Bilibili and Arda squatted in a far corner, squinting their eyes and looking around furtively. Well, I must admit that as two pure-blooded demons who have awakened the blood of ancient demons, they have no idea about this kind of thing.
The happy, uplifting, enthusiastic, and positive atmosphere is very uncomfortable. They hate this kind of strong family affection and friendship, so the two of them, Hazy Nightmare, Artha and others can only stay away and be vigilant at all times.
Follow the surrounding movements to protect Lin Qi's family dance!
"Ah, I really hope someone will come to cause trouble! In this case, we can have fun killing people, and Xuanlan will also have good food to eat!" Bilibili clicked her lips and took out a shiny roasted chicken leg from her sleeve.
: "I know Xuanlan's taste. He and I are old friends. He likes to eat humanoid creatures. These four-legged things cannot satisfy his strong appetite!"
The loud sound of 'Bang, bang, bang' kept coming. Ten thousand court mages of the Longshan Empire stood in the square in the distance, blasting the sky with various magics, and painted a picture in the sky.
A beautiful pattern. The strong light produced by the explosion of magic light bombs at high altitude illuminated the entire Longshan Imperial Capital, attracting countless people in this huge city to look in the direction of the palace.
A group of three hundred giant flame dragons roared past from high in the sky. One thousand eight hundred trombone players in formal attire stood on the backs of the giant dragons, blowing high-pitched horns against the strong wind. The loud and powerful horn sounds
The dark clouds in the sky were torn apart, the cold wind and the blizzard were torn apart, and rays of sunshine shone down from behind the dark clouds. Countless rays of magnificent light shrouded the Longshan Imperial Capital in a wonderful halo.
The people of the Longshan Empire cheered at the same time, and some people looked at the group of giant dragons roaring past in the sky with complicated expressions, as well as the densely packed magic flying disks lingering near the distant skyline! Let
What scares these people is that among the magic flying discs made by the Longshan Empire, the largest one has a diameter of more than 500 meters!
In the past, the Western Continent. Even the most powerful Gallic Empire could only make magic flying discs with a diameter of no more than ten meters. Only the church had the kind of technology and sufficient resources to create magic flying discs with a diameter of more than 100 meters.
Frisbee, but now, the Longshan Empire is proudly showing off a magic flying disc with a diameter of 500 meters!
Each magic flying disc with a diameter of more than 500 meters can transport thousands of fully armed heavy armor soldiers and magicians at the same time. This gives the Longshan Empire's army a maneuverability beyond imagination.
and long-range strike power. This also means that the Longshan Empire has mastered extremely sophisticated magic technology and has an extremely large reserve of magic materials.
The dilapidated Gallic Empire did not have such ability, and the Great Yan Dynasty, which was beaten all over by the Blood Qin Empire, did not have such a background. Even the envoys of the church mission saw those huge ones in the dark clouds.
The looming magic flying disc showed extremely complex expressions on their faces.
The Longshan Empire is just a subordinate force of the Temple of War and the representative force in the surface world. How can it be so powerful?
Lin Qi and the members of the Black Tiger family, as well as Lin Qi's old brothers and close subordinates, did not pay attention to the complicated moods of some people. They rejoiced, danced and laughed in the palace.
The neat sounds of clapping and tapping, as well as the melodious music, floated out from outside the palace wall! The people of the Longshan Empire became more and more happy and encouraged, while some other people became more and more complicated.
Time passed minute by minute, and two days later. Starting at three o'clock in the afternoon on the last day of the year, an endless stream of people began to gather in the direction of the Longshan Imperial Palace.
Envoys from the two empires and churches, nobles and nobles from all over the continent, leading figures from major guilds, famous artists, various celebrities and sages, according to the list drawn up by the ceremonial officer of the Longshan Empire Palace, in order.
, riding in various gorgeous carriages, drove towards the palace one after another. The lower the status, the farther ahead, while the church, the Great Yan Dynasty and the Gallic Empire fell at the last position.
The large-scale honor guard of the Longhan Empire wore armor made of gold and silver, and scarlet silk cloaks. They held twelve-meter-long gilt dragon spears that were purely decorative. They stood neatly with their heads held high.
On both sides of the street leading to the main entrance of the palace.
Amid the loud shouts of the ceremonial officer of the Longshan Empire Palace, a convoy of nobles, like a colorful dragon, slowly followed this avenue and slowly drove into the Longshan Palace. Among the many vehicles, the nobles of all sizes looked at them with complicated expressions.
The honor guard on the roadside was calculating how many gold coins it would cost to wear pure gold and pure silver armor on these honor guards.
Some nobles who claim to be shrewd and capable want to use the scale and cost of today's New Year's banquet to find out the financial resources of the Longshan Empire, calculate how much power they can convert into combat effectiveness, and calculate the future impact of the Longshan Empire on the Western Continent.
What an impact it has.
What has nothing to do with these scheming nobles is that endless cheers can be heard from everywhere in the Longshan Imperial Capital today.
The streets and alleys of the Longshan Imperial Capital were decorated with joy, and tens of thousands of Longshan Empire's dragon and golden mountain flags were fluttering high. A huge magic barrier enveloped the Longshan Imperial Capital, covering an area of hundreds of miles, isolating the cold wind and blizzard.
Outside, nearly a thousand giant dragons were circling and flying in the sky. The huge dragon power they brought drove away the dark clouds, and the bright sunshine generously shone on the Longshan Imperial Capital.
There are various performances at every street corner of the imperial capital, with dewy flower petals constantly falling from the sky, and beautiful music coming from everywhere. Today's Emperor Longshan is really like the legendary paradise of the Kingdom of God, everywhere
It was all joy and laughter everywhere.
A projection clone was created and sat on the emperor's throne to receive the nobles who were coming. Lin Qi was wearing an ordinary black robe and stood side by side with Yun on the main gate tower of the palace, smiling as he watched the brilliant sunshine.
The Longshan Imperial Capital.
"It would be great if all this could last forever!" Yun leaned against Lin Qi gently and sighed softly.
"Well, maybe one day, this beautiful scene will be destroyed due to war and violence! But sooner or later, I will rebuild all of this and let them last forever!" Lin Qiqing put his arm around Yun's shoulder.
He patted Yun's head lightly: "When everything is completed, when the dangers and clouds hanging over our heads have completely dissipated, I will make all the good things last!"
Yun turned to look at Lin Qi: "Can we succeed?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Qixiao looked at Yun and nodded gently: "Of course, we will succeed!"
The large-scale church envoys slowly walked into the palace from Lin Qi's feet. This time, they came to the Longshan Empire on behalf of the church to extend traditional New Year greetings to the Longshan Empire. At the same time, the person who presided over the New Year Sacrifice Ceremony was the new Holy Crown.
Pope Francis? Dawn.
A little-known cardinal, a side clan member who was not valued even in the Chenxi family, suddenly became the Holy Crown Pope, one of the three most important popes in the church. Only Lin Qi knew how this happened.
What happened was that all the divine descendants in the church who possessed divinity and had extraordinary qualifications were replaced by the souls who lost their bodies in the ancient divine war.
How could a noble god be entangled in complicated worldly matters every day? Therefore, those gods with extraordinary qualifications who hold high positions have retired one after another. These are usually not taken seriously, and most of them are on the sidelines within the church.
Priests of divine and non-divine origins have stepped into high positions. The church has quietly completed a major change in personnel power, and behind this is the terrifying reality that a huge number of divine souls have gained access to power.
But it made Lin Qi feel heart palpitations.
In order to highlight the importance that the church attaches to the Longshan Empire, the newly appointed Francis led 3,000 clergy to personally attend the New Year's Palace Banquet of the Longshan Empire. Now, 3,000 high-ranking clergy lined up neatly in the forest.
Walking through the main entrance of the palace at your feet.
Lin Qi looked at these clergymen who were holding various magical weapons, chanting mantras in praise of the gods, and with pious faces. He couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic sneer. He looked down at these guys, these 'pious' people,'
Firm believers, they are walking under the feet of a heretic with a great reputation. This is really a great ridicule!
Following closely behind these church envoys were the envoys from the Dayan Dynasty. A certain cousin of Yan Chimei, a prince from the Dayan Dynasty, led hundreds of followers into the palace with smiles on their faces. Lin Qi
Knowing why this guy came, the gods have ceased fighting, but the Blood Qin Empire is still launching a fierce attack on the Dayan Dynasty. The Dayan Dynasty submitted a letter of credence to the Longshan Empire for help several days ago.
More troops, more ordnance, too much military supplies and food. In short, the Blood Qin Empire has forced the economy of the Dayan Dynasty to go bankrupt. Without the support of the Longshan Empire, the Dayan Dynasty would have
It could no longer withstand the fierce attack of the Blood Qin Empire.
Behind the Dayan Dynasty is the haggard-looking envoy of the Gallic Empire. Among the three major empires in the western continent, the Gallic Empire is in the most miserable condition. Large areas of its territory are occupied by alien coalition forces and undead armies. Its people have suffered heavy losses, and a large number of
Refugees continued to flee into the Longshan Empire. In just over a year, the population of the Gallic Empire was reduced to less than one-third of its pre-war level.
The Gallic Empire is now severely weakened, and their purpose in coming to the Longshan Empire is to ask for all possible assistance.
Lin Qi even knew that the Gallic Empire had long sent envoys to ask for help from the church, but the cold and ruthless church did not take the Gallic Empire to heart. Lin Qi even knew that the new generation of church leaders headed by Francis, they
I would be happy to see the use of religious wars as an opportunity to eliminate national forces, large and small, in the secular world.
