The blackmailed Titans originally thought they would face the massacre of Tang Fu'an's empire, but at this time, the blood knights were quietly recalled and gathered in the upper reaches of the Chishui River, ready to cross the river at any time. WWw,qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo,comThe person responsible for cleaning up the principality was replaced by the regular knights of the Holy See.
Pastors began to recruit believers aggressively, and hundreds of churches were built. As long as you believe in the Lord of Glory, not only will you not be killed, but you can also take back the lost land and farmers.
The nobles of Taitan do not hate the Holy See as much as the people of Qin Yin. The small nobles, in particular, had no doubts about the existence of the Holy See. The Agares family has disappeared without making any noise, so many small nobles have begun to seek refuge in the Holy See in exchange for freedom and wealth.
The disobedient nobles were arrested by the people of the Inquisition and sent to the dark prison, where they will never come out in this life. Therefore, north of the Chishui River, there was a brief calm, and it seemed that the war was over. It was late autumn at this time, and with winter just around the corner, farmers no longer had to work, and most of them were driven to repair the dilapidated cities.
The Holy See made it sound nice, but in fact most of the Titan nobles were killed. Otherwise, where would the land come from for the Holy See to build churches and expand its assets? Leaving some nobles behind is also to spread God's tolerance. Once the Titan nobles were divided, they could no longer gather together to resist the Holy See, and the north was pacified.
The Holy See has thousands of years of experience in doing this kind of thing, and it can be done flawlessly.
Occupying the north of Chishui River immediately added a barrier to the south of the Tanggulas Empire. It is no longer possible for the Yunliu Empire to break through in the land and threaten the Tangulas Empire. The Tanggulas Empire only needs to defend the important coastal cities and prevent Yunliu's fleet from sending troops to land, so that it can organize its forces with peace of mind and break the deadlock in Garulan again.
Yunliu's army is far inferior to the navy. What the Tangulas Empire is worried about is Yunliu's two-sided offensive, attacking both at sea and on the land. If so, even if the army on the ground in Yunliu is not as good as Tangulas' cavalry, the Tangglas Empire will also Very dangerous.
Once something like this happens, the Tangulas Empire will be fighting on three sides. At that time, who can guarantee that Scoqinya will not add insult to injury? The Scotia people are very greedy for money. As long as there is profit, those mercenaries will immediately flock to them.
Therefore, there is nothing that can be done for the Tangulas Empire to invade Titan, unless Yunliu is willing to sign an alliance with the Tangulas Empire. The problem is that the Holy See wants too many things, and the Yunliu royal family cannot give in. In taxes alone, the Holy See draws nearly half of its revenue from the Tangulas royal family every year.
In other words, although the Tangulas Empire has the largest land area among the four empires, its actual income is the lowest. Because of the vampire like the Holy See, the Tangulas Empire has always had complex and heavy taxes. Even so, it could not get the Tangulas Empire out of its predicament.
The people in the Tanggulas Empire were the most miserable, and the Holy See often gave alms to the poor, so it had a very good reputation. How do the farmers know this? Without the Holy See, the tax revenue of the Tangulas Empire would not be so high. Moreover, the Holy See also occupies a large amount of land. In addition to building churches, these lands also include the Holy See's own fields.
This time the Tanggulas Empire conspired with the Holy See to take over the world, and the first step was to invade Garulan. Because the people of Jialoulan are extravagant and far less tough than Qin Yin. Who would have thought that Emperor Qin Yin's personal expedition would disrupt the good situation, and the Holy See would use its plan to ambush and kill Emperor Qin Yin. But Emperor Qin Yin died, and the Holy See also suffered heavy losses.
Because of this, the situation in Garulan was leveled again, and the negotiations between the Tanggulas Empire and Yunliu also broke down, so they immediately invaded Titan to stabilize the border situation.
Everything was going great until today.
Glorious Plains, Holy City. Here is the largest church in the empire. This church is also the center of theocracy, where the thirty-second pope conducts official business.
Nico's Cathedral is a complex of more than 100 buildings. At the highest point in the center is an open altar. This altar is a hundred meters in diameter and is located in the open air. It is the core of the entire city.
The center of the altar is carved with complex divine inscriptions, patterns, lines, and mysterious symbols. There are a total of twenty-four tall pillars on the four sides of the altar. No matter at any time, sunlight passes through the crystals on the top of these pillars, and the condensed light shines on the altar.

The altar was originally flat, but now there is a stone platform on it. On the stone platform is a copy of the Holy See's Code of Laws. In front of the stone platform, an old man in golden robes stood there with a solemn expression. Behind him were a group of bishops in red.
In the center of the altar, in the center of the images and texts used for worship, is a charred human body.
The sacrifices of the Holy Holy See require the use of living people. And this living person was originally an elite of the Holy See. After being baptized by God, his strength was strengthened by two levels, and he was qualified to become a cardinal. But this time during the sacrifice, the gods were furious and directly burned this promising believer to charcoal.
Next to the Pope, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe held up the code of law and turned to the back part. His lips trembled as he read line by line, speechless for a long time.
"Sharjah, what happened?" The Pope looked at the man who was burned to death
In the battle with Emperor Qin Yin, the Pope's power suffered the greatest loss, while the Seven Divine Envoys retained the most complete strength. The divine envoys now have a vague intention to break away from the Pope. That man Faka is too ambitious. If he succeeds, the Holy See will be divided for the first time since its establishment.
Originally, this red deacon was selected by the Pope, and his strength was already equivalent to that of a seventh-level human mage. After being baptized by divine light, he could immediately become a ninth-level powerhouse. Unexpectedly, the anger of the gods affected innocent people. This elite died in the divine light in less than a second.
The cardinals remained silent, and Di Nisio announced that he was seriously injured and would not die soon. In fact, although his injuries were serious, they were not fatal. Several people with different intentions have been directly eliminated by the Pope. How dare these cardinals have any more thoughts.
Sharjah is the Pope's chief minister, that is, the Pope's chamberlain. He does not have much power. However, if the Pope dies unexpectedly and does not appoint a successor, he will be the temporary pope. At the same time, as the Pope's chief minister, he also controls A very important artifact of the Holy See - the Ring of the Gods.
Legend has it that the Ring of the Gods was forged by the Lord of Glory who conquered the divine world and killed countless gods. The power of this artifact is even more powerful than the Pope's three artifacts.
It's just that the rings of the gods can exert their greatest power only with the Lord of Glory, and humans can never control them.
Sharjah put the code together and said: "Your Excellency, God, issued an oracle."
"What?"
Not only the cardinal, but also the pope was shocked. Generally speaking, the Lord of Glory would only issue an oracle after a special ceremony, and he never directly turned the oracle into words and published it on the code.
"On the Glory Continent, many believers of gods have appeared."
Sharjahâs words made everyone numb. What the Holy See has done most in recent years is to hunt down heretics. After all, human lifespan is limited. After two or three hundred years, basic believers will die themselves even if they are not caught. The Holy See has spies throughout the continent, specifically searching for heretics. It can be said that there have been no real heretics for more than five hundred years, except for black magicians.
However, the demon that black magicians believe in is not a real god, and they cannot use their faith to preach. God was angry this time, obviously because the pagans who appeared were true believers in the gods.
The little bit of divine power in Salin's body was actually only brought by the Tree of Life and did not include faith, so it was difficult to detect. After the black bishop returned to Tangulas, he did not report it to the Pope, but wanted to solve it within the sphere of influence of the Inquisition. That was a great achievement.
The divine power exuded by Ismail is the true power of faith. He frequently used the elemental spear and the Eye of Hades, and used it in the purgatory space refined by the Lord of Glory himself. First of all, even if the Lord of Glory could not come to the plane of Mels, it was impossible not to notice it.
Two of his powerful followers were killed by Ismail. For many years, no one has challenged his authority on the continent of Myers. If this was done by an ordinary person, the gods would not care at all. But this was something done by believers of other gods, and the Lord of Glory was furious.
The worst thing is that Nailisi is still using the power contained in the divine crystal to erase the mark of the god in the twelve movements of Purgatory bit by bit, making the Lord of Glory think that the believer of that god is challenging his dignity.
This is like going to someone else's house, killing the servants, and then changing the title deed and taking the house away.
"Holy war must be advanced. All those who reject the gift of the gods must be wiped out." Sharjah's voice was bitter, because he knew that in the continent of Mers, the Holy See did not yet have this ability. But this is God's will and cannot be disobeyed.
Pope Nisio was silent for a full five minutes, and then he said to Sharjah: "What about Faka?"
"Master Faka is not in the Holy City. He has been away for several months."
"Call the referee over," Dinisio sighed deeply. Although the Holy See has now launched a war, the scale of the war has been well controlled. Unlike jihad, once a holy war is launched, the Holy See must immediately use all its power. Launch a full-scale attack on the enemy.
Ismail had no idea that killing two judges would cause such big trouble. Now not only is he dead, but countless living beings on this continent will die later.

Sharja bowed and retreated. The Pope looked back at dozens of cardinals and said coldly: "What are you still doing? Arrange for me to see His Majesty. He will be here at this time tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Holiness." The cardinals left in a panic. What happened today was so shocking. After all these years, the gods have never been so angry. These cardinals are more or less afraid in their hearts, because many of their usual actions are inconsistent with the teachings. I wonder if the gods are all seeing this.
On the altar, the charred corpse was pulled away and thrown into a mass grave outside the city. People killed by gods have no right to enter the church cemetery. Even though this person may be very religious and have no blemishes on his moral character.
