Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 388 The True Face of the Holy See of Light

Chimera was lazily lying on huge bluestones. Its body was bathed in the sun, enjoying the soothing warmth of the sun; its tail was swinging leisurely, as if it contained some kind of natural rhythm. Its head was raised from time to time, curiously looking at the world around it, and its dragon wings were slightly spread out, showing its strength and elegance.

Not far away, the horned eagles quietly perched on tall oak trees, their feathers as smooth as silk, their eyes sharp and intelligent. They flapped their wings gracefully, gently vibrating the air, as if dancing with the wind. Occasionally, they would look down at the Chimera, without a trace of hostility in their eyes.

Although they represent different creatures and powers, at this moment, Chimera and Hippogryph do not invade each other. They jointly guard the land, share food, and even guard and protect each other in the upcoming battle. This is a harmonious scene that transcends race and prejudice, showing the beauty of the symbiosis of different life forms in this alien continent.

Xingluo nodded. He didn't need to worry about these guys. The combined power of the two major races was not as simple as one plus one. Chimeras were against the ground, and hippogryphs were against the air. No matter what kind of troops they encountered, they could deal with it calmly. Except for the dragons, their combination was perfect. And the dragons were also on Xingluo's side. The only Knights of Light that could contend with them were the griffins. But what bothered Xingluo was the number. The Sky City Mercenaries had only 20,000 people, while the Holy See of Light had a million Knights of Light. The disparity in numbers was enough to make people feel suffocated just thinking about it.

Walking through the forest of the garrison, Xingluo saw Xi, who habitually jumped into his arms and lightly swept his cheek with his tail. "The Holy See of Light is coming with great force this time. Do you want to flee in advance? You are all high-end fighters, and it will be difficult to keep you if you want to leave."

Xingluo gently stroked Xi and said, "If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago. Why wait until now? After all, I was born in the Luoshen Empire. Every bit of soil and air here should not be trampled on. In this case, let's fight and make those hypocritical Knights of Light go without return."

Seeing Xingluo's tenacious eyes, Xi said nothing more, and arched his head to Xingluo's chin a few times, found a comfortable position and closed his eyes. Xingluo hugged the cat and said nothing more. At this moment, it seemed as if the world had quieted down, far away from the hustle and bustle before the war.

Xingluo knew that with the current strength of the empire, there was little hope of winning the war, and he didn't want to see this happen. Since the empire allowed them to act freely, he would do his best to do what he could, hoping to add some variables to this war.

Xingluo sighed and said something to Xi. The other party looked serious, meowed, and left the warm embrace.

Xingluo looked at Xi going away for a long time without saying a word. Conventional wars are very long, but this is a world of swords and magic after all, and the Knights of Light are a top force. The war has begun. Xingluo has no time to hesitate. With the Yueyun Intelligence Organization, he has a lot of intelligence. The Knights of Light are like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, trampling wantonly on the territory of the Fallen God Empire. However, the Fallen God Empire is not idle either. The Imperial Lion referred to the suggestions put forward by Xingluo and made slight adjustments based on the actual situation of the empire. As expected, the Knights of Light were delayed. Although it was difficult, a knight who stopped running was much less threatening.

Xingluo held the latest situation of the Knights of Light in his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He knew that his suggestion had worked, but it was not enough. Now the Knights of Light were intact, while the Empire had lost a large piece of territory. The strength of the other side was evident. This situation also made other forces on the continent tremble. They only knew the strength of the Knights of Light before, but did not have too many clear understandings. Now they are afraid, and those who were still on the sidelines have chosen to join the Holy See of Light. For a time, the number of believers of Light skyrocketed, which made the contemporary Pope very satisfied.

The Pope was currently holding a gorgeous scepter inlaid with a huge magic core of light. His eyes were no longer ethereal, but were looking in the direction of the Fallen God Empire. At this moment, he was the Pope of mankind. He wanted to have greater power and more vast lands, and he didn't care even if he had to drag the Holy See of Light onto the chariot. Fortunately, his idea did not conflict with the God of Light's idea of ​​increasing the power of faith.

Everyone has desires, but some people can control small desires and nurture bigger desires. The Pope is one of them. He wants to be the most powerful person in the world.

The Pope looked at the territory of the Fallen God Empire with burning eyes, and his heart was excited. It was about to be realized, so soon, his thoughts grew wildly and uncontrollably.

Now the entire Fallen God Empire has no power to stop the Knights of Light, and the Empire can only delay the Knights of Light temporarily. Even the Pope did not expect this. It seems that not all the people on the Empire's side are incompetent. Since large-scale battles are temporarily unavailable, let's go straight into elite battles. In this regard, the Knights of Light also have an absolute advantage. After all, they have been trying to win over the elite talents of the four great empires. In order to become more powerful, these people are willing to believe in the God of Light in exchange for even more powerful power.

For example, after Xingluo obtains the divine art, he can be improved so much. The truly pious people can even gain more powerful strength. This is the terrible thing about the Church of Light. Of course, there are also those who give up for freedom. After all, not everyone can give up everything for power. Freedom is equally important to the strong. If you really choose to believe in the God of Light, it is normal to be deprived of your freedom. If the Church of Light says that your family is a heretic, it will even let you kill your loved ones with your own hands. This kind of thing happens quite often. Your family firmly does not believe in the God of Light, and you are a middle or high-level official of the Church of Light. In order to eliminate the possibility of your betrayal, the Inquisition will be dispatched, and even directly test your loyalty to the God of Light, and let you kill your loved ones with your own hands. If you can't do it, it means you are not pious enough, and you will be deprived of everything you have. If you have accidentally learned some secrets of the Church, you and your family will be caught in the Inquisition, tortured, or even killed directly. Your body will be made into a puppet or a deadpool to continue serving the Church of Light.

When Xingluo received the information, his worldview was almost shattered. He almost thought this was some evil organization. In order to study the weaknesses of the abyss creatures, they threw people into a room full of monsters, watching them being eaten little by little from the feet, and then until the whole head was devoured. The experimenters around recorded the whole process. In order to study the weaknesses of these abyss creatures, they even used humans to feed them. In order to obtain the organs of the abyss creatures as experimental materials, they sacrificed a large number of believers and told them that this was for the God of Light. In order to gain more believers, their self-sacrificing behavior was glorified as a very "noble" act.
