This can't be called a war at all...し0.【phoenix/phoenix/Please search】This can only be said to be a massacre.
For some unknown reason, on the day before the God of Contract launched the war, all the priests of Tire with holy orders below the level of bishop lost their ability to cast spells.
The divine grace in their bodies still remains, but no matter how they are used, it will only be wasted and cannot have any effect. Once used, these divine graces will no longer be replenished.
In other words, priests who have reached the silver level can still save them. At least the effects of their divine spells are not weakened.
But their divine grace is still used up a little bit. No matter how much they pray, the divine grace will never be restored.
As a result, these Tire priests immediately realized that something had really happened in Tire.
Without the protection of Tyr, they were even more vulnerable than the most immature lambs in front of La's group of sophisticated killing machines.
After all, Tyr is not Sivir.
Even if Tire's priests can use long swords and stabbing swords, they only know how to use the holy sword with the blessing of Tire's magic and holy fire. Once the magic and holy fire are lost, what is left is just a beautiful display.
Realizing that they were in a bad situation, some of the more alert people immediately took off their robes and left the church to hide in the homes of believers with whom they had a good relationship; but there were still some pastors who stubbornly decided not to flinch and just continued to work every day. Silently kneeling in front of the icon of Tire, praying quietly, and devoutly waiting for Tire's return.
After all, mercenaries cannot break their contracts.
A long time ago, when Tire first established its dominance, these gods who are now present have sworn an oath. They promised never to attack Tire's priests first, never to rob Tire's sacrifices, and never to destroy Tire again. The parish encouraged them to worship other gods.
That's it for other gods. But only Ra's followers cannot break the oath they swore.
Yes, Tire is indeed in a rare unfavorable situation now. But precisely because it was the God of Contract who initiated the war first, Tire's priests are not really in a hurry.
It's nothing more than seizing land and plundering faith. Mercenaries can't do it themselves. The most they can do is imprison and persecute the priests who belong to Tire. Because they were the first to initiate the war and seize the territory. After that, other gods realized After the existence of this cake, maybe they will in turn protect their city for the priests of Tire.
You know, they are mercenaries. They are enthusiastic parties that people trust and exist to help others.
It is precisely because of this that even the group of pastors who thought the situation was not good only left the temple, but did not leave the city where their church was located.
If they leave here, where else can they go? Their roots are here. If they leave here, they are just priests, and no one knows them. Only in their own church, they are priests and Tire The evangelist is the impartial judge that people think of first when they encounter problems.
But then, something no one expected happened
Accompanying the arrival of the mercenaries were a group of spellcasters wielding dirty and sticky dark red flames, hiding in dark red flame-patterned robes.
With the mercenaries silently opening the way and acquiescing, the spellcasters accurately pulled out every hiding priest in the crowd. Without caring about the safety of the people around them, they brandished sticky and dirty poisonous fire and burned them directly in the street. Death. The priests hiding in private houses did not end well either. They did not try to enter the houses, but as if they could see the priests, they locked the door directly outside the house and set them and the house on fire.
Afterwards, they burst into the temple singing hymns praising the Father of Gaia and waving blazing flames that turned everything into ashes.
They laughed wildly as they tied up the priests and nuns, cut open their stomachs with ceremonial knives, and then squatted there in ecstasy watching the intestines slowly flow out. It was not until the victims' wails and screams gradually subsided that they cheered and killed them.
Their entrails were taken out and smashed on the sacred images that were thrown into Tire.
The mighty brass statue of Tyr holding a sword was stained with thick blood, and half of his intestines could even be seen hanging on the sword that Tyr raised slightly, making the smile on the corner of Tyr's mouth look extremely ferocious and cruel.
They are the Embers. They were one of the cultists who were once vigorously suppressed by Tyr and Sivir.
The Embers are cultists who are enemies of all gods.
They believe that there should not be any clear beliefs in the world, let alone a government. They advocate that there should not be any contractual relationships between people, including marriage relationships, that there should be no private property in the world, and that all human beings should be a collective
, all human beings should abandon all sensual pleasures and strive for progress for the sake of human evolution.
There is no cruelty or blasphemy in the dictionary of the Embers. In their theory, they do not feel happy about killing a person, which means that they are not killing this person for their own benefit.
For a time, screams, groans and curses spread throughout the church. Amidst the increasingly louder singing of the Ashmen, the blazing firelight reflected the stereotyped faces of the mercenaries who had been silent.
They still obeyed the contract.
They did not attack the priests of Tire or rob the sacrifices belonging to Tire. They just followed behind and picked up the ownerless treasures on the altars that were burned by the Ashes. They would be killed by the Ashes.
The gold ornaments on the priest's body were solemnly removed.
The money they squeeze out of any temple is comparable to the entire wealth of a well-off country noble.
Looking at these golden things placed in front of them, looking at their golden brilliance shining under the firelight, the dim yellow firelight gradually reflected in their pupils.
The gains in just one day are comparable to the gains made by the mercenaries in the past three years. Moreover, there is no need to take action or take any risks. The only thing that needs to be adapted is the abuse of others.
Yes, it is only now that these mercenaries realize how shallow they were in the past.
Dedicate yourself to the joy and happiness of others? Don’t be silly, what does that bring to them?
They also have wives and children. They also need life, food, white bread, wine and meat. They need money to maintain the stability of their families.
Yes, their children have been respected by others since they were young. But then again, what does that bring to them?
Will respect allow them to have enough to eat? Will it allow them to enter the temple of Ra directly? Will respect alone allow others to marry their daughters to them?
So, don't be stupid.
People always need to live.
When they help a young man confess his love to the girl he has been in love with for a long time, they may wear a green hat because they have not been home for a long time.
While they were risking their lives to eliminate the negative influence of a certain gang in the city, their wives and daughters were being cared for by the avengers because of their reckless actions.
When they accidentally fell off a cliff while helping a villager find a lost sheep, their wives and children would not receive any compensation.
By the way, if he accidentally kills the sheep, according to the contract, they will have to pay a sum of money to the villagers.
Even if they complete their tasks, fulfill their mission, and satisfy others, what will they gain?
Nothing. Except for a meaningless thank you. Except for the respect of ordinary people.
And if they fail in the task, their children will indeed be taken care of by others. But if you think about it carefully, do their children want this kind of care? Sacrifice their own parents in exchange for one that may make their peers jealous
, and there is no decisive care?
"Don't be stupid..."
They have been taking the risks of the most dangerous profession in the world and wasting a lot of time, but in the end the money they earned was only enough to provide basic food and clothing for a family of three?
Yes! Because the Gods of Contract themselves are not rich, they cannot even afford to raise one more child. Or in other words, how can they have a second child when they are away from home all year round?
When their children were young, they had no time to accompany them; when their children were older, they no longer knew them.
How many mercenaries have gone home to see the wary and frightened eyes of their children?
In this darkest age, they are doing jobs that even people in peaceful times cannot persist with.
Finally, now, their pope could no longer hold on.
After La launched a declaration of war against Tire and repeatedly stated that "by any means necessary" and "all gains are personal gains", these mercenaries finally went crazy.
Their Pope had a friendly contact with the leader of the Ashes, and the cooperation content was simply and clearly agreed upon: We will open the way, you kill, we will take the money, and you will take your life.
In theory, mercenaries can team up with anyone and seek help from anyone in order to complete the task.
Because of the reputation of mercenaries, people from any camp are likely to become friends with them. No one will try to attack a mercenary first. As long as they make a contract, even strangers will become comrades who can be trusted to support them.
But now, everything is ruined.
Today's mercenaries have lost their glory.
After tasting the sweetness, they finally realized that they could ask for more money for the same task.
The cracks in their chainmails were full of jewelry and gold and silver coins, and they looked at others as if wondering how much money they could exchange for them.
Three days is enough time for them, who have lived a hard life, to buy a piece of land and live a comfortable and nourishing life. Their children can eat meat as much as they want, and they do not need to be exposed to wind or sun.
You can live very comfortably.
More importantly, what they did was all permitted by the gods. They did not attack anyone. What they did was just turning a blind eye, and no one could say that they were unjust.
It is very difficult to gain trust, but extremely easy to destroy it.
From people's warm welcome, to angry scolding, to fearful escape, it only took less than a day.
They have become wild dogs of war that anyone can kill as long as they have money.
But the strange thing is that the reputation of the God of Contract, who plundered the wealth of the entire Temple of Tire with lightning speed, has developed at an unimaginable speed. Gradually, people joined their team, and those thieves and killers joined the mercenaries one after another.
Go in the team.
And La didn't know what went wrong, or he decided to stay in the dark and no longer care about maintaining his reputation. Instead, he directly performed miracles and transformed all these people into priests.
Realizing that something was not right, the pastor of Tire expressed his loyalty to Bantha officials without hesitation, hoping to gain their protection.
But their request did not receive any response. The Queen's silence and the inactivity of the armies everywhere made them gradually feel cold.
After the first bishop angrily went to the city guards to argue, and was completely angered by the military's rather casual attitude, and started fighting, one more unit participated in the robbery. Although in theory it was "some insufficient"
"The behavior of individuals in the local garrison who were dispassionate and biased against Tyre", but no one ever tried to express dissatisfaction with the matter against the opinions of three gods and one country.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
After all, Tire is too rich and too united. They are richer than the Queen of Bansa, and they are united to the point that everyone must pay attention to them.
The Ashes are from the outside to the inside, and the military is from the inside to the outside. Everyone is taking advantage of the precious opportunity of Tire's loss of power to rob them of the wealth they have accumulated over the past millennium, and is ready to beat them to death with a stick, never to be seen again.
Give Thiel a chance to make a comeback.
Therefore, they were particularly ruthless. If Sivir had not withdrawn in advance, even if Sivir was added who could use divine magic, he would not have been able to survive the hostility of the three gods and a queen for too long.
Finally, on the third day of the massacre, which was also the eighth day of the ring ceremony, this group of crazy war dogs reached Frankfurt.
When they looked at this holy city, the light in their eyes was no longer full of admiration and admiration, nor was it solemn. Their only thought was, how much money can be spent in this city?
Yes, they plundered some money. But it was only a small amount.
That is the personal savings of some priests or bishops in local temples, and at most it is the savings of several generations.
But Frankfurt is different.
This holy city, the city of miracles, the thousand-year city, is the oldest city that has existed since the birth of Tire and continues to exist to this day.
All the wealth Tire had accumulated over the millennia was inside.
It is said that that is a huge wealth enough to buy two banthas.
Not only were the mercenaries squatting outside the city like wild dogs that had seen bones, with green eyes in their eyes, but also some regular soldiers took off the insignia of their troops and were waiting outside the city fully armed.
None of the equipment was taken off. He was just standing outside openly.
There were 48,000 people in total. They immediately surrounded the entire Holy City.
No one doubts whether the Holy City will survive after today.
It was over before the final war started. (To be continued.)
