"Changing one's destiny is a very difficult but also very simple thing."
Theodore comforted Sisien, who reported the news to himself, the candle was burning on the golden candlestick, and the light and shadow were brilliant.
Sisian brought him some unexpected news.
There was an urgent message from Hered City through a secret method, and Queen Illinois of Koya really attacked the throne with the alchemist knight. After getting this news, Xi Sian looked worried. He tried to communicate with Hrid City again through a special method, but the connection was interrupted. They have no way of knowing what's going on at the pier right now.
"If Tianzhou is destined to appear in this world, even if ten Queen Keya leads ten teams of alchemists, it cannot change."
"But how do we know if Tianzhou is destined to appear in this world?"
Xi Sian asked back, he didn't understand why Si Auld was so calm, as if Si Auld actually didn't care whether the Tianzhou could come smoothly - but that was obviously the key to turning the tide of the battle.
"I think, maybe it's my attitude that made you misunderstand something. My dear old friend." Siold smiled, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of Hrid City, "Tianzhou has a lot to do with our battle situation. It's important, but it's not really about helping us destroy as many cities and kill as many people."
"what do you mean?"
Sisien was confused.
"I'm just waiting for them to attack Hrid City." Siold put down the book, "Our old rival was hidden deep enough that the alchemist knight from a thousand years ago appeared on the battlefield until the return of the dragon. This is our neglect of Legrand's plan, and until this battle, I was still thinking about how to deal with this most brilliant crystallization of alchemists."
Sisian caught something vaguely: "So Hrid City is a trap? But..."
"Why did we choose to land at Porto Port?" Theodore asked, but did not give Scythian a chance to answer, "A raid by a terrifying and fast-moving Alchemist Knight against the Holy Army organized by different armies It is deadly. Our Knights of the Temple cannot stop their charge, let alone ordinary troops? The real meaning of the existence of Port Hered and the Dock of the Seat is to contain this terrifying army and prevent them from joining the battlefield freely. ."
"Your real goal is not to let the Tianzhou come, but to destroy the Alchemy Knight?"
Sisian was vaguely frightened.
"God will punish the world with his wrath, when sinners do not repent." Siold read out one of the Holy See's teachings, "The heavenly boat is the boat of salvation and the boat of disaster. Those who destroy it … will be punished for all eternity.”
If the alchemy knights do not attack the city of Hereid, then the sky boat will really come to turn the tide of the battle. If the alchemy knights attack the city of Hereid, then they will be smashed to pieces together with Tianzhou and God Throne.
This is a conspiracy.
And even if Legrand knew the truth, there was nothing he could do, because they simply could not bear the consequences of the arrival of the heavenly boat.
"The Lord bless me and wait."
Sissian lightly drew a cross on his chest. He bowed out of the Pope's room.
Siold watched his friend leave, and put the ancient scroll in his hand on the table. He would be astonished if he saw the contents of the scroll he was reading. Because it records the old gods and miracles believed by the city-states of the Abyss Strait and some related ancient prophecies. The Holy See has already defined these as "heretics" and strictly prohibited anyone from reading them.
As the Pope, the spiritual symbol of the Holy See, Siold should have thrown these scrolls into the sacred fire and burned them.
"It is very difficult to change fate." Siold stared at the past of the old gods, "Even the gods cannot escape death."
On the dossier, a picture of the end of BC is depicted in simple handwriting.
Temples collapsed, statues turned to ashes, and the kingdom of gods in the sky fell apart.
"Let me see, who will win in the end of this fateful outcome."
Siold muttered to himself.
…
Maester Keya walked through the ruins, the burning city and the dead bones, and walked quickly towards the Swan Harbor pier in Hrid City. Illinois did not let him participate in tonight's operation, but left him outside the city of Herid. From now on, the city is completely in ruins.
This is a scarred city, and its destruction is destined to be written into history.
Maester Keya witnessed the entire process of the city's destruction.
Even its destruction is in their budget.
Tonight they attacked Hered City prepared for the worst, so things are completely different from Eagle's Beak. According to the observations of the weather and the corresponding astrology of Hereid City by the Bachelor of Keya during this period, they have understood that the "God constellation" of Hereid City is completely different from the "God constellation" of Eagle Mouth Bay. When the sky boat appeared in Eagle Mouth Bay, it was the resonance of the almost complete shrine itself before it was about to be destroyed, but the shrine in Hereid City was purely built to summon the sky ark as quickly as possible.
The moment the Throne was activated, the moment it was destroyed, they simply couldn't stop the Tianzhou from coming by destroying the Throne.
Their only option was to destroy the Skyship as it descended.
The process of Tianzhou's arrival is the moment when the power of the human world and the broken kingdom of gods meet, and it is also the most chaotic and unstable moment in space. They only need to destroy the passage, and there is a high probability that the unfinished arrival of the sky boat will be destroyed in the power turmoil. However, the problem that followed was that the destruction of Tianzhou was likely to trigger another force to come.
That is the Lord.
At the end of the legend era, when the gods fell, only the Holy Lord could always perform miracles through the Holy Court on the earth. The existence of the Blessed One and the Legion of Angels has proved that the Lord has not completely fallen.
As for the divine punishment that the Holy Lord descended on the earth, the most clear one recorded in the holy book was about a prophecy. A wise man made a prophecy that was wiped from the world outside the city gates. That prophecy alarmed the Holy Lord, who sent down thunder and fire, and destroyed the city overnight, and the place where the city was located has remained uninhabited since then.
But do they really have to pay such a price to destroy Tianzhou? At the cost of a city, even if the population of this city has long been wiped out due to the war.
"If the sky boat does come, the land will be desolate, the river will dry up, and it will not only be a city that will die." Illinois said, "We always have to pay something, and pay some price in exchange for victory. It used to be so, now it is So it will be so in the future.”
So, he witnessed the scene of the destruction of the sky boat and the arrival of the real divine punishment.
The pure white, majestic holy ship broke its mast in the violent whirlpool, and thousands of oars made of the wings of an unknown divine bird scattered from the sky, as gorgeous as a meteor shower. Immediately after that, the entire space shook, the city wall collapsed in the shaking, and he only found it difficult to stand outside the city.
There was an ominous atmosphere between heaven and earth, thousands of thunders fell from the sky, and the world was illuminated in a flash. God wants to teach people to witness their own destruction. The scene that took place long ago in the city where the prophecy was born reappears, the god venting his wrath with thunder and fire.
The power of the gods is mighty, and the houses of the whole city are destroyed and shattered one by one in the thunder. The fire burned against the ground, and the flames engulfed the city.
Shaped like the end, shaped like a judgment.
By the time the thunder stopped, the entire city had been razed to the ground, and only flames burned on the rubble.
The ruined city was silent.
Master Keya held a crystal pendant, walked through the unextinguished fire, and found Swan Harbor.
"teacher."
He was searching in the ruins. There were still some wrecks of the holy ship Tianzhou scattered here. The faint white light of the wreckage was incompatible with the surrounding charred black.
The armor of the alchemist knight was also scattered on the ground.
The human guardians who once slept in the long night did what they wanted. After all, they became the shield of mortals to meet the wrath of the gods. They fought for this in their lifetime, and after their death, they were finally annihilated under this mission, and there will be no alchemists in the world since then.
Maester Keya was dizzy as he trudged through the shards of armor on the ground.
"teacher!"
He suddenly burst into ecstasy and staggered forward.
The black-haired queen sat quietly on the ruined pier, among the alchemy armors on the ground, and she did not die.
"You...you...you're great, great..."
The words of Master Ke Ya came to an abrupt end.
"How can I die?"
The black-haired queen smiled.
Her child, her little Purland. He had only so little, and if she left, how much would her child have left.
"Please don't leave me."
—It was her child's only request.
As a mother, she will always fulfill all wishes for her children, including this.
Maester Keya's throat seemed to be blocked by something.
He stared blankly at Queen Illinois.
He didn't know what method Illinois used to survive such a divine punishment. But he had already seen the price she had paid—most of the bones on Illinois' body were exposed to the air, blood vessels and muscles wrapped around the bones and the bones grew rapidly and were torn apart by the remaining silver lightning.
Life peeled off and grew on her, and her flesh and blood became a battlefield.
Just looking at it makes me feel unbearable.
Better to die.
Eleanor looked as usual, as if she was not the one suffering. She stood up from the ground, stretched out her hands intertwined with flesh and bones, and asked her student for a cloak, which simply covered the body cursed by the gods.
"Don't tell him what's going on," said Eleanor. "It's an order."
"Follow your will."
Maester Keya nodded with difficulty.
Illinois looked around: "Now, it's time for a monument to our warriors to be buried."
A hint of sadness crossed her face.
The night is long, and the fire is blazing.
…
It was stormy and rainy outside, and the world was like sadness.
The head of the Legrand Royal Academy of History, the dean of the Legrand Royal History Institute, the Count of Wally the sword-hunger, stepped into the king's room wetly. He came from the Rose Palace non-stop to this dangerous front line of war.
"We have researched what happened at the end of the legendary era." Earl Wally said crisply, his face pale, "We finally know the origin of the Holy Court."
The king glanced at the chief of the interior.
The housekeeper left the room, closed the door, and from this moment no one was allowed to approach the king's room.
"Your Majesty, before that, please forgive me for my presumptuousness." Earl Wally, who wore the Sword Hanger badge on his chest, spoke slowly but firmly, looking directly at the king, "I want to know your opinion—"
"Does the warrior who kills the dragon become the dragon in the end?"
The air was silent.
"A dragon killer will always be a dragon killer."
The king said that it was as solemn as swearing by life.
The Earl of Wally bowed deeply to him:
"Then the story can begin."
