Chapter 341 Eternal Fire

"This'eternal fire' patriarch is quite capable!"

Except that the response to the "bomb" in the middle was too hasty and was flawed, the other actions did not make any mistakes, and the methods were as accurate as textbooks.

He is clearly a combatist who has experienced many battles in the New World, not a "civilian" priest who only holds baptisms, weddings, and funerals for believers.

In fact, for the navies of the mainland countries, unless conditions really do not allow them, they will generally deploy master-class (second-order transcendents) clergy on main battleships above Tier 3, and the huge battleships are their churches.

Even some ocean-going battleships or merchant ships, even if they do not reach the battleship level, will send ordinary priests equivalent to the apprentice level.

The benefits are many.

These clergymen generally assume the responsibilities of sticking to the faith, expelling evil spirits, holding funerals, and guest doctors, and even provide necessary magical support at critical moments.

Because of the great role of clergy, when countries explored the new world to establish colonies in the early days.

Among the top three buildings to be built, there are churches of their respective gods, and even the smallest villages must have a stone altar.

And the clergy of the "eternal fire" church is obviously because of the power of the gods, even in the church of the seven gods, they are the small group with the most outstanding fighting ability.

As a member of the Falettis Navy who is determined to fight for maritime supremacy, Ivan has certainly done a lot of homework on his opponents and imaginary enemies.

The key question: Where is the "eternal fire" sacred?

Is He a never-extinguishing flame, a symbol of human continuity, a way forward in the dark, or God's promise to believers for a better future? The eternal fire is the hope of all mankind!

His followers must answer this way.

In the church's propaganda, the image of this **** is an eternal flame.

At each sacrificial ceremony, the believers will carefully carve themselves, and throw the wood chips engraved with the holy words and their pious beliefs into the burning brazier.

The faith and worship of believers are His eternal fuel.

Although "Eternal Fire" is the state religion of Hilius, in fact there are many countries that believe in, and it has a broad parish and a wider influence in the entire south of the old continent.

Moreover, it is well known that although the true relationship between the two gods is unclear, the "Eternal Fire" church has always regarded the "Breaking Dawn" church of the Sark Empire, which has partially overlapping priesthoods, as its mortal enemy.

The domineering style can hardly tolerate people of different ideas and beliefs, and the style of behavior is sometimes even more extreme than that of the “Dawn Dawn” church, which is faintly ranked first in overall strength in the mainland.

It is said that all kinds of "heretics", such as heretics, monsters, witches, cutting-edge scholars, burned to death on the stake by them are more than all the Orthodox churches combined.

However, the overbearing Hilius and the more overbearing church may not necessarily result in one plus one greater than two.

Even if Ivan has heard about it, with the continuous growth of Sirius' maritime authority, contemporary Philip II already has the idea of ​​turning the "emperor's dream" of successive generations of kings into reality.

But there is a little irreconcilable contradiction!

All the crowns of the Old World came from the Holy Lothar Empire (the so-called Sark Empire was just because it happened to occupy the capital of the original empire and was a self-styled emperor, no country recognized his emperor title), and the orthodox of the Holy Lothar Empire Sex comes from Tyrantius, the original god.

This is the only great existence on the mainland that has ever been known as the "Creator", "World Creator", "King of Kings", and "God of All Gods".

Although everyone knows that he is not a personality god, he has never had his own temple or priest, and he only lives in the original beliefs of the Holy Lothar Empire.

But even a symbolic rule **** is still intolerable among the fanatics of the "eternal fire" church.

They did not oppose the pursuit of secular power, and they also gained many benefits with the expansion of Hillius.

But if Philip II won the title of emperor and the Kingdom of Hilius was promoted to the sacred Hilius Empire, where would this empire take the "eternal fire"?

Because the "sacred" does not mean... "eternal fire"!

This may not be a big deal for some enlightened churches, but for the "eternal fire" churches, which have become more radical in all these years, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

This is the key to the dispute between kingship and theocracy!

Although Hilius's internal situation is like, Ivan doesn't know as well as Ilya who is also with Tulips, but even if he only thinks about it, he doesn't necessarily have the harmony seen by outsiders.

However, no matter whether there are conflicts within them, it will not prevent Aiwen from making the judgment that the "eternal fire" sacrifice is a difficult enemy.

His hero, my enemy!

Excellent clergy is not a reason for Irving's mercy.

Taking advantage of the panic in the fleet, the two Tier 4 ships have arrived behind them in a battle line formation.

"They are immune to fire, and the searing bombs are not very effective. They just put solid bombs on me to speed up the rate of fire and blow their ass!"

"Yes! All artillery groups are ready to load solid bullets! Fire!"

The extraordinary aura on the command knife spread out simultaneously.

[The art of artillery! 】

boom! boom! boom! boom! ....

Under the cover of the fog, the third-tier ship "Sternberg" was focused on fire.

The **** that survived the explosion of the alchemy bomb was completely torn apart by several 24-pound artillery shells fired in sequence at the moment when the two battleship side guns passed by.

Two shells even rushed directly into the lower artillery deck, jumping and destroying the carriages of several heavy artillery.

Rumbling--

The iron artillery weighing several tons continued to roll on the artillery deck along with the bumps of the hull, easily crushing the many artillery soldiers preparing for battle here into flesh.

"Ah! Save me!"

"my leg..."

"..."

The miserable howling and the cry for help became one piece.

In addition to the two cruisers that have almost completely lost their combat effectiveness, the last intact Tier 5 ship also suffered serious damage because of its role as the frigate of the "Sternberg".

"The gunner! Fight back!"

Captain Stanley's face turned blue when he heard the movement from the lower deck. Although he could not see the enemy, he was still calm and decisively organized a tentative counterattack.

At least let the offensive team throw a rat avoidance device to try to interrupt the rhythm of their attack.

The artillery on the battleship within the firing range, Wen Ling began to fire in the direction pointed by Master Edmund's finger.

boom! boom! ...

but.

The fire control officers in charge of the various decks cannot see the target, and even knowing which direction the attack is coming from is of little use. Because the distance cannot be determined, the firing angle cannot be determined.

The possibility of a shell hitting the sea is far more likely than falling on a warship.

As the elite combat priest of "Eternal Fire", Edmond is powerful but not omnipotent.

It can neither replace the fire control officer to adjust the artillery, nor can it share its extraordinary vision with others.

But at this time, we are in the same boat, and there is no such thing as a sea battle.

He gritted his teeth hard.

He took off a radiant fire ruby ​​hanging from his neck and slammed it into the brazier under his feet.

Bang!

[Divine Art, Gems Sacrifice, Flame Beast! 】

The transparent ruby, which seemed to be valuable, seemed to be vaporized, and disappeared into the bright yellow flames in a blink of an eye.

next moment.

Ow----

The volcanic eruption-like flame flow suddenly flew out of the brazier and turned into a huge red monster. The long beak is full of sharp triangular teeth, and the wings formed by the alienation of the skin stretch out more than 12 meters.

That seems to be a burning... huge pterodactyl!

call!

The pterodactyl engulfed infinite flames, and flew a lap over the "Stellenbosch". Before the next round of shells arrived, the flames between the chest and abdomen became brighter, and the sky raised an angry roar.

The huge red halo spreads far out with its body as the center.

Within this range, the fog summoned by the "fog silver lamp", which is no different from the natural water mist, is of course swept away.

The sunlight poured down again, forming a perfect circle with a radius of one kilometer.

At the same time, it also revealed that the actual distance from the "Stellenbosch" was only 300 meters. At this time, it was about to turn and go back to the two battleships that beat the bottom of the third-class ship.

Because of the steering angle, at this time, most of the hull of the ship was exposed to the firing range of the "Stardenburg" artillery.

Ang roar——

Apart from anything else, under Edmund's control, the Flame Pterodactyl had already culled toward the two battleships.

"Damn mouse, I lost a flawless top-grade ruby. I want your lives to pay for it! All the filth will be thoroughly purified in the flame!"

Chat...

twitter--

Several "Black Feather Frigates" and "Great Albatross" who wanted to prevent the flame "strange bird" from attacking were easily defeated and turned into raging fireballs and plunged into the sea.

Puff! Puff! ...

This is the first time that Ivan’s air force has been crushed in terms of air supremacy after it became an army, and the total number of large seabirds is only double-digit.

Distressedly let them quickly dodge and stop loss~lightnovelpub.net~ Seeing that they have rushed frantically towards the "Storm Horn", as if vowing to turn this battleship into the flame pterodactyl of the Red Lotus Hell, Ivan Station Stay still in place.

The priest of "Eternal Fire" has a shield. Doesn't he, an official wizard, have a shield?

The iron-black "oak fruit" tied on his chest was violently pulled down, and a curse sounded like a mountain echo in his mouth:

obic——

[Official Witchcraft·World Barrier! 】

The green light blooms, and a spiritual wind that is warm like a spring breeze is called.

Although the name of witchcraft is magnificent, it is in fact the same series as the "Witcher Shield" of various schools.

It's just that the name "World Barrier" originates from the "tree stump of life" that separates things in the middle of the mainland, and has received the invisible blessing of the mysterious source of the school!
