Invincible Chapter 261

In the year 1112 of the Imperial Calendar, the historical line was deflected in the winter of this year.

The Holy Light has mercy on the world, the Holy Light protects mankind, and the way of the Holy Light was brought to the world by the gods and people. In this era of plague and catastrophe, it has become the only divine power to save lives and save the empire.

In the later records of the holy scriptures, Bach von Lebwitz was described as a figure similar to Prometheus in the Greek mythology of the earth, and there was a temple dedicated to it, with relief murals recording his deeds of light transmission.

For example, the first one, the theme: breaking through the darkness.

Not long after Bach and the Knights of the Holy Seal left Worcester Castle, which was later renamed the Fort of Holy Light, they encountered more than a dozen chaotic monsters coming along with the magic wind. Chaos feared that humans would get the Holy Light. The light is extinguished in the cradle.

However, Bach and the knights of the holy seal shouted the name of the holy light, wrapped in light, charged bravely, cut the bloody path, and left in the dust.

The truth is, on the road, I ran into a group of bandits who just cooperated with the outside world and ransacked a small manor nearby. This gang of bandits is a typical bully and fears the hard. When they saw Bach and his party's angry horses in fresh clothes and their armor shining, they immediately planned to avoid them. Hurry up, it's too late to dodge.

And Bach didn't know that this was a bandit at all, and thought he was fleeing. He didn't shout the name of the Holy Light, but shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

So the horse team roared past, only one unlucky ghost hid too hastily and fell down.

Another example is the second relief, the theme: the beginning of the grand road.

Bach, who was later named holy, confronted the Earl of the White Lion in Meissen. The eldest son of the Earl of the White Lion, Andreas, put the people first, fought against all opinions, and opposed the old guys with old-fashioned ideas. Support Bach, so that the Holy Light can spread quickly in the White Lion City.

The truth is, it is the young and inexperienced Andreas who is really stubborn and frivolous. He ridiculed Bach for bringing back the stuff of the old religion to fool people and gain fame.

Andreas was not even willing to give Bach the chance to demonstrate the power of the Holy Light. One of the important reasons was that the officer on duty at the city gate had a dispute with Bach over letting him enter the city. Privately spoke ill of Bach to Andreas, and Andreas was having a hot fight with the duty officer's sister because his wife died of an illness...

Jiang was still old and hot, and the old Earl Eddard realized that the situation was unusual. After verifying it on the spot, he even had the cheek to ask Bach to give the Eddled family a place to protect the light in front of everyone, and he would still be unconvinced. The son was taken to the backstage and beaten up, and he gave a death order that if he failed to carry out, he would lose his inheritance rights. Only then did Andreas the stubborn donkey become the first Guardian of the Light.

Andreas failed to inherit the title of Marquis Elector in the end.

He later died in battle at a young age. However, from the perspective of reputation, he is not at a loss. He won the title of "Holy" for himself, and the fact that he died in battle was indeed because of protecting the light, so it was exaggerated by later generations and spread widely. His historical status is almost that of King Arthur. Lancelot next to him had an affair with the watchman's sister, which was later described as a romantic love story.

In general, with the widespread spread of the belief in the Holy Light, the people who participated in the event were also held on the altar.

Just like in the modern world, those who are good-looking will praise her for being beautiful, and those who are ugly will praise her for her good temperament. The people of the Holy Light Sect also did the same thing. Those who were cunning at the time became smart and far-sighted, while those stubborn donkeys who behaved like turkeys became mature, prudent and quick-witted doers.

And the light transmission route has also become the route of the holy light pilgrimage in the future. The route is just like the route of the Dakar Rally.

In fact, the most convenient way at that time was to go directly to the capital of the empire, or any of the four major cities (similar to municipalities directly under the central government). These places were hardest hit areas, and they were also political and economic centers, and some were influential wealthy families.

Go straight in, and then bloom in all directions, radiating to the surroundings, so that the spread of the Holy Light Healing Method can be completed very quickly. Of course, if that's the case, the glory will be greatly shared.

Lord Werner of Worcesterburg said this before his son Bach set off:

"My son, as the person who brought the Holy Light, your achievements are indelible. But if you don't know how to share, you will harvest many enemies while reaping glory. And if you don't know how to choose and are too generous, Otherwise, you may lose the opportunity to climb the peak of glory, and you will be laughed at for being stupid. Choose your future allies carefully."

Bach also agreed with this statement, but at the first stop, he was humiliated by Andreas, which had a great impact on him. Bach, who had to agree to the request of the Earl of the White Lion, remembered the haughty humiliation every time he saw Andreas, the Guardian of Light. He felt that the wealthy families in those big places might be more domineering, so he came to a village to surround the city. The entire empire was almost circled, and the four major cities hadn't gone yet.

Later, the people in the four major cities were full of dissatisfaction, and the people in power really had no choice but to invite them grandly. Only then did St. Bach enter the imperial capital.

This naturally violated the taboo of those in power, and at the same time laid the groundwork for the subsequent disputes between politics and religion.

Many people, as well as the lords of remote places, are on the side of the holy religion, while the rich and powerful, mainly the rulers of the four major cities, are on the side of the emperor.

Of course, the real conflict is still a struggle for power and interests. The lords of the frontier generally support the holy religion because they can use it. Fighting against alien races, especially the increasingly rampant forces of chaos, is impossible without the holy light.

As far as the blessings of the Sigma sect are concerned, hehe...

As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The empire is facing the catastrophe of three-quarters of the total population dying, what did the gods do? What role did the Church of Sigma play? They can't even save their own priests, or even save them, so what else can others count on?

In fact, the catastrophe of the plague is a relatively long, even slow, bad thing.

There is more than one major factor contributing to this situation.

For example, the Plague Clan's plague delivery ability.

This is not the case of bombers dropping chemical weapons. Every minute a city is covered by VX. Ratmen don't have that ability to drop chemical weapons.

As mentioned before, the original motive of this plague was a virus experiment. Experiments require careful observation and data collection. If it doesn't work once, do it again.

Moreover, the headquarters of the Plague Clan is in Luscia, which is similar to South America on Earth, and there are not many people who come to the Old World (another name for the area where the Empire is located).

Also, now is the Middle Ages, the population is mainly distributed in villages and towns, the bourgeoisie has just risen for a few years, the real urban population is not much, and there are not many big cities.

Against such a background, it is not an easy task to kill three quarters of the population.

In fact, although historical records show that the plague started in 1111 and ended in 1115, in fact it was only the peak period that passed. That is, the Plague Clan of the Ratmen ended the experiment with satisfaction.

Until 1124, when the "ratman killer" Mandred launched the Battle of the Howling Hill, the plague was not completely eradicated in the empire, but it was like a difficult and chronic disease, and it often recurred.

Later people counted the number of people who died from 1111 to 1115, and even later years, in the plague catastrophe. Only then did the so-called catastrophe kill three quarters of the total population. If it was just the plague that killed so many people, and with the addition of foreign races taking advantage of the fire, the empire would be destroyed.

But despite this background, Bach's line of spreading light and methods still became the main excuse for the royalists to attack in the future, believing that Bach was trying to gain fame and use holy threats, which caused the death of more than one million people in the empire.

Of course, the holy religion is spraying it back. One of the more popular sentences is: It seems that you love the people of the empire. From then to now, come on, give me an example. Which thing did you do for the people of the empire?

Whenever this time, the royalists will say, we built the city sewer system.

This has indeed happened in history. After the plague, the imperial people paid more attention to urban sanitation, and the urban sewer system was born after the imperial people learned from the pain. And later, the characteristic profession of the medieval warhammer world, the sewer patrol, was born.

Cruising in the dirty, dark, and pungent-smelling sewers, and confronting the ratmen hiding in it from time to time...Thriller movies, horror movies, many evocative stories and sewer heroes have been born.

After the history was tampered with by the arrival of Kane and his party, regarding urban hygiene and citizen hygiene, the original historical line was no longer gradually perfected, but was popularized following the light of Bach. The sheepskin scrolls, which originally recorded a series of practical health and epidemic prevention methods, have since been kept by the Holy Church and are also one of the holy objects.

So the holy religion can immediately go back: you build sewers? It is not the guidance of the holy light, and the people have made great efforts...

In short, Bach's transmission of light was successful, but it also left many troubles. However, during the time he was alive, the royal faction hadn't woken up. In other words, the holy religion had not yet been established at this time. The main focus of the royal faction was how to save the population. After all, the people are the foundation of power. And this time the loss was too great.

Therefore, they were mainly dissatisfied with Bach's actions at that time. They felt that they were belittled and humiliated, and they failed to participate in the grand event and share the glory in time. This kind of resentment also increased with the increasing influence of the Holy Light. , Later, the Loebowitz family spent nearly seventy years of bleak years. Two generations passed away, and the secret targets gradually decreased.

St. Bach passed on the light and created two famous knight orders in later generations.

The first one is the Holy Seal Knights, they have several unique honors.

They are the first people to believe in the Holy Light.

In fact, it is not, including Bach, they were not believers in the Holy Light at the beginning of the transmission of the light, but later they passed it on, experienced scenes of redemption time and time again, and were moved to limping themselves before believing in it.

However, in order to ensure that they can pass the light smoothly, Kane did give them some special protection.

For example, war horses.

This is also the glory of the Holy Seal Knights in the future, but it is not unique, because the Holy Light Horse has been sown widely at that time, and it is not only equipped by the Holy Seal Knights.

In fact, some mysterious things were blessed to enhance its upper limit of transformation, and then it was genetically modified in a magical way, making it not only strong, but also easy to absorb holy light.

Holy light is positive energy, which is beneficial to all non-negative life. So horses that are good at absorbing holy light can not only relieve fatigue and have stronger endurance through ingesting holy light, but they are also continuously optimized. If the optimization continues from generation to generation, it will naturally be powerful.

There were Pegasus in the Warhammer World in the Middle Ages. The province of Wesen, which inherited more than half of the land of Thor Province in the original historical line, had one of its main production characteristics, that is, raising Pegasus in the horse breeding land near the Gray Mountains.

The Pegasus was once considered the best warhorse, but has since been replaced by the Lighthorse, at least in the Empire. Some people have also tried to use the Holy Light Horse and Pegasus to mate. But no, the Holy Light Horse is too powerful to impregnate any horse other than the Holy Light Horse.

As for the Griffin who loves horses for food, the Holy Light Horse can even challenge it, jumping the horse and raising its hooves, if the Griffin is not paying attention, it will be trampled to death, which shows the strength and intelligence of the Holy Light Horse.

The treasures of the Holy Seal Knights also include 22 sets of Holy Light Armor.

This is Kane's work. He has the endorsement of the multiverse. The armor he designed naturally fully interprets the aesthetics of violence, and the patterns are not repetitive.

These armors are mainly made to support Bach's platform. Human beings look at their faces, and they only stretch their heads when they are angry with fresh clothes. It is easy to enhance the awe and confidence of others.

The second is the protective effect. Kane is also afraid that these people will die before they leave the army.

The common characteristic of these armors is that under the influence of holy light, they can absorb free mysterious particles and gradually strengthen themselves.

Mysterious particles are mainly scattered in this world by the eight winds of magic and the power of chaos, and they are the chief culprit of the many mutated creatures in this world.

The armor of the holy light lasts forever, and after years of precipitation, each piece has been upgraded to a holy object, and like the saint's holy clothes, it can be adjusted according to the user's body shape.

It's just that in the process of inheritance, three pieces were destroyed in the early battles, and no one has been able to restore them, and two pieces were stolen, and one was taken away with the apostate, so after becoming a holy object, only 16 pieces. There are many stories born from it, and every inheritance will have a grand ceremony, full of glory.
