Chapter 649: The Papal Race: Prelude

On October 1, the 9th year of the new calendar of the Great Empire, the Holy Light City, the main city of the Divine Light Empire.........

.........With the advent of the early morning, the sacred bell shines on the first rays of sunlight at dawn when the first rays of sunlight break through the sky in the Holy Light City with snow-white buildings as the main tone and hot gold buildings as the embellishment, it stands to reason that the original solemn Holy Light City is replaced by colorful petals today, of course, it is mainly the snow-white, the Holy Spirit Flower known as the national flower by the Holy Light Empire, as for why today's serious Holy Light City will become a sea of joy, it is because today, The Papal Election, which takes place only once in years or even decades in the Great Empire of Light, will take place today.

After the sound of the bell spread throughout the huge and majestic City of Light, the nuns and children of the choir spread the sacred and solemn song throughout the city against the background of white doves flying in the sky and snow-white Holy Spirit flowers, and at the same time, the believers of the Holy Light in the City of Light began to kneel down on one knee in front of the bed, whether male or female, whether old or child, and the sacred song began to sing until the end of the papal election.

On the wide street outside the city, groups of human warriors wearing snow-white gold-edged armor also walked out of the Holy Light Cathedral with snow-white and pale gold accents in their axes, and began to block all the main roads in the Holy Light City.

These soldiers of the Holy Light Sect wearing snow-white armor are one of the four main forces of the Holy Light Sect, and they are equipped with armor and weapons made of stainless steel, and the people they are built by those dwarven masters who believe in the Holy Light Sect, and in addition to the outer layer of full-body plate armor, they are also wearing a kind of battle armor called dragon scale inner armor inside their bodies, of course, this inner armor is actually the fish scale inner armor produced by the Great Empire on which the sun never sets. It's just that it's weaker than the fish scale inner armor, as for why it has such a sassy name, who said that one of the sworn enemies in the Divine Light Empire is the Heavenly Dragon Empire? And in fact, there are really such things as dragon scale armor or dragon scale inner armor in the King Continent, but the dragon scales used in this kind of thing are not the scales on those real dragons, but the dragon scales that are tough and can be bent after being burned by the fire in the dragon clan, and the defense of this kind of inner armor is not as good as the steel inlay armor made by the Great Empire.

It is worth mentioning that although the armor of these guys is terrible, the weapons in their hands are not vegetarian: the axes and halberds equipped by these apologetics are not only made by dwarven masters, but also made of either steel or dwarven steel, and even the handles of the axes are made of high-quality iron ingots. Furthermore. These apologists were also armed to the teeth with a knight's shield that was larger than the other knights' shields, and a well-made mace with intricately carved body parts.

And at the same time as these apologetic warriors, there were also Holy Light Sect priests holding snow-white gold-rimmed long cloths, and these priests who had reached the intermediate or even senior level were originally in normal times. Anyone who casually walked to a Holy Light Sect town or even a small city with more power than those city lords had put aside all the arrogance of the past today. Walk forward like a slave. On the one hand, he divided the extremely long and wide white cloth in his hand from the entrance of the Holy Light Cathedral into two strips, and laid them to the east gate of the Holy Light City and the west gate of the Holy Light City respectively.

"Hmph, that's a big show." A middle-aged man, after removing a movable stone brick from the top of the house, said in a disdainful tone as he watched the main road take his sights and have many squads patrol the pathway connecting the main road

"Come on, even with those chanting cover. But you'd better be quiet. Next to the middle-aged man who was lying on his stomach and spoke in a disdainful tone, another middle-aged man who was sitting on a chair drinking hot boiled water kicked the middle-aged man next to him and said, "I don't want anything to go wrong in the process of the two of us carrying out the mission, you must know that this is the most heavily defended day in the Holy Light City in several years, if those guys on the street find any trouble, they will definitely split us in half with the axe in their hands at the first time." ”

"Cut. That thing isn't as sharp as the kitchen knives produced by our empire, don't you see that the maces and axes on those guys are unbladed? If you want me to say that the two weapons of battle on their bodies are not as lethal as the shield on their backs. ”

"Okay, okay, don't participate in the next mission if you break your mouth, let me ask you, do you see any valuable information now?"

"Hmm......... Two or three cats, large and small, occupy the vantage point and observe the situation on the street like us, judging from their physical characteristics, it is very likely that they are shadow assassins controlled by the Holy Light Sect, if I am not mistaken, then among these assassins, the Holy Assassin. Paul and St. Paul. Johnson's people should have it, but the people of Padran shouldn't...... There shouldn't be any people from Badbuck, after all, these apologetic warriors in front of him are Badbuck's people............ However, I think that after those shadow assassins saw the formation in front of them, even if they found that the weapons on the apologists stationed there were all unbladed, they probably didn't dare to use them. ”

"Nonsense, the criminal law of the Divine Light Great Empire is more than the criminal law that our Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has, after all, those things have been continuously evolved over a period of ten thousand years or so...... Well? What is this trumpet? Just as the middle-aged man sitting on the chair drinking boiling water spoke, a horn came from the Cathedral of the Holy Light, and then, the sound of the horn sounded one after another like layers of waves, and the one lying on the floor of the third floor with the gap made by the stone bricks being moved, and the Z-shaped telescope with two refractors in his hand looked at the East City Gate in the distance for a while, and found that the cathar warriors on both sides of the street began to take out the horns from their waists and blow them, At the same time as a figure appeared at the city gate in the distance, he said to the middle-aged man beside him: "The ceremony of entering the city has begun. Paul and St. Paul. Johnson's two fellows entered the city surrounded by the Knights of the Cathar. ”

"Okay, I'll go ahead and inform the brothers, you can wait for all the marching teams to pass through the city and prepare to carry out the evacuation words, and leave the rest to Badran to deal with." As he spoke, the middle-aged man put aside the cup of boiling water in his hand, then took out a rope from his waist and walked to a window leading to the inner alley, and after tying the rope to the predetermined iron ring, he left the room with the help of the rope, and after a while the rope also disappeared.

But at this time, the middle-aged man lying on the ground, to be precise, the spy of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, has not gone to all this, because this spy who never sets the sun has been attracted by everything in front of him.

At the sound of the horn, as the horse's hooves sounded, one by one, the apologists of the Great Empire of the Holy Light, dressed in snow-white heavy plate armor, holding a spear with a ribbon tied to it, and riding a horse from outside the city, rode into the city on war horses.

Don't look at these apologetic knights, but even Sun Lin himself has to admit that these guys are the regular knights with the strongest combat strength in the entire King Continent (the strongest here means to remove the BUG-type super heavy cavalry such as the Black Rhino Rider of the Orc Great Empire and the Strange Walking Dragon Knight of the Heavenly Dragon, of course, the Dick heavy cavalry of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets) Although their equipment is not the most sophisticated, their combat effectiveness and fanaticism are the most terrifying in the entire King Continent, Even the frenzied orcs will be frightened to come back from their madness after facing the charge launched by these guardian knights from the Holy Light Sect of the Holy Light Great Empire, and those cavalry units that belong to the super heavy cavalry type, such as the Black Rhino Heavy Cavalry of the Orc Great Empire or the Earth Dragon Knight of the Celestial Dragon Empire, must also be avoided, after all, the horizontal ones are also afraid of being stunned.

And with these strong triather knights, there were many middle-aged and elderly men holding golden scepters, all of them were dressed in snow-white white robes with gold trim, led by an old man who looked to be about 50 years old, with a red face, in a relatively scattered formation in the direction of the Holy Light Cult Cathedral while chanting and moving forward, and the apologists and priests on both sides of the road had to kneel down on one knee after seeing these people, as for the reason is very simple, Because these people in front of him are in the rank of priests, the lowest level is also a great priest-level figure, and most of them are regional bishops or bishop-level tasks, the old man at the head of the group, it is estimated that he will catch a random person from the Holy Light City and exclaim loudly after looking at his face and the clothes on his body: "Saint. Your Excellency Archbishop Paul! ”

"In this way, it should be holy to go from here. Paul's faction, then the one who came in at the West Gate should be the saint. Johnson's people. Just as the middle-aged man was talking to himself, a slight sound came from the first floor, and the spy who never set the sun broke out in a cold sweat.

"Was it discovered......... Forget it, anyway, the most and most useless information has been obtained, and there is no matter of our great empire where the sun never sets, and how to fight is the business of those people in Bedland. It's time for me to evacuate. Thinking to himself, the spy who never sets the sun immediately ran under the bed and found an old-fashioned Mo forging crossbow, and then jumped out of the window where the middle-aged man had left, and the cup of boiling water on the table had disappeared.
