Chapter 1613 War Church

Lu Ning van Batel stood on a collapsed stone pillar, looking at the other senior clergymen of the Church of True God who were discussing how to dig underground to bury the ruins, an inexplicable sense of irritability emerged from the bottom of his heart , giving him the urge to destroy everything in front of him.

It's no wonder that he has such a big emotion, because he has been in this boring, damn place for two full months, and in these two months, not only have they not made any progress, they even have a unified excavation plan. None of them were taken out.

Originally, they planned to take advantage of the chance that Lord Protector Barbarisa took his wife and children to go on a trip, unknowingly dug up the things buried in the ground of this original holy place, and brought them back to their respective churches, but the result was that Now that Barbarisa has been back for a long time, their excavation operations are still in the plan, which makes Lu Ning have the idea of ​​killing all these guys more than once in his mind to dig the ruins alone.

It's a pity that his strength does not allow him to do this, otherwise he would have already done it.

Now he was already suspecting that he would be dispatched to this excavation mission. It might be a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the archbishop. The purpose was to eliminate him, the archbishop's right-hand man, before doing anything to the archbishop.

As one of the twelve War Priests of the Church of War, Lu Ning has always been considered one of the right-hand men of Archbishop Maysville, and also the biggest supporter of Archbishop Maysville becoming the Pope of the Church of War.

The Church of War can be said to be one of the oldest churches on the mainland, but as the Church of the True God, it is very young, only less than two hundred years old, and before that, it has always been an underground church in various countries on the mainland. In the worst situation, they were even treated as heretical cults by the Church of True God.

It is precisely because the situation in the past was very bad, and it may be destroyed at any time due to the encirclement and suppression of various heretic hunter organizations or the Inquisition of the Church of True God. Therefore, the Church of War has not had a unified leader for a long time in the past, such as the Pope and the Pope. Similarly, the power within the church is held by three war archbishops, who also represent the beginning, progress and end of the war. It is precisely because of this system that the war church has experienced large-scale wars again and again. After the siege, it can still exist in the world and develop smoothly, because as long as there is a War Archbishop still alive, the War Church will not be destroyed.

As the region with the most wars in the entire continent, the Middle Kingdom region took it for granted that the War Church regarded it as their main parish, and their teachings were also very popular in this war-prone area. There were countless people, and even for a period of time, the Church of War could claim that the entire Middle Kingdom region was full of believers in the Church of War. Although this was an exaggeration, it was not far from the truth.

It is precisely because of the tenacious ability of the Church of War to survive, coupled with its strong missionary ability, that the Church of True God gradually changed its attitude towards the Church of War, and finally carried out a series of religious reforms in the Church of War two hundred years ago. The cruel and tyrannical part of the doctrine, after improving some bloody sacrifice ceremonies, the Church of True God accepted it as one of them, thus allowing the Church of War to preach publicly.

After more than two hundred years of safe missionary period, the Church of War has gradually discovered some drawbacks of the religious reform. For example, among the teachings that were eliminated, most of them were the most deceptive content in the teachings of the Church of War, and this part was lost. Doctrine, although the Church of War has increased many believers in the process of preaching, but those are only general believers, not true believers. After all, no normal person would regard war as a belief, and there are very few fanatics. Far from being an underground church in the past, there were a large number of fanatics who were willing to die for the church.

In addition, the three-bishop system that originally helped the war church to survive the crisis of extermination during the period of the underground church, after entering the period of peaceful missionary, its advantages disappeared, but its disadvantages became more and more obvious. The obvious disadvantage is the church split.

The three archbishops all have equal status, they all have a church classic, and they all have their own unique understanding of the doctrine of war. They have a large number of followers of their own in the church. At the beginning, this state of division was not obvious. However, as more than two hundred years passed, the internal rift in the church became wider and wider, and some other churches that had a hostile relationship with the War Church also took the opportunity to provoke, making the internal structure of the War Church even more fragmented.

Although the War Church is now the Church of the True God in the Old Continent, the church with the fastest development momentum, the most believers, and the most dioceses, but these are just superficial. In fact, the church is already extremely weak and may die due to internal fighting at any time.

In this regard, whether it is the three archbishops or the twelve war priests under them, they are all very clear about the situation, and they are willing to abandon their previous suspicions and improve the internal situation of the church. The best way is to elect a Pope who belongs to the Church of War.

Although it is said that anyone who is an official believer of the church is eligible to become the pope of the War Church, but in fact there are only three archbishops who are truly qualified to become the pope. For example, Lu Ning supports Archbishop Maysville among them. In the hands of the archbishop is the dogmatic book representing the outcome of the war.

However, before the Pope is elected, there is still one very important thing to do, and that is to make the God of War and Riot believed by the Church of War a real god, not that kind of false god.

The God of War and Riot has always had many believers, because the war and riots in the Old World have never stopped since the emergence of civilization, and people who have been in the midst of war for a long time will more or less choose to believe in War and Riot. The God of Chaos, so if the number of believers is to be used as a comparison of the strength of the gods, then the God of War and Riot is definitely the most powerful god in the world.

But in fact, the status and power of the God of War and Riot, whether in the period of the underground church or the current period of the Church of True God, has always been in an embarrassing state. Among the many gods, He is neither The strongest is not the weakest.

The reason for this is entirely because the God of War and Riot has always been a false god from the moment he appeared, or a demigod who is closer to a god. This situation is not an isolated case. This is the case for most of the gods among them, and the only disadvantage of this false god state is that they leave the parish, and their power will be greatly weakened, and the number and quality of believers also determine their strength. Once the power of the church is weakened, their own power will also be weakened. Unlike true gods such as justice, the strength of the church has little effect on it.

Therefore, when the church began to decide to select a Pope leader, the God of War and Riot issued an oracle, that is, if any one of the three archbishops can find an artifact that contains the laws of world war, whoever You can directly become the pope and receive his blessing.

Also because of this oracle, all the factions of the Church of War, under the command of the archbishop they supported, went all over the world to search for artifacts with the laws of war. Although some legendary artifacts were indeed found in the process, these Artifacts don't contain the laws of war, not even ordinary world laws.

This was the case until half a year ago, when a scholar who compiled the history of continental wars for the Church of War found a clue when he was researching the history of the Middle Kingdom, that is, the primordial god born in the Middle Kingdom had the world's laws of war .

After discovering this clue, the scholar died suddenly. Although the cause of death was said to be an accident, only a few people knew what it actually was.

The death of the scholar did not cause any movement within the War Conference. On the contrary, the clue provided by the scholar attracted the attention of many people. After a series of investigations, someone from the Maysville faction where Lu Ning belonged In very old books, it was discovered that the relics of the God of Beginning were buried under the Holy Place of Beginning near the territory of Barbarisa, which most likely contained the laws of war in the world, because according to the information they found, Among the relics is a weapon used by the Primordial God in battle, and the probability that this weapon contains the laws of world war is very high.

At that time, Lu Ning, who was expanding the influence of believers for Archbishop Maysville, was temporarily transferred to the matter of excavating the Sanctuary of Inception, because it was very important to Archbishop Maysville, and Lu Ning was his most trusted subordinate. Archbishop Maysville will be relieved only if the matter is in Lunin's hands.

After Lu Ning took over, he found that he was not the only one who was staring at the underground ruins of the Holy Place of Initiation. There were also several Churches of True God who were eyeing the relics of the God of Inception banned in the ruins, and several of the Churches of True God had already united. Arise, and send men to the sanctuary together.

For this reason, Lu Ning had to pay some price, joined the union of these Churches of True God, and represented the only participant representative of the Church of War, in order to prevent the possibility of the other two archbishops intervening.

Originally, Lu Ning thought that this excavation task was a very simple matter, because they knew in advance that the ruins of the Sanctuary of the Primordial God were buried under the Sanctuary, and Barbary, the Lord Protector who had absolute control over this generation Sa was not in his territory, so as long as they didn't make too much noise when they were digging, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Unexpectedly, several months have passed, and the excavation work is still in the discussion stage without any progress, which makes Lu Ning suspicious and always feels that something is wrong.

As for why the excavation work has stagnated, it is still under discussion. The main reason is that they found that they were unable to destroy the prohibitive power imposed by the builders of the sanctuary ruins on the ground, and several people were even trying to forcibly destroy those few places. When I was at the foundation, something inexplicably happened to me.

And more importantly, with the return of Lord Protector Barbarisa, his attention to the Sanctuary of the Beginning has increased a lot, forcing them, the senior clergy of the Church of True God, to disguise themselves as workers to avoid Barbary. Sarah's eyes and ears.

Thinking of this, Lu Ning became a little angry. He really couldn't understand why these senior clergymen of the church were afraid of Lord Protector Barbarisa? Is it simply because of its sainthood? In his opinion, as long as they, the Church of the True God, unite to put pressure on Lord Protector Barbarysa, let alone digging up the remains of the sanctuary secretly, even if Lord Protector Barbarysa sends someone to help them dig out those banned Relics aren't much of an issue either.

It's a pity that after he proposed to put pressure on Barbarisa, all he got was ridicule from other senior clergymen of the church. In the next few days, he looked at him as if he was looking at an ignorant person, which made him feel even worse. Annoyed, he became more and more out of group, so much so that when discussing how to deal with the power contained in those foundation stones, he didn't even think about participating.

"This is..." Just as Lu Ning looked at the group of useless people who were still doing useless work in front of him, and was about to start all over again and do it by himself, a force that resonated with the divine power of war in his body suddenly appeared in the sanctuary. Come out from the other side.

Sensing the abnormality, Lu Ning didn't move his expression. Before the other church people noticed him, he quietly left and walked towards the direction where the resonance power was transmitted. Soon he came to that place, and the resonance force The power also disappeared at this time.

This is one of the five foundation stones that they found that contained a variety of divine powers. According to speculation, these foundation stones were used to seal the relics of the primordial god in the buried ruins underground, but because of the influence of the divine power contained in the foundation stones, they could not Determine what the banned relic below is.

However, before Lu Ning dug up the foundation stone, he could already be sure that the forbidden relic under the foundation stone should be the weapon of the primordial god he was looking for, because the resonance power just now was clearly caused by the world's laws of war. The resonant response of God is the inspired guidance of the god of war and riot.

From his point of view, it is obvious that the God of War and Rebellion has been extremely dissatisfied with their dilly-dallying and procrastinated excavation behavior for several months, so when he wanted to get rid of those wastes and do it alone, he gave the gods enlightenment, Let him know where he should start digging.

"Directly use divine magic to blast away this blocking stone." Lu Ning, who believed that he had received the revelation from the gods, didn't think about it any more, and became bolder. He was not going to delay any longer, and decided to use the strongest method immediately. , smash the foundation stone in front of him, take away the things under the stone, as for what kind of commotion will happen, he doesn't care about it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to walk to the foundation stone, and began to perform his best magic of war, which was a special magic for siege. He could use the power of war to create an invincible battering ram Break any obstacles, and this obstacle naturally includes the foundation stone below.

But when he cast the divine spell, the divine power generated by various mysterious runes in the foundation stone surged out instantly, enveloping it like a raging fire, and before he could react, it was burned to ashes .
