Within St. Sarl City, within the Great Temple of Light, one could clearly see the shadows of the pillars within the beautiful and majestic main hall. Light shone on the white stone walls, and the refracted light illuminated the entire main hall in a bright white.
The sacred and solemn murals on the walls were all the work of the artists employed by the church. They were exquisite and exquisite, and from the dome that was dozens of meters high, one could almost see the heavenly scene of God and His majestic and loving gaze.
The tall statue of God, the majestic temple, the murals of God's kingdom, and the illuminated, transparent white space. Standing in this hall was like standing in the center of God's kingdom, as if one's entire soul could be baptized by holiness.
A beautiful and holy existence like a goddess stood barefoot in front of the statue of God, dressed in a simple linen robe. She had a tall figure, long black hair, and a delicate face that looked like a holy angel from a painting. Her entire body was like the most perfect creature, without a single flaw.
Saintess Kelly stood in front of the statue of God. In front of her were the statues of the Goddess of Light, Maria, and the legendary Archangels. Her starry black eyes were focused on the Archangel Faross behind her, as if her entire being was focused on the statue.
It had been decades since she had been guarding the temple and accompanying God. She had prayed to God every day for decades, begging for God's response, and interacting with God. To Kelly, God was no longer her faith, but her everything.
"In Your Majesty's eyes, don't our desires and struggles seem helpless and laughable?"
"I have built a kingdom of heaven that belongs to you on earth. Do you see it? But evil and sin continue to spread across the earth. The original sins of mankind can only be truly redeemed when their souls enter your kingdom. "
Inside the hall, Saintess Kelly stood alone in front of the statue of God, pouring out her heart to Him. She believed that God could hear her voice.
Kelly had dreamt of midnight countless times. She would think of the heavenly town where His Holiness Faross had given her the mask. On the beautiful hillside under the blue sky and white clouds, he had stood under the tree and talked to her. In the end, he had disappeared from her dream like a star.
Thinking of this, her eyes involuntarily trembled, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. A rare expression appeared on her face, revealing a faint smile of happiness.
She knelt before God and finished her prayer. She slowly put on the mask of Faross and walked out of the Temple of Great Light. After passing through the long corridors and the white pillars, the door of the temple slowly opened. She stepped out and appeared outside the main hall.
Outside of the Divine Hall of Light, the leadership of the Church of Light, the members of the College of Cardinals, rows of pastors, and even Pope Hodap were all respectfully welcoming her, the descendant of God in the human world.
At the bottom of the steps stood many fully-armed knights of the Church of Light. All of them wore armor and carried swords. Their shields were engraved with the holy patterns of the Church of Light. In addition, there were also monarchs and personal knights from various countries who had come to pay their respects.
These monarchs and knights may have been extremely dissatisfied with the excessive interference of the Church of Light in their internal affairs, but their faith in the Church of Light and God had never been false. Most of them were devout believers of the Church of Light. They worshipped and respected Saintess Kelly, the descendant of God and the spokesperson of God.
At this moment, seeing the Saintess walk out of the Divine Hall of Light with the mask of Faross, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. From the foot of the Divine Hall to the distance, all the soldiers, civilians, and believers fell silent at the same time. It was as if one could hear a pin drop on the ground.
Everyone's eyes were on the Saintess. Everyone's eyes were surging with fanaticism, as if they could not wait to kneel and pray to her. This was St. Sarl City, the city of God's descent, the kingdom of God on earth.
"Guardian of the glory of God, in the name of God, go to war!"
This sentence instantly ignited the entire St. Sarl City. Everyone shouted like crazy, shouting slogans at the top of their lungs as they raised their swords and shields in their hands.
"In the name of God!"
"Go to war! All glory to the Lord! "
"Go to war! Go to war! "
Even the elderly Pope Hodap shouted along. Hodap was already more than a hundred years old this year. Although he had inherited the divine incantation, his talent was not strong, and he had not broken through the limit of his lifespan. Now, it was time for him to return to the Kingdom of God. Even the entire Church was preparing for the replacement of the Pope.
A large number of knights and soldiers poured out of St. Sarl City, along with the armies of the Church and the monarchs of various kingdoms. They marched all the way to the north, crossing the border of the Crete Empire and embarking on the fight for the Crete Empire. This was the beginning of the battle between the humans and the orcs, which would determine the fate of the continent.
Hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, along with several groups of priests and knights of the Church, would meet the army of the Holy Seville Empire. This was a war between humans and orcs, a war between the Faith of the Sun and the Church of Light, and an extraordinary showdown between priests and the Holy Knights.
The decisive battle between the Saintess of the Church of Light and the Emperor of the Holy Seville Empire would prove who was more favored by God. Both sides shouted slogans in the name of God, in the name of glory.
This was the largest and most extensive war since the birth of life on the Alen Continent. It directly involved more than a million troops, and it was the first war since the emergence of extraordinary power. The sound of iron hooves resounded across the land of the Crete Empire, and the war flag fluttered in the sky.
The army of the Holy Seville Empire and the Church of Light rushed towards the capital of Crete from two different directions.
Crete Empire, Niyah
Although the upper echelons of the empire had tried their best to cover it up, the news that 300,000 elites had been killed by the Holy Seville Empire in the Depps Grand Canyon had still spread. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Holy Seville Empire were now heading directly for Niyah.
The Holy Seville Empire, which had originally only wanted revenge, now had a different purpose. More troops and reinforcements from the Orc Empire were being mobilized towards the Crete Empire, and many cities were being occupied by the orcs.
The Holy Seville Empire had given the nobles of the Crete Empire and the cities along the way two choices. They could choose to believe in the Faith of the Sun and join the Holy Seville Empire. If they did, they could become ordinary citizens of the empire, and humans and orcs would be treated as equals. If they refused, the nobles and troops would be enslaved, and the civilians would be heavily taxed.
Along the way, a large number of cities surrendered. The army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was like a hot knife through butter. At this point, the city of Cheniya was in a state of panic. The commoners and nobles, who had looked down upon the orc empire with contempt, were now frightened by the might of the Holy Seville Empire. They were like rabbits in a panic.
The entire capital seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds. A large number of civilians wanted to flee the city, and even more nobles wanted to flee. Even the nobles in the palace, as well as the high-ranking officials of the empire, were arguing over whether to surrender or sue for peace.
At this moment, whether it was Emperor Zolman or Prime Minister Tembor, both of them had lost control of the Empire. They had lost their prestige and 300,000 elites, and their backbones had been completely broken. Even the commoners had begun to spit on and curse them. Countless families in the city who had lost their sons and husbands had fallen into darkness, and even more nobles had begun to turn their backs on them.
At this moment, the army of the Church of the Bright Diocese of Crete suddenly set off. Under the leadership of Cardinal Leon, the city guards automatically opened the city gates and entered the capital. Knights with the Holy Sun Inscriptions on their robes and cloaks entered along the King's Avenue.
They surrounded the palace of the Crete Empire, and a large number of knights and priests of the Church of Light rushed into the palace, occupying the capital and the palace.
The Cardinal Cardinal led a large number of knights and broke into the meeting hall of the Crete Empire's higher-ups, who were in the middle of a meeting.
Tembor stood up and looked at Cardinal Leon. "What are you doing? This is the palace of the Crete Empire! This is the city of Niyah …"
Leon kicked the fat man to the ground and took out the Pope's edict. He looked at the panicking crowd in the hall and said, "By the Pope's edict, in the name of God, the Emperor of Crete, Zolman II, is expelled from the Church and convicted."
Leon shook his head and immediately saw a large number of knights behind him move. "Zolman, Tembor, and Tito, the three of you have been arrested. What awaits you will be the judgment of God!"
Zolman II, the young emperor, slid down from his throne and collapsed to the ground. Tembor lay on the ground and shouted in protest. Only Tito, whose hands were stained with blood, was able to face the situation calmly. The three of them were dragged away by the knights of the Church of Light, and it was announced that they would no longer be the rulers of the Crete Empire.
