Mount & Blade: Wind of War - Chapter 580
c567 A hundred years of planning, extradite the outer gods
More than ten years ago, Rhodes went to the capital Fastel to send back the little princess Anna. At that time, he made friends with a group of imperial dignitaries.
Among them, he had contact with the Eye of Judgment of the state religion and the backbone of the church at that time.
At that time, because of the unity of body and mind in practicing holy light energy, Rhodes accidentally noticed a backbone of the church. He had a kind of evil and cold creature like a jellyfish entrenched on his body.
However, Rhodes did not want to cause trouble at that time, so he did not expose it and left.
In the past ten years, the development of the religious country has been very rapid. Although the national strength has not increased rapidly, the beliefs of the people and nobles from top to bottom have been built like an iron barrel and are extremely solid.
Although the intelligence agency of the Lonely Mountain Castle has reported to Rhodes, this is also normal. Neither Rhodes nor most people in the world have paid much attention.
Until today.
Pope Prince, who was attacked by the dragon demon, had tentacles of light extending from his chest. The next moment, he was surrounded by light, covering the dragon demon, the lord of hell.
Rhodes was also very familiar with this system. He saw at a glance that with Pope Prince as the center, thousands of faith lines connected to him on the entire battlefield.
“But these faith lines are too stable. Even if they are kept in a state of prayer, they can’t reach this level, right? What’s more, this is still a chaotic battlefield?”
The battlefield was already in chaos.
The dragon demon tore through the space and appeared in the center of the coalition army with a large number of hell generals and hell demon soldiers under his command, forming a local outnumbered battle. At this time, Fatis, Yaros and others around Rhodes had already started to fight with swords.
Only Rhodes stood there. Before he figured out the doubts in his heart, he didn’t intend to take action. At that moment, Rhodes was sure: the dragon demon was dangerous, but the Pope Prince might be more dangerous than it!
Boom.
Under the energy explosion and crazy bombardment of the dragon demon, the “Kingdom of Light” covering a large area exploded and shattered.
Although the faith of those blood-robed cardinals was extremely firm, Prince still could not defeat the dragon demon in absolute violence. Moreover, these blood-robed cardinals were being slaughtered crazily by the hell demons because they were following him. Although their faith was extremely firm, their fighting power was not strong.
“Hahahaha, I originally thought that you were just a poor dead leftover who wanted to escape the doomsday plane, but I didn’t expect that you really wanted to be deified in another world! Hahahaha…”
Accompanied by the sound of wild laughter, Prince’s whole body was hit and flew backwards, breaking into pieces.
At this time, even if there were a large number of demon generals and demon soldiers to cover them with all their strength, the strong men on the coalition side had already reacted, and a series of powerful and domineering or mysterious and strange forces all attacked and enveloped the Lord of Hell, except for Rhodes.
At this moment, his pupils had completely turned into dark gold, staring at Prince’s broken and falling body.
The next moment, a huge white, constantly wriggling jellyfish-like foreign body appeared in Rhodes’ consciousness. Cultivating to his level is magical. Although he has not seen it physically, he has successfully seen through the spiritual image.
“Lord Rod Hart, please help me. As long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to share the faith of the Holy Kingdom with you.”
Along with these words, there are a lot of information:
This world once lost its gods due to the decline of the magic tide, but it has never lost its religious beliefs. Decades ago, when the magic tide first started, there were already powerful mages and priests who vaguely sensed it. Mages chose to look for ancient relics and search for knowledge, while priests in this world began to temper their spirits with various ascetic methods to communicate with gods.
Just like Principes of the Church of the Eye of Judgment.
After a long period of effort, they really communicated, but they were not as lucky as Arantir to communicate with the ancient gods of this world.
What they communicated with was a powerful group of mind flayers that existed in another plane world.
The world where this powerful group of mind flayers lived was on the verge of destruction and was in ruins. At the same time, they also sent back a terrible message: the fact that they could connect to us so easily shows that there were also huge problems in your world, but judging from the speed of the world’s destruction, your generation may not be able to see it.
On the one hand, there was fierce religious competition in this world, and on the other hand, there was a sense of responsibility to save the world. After years of mutual transactions and signing of contracts, Prince finally chose to merge with the mind flayer elders of another world.
Yes, it was a merger rather than a one-sided plunder and swallowing.
The top leaders of the Eye of Judgment Church were not stupid. In addition to the absolute negotiation advantage, although the mind flayers were a more powerful extraordinary group, they were eager to escape because their world was on the verge of destruction, so they still signed many equal soul contracts.
The mind flayers summoned from that world and merged with the believers of this world devoured and replaced the brains of the believers, but merged with their souls.
With all the magic that came from this, the Eye of Judgment became the most powerful church in the Styak Empire after years of operation, and even became the state religion.
In fact, the Eye of Judgment was tricked by the Mind Flayer, because the vast majority of fusions ended up being dominated by the Mind Flayer.
However, as the number of believers continued to increase, the power of faith became stronger and stronger. The elder of the Heart-Flayer Demon who merged with the ascetic monk Prince wanted to get involved in the divine power of this plane world: because of the knowledge reserve, the accumulation of believers, and the external environment, it seemed that the conditions for deification had been met.
In this vacuum period when the demon tide was surging but no one was deified, there might be a powerful legend who did not want to be deified, but it would definitely not be Prince.
For this reason, Prince even suppressed his own people and took the initiative to reduce the control authority of the Heart-Flayer Demon after the fusion.
Because deification is difficult, if the spirits of other worlds are deified in other realms, the difficulty will be greatly increased, so Prince needs enough local authority to reduce the repulsion of the plane.
