Above the barren land, the biting cold wind howled.
There is a square formation on the left and right sides, one of which is flying a black flag and all the soldiers are wearing pitch black armor, representing Dylan, the new king of Kaiyuan Kingdom.
On the other side is Edgar's army.
Edgar, who had surrendered to Gion, the God of the Green Tree, did not personally join the battle. The army was mainly composed of giant tree believers. In other words, those soldiers who were loyal to Prime Minister Edgar had already become Gion, the God of the Green Tree.
Followers of Ong.
The believers of the Giant Tree Church all wear armor smeared with green juice.
A flag with a giant tree pattern on it, rustling in the cold wind, was held by a bishop who had turned into a tree demon. His whole body was covered with vines and plant roots, and only one of his eyes was as red as blood.
.
"Great warriors!"
The Bishop of the Giant Tree made a high-pitched voice and roared, "Those heretics of the Church of the Night have seized our home and massacred the people of Lord Gion, the God of the Green Tree."
"To protect the glory of the God of Green Trees, we must take revenge!"
Following the shouts of the giant tree bishop, the soldiers behind him all fell into a state of fanaticism. Bark-like lines grew on their skin, changing under the influence of the power of the green tree god.
The first era of antiquity, the era when the gods ruled.
Ge Weng, the god of green trees, is an out-and-out benevolent god. His body is an ancient tree. After merging with the divine fire, he gave birth to his own will. When he sees humans lost in the forest, he will take the initiative to provide guidance.
.
It is precisely because of this that some human tribes became believers in Gion.
Strictly speaking, Gion did not establish his own church, and he did not fully demand the believers. Instead, like a father, he gave his believers selfless care and even treated injured humans.
But no one knows what happened in these past few eras.
The once kind God of Green Trees, Gion, has now become an evil god. His attitude toward humans is no longer as gentle as before, but his methods are extremely cruel. Even his own believers can devour them at will in order to regain their strength.
On the other side of the wasteland are the followers of the goddess of the night.
Nearly half a month of prayers have not received a response from the Night Goddess, but not long ago, the Night believers witnessed the coming of the will of the weeping goddess Helaya and helped them solve the crisis of the Giant Tree Church.
This incident spread quickly, and the Dark Night cultists cheered.
They knew that the goddess had not abandoned them, and their faith became stronger. Under the orders of the weeping goddess Heraya, they provoked this war of faith. Both sides fought for their gods.
Behind the Night Cultists is Lighthouse City.
Today, this place has been occupied by the Church of the Night. All things related to Gwen, the God of Green Trees, have been burned to death, and the fanatical Giant Tree Cultists have also been slaughtered.
The believers who had gradually accepted the God of Green Trees were forced to change their beliefs.
"The long night is coming, but faith remains forever!"
The Bishop of the Night held the First World War oil lamp high and said in a deep voice, "The souls of believers who have been bewitched by Gion, the god of green trees, have fallen. We must purify them in order to gain the protection of the goddess."
"Fight! People of the night!"
"Don't be afraid of death, the goddess of the night will always watch you. Even if we die gloriously, our souls will return to the embrace of the goddess!"
There seemed to be a hint of magic in the voice of the Night Bishop.
A touch of black appeared on the bodies of the believers, as if they had gained infinite power and stood firmly on the earth.
At the same time, on the tallest building in Beacon Town.
Enzo looked down. A war involving tens of thousands of people was about to begin. After ushering in the era of faith, the mortals in the abandoned land had already had many battles of faith. Compared to the wars for wealth and women, the battles for the firmness of their hearts were
Fighting for the sake of faith will inevitably be more brutal.
There was hardly much conversation between the two sides, and the battle started quickly.
The Church of the Night has a numerical advantage and has the Lighthouse City behind it as support. The soldiers sent from Kaiyuan City are also the most elite troops under the new king Dylan.
This is the first official war between Prime Minister Edgar and the new king Dylan.
Although the original Prime Minister Edgar occupied five cities in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan, he had always been known as a usurper because he had no royal blood. But now it is different.
After the spread of the belief in Gion, the god of green trees, the divine right of kings has become the deepest will of the people.
The royal family is no longer superior.
Only those chosen by gods can be qualified to become kings, but which god will become the only one in Kaiyuan Kingdom is still unknown.
On the desolate land, fierce fighting has begun.
Compared to the Church of the Night, the number of Giant Tree Cultists is not large, but their ability to transform into tree demons is very powerful, especially in open fields, they display amazing combat effectiveness.
There was a trace of blood red in the distant sky.
The sun is setting and dusk is approaching. The believers of the goddess of the night can only exert their strongest fighting power under the cover of night. And now, there is at least an hour left before the long night.
According to the original plan, the Church of the Night planned to stick to the Lighthouse City.
But this plan was quickly rejected due to objections raised by Yala, because the Lighthouse City had just fallen into the hands of the Church of the Night, and many civilians still maintained their faith in Gion, the god of green trees.
If the Giant Tree Cultists are allowed to attack the city, then the civilians in the city who still maintain a certain degree of faith in Gion, the God of the Green Tree, may have strange ideas and even take the initiative to open the city gate to welcome the followers of the Giant Tree Church.
Therefore, the Church of the Night decided to take the initiative to face the enemy.
As long as they defeat the Church of the Giant Tree in this war, the light believers in the city will also be in awe of the power of the Church of Night, and gradually give up their belief in Gion, the God of Green Trees, and turn around and fall into the embrace of the Goddess of Night.
At the top of Beacon Town, Enzo's face was expressionless.
This battle caused by faith may be extremely fierce and cruel to a mortal, but for him who has experienced many plane wars, it seems low-level and barbaric.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Believers in both churches have extraordinary powers.
But among them, the most powerful bishop has only just reached the level of a first-level life form, and he has not cultivated it himself. He has been given power by the gods he believes in.
The main reason Enzo paid attention to this war was to have an impact.
Now that it has been decided to lure out Gion, the God of the Green Tree, and expel the followers of the Giant Tree Church from the Kingdom of Kaiyuan, this is only the first step of the plan. This war will determine whether the Enzo Plan can get off to a good start.
Therefore, the outcome was doomed from the beginning.
The believers of the Church of the Night do not know that Enzo has a trump card behind them. No matter whether they can defeat the Church of the Giant Tree, they will win the war, because as long as they are at a disadvantage, Enzo will take action secretly.
The main reason why he did not interfere too much in this war was because he was afraid of attracting the attention of Gwen, the god of green trees.
"It seems like I don't need to take action anymore."
Enzo looked at the war on the desolate land, his eyes flickering slightly. The cultists of the night had temporarily gained some advantages due to their numerical superiority.
The setting sun in the sky weeps blood.
Night is about to fall, and when the time comes, the believers of the Church of the Night will gain greater power. If the Giant Tree Church only has this ability, then Enzo does not need to take action at all, and the believers of the Night can win.
However, things are not as simple as imagined.
"O Gion, the great god of green trees!"
Just when the Giant Tree Church was at a slight disadvantage, the Bishop of the Giant Tree, wearing a green robe, suddenly opened his arms and gave a high-pitched cry, saying: "Your humble believer prays, please give me the power to kill heretics!"
"
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint green light emitted from his body.
The bishop, who had transformed into a tree demon, had countless green shoots growing out of his bark-like body, which looked strange and ferocious. Then, cracks appeared like a human population.
Surrounded by a group of giant tree cultists, fanatical expressions appeared on their faces.
As the green light emitted from the giant tree bishop, dozens of giant tree believers were shrouded in it. After their bodies were illuminated by the light, they began to twist and eventually turned into small tree people about one meter high.
"Dedicate everything to the God of the Great Green Tree."
Suddenly, a little tree man shouted, and then ran towards the bishop. The other little tree men also approached one after another, climbed onto the bishop with their hands and feet, and then got into the cracked hole in the body of the tree demon.
The next moment, a painful expression appeared on Bishop Jushu's face.
However, dozens of little tree people got into the body, which also caused the body of the tree demon to change again. The body that was already three meters tall actually turned into seven or eight meters high, with lush branches and vines forming a huge crown.
"Accept judgment, heretics!"
Immediately afterwards, the giant tree bishop made a hoarse voice, waving his arm-like vine branches, and attacked the night cultists below.
In the distance, Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"Some kind of... magical secret method?" He murmured to himself, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
During the First Age, gods ruled the world.
If all living things want to obtain extraordinary power, they can only pray for the blessings of the gods. Only the most loyal believers will be given the power of the gods. At that time, extraordinary power was also called divine magic.
Even the most ordinary mortal can become extraordinary in an instant as long as he accepts the gift from the gods.
Although this power does not belong to believers, it is used by believers.
Therefore, in order to obtain blessings from the gods, believers have become more pious. The only disadvantage of such blessings is that once they accept the blessings from the gods, they will always be controlled by the gods.
Since divine power can be bestowed, it can also be withdrawn.
No believer who has gained extraordinary power is willing to lose this power. It is in this way that the gods maintain their rule.
During the First Age, few believers would abandon their gods.
Unless they are bewitched by another god, they may betray their own god in order to gain more power.
It wasn't until the abyssal demons invaded that the original pattern was broken.
The ancestor of wizards deciphered the mystery in the blood of gods and demons, and used special means to strip the divine power from his own body, and then started the wizard era, ultimately leading mankind to another path.
It is also an extraordinary era, but it is not attached to gods.
Wizards gradually acquire extraordinary power through self-cultivation. Although this is not as convenient as the gift from the gods, it is their own power, and even the gods cannot take it away.
When the ancient war between gods and demons ends.
With the joint efforts of wizards and gods, the demon lord was expelled. The first thing the gods did in their victory was not to thank the human wizards, but to impatiently start cleaning up everything.
They don't allow humans to escape control.
All books about wizards were mercilessly burned in an attempt to obliterate the way humans control their extraordinary power. Fortunately, the original wizard civilization already had the foundation to compete with the gods.
During the long war, mankind was on the verge of extinction several times.
But in the end, with the battle of Paradise Mountain, the wizarding civilization won, and the age of gods became history. Those gods who were once aloof finally ushered in the dusk.
Enzo shook his head, a trace of emotion appeared on his face.
The era of the rule of gods has long ended, and those dark histories have gradually been forgotten by people. But now, gods have appeared in the abandoned land, and the humans here have ushered in an era of being ruled by gods.
The frog at the bottom of the well doesn't know how deep the sky is.
Ignorant people were bewitched by the powerful power given by the gods. Although the resources were scarce in the once abandoned land, there were also knight systems and mystical systems. People gained extraordinary power through practice.
But now, everything has changed.
Since one can gain extraordinary power through prayer, almost no one is willing to improve themselves through penance. There are no official wizards in the Abandoned Land, and with the suppression of several gods, everything related to wizards has been erased.
In today's abandoned land, divine magic is the source of extraordinary power!
On the desolate land, the war became more and more fierce.
As the giant tree bishop transformed into a seven-meter tree demon, the previous disadvantage was instantly reversed. With his powerful personal force, the giant tree bishop killed everyone, and the vines all over the sky were swung like whips.
brush!
A Dark Night cultist was swept up into the sky, and several vines instantly entangled him. The sharp barbs grew rapidly and pierced into the Dark Night cultist's body. The blood in his body was almost drained out in three seconds.
The shriveled corpse was thrown to the ground.
"Heretics!"
The Bishop of the Giant Tree shouted loudly, "This is what will happen if you offend the God of the Great Green Tree!"
As he spoke, the vines waved wildly.
Around them, the Night Cultists suffered heavy casualties, and even the Bishop could only temporarily avoid their attacks, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.
"Second level?"
Over the Lighthouse City, a trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face. After transforming into a seven-meter tree demon, the giant tree bishop's combat effectiveness has become comparable to that of a second-level life form. Although this state is extremely unstable, it is still difficult for the surrounding night cultists.
