Episode 276: The Great Revelation of a Thousand Years
Jiiiing-
A huge golden tower.
The tower with the unknown hieroglyphs on it trembled violently.
With a strong resonance, a sanctuary rooted in divinity unfolds, concentrating warm and cozy divine power.
Shoot ah-
Dazzling white light.
He soon became a huge pillar and soared into the sky.
The blue sky seemed to respond as the clouds opened and the sky expanded.
The light that poured into the sanctuary with enormous divine power created a strong barrier and rejected evil beings.
Meanwhile, the priests of the Great Seongjeon were astonished when they sensed something unusual.
“Hey, this!!”
This has never happened before in 300 years of history.
The sanctuary reacted and trembled violently.
The cardinal-level priests who sensed this strange incident were also startled and quickly walked towards the golden tower.
Jiiiing-
The sound rang like crazy, pouring out endless divine power.
The fact that a barrier has been placed over a wide area means that it is a warning of danger.
The cardinals who serve each god in the basilica quickly discussed and responded to the current situation.
“It’s urgent! Over millions of undead have invaded Wall Piet! And I think we’ll get to Wall Rosé soon!”
“What do you mean!? Suddenly, millions of undead!?”
Millions of undead.
Undead on such an absurd scale?
Could it be that another demon lord has descended?
‘no way… … . ‘Etelos?’
Unless you are the devil, there is only one place.
A place known only as a legend, and each religious denomination has been chasing it for hundreds of years, but no trace has been found.
If Etelos had moved directly, even absurd stories could be possible.
“All high priests and priests, use sacred magic to form a barrier!”
“You must never let them enter the sanctuary! “Defend thoroughly with several layers of barriers!”
“And inform the Wall and each country about this and request military support and the dispatch of seekers!”
Daeseongjeon took action, shedding a cold sweat.
Meanwhile, many holy soldiers and paladins were being massacred in Wall Piet at that time.
“Kwaaaak!”
“Knock, gag-”
It wasn’t even a match.
I had no choice but to do nothing, like a prey in front of a predator.
Over 10 million undead poured down like a huge wave, destroying everything in front of them.
The high walls collapsed in vain from the undead attacks, and the holy knights were unable to resist and fell to the ground like toys.
“Uh, uh… … . monster… … .”
One paladin took a step back in fear.
However, there was no hope for him.
I met death in less than a few steps.
Another paladin was frustrated with the current situation and prayed earnestly to God.
Did his prayers reach God?
Pure white light fell and dwelled in the paladin’s body.
The paladin was thrilled by the boiling divine power and confidently aimed his sword at the undead.
“In the name of God, I… … .”
My head exploded.
I received the power of a god, but it was nothing.
The high walls were reduced to dust, and countless people living in Wall Piet became prey to the undead.
Tsuzzzzzzzzzz… … .
A sacred barrier was created on the surface of Wall Rose.
Etelius, who saw the numerous barriers piled up thickly on the outside of the sanctuary, slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
“It’s clumsy. Foolish God. “Do you think your power will reach this body that was made sacred in the human world?”
Then he smiled and raised his index finger.
A huge darkness gathered at the tips of my fingers and swirled.
And in an instant, it shot out like crazy, breaking through all the layers of barriers and reaching the God’s barrier spread out in the sanctuary.
I don’t know what to do –
An intense clash of forces occurred.
However, Etelius’ power broke through the sanctuary’s barrier and reduced Wall Rose to ashes.
Over the past 300 years, the Great Crusade has created a huge power due to the cause of ‘sanctuary’ and all denominations joining forces.
However, from Etelius’s perspective, such a great crusade was no different from a child’s war game.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Big, loud-”
Screams and screams were rampant.
The Sanctuary, which had absorbed divine power, quickly repaired the broken barrier.
However, Etelius was not the one to watch him quietly.
The sanctuary, which had been restored with a simple wave of the hand, was stopped and nothing could be done.
“M-stop it! “Keep the dead at bay!”
Wall Rose was breached, and hundreds of thousands of holy soldiers and large numbers of paladins poured out from Wall Maria.
In order to somehow restore the sanctuary and re-establish the barrier.
At their judgment, Etelius chuckled and clapped both hands.
A short applause rang out, and a faint wave passed through countless soldiers.
Bububububbung-
Kwazijic-
It was 1 second.
In just one second, hundreds of thousands of troops exploded simultaneously.
The cardinal froze when he saw that.
“What is this… … .”
It was the devil.
The only monster like this is the devil.
What kind of cruel reality is this?
The Great Crusade is a huge force, with millions of holy soldiers and numerous paladins.
However, that is only when all the troops scattered across the temples of each kingdom are gathered together.
At the moment, the troops of the Great Seongjeon itself were not very large.
It was the moment when the cardinal faced reality with eyes of disbelief.
The space split apart and his head fell off.
“You insignificant humans. This is the God in whom you believe and rely. “No matter how much we pray, we can’t even protect the sanctuary?”
Etelius shook his head and walked away.
In an instant, the walls of Wall Maria were shattered and countless lives were slaughtered.
Etelos looked at the Holy Palace, the core of the Great Crusade.
Etelius smiled as he looked at the golden ‘Pile of Penitence’ rising high into the sky in the very center of the palace.
“Now, it is time to pull out the stake and unlock the power sealed within.”
Etelius raised his hand.
Numerous magic circles spread out in the air, and darkness engulfed the space.
The divine power concentrated in the sanctuary fiercely fought against the darkness.
However, Etelius raised the divinity he had accumulated in the human world and overwhelmed the divinity of the gods of the heavenly world.
Boom, boom, boom… … .
A huge earthquake occurred.
The golden tower soaring high into the sky was being forcibly pulled down by the hands of Etelius.
And, through the gaping gap, evil energy surged like crazy.
The dimension was distorted, the balance was distorted, space folded, the earth split, and the earth and sky turned over.
Due to a momentary dimensional distortion, the sanctuary where the Great Sanctuary was located was transformed into a space of nothingness.
“Now, this is the beginning of the thousand-year plan.”
* * *
The Royal Palace of Belkart.
Henry Belcarte had a headache at the mess the current situation had become.
Due to the absence of the noble faction, the military is severely lacking.
Moreover, the absence of the 4th Corps, 6th Corps, and 7th Corps made the empty space feel even bigger.
“Damn… … .”
I shouldn’t have held his hand.
Trying to catch the tiger ended up burning down the whole house.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Henry Belcarte suddenly burst into laughter.
I can’t believe that a country that suddenly disappeared like this is in ruins.
It collapsed in an instant due to its greed for royal power.
Just as he was blaming himself, a voice came from outside the palace.
“majesty! “The Marquis of Carlin is here.”
“I’ll listen.”
The door opened.
Henry welcomed the Marquis of Carlin and asked about the circumstances of his return.
“Welcome. “Okay, how’s the situation?”
“… … .”
“Well, it might be a bad idea to ask.”
They are forcibly blocking the enemy’s offensive.
However, that doesn’t mean the situation is good.
Compared to the invading countries, which are well-supplied with reinforcements, Belkart’s forces are limited, so he has no choice but to be passive in battle.
In addition, with national power already on the decline, nobles became passive in supporting troops for their own survival.
In order to somehow fill up the army, a nationwide mobilization order is being issued and men are being forcibly conscripted, but public sentiment is being shattered because of this.
What can a powerless king rely on if he loses the people’s support?
The enemy’s forces are not limited to the first invasion force.
The enemy’s main force, which has reorganized its army, will soon attack.
Before that, the civil war must be ended somehow and the large army of the noble faction must join.
‘No matter how hard it is, it’s too much.’
Henry Belcarte did not think Yukiel would win.
However, I was sure that even if I lost, it would be a huge shock to the noble faction.
In fact, his utility value was enough, and that was exactly what he wanted.
“your majesty! Don’t worry. “The war begins now!”
“… … .”
“Soon, soldiers conscripted from all over the country will complete training and be sent to the battlefield! Then you will be able to survive!”
“I guess so. But don’t you know that too? “Public sentiment is hitting rock bottom.”
A king who loses the support of the people is dangerous.
This is because we never know when and where a rebellion will break out in this name.
Given the current situation, the probability of that happening was low, but it was equally unsettling.
Just as he was sighing and holding his pounding head, the door to the royal palace opened and someone rushed in.
“Your Majesty! “It’s coming quickly!”
“What happened?”
“I heard that all the troops of the noble faction have been annihilated!”
Henry Belcarte was startled and stood up from his throne.
How many troops did the noble faction gather and were wiped out?
“What do you mean!? “Total annihilation!”
“They say we were defeated in an all-out war against Count Agnes and lost all of our troops!”
Henry Belcarte’s blood pressure suddenly rose and he grabbed the back of his neck.
“Your Majesty!”
The Marquis of Carlin hurriedly ran to help Henry.
Henry barely opened his mouth, pressing down on his blood vessels that felt like they were about to burst.
“Agnes, what happened to Count Agnes!?”
“Ah, it is said that Count Agnes led over a million undead and marched to stop the invasion of the Kingdom of Elbion!”
“Pears, a million? “What did you mean by that!?”
A million?
Didn’t they say it was 250,000 when they went on a campaign?
However, compared to the annihilation of the millions of armies of the noble faction, how many times did his troops jump?
“Well, you summoned a dragon while trying to catch a tiger!”
A million undead.
The noble faction was annihilated with 250,000 undead.
Then, now that we have reached 1 million, we will be able to at least prevent an invasion by an enemy country.
However, the important thing is what happens after that.
While public sentiment toward the royal family is at rock bottom, public sentiment toward him will soar.
If he has other thoughts, Belkart cannot be stopped.
He is so reckless that he slaughters a minister in his royal palace.
Would such a person care about justification or respect?
“What should I do with this?” … .”
I can’t be hostile towards him now.
In that case, it would be like inciting a rebellion.
Didn’t you watch them slaughter all the enemies without any regard?
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t just sit back and watch.
If things continued like this, not only would the royal power be weakened incomparably compared to when the aristocratic faction was in power, but it was obvious that the kingdom would be influenced by his every word.
“Marquis, do you think it might be a good idea?”
“your majesty! “You must not turn them into enemies!”
“Isn’t that obvious!”
“This is why you command us to conquer the Kingdom of Elbion!”
“What… … .”
“I must order a conquest, show off my royal authority to all the people, and let the world know that his actions for the kingdom are your Majesty’s intentions!”
“… … .”
“It would be even better if he dies conquering Elbion, and even if he does destroy Elbion, hand over the kingdom of Elbion, including Dongbuk-myeon, to him and recognize him as the king, and request military support to prevent the invasion of the Yata Kingdom and the Peres Kingdom. “That is the most realistic solution in the current situation!”
Henry Belcarte fell into deep thought after hearing Marquis Carlin’s words.
Clearly, the risk factor is too great to keep him in Belcarte.
It would be better to offer him reasonable compensation first and then send him away.
If he is that satisfied, it is not a big loss for Belkart.
In any case, the noble faction has disappeared, and the menacing faction has also been driven out of Elbion.
“Hurry, hurry, write an official document and give it to him!”
Before he got greedy for Belcarte, he had to turn his eyes away.
So that his greed can be directed elsewhere.
