Chapter 5-130: The End of the Witch Blade (Part II)
At this time, all the battles by the river were over, and all the XX who did not escape the bridge were all wiped out. (Vertex Hand Hit)
Due to the bitter hatred between the two races, the Amands hardly took prisoners, and with the pride of the witchblade, they would not "sneak up" on these "inferior creatures", and they almost always fought to the last moment. There were less than a hundred witchblades, and they were captured by the Armands because they were unconscious.
Originally, according to the idea of the Amanders, "not even a captive is wanted." But Su Xue had more considerations, "so he ordered his priests and holy warriors in advance to leave some prisoners." It was also fortunate that he had greeted him beforehand, otherwise there would not have been a single captive.
By this time, the Armands had used their talent for manipulating rocks to set up a makeshift camp on the battlefield as a place to recuperate. And "the priests of the Church of the Priesthood also set up a makeshift altar in the camp.
After the camp was established, the priests and military doctors of the Church began to treat the wounded. At the same time, the priests prayed to the deceased "to select the souls of the believers among them, gather them together, and send them together to the kingdom of God."
........................................................................
Temporary altar.
A group of priests were praying at the altar.
The altar is a stone platform with a diameter of more than three meters to a circular stone platform, and it takes little effort to shape an altar of this size "under the genius of the Armand people for stone shaping".
So, they put more effort into the decoration of the altar, and they carved a lot of beautiful relief patterns on the altar. And behind the altar, a stone pillar was left, which was reserved for the idol of the deity.
In this world, all the powerful gods are not carved by the mortals themselves" but by the gods themselves. This is not only to show miracles, but also to leave a coordinate here, which is used as a channel to transmit the divine power, the soul, and so on.
Although it is a temporary altar, these procedures are also indispensable.
“...... Thou art the Lord of Redemption, the Lord of Judgment, and the giver of all bread, great God-ordinator...... Thy way shall walk in the earth......"
With the prayers of the priests reached **. The altar began to emit bursts of golden light, and a vast divine power emanated from the altar.
"It is finished, my lord has recognized the legitimacy of the altar here," the fifth-level priest Ke Ping was overjoyed.
"My lord, it is the true God!"
"Of course my lord is the true god! not a false god like Montgora, he can only operate within the confines of the main altar......
"Praise my Lord" your nose will be all over the ...... "......"
The priests discussed with each other in surprise.
In fact, at the beginning, none of them expected that a temporary altar could be built so far away from the main altar. Because the gods of this world are all false gods", that is, the ground cover equivalent to the main material plane, which can only be horizontal, and it is impossible to exert power across the range.
So, they didn't adapt at all beforehand. I didn't think of such a thing as setting up a temporary altar, and for the souls of those believers, they were ready to use the old way of the old way that the indigenous gods were used in the past, "first store them in the "soul crystal ball", and then bring them back to the main altar to deal with them.
After the cat lady told them this method just now, these guys had the idea of trying it out, and made an altar according to the gourd painting. As a result, I didn't expect it to be "all at once."
This is the pinnacle of traditional wisdom!
Fortunately, the priests were all professionals, and although they were very excited, they had not forgotten their business.
Ke Ping said to his companions, "...... Ladies and gentlemen, now that the divine power of our Lord has descended here, let's send the sacrificed believers into the kingdom of God......"
The priests said yes and began to teleport their souls.
They took out the "Soul Crystal Ball" they were carrying on their bodies in turn and placed them on the altar.
This kind of thing is a must-have tool for priests," and every church has it. However, the style, size and shape are different, although it has the word "ball" in its name, but it is only a common name, and some churches have a style that is not a ball at all.
A prop like the one in the Church of Celestial Orders is not a ball, but a mirror-like ornament. On a silver pedestal" was set with an oval-shaped crystal, which the Church of Celestial Orders called the "Soul Mirror". Usually the priests wore it around their waists as a decoration.
As soon as these "soul mirrors" were placed on the altar, they suddenly flashed with a faint blue light.
In the eyes of the spirit of the ritual, the mist of the soul "came out of it." The spirits were clearly pleased with the altar's environment, and as soon as they appeared, they began to swim around actively.
When the last soul came out, the priests began to pray again: "...... My lord, my lord...... Great God, please accept your followers to "bring them into your kingdom...... ,......
At this moment, the altar lit up again, and a misty white light rose. This white light shook suddenly, shooting into the air, forming a straight pillar of light. But when this pillar of light was strange, the other end of it rose to a position of about 100 meters in the air, and then it stopped abruptly and disappeared suddenly, as if it had been cut off by something.
At this time, these souls, under the traction of some mysterious rule, concentrate in the pillar of light, and then "jubilantly rise upwards" along the pillar of light. Immediately, they disappeared one after another at the end of the pillar of light.
When the last soul was gone, so did the pillar of light. At this moment, the priests only felt a shock all over their bodies, and a warm and majestic power came in, and this power went straight into their minds, stopping somewhere. Then these powers began to condense into one by one divine runes.
It's a restoration technique!
The priests were overjoyed, and they all felt that the magic that had been used almost the same time just now had been restored.
It's the gods' reward for their work.
"Our Lord has connected the souls of the sacrificed believers into the kingdom of God, and these believers will be with our Lord in the future......", said Coopin.
"Praise be to my lord......" the priests prayed in unison.
........................“..........................................
However, compared to the preferential treatment received by the souls of the followers, the souls of the other fallen were not so lucky. Especially the souls of the witchblades.
Now those Armand soldiers, who have no tasks and are not wounded, are "cleaning the battlefield" under the command of officers of all ranks.
They collected the bodies of their compatriots and put them together in one place. After the priests have performed the requiem ritual, they are ready to be cremated according to custom.
But the corpses of the witchblades were not treated like this.
After the soldiers recorded their equipment, they were also stacked together. Then a group of specialized soldiers, armed with sharp knives, came and recorded the skins of the scarcers, broke up their flesh, and sent them to the kitchen to cook.
Yes, they used the blades for food.
This may seem cruel to some earthlings. But in this world, unless it's a war between people of the same race, a similar race, or two sides who want to exchange their bodies. Otherwise, the corpses of the vanquished will basically be eaten as trophies by the victors.
In the main material plane, the Han and elves are probably the most civilized races, but there is no shortage of things like "being hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood". Basically, as long as the enemy is not a humanoid creature and has no value, it will be eaten unceremoniously.
The Armand and the Witchblade are a race that cannot be beaten by eight poles, and they have a bitter hatred for each other, and they do not feel at all inappropriate to eat enemies.
There are human clergy here," but they won't stop it, it's normal. Because if it were the other way around, if the battle was won by the Witch Blade, it would be the Armands who would be eaten.
An Amand officer suddenly looked up at the sky, and immediately his face changed, "and he hurriedly urged his subordinates."
“...... Hey, hurry up, Lord Shiebel is patrolling the battlefield, cheer me up!"
Several subordinates couldn't help but look up at the sky, only to see a heavily armored knight, riding a tall mount, slowly flying through the air.
“...... Wow, I can't afford to go!Lord Shibbel's mount can actually fly ......", at this time, the Amand Paladin who was on duty on the other side also saw Shiebel in the air, and he couldn't help but sigh.
A human holy warrior smiled: "Hehe, the mount personally given by the Great God of Command at this time is very powerful...... Do it well, if you have made enough meritorious deeds, my lord will also reward you with the "............"
They are all old subordinates of Shibel, and of course there will be no fuss" It's no secret that the fire will fly in the Celestial Church. Huo'er is a "wind-resisting unicorn", and flying is almost an instinct for it.
..................................................................
Shibel was now riding a fire, hovering over the battlefield. attracted the attention of countless people, and many Amand priests looked at her with envy. Especially after learning that Huo'er was given by the great god of Si Ming, the motivation in their hearts was even more sufficient.
However, she is not here to be in the limelight, nor does she want to check the work of the officers and soldiers.
Cat Lady is now carrying out a task given to her by Su Ze.
At this time, she was holding a light blue bottle in her hand, "and there was an same bottle stuck in the saddle." These two bottles are about the same size as beer bottles, "the main material is something similar to jade", and they are also inlaid with pure gold, mythril, and various precious stones, except for many sigils.
Shibel took the bottle and entered it according to the method taught by Su Ze, "after the holy power in the body is activated".
Adopted, she lifted her spiritual eye, pointed the bottle at the souls who were still wandering in the middle of the battlefield, muttered a incantation in her mouth, and then broke off: "The ghost spirit turns into a mystery, the ghost is reversed, and the nn is collected."
The mouth of the bottle suddenly emitted a silvery-white light that was almost undetectable, "It covered a large piece of soul at once." This ray of light is like a magnet absorbing iron filings, firmly "sticking" these ownerless lonely souls, and no matter how 7 struggles, it has no effect.
Then there was a flash of light, and he returned to the bottle with a large piece of soul wrapped in it.
In this way, Shiebel "flew slowly and harvested his soul with a bottle."
