Chapter 684: Betrayal and Surrender (Page 1/1)

As the last cardinal of the Flame God Holy See, he has been pampered for decades, so that Bendit deeply understands that the more high-ranking rulers are, the more terrible they will fall after the collapse of power.

It's not that he hasn't thought about surrendering to the royal family, it's not a question of whether he is willing or not, but whether the other party accepts it.

The significance of seizing oneself and then executing it publicly is far greater than the benefits that one's surrender can bring to the royal family, and once oneself surrenders, only the most tragic death awaits oneself.

Not to mention......

The cardinal looked around, and the Templars who followed him looked tired, but their expressions remained resolute.

Although God is dead, the faith that is imprinted into their hearts is indelible.

If you offer to surrender, you will most likely face the butcher's knife of these fanatics.

If you don't surrender, then you are left with the only option left to resist to the end.

However, the two Knights Templar were numbered more than 10,000, and the followers only had about 10,000 combat power, adding up to more than 20,000.

Driven into the most dangerous of corners, Bendit goes crazy to find his way to survive.

When he was about to despair, he suddenly thought of something, and looked eagerly in the direction of the sea.

The continent on the other side of the sea is their only way to survive.

"The god of fire is above, valiant warriors, God has shown us the way to life......"

Suddenly, the cardinal screamed frantically, instantly attracting the attention of the Templars and Bishops.

A cardinal guard seemed to know something, and immediately sent an order in the name of the cardinal with a happy face, so that the only remaining bishops and priests could come and listen to the oracle.

As the number of people around him grew, Bendit's madness faded and was replaced by holiness and piety.

"This country has no room for us, and is full of vile traitors and unbelievers, and God has become disillusioned with this country......"

"New hope is on the other side of the sea, on the continent of Xipokelis, where the faith of God is still spreading, as long as we go to that country, we can rebuild the Holy See and let the Vulcan banner fly under the sky again!"

The cardinal's tone was impassioned, and he gave a very incendiary speech in the name of the god of death.

Most of the cultists were very excited when they heard this, and their faces were fanatical, chanting the name of 'Fire God' in unison, and there were even some who self-harmed.

There are also a small number of more rational Christians who have expressed doubts about this.

"Isn't this a hasty decision, Sipocles is now completely pagan territory, and there are even evil undead activities......

More than one bishop expressed obvious concern to Bendiet, but before the cardinal could reply, the fanatical congregations rudely interrupted the few dissidents:

Are you questioning God's will? ……”

In the face of the emotional fanatics, these few who expressed dissenting opinions also had to abandon their worries and blindly follow the mainstream ideas.

Bendit was pleased with the result, so that there would be no separatist forces.

During the day, there was an impassioned voice, but at night the cardinal was whispering the name of another god:

"Great God of the Night, your humblest of cultists are here to pray to you for your mercy ......"

Through the battle with Sipocles, all that happened on the fast continent flowed into Surdua, including the existence of the Church of the Secret of Time.

Even in the forgotten realms, the Secret of Time has not revealed the true gods, and continues to spread its faith in the name of the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night' and the 'God of the Eternal Night'.

The cardinal's expression was humble and submissive, exactly the attitude of a lamb.

The passers-by nodded their heads secretly, feeling the cardinal's piety, wondering what kind of expression they should have when they knew that this humility was praying to another god.

As the night passed, the god of the eternal night did not respond, and Bendit couldn't help but be secretly anxious, but he still had to put on a calm and unhurried appearance on the surface.

Now that their escape targets have been determined, the remaining Vulcans are heading towards the coast.

Even though the huge Holy See has been destroyed, there are still a large number of fanatics, resisting the government forces in the name of Vulcan in the Seven Cogwheel Provinces, refusing to surrender.

The Cardinal is only one of these forces, and there are several major threats that are undermining the peace in the Empire.

In order to minimize the losses, the government forces had to make great efforts to deal with these rebels, which invisibly helped the cardinal and others to share the pressure.

Mistaken for a small fish and shrimp, the cardinal and his party were able to enter the territory of the coastal province smoothly.

However, the coastal provinces were already the frontiers of the empire, and at the intersection of the two continents, countless heavy troops guarded the movements in the province very closely.

In this case, the cardinal hundreds of thousands of people were soon discovered.

……

Surrounded and suppressed by the army, the cardinal was so angry that he simply split the team into two, and all the incapable cultists used as bait to lure his pursuers.

Anyway, there is not much food, these people were originally the basis for the revival of the Holy See, but now it is a question whether they can escape the catastrophe or not, so they can only be sacrificed.

"They died for God, and after death, they will be guided by the divine messenger to enter the kingdom of God and return to the embrace of God!"

The cardinal chanted the scriptures of the gods, and in an instant, the bleak atmosphere was mostly dispelled, and the procession was able to continue its march.

However, the closer he got to the shore, the more anxious Bendit's mood became.

After several days of prayer, the more intense the crisis, the more respectful and reverent his attitude became, and he even dared to swear that his devotion to the god of eternal night was definitely higher than that of the god of fire, and he could almost go and get an apostle to do it.

However, the god of the eternal night still did not respond.

The cardinal's heart was full of madness, and he secretly promised one rich condition after another, and even retold all the scriptures in the Holy See, in which there were countless secrets about the god of fire.

At the same time, the records of information about the Surdua Empire, and even the empires of the 'Jain' continent were all presented as bargaining chips, and even he and all the Vulcan cultists were willing to convert to become the Eternal Night cultists, offering their faith and soul.

All you can put out is not enough for God?

Bendit frantically questioned himself and the gods, but there was no answer.

And just as they had marched to the city where the sea breeze could blow, the encirclement and suppression of the government army came again.
