Chapter 170 A Hidden Secret

All the mages and priests on Richard's side were pale, and in a short period of time, their mana and divine power had been depleted. If it weren't for the fact that the Divine Kingdom of the Three Goddesses had moved to the void above this place at this moment, their priests would not have such staying power.

Richard lay down for a while, and suddenly there was greenery spreading under him, a few swaying mountain flowers blooming, and his breath of life was rapidly increasing. Although he can't fight yet, he doesn't look like he's just dying.

Richard asked one of the knights to help him up, then looked around and sighed softly.

The vast battlefield was silent at the moment, and there were corpses of the war dead everywhere, many of which had been charred after the thunder and lightning.

Of the 50,000 troops on the Sinai side, more than 20,000 were killed in the previous battle, 20,000 died in the thunderstorm saturation bombardment, and only a few thousand escaped from the battlefield in time.

Gangde squeezed to Richard's side and asked murderously, "Boss, are you going to chase those rabbit cubs?"

Richard shook his head and said, "Let them go." There are already too many people who have died. ”

"But" Gangde still wanted to argue, in his opinion, chasing and destroying the fleeing enemy was the best chance.

Richard shook his head, interrupted Gonde, and said, "Didn't you listen to what the Pope said when he announced the beginning of the war? Now that they have fled, they will not have a chance to return to the Sinai faith. The purpose of our war this time is to eliminate the clergy and fanatics in Sinai, and there is no need to kill more people. ”

Gangde touched his bald head a little stupidly, and stopped arguing.

Moments later, Richard's army marched into the City of the Temple.

This place has become a dead place, and more than a dozen squares in the city are full of dried corpses, and those people can no longer see their original appearance, and can only distinguish their former identities by their uniforms.

Richard walked silently, skirting one square after another. After only three squares, Gangde couldn't stand it anymore. The hellish scene made this battle-hardened man even look at his eyelids.

"Chief, aren't these Sinai believers? How could he do this to his own believers? That's tens of thousands of people!"

Richard glanced at Gangde and asked, "You killed a lot of people on the battlefield, didn't you?"

"What's the same? It's the latest chapter of the battlefield, we are brothers! Even if they die at my hands, they die like real warriors. If I die on the battlefield one day, I will never complain! But these, these are different! They are civilians, they have no ability to resist at all, this is a massacre!" said Gangde indignantly.

"It was indeed a massacre. Gangde, in the eyes of the gods, believers are not equal to their beings. They look at believers as we look at pigs and sheep. What difference does it make if you kill a few thousand or tens of thousands of sheep when you need to?"

Gonde rubbed his bald head vigorously and said bitterly, "But our god of Norland does not seem to be like this. ”

Richard sighed and said, "That's because we have super strong people, they are not inferior to the gods, and some of them may even be above the gods." Only then will the gods follow the rules. In Faro, this is clearly not the case. ”

"Boss, will this happen again?" asked Gangde.

Richard was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"So what are we going to do?

"No, keep fighting. Only by pulling these gods down from the throne will they no longer treat believers as cattle and sheep. That's how Norland first came over. ”

Gonde nodded as if he didn't understand, he wasn't in the mood to study Norland's theology.

Richard looked no further and turned to the Grand Temple of Sinai.

At this moment, a small black cloud appeared in the sky, which was a few split-brains and swarms of worker bees that had flown in. And the two splitters that hovered in the sky fell, putting down the thinker on their backs.

The Thinker also followed Richard into the temple, where he was tasked with collecting items containing divinity for the brood.

The Great Temple was cold and silent, and there was not even a living thing. Only a small half of the people here died in the initial raid of the humanoid knights, and most of them died at the hands of Sinai, becoming the raw material of blood sacrifices.

A large group of knights poured into the temple and began to search around, while Richard stood in front of the statue of Sinai, gazing at the huge statue that was thirty meters high.

Richard had seen even taller and more majestic statues, the god of war in the highlands, a guy whose divine power was even worse than that of the three goddesses. And Sinai is stronger than the original three goddesses, but it is also limited.

There seems to be a strange phenomenon in Faro, the weaker the god's power, the more the statue must be built tall and grand. Those gods with great divine powers, such as Xerxes, seem to be very ordinary and simple, and some gods do not even have idols, only god emblems.

The idol of Sinai is the image of a middle-aged man, with a majestic appearance and no smile.

Richard stared for a moment, shook his head, and looked elsewhere. There is no longer any will left in the statue, and it seems that the blow to Richard caused Sinai not to be light.

Sinai's priesthood can temporarily distort the flow of time, but Richard has the advanced title of Eternal and Time Dragon, and is highly resistant to the power of the time attribute.

In this confrontation of wills, Sinai can be regarded as a nemesis. Although Richard still suffers more losses, you must know that Richard is not a legend yet, once he enters the legend, his soul power will have a qualitative leap, and then he will fight against Sinai, and the result will be completely different.

Richard walked around the temple, watching the knights move oil paintings, many ancient grails and other sacred objects outside the temple. After a few moments, Richard had already turned around the entire Great Temple, and it seemed that he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

According to the normal procedure, the next step is to knock down the idol and dismantle the temple. Originally, there was another step, which was to convert the shallow believers. But now that the entire city has been slaughtered, this step can be omitted.

Sinai originally had three doppelgangers and more than a dozen gods and goddesses in the temple. The bones of two of the doppelgangers and most of the gods and goddesses have been found, and only one doppelgänger is missing.

The Blood Sacrifice Curse almost put Richard in a desperate situation, but how could this powerful skill of ultra-long casting distance and directional strike have no price?

In addition to the many civilian believers who died, Sinai's doppelganger also needed to expend a lot of divine power to activate the latest chapter of the Blood Sacrifice Curse Born Unlucky. And in order to reduce the burden of the doppelganger, those gods and goddesses eventually became the raw materials of the blood sacrifice. The effect of one god son is equivalent to the blood sacrifice of thousands of civilians. This is God's world.

The Great Temple was demolished and destroyed, and even the entire city could be abandoned, and then Richard just waited, waiting for the results of the divine war between the three goddesses and Sinai.

However, Richard remembered the original question: why did Sinai build his own Grand Temple in such a place?

He stood in the middle of the temple, frowning and thinking, and after a moment gave a new order to the worker bees around him: "Dig down here for me!

The worker bees will always carry out Richard's orders to the end, so this digging is 500 meters, and it takes five days before and after.

Five hundred meters underneath, the worker bees came across a group of temples hidden deep underground!

I don't know who the temple group belongs to, and I don't know how long it has passed. Miraculously, the temple group's defense mechanics are still usable and very effective.

As soon as the first humanoid knights sent in by Richard entered the temple gate, countless stars were sprinkled from the void and fell on the humanoid knights. The humanoid knights with extremely strong vitality fell one after another, did not struggle, did not dodge, and died so quietly.

This scene made Richard stunned. The Brood's combat units have always been known for their tenacious vitality, even if they are cut in two, they can fight until all their vitality is gone, but these hundreds of humanoid knights died quietly under the night and the stars, as if they were just asleep.

With a wave of Richard's hand, ten humanoid knights walked through the temple gate again. They also encountered the rain of stars, but as if they had seen nothing, they let the stars fall on them.

As soon as the humanoid knight walked through the door, he lost contact with Richard, and although Richard could clearly see their movements, it felt like they were in two worlds.

After the third group of humanoid knights entered the main hall, Richard's true vision finally found the reason. Those starrays will neutralize the life force of the humanoid knight, and after the star falls, the life force in the humanoid knight's body will quickly dry up.

Richard's face remained unchanged, and he transferred another batch of worker bees to enter the temple in batches, and after more than a dozen batches of worker bees, Richard made a new discovery, and the divine power attached to the stars was fixed. And a little divine power on the stars can roughly neutralize the vitality of the two worker bees. But each star will only be attached to one living entity that enters the temple.

Richard took a few steps back, only then did he take a closer look at the details of the temple's exterior. The worker bees have cleaned up the front.

It was a rectangular six-poster porch, made of non-gold and non-stone, and extremely black. When you gaze, you don't feel abnormal, but when your gaze wanders, there will be a halo of light on the stigma and the base of the column dancing in the field of vision.

After a few attempts, Richard confirmed that he was not dazzled. He approached the pillar, curiously reached out and touched the base, which seemed to be integrated with the column, and suddenly felt something different. Fingers seemed to be able to feel the uneven lines, and along the clear lines, a delicate picture of an unknown flower appeared in Richard's mind.

Richard stepped back again, this time using his real vision, and the landscape changed before him. The colonnade of the temple was shrouded in the dark night of the twinkling stars, and the flowers were coiled and dangling, enchanting and blooming, as if the tip of the nose could smell the fragrance.

One can imagine how elegant and beautiful it was when the divine power never failed.

Outside the gate of the temple, there is a stone monument that is mostly buried in the earth. Several worker bees kept digging and dug up the stele after a few moments. The stele is engraved with a bizarre emblem with a six-pointed star in the center.

In the current Faro system, there is no such emblem. However, Richard retrieved the history of the god of Faro in his memory and recognized the origin of this god emblem. It is the emblem of the fallen Night Lady.
