Chapter 231: Sweeping Haojing, Harvest, Female General

Faced with the attack of Zhou Lanying and others, the Portuguese did not show any stronger than others. They almost collapsed at the first blow and retreated to the church.

"Lord, please protect your believers!"

Richard stood in front of the statue and prayed silently. The holy power in his body resonated with the statue. A milky white light bloomed from the statue and gradually enveloped the church.

After seeing this scene, the other surviving Portuguese could not help but pray.

A large amount of spiritual power flowed into the statue, making its blooming brilliance more blazing, and the entire church was firmly guarded inside.

At the same time, Richard's consciousness suddenly rose, gathering the surrounding divine light, and suddenly manifested an angel body.

At this moment, Zhou Lanying and others who had already come to the outside of the church could not help but look at it with a little surprise.

"Human-shaped military soul? How strange?"

Moreover, those Portuguese did not seem to form a military formation, so how did they gather the military soul?

Zhou Lanying frowned and stared for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Captain? What did you see?"

"Hehe, that is not a military soul, but an existence similar to the mountain god and the land."

Hearing this, the faces of the others all changed.

They are confident that any army in this world will not be their opponent.

But facing the gods, they are not so sure.

"Mountain god and land? Captain, you mean, that is a god"

"No, no, no, it should be said that it is the heavenly soldiers sitting under the gods"

"Hu~!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, it is not a real god.

No, even if it is not a god, it is also a heavenly soldier. Can they really deal with it?

For a moment, everyone became slightly nervous again.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Lanying couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"What's there to be afraid of the heavenly soldiers? At most, they are at the level of magical powers. The military souls that we form into the military formation will not be much inferior.

What's more, these are not the heavenly soldiers of the gods of the Celestial Empire. How strong they can be is still to be discussed."

"Yes, how can these barbaric gods compare with the gods of the Celestial Empire?

Not to mention, these are just the heavenly soldiers under the gods."

"Let's go, let's meet these heavenly soldiers! Form the formation!"

Zhou Lanying led his men out in big strides and formed the military formation at the same time.

"Buzz~!"

In an instant, the military spirit rose up, and the golden red firebird emerged, with flames surrounding it, and the air around it was slightly distorted by the scorching.

On the other side, Richard, who had already discovered the traces of Zhou Lanying and others, also controlled the angel body and slowly came to the door of the church.

"The Lord is the only one in the world. Anyone who does not believe in the Lord is a devil.

Any devil will lose its power under the Lord's holy light."

As Richard muttered, a circle of holy light suddenly bloomed from his body, instantly covering a radius of 100 meters.

Zhou Lanying and others who came close were naturally also within the range of the holy light.

In an instant, they felt a faint repulsion from the surrounding heaven and earth, as if to suppress and eliminate their power.

However, this force was not strong, and everyone felt that as long as they exerted a little force, they could offset it.

However, before everyone took action, the military spirit that enveloped everyone had already slightly rippled, and in just a moment, the power was dissipated.

And above everyone, the golden red firebird flapped its wings slightly and suddenly let out a loud cry.

"Cry~!"

In an instant, a circle of red flames suddenly bloomed, and the milky white holy light that enveloped the surroundings was instantly dispersed, turning into dots of white light and dissipating.

Even the angel body controlled by Richard was slightly distracted for a moment, looking at the golden red firebird in disbelief.

"How is this possible? This is the power of an angel"

Compared to Richard's shock, Zhou Lanying was extremely disappointed.

"I didn't expect that you made such a big scene, but it was just a flower stand"

"No"

Richard's eyes flickered, he muttered in disbelief, and suddenly spoke again.

"God said that pagans should be burned by fire."

The angel's wings flapped, and the infinite holy light gathered, instantly turning into a ball of milky white flames, rushing towards Zhou Lanying.

As a controller of the angel's body, he knew too well the disadvantages of this method. As long as the leader could be killed, the angel would naturally collapse.

And in his opinion, the one who summoned the golden red firebird must be Zhou Lanying as the leader.

In this case, he only needs to kill Zhou Lanying, and the golden red firebird will naturally collapse on its own.

After launching a powerful attack, the angel body controlled by Richard once again dispersed and gradually became illusory.

However, at this time, he did not pay attention to these things at all, but just stared at Zhou Lanying and the holy fire that rushed over at a very fast speed.

"Eh~? Fire? Isn't this a coincidence?"

Looking at the holy fire rushing over, Zhou Lanying couldn't help but smile.

"Cry~!"

The golden red firebird cried, and the mysterious fluctuations suddenly spread, suddenly covering the holy fire that rushed over.

"Boom!"

"Buzz buzz buzz"

The holy fire paused slightly at first, and then stopped in the air, trembling violently, with milky white sparks floating, looking holy and gorgeous.

But Richard at this time was in no mood to appreciate it.

Feeling that his control over the holy fire was being gradually usurped, he almost had a mental breakdown.

"No, how could it be? This is the holy fire of my Lord to punish sinners, how could it be controlled by sinners?"

Richard's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he whispered.

"For the glory of my God!"

The next moment, the statue in the center of the church suddenly burst into brilliant holy light, and the Portuguese who were enveloped by the holy light all burst into a little spiritual light at this time, and rushed to the statue at a high speed.

This made the power of the statue even more brilliant.

At the same time, everyone's body was thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a skeleton-like mummy, and finally collapsed directly, turning into a dust and dissipating.

In this process, they kept closing their eyes and praying, revealing a happy yearning.

It seems that they saw heaven and the angels who came to take them.

Including Richard, who controlled all this, the body's energy and spirit were constantly leaking out, but compared with other people, it was much more.

Afterwards, the power of the statue that had extracted the energy and spirit of everyone increased greatly, and endless holy light rushed to the angel at the door.

In an instant, the angel's body suddenly burst out with brilliant holy light, and then quickly converged, turning into a fist-sized ball of light, carrying the power of condensing itself, and rushed straight to the holy fire in the air.

"Cry!"

The firebird cried, and a ball of red flame suddenly flew out. Although it was late, it arrived in front of the holy fire first and directly hit the light ball transformed by the angel.

"Boom!"

In an instant, red and white light illuminated the world, and violent shock waves spread in all directions.

The doors and windows of the church in the distance were blown to pieces and in ruins.

When the shock wave swept over Zhou Lanying and others, the golden red firebird flapped its wings and instantly dropped a golden red light, blocking the violent shock wave.

In the end, it just caused a ripple.

Looking forward again, the flames emitted by the military soul firebird and the light ball condensed by Richard's burst of all divine power have all been shattered and dissipated into red and white light spots.

On the contrary, the holy fire that was closer to him was shaken violently by the violent shock wave at the beginning, and it seemed to be about to collapse at any time.

But in the end, it still persisted.

However, in the end, only a milky white flame the size of a ping-pong ball remained.

Feeling his control over the flame, Zhou Lanying couldn't help but feel happy, and immediately summoned it in front of him through the golden red firebird.

Then, Zhou Lanying took out a red jade ball, and the true energy flowed on it. The red jade ball instantly burst out with a suction force, sucking the milky white holy fire into it.

Looking at the red jade ball in his hand with satisfaction, Zhou Lanying put it away with his backhand, and then looked towards the direction of the church.

At this time, the church no longer had the power of holy light, and the doors and windows were all broken.

After Zhou Lanying sensed through the military soul that there was no breath of life in it, he lifted the military formation and led everyone in to check.

Inside the church, apart from the seats that collapsed and became a mess due to the shock wave, there was only a hunched figure lying on the ground under the statue in the front.

"Dead."

Everyone just took a look and concluded that the man was dead through the breath sensing.

"Captain, didn't many people enter this church before? Why is there only this one now?"

"I'm afraid he was sacrificed to this so-called god."

Zhou Lanying looked at the statue hanging in front and said thoughtfully.

"Ah~?"

Everyone was shocked at first, and then they showed a look of understanding.

"These barbaric gods are indeed evil gods and lewd worshipers, without the virtue of our righteous gods in the heavenly dynasty."

"Haha, it's like this!"

Zhou Lanying smiled lightly, showing a look of course, and then came under the portrait. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but smile.

The power in the portrait has been exhausted.

However, she could faintly sense that there was still a trace of divinity in it.

Perhaps, she could comprehend some mysteries from it, and even if not, she could hand it in to get some credit.

How could this be an item containing divinity, so how could the credit be less?

In the Celestial Empire, the practice was naturally to return the seized items to the public.

But before that, items like this that could be comprehended or knowledge-based could be comprehended in advance, or even copied and rubbed.

For the dynasty, the wider the knowledge is spread, the better, so that the people can be enlightened, and it is more conducive to their understanding of the rules of heaven and earth and the improvement of their realm.

Then in turn promote the promotion of the dynasty.

In addition, all the seized items are not completely handed over to the public for free, but will be exchanged for corresponding merits, and then distributed according to the size of the merits.

Although merits cannot be exchanged for money and other things.

However, they can be used to promote their own positions, honorary officials, and even lords, etc.

Even some special resources in the army need to have enough merits, or even the corresponding official titles, to be exchanged.

Under normal circumstances, money and other items are absolutely impossible to exchange for merits.

The only exception is that the spoils of war captured will be converted into corresponding merits.

So, unless there are special circumstances, no one will be stupid enough to embezzle the spoils of war.

After realizing that there is a divine existence in the statue, Zhou Lanying immediately reached out with joy to take it off and put it in his backpack.

When he is ready to go back, he will study it carefully.

Of course, the rest of the team can also comprehend it together.

This is the common spoils of the team, so they can naturally comprehend it together.

After putting away the statue scroll, Zhou Lanying clapped his hands and said to everyone with a smile:

"Okay, since all the Portuguese who obstructed us from taking over Haojing have been killed, our mission is also completed.

As for the remaining Portuguese, let the future governor of Haojing deal with it.

Let's report the matter first."

After that, Zhou Lanying reported the matter carefully through his captain status.

Then everyone left the church and began to patrol around Haojing, confiscating all the Portuguese's property, etc.

On the same day, Wang Chao received the report and his face immediately sank.

It seems that these foreign barbarians can't tell who is the big and small king.

Not only the Portuguese in Haojing, but also the Spaniards and Dutch in Dongfangwei, they also have to be expelled.

If you come to the Celestial Empire again, you must follow the rules of the Celestial Empire.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Chao immediately ordered:

"Come here, let the world know that my daughter Zhou Lanying has made great contributions in driving out the enemy and recovering the land. She is promoted to the garrison of Haojing and a fifth-rank general of military strategy.

I hope she will perform her duties conscientiously and make new achievements!"

Well, Zhou Lanying is the daughter of Zhou Wen, the former head of the Military Merit Department of the Ministry of War and the current Minister of War.

However, as the daughter of Zhou Wen, a literati, she does not like literary affairs, but likes military affairs.

This is probably related to Zhou Wen's identity. Although she was originally a literati, after joining the Life-Saving Army, she has always been in charge of the Military Merit Department.

So Zhou Lanying has always liked military affairs under the influence of her family.

Even later, she signed up for the army without telling her family.

Although Zhou Wen was very angry after hearing about it.

But the matter was settled, and he could only let it go.

The most important thing is that there are indeed female soldiers in the Salvation Army.

However, only a very small number of them went to the battlefield, and they were basically doing logistics and military doctors.

Zhou Lanying took the initiative to ask to join the combat unit on the first day of enlistment.

Then because of hard training, he was successively promoted to squad leader and platoon leader, and made some contributions in the subsequent battles and was appointed as a captain.

But this time, it was her first time to complete a task independently.

And her first mission, she made a great contribution.

In addition, she is also the first female general to be canonized by the imperial decree of the Heavenly Dynasty. The dynasty naturally has to publicize it well and let the world know that in my Heavenly Dynasty, both men and women can serve as officials and generals.
