Game of the World Tree - Chapter 858

858. Chapter 854 Praise the Goddess!

Kairetz summoning the White Knight Frank was just a small episode.

In fact, except for some players who participated in the war, most people didn’t even know that there was an additional human mercenary group in the war mission to eliminate demons.

The power of the players is no longer what it used to be, and there are demigods sitting in charge, so… it is not difficult to advance this war mission.

After a night of rest, the army continued to march south.

The news of the elf army’s attack had already spread throughout the southern region, and the players’ battle records had already frightened the lingering demons, so they hardly encountered any decent resistance along the way.

Less than four days later, the players finally came to the last stronghold of the demons in the world of Segus – Morudo.

This is a city transformed into a fortress by the demons. The original wall was only ten meters high, but it has been raised to a full forty meters by the demons.

The number of demons entrenched here is more than 50,000, and they are all powerful guys.

This is also normal. Those who are not strong have already become the players’ contributions and experience points in the repeated pursuits. Those who can escape here are not weak.

Of course, no matter how strong they are, they are still not enough compared to the player legion with high morale and more than 200,000 participants. After

several years of fighting, the players have accumulated enough experience. This demon city, which was judged to be impregnable by the imperial army, was conquered by the players in less than half a month.

Among them, the demigod Kairetz even just killed a demon monarch with legendary strength.

Fifty thousand demons were surrounded and annihilated, seventeen abyss nests were destroyed, and the scepter flag belonging to the Church of Life was also planted on the city wall.

And the statue of Eve was also welcomed into the temporary temple by the accompanying elf priests after the war.

Inside the temple, the demigod Kairetz knelt in front of the statue and prayed devoutly.

Behind him, there were also a group of elf priests.

For so many days, Kairetz did not take action, waiting for today.

His divine power has more important things to do.

He faced the statue, drew a symbol of the scepter of life on his chest, and prayed devoutly:

“Praise nature, praise life, praise the great world tree – Eve Yuktrasil!”

“Supreme Mother Goddess! May you descend upon me with great power to purify this filthy world…”

Kairetz looked pious and solemn.

As he prayed, golden light bloomed on his body, which soon resonated with the statue.

At the same time, in the entire southern region, in all the cities captured by the players, and in the temples, the statues of Eve began to shine. Then

, a series of brilliant beams of light shot up into the sky.

On the sky, the rolling clouds were torn apart in an instant. It was the power of the abyss that gathered in the sky.

At this moment, they seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force and began to dissipate rapidly and purify…

The beams of light continued to flicker, and above the sky, white clouds gradually replaced the black clouds, and the cotton-like clouds continued to condense and gradually became thicker.

A rumbling sound came from the clouds, and the wind blew violently. The next moment, raindrops began to fall from the sky.

The fresh air unique to rainy days blew in, dispelling the stench left by the demons on the earth.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a little light in the rain…

The light seems to have the power of purification. When this rain falls on the ground, a strange scene appears.

The land that was originally polluted by the abyss began to fade rapidly…

The cracked earth slowly closed, the diffuse black fog gradually dissipated, and the withered plants regained vitality.

A little green reappeared on the ground, grass sprouts grew, flowers bloomed, withered trees trembled slightly in the rain, and new buds gradually grew between the branches.

Soon, the hellish scene of the entire southern territory was replaced by a vibrant vitality…

On the ground, the creatures who had been hiding came out from their hiding places.

They looked at the rain falling from the sky, cheering excitedly, shouting, and dancing.

Some of the intelligent creatures that had hidden themselves either kissed the earth excitedly, or looked up, closed their eyes, and felt the comfort of the rain with its purifying power, or stared blankly at the renewed vitality of the earth and cried bitterly…

The entire Southern Territory was in a carnival at this moment.

The rain fell for two hours before it slowly stopped.

When the wind stopped and the rain stopped, the once dark earth had completely disappeared. Instead

, there was a world full of vitality and greenery.

Above the sky, the deep black clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the azure sky, and golden rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the dark earth…

The ethereal, sacred and illusory hymns slowly played, and golden and green photons flew out from the beams of light, like fluttering feathers, or like snowflakes…

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be bathed in light.

It was not until a moment later that the photons slowly dissipated, and the dazzling beams of light gradually disappeared.

The majestic power and vast breath gradually faded away, and only the vibrant earth and the sky as pure as a mirror and as blue as the sea told what kind of miracle this world had just ushered in.

Colorful rainbow light appeared on the sky, it was a rainbow after the rain.

The entire southern territory was rejuvenated.

Looking at this beautiful world, praises rang out one after another…

The creatures who escaped the demon invasion crawled on the ground and worshiped in the northwest direction.

That was the direction of the Elf Forest.

That was the direction of the World Tree.

They knew who this miracle came from.

Frank also stared at the sky blankly, his heart was shaken.

His original idea was shaken a little.

But soon, he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he led everyone to leave the captured city and headed towards the southern mountains…

And in the Elf Forest, in the core area.

Eve, who had performed a miracle with the body of the World Tree, had a painful look on her face and slowly gathered her divine power.

The World Tree needed a miracle to declare its power and strengthen its majestic image.

What He chose was to use divine power to forcibly purify the land polluted by demons.

Although the consumption was a bit exaggerated, Eve felt that it was worth it when she saw a new group of lights of faith suddenly emerge from the sky of the Kingdom of God.

So far, the southern region has been legitimately and smoothly brought under His control.

…

The war in the southern region, the purification of the goddess of life, these news soon spread to every corner of Segos with the activities of the bards and caravans.

For a time, the reputation of the elves and Eve reached a new peak again.

The players who traveled on the continent were delighted and surprised to find that, for a time, more and more people seemed to be interested in the Church of Life, and the difficulty of preaching seemed to be getting lower and lower.

On the other hand, everyone happily discovered that the initial favorability of the new NPC of the Church of Life… seemed to be getting higher and higher.

Even when traveling on the continent and staying in hotels or taverns, they were often invited to drink by mercenaries and adventurers, and even discounted by merchants…

It can be said that with the confirmation of the identity of the goddess as the world tree, with the players’ adventures of punishing evil and promoting good again and again, with the elf army defeating the devil, and with the goddess purifying the entire southern region in one fell swoop… The reputation of the goddess and the elves is rising at a very rapid speed.

However, some people are happy, and some are unhappy.

The Holy Mannia Empire, the Eternal Holy City of Mannia.

In the Central Sanctuary of the Eternal Church, Pope Benedict II listened to the report of the Bishop of the Inquisition with a calm face.

“This is what happened, Your Holiness. The elves have eliminated the demons in the south and occupied the land in the south, and the Goddess of Life has also performed miracles to purify the entire southern region…”

“Now, the belief in our Lord in the southern region has completely collapsed, and on the contrary, the belief in the Goddess of Life has begun to spread rapidly…”

“Especially along the banks of the Vimur River, the areas adjacent to the Maple Moon Free Territory, and some territories near the southern border territory, the belief in the Church of Life has appeared…”

“Among them, in addition to some elves who preached without permission, there are some, even those civilians who believe spontaneously…”

“Your Holiness, if this continues, the foundation of our Lord’s belief in the world of Segos may be seriously shaken!”

The black-robed bishop of the Inquisition had a serious face.

After hearing his words, the kind-looking Pope Benedict II also narrowed his eyes slightly.

The tips of his fingers that were tightly gripping the Pope’s scepter turned white, and it was obvious that he was exerting force, and his deep eyes became even more profound…

“How is the recruitment and training of the Judgment Knights going?”

He suddenly asked.

The black-robed bishop replied respectfully:

“Your Majesty, it’s almost done. The Judgment Knights can now go into battle at any time!”

“Almost…how much is it short?”

The Pope looked deeply at the black-robed bishop.

Being looked at like this by a legendary strongman who could perform the demigod-level divine descent, the black-robed bishop couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingling, even though he had already touched the threshold of legend.

He took a deep breath and said,

“Although we are still a little short of it, we have been able to form four Judgment Legions with an average strength of the gold rank.”

“And if we have time, we can form more such legions…”

“But… as you expected, because of the forced infusion of divine power, they have lost the possibility of further progress. Not only that, because of the damage to their bodies, the lifespan of these Judgment Knights will not exceed five years.”

“But, I think it is enough for the war of faith.”

“In addition, the imperial nobles can also provide considerable troops. The believers of life hate the nobles, and the nobles also hate these pagans…”

“Your Majesty, I think it is time to take action.”

The black-robed bishop was respectful.

After hearing his words, Benedict II slowly knocked on the armrest of the Holy Throne and pondered:

“Then let’s start the final preparations…”

“But before that, clean up the little bugs in each diocese.”

…

East of Maple Moon Free Territory, Northern Iris Territory.

This is one of the southern territories of the Holy Mania Empire, sandwiched between Maple Moon Free Territory, Southern Mountains, Southern Border Territory, and the Kingdom of Iris.

When the Abyss invaded, the eastern and northern regions of this territory also completely fell, and the entire territory was divided into two.

Only nearly two-thirds of the southwest region survived, relying on the terrain of the southern mountains and the support of the Kingdom of Isris.

Of course, this is also because during the invasion of the Abyss, the Abyss Legion opened up the passage to the Maple Moon Free Territory and stopped attacking the south.

When the demons invaded, several imperial cities near the southern mountains also became one of the main areas for refugees to flee.

At this moment, in Larona, the largest city in the Northern Isris Territory.

A human priest wearing a holy white robe and holding the “Holy Book of Life” is preaching devoutly.

Around him, all kinds of listeners gathered, including the city’s poor, hunters and farmers, craftsmen, mercenaries and adventurers…

Each of them looked pious and listened to the priest’s teachings.

The priest was none other than Old John who left Zeroland.

At this moment, the brilliance on him was even more holy, and behind him, there was a large number of followers.

There were ordinary people, professionals, poor people, and merchants who had abandoned everything.

They looked at Old John in front of them with admiration, holding the scepter symbol in their hands tightly, with pious eyes.

Old John, with the symbol of the scepter of life painted on his chest, spoke passionately to the people who came to listen to his sermon:

“The empire has decayed, the nobles have fallen, and the Eternal Church has lost itself in its own glory…”

“This is a dark age, but it is also an age of dawn, and the great world tree, the great goddess of life, Her Majesty Eve, is the light of dawn…”

“He is the light in the darkness, He is the embodiment of justice and kindness. In His world, life is supreme and all things are equal.”

“Believe in Him and recite His name silently. Only in this way can we find the light in this dark age, only in this way can we be reborn…”

“Look! It was the great Her Majesty Eve who destroyed the demons and purified the filth. It was the great Her Majesty Eve who protected the Maple Moon Free Territory and made this magical dreamland a pure land…”

“Everyone, the old era is about to pass, and the new era is about to come. Believe in life and nature, and believe in the great goddess Eve!”

“Your Majesty, the kind and kind goddess, will surely guide us to find new light and new hope!”

“Let us pray together and silently chant the name of the goddess!”

“Praise nature, praise life, praise the great world tree – Eve Yggdrasil!”

Old John praised passionately.

“Praise nature, praise life, praise the great world tree – Eve Yggdrasil!”

The believers who listened also had a fanatical look on their faces, excited and sincere.

Woohoo… Please give me a monthly ticket
