Bilibili and Alda squatted in a far corner, squinting their eyes and looking around furtively. WwW, QuANbEn-XiAoShUo, cOm Well, it must be admitted that as two pure-blooded demons who have awakened the ancient demon bloodline, they are very uncomfortable with this happy, upward, enthusiastic, and positive atmosphere. They hated this kind of strong family affection and friendship, so the two of them, as well as Hazyma, Alsa and others, could only hide far away, always alert to the movements around them, and escort Lin Qi's family dance!
"Ah, I really hope someone will come to cause trouble! In this case, we can have fun killing people, and Xuanlan will also have good food to eat!" Bilibili clicked her lips and took out a shiny roasted chicken leg from her sleeve. : "I know Xuanlan's taste. He and I are old friends. He likes to eat humanoid creatures. These four-legged things cannot satisfy his strong appetite!"
The loud noises of 'bang, bang, bang' kept coming. Ten thousand court mages of the Longshan Empire stood in the square in the distance, blasting the sky with various magics, and painted a picture in the sky. A beautiful pattern. The strong light produced by the magic light bomb exploding at high altitude illuminated the entire Longshan Imperial Capital, attracting countless people in this huge city to look in the direction of the palace.
A group of 300 flame-type giant dragons roared past from high in the sky, and 1,800 trombonists in formal attire stood on the backs of the dragons, blowing high-pitched horns against the strong wind. The loud and powerful sound of the horn tore through the dark clouds high in the sky, shredded the cold wind and blizzard, and the sun shone down from behind the dark clouds. Countless rays of magnificent light shrouded the Longshan Imperial Capital in a wonderful halo.
The people of the Longshan Empire cheered at the same time, and some of them looked at the group of giant dragons roaring past in the sky with complicated expressions, as well as the densely packed magic flying disks lingering near the distant skyline! What frightens these people is that among the magic flying discs made by the Longshan Empire, the largest one has a diameter of more than 500 meters!
The former Western Continent. Even the most powerful Gallic Empire could only make their own magic flying discs with a diameter of no more than ten meters. Only the church has the kind of craftsmanship and sufficient resources to create a magic flying disc with a diameter of more than 100 meters, but now, the Longshan Empire is openly showing off a magic flying disc with a diameter of 500 meters!
Each magic flying disc with a diameter of more than 500 meters can transport thousands of fully armed heavy armored soldiers and magicians at the same time. This gives the Longshan Empire's army a maneuverability beyond imagination. and long-range strike power. This also means that the Longshan Empire has mastered extremely sophisticated magic technology and has an extremely large reserve of magic materials.
The dilapidated Gallic Empire did not have such ability, and the Dayan Dynasty, which was beaten by the Blood Qin Empire, did not have such a foundation. Even the envoys of the church mission showed extremely complicated expressions on their faces when they saw the huge magic flying discs that were looming in the dark clouds.
Longshan Empire. This is just a subordinate force of the Temple of War, a representative force in the surface world. How can he be so powerful
Lin Qi and the members of the Black Tiger family, as well as Lin Qi's old brothers and close subordinates, would not pay attention to the complicated feelings of some people. They rejoiced and danced wildly in the palace, with their laughter, neat clapping and tapping of feet. And the sound of melodious music floated out from outside the palace wall! The people of the Longshan Empire became more and more happy and excited. And some other people have increasingly complicated moods.
Time passed by minute by second, and two days later, on the last day of the year, starting at three o'clock in the afternoon, an endless stream of people began to gather in the direction of the Longshan Empire Palace.
The two great empires and the ecclesiastical embassies. Nobles of all sizes from all over the continent, leading figures from major guilds, famous artists, and all kinds of celebrities and sages. According to the list drawn up by the ceremonial officer of the Longshan Empire Palace, in order of priority, they rode in various gorgeous carriages and drove towards the palace one after another. People with lower status were ranked higher, while the Church, the Great Yan Dynasty and the Gallic Empire were at the bottom.
The large-scale honor guard of the Longhan Empire wore armor made of gold and silver, and scarlet silk cloaks. They held twelve-meter-long gilt dragon spears that were purely decorative. They stood neatly with their heads held high. On both sides of the street leading to the main entrance of the palace.
Amid the loud shouts of the ceremonial officers of the Longshan Empire Palace, a convoy of nobles that looked like a colorful dragon slowly drove along this avenue and slowly entered the Longshan Imperial Palace. Among the many vehicles, nobles of all sizes looked at the honor guard on the roadside with complicated expressions, calculating how much gold coins the pure gold and pure silver armor on these honor guards would cost.
Some nobles who claim to be shrewd and capable want to use the scale and cost of today's New Year's banquet to find out the financial resources of the Longshan Empire, calculate how much power they can convert into combat effectiveness, and calculate the future impact of the Longshan Empire on the Western Continent. What an impact it has.
What had nothing to do with these scheming nobles was that endless cheers were heard from everywhere in the Longshan Imperial Capital today.
The streets and alleys of the Longshan Imperial Capital were decorated with joy, and tens of thousands of Longshan Empire's dragon and golden mountain flags were flying high. A huge magic barrier enveloped the Longshan Imperial Capital covering hundreds of miles, isolating the cold wind and blizzard from the outside. Nearly a thousand giant dragons were circling and flying in the sky. The huge dragon power they brought drove away the dark clouds, and the bright sunshine generously illuminated the Longshan Imperial Capital.
There are various performances at every street corner in the imperial capital, petals with dewdrops are constantly falling from the sky, and beautiful music can be heard everywhere. Today's Emperor Longshan is really like the legendary paradise of the Kingdom of God, with joy and laughter everywhere.
A projection clone was created and sat on the emperor's throne to receive the nobles who were coming. Lin Qi was wearing an ordinary black robe and stood side by side with Yun on the main gate tower of the palace, smiling as he watched the brilliant sunshine. The Longshan Imperial Capital.
"It would be great if all this could last forever!" Yun leaned against Lin Qi gently and sighed softly.
"Well, maybe one day, this beautiful scene will be destroyed due to war and violence! But sooner or later, I will rebuild all of this and let them last forever!" Lin Qiqing put his arm around Yun's shoulder. He patted Yun's head lightly: "When everything is completed, when the dangers and clouds hanging over our heads have completely dissipated, I will make all the good things last!"
Yun turned to look at Lin Qi: "Can we succeed?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Qixiao looked at Yun and nodded gently: "Of course, we will succeed!"
The large-scale church envoys slowly walked into the palace from Lin Qi's feet. This time, on behalf of the church, they came to the Longshan Empire to extend traditional New Year greetings to the Longshan Empire and preside over the New Year Sacrifice Ceremony. It was the new Holy Crown. Pope Francis? Morning light.
A little-known cardinal, a side clan member who was not valued even in the Chenxi family, suddenly became the Holy Crown Pope, one of the three most important popes in the church. Only Lin Qi knew what was going on. All the divine descendants in the church who possessed divinity and had extraordinary qualifications were replaced by the souls who lost their bodies in the ancient divine war.
How could a noble god be entangled in complicated worldly matters every day? Therefore, those divine descendants with outstanding qualifications who hold high positions have retired one after another. However, these priests, who are usually not taken seriously and who mostly occupy idle positions within the church, and non-divine descendants have stepped into high positions. The church quietly completed a major change in personnel and power, but the terrifying reality of a huge number of souls hidden behind it made Lin Qi's heart palpitate.
In order to highlight the importance that the church attaches to the Longshan Empire, the newly appointed Francis took 3,000 clergy to personally attend the New Year's Palace Banquet of the Longshan Empire. Now, three thousand high-level clergymen lined up neatly and walked neatly through the main entrance of the palace at Lin Qi's feet.
Lin Qi couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic sneer as he looked at the clergy, who were holding various magical instruments, chanting mantras in praise of the gods, and with devout faces. He looked down at these guys, these 'devout' and 'firm' believers, who were walking under the feet of a heretic with a great reputation. This was really a great mockery!
Following closely behind these church envoys were the envoys from the Dayan Dynasty. A certain cousin of Yan Chimei, a prince from the Great Yan Dynasty, led hundreds of followers into the palace with smiles on their faces. Lin Qi knew why this guy came. The gods had ceased war, but the Blood Qin Empire was still launching a fierce attack on the Dayan Dynasty. The Dayan Dynasty had submitted letters of credence to the Longshan Empire for help several days ago.
More troops, more ordnance, too much military supplies and food. All in all, the Blood Qin Empire has forced the Dayan Dynasty's economy to go bankrupt. Without the support of the Longshan Empire, the Dayan Dynasty would not be able to withstand the Blood Qin Empire's onslaught.
Behind the Great Yan Dynasty was the haggard-looking envoy of the Gallic Empire. Among the three major empires in the Western Continent today, the Gallic Empire is in the most dire situation. A large area of territory is occupied by the alien coalition and the undead army. The people have suffered heavy losses. A large number of refugees continue to flee into the Longshan Empire. In just over a year, the Gaul Empire has The population of the Lu Empire was reduced to less than one-third of its pre-war level.
The Gallic Empire is now severely weakened, and their purpose in coming to the Longshan Empire is to ask for all possible assistance.
Lin Qi even knew that the Gallic Empire had long sent envoys to the church for help, but the cold and ruthless church did not take the mere Gallic Empire to heart. Lin Qi even knew that the new generation of church leaders headed by Francis would be happy to take advantage of religious wars to eliminate national forces, large and small, in the secular world.
