The Era of Gods

This is.

The subordinates on their side bowed their heads to pray.

On the other side, his face turned pale with shock, with a shocked expression on his face. Even Gulda was stunned for a moment and then shouted:

This is impossible? How can you use extraordinary power?

Lin Xiao floated in the air, the light feathers behind him flapped slowly, and looked down at Gulda without answering, but just held up the angel's sword, arousing the divine magic attached to the angel's wings - angel incarnation.

In an instant, the infinite sacred light exploded centered on him. The dazzling sacred power made it impossible to look directly at it. Even if you close your eyes, you can feel the dazzling sun in the sky. Lin Xiao's subordinates below feel the sacred power Even more fanatical, and the morale of the subordinates on the opposite side plummeted after feeling the miraculous power, and many of them even knelt down and gave up resistance.

A few seconds later, when the white light in the sky slowly shrank inward, finally revealing a huge angel of light, with the wings of the holy angel slowly flapping, bits of light of life drifted away.

This miraculous scene had an unprecedented spiritual impact on mortals. When the angel appeared, all the men brought by Gulda lost their fighting spirit.

There is no extraordinary power to show miracles, and his believers are not high in faith. There are not even a few true believers. There are only a small number of superficial believers, most of whom are general believers. When seeing this real angel descend, almost all of them are lost. fighting spirit.

After Gulda froze for a few seconds after his face changed back and forth, he jumped up and prepared to escape.

This is of course a delusion. Lin Xiao's own strength is not inferior to him. Now he has the bonus of angel incarnation magic, and he can fly. How could he let him escape.

In fact, he didn't even do it himself, but took out a few scrolls and tore them apart one by one.

Law. Shock!

Law. Imprisonment!

The angel's sword slashed down, and Gulda, who was shocked and imprisoned, had no power to resist, was beheaded by his sword, and died extremely aggrieved.

So this seemingly fierce battle ended anticlimactically. Once Gulda died, the remaining troops were all arrested without running away, and then they were slowly subdued.

Although most of them are militias, there are also seventy to eighty knights plus cavalry plus professional soldiers, which is a very strong combat force.

Half a month later, Alfonso captured the castle of the Viscount Macedonian family and announced the death of the Macedonian family.

Not long after annexing a viscount family, Alfonso met the envoy of Earl Dyson and severely reprimanded him, ordering him to give up the land of the Macedonian family to other members of the Macedonian family.

For Alfonso, this is a big trouble, and if it is not handled well, it may attract the intervention of Earl Dyson.

But at this time Lin Xiao has no time to deal with this matter, he is now thinking about how to face the Holy Church.

How could it be possible to hide such a big movement from the angel incarnation? As soon as the war ended, no less than ten spies from the Holy Church came around the village of Fore.

It is impossible to hide the truth, and it is impossible to back down, so there is only one result, he will start to face the behemoth of the Holy Church head-on.

Of course, he is definitely not afraid of the competition of beliefs. With extraordinary power in hand, the Holy Church, which has not had miracles for decades, is definitely inferior to him in this respect. As long as he is given time, it will not take long to erode the belief of the Holy Church. This is what he Very confident.

But before that, he will definitely face a fierce counterattack from the Holy Church.

Having ruled the entire plane of theocracy for so many years, the family of the Holy Church is not small, and the Holy Church must have a group of elite church forces. These are carefully selected and cultivated pious fighters since childhood. The method of summoning angels just now is not good for them. To use it, you must use absolute force to defeat the opponent head-on.

The current Church of Life and Wisdom must not be able to defeat the Holy Church head-on, but what he is facing now is not the entire Holy Church, but the Holy Parish force in the area where Earl Dyson is located.

The information obtained through Alfonso showed that in the Diocese of Dyer Province where Earl Dyson was located, the Holy Church possessed the force of a holy knight order.

This force is permanently stationed in the Cathedral of Dale City, the main city of Earl Dyson, with a total number of 500. The lowest level is professional soldiers, and about 20% are elite soldiers. As for the senior commander, there are a total of more than twenty knights in this holy knight order, as well as two great knights.

This force is second only to Earl Dyson in the Diocese of Dale Province, and can easily sweep any Viscount in the province.

Of course, it is impossible for them to come out in full force, and some of them must be left behind. The Holy Church is not without enemies.

But no matter what, he must have between 60 and 80% of his troops, that is, 300 to 400 troops. When the main force of the Holy Knights comes, he may have to face more enemies. There are a large number of devout believers or nobles of the Holy Church, or some Speculative aristocratic businessmen may take the opportunity to send troops to carve up the Gibson family.

As the location of the incident, the bishop of Dell will definitely order Alfonso to send troops to coordinate the attack. Once Alfonso refuses, there is a high probability that he will be considered a heretic who believes in a false god, and he will be recruited to attack together.

This is the goal of these speculators. With the current Gibson family territory, two viscounts, or four or five baronies, or a dozen knights can be divided up. So many new nobles are born in one go, and a lot of speculators willing to take the risk.

Hmm! Looks like it's coming head-on.

With a sigh, he sent a paladin to deliver a letter to Alfonso.

Three days later, Lord Alfonso of Gibson issued a lord order, announcing the expulsion of the sacred churches in more than 30 villages in four towns in the territory, and declared that the God of Life and Wisdom was the legal church in the territory.

The three missionary groups that had been prepared for a long time were led by two paladins, each with five church knights and ten professional soldiers. Faith blank.

Then, gather all the soldiers under Alfonso's command, including more than 200 militiamen, more than 50 professional soldiers and elites, and six knights,

At any rate, they have a certain combat power, and together with the church's 50 or so professional soldiers, about 100 militiamen who have undergone certain training, and Gibson's territory, they can also gather a combat power of over 400.

Wait for all the armed forces to gather and start the combined training.

In order to boost their morale, several instructors constantly use divine power or spells to shake their hearts and increase their faith piety during training.

This is quite crucial. The opponent they are facing is a huge church that has ruled this plane for thousands of years. The holy god is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is not allowed to happen.

Fortunately, he still has a certain amount of time to prepare. The expedition is not a game. The pre-preparation alone can be counted in months, not to mention the swollen and corrupt holy church that has not been in battle for hundreds of years. I don't know how long it will take, plus the dispute over the distribution of benefits for speculators joining jihad and so on.

Anyway, Lin Xiao has been training here for a month, and the daily messages from the spies who stayed in Dell City show that the conquest knights of the Holy Church have not left the city yet.

They didn't come here for a long time, but they found information about the second descendant in Dale Province.

Located in the northernmost part of Dale Province, a barony named Hooker at the junction with Tasan Province was occupied by an unknown force. The church in the territory was destroyed, all the clergy were killed, and the lord Joron Hooker’s family was killed. death, only one illegitimate child survived and spread the news.

When the news reached Lin Xiao, he also received news from Dale City. After receiving the news, a group of speculative nobles left Dale City for Hooker.

The purpose is naturally to kill that unknown force and inherit the Hooker collar.

According to the unexplainable rules of the nobles, when all the official members of a family are killed, it means that the noble has been expelled, and illegitimate children will not be recognized.

At this time, a territory and a title of baron were freed up.

At this time, a new baron lord will definitely be born, which will naturally attract these speculators to rush over.

Gibson's leadership is still uncertain, and the other side has already vacated the title. It is clear at a glance how these speculators will choose.

What made Lin Xiao happiest was that because the unknown force directly destroyed the church and killed all the clergy, this was a far more severe provocation and a more terrifying threat to the Holy Church than Lin Xiao's side.

After all, he only expelled the clergy on his side, and directly killed the clergy on the other side. The severity was not at the same level at all.

So, he waited here for more than a month, but what he finally received was the news that the Holy Knights of the Dale Archbishop had changed their target to attack Hooker.

Happy to be happy, the preparation will not stop, and it will not stop because the Holy Church changes its goals, but continue to train and reorganize.

This time, Lin Xiao directly expanded the scale, selecting able-bodied youths from more than 30 villages in three towns in Gibson's territory, and brainwashing them while training every day, while the real body located outside the world prepared alchemy potions and equipment for them.

When their training is almost the same, and the most critical level of faith has reached the level of true believers, they will start to select the best alchemy potions for strengthening, and strengthen them in batches to produce church knights whose strength is between elite soldiers and knights.

Then select pious believers from the original elite soldiers or knights, or church knights, and promote them to the second-level paladins.

Even those who are not selected, as long as they pass the training, they will prepare a set of standard armor, which is equivalent to an elite soldier after wearing it.

Over the past few months, a total of twenty-four paladins and priests have been strengthened, plus the original six paladins, exactly thirty.

A total of 80 new church knights have been strengthened, plus the original 28 church knights, a total of 108 church knights.

After deducting these, there were more than 280 people left, all of whom were true believers after a few months. Lin Xiao was not stingy, and distributed a set of standard standard equipment forged by the Red Furnace Clan, all of whom had the combat power of elite soldiers.
