Chapter 156 Pilgrimage Ceremony

After the signing of the "South Cyber ​​City Agreement", the two sides entered a brief period of peaceful development.

The reason why it was short-lived was that within a few years after the war ended, the Kingdom's Allied Forces fought for territory by themselves.

Some of these kingdoms were very close to the Great Shang Dynasty, while others were far away, and there were even several countries in between.

However, the territory they divided was within the territory of the Shang Dynasty, which caused the two territories to be unable to be linked together.

Chris originally coordinated in the middle, and ensured that the territories of these countries were connected as much as possible by replacing territories.

But the results were far from satisfactory, because the cities in the Great Shang Dynasty were prosperous and the land was fertile, and the territory of the pioneered land had just begun to develop.

As a result, no king was willing to replace the territory of the pioneering land with the territory allocated by the Great Shang Dynasty.

Chris saw that no matter how much he tried to mediate, it was useless, so he exchanged the territory he had allotted for three provinces in the neighboring country, and then returned to his home country.

There was nothing in the beginning of this situation, but less than three years after the end of the war, something went wrong.

These isolated territories were divided up by several surrounding countries. Anyway, the country that owns this territory is separated from them by several countries.

Even if they swallowed this territory, those kingdoms would have nothing to do.

If they want to regain their territory, they must first lead their troops to cross several countries, not to mention whether the countries on the road agree or not. Even if they agree, they will not be able to fight in different places for a long time when they come over.

But what they didn't expect was that the annexed countries banded together and went on a crusade against those who annexed their territories.

The Kingdom Alliance had just ended the war with the Church of Light, and was caught in a ten-year territorial war.

When Chris was fighting in the kingdom, he kept his troops still, vigorously developing commerce in the country, encouraging farming, and recuperating with the people. The strength of the Copa Kingdom steadily improved and gradually became stronger.

In the tenth year of the kingdom's melee, Chris personally led the Magic Legion on an expedition. In just half a year, he destroyed nine kingdoms in a row, more than doubling the territory of the Kopa Kingdom.

Seeing that Chris continued to march, he had an indomitable momentum. The remaining kingdoms sensed the crisis and immediately put down their hatred and began to organize a coalition to deal with Chris.

The fourth-order powerhouses put too much pressure on them, and no one dared to despise Chris' magic army.

But they fought for ten years, the people's livelihood in the country was withered, and the army and the people were tired of the war. At this time, their army encountered Chris' powerful magic army again, and they had no fighting spirit at all, and they were all overwhelmed on the battlefield.

With little effort, Chris broke through the coalition, and then made great progress. Within two years, he went to 23 countries, expanding the territory of the Kopa Kingdom tenfold again!

In the year 370 of the Holy Calendar, Chris ended his three-year foreign expedition and returned triumphantly.

The whole kingdom of Kepa was boiling, and the people of the royal city went out of the city for hundreds of miles to meet their king.

In the same year, Chris changed the kingdom of Kopa into the Chris Empire, and established an empire with a vast territory, many ruling nations, and a powerful monarchy.

The territory of the Chris Empire today exceeds 10 million square kilometers, which is larger than the area of ​​China in the real world, but it is still only less than a quarter of the heyday of the Great Shang Dynasty.

When the Chris Empire swept across the major kingdoms in the middle of the human race, the Church of Light also completed its own purification.

After the "Shame of Nansai City", the Church of Light, from the Pope to the lower-level priests, was greatly stimulated.

Under the iron-blooded hand of the new successor Innocent V, a large-scale internal purge began. Those who had previously swayed Leon III, as well as the corrupted bishops in the upper classes were all sent to the Inquisition. stake.

After Innocent V eradicated these people, he began to return the land and property annexed by the upper-class priests to the believers, and even took out the Church of Light's own land and distributed it to the believers.

Innocent V's virtuousness was praised by all believers, and the smoky Church of Light suddenly became clear, and the originally shaken believers began to return to the brilliance of the Goddess of Light.

In fact, many middle and low-level priests of the Bright Church have devout beliefs, but they believe that the Pope's order is God's will, so they faithfully and fearlessly implement it, which has led to the disastrous defeat of the Bright Church today.

In 373, Innocent V convened an annual pilgrimage after completing his internal purification.

This time, unlike the previous pilgrimages, King Innocent V will lead all the senior leaders of the church to repent to the Goddess of Light. Because of their reasons, the Goddess of Light has lost many devout believers, so that her glory cannot cover those lost lambs. .

Innocent V not only prayed to His Highness the Goddess of Light for forgiveness, but also wanted to listen to the oracle.

After this news was released, two months before the pilgrimage ceremony, there were endless cars and crowds going to the city of St. Galis, the country of the Church of Light. A large number of believers of the Church of Light started from their hometowns, kowtowing step by step, It took several months to come step by step to the holy place in their minds, the city of San Galis.

From all the provinces in the Shang Dynasty, you can see believers who are leaving for St. Galis City, and you can see believers of the Church of Light everywhere along the way.

At this time, in the Temple of Light in the city of St. Gallis, from the main hall to the steps outside, and to the square outside the main hall, there are devout believers kneeling.

Since half a month ago, the pilgrimage ceremony has already begun. Not only the clergy of the church, but also the believers in the entire city of St. Galis will go here to pray, and a large number of people will look down from the height of the temple. There is no end in sight.

At this time, it is not only the Temple of Light, but every corner of the city of St. Gallis is full of devout believers, so densely packed that it is enough to cause intense phobias.

But the strange thing is that so many people did not make a single sound, as if a mysterious smell permeated the entire city of St. Gallis.

A large number of believers outside the holy city were blocked because they could not get in. They were unwilling to leave, and even prayed in the direction of the Temple of Light outside the city.

Pope Innocent V led all the cardinals and other senior leaders of the church to kneel at the feet of the statue, and many clergymen who were far behind also knelt down together.

The most devout believers of the Church of Light who have traveled thousands of miles to the city of St. Gallis. The power of faith generated by their prayers together is extremely terrifying.

Even people who don't believe in the Goddess of Light are here at this moment, and they can be shocked by this huge power of faith, and they dare not have the slightest idea of ​​blasphemy.

The incomparably huge power of belief gathered together and rushed straight to the kingdom of God in the sky, causing the statue of Lophis outside the temple square to suddenly burst into holy light and trembled slightly.

Chen Luo, who was in the Marvel World at that time, immediately felt the change in the kingdom of God, and he quickly returned to the kingdom of God to check what happened.
