Abyss Demon of the Worlds

,!

Tens of minutes later.

In the [Holy City] of [Bloody King Church].

Millions or even tens of millions or more [believers] have already gathered together.

It looked like army ants, filling every corner of every area close to the central square.

It can be said.

If you stand high in the sky and look around, except for the area that is only accessible to internal members of the [Bloody King Church], all places are already overcrowded.

If it weren't for the fact that flying is not allowed here.

perhaps.

The sky must be filled with people.

After all, as an [extraordinary race] born with [psychic powers].

A little basic [spell] is really not a problem.

Even the [Gith civilians] who are civilian units are more or less good at it.

in this regard.

The universal education promoted by the [Bloody King Church] is also an advantage in itself.

Even if all they teach are basic knowledge.

That is enough to make countless civilians and even [professionals] in [Toril World] greedy for it.

There, [spells] are extremely expensive [knowledge]!

It is simply impossible to popularize it on a large scale!

Even in the most prosperous stage of [Netheril Empire]!

Now, as time goes by.

In the huge square.

The crowd gathered more and more, looking at the scorching sun above their heads that was emitting strong light, and then at the time indicated on the mechanical clock at the top of the square.

Even if they dare not say anything in the face of the [Pope] who has not shown up for a long time.

However, certain words began to spread unconsciously:

"Why hasn't [The Pope] shown up yet?"

"What happened to him?"

"Or is there something wrong within the church?"

"The speech before the grand ceremony has been a tradition of the church for thousands of years. There has never been any problem. How could I refuse it today..."

"..."

then.

Fueled by some people who were unhappy with the [Church of the Bloody King].

It didn't take long.

That sound has also become mainstream.

For a moment, a pair of curious or doubtful eyes looked at the church leaders who had already appeared.

For example: those [Bishop] and [Archbishop] who are also a little confused about things.

at this****.

Church management = government officials, [Bishop] = official with real power, [Archbishop] = princes, [Pope] = [Emperor] in the [Ghis Empire], those [Bishops] and [Archbishops] who have already appeared are naturally valuable. Quite high.

Normally.

In the current situation.

They should also be qualified to come forward and say a few words to stabilize the situation.

but.

Think of the previous situation of [Pope].

They didn't know much about the matter, and after looking at each other, they didn't dare to make any move easily.

We can only allow the [believers] below to become more confused.

After all, that's not a problem.

Discussion is a discussion, and those [believers] are still in awe.

You can’t say that just because the [Pope] arrived a little late, everyone’s piety has declined, right?

Where is that statement?

Therefore, they were able to stand still, just standing there with indifferent expressions, like needles that stabilized the sea.

While he remained silent, his extremely calm attitude also had a soothing effect, allowing many [believers] to gradually regain their composure.

The surrounding church troops responsible for public security did not waver from beginning to end.

Each and every one of them was just like the mechanical troops made of metal. Not only did their postures remain unchanged, but their expressions also remained unchanged.

In this [world] that has been stable for thousands of years.

Although these troops have not experienced too much baptism of blood and fire.

However, their discipline has reached a certain extreme under the repeated tempering of [Faith] and [Dogma]!

It will never be like some stragglers who start to collapse and run away with only 12/10 casualties.

For these well-honed elite troops.

Even if it is a 100% death rate.

To them.

Valley you\u003c/span\u003e is also something you can afford!

Or rather.

Death in battle is one of their pursuits.

After all, death is not the so-called end for them.

The [King of Blood]’s [God’s Kingdom] is still waiting for them.

The family will also be supported by various pensions and related policies distributed by the church.

so.

Why panic about a mere death?

They even seemed a little impatient...

----------

Another dozen minutes passed.

When the scorching sun above our heads reached its peak and the temperature reached around 70 degrees.

Suddenly, in the spotlight.

A stream of light flashed past, and two figures appeared in the center of the square at the same time.

in.

One is wearing a blood-red luxurious classical robe, which is full of various scriptures and praises, and wears a special high hat on his head, showing his preference for civilian personnel.

The other was wearing a full-body, blood-red exquisite armor, with only a pair of sharp eyes exposed, and a long sword in a sheath on his waist, showing that he was biased toward military personnel. position.

When the former appears.

All the [believers] present immediately recognized that it was the [Pope].

That outfit is so identifiable that only the Pope can wear it.

Others, even if they dare to wear similar clothes, will inevitably go to the stake sauna.

However, most of the [believers] were a little confused about the figure who was wearing full-body armor and could stand side by side with the [Pope], not quite recognizing who it was.

Only a handful of [believers] and church personnel could not help but widen their eyes and sighed in their hearts:

‘Why did the [Leader] of the [Bloody Guards] show up...’

In [Church of the Bloody King].

There has always been a traditional custom that has been used since ancient times.

If [Pope] is equal to the combination of management ability and combat ability, he is a comprehensive talent.

Then, the [Leader] of the [Bloody Guards] often only represents [Absolute Combat Power]! !

I dare not say anything else.

But being able to fight is a sure thing!

Therefore, the latter does not appear very often.

On weekdays, apart from being responsible for guarding certain core areas of the [Holy City], he basically doesn't care about anything. He will only be immersed in improving the combat capabilities of himself and his subordinates.

And this is the case.

It also explains one thing in many cases.

That is, if the other party appears and speaks openly in a formal occasion, then something big must happen...

For example, more than a hundred years ago, when the [Bloody Guards - Head] last appeared.

It didn't take long.

There is a race that has permanently disappeared into the [Gith World].

The entire clan was killed for the unforgivable crime of [blasphemy], and all sins were washed away with blood!

Even though it is their ancestral land.

A towering and majestic ancient mountain peak was split into a great rift valley by a sword, and it no longer had the power of towering into the clouds!

so.

As the other party shows up.

For a time, many people's expressions also changed slightly, and they straightened their backs.

Be prepared to listen carefully to each other's next words.

And the [Pope] and [Bloody Guards - Head] who suddenly appeared did not disappoint them.

"quiet!"

As the [Pope]'s words with the effect of [law] blurted out.

Everyone in the room, no matter what they were saying, was forcibly muted.

The subsequent words of [Bloody King Church - Pope] and [Bloody Guards - Head] directly detonated the entire audience, making countless listeners boil with emotion.

"I declare in the name of [Hakartar] and [The Church of the Bloody King - the Thirteenth Pope] that I have received the [divine decree] from the great [Bloody King] not long ago, and the [Holy War] is about to begin. …”

"In the name of [Kaled] and [Bloody Guards - the 16th Commander], I declare that I have received the [divine decree] from the great [Bloody King] not long ago, and the [Holy War] is about to begin. start……"

The next moment.

It was like feeling a call.

With a sword cry.

A red light emerged from the altar beneath the [Holy City], and the blood-red sharp blade rose.

It instantly penetrated tens of thousands of meters of soil and layers of barriers, piercing the clouds like a sky pillar.

While making countless white clouds roll, the words of the [Bloody King Church - Pope] and [Bloody Guards - Head] were also transmitted to the entire [World], leaving countless beings with faces full of shock. He raised his head in shock and looked at the heavy red clouds that were dyed red...
