In the square outside the temple, the dragoons had been completely reduced to tool men, and the purification techniques were released one after another.

Every time the white light of the purification technique fell, one person shouted praises to the light and became a faithful believer in Xia Yu.

But of course, you can't give it for free, so many people.

The dragon rider's purification technique, like the food creation technique, also consumes spiritual power, because he does not have the power of holy light, and there is an additional consumption, so he can only use it thirty or forty times a day at most.

In fact, it doesn't take that much at all, Xia Yu gave five purification places per day, lottery allocation, and hunger marketing to find out.

Of course, on the first day of opening, a few more purifications can be regarded as an event.

Those who are called by name take turns to come forward to be purified.

Before each purification, the dragoon had to pretend to mutter.

"Your sins have been cleansed, your souls have been purified, and the God of Light has allowed you to enter eternal heaven and receive the blessings of the Light!" The dragoon muttered, and as soon as he raised his hand, the holy white light fell, and the festering on the man's body disappeared immediately.

The power of the Holy Light and the God of Light are not too similar.

"I am purified, I am pure!" The cured citizen cried and laughed.

The surrounding onlookers cheered feverishly one by one.

The reason why they stayed in this dying city was that their psychology was somewhat abnormal, and some of them were so sinful that they ran to the Holy City for refuge, and according to the laws of this world, no matter how vicious the criminals, as long as they are willing to atone for their sins in the Holy City, they can avoid punishment.

Others are too religious (ignorant) to seek the revelation of the God of Light in the Holy City, looking forward to the day of salvation, and it seems that this day has finally arrived.

Some of them had to serve in the Holy City because of their origins.

Whatever kind of person they are, it looks like they've found a way to salvation.

When the tenth lucky man was cured, Xia Yu asked the dragoon to stop.

"Don't be in a hurry, we will stay here until all the people of this city are purified, but the great God of Light, although merciful, is also strict, and only those who contribute your hearts sincerely are qualified to be purified, and only those who are purified are qualified to enter Heaven, so you all have to pray to the God of Light and fight resolutely against the darkness.

God has given me a revelation, a great war is about to break out, the dark cultists are already lurking in this city, you all have to keep your eyes open, if you find a hidden dark cultist, report it to me immediately, you will be rewarded for it, now disperse, tomorrow at noon, we will have a new purification ceremony! “

Xia Yu said, and once again released a dazzling golden light on his body.

The citizens were a little disappointed, but more rejoicing, at least now they had hope.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Xia Yu and the others were welcomed into the temple.

There is only so much purification for the townspeople, but there is still an extra PY deal with the priests.

"Traveler, you're pretty good at keeping things alive! I think if you go into a pyramid scheme, you will definitely be a good player. Xuanniao said jokingly.

Dragoon said, "It's not all my purification technique. ”

"Yes, yes, it's all up to you, or you come back and preach to those people as a saint."

"What are you afraid of, isn't it just bragging?"

As they spoke, the group had already been brought into the main hall of the temple.

"So where the hell is the Holy Spirit core?"

"The Heart of Light is located inside the Temple, which is a holy place for the Holy See and can only be touched by messengers of the God of Light."

Xia Yu nodded, "Alpha, Beta, Omega, the three of you take people to stay here." ”

"Please follow the Messenger of Light."

A group of priests took Xia Yu and the others into the interior of the temple, a magnificent hall, the years still left traces, and the huge pillar of light shot out from here.

The device is located in the middle of the main hall, a round metal platform, when outside, you can only see a pillar of light rising into the sky, at this time it is close, and you can finally see it carefully, it seems to be an ion stream, full of ten meters thick, launched from the vent of a prototype, Xia Yu was stunned when he saw it, that thing is obviously a scientific and technological item, and it seems that the scientific and technological content is not low, and the smooth shell is not at all what people in this era can do.

Looks like we'll have to do some research, but it's a pity that the mechanic isn't there, otherwise I might have some clues.

He circled around the metal platform a few times, noticed some strange runes on it, touched it with his hand, and a voice immediately rang in his ears.

System Tip: You have successfully found the legendary Holy Spirit Core, you can choose to activate or destroy it, whichever option you choose, it will take 30 days to open/destroy.

It's that simple? Xia Yu was a little surprised, and thought he was going to decipher a secret or something.

He didn't rush to do anything, although he was now a 'messenger of light', these priests didn't necessarily trust him completely, at least he always felt that the eyes under the priests' hats were a little scrutinizing.

Now that the decisive battle is imminent, the important thing is to win this battle, and these priests of light are all potential sleepwalkers, anyway, it is not a day or two away, so let's wait until the battle is over.

"Yes, this is the Heart of Light, as long as the Heart of Light is not extinguished, the Goddess of Darkness cannot return, you have done a good job, you must strictly guard this place, don't let anyone in except us, the goal of the Dark Cultists is to destroy the Heart of Light."

"Rest assured, it is our duty to protect the Heart of Light, and we will always do so."

"Now that we are about to start a war with the Dark Imperial Army, I hope that you can defend the city and not let the Imperial Army threaten our army's position from this side of the city wall, and I will arrange some people to guard the city wall."

Several priests looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

They had also heard about the rise of the Dark Imperial Army, but the Church of Light was weak now and had no strength to confront the Dark Order, so they could only shrink here and wait for death.

"There aren't many Templars in the city, not enough to hold the city."

"I am ready to select devout believers from among the citizens and form a legion of light, anyone who joins the legion will have priority in purification, and sacrifice for the god of light, if you die in the war, you can immediately enter the paradise of light, I hope you can help me preach this matter, if you do well, I can purify for you in advance."

Xia Yu's set of tricks is not new at all, but the reason why a classic is a classic is because it is simple and practical.

Those priests did not refuse, and sent dozens of Templar knights to the streets of the city to preach, and with the 'miracles' displayed before, in one afternoon, more than 1,000 [Legions of Light] were recruited.

Xia Yu asked the priest to open the arsenal again, picked out some spears and short swords that could still be used and equipped these people, and each hundred people were a team, and let the ten special forces of the Beta squad serve as commanders, each leading a team of men and horses, and they didn't practice any tactical tactics, just understand the simple command to charge and retreat.

These people have enough to fight, but it should still be possible to defend the city gate, and they can be strong and strong, and in terms of numbers alone, it is already twice as large as the expeditionary force.

And it's given for free anyway, so I don't feel sorry if I send it in case of war.

With this improvised Legion of Light, they came to the southern wall to set up defenses, so that the right flank of the expeditionary force would be safe.

After arranging these, Xia Yu said: "Xuanniao, black cat, dragon rider, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back to the camp first." ”

"What are you going back for?"

"The big war is coming, it's good to have one more soldier, since this side is already stable, I'll leave the Beta team, and I'll bring back the Omega team and the alpha team, so it's also a combat force."

Xuanniao nodded, "It's okay, you can rest assured that I'm here." ”

Xia Yu took people out of the city.

At this moment, twenty miles from the city of Kale.

In a makeshift tent, a final meeting was taking place.

The Master spoke eloquently about his strategy: "The enemy has already set up positions here, and it is not wise to attack them head-on, so we should surround them, dig trenches, trap them, and at the same time cut off the cavalry on all sides of the enemy, and the soldiers should abandon the armor and spears, which are useless against bullets, and are armed only with swords, bows, and crossbows."

Wait until reinforcements arrive, and completely trap the enemy. ”

Manuk shook his head: "The enemy is only a few hundred, but we have an army of 100,000"

"It's seventy-five thousand." Overlord corrected.

Manuk glared at the overlord: "That's the same, our army is hundreds of times the enemy's army, and the consumption is also hundreds of times, to transfer materials from the camp, it must be inappropriate for a long time, so it should be fought quickly, spears and armor are all equipment used by our soldiers, and it is easy to disturb the morale of the army if they are rashly abandoned."

I've made up my mind, and I'll fight tomorrow! Attacking frontally with infantry, covering catapults and ballistae to advance to a distance of 500 paces to shoot, the cavalry outflanked the flank, cutting off its rear road, disturbing its flank, and the armies attacking in turn, consuming the enemy's strength, and when the time is right, an order of 100,000 troops to besiege the whole line will surely be able to completely destroy this army. ”

The Sect Master didn't insist any longer, after all, they were all laymen about fighting, and the plan or something sounded good, but the real action may not really be better than Manuk's strategy.

You have to let this guy try it first, maybe he will really win in a wave of A's.

Eighty thousand to four hundred, the flying dragon rider asked you how to lose.

A few players came out of the big tent and discussed it again.

Bai Ye asked, "Do you think you can win?" ”

"There should still be a chance, after all, it is a gap of hundreds of times in strength, and Manuk is right, the army is under the city, it is really not the way to use soldiers."

The overlord smiled: "The sect leader still knows the art of war." ”

The sect leader ignored him, "Besides, it doesn't matter if we lose, we will activate Plan B when the time comes." “

Early the next morning, Xia Yu got up and said hello to the lieutenant colonel, Xia Yu took breakfast and military rations to the tower of the earthen fort, he had a feeling that today was likely to be the day of the decisive battle.

Sure enough, before breakfast was settled, the army of black pressure had already appeared on the horizon in the distance.

The war has begun!
