Chapter 529
Chapter No.17 August Holy War
In the third month when Saint Laurent's name was revered as sacred, on August [-] of the first year of the new calendar, Saint Laurent officially launched the Holy War against the Ring of Ashes.

Because Saint Laurent said, their name is sin.

Because Saint Laurent said that they were blind believers who were blinded by the devil's anointing. Their hearts were good, but they deviated from the right way because of doubts, and completely violated Saint Laurent's "commandments".

The "Commandment" says, "You must not put Saint Laurent to the test of your Lord, for it is a sin if you doubt him."

——Because Saint Laurent said that these people chose the right way, but entered the wrong door.

This war is not about purification or crusade, but about salvation.

Saint Laurent said that the souls of these ashes were only a few feet away from the abyss.Only Roland and the disciples of the Sleeping Master can wrest their souls from the brink of the boundless abyss and restore them to rest.

Professionals from all over the world immediately responded to Roland's call, led by priests from all over the world, gathered into an army and gathered towards Titan.

"You should live for him! fight for him! die for him!"

A gray-haired old bishop held a steel hammer and held up a heavy stainless steel cross staff on the side of the street, indicating the direction for the army roaring past.

He is not just a commander, he is also a warrior at the moment—his thin bishop's robe is covered with an iron armor full of tiny steel nails, and there are two heavy steel rings on his wrists, and the steel rings are branded A shimmering cross.When the old bishop pointed the tip of the mace in the right direction, it would emit an extremely bright holy light.

"You have to respond! Respond with a loud voice!"

Pale flames burned in the old bishop's eyes, and his right arm, which was holding the mace tightly, was knotted with veins.

He raised his head and shouted loudly, his voice was like thunder: "May all the glory be to Saint Laurent—"

"All glory to Saint Laurent!!"

All the warriors responded without hesitation with the loudest voices they could.

The old bishop took a deep breath and roared again: "Saint Laurent——"

There seemed to be something rolling in his throat, and the praise was like a chant.

All the soldiers continued the second half of the sentence with one voice: "—Holy!"

Accompanied by their roars, the silver-white holy flame suddenly rose in their eyes.

The dry physical strength was replenished, their steps became lighter, their movements became more stable, and the sore muscles returned to their original state.

Feeling the miracle that happened to them, they once again praised in unison: "Holy Saint Laurent! Holy! Holy!!"

Their roars exploded in the wilderness, like thunder rolling, whistling in all directions.

"Speed ​​up! Stay in formation!"

The old bishop roared again: "Saint Laurent needs us!"

"Go and save our brother!"

After more and more fully armed professionals passed by him, the old bishop also swung his mace, turned around and stepped on the tall horse with steel armor like him, and headed towards the front of the rolling crowd. rushed over.

There are more than a thousand such legions gathered from all directions.The one on the edge has just left Su Ze, while the one closest to the battlefield has already entered the border of Titan.

Following Roland's weekly miracle of birth, Farnes' power level has increased by nearly two levels.Today's adult professionals will basically become the silver rank, and those with a little ability can step into the gold rank.Without exception, those who were originally in the silver rank have advanced to gold, and one-third of the original gold ranks have awakened the origin.

And after Roland's seven miracles have become common knowledge for everyone, the alienation of the souls of the silver ranks and the sublimation of the souls of the gold ranks will naturally subtly change their thinking patterns in a direction that is beneficial to Roland.

It can be said that Roland's influence at this time has surpassed the influence of any pope or god in the world at any time.

The emperor in the world must be crowned and blessed by Roland to be authoritative. Roland is the godfather of all emperors, and his opinions are completely higher than the rulers of all countries.Although he is not named, in fact Saint Laurent has become the real king of the earth, the only and supreme monarch of Farnes.His name is revered as sacred by people on earth, and some people even believe that Roland's name itself is sacred, and just reciting his name devoutly is enough to save people from suffering and misfortune.

Roland's holy order does not require any herald to send a message, nor does it need to post a notice—even if Roland is in Frankfurt, his voice is enough to spread throughout the earth.His voice has long been known by everyone, and people have formed the habit of bowing and praying in the direction of Frankfurt immediately after hearing Roland's holy order.

This makes it impossible for Roland's will to be distorted, and Roland's decision cannot be concealed.All orders will be implemented in various places at the first time, and people will complete any order of Roland spontaneously without supervision.

— they regard it as an honor.

Correspondingly, more than one-third of the heretics on the Ring of Ashes converted because of Roland's great miracle, and another one-third were accused by the Death Crows in the original Kalal purge operation. killed.Those who are still sticking to their position today are, without exception, followers whose souls have been polluted by the dusk.

This is far more than the number of battles in the Battle of the White Tower, and its quality is much higher than that of the Crusade Army during the Battle of the White Tower.

The disparity in power between them was such that it was over before the war began.

"So, what are you still hoping for?"

Marco lowered his head and looked at the ashes who were kneeling and begging, with only calmness and pity in his eyes: "Are you still longing for victory?"

"We are facing two-thirds of the professionals in the entire world. If we could defeat them, we would have taken Titan and Karal long ago. Among these thousands of legions, only the gold rank powerhouses are stronger than us. All of them add up to more."

Marco nodded approvingly: "Roland is a good opponent. History has made a choice—it says that Roland is right and he deserves to win."

"...Then, are we going to die here?"

Someone tremblingly asked Marco.

"Why do you say that?"

Marco asked: "Aren't you living for the equality and progress of human beings? Now that Roland has accomplished this, there is no complaint even if he dies. At least you are on the road to progress leading to the future, not Died in a corner that no one cares about. In the future, someone will point to our tomb and say, 'They are also worthy of respect, but they went the wrong way'—”

"You mean, then, that you're going to betray the Great Higgs?"

The person who was trembling and asking the question trembled more violently.His back gradually swelled, and his voice became old and echoed: "Do you really want to betray Higg for the progress of mankind—"

Before he finished speaking, the scorching and dirty fire shot out from Marco's palm, piercing his head.The half-dissolved body of the man was instantly burnt to ashes by the dim yellow flames.

"exactly!"

Marco shouted forcefully: "Because I am Marco, Marco the Forsaken God—"

"—My will is always free! Not even Higgs can deceive me!"
