"Good. Very good. ”
Edward looked up, his gaze reflecting the figure of the Blazing Divine Servant, who had re-spread her wings of light sixty feet away, the radiance of divine energy re-filling her body, enveloping her beautiful face in a ray of light.
"This is the divine power that is usually infused into this body, isn't it? worthy of a celestial creature, really smart enough...... Bastard!"
Edward smiled, a hoarse laugh through the words of the heart.
He couldn't speak anymore, the black robe was burning with raging flames, the bursting circle was spinning, the radiant energy was dotted with colorful luster, and under the shattered robe, his left arm, left rib cage and even half of his body were squeaking and burning, and a layer of brown rock covered the body, but it was melted into blazing magma.
The sudden attack just now almost killed him, if it weren't for the psychic ability that foresaw the future for a moment, allowing him to reflexively twist his body in that Qianjun and dodge the sword that tried to pierce his heart from under the ribs, if it weren't for the earth elemental creature spreading its body to wrap him in an instant, resisting most of the energy explosion, the powerful divine energy on the blade might have turned him into a ball of flame!
But now it's actually not that good...... The blade of the sword pierced through and shattered the protection of the high-level mage's robe almost instantly, burning half of his body into flames! If it weren't for the psychic warlock who instantly paralyzed the pain in his brain with self-hypnosis, I am afraid that he would immediately fall from the sky due to fainting!
"You won't make it. ”
Ariel also breathed rapidly, even the gradually brightening sunlight could not hide the sickly blush on her face - just now, that person blasted the third negative energy spell amplification shot by the group of mages in the distance into her body, although it was said that doing so would inevitably reopen the connection of the magic net and give her a chance to breathe, but the terrifying nine-ring arcane weak energy technique was infused with the power of more than fifty mages. In terms of power alone, it may even pass the power of two or three ** divisions, even if it is only for a moment, it has almost drained all the power in her body.
All she could do was watch as the fire from the human flanks suddenly extinguished, the slate and charred flesh shattering, revealing the stretch beneath it. Connect the molded granulation.
"You're not going to make it...... Not every time you can be so lucky, if you still insist on going your own way, then only the judgment of the soul awaits you. The Blazing Celestial Attendant repeated, and then. The sun was shining, and she disappeared into the scattered light like gold dust.
"But this time I still won, and I promise, I will continue to win like this until I win back my ......" At the last moment, Edward's voice crossed the constraints of space. Nailed deep into her mind: "It's a war ......"
Throughout the multiverse, there will never be peace...... There is only war, as well as a pause, in order to prepare for the next war......
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, when the empire was on an expedition to the entire Great 6, a sage lamented. And now, the war between Tumines and the Empire seems to be proving the truth of this statement, in the small city of Gondor in the western frontier of the Empire. The war began again, and then, with a sudden degree, it entered into preparations again.
When the main wall to the west completely collapsed, the greatest reliance on the defense of the city was lost, and if such a battle continued, it would only be called a one-sided slaughter. So when the great army of Tuminis finally began to move forward. The remnants of the imperial people in the city could only reluctantly choose the end of defeat.
Surrender.
Or more thankfully, because Tumenis's army doesn't seem to be as cruel and tyrannical as it seems, though most of them are. It is indeed the gray face that was ridiculed by the Empire, mixed with the blood of the barbarians, and the stout and savage size, but it did not do the same barbaric actions as the legend said, such as eating flesh and blood raw, using magic to turn people into cattle and sheep, or burning cities to kill people for fun.
After a simple and swift ritual of entry and surrender, they declared that the city had been incorporated into the territory of the Tumenis Empire, as at the end of every normal war, and that all the people of the city had become subjects of the kingdom, with the most basic rights, but also with all the obligations.
Except for some of them.
"To expel the temple of Lansendel from the city?
The Count of the Pyrenees of Tesla, the 10,000-man man of Tumenes, frowned deeply, and between his dark brown brows, fine and deep wrinkles trembled, twisting together with the scar on his forehead, as if there was some kind of monster inhabiting it. His pale yellow eyes lifted from underneath them, glaring fiercely at the guard who had reported to him.
"Yes...... His Royal Highness's decision was, however, that Viscount Edward Vincent had proposed to him. Shangguan's thunderous roar made the poor intelligence officer tremble involuntarily, and secretly raised his head to look at the old man in front of him.
Although the Marquis in his sixties is called an old fellow by some, few people can associate that description with him if he really faces it.
Indeed, for humans, the number of sixty-two years often symbolizes that they should begin to hunch over, be accompanied by crutches, and prepare to spend their days with their grandchildren...... But the general of the Pyrenees seems to have been born to refute this tradition. The old man, who looked like a middle-aged man, still liked to wear heavy full-body armor, which made the bronze muscles on his body bulge, and propped up the armor in a circle, even the few silver strands of his sideburns seemed to appear to make him look more stout and heroic. It's just that the scars on his face from years of conquest always make him look less like a general and more like a pure soldier.
In fact, he did spend most of his life as a fighter, from a civilian orphan who entered the barracks at the age of twelve or thirteen, to now becoming a leading captain, the third count of the Empire, he has long been molded into a standard warrior, a soldier who can only live in the barracks and on the battlefield. He may have reluctantly accepted something like aristocratic etiquette, but at heart, he was a soldier.
Such a person is destined to have nothing to do with politeness, if not nowadays. The kingdom decided to begin the conquest of the Empire, and a man like him could only die in the training grounds and barracks, and even in the face of the future king of Tumenis, who had promoted him, he could not utter the simplest polite words, and the young man's pleasant inquiry was only exchanged for a rough and atmospheric 'Please rest assured Your Highness' - the reason was that the young man's question sounded too childish. So now. Even if the big tent where His Highness is resting is only a scene away from here, I'm afraid no one will find fault with it, and the Chinese sentence he just said is enough to be regarded as a crime of bullying the king.
"Edward?Vincent?, that's a good name, well, it seems a little impressive?, anyway, what did you say he did?" the old man looked up. He hung the long sword that had just leaned against the wall back on his waist and walked out of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion first.
"Well, Viscount Edward Vincent said......"
"I asked him what he did!"
"Yes, he took the main priest and the deputy chief priest of the Lansendel temple with his guards. The intelligence officer who followed up sped up: "We thought this was the end of it, but now he has returned to the temple of Lansendel with his people, claiming that according to the results of the interrogation, the temple of Lansendel should be responsible for all the casualties in today's siege. So the whole temple is to be abolished, the temple is to be torn down, and all believers must be converted, or they must be expelled from the kingdom! All the lower priests of Lansendale are to be expelled, and the senior priests are to be ...... Hang yourself for public!"
"That's a good job, those guys who pretend to be old and shout some kind of justice or something, I'm quite annoying to them, but I'm going to expel them? And hang them for public display? And convert the believers? Is this guy named Edward crazy?" The old general raised his eyebrows: "What does Your Majesty say?"
"That. It's Your Highness, Your Highness gave an order that the viscount would be in charge of this matter before, and then he went to rest, and we didn't dare to disturb ......"
"What a nonsense, get two horses, and let my guards follow, and I'll meet this daring boy!"
The Ransender Temple in the city of Gangdo. It is located in the middle of the central avenue, not far from the Lord's Palace, and although it is not large, it also inherits the consistent style of the temple of Lansendel. It has a gorgeous appearance with crystal and gold inlays, and a square of considerable size, but at the moment, this square is already crowded!
Well, or maybe that's a bit accurate, in fact, starting from the front of the ornate door of the temple, the crowd is divided into three distinct levels, in front of the door, a group of priests and paladins of the god of the dawn are fully armed, as if facing a great enemy, supporting a faint invisible barrier in front of them, and on the periphery, there are a large number of civilians in the city, most of them are shouting and noisy, obviously deeply related to Lansendel, and from time to time a shout or two comes from inside, most of them are "oppressive" such as "Tunies" Words like that, one wonders if if someone were to raise their arms in it, they would have responded in droves and fought again against the foreigners who had taken over the city.
In fact, it seems that the reason why these people are still barely accused of being together. There was no riot, but it was because between them and the temple were accompanied by a group of swords unsheathed and menacing private soldiers.
“...... The believers of the temple of Lansendel, against the army of the Kingdom of Tumenis, caused heavy casualties to one thousand and seventy-six soldiers of the kingdom, and these thousand and seventy-six warriors died for the great revolutionary cause of overthrowing the hegemony of the Empire!
And when the Count of the Pyrenees and his twenty knights parted the crowd, a voice that was drowned out by the tumult became clear.
"The events of the previous life in Gangduo City today have been well known to all, and a small number of stubborn saboteurs have inflicted severe damage on our army! But we are not here to slaughter and destroy, we are here with sincere goodwill, to save you from the tyranny of the Empire, and therefore we pardon the ignorant majority of you, and punish only those who have caused these casualties! The temple of Lansender in the city of Gangdo has been ordered to be demolished, and all believers, you can choose to renounce your faith. Also seek a deity that you revere, whether it is the God of the Afflicted, the God of Judgment or the God of Justice...... But Ransendel, if you must believe in him, please give your lives for the heroes who died in this war!"
This voice gradually resounded into the sky from a steady loud voice, causing the civilians around to look at each other for a while. Overwhelmed –
Most of them, during the siege, just hid in their basements, praying for a miracle, and saw any saboteurs or the like, and even the men in the prime of life who were encouraged to join in the defense of the city only barely noticed the glint of light, screams, and explosions on the front walls. The beat of the drums mixed with the horns to form a terrible noise. And in the end, the entire city wall collapsed like a sand sculpture!
As for what about the death of the attacker...... They had no idea how this qiē was caused.
But if that's true...... It is true that the priests of the gods never participate in war, it is forbidden by the oracle, and if the priests of Lansendel really disobey this rule, it seems that the Tumini officials of the occupiers do have the power to punish them.
But......
"The priests are here to save us! you can't punish them!" a voice suddenly shouted, "You invaders are the cause of the trouble! Go back to your lair, we are not yours...... Uhhhh
The roar turned into a long scream! An arrow pierced the man's throat like that! And in the group of privateers, a half-elven warrior unconcernedly drew another arrow from his side and put it on the bowstring. Although it was not a word, it was enough to make the whole venue suddenly silent!
Although the man was not far away from the shooter, the skill of distinguishing him from the crowd and locking his throat with an arrow was terrifying enough. And that indifferent look is a warning - anyone who instigates rebellion will be killed!
"Everyone, be silent!"
Another sound of illusion expansion rang out—from the mouth of a middle-aged priest at the door of the temple. He stared gloomily at the heavily armed privates in front of him. The flames of resentment in their eyes almost erupted - these Tumenians were so vicious, and the situation had reached an almost irreversible level, blocking the army, causing casualties? They knew very well that this was a trumped-up charge, but now, even the common people, I am afraid, had already recognized that they were indeed the culprits in these things.
"There's no need to make up some high-sounding reasons. We've never been involved in any war!You're just slandering!But that's okay, try to kill us, you wicked invaders! Just as you did when you killed our Priest! The morning sun shines above your heads, and you will face the judgment of light! And just like our Priest, we can face death without fear. For I am with the light!"
"Kill you?hh? What a good 'good' priest, Your Excellency, so you mean that if you want to kill, you have to kill a group of you? do you want those who want to convert and avoid misfortune to be buried with you?" a low sneer reached everyone's ears, and a black burqa stepped out of the private soldiers.
The burqa seemed to be just a magic robe that could be seen everywhere, just a pitch-black color, and it looked so ominous, like the evil eagles that could turn into monsters in the legend. Even if the person's gaze touches it, he will feel a cold haze, transitioning from the sight to his own body.
But the man who followed him drew a chorus of wonder and joy from the priests
"Lord Priest...... You're safe in the morning...... There is also the vice-celebrant ......"
"Great, these savage infidels, they didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Facing the two approaching white-robed old men, the priests were pleasantly surprised to let go of the barrier of divine power, they greeted, respectfully welcomed them into the temple, and did not even have time to wonder why the fellows on the other side who claimed to punish them and ask them to change their faith would make such a 'generous' move.
And how rash is this move?
In an instant, the two senile figures began to run violently, and they went straight through the main hall to the altar, and tore out the sacred artifact of Lansendel, which had been copied by a respected high priest three hundred years ago, the book of doctrine of Lansendel, and the small golden statue of the god as a sacrificial object!
The city of Gangdo is small in scale, and the temple is not too big, but the temple of Lansender has very strict requirements for wealth, and usually, the statues of the god of the dawn are cast of pure gold, and they are inlaid with a large number of precious stones, so naturally it cannot be too big.
The old man threw the idol to the ground and stepped on it with one foot! Although the gold-cast thing would not be deformed by this kick, the facial features on the soft gold face were suddenly knocked into a pit! The fragments of the gem rolled to the ground!
What a strict blasphemy?
Several pastors were already completely stunned, and this sudden shift caught everyone off guard...... (To be continued.) Please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
