Chapter 1180: The Archbishop of the Undead is Missing, the Demigod, the Sun King, and His Life
When the Holy War Army retreated from Sylvania, there was an unbreakable gloom in everyone's hearts.
Cardinal Alfred's whole body was soaked by the rain. He held his war hammer and walked alone on the poor land of Stirland, thinking about what else he could do.
At the Battle of Templehof, the Crusaders faced off against the undead army of the necromancer Hermann Goost. Archbishop Wickmar used all his energy to burn a third of Goost's army with a single move of the God-given Soul Flame.
1. Then the Archbishop personally stood on the altar of war and launched an attack on the undead army. Ghost was unable to withstand such a fatal power of faith in the Archbishop, and was defeated, heading towards Sylvania as planned.
The archbishop immediately ordered a pursuit. At this time, many people tried to persuade Vicmar, saying that there was most likely an ambush ahead. However, the archbishop simply told everyone, "I know there is a very likely ambush, but so what?"
Shouldn't Sylvania be purified? Shouldn't we be ambushed if we stay where we are?
Don’t you have confidence in this holy war? Are you afraid of Manfred and his undead army?
After saying this, it was hard for everyone to try to persuade him again, because if he tried to persuade him again, he would be suspected of being a liaison with foreign countries and colluding with the undead.
The Jihadi Army broke up camp on the spot and marched forcefully into the hinterland of Sylvania.
Alfred thought to himself about this wave, this wave is about touching the grass with his face.
The Cardinal had always fought many battles with Ryan. Alfred was really not used to Vicmar's fierce fighting methods, but the Archbishop insisted on having his own way, so he had no choice but to keep up.
The Battle of Mikalsdorf began, and the Crusaders rushed into Manfred's pocket formation almost immediately.
Fortunately, because Ghost was defeated too quickly, Manfred's pocket formation was not fully prepared yet. During the sudden advance of the Crusaders, the two sides began to exchange fire, and the Archbishop was the first to charge.
A few hours later, the first wave of imperial reinforcements arrived. Gentle's Reik Guards and Knight Richter Weismond of the Griffin Knights arrived. The undead army's pocket formation was rushed away, and Manfred
Red had to invest more reserve troops.
Alfred once thought that this holy victory was won. The cardinal burst out with his final strength and called on the soldiers to continue fighting, until he saw with his own eyes that a legendary Nether Engine named "Hand of Nagash" was destroyed.
Manfred ordered the troops to enter the battlefield.
The Cardinal saw with his own eyes that the Light Archmage Jovi the Sundiver tried to use the power of the Light Magic Vehicle to destroy the Hand of Nagash. After two launches, he almost succeeded. The Necromancers tried to kill the Sundiver.
Qiao Wei couldn't help it, but several tomb guards took the opportunity to kill the apprentice who assisted the bright wizard in casting the spell. The bright wizard was killed by the magic backlash on the spot.
The moment Jovi died, his soul broke out of his body and turned into an angel, flying towards the Nether Engine, trying to die in the hands of Nagash. Alfred was sure that Jovi failed, because not long after the angel exploded,
The Nether Engine regained its combat capability.
The second person to die in the battle was the half-griffon knight captain Richter Weismond, who was chopped into two pieces by Manfred.
Then there was the legendary master witcher Alberich von Korden. This master witcher faced off against Hermann Goost. After a long battle, he was ultimately defeated by the necromancer and was defeated.
Ghost's poison is overpowering, but
At the last moment, Von Corden pierced Ghost with his silver sword, and then stuffed his fist into Ghost's mouth. The light of exile in the magic ring given by the Great Wizard of Light was activated at close range. Von Corden
Died together with Gosit.
Alfred finally vaguely saw the Archbishop and Manfred fighting on the War Altar. Although there was no winner between the two sides, it seemed that the Archbishop had the upper hand. The great chanter Kaslan used Soul Flame and Searing Gaze to kill him.
A bloodthirsty ghost was attacked and beaten to death by the other two.
The Jihadi Army finally couldn't hold on anymore and began to collapse. Alfred was trapped by the defeated army and could no longer see anything.
It seemed that this holy war was about to fail, the empire was about to be doomed, and when Manfred was about to usher in the final victory, the Elweland army of the Elector Marius and the Solland army of Gelt arrived, and the Great Alchemist
Seeing such a scene, he immediately decided to use the highest divine skill Luo Jia had given him - Luo Jia's Great Wall of Faith.
Miracle! When Alfred saw the golden Great Wall rising tens of meters high, everyone shouted that this was a miracle, Charlemagne bless us!
The undead lost control one after another, and those who were close to the Golden Great Wall were melted by the power of faith contained in it and turned into ashes.
The morale of the Crusaders was restored, and they repelled Manfred and his undead army in one fell swoop.
Facing the undead, the Empire once again triumphed.
Holy War! We won! While the Cardinal was still celebrating victory with his men, bad news came.
Archbishop Vekmar is missing.
The light rain was still falling. The spring rain was originally the most nourishing and precious. The Imperial Army should have been rejoicing after winning the victory, but Alfred and everyone in the church could not be happy.
The great mage of light, Sundiver Jovi, died in battle, the master of demon hunter Von Corden died in battle, and the half-griffon knight captain Vismond died in battle. These are nothing. The worst thing is that Archbishop Vicmar is missing.
.
At this time, the most serious disagreements appeared in the Holy War Army. Elector Marius and Alfred both advocated an immediate march, but as the only remaining great chanter of the Church of Justice, Esme III had different views.
Grand Master Esme III believes that we have eliminated the threat of the undead and it is time to withdraw our troops.
In the absence of Vicmar, Esme III automatically acted as archbishop. He made a decision, even if Alfred and others objected, it was useless.
To make matters worse, the Holy War was originally made up of several armies. Without the prestige and arbitrariness of Vikma, the Holy War had fallen apart. Esme III, the only one who could persist in this holy war, chose to give up.
The acting archbishop gave up, and Marius and Geert had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
The rain hit Alfred's robe, and Alfred looked very ugly. The cardinal could vaguely understand the reason why Esme III gave up.
The sound of metal colliding came, and the great alchemist Galt appeared beside Alfred. The cardinal knew it was Galt without raising his head. He said angrily: "What's the matter? My great alchemist.
?”
"You just gave up like this?" Galt was a little unhappy: "The undead have not really been defeated. Ryan asked you to come here to solve the problem, not to let you follow the crowd."
"The moment Esme III rode into the Jihadist camp and announced to all the soldiers and mercenaries that we have won, the Jihad is over, and you can all receive your military pay and go home, the war began.
It is impossible to continue fighting." Alfred smiled bitterly, and the cardinal shook his head: "This move is powerful. Look at the soldiers of the Jihad Army and the mercenaries, who wants to continue fighting? I do want to fight.
, is it useful?”
"Our archbishop has cultivated a very good heir." Galt's tone was calm. The great alchemist really wanted to fight, but he could only admit that Esme III's move was too much.
Awesome.
The formation of the Jihad Army itself has nothing to do with interests, it is just a slogan of the Holy War. The church army comes for the faith, the mercenaries come for the salary, and as for the secular army? It is nothing more than an order from the palace.
Now that Esme III has announced that the Holy War is victorious, the war is over, and military pay has been fully paid, who still wants to continue fighting? Who is still willing to continue fighting? Alfred? Are you the acting archbishop or is he the acting archbishop?
"..." Alfred was silent. Archbishop Vicmar was too strong. He was obviously good at fighting and good governance, but he obviously lacked friends. Archbishop often did not need a friend to fight side by side. What he needed more was a mentor.
As a string puppet, Alfred immediately entrusted him with important tasks as soon as he thought he was useful. However, the little girl's slightest disobedience was scolded and slapped, and Alfred even doubted that if he didn't have Ryan
Backstage, he might...
Speaking of which, in addition to Archbishop Wakema, the senior leaders of the Church of Justice, including myself, are actually...
Alfred was still thinking about it when Esme III, the great chanter who had just taken over as the acting archbishop, came to the door. He was a strong and elegant bald-headed great chanter. He wore a peripheral
With a spiked headband, Esme III glanced at Galt: "Hello, Great Alchemist."
"Hello." Gelt knew that Esme III had something to say to Alfred, so he had to leave temporarily.
"Hello, Great Singer." Alfred looked at Esme III who was suppressing his emotions and trying to keep his face calm. He felt disgusted in his heart and kept his face polite: "What do you do for me?"
"Cardinal Alfred, everyone is very sad that something like this happened. The disappearance of the Archbishop is a great loss to the cause of the Just Church. No one wants to see such a disaster, but our glorious cause must
Continue, and the church should not stop functioning because of this." Esme III said sincerely.
Said: "Now, His Majesty Vicmar is missing, it is very likely that something unexpected happened, and the great chanter Kaslan died in the battle. I reluctantly had to be appointed as the acting archbishop. Doesn't this mean that the original three great chanters
Are both positions of scribes vacant except for Casmir IX in Nuer? This is not possible."
After saying that, Esme III even squeezed out a few tears, and the acting archbishop spoke with a tearful tone: "Your Majesty Vicmar, my Majesty, you have suffered so much in your 79 years of reign.
I'm tired, and now I'm missing like this. You have entrusted me with this extremely heavy task. How can Esme III be able to bear it?"
Before Alfred could reply, Esme III suddenly stopped crying and said to Alfred seriously: "Afu, I'll call you that, you have been in the church for more than forty years.
, it’s time to add some responsibilities. We, the cardinals, decided at a meeting that you will replace Kaslan, who died in the battle, and assume the position of grand chanter! From today on, you will be one of the three great chanters of the Church of Justice.
Got it!"
"I..." Alfred was stunned, and the cardinal opened his mouth, thinking how could I, a country bumpkin paladin from Nord thirty years ago, become the third highest ranking person in the Church of Justice after the archbishop?
What about one of the great chanters?
The acting archbishop did not give Alfred any chance, and the appointment was made immediately.
Before the cardinal even had time to recite two ancient maxims, Alfred, the new grand cantor, had already appeared.
…………I am the dividing line for you to become the great chanter……
Just when the Jihadi Army withdrew from Sylvania, Britannia, Mousilon, and the Palace of Fontainebleau.
Sun King Ryan is retreating in the training room.
Six colorful flames are rotating around Ryan, four of which are the power of the Terrorist Mir, Nurgle and Slaanesh. These four subspace sources have now been purified by Ryan, and the pure power is being gradually absorbed by Ryan.
Inhaled into the body.
These four sefirot not only represent the hatred and anger of Khorne, the conspiracy and plans of Tzeentch, the disease and despair of Nurgle, and the indulgence and depravity of Slaanesh, but they also represent positive things.
Tzeentch may be a cunning and cruel conspirator, but he also represents the power of progress, a beacon of hope and a symbol of reform. For example, Lane's serf reform and the free people's reform not only brought the Kingdom of Knights out of the quagmire, but also meant that
This is Tzeentch's blessing, yes, that's right.
Nurgle symbolizes eternal decay, despair and stupidity, but can also symbolize equality, resilience, unity, security and comfort for all living beings.
Khorne symbolizes ruthlessness, anger, hatred and killing, but Khorne also symbolizes justice, strength, revenge and glory. Yes, Khorne is not fair, but he is just. Khorne is the fittest to a certain extent.
The representative of survival, only with power can we defeat the enemy, revenge and protect ourselves. This is Khorne.
Slaanesh, addicts, desire, pride and self-indulgence, but Slaanesh is also the god of joy, nature, joy, and pleasure. As long as mortals still have physiological needs and yearning for beauty, Slaanesh will always be able to get enough energy.
Therefore, as Malcador said, completely defeating Chaos is a false proposition.
Assuming that all mortals die, Chaos will definitely be weakened, but they will still exist, because Chaos can still maintain its existence and source of power through the Great Game (the crazy four gods in the Chaos Realm).
On the contrary, if Chaos really perishes, mortals in the entire universe will also lose all emotional fluctuations, whether they are good, bad, terrible, positive or negative, they will all cease to exist.
That is, after the entropy increases to a certain level, the entire universe will fall into deathly silence.
Ryan slowly absorbed the power of the four gods, and the original Gray Knight could feel that the realm of the demigods was becoming thinner.
In addition, the power of several incarnations of elven gods is being accepted into Ryan's body.
That was everything Morgul once devoured. Ryan obtained the essence of these elven gods. Their consciousness had long been obliterated in endless painful torture, but there was still something left.
More importantly, Ryan got the "key", which is the ticket to the Elf God System. After getting this, he was accepted and entered the Elf God System.
The elven gods are divided into the heavenly gods and the underground gods. While absorbing power, Ryan separated part of his consciousness and explored the two major gods.
At the end of the day, what are the two major elven gods doing?
Ryan first found the two most familiar forces. Lilith was hiding in her own kingdom of God, fiddling with something. Far away from her, the High Elf Shadow King Aris-Anar was offering a gift.
The last fragment.
It’s Lilith’s Star Crown! This ancient artifact is about to be restored!
The screen flashed, and the new pale queen Orika was leading the army of dark elves to set off. The goddess of the underworld was all focused on the powerful enemy in front of her, and the chaos demon had appeared in the mortal world.
Where is the main god? Ryan continued to investigate, and the first thing he found was the forest god king Kunos. He had descended on Orion as an incarnation and was resting in the King's Forest.
Where are Asuryan and Kain? When Ryan focused his attention on the two god kings of the Heavenly God System and the Underground God System, Ryan was surprised to find that Asuryan and Kain were actually in the same place!
In the ancient battlefield in the void, Asuryan and Kane were dueling. The power of the Phoenix Fire and the Blood Pool of Hell exploded at the same time. The Phoenix Lord's Phoenix Blade pierced Kane's chest, and the Bloody Hand God's
The dimensional sword blade also penetrated Asuyan's neck.
At this time, the two main gods of the elves were actually fighting among themselves?!
Ryan opened his eyes wide, thinking that you really chose the right time!
The original body then sneered: Okay, these are very pointed ears.
Right before the eyes of the original body, the physical bodies of Asuryan and Kain died together, and the divinities and souls of the two elven gods fell into the mortal world along with the two divine weapons.
The Twilight of the Gods, which belongs to the elves and gods, has begun.
