BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1227 - Judgment
In the bloody light and miserable shrieks on the wall of the inner castle, a tall red glove released a brilliant battle qi.
That red glove carried the biggest and heaviest metal book among all the red gloves. The brilliant battle qi formed a bloody protective battle qi over that red glove. After shattering the captain of the guards of Renard Clan by hammer, the red glove rushed out of the team from the back and came to the front of the gate of the inner castle. Closely after that, he roared while a battle qi in shape of a huge battle hammer flew out of his battle hammer and struck onto the gate of the inner castle irresistibly.
The gate of the inner castle was broken in a split second. At the same time, a lot of guards of Renard Clan lay down behind the gate while being inserted with sawdust and iron scurfs all over their bodies.
After breaking the gate of the inner castle, the red glove immediately raised his battle hammer and rushed into the gate through the big hole on it. In the blink of an eye, some guards who rushed towards him had been split into pieces.
The other red gloves also poured in from the broken gate. As a result, the inner castle was occupied by red gloves at once.
The inner castle of Pineneedles Castle was then filled with the cries of many women and kids at the same time.
“LV 15 battle spirit? Is this man Dark Saint Sebastian?”
Hags the clan head of sea bear tribe and Bishop Maxim slowly walked into the inner castle while being escorted by a lot of sea soul fighters of Sea Bear Tribe. At this moment, the ground of the inner castle had been covered with blood. The one who asked was Hags. The moment the two people entered the inner castle, they had seen how the red glove destroyed the defense of the inner castle in the north. Watching such a fierce, intrepid scene, even the clan head of the sea bear tribe quivered his eyebrows out of shock.
“Yes, this man is the head of Order Jury, Dark Saint Sebastian!” Bishop Maxim said calmly as he casually strode over a corpse of a guard whose upper body had been smashed like striding over a quagmire or a pile of lifeless sands without even changing his expression at all. Bishop Maxim let out a long sigh before saying, “Who could imagine that the dark giant of the former Order Jury of Norman Empire in Waii Subcontinent could find his spiritual destination and belief after exiling to Ice and Snow Wilderness. This is God’s will!”
“God’s will?”
“This is what Sebastian told me. He said that the Eternal Book injected a new soul into his soulless body and the immortal water in the immortal vase purified his bloody hands.”
“With such a battle spirit on the back, unless knights, nobody across Arkray Island could threaten Arkray Island anymore!” Hags the clan head of sea bear tribe said casually; however, when he heard the miserable shrieks in the far, his heart pounded unconsciously.
‘Previously, as the clan head of sea bear tribe, I was an influential figure in both Ewentra Archipelago Waters and Ice and Snow Wilderness. However, now, this youngest Bishop on my side has already ruled the entire Ewentra Archipelago parish and is on the equal footing with me in Ancient God Church although being not a knight. Additionally, that Dark Saint who’s making a massacre in the far will promote to a knight sooner or later. They are new forces inside Ancient God Church outside bear tribes. In the future, with the further expansion of Ancient God Church, there would be more and more ambitious and mighty people like Maxim and Sebastian in Ancient God Church. When the first knight, the second knight even the first cardinal bishop appeared among these new forces, would the bear tribes over Ice and Snow Wilderness have the same position inside Ancient God Church? Would I and sea bear tribe still be that important in the eyes of that man?’
Ancient God Church’s sphere of influence would never be limited to Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago Waters forever. Actually, since Ancient God Church rooted in Sacred Iceland Kingdom a few years ago, over 90% of the population across Sacred Iceland Kingdom had become the followers of Ancient God Church. These followers included sailors, businessmen, fighters, craftsmen etc.. Those sailors and businessmen who believed in Ancient God Church spread over due to the marine trade between Sacred Iceland Kingdom, the surrounding subcontinents and Western Continent. These followers would always carry Eternal Book wherever they were. When they came to those countries and religions which had a great tolerance for religions, they would spread the doctrine and legends of God’s manifestations of Ancient God Church over there.
Eternal Book was magical. The God’s manifestations that had been witnessed by tens of thousands of people were more shocking; especially in the holy war, when more and more people who were vacant about the future and started to look for their home of soul and a peaceful and tranquil life, everything about Ancient God Church became as brilliant as a torch in the dark, which could attract more and more people to charge at it desperately.
3 years ago, Hadela Glacier Crack in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness had become the holy land when the first batch of people came there for pilgrimage from the Western Continent. From then on, more and more people came to Hadela Glacier Crack for pilgrimage from other countries on other continents and subcontinents. Over the past two years, due to the increasing number of pilgrims from Eschyle City to Hadela Glacier Crack, a golden commercial corridor had been established on this line. The cardinal elders’ committee of Saint Petersburg was considering building a railway for pilgrimage from Eschyle City to Hadela Glacier.
In this situation, the position of Gray Palace was growing increasingly higher. Those holy vats on the square of the Grey Palace which could be worshiped and touched by people regardless of the weather in the past could only be touched by people who had passed the Grey Palace Practice on specific days now. As for the holy vases, they became the top treasure of the Ancient God Church...
Last year, some businessmen of Sacred Iceland Island had invested in building two palaces of Ancient God Church in Weese Commerce Business Alliance on the Western Continent and a harbor in Tanguang Subcontinent. The Grey Palace had already officially assigned a powerful halos bishop to each of the two palaces, who would be responsible for preaching and imparting the doctrine of Ancient God Church in the two places.
The transmission speed of religion and belief couldn’t be measured in usual ways. What could match the transmission mode of religion was multi-level marketing in commerce. A powerful multi-level marketing organization could cover tens of millions of people in a few months. Nobody could imagine how would Ancient God Church’s seeds in those subcontinents and on the Western Continent grow in a few years or 10 while being driven by those halos bishops who dreamed for being the 2nd even the 3rd Bishop Maxim.
Although Sacred Iceland Kingdom was limited in land and territory, the power of religion and belief was limitless and borderless.
Sacred Light Empire’s expedition might not only be for avenging and occupying Sacred Iceland Kingdom, but it was also related to religion. Sacred Light Empire had already sensed the threat that Ancient God Church posed to Sacred Light Empire.
Bishop Maxim didn’t know that the clan head of sea bear tribe and Hags, who were on the equal footing with him in Ancient God Church, could recall the current situation facing Ancient God Church and have a strong sense of crisis and urgency inside after hearing his words.
Hags had even predicted that Ancient God Church as a whole would welcome its heyday in a few years if Sacred Iceland Kingdom and Ancient God Church could tide over the coming catastrophe caused by Sacred Light Empire.
‘Unless sea bear tribe and I become more and more important and irreplaceable in that man’s eyes, sea bear tribe and I would finally be trivial in the entire system of Ancient God Church.’
In this world, all the abilities were replaceable, except for loyalty!
Watching the solemn longuette on Bishop Maxim which represented the identity of an archbishop, clan head Hags of sea bear tribe suddenly regretted that he didn’t put on his longuette as an archbishop at this moment.
Like all the other clan heads of bear tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness, Hags only wore his longuette which indicated his identity of an archbishop when in Saint Petersburg or Grey Palace. As for these clan heads, if they admitted and advocated their identities in Ancient God Church in their own tribes, it was equal to strengthening the authority of Saint Petersburg and Grey Palace in their own tribes. These clan heads who had been accustomed to be the boss of their own clan couldn’t adapt to it in a short period.
When Bishop Maxim and Hags, who were worried about something, entered the inner castle of Pineneedles Castle, they saw Dark Saint Sebastian fighting another LV 15 battle spirit.
Their sphere of range of their combat was very large. No red gloves or guards of Renard Clan dared approach them within 100 m.
The red gloves’ strike was stagnated here for the time being.
“Who’s that man?” Hags asked while narrowing his eyes.
That man who was fighting Sebastian had fully pale beard and hair in a loose robe which indicated that he might be in secluded cultivation when the battle started. However, that man’s nose, chin and deep eye sockets were similar to Connar.
“This guy should be the former clan head of Renard Clan, also Connar’s grandfather!” Maxim said slowly after looking at that person for a short while.
“No wonder Renard Clan dare rise in rebellion; it turns out that this old guy has already promoted to a battle spirit. If he continues to cultivate, he might be the first knight of Renard Clan in 10-20 years!” Hags shook his head, “Pitifully, this man’s battle strength is a bit weaker than that of Dark Saint. If there’s enough time, the battle would come to an end in a few hours...”
“The earlier the battle ends up, the less chaotic would Arkray Island be!” Maxim said while looking at Hags, “There’re Renard Clan’s members in the garrison of Arkray Island. If the garrison saw this situation, they might rise in rebellion!”
“My sea soul fighters wouldn’t let the garrison of Arkray Island leave their camp. The battle here would come to an end soon!”
As Hags said, he flew towards the two people as fast as a lightning bolt...
It was a siege and slaughter; instead of a contest in the ring. After Hags joined the battle for 30 seconds, the former clan head of Renard Clan roared in grief and indignation before being punched into blood foam by Hags.
It was worth mentioning that Sebastian didn’t withdraw from the battle in the entire process; instead, he attacked the former clan head of Renard Clan together with Hags. It seemed that nothing was more important than killing the opponent at the fastest speed in the eyes of this Dark Saint...
The red gloves finally entered the core region of Renard Clan.
...
The garrison in Arkray Island included 4,000 people. The encampment of the garrison was less than 6 miles away from Pineneedles Castle. When the flames in Pineneedles Castle shot into the sky, emergency clarino had drifted in the encampment of the garrison. In less than 5 minutes, when the garrison was ready to rush out of their encampment, they found that their encampment had been blocked by people.
It was 2,000 sea soul fighters of sea bear tribe who blocked the garrison.
Sea soul fighters were the elites of the sea bear tribe. Each sea soul fighter was at least LV 6 and had to grasp the skill of going berserk and the secret methods to control mutated sharks in the ocean. Being equal to the amphibious assault troop of sea bear tribe, sea soul fighters were the trump cards of sea bear tribe. Sea bear tribe could only get over 2,000 sea soul fighters. Besides a small part of them staying in the base of sea bear tribe, almost all the sea soul fighters had sallied forth in full strength in order to fight the expeditionary corps of Sacred Light Empire in the periphery of Ewentra Archipelago.
“At the order of the Cardinal Elders Committee in Saint Petersburg, sea bear tribe assist Bishop Maxim to wipe out rebels in Arkray Island. The garrison in Arkray Island couldn’t leave your camp today!” General Shirokov of sea bear tribe said at the gate of the encampment of the garrison as he watched those officials in the garrison icily.
All the officials of the garrison changed their faces at the same time. Many officials turned their eyes onto the chief official of the garrison.
That chief officer who was being gazed looked gloomy. After looking at the flames in Pineneedles Castle, he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly all of a sudden, “Don’t believe him. The garrison of Arkray island only follows the order of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament. Our duty is to protect Arkray Island from being violated by enemies...”
“This is the order of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament. They order you to stay in the encampment tonight...” Shirokov explained as he presented a prerogative order to the officials of the garrison of Arkray Island.
“Don’t believe him, it’s counterfeit...” That chief officer raised his head and shouted once again...
“Tsuang...” with a sound, Shirokov flashed towards that chief officer after drawing his sword blade out of his sheath. The officer felt something wrong as he hurriedly drew out his saber to resist him. In a split second, the sharp longsword broke the chief officer’s saber like cutting off a club. When the chief officer widely opened his eyes, the saber had already slid over his neck, sending his head flying away while his blood spurted onto the face of Shirokov.
The brave man of sea bear tribe raised his longsword while widely opening his eyes out of fury. At the same time, he wiped out the blood over his face and roared towards the garrison, which shocked the entire encampment, “This sword was gifted by His Majesty in the parlor of the imperial palace of Saint Petersburg. His Majesty promised me to enter the imperial palace with this sword from then on. Who else wants to try my sword and die for those rebels?”
As Shirokov roared, all the 2,000 sea soul fighters released various battle qi totems, which was at least LV 6 black spider.
Watching this scene, none of the 4,000 people of the garrison dared move anymore.
...
“Renard Clan is over; many people are over!” Brightman the clan head of Wilis Clan said in a strange, quivering voice on the top of the wall of Wilis Clan’s castle in Arkray Island although being escorted by so many clan warriors as he put down his telescope and watched the flames over 12 miles away, “It’s red gloves...”
After hearing the words “red gloves”, all the people on Brightman’s side felt a chill on their spine; many people quivered unconsciously.
“Clan head, do we need to...” The steward suggested intensely on his side.
“No need!” Brightman’s elegant face looked a bit pale; however, he recovered a bit composure, “If Bishop Maxim and those red gloves are targeting at us, it’s useless for us to escape now. If even I could escape, what about the other members of Wilis Clan? The Act on the Mobilisation of the Duel in the conference hall was the last chance for Renard Clan to go ashore; however, Connar didn’t catch that chance...”
“Clan head, red...red gloves...”
Soon after Brightman’s words, a clan guard on his side had quivered all over for a second as he pointed at a walnut grove over 200 m away. A man in mask, cloak and red gloves walked out of the walnut grove with a metal book as thick as a door on his back as he watched those people on the top of the wall quietly.
That red glove just stood there and watched them quietly.
Under the quiet gaze of that red glove, all the members of Wilis Clan felt standing in the chilly wind in the nude on the top of the wall.
...
The gate of the Hall of Deliberation of Renard Clan was shattered. At the sight of those red gloves, Bishop Maxim and Hags behind those red gloves, Connnar and the other quivering parliamentary members in the Hall of deliberation had been scared too much that they even suffered from gatism 1 ...
In front of absolute strength and whittle, any plot and conspiracy would become weak and ridiculous.
“Bi...Bishop Maxim, I...I’m just...” A parliament member stammered.
Connar revealed a pale smile as he asked, “Can...can you let those kids and women in the castle go?”
“As you’ve profaned the mercy and tolerance of His Majesty, what happened today was just a punishment to those blasphemers instead of being a slaughter. All the servants, maids and non-pregnant women who don’t share the bloodline with Renard Clan could survive...” Bishop Maxim explained before he wove his hand forcefully...
...
That red glove gazed at the castle of Wilis Clan overnight. Although none of the people across Wilis Clan’s castle fell down, everybody became flurried overnight.
Not until the sun rose in the next morning did the red glove return to the walnut grove like a shadow who disliked sunshine. At the same time, many people on the top of the wall of the castle of Wilis Clan collapsed to the ground...
