Chapter 696 The Saint and the Ceremony
General Fiske is the number one general of the Redstone Empire. After all, considering that he is the only master fighter in the entire Redstone plane, he is the number one general.
Of course, Fiske is not the kind of parallel import general who simply puts up a name and then entrusts the actual command of the army to his adjutant. This master professional who is loyal to the Redstone Kingdom still has some general talents.
For example... He at least knows some basic tactics that should be in the war, and also knows how to deal with a group of enemies in the canyon.
That's right, Fisk is the leader of the army who was ordered to wipe out the "Chisha Sect" cultists, and this time he brought the most elite soldiers from the Redstone Kingdom.
Although the only two master-level priests of the "Chisha God Sect" on the redstone plane have died, as a master-level professional of Fisk, it is enough to single-handedly come to the altar of these cultists and kill them, but In order to ensure the massacre of tens of thousands of Chisha believers, Fisk cautiously ordered the army to block every exit of the Ritual Canyon.
Because the task he received was to "kill all the believers of the Chisha God Sect", Fisk, who was a bit of a perfectionist, didn't want to let any "thief" escape.
The elites of the Redstone Kingdom are very efficient. Under the leadership of several formal-level professionals, this "army" approaching the canyon in an orderly manner from all directions took less than ten minutes to give the festival canyon Barricades were erected at every entrance and exit.
These metal thorn barricades made of steel point to the inside of the canyon like shields covered with thorns, and there are crossbowmen waiting in every hole above.
For ordinary people, this is already a terrible blocking method. It can be said that as long as they are not professionals, it is impossible for ordinary believers to break through such roadblocks. The official-level fighters guarding will shoot directly.
Professionals against professionals, ordinary soldiers against ordinary soldiers, this may not be a very powerful tactic, but it is definitely the most efficient tactic to intercept and slaughter the enemy.
Facts also proved that this surprise attack was effective. When the followers of Chisha God Sect reacted, their canyon had been completely sealed off, and tens of thousands of ordinary believers had all become caged birds.
"Report...report to the high priest, subordinates, subordinates have important matters...important matters to report"!
On the high platform of the altar in the open air, a panicked priest suddenly knelt down in front of the old man whom he called the high priest.
This priest is not a clergyman who is good at fighting. The divine spells he obtained mainly through prayers are used for long-distance scouting. He follows the high priest of Chisha God Sect to monitor the tens of thousands of believers on the altar at any time.
And at this time—at noon the day before the ceremony, when the old man called the high priest was praying solemnly, this "heavy responsibility" priest suddenly discovered something that he had to report as soon as possible. Things, for which he even interrupted the prayer of the old priest.
"It's not good, it's not good, Lord High Priest, the kingdom, the kingdom...the army they sent, the leader is Fiske...it's that executioner"...
"Quiet! Under the glory of the great Red Sand God, what a panic look like!"
Before the pastor finished speaking, an old voice suddenly stopped the pastor's report.
The old priest is an official-level priest who was re-elected after the death of the two master-level priests of the Chisha God Sect. He can become a temporary high priest because of his age, senior qualifications, pious faith and majesty. This firmly believes that "nothing matters." You need to panic, the God of Chisha will give shelter to the pious." Even though the old man knew that the priest beside him was in a hurry, he still finished the prayer ritual step by step before saying in a hoarse voice:
"Okay, so what can I say?"
Putting palms together piously, a gradually expanding aura of official magic appeared around the old priest. Only three people were wrapped in this halo, which obviously had the ability to shield and detect - the old priest himself, the priest who was in charge of reporting, and... ...Your Excellency the "Saint" wearing a robe the color of fireworks.
It was a beautiful girl with a stunning face. Red pupils and fiery red hair were as pure as liquid rubies. Although her figure was petite but had perfect proportions in a dress like fire, her frosty skin was glowing red. Against the background of the dress, there is a thrilling beauty—it is as gorgeous as a flame surrounded by colorful butterflies, and it is as beautiful as a butterfly in a raging fire.
"This... Your Excellency the Holy Maiden..."
Breaking away from the gorgeous and pure beauty, the priest raised his head with some doubts and glanced at "Your Excellency the Holy Maiden" standing quietly beside the old priest.
It's not that he thinks that the "Saint" cannot be trusted, after all, what he wants to report will soon be known to everyone, he just thinks... This kind of cruel thing that is enough to make any priest of the Chisha God Sect tremble when he knows the news is really true. Do you want to tell the "Saint" who is still a little girl?
You must know that the "saint" with high qualifications and sweet appearance is one of the spiritual symbols of the church. If she behaves in a mess... the glory of the great God of Red Sand will be clouded!
It has to be said that a devout believer is a devout believer, not to mention that the enemy "just" hit the door of the house, even if the big knife is already on the neck, it is estimated that their thoughts will only be how to die to ensure that the glory of the "God" will last forever. As for being killed... Fanatics are not afraid of death. What this priest is more afraid of is not death, but interference with the god's ceremony.
The old priest also saw the pastor's concerns, and he immediately understood what the pastor said meant.
However, the pious old priest did not show any panic, nor did he answer immediately. He just showed a kind smile without wave, and then leaned down slightly and said to the "Saint" with the ponytail:
"Your Excellency, the ritual of the gods is about to begin, but a group of arrogant blasphemers are trying to hinder the great blood sacrifice. In order to defend the glory of our Lord, countless devout "lambs" will sacrifice themselves. Are you...would you be afraid? ?”
"No, sacrifice to Grandpa, the great "God of Red Sand" is watching us, the glory of God washes the souls of each of us, those ridiculous blasphemers may kill our bodies, but they don't want to destroy Our will!"
The white face is tense, and only the flame of fanaticism burns in the eyes of the "Holy Maiden". The little girl who was discovered as a priest since she was a child, and then raised as a "Holy Maiden" can be said to be the most absolute fanatic of the Chisha God Sect. believer.
"very good"!
The old priest stroked the fiery red hair of the "Holy Maiden" in relief, and then he also said to the priest in charge of the message with a determined look:
"Have you heard! We will not be afraid of those blasphemers, they cannot destroy our will! The ceremony will never be stopped for any reason, even if we are powerless to resist, but at least let the ceremony be completely completed! In the name of the high priest, the ceremony has begun ahead of schedule, and it is our honor to die on this sacred altar!"
The voice of the old priest was sonorous and powerful, even without the reminder of the oracle, he could make the most pious decision.
He is not afraid of death, no matter what the method of death is, believers who come to this altar will perform blood sacrifices, and the old priest who is a fanatic and knows the inside story is not only not afraid, but also proud of it.
His only worry is... After his death, those shallow believers and false believers will not continue the ceremony... If that happens, the great god will be disappointed.
Letting the gods down is the most intolerable thing for fanatics.
So, after thinking for a while, the old priest once again solemnly exhorted the "Saint" in front of the communication priest:
"Golaya, my lord saint! I, a bad old man, may be killed by Fisk at the beginning of the ceremony, but you, a little girl with only apprentice-level strength, have a chance to survive... At that time, you Definitely, must lead the believers to continue the festival, the great god of red sand is watching you and me!"
"Well, Gloria remembers, Gloria will definitely complete this festival"!
The saint named Gloria made a pious promise.
