Chapter 1002 1000 It’s our turn now! The courage of the Sun God
Chapter 1002 Now is our turn! Warriors of the Sun God! Drive those white devils into the sea!!!
At night, the tired Crown Prince wore royal pajamas and walked quickly into the bridge of the Origin Pioneer under the protection of the guards. This fatigue came from meeting with various forces at the meeting organized by the Halfling Steam Lords.
The leaders of the group had a long discussion and conversation. The complicated political environment in Chardot at this time required the young crown prince to take it seriously. However, although his face was still heavy with sleepiness, his expression was very serious.
It looked like something was wrong!
"what happened?"
The crown prince looked at the busy staff debugging various equipment in front of him, and he asked the ugly-looking General Bhopal:
"I heard that our ship's communications with the country were cut off? Who did it?"
"It cannot be confirmed yet, Your Highness. This news has been blocked. Only the personnel on duty and the commanders of the solar ship know it. However, all communications with the country have entered a dangerous state of being unable to connect."
The old general frowned and said:
"Our instruments are operating normally, but the signal beacons of the Ptolemaic City are closed. Currently, except for the signal feedback from the Holy City of Creation, all communications in other areas have gone silent. The worst thing is that there are no connections with other suns.
The ship's communication has never been established.
I can only suspect that something happened in the country, and His Majesty ordered a nationwide communication control. But to be honest, I can't imagine what kind of major event could make the situation get so bad in such a short period of time.
Priest Bodinos is currently communicating with the Holy City through the esoteric method of the Sun Church, and there may be news soon."
"But even if my father orders the signal to be cut off, important areas throughout the empire, especially the Sunship, the most important weapon of the country, will maintain encrypted communication within safety limits. It is abnormal to be completely unable to communicate like this!"
His Highness Khufu's sleepiness flew away immediately after hearing that something might happen in the country. He said sharply:
"We can't stay here any longer! The war in Port Chardeau is currently over. The next war on the Genoa Peninsula will not affect the overall situation without the participation of the Origin Pioneer. We must return home immediately to support our father."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have brought accurate news."
Just as Khufu and the old general were discussing the next action, Priest Berdinos, who was solemnly dressed but also had two dark circles under his eyes, strode into the bridge, holding a blazing sun carved with shamanic skills in his hand.
The pendant still has the remnants of warm elemental power on it.
He raised it and said to the two people in front of him:
"I have completed communication with the Holy City of the Sun. The good news is that everything in the country is normal and there is no chaos. The bad news is that Archbishop Lieyang told me that the Creator has set a test of faith for the Songhai people."
"What does this mean? Priest Bodinos, I understand that you are a devout believer, but in this situation, please stop telling such riddles."
General Bhopal snapped:
“What does ‘the Creator’s test of faith has come’?”
"It's a literal ceremony. Your Highness and the general. A few hours ago, all the relics of the Creator in the Songhai Empire except the Holy City of Creation were shut down at the same time. His Majesty's royal ship 'Millennium Quicksand' also encountered
In the emergency landing accident, the empire's most elite quicksand guards were even collectively trapped.
This is not the most serious.”
Bodinos rubbed his eyebrows and said softly:
"The city defense matrices of Ptolemaic City and Port of Origin are also down, and the empire's core energy equipment in the city has stopped. Although the craftsmen have activated our own imitation solar power generators, the energy gap is not so easy to fill.
Without the energy core, the seven cities near the Royal City and the surrounding oases will all face the risk of water shortage and drought, and the communication systems in various places are cut off very suddenly. In my humble opinion, there may not be a problem in a short time, but time
If it is prolonged and we cannot come up with an alternative, something may happen to the border oasis.
Without the communication system left by the Creator, the empire's current ruling foundation will fall apart!
The Pharaoh's orders cannot be quickly transmitted to the Pharaohs everywhere, and it is difficult to guarantee whether careerists will take advantage of the situation. By then, we will also face border problems similar to the Kingdom of Nordtov.
The worst thing is that we were not given enough preparation time before the Creator's power disappeared, and there may be problems with the defenses on the Abyss of Resentful Spirits.
Therefore, the Church of the Burning Sun conveyed the order of the Pharaoh, requiring the Origin Pioneer, which is still in operation, to return to the country immediately, temporarily support an emergency communication system with the help of the communication module carried by the ship, and go to the Wraith Abyss defense line to take over
The solar ship 'Three-Headed Dog of Hades' that has been offline continues to perform first-level defense missions."
"Has the situation gotten this bad?"
Both Khufu and General Bhopal were stunned. The young crown prince was worried about the situation in the country and would immediately order a return flight, but General Bhopal thought more. He glanced suspiciously at the console in front of him and whispered.
:
"If the gift of the Creator is withdrawn, and if other solar ships are unable to take off, then why can our ship still operate well? Could it be that this kind of 'punishment' only happens within the empire?
Can the power of the Creator in other areas still operate?"
"This is not clear at the moment."
Bodinos shook his head and said:
"But I advise you not to think in this way. Everything about the Songhai people comes from the gift of the Creator.
The blessings He sends are gifts, and the punishments He sends are also gifts. Although we don’t know why our gods want to withdraw His power at this time, I think that if the gods are still paying attention to this world, then He obviously has a lot of hope for the civilization of the Songhai people.
Some dissatisfaction that we are not yet aware of."
"Stop guessing! The Creator will not be dissatisfied with any civilization, and don't use mortal thinking to think about the actions of gods. The way they observe the world is inherently different from mortals."
As soon as Bodinos finished speaking, the mechanical door of the bridge opened again, and maintenance sentry Mosna walked in carrying her tool bag. She put one hand on her hip and said:
"The shutdown of the Creator's Relics is not just for the Songhai people. Most of the Creator's facilities currently on the continent have been shut down. Your spacecraft can still operate because of the main body of Lord 'Eden''s algorithm temporarily residing here.
On the ship, it has written a temporary master control program for you to allow the Origin Pioneer to continue operating.
This is not a miracle or luck, it's just part of the plan.
I am here to read out an order to you on behalf of Chief Murphy. He, who is regarded as the 'Chosen God of Creation' in the eyes of the people, has just interpreted the information left by the Creator. He claims that the remnants of the era left thousands of years ago on the current continent are
The ring has been cleared!
Not just the Songhai Empire, but all mortal nations must adapt to this change as soon as possible.
In addition, the recovery of the Creator's power is not permanent. The downed equipment is not damaged, you just need to reactivate it in your own way.
Chief Murphy declared that if you can rely on your knowledge and skills to make a certain relic of the Creator move, then you will have complete control over that thing.
This is the will of the Creator!
The same instruction has been sent to all the current power leaders in Port Chardeau. Chief Murphy hopes to see this era relearn the knowledge left by the Creator in a more pragmatic manner, rather than just treating them as gifts from the gods.
Then use them with peace of mind.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with you using the method of faith to regard it as a ‘trial of the Creator’.
Is there anything else you need me to explain?"
Mosina blinked and said:
"I am about to leave this ship and return to Commander Murphy. Lord Eden will remain on this combat ship until a more suitable data container is found. However, after it leaves, the main control program hosted by it will
It will also return to a state of incompleteness.
If you are not ready by then, the last solar ship still in operation will fall."
"Can we send someone to learn from Lord Eden how to maintain and create this kind of program?"
General Bhopal asked immediately, Mosna nodded and said:
"Of course, as I just said, as long as you rely on your own skills and abilities to make this ship fly, no one can take it away from you. Considering that all solar ships share the same master control program, you
Learning Lord Eden's skills will mean that the solar boat in your hands can soar in the sky again.
This is actually not a bad thing, Songhai people.
Your claims to the Creator's heritage over the past thousand years lacked a strong legal basis, but now the opportunity has come. You only need to use your own wisdom to truly become the masters of these heritages.
It even seems to me that Chief Murphy was a little too generous in his treatment of the Songhai people this time. If I were you, I would be grateful for this."
"You mean, the Chosen God of Creation generously turned the things that should have belonged to him into ownerless things?"
Priest Berdinos obviously heard the implication of Mosina's words, and he asked:
"Just like a generous king puts the treasures in his treasury on a high platform, and as long as he can take them away with his own ability, then the king will not pursue them?"
"Well, this metaphor is very good, and it is indeed true."
Mosina thought for a while, nodded in approval and said:
"You have been studying the legacy of the Creator for thousands of years. No one has an advantage over the Songhai people in this 'treasure hunt', so my suggestion is to take action. After Chief Murphy announced his decision more than a month later,
When I set foot on your territory, I hope you can hand in an answer that satisfies him."
"I will convey the important news you conveyed to the Church of the Sun and His Excellency the Pharaoh. Please convey our gratitude to Your Excellency Murphy on behalf of the humble Songhai people."
Berdinos said goodbye to Mosna politely.
After the sentinel left gracefully, the priest looked back at the old general and the crown prince and said:
"We must return to Ptolemaic City immediately! Whether we want it or not, the test of the Creator has really come, so we must speed up our pace."
——
"Boom"
The distant and desolate sound of the big bronze bell echoed at the top of Quetzalcoatl's pyramid. The sound was powerful and shocking, symbolizing a god conveying the clearest and most solemn oracle to his followers in the world.
King Osiris, wearing golden battle armor and Quetzalcoatl's crown, strode out of the pyramid temple.
His loyal and brave bodyguard immediately handed over the gold-embellished mechanical power spear and the force field matrix buckler to his king. The king in his prime stood on this height and looked down, surrounded by the great pyramid illuminated by the sun.
The country's important ministers and generals, as well as chiefs and elders from various tribes and their most courageous warriors.
The warriors of the Earth Clan who sit in the north are the strongest and bravest.
They wear the furs of brown bears, gray wolves and lions, hold obsidian flaming swords and mechanical bucklers in their hands, and paint their faces with war paint and divine patterns that praise the earth.
They had suffered serious losses in the war with the brutal invaders for many years and were restless because of the continuous advancement of the war. They were waiting for the divine will conveyed by King Osiris.
The warriors of the Fire Clan in the south are the most enthusiastic and unrestrained.
They held the Holy Emblem of the Sun, the Feathered Serpent Incense Burner and the Fire Scepter that measured the earth. They also held high the Sun Shrine made from the heads of their enemies, praising the purifying power of the Sun's fire.
Although the Agni Clan has not been too involved in the war in the north over the years, they have felt the blood and tears of their brother clans and have sworn to advance and retreat together with their compatriots.
The warriors of the Craftsman clan who sit in the holy city of Machut are low-key and restrained.
Their attire is not as exaggerated as that of other clans, but their uniform and smart black uniforms symbolize their unparalleled discipline. They carry the instruments needed to find holy objects on their backs, and open their goggles to look at the Great Pyramid.
The chief of the always majestic Craftsman clan looked a bit sad.
This is normal, after all, just half a day before the start of this god-sacrifice ceremony, they lost the protection of the Craftsman God of the Forging World, and most of the Craftsman God's heritage in their hands was no longer available for use.
This unexpected incident made the Craftsman clan a little uneasy, and they were even more looking forward to hearing the oracle from the great Quetzalcoatl.
Finally, there is the Sky Clan, commanded by King Osiris.
The bravest warriors among them have dazzling wings on their backs and are holding mechanical war spears with red ribbons suspended in the sky. There are also smart priests singing hymns for war, conveying the meaning of today's god-sacrifice ceremony.
The will was revealed to the warriors of the kingdom in a subtle way.
King Osiris glanced around, his sharp eyes like the reflection of a deep pool showing no emotion at all, but just now, he indeed received a clear oracle from Quetzalcoatl.
"Bring the prisoners up!"
The king who dominates the sky and the earth, and controls fire and storm, points the war spear in his hand to the ground. A deep voice spreads from the Great Pyramid to all directions, making the entire ceremony site quiet. Under the gaze of countless people, the exaggerated muscles on his body are...
The executioners, covered with holy oil and wearing bloodthirsty wolf masks, dragged a trapped and embarrassed guy to the King of the Sky.
The guy was still yelling and cursing when he was about to die:
"The dusk will definitely come! You stupid barbarians! You will be burned to ashes in the fire of dusk. In the embers of your earth, the quiet and beautiful death night will finally come!"
"puff"
The sharp war spear pierced his heart, and with the blessing of the Sky King's skillful martial arts, it cut off the guy's head on a fatal trajectory. The dirty blood dripped on the altar, like fire falling.
Let the scorching fire of the sun ignite.
King Osiris bent down and raised his ugly head.
Amid the cheers of countless soldiers, he loudly announced:
"The benevolent Craftsman God took back the power of the artifacts stolen by the invaders. He took away the weapons of the white devils to show off their power, so that they could no longer rely on the power of the gods to do evil on the earth where the sun shines.
The supreme Quetzalcoatl has also sent down an oracle!
He expects to see the people of the sun expel the white devil from this sacred land with their own bravery. Ah, the gods are always merciful, but we believers are not merciful! The gods want to see the defeat of the white devil, but we
I hope the shameful invaders are extinct here!
Aztec warriors, I command you to march with me to the fallen lands of the north and repay the wrath of those who were slaughtered a hundredfold!
We take no prisoners in this battle!
This ‘Sunset Crusade’ in the name of God will not end until the last white devil and their cruel minions are expelled and driven into the unforgiving sea to drown!”
"Roar!"
The king's order for war was answered by the heroic shouts of the soldiers.
Among them, the Earth clan is the most fanatical. In the more than ten years of fighting against the White Devil, they have lost too many clansmen. The entire nomadic tribe in the Holy Spirit Plain has been almost wiped out. Every inch of flowers and grass in that fertile land has been destroyed.
Buried with weeping skulls.
Although the Artisan God also "accidentally" took away the power of the artifacts in the hands of the Aztecs when he took back the artifacts stolen by the White Devil, it didn't matter.
Quetzalcoatl still protects the Aztec warriors!
After the Craftsman God regained his divine power, on this mortal battlefield, the end of the white devils who shouted the evil words of dusk was approaching.
The fanatical warriors were preparing to leave, and the first words of the Sky King after he returned to the temple after completing the declaration of war were:
"Immediately send the most powerful sky warriors to the old continent to find my daughter Chuchut. We must understand the true will of the God of Craftsman. Although the white devils will usher in their demise, what will we do without those artifacts?"
The great forest that guards the gateway to the heart of the world?
We must obtain the oracle of the God of Artifacts, at any cost!"
