Black sails

Chapter 466 C. The remnant of nightmare

The whistle of the train engraved with the dragon lord's seal gradually subsided, and only the sound of wind was in my ears.

The iron staircase extended out, and when I stepped onto the ground, the yellow sand of a foreign country meandered in the wasteland under my feet.

The army general stationed here, Crocodile Island, should have come to welcome the clergy of the Alan State Church to promote the construction of the church for missionary work.

But when the train stopped, let alone the Alan Army, there was not even a shadow.

It was just a desert with tumbleweeds swaying, withered and desolate.

The most widely distributed in the Western Continent is naturally the Holy Spirit Church, and even in the Southern Continent with ancestor worship, the territory of the Yisu people, it has a strong influence.

Even today, everyone's marriage needs to be blessed by the Holy Spirit of Beauty and Oath before it will be strictly effective.

But the Holy Spirit Church, known for its peace and gentleness, is gradually weakening its influence in this chaotic world, and the Eternal Sect, based on the rise of Alan, is expanding strongly.

The status of the former religious overlords, the Holy Spirits, has been seriously challenged.

The resulting catfish effect has also led to the revival of national religions in various countries.

"Holy God" has evolved to become a sect classified as the same as the Pain Miracle, but in its birthplace, east of the Narrow Sea, the current Principality of Mulong, the original "Holy God" has begun to revive.

And it has become the action program for the resistance army of the Principality of Mulong to integrate the resistance forces.

The purpose of the Eternal Sect is no longer limited to being the most influential religion in the world today, but to become the maker of culture and thought, and even the unity of politics and religion, the actual ruler of the Western Continent, just like the Holy Spirit Church in the past.

The Pope is more certain of this in the miracle of the believer Marcus. In the concession of the Emperor, this railway across the narrow sea from east to west will also be the front of the Eternal Sect to crush other gods and pagans.

The Eternal Sect has reached an agreement with the puppet king of Mulong.

All you need to do is march straight in.

Zote looked at the empty supply station, where even the staff was not there, and felt a chilling murderous intent.

He hunched over, turned over the gravel on the ground, and picked up a somewhat carbonized human tooth from it.

"Has the sect ever had long-term missionary experience before?"

Zote realized that this journey might be far more difficult than he imagined. After completing this feat, he was fully qualified to become the Cardinal.

The Eternal Sect has a strict hierarchy.

It is divided into the Grand Order, the College of Cardinals, and the Court of Arbitration.

The Grand Order refers to the core of the sect in the capital of Alan. The Pope has the highest status, and the High Priest and the High Priest are at the same level. They are also rarely seen. The next level is the Priest, who is the main figure in various sacrificial activities, and then there are a large number of priests, which is equivalent to the position of middle management. The last are naturally clergymen of various ranks and nuns.

The College of Cardinals refers to the branch churches and monasteries extending to all parts of the world, as well as the patrol forces used to integrate them. There are too many positions here, and even consider the work of agencies such as transportation. But the highest position in the College of Cardinals is the Cardinal Archbishop, second only to the Pope, who can command all local cardinals.

The Court of Arbitration is roughly divided into two departments, one is the Sword of Time, which is used for some secret operations or work that requires elites. The other is a pure armed force, used to suppress large-scale pagan or blasphemous priests, fully armed and heavily loaded cans.

In his years of exile, Zot no longer wanted to enter the Court of Arbitration to participate in disputes, but only wanted to return to the top of power.

The Cardinal Archbishop is a very suitable position, with clerical work as the main work, and also has great power second only to the Pope. From a legal point of view, it is at the same level as the Grand Priest of the Grand Order, but the actual power is to suppress it.

But the premise is...

Complete this feat of crossing the narrow sea and crushing all the pagans.

"Of course, some believers took a boat across the narrow sea to preach in Guregrostra, but the effect was not good. But the east of the narrow sea has basically been fully controlled."

The deputy of this operation reported to Zot.

After decades, no one remembers the appearance of these remnants of the previous dynasty except for a very few people. In the Eternal Sect, only a few people know Zote's true identity.

The Emperor's special pursuit team is still hunting Zote.

Zote came to Mulon as a way to avoid being hunted down. After the success, he was already a cardinal, representing the strongest religion in the Western Continent. Who dared to touch him?

But at that time, Zote was already using another name.

"I understand."

Zote replied calmly. What the deputy meant was that it was the first time to forcibly attack cities and violently set up churches along the way.

"The army did not meet at the station. How to carry out the next work?"

Even Zote was a little at a loss. He did not understand the rules of the sect at all.

"You should ask yourself. You are the general person in charge."

The deputy answered respectfully. He did not know who Zote was. He only knew that he was a big man sent by the top. For him, the 18th Sword of Time Formation was specially established.

You know, the Sword of Time is the Pope's sharpest weapon, and this man, who is not a believer and has just joined the church, can become the captain of the formation. This is simply unbelievable. I don't know what kind of hero he is.

Zote's expression became gloomy, as if he pressed a switch, aroused some long-lost memories, and reawakened the instincts that were worn away during more than ten years of escape and more than ten years of imprisonment.

"Do I control everything?"

Zote couldn't believe it. Even though the great priest told him this when he came, he still had to confirm it again. "That's true. The Emperor has been trying to weaken our influence. This time it is only a superficial concession and will not provide us with any support. With the power of the army, this railway will eventually be built. Our biggest The enemy may not come from outside.”

The deputy understood it this way. He guessed that Zote was not an Aramean, and that the sect sent him to carry out a great purge. Whether it was the army or foreign enemies, they had to show their kindness and power as the Dragon Lord.

Zote thought for a moment.

The Principality of Mulon only signed a treaty in recent months and became a vassal state. Before that, it had been a kingdom.

"I remember... the people here believe in the Holy Allah. We first went to the nearest town, demolished the local temple, and recruited workers to build the church."

Zotte looked back and saw that there were many intellectuals in the sect, and there were also many priests accompanying this trip, who were proficient in architecture, and some geologists.

"Is it too fast? Although we have already reached an agreement with the principality, even if we make a sudden attack, we still need the support of the local lords and the necessary documentary evidence to purchase the land."

The deputy didn't quite agree with Zotte's opinion, but he was only acting as a consultant, and the decision-making power rested with Zotte.

In a sense.

Sects are far more civilized than the army, and religious identity and cultural identity are greater than armed control.

"The documents during the war were all waste paper, so the speed would be very slow. Now that the railway has been built here, the local lord... is already a dog of Alan. The sect has too much funds. After demolishing the church, it will give alms to the obedient people. , they will know who the real God is.”

Zote had murderous intentions towards Army General Crocodile Island, and what happened today must have been a deliberate act of intimidation by him.

But he couldn't be killed in a short period of time, otherwise it would give Wang Ting another chance to get angry.

This time it was good luck. Wang Ting did not expect that the sect would be so bold and kidnap the emperor's favored person. His luck would not be so good in the future. As long as Wang Ting caught the slightest hint of trouble, he would definitely make a big fuss.

You can only control him and destroy him mentally.

Zote does not trust the Sword of Time. He is just a bunch of religious lunatics. The sect only lent it to him temporarily for profit. He must develop his own power and a sword of his own.

Not only was there no one at the supply depot, there were no horses either.

Crocodile Island left the Holy See in the air without leaving any face.

In this case, I don't have to be a good person, I just can't kill them, I have plenty of means.

"You guys stay here, I'll go check on the situation first."

Zote asked his deputies and large troops to guard the train. After all, they were in a foreign country and at odds with the army. This was the most important means of transportation.

Taking only a few civil priests with him, he walked to the nearest town.

"How about we wait here for the general? This is a railway area. If something happens, there will be traces. If it happens in the wild?"

The deputy suggested, to be honest, the status of soldiers in Syria is no lower than that of priests, and they are even more frightening to the people. Those people are murderers without blinking an eye. It is possible... to kill them in this foreign country. , and then framed it for the Resistance Army.

I could see the deputy's worry. He was afraid that he would die outside, be ambushed, or something like that.

"You don't know who I am..."

Anyway, no one here knows me, and it has been almost thirty years.

Zote took off the dragon mask, revealing a terrifying face. Three hideous scars were scratched from the forehead to the chin by the beast. One eye was removed and it was completely hollow.

Although he has wrinkles, he doesn't have the slightest trace of old age. He once stood at the top of power and ate many rare things. Even though he is a remnant of the country's destruction, he looks like he has just passed his prime.

He took those people away without looking back.

The riot in the Northern Prison eleven years ago.

Li Site used corrosive agents to rescue many old cannons on the road, including Hunjiang Long Henid, Cangshan Tobacco Company, Seventh Amendment, Taisheng Bank, Yunheng Minerals, Cyrodiil Brotherhood, and a long-standing The boss of a secret organization.

These people on the path know that they alone cannot break free from the hell directly run by the King of Aram, the largest and most powerful prison in the world, and those who are imprisoned in the deepest layers of the hell must be released.

It was the beginning of today's chaos in the Western Continent.

Among those who committed great sins was Zotte.

Let him see the light of day again.

Before leaving Alan, Zotte went to the National Museum at Dragonstone Square and saw Ogne's corpse specimen.

Yes.

The most dangerous man in the world is dead.

Those sergeants, all the tragic wreckage, are slowly disappearing from history.

No one misses those days.

Except Zotte.
