Bright Era

In the middle of Shenghui Avenue, on Shenghui Mountain, Shenghui Cathedral is like a giant dragon entrenched on the mountain, overlooking most of the imperial capital. This white rocky mountain is said to have been pulled from the ground by the gods. There are mostly plains and hills near the imperial capital. Only Shenghui Mountain is so high that it really looks like a miracle.

Shenghui Cathedral is on Shenghui Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, layer upon layer of halls are piled up, and countless corridors and walkways connect the upper and lower halls. The Shenghui Cathedral at the highest point of the hill is even more splendid. It is a magnificent building that can accommodate up to 10,000 people at the same time praying to the gods.

The square main body of the church stands on top of twelve towering spires. Because of the blessing of the permanent magical circle, the whole pale golden Shenghui Cathedral always releases a circle of golden light , This circle of light enveloped the entire Shenghui Mountain, which is also the first barrier of Shenghui Cathedral-Shenghui Enchantment.

This enchantment wraps the sky and the ground near Shenghui Mountain, and even the underground is wrapped by the enchantment. Unless it is a recognized priest, anyone who steps into the Shenghui barrier will be ruthlessly hit by a powerful attack on the magical technique.

On weekdays, Shenghui Cathedral is located at the foot of the mountain. People come and go, and many believers and clergy come in and out.

But today the atmosphere here is extremely tense. Tens of thousands of soldiers in heavy armor blocked the entrance of Shenghui Cathedral, and the houses of several wealthy families nearby were even erected with powerful crossbows. Thousands of warriors armed with sniper crossbows were hidden in the bushes and corners of the house. Their eyes fixed on a group of priests standing in the Shenghui enchantment.

The sky is already dark, but here is densely covered with lanterns and torches, and dozens of light clusters made by magical arts are suspended high in the sky, illuminating the light as bright as day. Thousands of clergymen stood near the entrance, led by a red archbishop wearing a red coat and holding a scepter.

The presiding chapel of the Holy Splendor Cathedral is the Cardinal Tulu, the archbishop of the red crown. Under him, assisting him to manage the entire Holy Splendor Cathedral are three cardinals. In the establishment of the church, the cardinals are the administrators of the dioceses at the provincial level of each country. They are not only high in status, but also extremely strong in personal strength.

The cardinal in front of him is the bishop of the scepter Hatto, one of the three archbishops of Tulu. The bishop of the scepter is responsible for the daily work of the entire Saint-Fei Cathedral, such as administration, logistics, document exchanges, and cooperation with Gaul. The official contact of the empire and so on, all of this is in charge of the bishop of the scepter Hatu.

A gust of wind blew suddenly from a distance, and Bishop Hatu, who was holding a scepter, had long gray hair that was blown into the wind. He squinted his eyes and looked at Stan standing outside the holy barrier, suddenly revealing a trace. Smile: "Your Excellency Stein, this is the place where the gods are shrouded in glory. Please also take your men to leave. Is the Gaul Empire going to war with the believers of the gods?"

Wearing a set of blood-colored heavy armor, holding a heavy horse-cutting sword in both hands, with the tip of the sword stuck to the ground, Stan stared at Bishop Hatu with a gloomy face, and suddenly spit heavily on the ground.

"Stop talking nonsense, you know what I'm here for. Hand over Enzo and the others, otherwise..."

With a random wave of his right hand, the heavy horse-cutting sword whizzed through the air with a blow, and a sword aura shot out, splitting a sword mark one inch wide and several feet long on the ground. The ground here is covered with extremely hard granite. Stan can cause such damage with a single blow, showing how powerful his strength is.

Hatu smiled easily, he shook his head gently.

"This is the place where the glory of the gods is shrouded, Lord Stern, are you demonstrating to us? You use weapons on the land of the gods. Do you want to declare war on the church on behalf of the Gaul Empire? But do you have the qualifications? ?"

Hatu's words are very arrogant, and they have been arrogant to the bone. Even if there were only more than a thousand clergy standing behind him, even if Stern brought tens of thousands of heavy infantry, and there were a large number of soldiers hiding behind him in the dark, Hattu didn't treat Stern as a thing.

If Stein dared to attack the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, then it would mean that the Gaul Empire declared war on the church. There is no doubt that the church will mobilize all its power to initiate a religious war against the Gaul Empire. But Hatu looked down on Stein at all. He was an admiral of the Gaul Empire and a hereditary Marquis. Do you have the qualifications to represent the Gaul Empire?

Yun Danfeng smiled lightly, Hatu squinted his eyes and shook his head: "Your Excellency Stein, take the soldiers back to the camp. You are not qualified to express any personal opinions in a place where the glory of the gods is shrouded! This is the crowd. In the realm of God, if you want to do something, let His Majesty Saint Louis XIII come here in person!"

Stan's eyes were red with anger, and a bruise on his forehead suddenly violent.

"Hatu, I will not talk nonsense with you, hand over Enzo, and the young people who were kidnapped by you just now! You have violated the laws of our empire by doing so! Who gave you on the territory of our empire? Right to arrest people indiscriminately?"

Hatu still laughed very easily, he shook his head gently, and sighed gently.

"The gods have given us the power to judge heretics and evil. Those young people have fallen. They are guilty of original sins. They are sinners, so they will be sent to the torture frame!" Squinted his eyes and looked at the angry Stan. Well, Hatu smiled lightly: "As for the law of the Gaul Empire? Lord Stein, theocratic power is higher than the imperial power. This is the supreme law recognized by the mainland countries!"

With the scepter in his hand hitting the ground heavily, Hatu sternly shouted: "Catch heretics and judge sinners. This is the power given to us by the gods! What power does your Gaul Empire have to prevent us from exercising the sacred powers given by the gods? Your Gaul Empire is already a fallen heresy, do you want to blaspheme the glory of the gods?"

Stan was so angry that his pores were emitting fiery breaths.

The Knights of Punishment suddenly made a big move to arrest Lin Qi, and as a result, half of the capital was a mess, and the university town was even more ruined! The church's attack on Lin Qi for no reason has made Stern unacceptable!

What's even more outrageous is that Lin Qi fled. Cardinal Tulu, the archbishop of the red crown, actually threatened His Majesty the emperor face to face, ordering the emperor to help the church arrest Lin Qi with that condescending tone of ‘command’! A **** stick, dare to threaten the emperor of the empire! Stan, who was loyal to Saint Louis XIII, was really outraged!

It's just that Lin Qi escaped without a trace, and the Knights of Retribution had killed nearly a thousand people. Stan heard the news as if he had eaten a large bowl of rock sugar water in summer. But here he is still perfunctory and carrying the crowded'Capture Lin Qi', the religious court of Shenghui Cathedral Inquisition actually sent people to the Army Academy and captured Enzo and the Seven Swordsmen in Blood. Fai Cathedral.

At that time Vic was just telling Enzo, and Vic was also taken away!

Not to mention that Enzo and Vick are Lin Qi's best friends, just that these people in the church did not say hello to the empire and violently broke into the Army Academy to arrest people! You put the dignity of the imperial royal family, where do you put the dignity of the imperial military?

Enzo and the others are also reserve soldiers in the Empire. Even if your church wants to arrest people, you can only apply to the Imperial Military Department, and the military department requires Enzo and others to cooperate in the investigation. In Stein's view, the church's arresting people is a naked provocation to the empire.

Stan was so angry that he raised the horse-cutting sword in his hand.

"Archbishop Hatu, hand over the soldiers of my Gaul Empire! This is an ultimatum!"

There was a fierce blood in Stan's eyes! He, Blood Lion General Stein is a soldier, he is not a politician! So he has no fear of the power of the church! Isn't it a religious war? The Gaul Empire has even survived a hundred years of land-island war. Now the Gaul Empire is stronger and richer than it was 30 years ago. What is another religious war?

"Hand over the soldiers of our empire! Otherwise!"

Stan raised his left hand, and he clenched his fist hard.

With a loud bang, the 13,000 heavy infantry of the Beast Blood Legion in a charge formation simultaneously raised the three-meter-long stabbing gun. They breathed in a deep breath. Gradually everyone followed Stein's breathing rate. More than 10,000 people breathed at the same rate. It was like an ancient behemoth suddenly came to the world, making the scalp numb. The evil spirit gradually enveloped Shenghui Cathedral.

Bishop Hatu was sitting on the wax, he looked at Stan a little helplessly. Those scarlet eyes exuded a threatening murderous aura, and he could see that if he didn't hand over the people, Stan would definitely have the courage to attack Shenghui Cathedral.

But if you hand over someone, how can that be possible? The order to arrest people is directly communicated from the upper echelons of the church. Don’t look at Bishop Hatu’s seemingly high authority, but in the church, he is not a big figure?

Taking a deep breath, Bishop Hatu raised the scepter in his hand: "Your Excellency Stein, please also bring your soldiers back."

Before he could finish his words, Stein had already stepped into the Shenghui enchantment. He slashed at Bishop Hatu with a sharp sword, yelling ‘fuck you mother’!

A vulgar word stunned Bishop Hatu. When has he been insulted so much? He wanted to say something to refute Stan, but Stan's sword had already been smashed. Bishop Hatu shrank down instinctively, and rolled back embarrassedly.

With a ‘chuck’, Stein’s sword tore off Bishop Hatu’s back, leaving a long and deep blood hole on his back, almost cutting Bishop Hatu into two pieces.

As soon as Stan started, the soldiers behind him immediately moved out at the same time. 13,000 heavy-armored infantry rushed into the Shenghui enchantment rumblingly. Dozens of bed crossbows roared and shot out huge crossbow arrows. The sniper crossbows even locked the clergymen to death. Arrow excited.

Since the establishment of Shenghui Cathedral, for the first time, non-church soldiers stepped onto this sanctuary of gods. (To be continued.
