After Becoming The Tyrant

When the wind that was gradually turning cold was blowing across the land, the defensive preparations for Yoring County were carried out intensely and orderly under the king's order.

Almost the entire city was mobilized, and the king's clerk walked through the streets and alleys, posting Legrand's battlefield situation announcements at every crossroads.Scholars and bards told people over and over again that the lost land in the southeast of Legrand is now being regained, and their struggle and struggle are fruitful. As long as everyone can work together to hold on to Jolin County, Legrand will usher in a brilliant future. victory.

The name of every recovered town in the southeast is engraved on the walls as an inspiration to all.

At this time, the new model of military planning that Wang Wang forced the officers to accept with high pressure showed its advantages.The quartermasters who had experienced "torture" quickly worked out a reasonable plan, dispatched nearby chariots and horses, and transported all the food in the surrounding areas of Jolin City in an orderly manner. [1] The trees suitable for making siege equipment closer to Jollingshire were also felled early and transported into the city, where they became raw materials for carpenters and architects to build fortifications.

The mathematicians who worked hard with the quartermaster to sort out the "logistics system" did not have a better life than before, because after the surrounding grain was transported into the city, an order from the king came to them again.

Together with the quartermasters, they must count the grain reserves currently owned by Jolin City, and then work out a distribution system that is as reasonable as possible.

This was probably the most stringent and most forgiving grain transportation process in Legrand's history. The king dispatched a cavalry to guard the granary and set up supervisors.Whoever dares to hide food privately will be executed on the spot.

When the scouts reported that they saw the flag of the Holy Army appearing on the horizon, the last carriage carried wood and retreated into the city.

The winch turned, the drawbridge rose, and the city gates slammed shut.

The world is dim, and in the darkness, the city of Yuelin County is closed.

"They are here."

Standing on the watchtower, the king heard the warning horn from tower to tower, and the whole city in the twilight was like a creeping beast awakened, baring its fangs to warn the approaching enemy.

Smoke and dust billowed on the horizon, amidst the smoke and dust, countless crosses were raised high, and the temple knights wrapped in blood were like the legendary knights of doom.The Holy Lord said that God gave them the authority to fight with them, and taught them to come to the ground to take peace and make people kill each other. The swords in their hands are weapons given by God, and those who kill with that weapon will not be blamed on them. sin.

Among the crosses that are lifted high, there is one that is the most brilliant and the most dazzling.

It was a golden cross as tall as a person.

Pope, Emperor of the Holy Empire, Emblem of Theolde.

Now, the two most powerful and outstanding emperors of this era have finally set foot on the same battlefield.

The army stopped at a distance from Jolin City amidst the sound of desolate horns, and it could be called orderly.The army's vanguard parted, the golden cross was held aloft, and a chariot rolled out of the army.In the distance, the king saw someone get out of the carriage.

The people who got off the carriage watched from afar, and their gazes precisely fell on the observation tower where the king was.

"Theolde."

the king whispered.

"Purland."

The horse that had stopped suddenly spewed out white gas from its nose, and its iron hooves stepped on the ground.The sound of the wind, the sound of armor rubbing against each other, the battlefield is still noisy.Siolde stood on the ground, muttering to himself like a sigh.

Just as the king saw him, he seemed to have captured the king's location for the first time.

"Camp."

He ordered.

A white eagle circled in the sky, then retracted its wings, and landed on the outstretched arm of Pope Theold.

It's from Whitsunday Bay.

.....................

Holy Spirit Bay, Holy Court, Holy City.

Cardinal Deacon Segney stood outside the bronze door of the sanctuary, and there were many exquisite reliefs on the bronze door behind him, telling the story of the original Holy Lord appointing his apostles to walk on the earth, angels and crowds Demons are slain, heretic city-states are destroyed on the Day of Judgment.

His palms were faintly sweating, and there was a secret letter hidden in his arms.

A letter from the Holy Empire, written by Ferry III himself.

Segney didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong, but as the Holy Army movement unfolded, Pope Theold chose the fleet of the Abyss Alliance to transport the army, and the caravans in the hopeless inner sea began to quickly turn to decline. .In particular, the ensuing Nujin Empire attacked the Holy Spirit Bay and captured many ports. His family's merchant ships were burned to the ground by those barbarians.

Pope Theold was increasingly split with the Holy See Presbyterian Church, and they, the cardinals, always had to make a choice.

He just put a little extra boost on the crack, which is fine.

Sagney comforted himself in his heart.

Thinking so, he walked into the bronze door.

After the last cardinal stepped into the secret church, the bronze door closed behind him.From this moment on, all the gates in this church have been sealed, and no one is allowed to enter here.The guardian knights of the holy court are guarding outside the secret church, and it will be isolated from the world until the important decision that is about to take place in it is over.

Ceremonies of this size used to only occur when the pope was selected, but now that Pope Theold is still alive, it is held again.

In the depths of the secret church, in the secret room normally used to discuss the election of the pope, thousands of candles illuminate the secret room incomparably brilliantly.On both sides of the long table, sat people in black robes. Most of them were old and dying.Sagney sat down at the end of the long table, knowing that he had no right to speak here.

All the cardinal-level clergy still in the sanctuary were gathered here.

What will be held here is a trial that concerns the entire Holy Court.

An absolutely secret trial that is absolutely enough to shock the world.

—The Trial Against Pope Theolde.

In doctrine, the pope, as the incarnation of God, can never make mistakes, let alone sin.However, in the top-secret documents within the holy court, there is a secret rule in the original twelve copper books. When it is a last resort, and under certain conditions, gather all the people who are qualified to participate in the selection of the pope and gather here. The place where the pope is bestowed with divine status is where the trial of the pope himself can be held.

This trial is absolutely not allowed to be made public. Therefore, several trials held in secret in history ended with the death of the tried Pope.The holy court still maintains its holy appearance to the outside world.

However, this time the trial was completely different from the previous ones. The trial document had been drawn up long ago, and cardinals and deacons such as Segney were only allowed to sign the document.

Under the light of the candlelight, the faces of the old people at the head of the long table were cold. They were like corpses walking out of coffins, carrying a heavy old aura, but there was a terrifying power hidden in the old aura.They are the seven elders of the holy court, corresponding to the seven angels in charge of power mentioned in the holy book.

Seven Great Elders appeared together in this secret meeting, stamping an irrefutable conclusion for the trial.

Sagney took a deep breath and signed his name on the trial documents.

He was the last cardinal and deacon invited to enter here. After he signed his name, the bell rang in the cold and gloomy church, and the sound echoed between the corridors and rooms of the church.At this moment, Segney thought he was the one who had received the apocalypse. He heard the God who was, is, and will be forever in his ears unveiling the prophecy of the end of the day, and Hong Zhong was the signal of that day.

Segney forgot himself in the ringing of the bell, and when he woke up from his daze, he was already in the secret room of the church, completely forgetting what he had just done.

The bell sounded like a roar rushing from the ground, echoing for a long time.

In the depths of the huge church, on the long table, there were only seven elders left.

The proclamation of Theord's apostasy and blasphemy was placed before the presiding elder.He pushed it toward the middle of the long table, and raised his eyes to look at the others.

"God's power is given to believers, not to usurpers."

An elder said hoarsely.

"The one who steals shall be destroyed."

The elder who sat at the top had neither sadness nor joy on his face, he raised his hand and drew a cross on his chest.

The elder who spoke first placed a lead-sealed copper box on the table.Another elder held a candle that melted the lead.When the sealed lead melted slowly, the candles flickered in the cold wind in the hall, and there seemed to be countless holy spirits singing in the air, and there seemed to be countless snakes laughing in low voices.

Taboo box.

There is an ancient contract sealed in it, which even the pope cannot know. It is the oath mentioned in the holy book-the original contract signed between God and man!

The copper box was opened, and the contract between man and god was picked up by old hands.

The volume was filled with strange words inside and out, and it was sealed with seven seals.

The first elder slowly opened the first seal, and then passed it on to the second.The second elder opened the second seal and passed it on...the third seal, the fourth seal...the final seal!

All the candles were extinguished in an instant.

"The seven seals have been revealed, we should open the door to the kingdom of God and the world, so that God can return to the earth."

The elder held up the ancient scroll with both hands, and every word on the ancient scroll was emitting a dazzling light, illuminating the cold hall like daylight.
