In the middle of Shenghui Street, on Shenghui Mountain, Shenghui Cathedral is like a giant dragon entrenched on a high mountain, condescending to overlook most of the imperial capital. Legend has it that this white rock mountain is pulled out of the ground by the gods, and there are mostly plains and hills near the imperial capital, but Shenghui Mountain is a towering mountain, which is really like a miracle.

The Shenghui Cathedral is on the Shenghui Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the layers of halls are piled up one by one, and countless corridors and walkways connect the upper and lower halls. The Cathedral of Divine Grace at the top of the hill is even more magnificent, a magnificent structure that can accommodate up to 10,000 people praying to the gods at the same time.

The square main body of the church, on which stand twelve towering spires, because of the relationship between the permanent magic circle, the pale golden Shenghui Cathedral always releases a circle of lustrous golden light, this circle of light envelops the entire Shenghui Mountain, which is also the first barrier of the Shenghui Cathedral - the Shenghui Enchantment.

This barrier enveloped the sky and ground near Mount Shenghui, and even the underground was wrapped in the barrier. Unless they are recognized clergy, anyone who steps into the Holy Radiance Enchantment will be mercilessly attacked by powerful attack divine arts.

On weekdays, the entrance to the Sacred Wisdom Cathedral, located at the foot of the mountain, is bustling with people, and many believers and clergy come and go.

But today, the atmosphere here was extremely tense, tens of thousands of soldiers in heavy armor blocked the entrance to the Shenghui Cathedral, and several nearby mansions of wealthy families were even set up with powerful bed crossbows. There were even thousands of soldiers armed with sniper crossbows hiding in the bushes and corners of the house, and their eyes were locked on the group of clergy standing in the Holy Radiance Enchantment.

It was already dark, but it was densely covered with lanterns and torches, and dozens of clusters of light created by divine magic were suspended in the air. The lights shine brightly on this piece as if it were day. Thousands of clergy stood near the entrance, led by a cardinal archbishop dressed in red and holding a scepter.

The presiding chapel of the Cathedral of the Divine Radiance is Cardinal Archbishop Tulu, and under him, he is assisted by three cardinal archbishops who govern the entire Cathedral of the Holy Radiance. In the organization of the Church, the cardinal archbishop is the administrator of the provincial diocese of each country, and they are not only of high status, but also extremely strong in personal strength.

The cardinal in front of him is Bishop Hatu, one of the three cardinals under the throne of Tulou, who is responsible for the daily work of the entire Basilica of the Holy Grace. Administrative, logistical, correspondence, and official contacts with the Gallic Empire were all handled by the Bishop of Hatu, the Bishop of the Scepter.

A strong wind suddenly blew from a distance, and Bishop Hatu, who was holding a scepter, had his long gray hair blown in the wind, and he squinted at Stein, who was standing outside the Radiance Barrier. Suddenly, a smile appeared: "Lord Stein, this is the place where the light of the gods is shrouded, please leave with your subordinates." Is the Gallic Empire going to war with the believers of the gods?"

Dressed in a suit of blood-colored heavy armor and holding a heavy sword in both hands, the tip of the sword was pestled downwards on the ground, Stein stared at Bishop Hatu with a gloomy face, and suddenly spat heavily on the ground.

"Less nonsense. You know what I'm here for. Hand over Enzo and the others, or ......"

With a wave of his right hand at will, the heavy horse slashing sword roared through the air and struck, and a sword qi shot out, splitting a sword mark on the ground that was one inch wide and several feet deep and more than ten meters long. The ground here is paved with extremely hard granite, and Stein can wreak havoc with a single blow. It can be seen how strong his strength is.

Hatu smiled lightly, and he shook his head slightly.

"This is the land of the glory of the gods, Lord Stein, are you demonstrating against us? You are using weapons in the realm of the gods, you want to declare war on the Church on behalf of the Gallic Empire, but do you have the qualifications?"

Hatu's words are very arrogant, and he is already arrogant to the bones. Even if there were only a thousand or so clergy standing behind him. Even though Stein brought tens of thousands of hoplites and a large number of warriors lurking in the darkness, Hatu didn't take Stein seriously at all.

If Stein dared to attack the Cathedral of the Holy Radiance, then it would represent a declaration of war by the Gallic Empire against the Church. There was no doubt that the Church would mobilize all its forces to wage a religious war against the Gallic Empire. But Hatu looked down on Stein at all, just a general of the Gallic Empire, a mere hereditary marquis, are you qualified to represent the Gallic Empire?

Yun Danfeng smiled lightly, and Hatu squinted his eyes and shook his head: "Your Excellency Stein, you can take the soldiers back to the camp." You are not qualified to give any personal opinion in the land of the glory of the gods!This is the domain of the gods, and if you want to do something, let Emperor Saint Louis XIII come over in person!"

Stein's eyes were red with rage, and a bruised vein in his brow suddenly exploded.

"Hatu, I won't talk nonsense with you, hand over Enzo and the few young people who were kidnapped by you just now! You have violated the laws of our empire by doing so! Who gave you the right to arrest people indiscriminately on the territory of our empire?"

Hatu was still smiling easily, he shook his head lightly, and sighed softly.

"The gods have given us the power to judge heresy and evil, those young people they have fallen, they bear the original sin, they are sinners, so they will be burned at the stake!" Squinting at the angry Stein, Hatu smiled lightly: "As for the law of the Gallic Empire? Lord Stein, divine power is higher than imperial power, this is the supreme law recognized by all countries on the continent!"

The scepter in his hand slammed heavily into the ground, and Hatu shouted: "It is the power of the gods to arrest heretics and judge sinners! What right do you have in the Gallic Empire to hinder us from exercising the divine authority bestowed by the gods? Is it true that your Gallic Empire is already a fallen heretical country, and you want to desecrate the glory of the gods?"

Stein was so angry that his pores were spewing out fiery breaths.

The Punishment Knights suddenly went out to arrest Lin Qi, and as a result, half of the imperial capital was in a mess, and the university town was even more ruined! The church attacked Lin Qi for no reason, which was already unacceptable to Stein!

What's even more outrageous is that Lin Qi fled, and the cardinal Archbishop Tulu actually threatened His Majesty the Emperor to his face, and ordered the Emperor to help the church arrest Lin Qi in that condescending 'order' tone! A god man actually dared to threaten the Emperor of the Empire! Stein, who was loyal to Saint Louis XIII, was really angry!

It's just that Lin Qi escaped without a trace, and the Punishment Knights were killed nearly a thousand people, and Stein heard the news, as if he had eaten a big bowl of rock sugar water in the summer. But he was still perfunctory with the crowds on the street to 'arrest Lin Qi', and the Inquisition of the Holy Radiance Cathedral Inquisition actually sent people to go straight to the Army Academy and capture Enzo and the Seven Musketeers in Bloody Clothes back to the Holy Radiance Cathedral.

At that time, Vic happened to be reporting to Enzo, and Vic was also captured!

Let's not mention that Enzo and Vic are both close friends of Linzi, just to say that these people in the church violently broke into the Army Academy and arrested people without saying hello to the Empire! Where do you put the dignity of the imperial family and the dignity of the emperor?

Enzo They are still reservists of the empire, even if your church wants to arrest people, you can only apply to the Imperial ** Department, and the military department will ask Enzo and others to cooperate with the investigation. In Stein's view, the church's blatant arrest is a provocation to the Empire.

Enraged, Stein raised his sword.

"Archbishop Hatu, hand over the soldiers of my Gallic Empire!

Stein's eyes flashed with murderous blood! He, the blood lion general Stein is a soldier, he is not a politician! So he is not afraid of the power of the church at all! Isn't it a religious war? The Gaul Empire has even endured a hundred years of land and island wars, and now the Gaul Empire is stronger and richer than it was thirty years ago.

"Hand over the soldiers of our empire!

Stein raised his left hand, and he clenched his fist hard.

With a loud 'clang', the 13,000 hoplites of the Beast Blood Legion lined up in a charging formation raised their three-meter-long bayonets at the same time. They breathed in a low voice, and gradually everyone followed Stein's breathing rate and inhaled one by one, and more than 10,000 people followed the same frequency of breathing, as if an ancient beast suddenly descended on the world, and a sinister aura that made people's scalps tingle gradually enveloped the Holy Radiance Cathedral.

Bishop Hatu sat on wax, and he looked at Stein a little helplessly. Those scarlet eyes exuded a murderous aura, and he could see that if he didn't hand over the people, Stein would definitely have the courage to attack the Cathedral of Divine Radiance.

But how is it possible to give the handsome? The order to arrest people is transmitted directly from the upper echelons of the church, don't look at the fact that Bishop Hatu seems to be in a high position, but what kind of big man is he in the church?

Taking a deep breath, Bishop Hatu raised the scepter in his hand: "Lord Stein, please also bring back your soldiers. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Stein had already stepped into the Holy Radiance Barrier, and he slashed at Bishop Hatu with a sword in the head, scolding 'Fuck you' in his mouth!

A foul remark made Bishop Hartu stunned, when had he ever been so insulted, and he wanted to say something to contradict Stein, but Stein's sword had already been slashed at the head. Bishop Hatu instinctively shrank down, and the wolf rolled backwards.

With a 'bang', the tip of Stein's sword tore open Bishop Hattu's back, leaving a long, deep bloody cut on his back, nearly chopping Bishop Hattu in two.

As soon as Stein made a move, the soldiers behind him immediately came out at the same time. Thirteen thousand heavily armored infantry rushed into the Holy Radiance Barrier with rumbling steps, dozens of bed crossbows roared and shot huge crossbow arrows, and the sniper crossbows even locked up those clergy, just waiting for someone to come forward, it was an arrow to ignite.

For the first time since the establishment of the Basilica of the Holy Grace, a non-church soldier has set foot in this sanctuary of the gods. (To be continued)
