Chapter 493: When Faith Becomes a Burden

Although Lake Lémans is part of the territory of the Duchy of Burgundy, it is in fact an infinitely close to the Triple Strip.

It is difficult to get into the area of Lake Lémans from the north, because even at the foot of the Alps, it is already a plateau.

Even from the relatively simple south-west side, it is necessary to climb the junction of the Jura and the Alps.

Therefore, the Duchy of Burgundy did not have a very strong control over this place.

However, even if the control is not strong, even if there are many people living around Lake Léman, Zhu Zhanyan still has no intention of moving here.

He needed someone to get the word out about what was going on here.

……

The southwest side of Lake Léman.

Because this is the birthplace of the Rhône River and the most convenient place to get around, people often live here.

It was originally a very peaceful place, and it is said that the war in eastern Europe for more than two years did not affect half of the country, and even the Hundred Years War between Britain and France in Western Europe did not affect this place.

Here, it seems to be the best choice for hermits to retreat.

However, these two days at Lake Léman were not peaceful.

Lake Lémans is rich in produce, and the catch has always been an important catch for the people around it, but in the last two days, fishermen have been afraid to go into the lake to fish.

Because, they found that the lake water was faintly red, and although the catch in the past was not too large to eat, it was still relatively good.

But in recent days, the catch has been decreasing day by day, as if the fish have disappeared.

The faintly reddened waters of the lake, the dwindling catch, and the foolish people thought that they had sinned against the gods, causing their lord to stop sheltering them.

In desperation, they began to sacrifice in order to restore the peace of Lake Léman.

It's just that what they don't know is that no matter how much they sacrifice, it won't help.

East side of Lake Léman.

Unlike the relatively gentle terrain on the western side, the terrain is like a sudden burst after a short buffer, and it is here that Mont Blanc rises from the ground, and its 4,810 meters above sea level makes it the highest peak in the Alps.

The axe-and-knife topography creates a majestic natural landscape, on a small platform, with a cliff more than ten meters high on the north side, Lake Léman below, and Mont Blanc on the south side standing like a canopy.

On this small platform, wooden shelves were erected around the perimeter, and this is where the mutation of Lake Lémans comes from.

"This is the last batch, right?" Zhu Zhanyan looked at the world's prince guards who were like machines, and said lightly.

"Back to His Royal Highness! Yes! Zhu Ling bowed his head in response.

"How do you two feel?" As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan turned his head and looked at Sigismund and Eugene IV behind him.

For more than ten days since the start of their camp not far below, Sigismund and Eugene IV watched as their former subjects cut down trees under the command of the Ming army, build the shelves in front of them, and then fill them in batches.

As for how to fill it? This is Zhu Zhanyan's best old business.

Tsukiyo view.

120,000 people were divided into ten batches, starting from the young and strong, to the end of the old and young, more than 10,000 of the more than 120,000 people were left behind, and the rest were all filled into this shelf.

The result is a spectacular and striking building.

Why does Lake Lémans change? The reason is that this is no longer soil, and the bottom is full of hard rocks, and the blood of more than 100,000 people cannot penetrate into the mountain, and finally flows down the cliff into Lake Léman.

The water is red because of blood.

The fish disappeared because they were attracted to blood.

All this, Sigismund and Eugene IV witnessed with their own eyes.

They have witnessed the transformation of this Jingguan from existence to none, and then to perfection, and also witnessed that their former people have been filled into this Jingguan little by little, becoming a manifestation of Zhu Zhan's immortal military exploits.

They hate, they are angry, but there is nothing they can do.

Even, they had already predicted what Zhu Zhanyan was going to do next......

……

"I wonder if you know anything about this building?" Zhu Zhanyan seemed to be in a good mood, and began to give science to Sigismund and Eugene IV with great interest.

"This one, called Jingguan, is made of the bones of the enemy, and in my hometown, this is usually a way to show off military exploits, and it is also the highest form of military exploits."

"However, because it is so cruel, not many people have actually done it."

"I've done it a few times."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan turned around and looked at Sigismund and Eugene IV with a smile.

"Let me introduce myself again, my name is Zhu Zhanyan, and I am the son of the King of Han of the Ming Empire located in your east."

"As for me, the first time I built the Beijing Temple was when I was ten years old, when I went out with my grandfather, and finally at my suggestion, our Ming Empire built the first Beijing Temple, and it was also the first Beijing Temple that I personally supervised."

"I forgot the specific scale, it's probably about the same as this, it's more than 100,000 people."

"Then, I built a Beijing temple in the south and east of our Ming Dynasty, and the largest of them should be a ...... Four and a half million people? ”

"But that was all in the past, from the beginning of my conquest of the Timurid Empire to the present, this is still the first Jingguan I built."

"And now, this Jingguan is almost complete, and all that is needed is the final decoration."

"So ......"

When he said this, the smile on Zhu Zhan's face became brighter, but in the eyes of Sigismund and Eugene IV, it was nothing more than the grime on the face of the evil ghost who crawled out of hell.

"There's a reluctant request below, borrow the heads of the two and use them!"

……

As Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping hung the heads of Sigismund and Eugene IV on the highest part of the Jingguan, Zhu Zhan Yan also walked to the improvised altar below.

Eight princely guards lit torches and lit all the braziers in all eight directions.

All of a sudden, a bright yellowish glow rose on the white background of the Alps.

Zhu Zhanyan lit the incense candle in his hand, faced the east, bowed three times very respectfully, and then inserted the incense candle into the incense burner in front of him.

"Tell me to go down." Zhu Zhanyan turned to leave, and gave one last order before leaving.

"Let the fire here stay alive for three days, and we'll leave after three days."

"Yes!"

……

The human eye can see the scenery from a few kilometers or even more than a dozen kilometers away from a wide enough place, and although it is not clear that it is not clear to see specific things, it can still see the color of fire, which is different from the surrounding area.

Even if you can't see it during the day, you can do it at night.

Three days is enough for the people around Lake Lémans to see the anomalies here, and they will definitely come to see what is going on when the time comes.

Then, over time, what happened here was transmitted to the Duchy of Burgundy with the people who came in and out of the area around Lake Léman.

At last...... Spread throughout Western Europe.

The head of Zhu Zhan and Eugene IV is not enough to destroy the faith of Catholics, but as long as he operates a little, even if he can't destroy it directly, he will make Catholicism fall off the altar.

When there is a choice between life and faith, there may still be people who hold on to their faith, but most people will still choose to live.

And when faith becomes a burden, it is worthless.
