Lord of War

The God of War ceremony is the most important ceremony in the entire North Principality Federation.

Basically, every child born in the Northern Principality Federation can obtain various strength improvements and increases in this ceremony. Because the God of War ceremony is performed when all the children of the Northern Principality Federation are coming of age, the God of War ceremony is also called the "God of War coming-of-age ceremony". Compared with this, the coming-of-age ceremony held by children from other countries and empires is simply weak. .

Of course, it's not that other countries and empires want to follow suit, but the God of War ceremony is indeed irreproducible and unique. At least, no blessing bestowed by any god can permanently enhance a person's strength and potential, and even have an extremely profound and beneficial impact on his future. And people from the Northern Principality Federation officially relied on this to make this country with a deformed federation form a super-first-class kingdom.

Located in the center of the core of the entire North Principality federal territory: the Marz Cathedral, dozens of God of War ceremonies are held every day. According to the scores of the comprehensive evaluation conducted by all the young people who participated in the principality tour and successfully arrived here, the potential, achievements and many other evaluations, the levels of the ceremony hall where they hold the God of War ceremony are also different, most people can use it The ceremony halls are all at the second level, which is the normal level.

Only a small number of people are eligible to use the third-level ceremony hall. As for the fourth-level ceremonial hall, only those real talents with excellent assessment and evaluation are eligible to use it. This rule, even the internal clergy of the Church of God of War, has no right to change or conceal it.

Even for the Pope's only son, Muru, the ceremony hall he used was only a second-level ceremony hall.

As for the Marz Cathedral, there are a total of forty-nine ceremony halls. Each of the seven ceremony halls has a theme style, and there are two first-level ceremony halls, two second-level ceremony halls, two third-level ceremony halls, and one fourth-level ceremony hall. The forty-nine ceremony halls have a total of seven themes, which respectively symbolize the seven priesthood domains of war: battle, war, strategy, conquest, killing, glory and destruction.

However, according to Andrew, after the fall of the second-generation God of War Argusen, the priesthood of the God of War was broken into five large pieces and six small pieces.

The complete godhead mastered by the god of war Marz is fighting and war, and another third is conquest and killing. And the other main god who belongs to the same war priesthood system: the goddess of victory, Vinnas, has a complete godhood of strategy and glory. There is also a third of the conquering and killing godhead. As for the remaining one-third of the conquering, killing, and complete destruction godhood, it fell into the hands of the God of Destruction Bodias.

In other words, Maltz is not actually the real God of War, he claims to be the God of War. It's just deceiving his followers. It is also because of this that the relationship between the Church of God of War, the Church of Victory, and the Church of Destruction is very unharmonious.

However, in addition to the seven themed ceremony halls, there is another largest ceremony hall: the God of War Hall.

This ceremony hall is also known as the meeting hall, except that it is dedicated to the God of War ceremony for the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden. At the same time, it is also the place where discussions are held when the Northern Principality Federation holds a meeting.

Originally, every day, countless people lined up to hold the God of War ceremony in the ceremony hall.

However, with the arrival of the Holy Maiden and the preparations for the Holy Maiden's God of War ceremony, all the forty-nine ceremony halls have stopped performing the God of War ceremony. The Holy Maiden's God of War ceremony can only be performed after the end, in order to show their respect for the God of War and respect for the Holy Maiden.

The God of War Hall is located in the middle of the seven themed ceremony halls. In other words, no matter which ceremony hall the believers who accept the God of War ceremony go to, they must follow the road to the God of War hall. When the Northern Principality Federation Conference and the God of War ceremony of the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden were not held. The God of War Hall is open, and all believers who perform the God of War ceremony need to bow down devoutly to the statue of Marz in the God of War Hall after arriving at the God of War Hall.

But today is different.

Due to the closure of the other seven theme ceremony halls, only the God of War hall is still open, but the surrounding security is obviously extremely strict.

A team of twenty War God knights stood guard at the eight gates of the God of War Hall. As for the God of War knights and priests of the God of War patrolling the periphery, there are even more of them. It can even be said that the entire God of War church has been mobilized at this moment, so that Emily's God of War ceremony can go smoothly.

On the way to the Hall of God of War, there are beautifully pruned flowers and trees and sculptures of various knights and warriors. It can be seen from this point. Although the Church of God of War also has its own priests of divine arts, they are essentially more focused on hand-to-hand combat, which is completely different from the Church of Victory—the followers of the goddess of victory, Vinnas, pay more attention to tactics. and strategic development. Their church professions have a more balanced development, ranging from long-range attack to melee combat, which is very in line with the impression of the godhead of "strategy".

A special guard composed of more than a hundred God of War knights was slowly moving towards the gate of the God of War Hall.

In the middle of this team is Emily, the newly promoted saintess of the Church of God of War.

Originally accompanying Emily to the God of War Hall at this time, there should be eight female servants of the God of War and the black-robed priest Mulu. But at this moment. Following Emily were two priests in black robes with their hoods covered and their hands inserted into their sleeves. Their identities and genders could not be discerned at all.

This kind of behavior is a very impolite behavior in the Marz Cathedral.

Under normal circumstances, any guard patrolling the Marz Cathedral has the right to ask the priest to remove the hood for identification. But this time, the hundreds of God of War knights around them took a lenient attitude towards the situation, and had no intention of identifying the other party at all. This made the God of War knights standing at the entrance of the God of War hall feel a little puzzled.

It's just that even the saint Emily didn't say anything, and the others naturally wouldn't say anything either.

Seeing this huge team approaching slowly, the Pope of the Church of the God of War immediately went out to greet them with several internal clergy and maidservants of the God of War. However, when he saw that there were no eight Goddess of War maids whom he had arranged in this team, and even his son Mulu was not present, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and there was even a little bit in his pupils. Surprised, but the eyes of the two black-robed priests who followed Emily were also full of doubts and unkindness.

Andrew and Sean naturally had a panoramic view of all this.

They also clearly saw that the pope was secretly observing the hundreds of God of War knights scattered into eight groups. But from the look in his eyes, it was obvious that the result disappointed him a bit. Because he didn't see those God of War knights who had secretly surrendered to him in this team. It's just that this state, as if it made him make up some kind of determination, raised his head and straightened his back.

"My lord saint." The pope, who was not too old, said in a deep voice, and his tone had a sense of majesty in line with his status. "The Hall of God of War is the most important core forbidden area of ​​the church. Not only did you come here with such great fanfare, but you also set up this kind of battle formation. Are you trying to disrespect our lord?"

"Then Pope, please tell me." Emily said coldly. This is in line with the image of the so-called saint, but her tone and attitude are obviously not like a newly promoted saint, "What are there so many war god knights and battle priests outside the war god hall? They arranged here, who is disrespecting our lord?...Could it be that the Pope wants to replace our lord?"

"His Royal Highness!" The pope's voice became extremely low, as if he was about to burst out with anger, "They are the guard knights of the Maltz Cathedral, and they are in charge of the entire Maltz Cathedral. Safety! Today is because your War God Ceremony will be held here. That's why they are specially asked to come here for protection..."

"No need." Emily said lightly, but interrupted the Pope mercilessly, "The safety of the Cathedral is more important than my personal safety. Whether it is the Holy Son or the Holy Daughter, both It is just a container for the coming of the will of our Lord. We are only a symbol, but not the only one, nor everything. On the contrary, the Marz Cathedral is the most important core, and this is the authoritative holy place that symbolizes the supremacy of our Lord! Let them all return to their respective posts, my safety will be the responsibility of my guards."

"Your guard?" The Pope laughed angrily. "I don't know who the guard you are referring to, Her Majesty the Holy Maiden?"

"My lord pope, are you too old and too blind to see clearly?" Emily sarcastically mercilessly said, "If this is the case, then I think you should give up the position of the pope."

In an instant. The pope's face turned red in an instant. He pointed at Emily and shouted: "Presumptuous! Even if you are a saint, you have no right to interfere in the political issues within the church. As the Pope of the Church of God of War , was appointed by my lord, this is my lord's approval of my pious belief!...Emily, are you trying to rebel?"

"Don't give me these hats, because it's meaningless." Emily still looked downcast, not taking the Pope's words of accusation to heart at all, "If you say, my lord is only because of your piety. If your position as pope is approved, then I feel that my appearance is enough to take your place....Since this is the case, there is no difference between having you and not having you, and you can step down."

Having said that, Emily's eyes have passed the Pope directly, and then fell on the heads of the highest powers who belong to the various departments of the Church of God of War behind him. However, her eyes were still extremely cold, especially when she saw one or two indifferent Goddess of War maids following each of these people, Emily's inner anger almost reached its peak.

"You don't need to guard here anymore. Go back to your posts." Emily suppressed her inner anger forcibly, and glanced sideways at the God of War knights guarding the God of War Hall who hadn't figured out the situation before her. He softly ordered, "Before you leave, go and inform the others."

All the God of War knights looked at each other, but no one left. They obviously didn't understand what was going on. Of course, the most important thing is that Emily's current order is a leapfrog order. According to the church rules of the God of War Church, this is not in line with the rules, so it is normal for these God of War knights not to obey the order.

Sean and Andrew remained silent the whole time and did not speak.

Andrew didn't speak because he didn't have a good impression of the entire Church of God of War, not even Maltz. In his opinion, Maltz was not even as good as his previous two Gods of War. At least the churches of those two Gods of War did not have so many messy things. So he was worried that once he spoke, he couldn't help but slaughter everyone in the entire God of War Church.

And Sean, the reason why he didn't speak. Purely just to see Emily's control ability. He wanted to know if Emily had the ability to control a fully formed church. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, Emily handles things with great strength and control. So far, everyone has fallen into Emily's rhythm. From this point of view, it is not a coincidence that she can control such a large mercenary group.

"Hmph, Lord Emily, please stop in moderation." The corner of the pope's mouth slightly raised, with a bit of complacency on his face, "Your behavior is not worthy of the title of 'Holy Maiden' at all." ,you……"

"Today, this is the second time I've heard this sentence." Emily interrupted the Pope mercilessly again, "The maids you sent to arrest and monitor me did the same with me. Said."

Hearing this, the pope's expression changed suddenly: "Where is Mulu! What have you done to Mulu!"

"Muru?" Emily tilted her head, and then smiled with a suddenly realized expression, "You mean that lowly person who is as ugly as a devil? He has been worshiped by the Lord for insulting me." I'm punished... Not only can't I even enter the divine kingdom of my lord, I'm afraid no god is willing to accept its soul. Oh. By the way, your eight maids will also end up in the same way."

"You!" The Pope's face became very ugly, "You killed my son?"

"Not only are your eyes bad, but your ears are also bad?" Emily said lightly, "I said, he has already been punished by God. ... And, this is the end of being disrespectful to me. And , Didn’t I tell you earlier? Because of my appearance, you are no longer the most devout believer, I’m enough to take your place.”

"Hehe, then I would like to ask Your Highness the Holy Maiden to prove it." The Pope took a few deep breaths in a row, even though his eyes were red like a bull in heat, he still maintained his sanity. He didn't say nonsense such as "You are not a saint", but asked Emily to prove the piety of both parties in another extremely calm way.

In fact, whether a believer is devout enough for the gods he believes in, apart from the believers themselves, only the gods who listen to their hearts can know. So the Pope asked Emily to prove that his faith was not as good as Emily's at this moment, except that Maltz would know it clearly. Others have no way of knowing, at least Emily is obviously unable to prove the authenticity of such a thing.

And if Emily can't prove it, then the pope will obviously have better means to attack Emily's prestige.

If Emily has the matching ability to be able to control a mercenary group, then as being able to compete with the two holy sons for a long time, even annexed the two holy sons immediately after they died one after another, while still firmly controlling the entire God of War Church With more than two-thirds of the power, it can be said that the ability of the Pope of the God of War Church is definitely above Emily. At least, definitely above Emily without the help of Andrew and Sean.

"I wanted to save some face for you, but since you don't cherish it yourself, then you can't blame me." Emily shook her head gently.

"I also ask His Royal Highness to prove it." The Pope still kept smiling.

So, Emily stretched out her right hand gently, pointing at the Pope, her voice was as soft as singing: "My lord said that any existence that dares to violate its will is a fake, and it will be punished by burning with divine fire.  … ...if there is kindness in the heart, it will be purified from evil; if there is evil in the heart, it will be...death."

As Emily's words fell, the surrounding air became particularly depressing.

It was as if there was really an awe-inspiring will coming.

Of course, it's not that Maltz's will is descending, but that Andrew is exuding his dragon power.

There has never been an ancient giant dragon in this place for tens of thousands of years, and these people around have no experience in fighting dragon creatures with dragon power at all, so they don't know what the so-called dragon power is at all. of. They only knew that when Emily finished speaking, they only felt a sense of fear and trembling from their souls, which made them all have an urge to kneel down and worship at this moment**.

The pope's expression became particularly horrified.

Because not only did he feel the appearance of this awe-inspiring aura, but he also felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter. But all of this has completely surpassed his cognition. Although as the pope, he does possess some very unique god of war magic, but now, even if he roars madly in his heart and even starts to cooperate with gestures to perform magic, all None of the magical arts appeared on him.

Finally, a few seconds after Emily finished speaking, flames suddenly ignited from the Pope's body, igniting him into a human-shaped torch in just one second.

The pope let out an extremely frantic scream, and even wanted to run, but Andrew, who was standing next to Emily, just took a step forward, and the pope was directly crushed as if he had been cast into a shape-setting spell. Frozen in place, unable to move at all. The only thing that could still take action was his extremely crazy and tragic shouts and cries for help.

But in this scene like God's wrath, no one dared to act without authorization, let alone save people.

Therefore, after the flame burned for just three seconds, all the flames suddenly disappeared again.

If it hadn't been for the Pope, a living being, who disappeared in front of everyone out of thin air, and left some off-white powder on the ground, no one would have dared to believe what he saw just now. In just three seconds, the spiritual leader of the Church of God of War appointed by Marz disappeared completely. If this is not God's punishment, no one knows what it can be called God's punishment.

Among all the people present, except for Emily, Sean, and Andrew, no one had a good face.

Even if it was the hundreds of God of War knights who followed Emily, even if it was the second time they had seen this kind of scene—the first time, it was when Sean found out that Emily was sent by the Pope to monitor him, and then Those God of War knights who were turned into ashes by Emily in the same way—but their faces were extremely ugly.

Because of Emily's behavior at this time, no matter how many times she watched it, the impressions in the hearts of all Maltz believers were only shock and fear.

"It seems that our pope is not only a hypocrite, but also an extremely evil person." Emily said indifferently, "It seems that we need to thoroughly investigate how this hypocrite hid the truth from our lord. And become the Pope." At this point, Emily looked around, and then said in a deep voice: "What are you still doing here? Didn't you hear what I just said?"

All the God of War knights sent here by the Pope to perform guard duties suddenly shuddered. After saluting Emily, they immediately turned and left.

Seeing the departure of those God of War knights, Emily glanced at those so-called high-level officials again, and said in a deep voice, "Leave too, I don't need you."

So, each of these so-called high-level officials breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Emily, and left here with the Goddess of War maid beside her.

In an instant, only Emily, Sean, and Andrew were left in the God of War Hall.

As for the hundreds of God of War knights who followed Emily, they naturally took over the defense of the God of War Hall and closed all eight gates at the same time. They had already received Emily's order before that, and during her God of War ceremony, no matter what sounds they heard, they could not open the gate of the God of War hall without Emily's permission, otherwise they would be punished by God .

Seeing that all the preparations were in place, Emily looked at Sean and said softly, "Please, Mr. Sean."

"Well, let's start." Sean nodded lightly.

Then Emily raised her head and drank the awakening potion that Sean brought from Oscar, while kneeling in front of the statue of Maltz, and began to pray for the God of War ceremony.

Or……
