods would fall into a deep sleep!
So, the same situation is not just happening in Zemas, but also in several other cities in Britain! It is certain that in a day at most, more than 100 Templars will arrive in Zemmas to help fight the necromancy and investigate the necromancer behind it!
In the Yaraski Sun Temple, Rantus Farrell was talking to a person in a secret room, "There is a pseudo-high-ranking knight in the Temple of Life, in his early twenties, I don't need to say more about the rest!"
"It's not proper, it's easy to provoke a war between the two forces!" A man in a scarlet robe sitting opposite him raised his head slightly, his voice was very calm, there was no ups and downs, and there was no respect, it seemed that the person in front of him was not an archbishop, obviously that person should not be his subordinate, otherwise he would not have spoken to Lantes Farrell in this tone.
"Don't worry," Lantes Farrell calmly tapped his finger on the table as if he had thought of it a long time ago, "You should know about the appearance of the necromancer in Zemas, and I don't know what the necromancer is, it can be said that more than a hundred of the life temple sacrifices that specialize in carving necromancy have died!
"My people have already secretly manipulated them, and now, if there is no accident, the target person has already followed the Knights of the Temple of Life to Zemas! At that time, as long as they use the name of necromancy, I don't think there will be any problem! You know, any genius may bring countless believers to them in the future, and the number of believers is certain, and if there are more of them, then we will have less, right!"
Rantus Farrell's words were slow, but there was nothing to refute, and the man thought for a moment and nodded, obviously agreeing with Rantus Farrell's plan, "Do you need to report this matter to Bishop Zemas?"
"No, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, no one dares to guarantee that there is no gap in the Temple of Life in Zemas's Sun Temple, like you said, if this matter is really leaked, it will really cause a war of faith!"
Without superfluous nonsense, the man picked up the materials on the table and turned to leave!
"These damned Divine Punishment Knights, it's so hard to give them every order," said Rantus Farrell, stretching and leaving the chamber with him.
Obviously, the Knights of Divine Punishment he spoke of were the organizations of the Sun Temple dedicated to performing some shady things, this group of organizations was somewhat similar to the Inquisition of Christianity on Earth, but they were on the same level as the archbishop, and if they thought that the archbishop's task was not in the interests of the temple, then they had the right to refuse to carry it out!
That's why Lantes Farrell would rather take the risk of his undercover exposure than transfer Kyle to Zemas, obviously, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you miss it, it won't be so easy to get rid of this genius in the name of it!
