Chapter 17 The Holy War in August

In the third month when Saint Laurent's name is revered as sacred, August 3rd of the first year of the New Calendar, Saint Laurent officially launched a holy war against the Ring of Ashes.
Because Saint Laurent said, their name is sin.
Because Saint Laurent said that they were blind believers who were blinded by the devil's anointing. Their intentions were good, but they deviated from the right path because of doubts and completely violated Saint Laurent's "Commandments".
The "Commandment" says, "You must not put Saint Laurent to the test of your Lord. If you doubt him, you are guilty of sin."
——Because Saint Laurent said, these people chose the right path, but entered the wrong door.
This war is neither purification nor crusade, but a salvation.
Saint Laurent said that the souls of these Embers are only a short distance away from the abyss. Only Roland and the followers of the Sleeping Master can take their souls back from the edge of the endless abyss and let them rest in peace again.
Professionals from all over the world immediately responded to Roland's call and, led by priests from all over the world, gathered into an army and gathered towards Titan.
"Live for Him! Fight for Him! Die for Him!"
A gray-haired old bishop was holding a steel hammer and a heavy steel cross staff on the street, indicating the direction of advance for the army whizzing by.
He is not just a commander, he is also a warrior at this moment - his thin bishop's robe is covered with iron armor full of tiny steel nails, and there are two heavy steel rings on his wrists, which are branded with
A shimmering cross. When the old bishop pointed the tip of the hammer in the right direction, it would emit an extremely bright holy light.
"You have to respond! Respond with a loud voice!"
The old bishop's eyes were burning with pale flames, and the veins in his right arm that were holding the hammer tightly were knotty.
He raised his head and shouted loudly, with a voice like thunder: "May all glory return to Saint Laurent——"
"May all glory be given to Saint Laurent!!"
All the soldiers did not hesitate and shouted in response as loudly as they could.
The old bishop took a deep breath and roared again: "Saint Laurent——"
There seemed to be something rolling in his throat, and the praise was like a chant.
All the soldiers continued the second half of the sentence in unison: "——Holy!"
Along with their roars, the silver-white holy fire suddenly rose in their eyes.
The dry physical strength was replenished, their steps became lighter, their movements became stable, and their sore muscles recovered as before.
Feeling the miracle that happened to them, they once again praised loudly in unison: "Holy Saint Laurent! Holy! Holy!!"
Their roars exploded in the wilderness, like rolling thunder, roaring in all directions.
"Speed ​​up! Stay in formation!"
The old bishop roared again: "Saint Laurent needs us!"
"Go rescue our brothers!"
After more and more armed professionals passed by him, the old bishop also swung his hammer and staff, turned around and mounted a tall war horse wearing steel armor like him, and headed towards the front of the rolling crowd.
Rushed over.
There are over a thousand such legions gathered from all directions. The most peripheral ones have just left Suze, while the ones closest to the battlefield have already entered the border of Titan.
With Roland's weekly miracle of birth, Farns' power level has increased by nearly two levels. Nowadays, adult professionals will basically become silver-level, and those with a little ability can step into gold. Originally, they were in the silver level.
Without exception, those at the silver level have advanced to gold, and one-third of those who were originally at the gold level have awakened their origins.
After Roland's seven miracles have become common knowledge to everyone, the silver-level soul alienation and the gold-level soul sublimation will naturally subtly change their thinking patterns in a direction that is beneficial to Roland.
It can be said that Roland's influence at this time has surpassed the influence of any pope or god in the world at any time.
The emperors of the world must be crowned and blessed by Roland before they can be authoritative. Roland is the godfather of all emperors, and his opinions are completely higher than those of the rulers of various countries. Although he is not named, in fact, Saint Laurent has become a true saint.
The king of the earth, the only and highest monarch of Farnes. His name is revered as sacred by people on the earth. Some people even believe that Roland's name itself is sacred, and just reciting his name devoutly is enough to make him
People are freed from suffering and misfortune.
Roland's holy order does not require any heralds or notices - even if Roland is in Frankfurt, his voice is enough to spread throughout the world. His voice has long been known to everyone, and people have developed the habit of hearing it.
Upon Roland's orders, he immediately knelt down and prayed in the direction of Frankfurt.
This makes it impossible for Roland's will to be distorted and Roland's decisions to be concealed. All orders will be implemented everywhere at the first time, and people will spontaneously complete any of Roland's orders without supervision.
——They regard this as an honor.
Correspondingly, more than one-third of the cultists in the Ring of Ashes were converted because of Roland's miracle, and another one-third of them were accused of the Death Crow Legion during Kalal's purge operation.
Those who were killed and still insist on their position are all followers whose souls were polluted by the dusk.
This is far more than the number of troops that participated in the Battle of the White Tower, and its quality is also much higher than the crusade during the Battle of the White Tower.
The disparity in power between them was such that the war was over before it even began.
"So, what are you still hoping for?"
Marco lowered his head and looked at the Embers who were kneeling and praying. There was only calmness and pity in his eyes: "Are you still longing for victory?"
"We are facing two-thirds of the professionals in the entire world. If we could defeat them, we would have captured Titan and Kalar long ago. Among these thousands of legions, the gold-level warriors alone are stronger than us.
The sum of all people combined is greater.”
Marco nodded approvingly: "Roland is a good opponent. History has made a choice - it says that Roland is right and he deserves to win."
"...Then, are we going to wait here to die?"
Someone asked Marco tremblingly.
"Why do you say that?"
Marco asked in return: "Don't you live for the equality and progress of mankind? Now that Roland has accomplished this, there will be no complaints even if he dies. At least you fell on the road to progress leading to the future, instead of
Died in a corner where no one cares. In the future, there will be people pointing to our tombs and saying, 'They are also respectable sages, but they took the wrong path'——"
"So, do you mean that you want to betray the great Higgs?"
The trembling person who asked the question trembled even more violently. His back gradually bulged, and his voice became old and echoed: "Do you really want to betray Shige for the sake of human progress -"
Before he could finish speaking, a scorching and dirty fire shot out from Marco's palm and penetrated his head. The man's half-dark body was instantly burned to ashes by the dim yellow flames.
"Exactly so!"
Mark shouted sonorously and powerfully: "Because I am Mark, Mark the one who abandoned God——"
Chapter completed!
