"The elders haven't contacted us for a while."
Sean said tentatively.
He doesn't want his speculation to be correct, but the facts seem to be moving in a direction he doesn't understand.
Siold put down the quill in his hand: "How many days do we have food left?"
He avoided the subject. Sisien thought sadly, and replied: "The frontier army can last a week, and the others... We are no longer able to provide our soldiers with wheat and eggs. The officers are discussing what to do next, Your Majesty."
"Come on, come and hear what our gentlemen have to say."
Siold said quietly.
In the combat command room of the Holy Army, the commander of the Frontier Holy Army, General Velaven, a typical native of the northern Abyss Strait, was arguing angrily with the officers of the Sea Holy Army. Their voices were so loud that they could be heard from a hundred meters away, and the officers of the Sea Holy Army accused the Frontier Holy Army of embezzling supplies.
"The Holy Master is above, who doesn't know what's going on with the transportation of the border caravan? From the departure to the arrival of ten barrels of red wine, there is still one barrel left, thank God!"
"Then I can also swear in the name of the Holy Lord that if one drop of those nine barrels of red wine fell into our mouths, we will go to hell immediately!" General Velaven roared like a lion, his neck was flushed red, snoring Panting heavily, pressing his hands heavily on the table, "We bypassed the rapids of the North Sea and risked being swallowed by a giant whale to help you transport eggs and oats from the abyss to this damn Legrand. It's better now, you actually accuse us of not doing our best? Could it be that while we block the waterway of Jolin City, we turn to Blaise to take the port back? Why don't you expect us to make the bulls give birth and the iron to blossom?"
"Our soldiers have tried to find edible seeds from the dung heap, and you still have oats to feed the officers' horses." The food is sufficient to feed the horses, and since it is an ally, it should not just watch the ally starve to death."
"We're allies, but there's no law or code that says you should be an ally's nanny." General Velaven shot back, asking bitterly, "Do you still need us to put milk in your mouth?"
"Holy bishop, your fraternity, gentlemen."
The tent curtain was lifted, and Pope Theold walked in, his voice calm and even.
Everyone put down the argument and stood up to salute Siold.
General Villaven found that the atmosphere of tension he had painstakingly created was washed away when Pope Theold appeared. He was a little disturbed, and before the naval officers, he said: "It's not that the border countries don't want to lend a helping hand to allies who are like brothers, but you know that the civilians on our border are more stubborn, if you see us divide the food With others, I'm worried that things will change."
A cunning fox who takes advantage of danger.
The officers of the Holy Sea Army scolded in their stomachs, and they finally understood what the Frontier Holy Army was trying to do with this pretentious gesture.
The Frontier Sacred Army was the last of the three Sacred Armies to set foot on the battlefield, and it also took the longest to prepare. Their time in the war is still short, not to mention whether the grain from Blaise was really stolen by them, just the grain reserves prepared by the border countries themselves should be returned to their hands at this time - at least not like other The Holy Army team was so embarrassed.
With such a big fanfare, they want to bargain with the Pope and with everyone.
If the news from the Legrands is correct, then the Holy Court of Holy Spirit Bay has now been destroyed. After the powerful Holy Empire lost the heart of Holy Spirit Bay, it was hit hard by Ferry III, and the brilliance dissipated like a flash in the pan. . The Hopeless Inner Sea Alliance and the Alliance of Small Abyssal Nations have been wiped out by campaigns to the southeast. Legrand is an enemy of the world. Although it has not been captured so far, it has also been eroded by the war, and his vitality has been severely damaged.
All the powerful countries and forces in this world have exhausted their power in this war to the point of damaging their foundations, and their heroes have been exhausted.
This is an opportunity for the border states to rise.
The food in their hands is their confidence, and they want to fight for the dominance of this war.
These goddamn, overly greedy guys.
"As long as you don't forget the original intention of this war, the Lord will bless us to achieve the final victory."
Siold replied.
"Religion is no way to fill our soldiers' stomachs."
General Velaven said, he glanced at the officers of the Holy Army of the Sea.
"Without food, our soldiers will not be able to fight at all." With a sudden change of heart, the officers of the Holy Sea Army reluctantly spoke up, and no one wanted the war to end, especially if they only needed to capture the Lin Cheng can make a final decision.
"God bless us with his miracles."
"Does the miracle include giving us food?" General Velaven couldn't help but ask a bit meanly. He was thinking about the news he got from the Legrand people. The Holy Court was destroyed, and the situation of the Holy Empire was not much better. This is a godsend, and a pope who has lost his holy city, what else can he do
"include."
Siold replied calmly.
At first no one understood the meaning of his words, but soon, they realized what Siold had returned, and everyone looked at him with astonishment.
…
"In that barren land, people were thirsty, hungry, and dying. So God made rice grow on the ground, and the waters of the rivers turned into wine, and a pure lamb came to men. He was as gracious and merciful as a father, but Such a majestic display of His miracles."
The Earl of Wally accompanied the king to stand on the tallest tower of the castle, looked at what was happening outside the city through the glasses of the witches, and whispered the words of the holy book.
It was an old story in the Holy Books of God telling his glory among the nations and his miracles among the nations. God establishes his authority and image by the miracles he creates, and these miracles make up the God in people's minds. Now, the miracle described in the holy book has been born again.
In the vast land outside the city of Jolim, rice grains have grown out of the soil again against the seasons. The Holy Army picked up water from the tributary of Doma, poured the water into the bucket, and immediately turned into a mellow red wine. Everything that happened outside the city of Jorin was just as described in the holy book. Siold with the triple crown walked across the plain. The soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him, already treating him as an incarnation of God. .
"What exactly is going on?"
Earl Wally muttered to himself.
"Isn't the kingdom of the gods closed?"
"Because his power does not come from the kingdom of the gods."
The king answered calmly.
As a mortal, speculating on the past of the gods, Earl Wally achieved the pinnacle of what a mortal can do. However, after all, it is limited by the cognition of mortals, and it is difficult to understand the gods more deeply. In fact, if the Lord's plan is successful and He is resurrected to the earth, then the first thing He will do is to bury the kingdom of the gods and make himself the only god on earth.
The power of the gods is closely related to their honorable names, and the Holy Lord has pinned himself on history by tampering with history, and his power is closely related to mortals. The "father" in the teachings points to this concept. He is the being who created mankind and the father of all mortals. This one doctrine directly reveals his purpose, and he has reshaped his source of power by rooting himself in the beliefs and lives of mortals.
The Holy Lord freed himself from the old gods and used these means to reshape his personality and authority.
He became the God of mortals, and the world is His kingdom.
If the plan is successful, then He does not need the kingdom of the gods. This is also why the Holy Master can betray the gods so recklessly in the age of legends, doing his best to push the kingdom of the gods to be sealed forever.
The Lord's plan itself is not wrong. After the Holy See became a universal religion, it can be said that most of His goals have been achieved. Only, He miscalculated the ambitions of human beings, and the wicked can betray the first time and there will be a second time.
After the destruction of Holy Spirit Bay Holy Court, the consciousness that the Holy Lord descended dissipated. The twilight of the gods finally came, and the last god of the past who tried to gain a new life withdrew from the stage of history, and his authority was stolen by his spokesperson in the world.
Now, Siold is the king of the kingdom of God, the god of the earth who walks the earth.
All the beliefs people have had in the Holy Book and the Holy See for a thousand years have coalesced into his strength. To a certain extent, closing down the kingdom of the gods was a help to him. But Legrand had to close the gates of the kingdom of the gods, just like Siold would stop the rift between hell and the world at all costs.
"Now, he is only one step away from becoming the prophesied 'king of the world'."
The wind was fierce on the tower, and the king looked at Siold, who was worshipped by all, and said to him from a distance.
- There will not be two kings of the world at the same time, and one of the two kings is destined to die.
There is always only one winner on the throne.
