In the middle of Shenghui Street, on Shenghui Mountain, Shenghui Cathedral is like a giant dragon entrenched on the mountain, overlooking most of the imperial capital. Holy Church.com This white rock mountain is said to be pulled out of the ground by the gods.
, there are mostly plains and hills near the imperial capital, but Shenghui Mountain is so tall that it really looks like a miracle.
Shenghui Cathedral is located on Shenghui Mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, layers of halls are piled up one after another. Countless corridors and walkways connect the upper and lower halls. And the Shenghui Cathedral at the highest point of the hill is even more glorious and magnificent.
, this is a magnificent building that can accommodate up to 10,000 people to pray to the gods at the same time.
The main body of the square and square church has twelve towering spiers standing on it. Because it is blessed with a permanent magic circle, the pale golden Holy Glory Cathedral emits a circle of bright golden light at all times.
, this circle of light envelopes the entire Shenghui Mountain, and it is also the first barrier of the Shenghui Cathedral - the Shenghui Barrier.
This barrier wraps the sky and the ground near Shenghui Mountain, and even the underground is wrapped by the barrier. Unless they are recognized clergy, anyone who steps into the Shenghui barrier will be attacked with great power.
The ruthless attack of divine magic.
On weekdays, the entrance of Shenghui Cathedral at the foot of the mountain is crowded with people, and it is really lively with many believers and clergy coming in and out.
But today the atmosphere here was extremely tense. Tens of thousands of soldiers wearing heavy armor blocked the entrance to the Holy Glory Cathedral. Powerful bed crossbows were even set up on the houses of several wealthy families nearby. More
There are thousands of warriors armed with sniper crossbows hiding in the trees and corners of houses. Their eyes are fixed on a group of clergy standing within the Holy Brilliance Barrier.
It was already dark, but the place was densely covered with lanterns and torches, and dozens of magical light clusters were suspended high in the sky, illuminating the area as brightly as day. Thousands of clergymen stood near the entrance, headed by a
A red-robed archbishop wearing red robes and holding a scepter.
The presiding church of the Holy Glory Cathedral is Cardinal Cardinal Tulu. Under him, and assisting him in managing the entire Holy Glory Cathedral, are three red archbishops. The latest chapter of the Holy Church.com is in the organization of the church
Among them, the red archbishops are the managers of provincial-level dioceses in various countries. Not only do they have a high status, but their personal strength is also extremely powerful.
The cardinal archbishop in front of him is Bishop Hattu of the Scepter, one of the three cardinal archbishops of Tulu. The Bishop of Scepter is responsible for the daily work of the entire Holy Glory Cathedral, such as administration, logistics, official correspondence and communication with Gaul.
Official contacts with the empire, etc., are all handled by Hatu, the scepter bishop.
A strong wind suddenly blew from a distance, and the long white hair of Bishop Hattu, who was holding a scepter, was blown wildly by the wind. He squinted his eyes and looked coldly at Stan, who was standing outside the holy radiance barrier, and suddenly revealed a hint of
Smile: "Your Excellency Stein, this is a place shrouded in the glory of the gods. Please leave with your men. Is the Gallic Empire going to war with the believers of the gods?"
Wearing a set of bloody heavy armor, holding a heavy horse-cutting sword in both hands, with the sword pointed down on the ground, Stan stared at Bishop Hattu with a sullen face, and suddenly spit heavily on the ground.
"Stop talking nonsense, you know what I'm here to do. Hand over Enzo and the others, otherwise..."
With a random wave of his right hand, the heavy sword slashed through the air with a roar, and a sword energy shot out, splitting a sword mark one inch wide, several feet deep, and more than ten meters long on the ground. The ground here is paved with
They are all made of extremely hard granite. Stain can cause such damage with a casual blow, which shows how powerful he is.
Hatu smiled easily and shook his head gently.
"This is the place where the glory of the gods shrouds. Mr. Stein, are you demonstrating against us? You are using weapons on the territory of the gods. Do you want to declare war on the Church on behalf of the Gallic Empire? But do you have the qualifications?
?”
Hatu's words were very arrogant, arrogant to the core. Even if there were only more than a thousand clergymen standing behind him, even if Stein brought tens of thousands of heavy infantry, and there were a large number of soldiers lurking in the darkness behind him, Hatu
Didn't take Stan seriously at all.Temple.com
If Stann dares to attack the Holy Glory Cathedral, then this means that the Gallic Empire declares war on the Church. There is no doubt that the Church will mobilize all its power to launch a religious war against the Gallic Empire. But Hattu looks down on Stann at all.
A general of the Gallic Empire, just a hereditary marquis, do you have the qualifications to represent the Gallic Empire?
Yun Danfeng smiled softly, and Hatu squinted his eyes and shook his head: "Your Excellency Stein, please take the soldiers back to the camp. You are not qualified to express any personal opinions in the place shrouded in the glory of the gods! This is where everyone is
God’s territory, if you want to do something, ask His Majesty the Emperor Saint Louis XIII to come in person!”
Stan's eyes were red with anger, and a vein suddenly popped out between his eyebrows.
"Hatu, I won't talk nonsense to you. Hand over Enzo and the few young people you just kidnapped! By doing this, you have violated the laws of our empire! Who gave you the right to stay on the territory of our empire?
The right to arrest people randomly?”
Hatu still smiled easily. He shook his head gently and sighed softly.
"The gods have given us the power to judge heretics and evil. Those young people have fallen. They are guilty of original sin. They are sinners, so they will be sent to the stake!" He squinted at the angry Stan.
Well, Hatu smiled lightly: "As for the laws of the Gallic Empire? Mr. Stein, divine power is higher than imperial power. This is the supreme law recognized by all countries in the continent!"
The scepter in his hand hit the ground heavily, and Hattu shouted sternly: "Catch heretics and judge sinners. This is the power given to us by the gods! What power does your Gallic Empire have to prevent us from exercising the sacred authority given by the gods? Is it possible?
Your Gallic Empire is already a fallen and heretic country, do you want to blaspheme the glory of the gods?"
Stan was so angry that the pores all over his body were spitting out streams of fiery breath.
The Punishment Knights suddenly went out in large numbers to arrest Lin Qi. As a result, half of the imperial capital was in a mess, and the university town was even more destroyed! The church attacked Lin Qi for no reason, which Stain could not accept!
What's even more outrageous is that Lin Qi escaped, and Cardinal Tulu actually threatened His Majesty the Emperor in person, using a condescending "command" tone to order the Emperor to help the church arrest Lin Qi! A magic stick actually dared to threaten him.
The Emperor of the Empire! Stein, who was loyal to Saint Louis XIII, was really furious!
It's just that Lin Qi escaped without a trace, and nearly a thousand people of the Punishment Knights were killed. When Stan heard the news, he was as happy as eating a big bowl of rock sugar water in the summer. But he was still perfunctory here.
As for the "Capture Lin Qi" who filled the streets with people, the Inquisition of the Holy Glory Cathedral Inquisition actually sent people to go straight to the Army Academy and captured Enzo and the Seven Swordsmen in Blood back to the Holy Glory Cathedral.
At that time, Vic happened to be informing Enzo, and Vic was also arrested!
Not to mention that Enzo and Vic are both close friends of Lin Qi, just say that these people from the church violently broke into the Army Academy to arrest people without saying hello to the empire! You have taken away the dignity of the imperial family, you have taken advantage of the imperial family.
Where is your dignity?
Enzo and the others are still reservists of the empire. Even if the church wants to arrest people, you can only apply to the imperial ministry, and the military department will ask Enzo and others to cooperate with the investigation. In Stein's view, the church arrests people openly.
, this is a naked provocation to the empire.
Stain was so angry that he raised his sword.
"Archbishop Hattu, hand over the soldiers of my Gallic Empire! This is an ultimatum!"
Stain's eyes flashed with ferocious blood! He, the Blood Lion General Stain, is a soldier, not a politician! So he has no fear of the power of the church! Isn't it just a religious war? The Gallic Empire has had hundreds of years of continental and island wars
Everything has been overcome, and the Gallic Empire is now stronger and richer than thirty years ago. What's the point of another religious war?
"Hand over the soldiers of our empire! Or else!"
Stein raised his left hand and clenched his fist hard.
With a loud bang, the 13,000 heavy infantrymen of the Beast Blood Legion who formed a charge formation simultaneously raised their three-meter long spears. They breathed deeply, and gradually everyone followed Stan.
En's breathing frequency was inhaling and inhaling, and more than 10,000 people were breathing at the same frequency. It was like an ancient giant beast suddenly descended on the world, and a scalp-numbing evil aura gradually enveloped the Holy Glory Cathedral.
Bishop Hatu was sitting on the wax, and he looked at Stan helplessly. Those scarlet eyes exuded a murderous aura. He could see that if he didn't hand over the people, Stan would definitely have the courage to attack the Saint.
Hui Cathedral.
But if someone is handed over, how is that possible? The order to arrest people was conveyed directly from the upper echelons of the church. Although Bishop Hattu seems to have a high position, he is not a big shot in the church.
Taking a deep breath, Bishop Hattu raised the scepter in his hand: "Your Excellency Stein, please bring your soldiers back."
Before he finished speaking, Stan had already stepped into the Holy Brilliance Barrier. He struck Bishop Hatu with a sword in the head and yelled, "Fuck you!"
Bishop Hattu was stunned by a harsh word. When had he ever been insulted like this? He wanted to say something to refute Stein, but Stein's sword had already struck his head. Bishop Hattu instinctively shrank down.
He rolled backwards in embarrassment.
With a 'chirp' sound, the tip of Stein's sword tore Bishop Hatu's back open, leaving a long and deep bloody gash on his back, which almost chopped Bishop Hatu into two pieces.
As soon as Stan made his move, the soldiers behind him immediately dispatched at the same time. Thirteen thousand heavy armored infantry rumbled into the holy barrier. Dozens of crossbows roared and fired huge crossbow arrows, and the sniper crossbows were locked.
Those clergymen were dead, and just waiting for someone to show up would be enough to inspire them with an arrow.
Since the establishment of the Holy Glory Cathedral, this is the first time that non-Church soldiers have set foot on this place of refuge for the gods.
