Chapter 82 Iniquity
Throughout, they didn't mention anything about finding a priest for treatment. Zong Hu, who was bleeding divine blood, naturally recovered his body faster than receiving the healing of the Great Divine Officer. And those iron chains seem to be ordinary, but in fact, they are attached to the power of divine punishment, and the injuries caused can only be recovered naturally, and they are not at all able to be treated by the priest.
Night slowly falls over the magnificent Baroque city. The royal city is built on the mountain, the royal palace is splendid, it has a history of thousands of years, and successive kings have continued to build it, and it has become the scale of today's city.
Zong Hu, dressed in a black robe and with black hair and a shawl, appeared at the gate of the palace, flashed his waist card to the guards, and walked straight to the gate. The guards had obviously gotten the news, and they were all silent, except for one young guard, who couldn't get used to it, and shouted: "What kind of person?!, the palace is also a ...... you can break into."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was covered by the elderly guard captain next to him.
"Don't talk nonsense! don't you want to live?" the captain whispered in the young guard's ear.
The guard whimpered twice, and suddenly stopped struggling. The captain suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his hands, and when he looked down carefully, he saw that his hands were full of blood!
The young guard suddenly spurted blood all over his body, and his body was instantly covered with countless blood lines, and then shattered into hundreds of pieces of flesh, which rolled to the ground. The captain of the guard froze in place, staring in amazement at the pile of flesh still wriggling at his feet, covered in the blood of the young guard.
No one knows when Zong Hu made his move, let alone how he did it. The figure in the black robe and black hair, gradually fading away, looked so huge at this moment, and his shadow was so huge that it enveloped the entire royal city.
In the palace, in an elegant and quiet courtyard, warm lights are being lit. Beautiful maids shuttled in and out, and in the living room on one side, a young beautiful woman was sitting at the dresser, removing her makeup with the help of the maid.
There was a lingering sorrow between her eyebrows, and when the maid next to her saw it, she said, "You don't have to worry, Your Majesty will definitely win this battle!"
"Of course. The young queen smiled, but the smile was very reluctant. Somehow, looking at herself in the mirror, she always felt as if she was covered with a layer of black gas.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise in the courtyard, and the courtyard door that had been closed suddenly broke away from the door frame, slammed twice, and fell in the middle of the courtyard!
A Zong Hu in a black robe and black hair, with a face that was not as beautiful as the color of the mortal world, walked in. The maids who ran out of the side hall immediately screamed in surprise, desperately calling for the guards. But when they burst their throats, the whole palace was silent, and no samurai appeared, as if they were all dead.
Zong Hu took out the golden waist card and threw it in the center of the courtyard, and all the maids were immediately silenced. The young man who was like a devil incarnated walked directly into the living room, stared at the pale but arrogant queen standing on the steps of the main hall, and suddenly smiled and said, "You are the woman whom Arnold claims to love the most?"
"I'm the Empress!Who are you?" the young Empress tried to straighten as much as she could, even though Zong Hu's gaze fell on her, making her feel as uncomfortable as a pinprick from a needle.
Zong Hu's hand slowly stretched out to the queen's chest, with a strange and eerie flame dancing in his eyes, and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that now, you are mine!"
In the queen's palace, a terrible scream suddenly sounded, echoing in the night sky of the palace, and it did not disperse for a long time.
In another palace, a favorite concubine who was usually very popular with Arnold was changing into the costume of a maid, with a pale face, and hurried out of the palace. She was so frightened that she almost fell when the screams came from afar! she steadied her breath and ran faster towards the outside of the palace. She comes from an ancient family, and her family is deeply rooted in the bloodline of the kingdom, so she got the news earlier than the queen, and she also knows the past well, and already knows what will happen in the next few days.
However, a court warrior suddenly stepped out of the darkness and stopped in front of her.
"Get out of the way, do you know who I am?" the concubine screamed, but even in hysteria, she desperately lowered her voice, afraid that the devil would hear her.
The palace warrior was expressionless and said coldly: "Your Majesty's order, within this week, no one in the harem can leave their palace. β
"What, this is...... His Majesty's order?" the concubine's face instantly turned gray. She suddenly smiled hard, showed her most beautiful side, and took out a precious bracelet from her bosom, shoved it into the hand of the court warrior, and said, "What is your name? β
"His Majesty's order, during this week, no one in the harem can leave their palace. The court warrior repeated the command, like a magic puppet.
The concubine's face gradually darkened, and she turned around and walked towards the palace. She knew that with her former position, the devil would never let her go. And after being ravaged and tortured, even if she survived, Arnold would never want her again. All the glory and luxury will be gone with the wind.
For a while, she actually felt that the wind blowing was also full of despair!
Under the same starry sky, some people are desperate, some are angry, some are ready for war, and some are indulgent.
The eyes of the gods of heaven and mortal beings were all focused on the Baroque for a time, on the land that was about to usher in destruction and rebirth.
In the flames of war, there will be people who will die and people who will grow. There will always be people who will shine brightly, but the vast majority of people will be obscure, turning flesh and bones into a stepping stone for heroes. Regardless of the final outcome of the battle, in the new epic, only heroes will be sung.
This is war.
When Richard returned to Faro, the three goddesses of the forest, the springs, and the hunt came together to ask for an audience.
Although Richard was at the most urgent moment and knew that the strength of the three goddesses was insignificant, he still met with the priests as soon as possible. No matter how weak the divine power of the three goddesses is, they are the most orthodox true gods in Faro. With them behind him, Richard is equivalent to wearing the best protective color, and can safely blend in the Faro plane.
Now that less than a year has passed since the Second Vertical Line War, the rank of the three goddesses and great priests has been promoted by one level, showing that the gods are in full swing. This is to reward them for their achievements in advancing their faith in Richard's territory, but from another point of view, it can also be seen that the embarrassment of the three goddesses can make them so excited by just a few hundred new believers.
However, after listening to the words of the three goddesses, Richard's eyebrows were locked at first, and then they relaxed, and finally although his demeanor was calm and did not show too many clues, he could clearly see that he was in a happy mood.
"You're saying that the invaders will appear in the Baroque kingdom in about a month?"
Philon nodded affirmatively, "At least a month! When the gods unite to issue oracles, they will also try to block the invaders from entering this world, thus buying enough time for the guardians." So we still have some time to prepare. β
This was a big surprise for Richard, who didn't expect the guy who invaded the Faro plane to really arrive with a delay of a month. It seems that the interference of the gods of the original plane is one of the important reasons for the 'lost time' when the plane is teleported. Another surprise is the location of the invaders in the oracle.
Baroque Kingdom?If Richard remembers correctly, it is the lair of Ludreus, the god of war! As a god with powerful divine powers, he will prepare a grand welcome ceremony for the invaders who appear near his den no matter what.
Richard took the map, spread it out on the table, and began to study the location of the Baroque kingdom. He didn't notice that there was a smug and faintly melancholy smile on Quicksand's lips.
After a while, Richard raised his head, looked at the three great priests with an expectant face, and asked, "......What do the three goddesses mean?"
Philen said: "I got the oracle of the goddess yesterday, although our Three Goddess Church is weak, but this is a world war, so we will not retreat, nor are we afraid of sacrifice, we will go all out to devote ourselves to this defense war!"
Richard nodded and said, "The greatness of the goddess is impressive. β
Fei Lun's tone changed, and he said softly and tactfully: "The goddess's determination is great, but our strength is very limited after all. So, we'd like to ask for your help. β
"Iβwhat can I do?" said Richard with a smile.
"You are now the king **god, and you have a formidable army under your command. We are not far from the Baroque Kingdom, and if you are willing to send troops, you have contributed to the whole world, and the goddesses will not forget your exploits!"
Richard stroked his short beard, looked at the map with a stern expression, and groaned, "This matter...... You need to think about it. After all, there are too many enemies around me. β
The Temple of the True God unites the nobles' private armies to send troops, which is the tradition of the Faro plane, and the remains of the invaders are the most suitable sacrifice for the clergy in exchange for the favor of the true gods, and the nobles can also get a series of benefits from the gods to the artifacts. However, the divine power and priesthood of the three goddesses are not very good, so the attraction is not very good. In the wars of invaders in history, the more powerful the temple, the more able it was to unite the powerful nobles.
Philen, Fermi, and Xiyu took turns to persuade them, but Richard was unmoved and refused to raise the matter of soldiers. In the end, the three priests looked at each other and had to leave helplessly.
"Why don't you say yes to them, it's a great opportunity!" Quicksand asked.
Richard smiled and said, "It's okay, they're much more anxious than we are." How can it be so simple to want me to send troops just by talking about it? Wait, I'm sure they'll come soon to make some substantial contributions. β
"Bad guy!" Quicksand threw down the words, holding the Book of Time, yawning, and went back to his room to catch up on sleep. Today she looked very tired.
