At this moment, the board of directors of the Nederland Bank Regiment and the coalition's mobile troops, who were covered in dust and could not do anything, had gathered at the Golden Roof Cathedral not far from the headquarters of the bank regiment.
"Your Excellency, let's do it!"
Looking at the few small sea monsters that were constantly wandering around the cathedral, as if they were thinking about where to start their attack.
The bank group's chairman, Mr. Joel's face turned pale. The faces of the directors under him were even worse.
At this time, they had already realized that all of them had been fooled by the smiling Pirate King.
Being magnanimous, generous, and calling each other brothers … These were all just Huggins' disguises.
What they were thinking about was the "wool" on the pirate's body, but what the pirate wanted was their own treasury!
Even now that the robbers had entered their house, they still did not know whether what Huggins really wanted was the entire treasury or which treasure in the treasury.
However, this did not prevent them from coming to a conclusion, no matter what Huggins' purpose was.
After opening the treasury, he would definitely not take only one treasure!
Fortunately.
They still had their last trump card, which was also a secret weapon that only the bank group's chairman, Old Joel, and Bishop Jasper knew about!
"Following the will of the Goddess, there should be no space for pirates to survive in the sea. All pirates should be eliminated.
The so-called Pirate King is no exception!
Mr. Chairman, please rest assured that the Goddess will send down her divine power to punish these fanatics! "
Bishop Jasper, who had the appearance of a tall middle-aged man, nodded slightly at the chairman. Although his words were vague, it was obvious that he had agreed to help.
After that, the "refugees" of the bank group and the mobile troops were respectfully led out of the hall by the priests.
"By the way, Knight Ambrose, please stay. I need a firm Knight of the Goddess to assist me."
The bishop, who was wearing a luxurious and solemn bishop's crown and holding a golden scroll of the Goddess's holy words, stood in the middle of the hall and stopped Ambrose, the Iron Wall Knight who was about to leave with the others.
After coming to the "Leiden Valley," Ambrose had been leading his own team and the mobile troops. However, he did not expect that the first thing he did when he saw the Pirate King was not to fight, but to be forced to escape. Other than saving the two young soldiers beside him, he could do nothing else.
He was blaming himself for his powerlessness when he heard Bishop Jasper's voice. He stopped and raised his head in confusion.
"Knight Ambrose, I can create an opportunity for you to face the Pirate King. Please use your faith and loyalty to the Goddess to pick up the Sword of Judgment that belongs to God."
Ambrose, who quickly understood what the bishop was going to do, agreed without hesitation.
"The goddess's will is my mission! I will do my best, Your Eminence! "
A few moments later, all the clergy in the church had gathered here.
They wore black robes that only indicated their status on the cuffs and collars. They all held black iron crosses with anchor points at the bottom. They stood in a perfect circle around the dome in the center of the hall.
The walls of the hall were painted with murals praising the goddess of song. Together with the sharp rib vault, the flying buttresses, and the slender beam pillars, they created a light and spacious feeling of flying.
This was the sanctuary blessed by the goddess, the pure land of the divine kingdom on earth.
Thus, under the lead of Bishop Jasper, they began to chant the Goddess' holy words in unison!
Everyone's different voices fused into one, turning into one sound.
The low hum that carried a mysterious power was constantly amplified, echoed, and amplified by the circular dome. At the same time, it was also embellished, modified, and harmonized by the sanctuary.
In this sacred atmosphere.
The tall and majestic statue of the goddess in the hall gradually emitted a blurry golden light. It was the power of the "faith" left behind by countless believers who prayed and worshipped day and night!
The golden divine light resonated with the prayers of the clergy. Under the direction of Bishop Jasper, it turned into a rumbling golden wave that filled the entire hall before slowly overflowing.
There was no need for the bishop to remind him.
Ambrose, who was standing beside Bishop Jasper, had already pulled out his sword and raised it high above his head.
Clang!
It seemed to have pierced through something.
Outside.
Golden light gathered at the sail-shaped dome of the cathedral. An invisible force rose vertically like a sword that pierced through the sky. It broke through the haze in the sky and guided a golden ray of sunlight down.
Different from the steeples of other gothic buildings, the top of this golden-roofed cathedral was a golden dome made up of six sail-shaped gold-plated structures.
The sunlight that was guided down was like a stream of water that flowed and danced on the six "sails." It became brighter and brighter until it was as if the entire sun had descended upon the mortal world!
[Divine Spell — Holy Sword of Sun Judgment!]
This was a divine spell exclusive to the Church of the Black Iron Cross. It originated from the Goddess's "Navigation Priesthood" [Weather] domain. Every god had infinite power in their corresponding priesthood domain!
There was no true god-level sun god in this world. The three true gods — the Goddess of Navigation, the Dawn of Dawn, and the Eternal Fire — shared the sun domain.
Even though the Goddess's authority in the sun domain wasn't as high as the other two, it was enough to give her believers unimaginable power!
At this moment, Bishop Jasper, who was a high-level clergyman of a true god, all the clergy under him, the Iron Wall Knight Ambrose, who was extremely firm in his faith, and this golden-roofed cathedral that was expensive to build and had many special functions were gathered together to borrow the power of God.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind belonging to God's power blew.
Although Jasper and Ambrose were still standing in the middle of the hall, their vision had broken through the dome's limit and arrived at the outside world.
In the vision of a giant looking down from above.
They saw the sea monsters that were lingering around the cathedral out of fear of the Goddess's power. They saw most of the citizens who failed to escape from the north gate of Golden Lion City in such a short time. Of course, they also saw Huggins who had begun to violently demolish the underground vault.
Both of their eyes turned cold.
Simultaneously, they clenched their right hands together as if they were holding the sun. The power they borrowed from the Goddess for a short period of time was dancing in their palms.
Bishop Jasper felt the strength of the power in his hands and nodded slightly.
"Sure enough, it was right to choose Ambrose at the last minute.
It's at least 30% more power than the original Knight in the cathedral could borrow. As expected of the most popular young man in the church in the past two years! "
In this ritual of borrowing God's power, Bishop Jasper acted as the brain and was responsible for deciding where to hit. Ambrose acted as his hand and decided how to hit.
Among the 24 large species and 20 small species present, the absolute core was of course the two "Earthquake Twin-Headed Tortoises" and the four "Earth Snake Lizards". They were responsible for excavating the vault and were responsible for the most important part of this mission.
However, Bishop Jasper's first target was not them but the "Octopus Ghost" Huggins who was commanding from the periphery.
He had already seen the conch in Huggins' hand that was used to command the sea monsters. As long as he could kill the leader, even the powerful sea monsters would be scattered like sand. Especially after they came ashore, they would no longer have the ferocity of the deep sea. Even if they went berserk and wreaked havoc, they could be dealt with slowly.
In the worst case scenario, when the Titled Knight of Tyro Kingdom, "Halberd of Lightning" Augustus, arrived, he would kill all the sea monsters that wreaked havoc one by one.
Under the premise that the sea monsters did not split up their forces to pursue the citizens, the most important thing was to protect the vault and also … to protect the century-old reputation of the "Nederland Bank Group"!
Jasper did not feel that there was anything wrong with his own thoughts.
Although he was a loyal believer of the Goddess, he also served the "bank group" and money. There was no contradiction between the two.
Otherwise, as the only third-order bishop in Salt Lake County, why was he not stationed in the capital, "Brandenburg", nor in the coastal city, "Niske", which had the largest population and the richest cultural atmosphere?
Wasn't it because the "Golden-Roofed Cathedral", which had the highest specifications in the diocese, was built by the rich and powerful bank group for him and the full support of the Golden Lion City for the cause of faith?
However, because the "Golden-Roofed Cathedral" did not have a long history, the power of faith stored in the statue of the Goddess was not too rich.
The "Holy Sword of Judgement of Sun" that was activated at this moment could not create a miracle by using the holy spear, Durandal, like in the New Yin Cathedral.
Even with the blessing of Ambrose, the model Knight, he could only use the fourth-order "Holy Sword of Judgement" three times.
Therefore, he had to use every opportunity carefully.
"Accept the divine punishment bestowed by the Goddess, sinful soul!"
Crackle!
A golden pillar of light, like a sword of divine punishment shot down from the clouds, flew towards Pirate King Huggins, who was surrounded by sea monsters and pirates.
Before the light arrived, the air was already burned by the scorching energy, emitting a pungent burnt smell.
However, the bishop, who had lived like a prince all day and had almost no combat experience, was taking it for granted.
How could Huggins not notice the commotion caused by activating a divine ritual of this level?
Plus, he had enough power to respond immediately!
Whoosh!
In a thousandth of a second.
A "small species, Zhe Water Flea," which looked like a translucent "flea," had already jumped up and blocked in front of Huggins.
The powerful heat of the "Holy Sword of Judgement" was blocked by the sea monster's body that was covered in shells for a moment.
However, with this moment of delay, Huggins, who was already prepared, seized the opportunity.
[Superpower, Ultimate Liberation!]
Boom!
It was as if a bomb had been detonated in the Pirate King's body.
The crimson red [Fury] that only belonged to the Banished Prisoner class swept out like a hurricane.
