436. in the first place
April 1, 1879, which for Shaun and Andrew was just an April Fool's Day of a certain era, was an absolutely unforgettable day of bad news for the Church of the God of War and the Church of the Morning Light. Even for the Principality of Hemadion, it was a very painful day of calamity.
Aderoan, a huge city with a permanent population of more than 100,000 and an active population of nearly 200,000, is not only in ruins, but there are no more than 1,000 survivors who survive. It can be said that it is not only a commercial city that has been destroyed, but even the authority of the Principality of Hemadion, as well as the strategic layout of the entire Principality of Hemadion.
After all, the Duchy of Hermadine was the eastern defense line of the Great Holy City of Marz, and Aderoan was the most prominent strategic point on this defensive line. In order to ensure the importance and strategy of Aderoan, the Principality of Hemadion spent a lot of money to build a series of defensive barriers with Aderoan as the core, which was the core point of the entire defense line used by the [East Wall] to resist invasion.
However, the city that is now the core of this frontline has been completely destroyed, which means that all the efforts made by the Principality of Hemadion back then have been in vain.
The entire east wall has fallen into a defense hole riddled with holes.
However, compared to the concerns and thoughts of the Church of the God of War and the Morning Light Church, the problems that the Principality of Hemadion has been worrying about at the moment seem a little insignificant.
(
Four days after the end of that fateful battle.
At this time, on the Gobi Desert, a few kilometers away from Aderoan, a young man wearing the white robe of a round-necked high priest was on the edge of a pit.
The man had short, silvery-white hair with a slightly finely shredded forehead. It seems that it is because the hair is too long and he cuts it at will with a sharp object, just to save trouble. It is not about aesthetics and appearance. His pupils were as golden as liquid gold, and the corners of his eyes were narrow. It made his eyes look particularly sharp. He also had a high nose and slightly thin lips, which were enough to give him a very strong sense of oppression, if not for the fact that his face was slightly pale enough to make him look a little sickly.
Beside this young man were more than a dozen warriors whose identity, gender, and age could not be distinguished.
The reason why it is impossible to distinguish identity, gender, and age is that these warriors are wearing special black armor, which is a uniform type of heavy armor, rather than male or female chest armor that can distinguish between gender. This set of heavy armor is painted with red totem textures, and when this whole set of armor is worn, these red totem textures will emit a strange red glow. It was as if it were some kind of active substance, and it was obvious that the red totem textures were some kind of magic pattern.
And every warrior in heavy armor wore a helmet covered with an iron mask. Masks obscured their faces, and all of them were painted with demonic faces that looked particularly hideous and terrifying. In addition, each warrior has three matching weapons: a heavy chopper with a thickened spine tied to the left waist; The back is a half-body heavy shield; In his right hand, he holds a life-tall broad-bladed spear.
The number of these fighters was not large, only thirty.
But the momentum in each person's body is very strong.
All the churches on the Miracle Continent know that the Empire of St. Joles has a special order of knights dedicated to demons, heresy, and anomalies related to all elements: the Knights of Judgment. Similarly, only a small percentage of the Church and Organizations are aware of the existence of an Abyssal Plane expeditionary force under the name of the Knights of Judgment: the Knights of the Dark Side. But only a very small number of people will know that there is a very special combat force within the Church of Morninglight.
Knights of the Abyssal Wings.
It's like two sides of a coin. The Knights of the Abyssal Wings are the opposite of the Pure White Winged Knights.
The source of this Knights' replenishment is the Darkface Knights. Only a very small number of members of the Darkside Knights who are able to pass a series of tests, selections, and training are eligible to join the Abyssal Wings Knights. It is precisely because of this extremely strict blood replenishment method that the Abyssal Wings Knights can become the knights within the Morning Light Church that can be on par with the Pure White Wings.
Of course, the only pity is. The Knights of the Dark Side are so few in number.
The entire Abyssal Winged Knights had less than fifty members.
But thankfully, every member of this knight group has a super fighting ability that can stand alone. For these people who often go in and out of the abyss in bloody battles and death battles. Conventional level calculations simply don't work on them. Basically, even if it's a "new recruit" who has just joined the Abyssal Wings Knights. All have a terrible record of being able to kill enemies by at least two levels.
Of course, the battle against the wall of absolute rank. At the very least, they are able to protect themselves.
The Knights of the Abyssal Wings are the most secretive special operations force in the Church of Morninglight.
Thirty people came this time, and if any of the organizational forces knew about it, they would definitely be extremely shocked.
But what was even more shocking was not the appearance of the Abyssal Wings Knights.
It was the silvery-white haired young man.
He is the leader of the Abyssal Winged Knights, the chief planner and head of the "Darkside Knights" project, and the commander-in-chief of the Abyss Expedition Department of the Church of Morning Light.
If Ziggs is the leader of the Knights of the Pure White Wings, a symbol of the light side, then this young man is a symbol of the dark side.
Within the Knights of the Inquisition, the knights called him an instructor. The Darkside Knights have a deep fear of him, and privately call him the Grim Reaper; The members of the Abyssal Wings Knights call him the captain.
As for his original name, it has long been forgotten.
Ziggs and the others called him Xiaobai because his hair was silvery-white.
At this moment, Xiao Bai was standing at the edge of the pit, staring at the corpse in the depths of the pit.
This corpse is Laurent, who was killed by Kokire.
Angel outfit. Holder of Gabriel.
"Captain, there's nothing unusual around." A member of the Abyssal Wings stepped in front of Xiaobai. His voice was a little hoarse, as if his vocal cords had been damaged by Yan zhòng. "Others are coming home. According to the information sent back from the front, this Dark Side Knights have been completely wiped out. And Aderoan was completely destroyed. Not a single intact building has been found in the entire city, and the previous survivors have fled the ruins, unable to ...... at this time."
Before the member of the Abyssal Wings could speak, Xiao Bai had already raised his left hand to stop him from continuing to speak.
To be able to become members of the Abyss Wings, these people have experienced great torture and pain that outsiders cannot imagine. Therefore, their fear of Xiaobai will only be deeper than during the period of the Darkside Knights, but it will never be reduced by being promoted to a member of the Abyss Wings, especially the members who are "lucky" to fight side by side with Xiaobai, and that fear is simply engraved in the soul.
Xiaobai no longer pays attention to these members of the Abyssal Wings. Instead, he jumped towards the pit and slid from the edge to Laurent's body at the bottom of the pit.
Laurent's corpse had no superficial scars, at least not at all visible from Xiaobai's gaze.
From this point, it is difficult to see how Laurent died exactly.
However, Xiaobai only hesitated slightly, then squatted down and stretched out a finger.
At this moment, his golden eyes immediately turned white, and there was even a flame burning in his eyes. But the strange thing is that the pupils of the eyes have turned white. It is completely integrated with the whites of the eyes, and it looks like the parts of both eyes have completely turned white, but in this case, anyone only needs to look at Xiaobai's eyes. He could see a white flame burning in his eyes.
I saw that Xiaobai's right index finger also ignited a white flame, and then reached out to send this flame from Laurent's eyebrows.
After a second, Xiaobai's face changed.
After the death of any living being. The flame of life is naturally extinguished - and this extinguishing is not just for the soul. It also includes life force and so on. To paraphrase the words of the gods, it is that these creatures will return to the law: the soul enters the kingdom of the god in which it believes. The life force will turn into the origin and return to the hands of the goddess of life, the corpse will sink into the earth and return to the world, and so on.
Regardless of the return of these origins, even the goddess of life cannot completely collect the part of life force. In other words, there will still be a small part of the life force left in the corpse, which is also a "trading principle" for the corpse to be buried in the earth and return it to its origin in the world.
But now!
In Xiaobai's temptation, Laurent's corpse did not have any remnants of life force, and completely disappeared cleanly!
Even the soul is gone!
This is not normal!
In this operation, the St. Joels Empire sent four Paladin Chiefs. But the right wing of God, the angel is equipped. Raphael's holder, Nazar had died in a previous operation. But even if he was killed, his soul returned to the Soul Sanctuary of the Morning Light Church, and after handing over his angelic equipment, his soul went directly into the kingdom of the God of Morning Light.
In the same way, there is another person who returns to the Sanctuary of Souls: Jebion, known as the Eternal Shield.
However, Ziggs and Laurent did not return to the Soul Hall.
When Xiao Bai received the secret order from the Pope of the Morning Light Church, his first reaction was that these two paladins were not dead. But after searching all the way, he saw Laurent's corpse, which made Xiaobai feel a little surprised, and then when he found that Laurent's corpse not only had the fire of life, but even the soul completely disappeared, he was really shocked at this moment.
Of course, what was even more shocking was that he had just received a secret order from the Pope, saying that neither Michael nor Raguil had returned!
Jebion is known as the Eternal Shield because he has an angelic outfit. Raguil, but his soul has returned to the Soul Sanctuary, and has completed the path of reincarnation to the kingdom of the God of Dawn, but the angel is equipped. It is simply unimaginable that Raguil was not brought back with the return of the Radil!
Xiaobai put his hand on Laurent's chest, and then with a slight force, the milky white flame ignited from his hand and began to gradually penetrate into Laurent's body.
After a while, when Xiaobai's hand left Laurent's chest, it also brought out a cloud of blue light like a sapphire.
This is an angel outfit. Gabriel.
Looking at the appearance of this set of angel outfits, Xiaobai's face not only did not become relaxed, but became more dignified. At this moment, he suddenly had an intuition that the "sword and shield combination" of Michael and Raguil might have been lost. And let's not guess what Ziggs's death is all about, just from Laurent's corpse, Xiaobai understands that this time the Morning Light Church may really be in big trouble.
However, it is more rich than the Morning Light Church.
There was really a murderous atmosphere inside the God of War Church.
With the death of the two Sons, Marz had sent down an oracle of great rage, and he couldn't wait for the newborn Saint to perform the ritual of the god of war. However, no matter how anxious Marz was, this God of War ceremony could not be convened immediately if he wanted to, at least the preliminary preparations could not be wasted, so in order to calm Marz's anger, everyone in the entire Marz Sanctuary stopped the preparations for the God of War ceremony of others and began to get busy for Emily's God of War ceremony.
It's just that because Sean hasn't appeared yet, Emily doesn't dare to hold the God of War ceremony directly at all, so her non-cooperation naturally hinders the preparation of the ceremony. As a result, the Holy Maiden's God of War ceremony could not be held for a long time, and Marz's anger naturally could not be quelled, so that the Pope, who was busy trying to find a way to receive the power of the two deceased Holy Sons, had to temporarily give up those tempting things and personally preside over Emily's God of War ceremony.
In this case, even if Emily had the intention to delay, it would be difficult for her to affect the internal operation of the God of War Church. It's just that her behavior naturally interfered with the internal atmosphere of the entire God of War Church to a greater or lesser extent, so much so that many of the Grand Dukes of the Northern Duchy Federation smelled some unusual breaths. Although they may not be able to know the news that the two Holy Sons have died at this time, their keen sense of political smell also makes them realize that there may be some problems within the God of War Church, and the multi-party listening and intelligence interaction soon caused some signs of chaos in the entire Northern Duchy Federation.
This sudden move naturally completely disrupted the expectations of the Pope of the God of War Church.
So, Emily soon received an order from the Pope of the God of War Church that she must perform the God of War ceremony at noon tomorrow! (To be continued......) R1292
