This page was the core page of the Book of Wisdom. It depicted an angel wrapped in light, holding a ball of light in both hands. Beneath the angel's feet was a ground full of broken corpses. Light burst out from the ball of light, and the corpses opened their eyes.
Super Divine Art, Resurrection Spell!
That's right. This page of the Book of Wisdom recorded one of the ultimate Divine Arts that mortals could use, the Resurrection Spell. Moreover, it was a mass Resurrection Spell.
He looked at the corpses on the ground with a compassionate expression, stretched out his finger, and said softly,
"Life should not be silent. Death will eventually be reversed …"
When he said this, the Book of Wisdom in his hand began to emit a milky white light. The entire book lit up, and wisps of white light gathered on the flipped open big book.
"In the name of the God of Life and Wisdom, reverse life and death …"
His voice became louder and louder. He did not speak loudly, but when he began to use this Resurrection Spell, it naturally resonated with the laws of the underworld, and thus produced some kind of extraordinary qualitative change.
Boundless life force converged, forming a huge angel of light in the sky. The angel gently flapped its wings, and the extremely dense life force converged into an incomparably thick pillar of light that soared into the sky. The boundless life force made the living people feel as if a miracle was descending.
No, this itself was a miracle. The Resurrection Spell itself was a miraculous Divine Art.
"Resurrection!"
A soul-shaking voice sounded. The Angel of Light in the sky shattered and turned into streams of light that fell and entered the corpses on the ground. The Light of Life gushed out and drowned the corpses one by one.
Regardless of the enemy, whether it was the enemies who had just died in battle or the dead on the battlefield not far away, they were all drowned.
At this moment, his four subordinates knelt down and lowered their heads devoutly.
Affected, the two knights and subordinates on the side knelt down as well. They looked at the corpses covered by the Light of Life with shock and anticipation.
In less than ten seconds, a corpse that was supposed to be dead suddenly trembled. Everyone's eyes widened, and there was an expression of shock and disbelief in their eyes.
"It really … came back to life!"
"Oh my god, this is a miracle. This is a real miracle!"
Alphonso raised his head and looked in shock at the Angel of Light that had yet to completely dissipate. He then looked at the enemies that were resurrecting one after another. At this moment, the shock in his heart was indescribable.
At this moment, an unprecedented thought arose in his mind. He looked up at Lin Xiao, who held the Staff of Life in one hand and the Book of Wisdom in the other. He lowered his head devoutly and silently chanted the name of the God of Life and Wisdom.
In that moment, he quickly abandoned the Divine God that he had not been devout to begin with, turning to the God of Life and Wisdom that he had just met.
Furthermore, his level of faith was growing at an unprecedented rate. His previous lifetime of faith in the Divine God had only reached the level of a general believer, but now, in less than an hour after hearing about the God of Life and Wisdom, his level of faith had rapidly surpassed that of a true believer and reached the level of a devout believer.
Lin Xiao sensed it the moment the lines of faith connected, but he was not surprised. Instead, he took it for granted.
He hadn't expended so much effort to use this mass resurrection spell out of pity or sympathy. His main goal was to save the first heir of the Gibson family. The others were just collateral damage.
If he wanted to open up the situation quickly, he needed the support of the Lord.
Not only did he need the Lord's subordinates, but he also needed the Lord's military strength and status to resist the suppression of the Divine Church.
In this world where religion was unified and the influence of religion was unprecedentedly strong, the struggle between the Divine Church and the Royal Family had never stopped. The nobles believed in the Gods, but they were also wary of the Church. No Royal Family or Noble was willing to let the Church overshadow their authority.
Of course, this was a bit far-fetched, but one thing was certain: the relationship between the nobles and the Divine Church was not that harmonious.
This gave them an opportunity.
In particular, the Divine Church had never displayed any miracles, and their priests didn't know any proper Divine Arts.
Lin Xiao could foresee that even if it wasn't him, the other Descenders would be able to overthrow the Divine Church with their own abilities.
And among them, the Church of the God of Life and Wisdom, who could use Divine Arts, would definitely benefit the most.
As for the conflict between the new Divine Church and the Royal Family after the Divine Church was overthrown, that was a matter for the future.
While he was deep in thought, the Life Force of the corpses was absorbed into their bodies. The dead woke up one by one, revealing a blank expression as they looked at their surroundings.
Lin Xiao held the scepter in one hand and the Book of Wisdom in the other. At this moment, there was still a remnant of Life Force in his body. In their eyes, he was like a holy and inviolable Saint who had descended to the world. His voice also contained a soul-shaking power.
"The Lord of Life and Wisdom has taken pity on you and bestows you with new life!"
Just as he finished speaking, Baron Gibson's eldest son, Alphonso Gibson, raised his head and shouted:
"You should have died, but the great God of Life and Wisdom has taken pity on you and performed a great miracle to revive you!"
Lin Xiao revealed a look of praise. This was a good assist.
This sentence seemed to make the dazed Warriors remember what had happened. Their eyes quickly became clear, and they all knelt down at the same time.
"I remember now. It was the great God of Life and Wisdom who revived me and saved me from the hands of the God of Death."
"The great God of Life and Wisdom above, please accept my humble but devout faith."
Dozens of revived Warriors knelt down at the same time. At this moment, more than 20 threads of faith were connected to Lin Xiao's mind. They were all devout believers.
"Very good. The price I paid was not in vain!"
He slowly put away the Book of Wisdom. The mass resurrection spell just now had used up all the energy stored in the book. He could no longer cast even the simplest divine spells.
But it was all worth it. There were nearly 30 soldiers on both sides who could fight. Including the militia who had died in the previous battle, there were about 50 on both sides. There were nearly 90 soldiers in total. In addition to the 14 church knights that he had trained previously, he could now mobilize more than 100 soldiers.
Among them, there were 16 who had reached the level of knights in this world, 32 who were no longer professional warriors, and more than 50 militia.
This strength was not inferior to some of the weaker barons. If they were prepared for a period of time, they would be able to face any barons head-on.
However, Lin Xiao did not plan to do so. In fact, he did not plan to take all of them with him. Instead, he let Alfonso, who had just joined the church, take his men back to the castle while he brought back the ones he had just recruited.
There was no need for him to look for the stone statue. After knowing his purpose, Alfonso patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
On the way, Lin Xiao found a group of Gulda's subordinates and asked them for information about Gulda. The leader of this group was called Demon. After hearing Lin Xiao's question, he quickly told him everything he knew. After listening to Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
According to Demon, they were originally wanderers or bandits who lived near another lord to the north of Baron Gibson's territory. A month and a half ago, they met Gulda. Their original leader was killed by Gulda, and they were conquered by his strength and made him their new leader.
After taking office, Gulda made bold and decisive reforms. Not only did he change the way he looted, he also officially occupied a village and made it his base. After that, he began to wantonly farm and recruit wanderers and bandits. His strength rapidly increased.
The set of armor they were wearing was prepared for them by Gulda. According to Demon, Gulda only had 40 sets of this kind of armor. He also had 40 elite warriors under his command.
This time, half of them were sent out to rob the Gibson family's mine. Their goal was to continuously loot and weaken the Gibson family's strength. Once they were weakened to a certain extent, they would send troops to attack Fort Gibson and plunder the Gibson family's wealth.
After that, they would use the mine as a bargaining chip to pay tribute to the ruler of this land, Earl Dyson, in order to obtain a noble title.
As long as they had a noble title, they would have the qualifications to fight with other lords and plunder their territory.
In this world, as long as you weren't a noble, no matter how strong you were, you wouldn't be recognized. Other noble lords had the qualifications to attack you and plunder your territory.
Once you had the status of a noble, you would have the qualifications to do whatever you wanted. As long as you had the ability and your actions were righteous, then everything you did would be justified.
As for how righteous this was, it was just a matter of mouth. If you had the qualifications, why would you be afraid of not having an excuse?
If it wasn't for Lin Xiao's interference, Gulda's plan might have succeeded. After all, 40 elite warriors with equipment that far surpassed the strength of this world, even a knight couldn't cut through them. Under the circumstances of deliberate planning, it wouldn't be a problem to kill an ordinary baron.
As for now, it was too bad.
Gulda took away half of the 40 sets of elite equipment that he brought into this world with great difficulty. Not only did his strength drop greatly, but Lin Xiao also discovered his existence in advance.
Of course, Lin Xiao wouldn't travel thousands of miles to deal with Gulda. It was enough to know that there was an opponent nearby. The most important thing now was his own development.
As long as he was strong enough, exterminating the opponent would be a matter of minutes.
After returning to the village of Fore, he brought back more than 20 militiamen and temporarily settled them outside the village to cultivate the fields with the villagers.
This was only a small village. With the productivity of this world, it couldn't support so many soldiers.
A normal small village could support at most ten soldiers, and this was the biggest limit. In fact, even ten was very difficult.
The Gibson family owned a small town, eight villages, and an iron mine. Even so, they could only support 40 soldiers and 5 knights.
Fortunately, he had the support of the divine spell of summoning food, and could transfer food through the Tesseract of Fortune. Otherwise, the dozens of elite warriors he brought back would have to disarm and return to work.
This was the limitation of this world. The productivity was too low. Even a proper lord wouldn't have many soldiers in his hands. Using a storm of soldiers wouldn't work in this world.
