In the Name of the Queen

Under the dome of the golden-spire cathedral, the goddess opens her arms and embraces the whole world with a holy smile.

In front of the huge statue of the goddess, the girl shrouded in holy light crossed her hands on her chest, chanting sacred poems softly from her mouth, and the sacred arias echoed throughout the church.

But there was no audience except her.

The hymns sung today are dedicated to the great goddess, and no one else has the right to listen.

The song ended and there was no response.

A helpless sigh sounded, and the girl slowly opened her eyes, her face gradually becoming colder.

It had been a long time since she'd heard the goddess' response.

This is the Holy City, and she is the pope who commands the believers in this plane. Previously, her prayers were always listened to by the goddess, and occasionally there were responses.

But after she became pope, the blessings from the goddess never came again.

Could it be that the goddess doesn’t approve of me? Or is the goddess questioning my piety?

Christine's eyes were a little more confused.

While at a loss, the corners of her lips became a little bitter.

Her beliefs have indeed changed somewhat compared to where she was a few years ago.

If the goddess ordered Roland's assassination at that time, she might be confused, but she would definitely take action.

If the goddess gave the same order now, she would defend Roland.

This was probably the reason why she couldn't get a response from the goddess.

Christine walked to the window and remembered what happened a few days ago.

There were many anonymous letters reporting to her, reporting that the Knights of Light had impure beliefs and had fallen into darkness and must be purified.

Some people even reported it with their real names.

These real-name informants are all ascetics.

The status of ascetics in the divine court is very special. They do not join any factions and do not hold specific power, but they have a very high level and a transcendent status.

The ascetics are a group of cultivators who are devoted to cultivation, have good strength and are pure-hearted. They have a great reputation within the palace, and their opinions cannot be avoided by Christine.

In order to silence these people, Christine chose the method that could best prove Roland's innocence.

She activated the crystal ball that recorded the image, and patted it with the palm of light openly.

If Roland had fallen, this slap would be enough for him.

If Roland had not fallen, this palm would have turned into a long-lasting BUFF, increasing Roland's affinity with light.

Facts speak louder than words, Roland withstood the test, and her last worry disappeared.

After that slap, Christine added Roland to the list of devout believers.

She threw the crystal ball in front of everyone, leaving behind her orders.

"Anyone who dares to slander the Knight of Light will be burned at the stake!"

She could block her questioning mouth, but she couldn't block her own heart.

Christine is not a fool. She certainly knows how much Roland's "piety" is.

This guy has long been accustomed to changing the situation. If someone offers a high enough price, he will abandon his faith without hesitation.

His bottom line has always been so flexible.

Christine may not care about Roland's flexible bottom line, but the goddess will care unless Roland makes indelible contributions.

For example, help the goddess pacify those rebellious tribes before she comes?

A relieved smile appeared on Christine's lips.

No matter how tight the ticket to heaven is, she will leave one for Roland.

For no other reason, Roland also left her a boat ticket.

In the Battle of Baishan, if it weren't for Roland, she would have turned into a pile of ice chips.

She doesn't like being in debt to her friends.

Under the dome of the golden-spire cathedral, the goddess opens her arms and embraces the whole world with a holy smile.

In front of the huge statue of the goddess, the girl shrouded in holy light crossed her hands on her chest, chanting sacred poems softly from her mouth, and the sacred arias echoed throughout the church.

After finishing singing exhausted, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

Eyes without pupils, smooth jade-like skin burning with holy flames, facial features delicate and picturesque but lacking a bit of life.

Obviously, this girl is not human.

She sighed: "Supreme Lord of Light, you are so holy and merciful. We are the descendants of the Sixth Legion of Divine Punishment. We need you to guide the way, us."

Still no response.

The girl was slightly disappointed. She stood up and sighed quietly, "Great Lord, please bless your believer Irene. I have a hunch that danger is approaching."

"My child, your prayers are heard."

Irene's body trembled suddenly, and the holy flames were like flames in the strong wind, jumping wildly.

She knelt down tremblingly, unable to believe her eyes.

Just when she was too excited to speak, a ray of holy light descended and fell on her body.

"Go, my child, and accept my blessing for your battle."

Erin burst into tears with excitement and let the holy light bathe her body.

The blessing of the great goddess came just in time.

Just as she knelt down to accept the blessing, a huge roar tore through the night, waking up the God's Punishment Island who was still in his sleep.

This is where the remainder of the Sixth Legion of Divine Punishment resides.

The Sixth Legion that year did not complete the mission of divine punishment, and after their defeat, the rest of the army rested here.

Bad news: They are all elemental beings, and there is no way to continue their descendants by plundering human women.

Good news: They are all elemental beings and can use pure elemental cores to create life.

Even better news is that the nearby sea is very rich in water and wind elements. In this way, the Sixth Legion took advantage of the situation and was reborn.

But the strength of the reborn Sixth Legion has long been far less than before, so they had to work hard to restore their strength.

In order to restore their strength as soon as possible, they had to lower the standards and accept some devout human believers as grassroots honorary members.

These human believers undertake the complicated work and hard labor of God's Punishment Island.

Given the workload of these believers, it would be an exaggerated number if they were paid.

But the God's Punishment Legion did not intend to pay at all.

This is to serve the great goddess, and you still want to collect money. Your faith is very problematic.

Under various PUAs and military coercion, the believers and hard laborers dared not resist even if they felt something was wrong.

God's Punishment Island is a floating island. Once you enter, you can't leave. They have nowhere to escape and can only live a miserable life like slaves.

As of this moment, there are more than a thousand elementals and more than 500,000 human slaves on God's Punishment Island.

These slaves have reproduced for many generations, and their descendants have been oppressed since childhood. They have no good feelings for the God's Punishment Legion, which holds the power of life and death and does not treat them as human beings, and they also have no faith in the goddess.

God's Punishment Island has become the weakest link in the world's average faith.

The top leaders of the God's Punishment Legion did not expect this result, but they did not care.

They have whips and butcher knives, do these bastards still want to resist?

It has only been 1,800 years since the end of the first half of the Sixth Era, leaving them with very little time, so they are the weakest God's Punishment Legion in existence.

But they still do not think that humans with many internal conflicts dare to provoke them.

They are more worried about the arrival of the Dark Elves.

Just a few weeks ago, the succubus who hid their identities and sneaked into the God's Punishment Island and disguised as a slave of believers was discovered.

These succubi are tough. They know that they will die and commit suicide directly, without giving them the opportunity to torture.

But they don't know that the corpse can also speak.

After reading the memory of the corpse, the names of the Dark Elves and the Demon King surfaced.

After the top leaders of the Sixth Legion held a meeting to study, they unanimously agreed that the Dark Elves would launch an offensive with the God's Punishment Island as the coordinates.

Since the Dark Elves can win the resurrection match, they certainly need a foothold in the material plane.

The God's Punishment Legion arranged defensive fortifications at various key points on the God's Punishment Island to prevent the arrival of the Darkborn, but they never dreamed that the threat came from the sea.

When hundreds of warships opened fire at the same time, the God's Punishment Island was confused.

Their defenses were all for internal airborne defense, but the result was a beach landing. How to defend against this?

Due to lack of manpower, the coastal defenses of the God's Punishment Island can only be arranged in key areas, but the enemy who came this time did not play by the routine at all, and landed directly from the beach, making all their defense arrangements invalid.

The legion leader Xavius ​​got up from his sleep in a rage. He was covered in holy flames and roared loudly, beating the war drums and calling on his people to fight.

Even if he didn't call, others were awakened by the sound of the bombardment.

The elemental life of the God's Punishment Legion formed a supervisory team to urge the believers and slaves to act as cannon fodder and die.

Let them eat the shells!

Let them fill the line of troops!

This is the duty of the supervisory team.

Just as they drove the slaves to rush forward to die, the artillery fire on the battlefield stopped abruptly, and the night was silent as if nothing had happened.

This strange and terrifying silence made the supervisors feel numb.

Their ominous premonition soon came true.

The raid came unexpectedly.

Meteorites fell continuously, smashing the water and wind elements horribly.

Water restrains fire, but when there is enough fire, it also restrains water.

Lisa cast a spell with all her strength, and these newly created elementals had never seen such a battle, and were directly stunned.

Some water elements were evaporated into water vapor before they could turn into waves and escape.

Elementals do not need to follow the rules of flesh and blood life, but they are suppressed by the rules of the universe.

As long as the temperature is high enough, water cannot remain in liquid form, and the combat effectiveness of water elements will be greatly reduced.

With the destruction of the supervisors, Roland began his psychological offensive.

Under his suggestion, Sif and Munina sang the Siren's Song together and began to control and brainwash these poor believer slaves.

They are a member of the human race, enslaved by the damned elemental people, which is really pitiful, and they have a fighting will that exceeds that of ordinary humans, and have the advantages that Roland values ​​most.

They have nothing left, and everything they have was destroyed by the damned elemental people.

They will lose nothing except the shackles.

They are fearless, they are strong-willed, and they can be an invincible iron army with a little training.

The God's Punishment Legion must be completely wiped out, and the believer slaves must be preserved as much as possible.

This is Roland's combat strategy.

He only needs to make a request, and the fleet commander Catalina will execute it.

After obtaining the recognition of the three artifacts of the Sea King, almost all intelligent life in the underwater world recognizes her identity as the queen and the successor of the Sea King.

Since the queen is the successor of the Sea King, whoever she says is a traitor is the traitor.

After a one-sided battle, the conservative forces of the Sea King's Palace were disintegrated in just one day.

Catalina did not expand the scope of the attack. She only executed a few key members. She defined the backbones of the Sea King Palace below the middle level as those who were coerced and deceived.

The special pardon she signed gave the Sea King Palace peace of mind.

The killing of the Sea King Palace was controlled, but Catalina could not stand her grandfather's betrayal.

She did not return to the tribe, nor did she see Pride.

She was afraid that if she saw Pride, she would not be able to resist and stab him.

Her attitude towards the old Deng who sold his granddaughter for benefits was cold and direct.

"Abdicate, or die."

After a little thought, the old marshal finally bowed to reality and took the initiative to choose to retire.

Just kidding, the Sea King Palace couldn't stop his good granddaughter, what can he do?

Now bowing down, his family branch is just temporarily leaving the main stage of power, and there will be opportunities in the future.

If she really resisted, that unfilial granddaughter would not hesitate to kill her relatives for the sake of justice, right?

The old marshal accepted the conditions dejectedly, and the Tianmu tribe successfully realized the transfer of power. No guns were fired or swords were used in the whole process.

The reason why Catalina was able to reconcile with the Sea King Palace and her grandfather was mainly because they were the best of the ocean clan, and the loss was huge if they were all killed.

But the God's Punishment Corps is different.

These guys are real diehards and must be eliminated.

In the sky full of flames and the ethereal siren song, the commander of the God's Punishment Corps, Savis, was surprised to find the loophole of the invaders.

In order to ensure the effect of the siren song, the invader fleet does not use artillery during the singing.

This is the best time!

Just as Xavius ​​was about to issue an order, he suddenly felt a familiar and powerful breath approaching.

He looked back and saw that it was Saint Irene of the God's Punishment Legion.

Many religions like to have some saints to fill the facade, and Irene's position is the same.

Her strength is not outstanding, but there is some.

Her brain is not smart, but it is enough.

At least it is easy to be a vase.

However, Irene's appearance this time made Xavius ​​feel a little strange.

She seems to be no longer a vase? This judgment made Xavius ​​a little uneasy.

Irene pressed down with one hand, signaling everyone to listen to her.

While the elementals were eagerly waiting for the result, Irene said something that surprised them all.

"I heard the goddess' call and received her merciful reward. The great goddess even predicted the battle tonight."

In order to enhance the authenticity of her words, Irene raised her arm and showed the goddess' blessing.

Her right arm had an angel-like mark.

This mark doubled her strength several times, and also forced her to work hard to adapt to her new identity.

The appearance of the angel mark turned the elemental people from a scattered group into the most united team.

They shouted and picked up their weapons, and even rushed out to form their own groups without waiting for Irene's instructions to resist the invaders.

Looking at the appearance of these elemental people, Xavius's expression was particularly complicated.

Out of control, all out of control.

The status of the goddess in the minds of these elemental people is almost omniscient and omnipotent.

With Irene, who represents the goddess, can he still be the head of the legion?

Judging from everyone's performance just now, he, the head of the legion, was gorgeously ignored.

Xavius ​​rushed out with everyone with some worries, but he was still not used to mixing with the rookies and fell alone at the end.

It's over, how can he consolidate his power? The future is still so long, he doesn't want to wait!

He really didn't wait.

Just when he was lost, a holy light hammer fell from the sky and smashed his head heavily.

White, red, and yellow gushed out. Poor Xavius ​​didn't understand until his death why he was chosen as the leader even though he wasn't that strong.

Just cannon fodder. (End of this chapter)
