Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 421: Intimidation

Early Monday morning, the sun shone brightly, just like Father Miro's mood at the moment. Colorful flags were hung everywhere in Storm City, and the flyers of Grace Cathedral were like fireworks floating all over the streets of the city. This day was definitely a special day for Storm City.

People walked out of their homes, dressed neatly, and gathered in front of the cathedral of grace to be built from the temple.

The cathedral was magnificent and dignified, with its towering steeple, white pillars, stained glass curtain walls, and various exquisite relief sculptures appearing on the arch walls, all of which created a divine and solemn atmosphere. In front of the arch of the church, Father Miro, dressed in white ceremonial robes and with a serious expression, supported the scripture that had just been drawn up and said to the people below, "Today, I am very happy to tell you a piece of good news." The cathedral will officially open to the public from this moment onwards, meaning that the Lord's grace will be blessed by this lucky city. Yes, this is a city blessed by God's grace. My brothers and sisters, you should still remember that not long ago, our city was under siege. At that moment, I felt the same despair from the bottom of my heart as all of you. "

"However, at that time, only our Holy Maiden's expression did not change. She said to me, 'The Lord of heaven will not give up this city because we have always praised his holy name.'" Miro raised his voice a few times and said, "So I got back on my feet, and it turned out that the villains were expelled and we were reborn!"

Father Miro closed his eyes and heard the cheers as expected. A few months ago, he began to preach in Sur City and obtained the first batch of believers by some small means. Even though there were only a few believers at that time, he then played Vera's card and used her ability to peek into the future. After a few accurate predictions, the number of priests' followers suddenly increased.

Even though there were all sorts of beliefs in every corner of the Bailey Empire. However, these beliefs, as well as the gods they represented behind them, were all images and legends created by people. Even though it had been used by some people in history, they had created so-called miracles several times. However, up until now, some sects had already withered, while others were still struggling to support themselves, but they had gradually declined.

At this time, the priest appeared with the teachings of Christ and displayed miracles one after another, immediately capturing the hearts of the people. After all, a god who displayed miracles through his followers was much easier to harvest people's beliefs than a god who only had legends but had no practical actions.

Things about Christ, the Holy Maiden Vera, and many other miracles quietly spread to Storm City. Adding on Edward's masterminding and incitement, Father Miro had successfully harvested a group of believers after arriving at Storm City. Today, all the believers were gathered here, giving the priests the feeling of being crowned pope.

After enjoying the tidal wave, Father Miro opened his eyes reluctantly and made a hand gesture to calm the crowd. "Now, let's invite our Holy Maiden to make a new prophecy for the cathedral," he said.

Vera's prophecy had been confirmed many times, and it was firmly believed that God had seen the future through her eyes. Therefore, Vera's status in the hearts of the people was much higher than Father Miro's. This was no wonder. After all, the former was the spokesperson of the gods, while the latter was the servant of the gods. Whoever was more important was naturally clear at a glance.

Today, the young girl dressed in a pure white holy robe truly had a somewhat sacred aura. Especially Vera's black hair and black pupils, she always gave off a feeling of transcendence. Adding on the young girl's ethereal temperament, the crowd cheered once more as soon as Vera appeared.

Vera stood in front of the church arch and slowly raised her head. His eyes were like black jade covered with a layer of water vapor as he slowly swept across the crowd below. The crowd quieted down where her gaze swept past. Some even knelt on the ground and bowed to Vera. "The Father who walks in heaven is the only True God in the world. Hearing his name will give you peace, forgiveness, and sickness. Praise him, love him, and when you return to the dust, angels will lead you to his kingdom."

"The Lord says that there are those in this city who love Him, and that God's grace will be here forever, for the gospel."

Vera raised her hands, and the choir behind her, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately began to sing hymns loudly. After the cathedral, fireballs and azure light suddenly rose up. They collided in midair and exploded, releasing colorful fireworks that slowly descended.

Father Miro rushed forward and said, "This is a sacred baptism. This will be the birthplace of the gospel. Praise be to you, Almighty Lord!"

Immediately, the atmosphere of the ceremony reached a climax.

After the choir ended, Ellen and Edward personally pushed open the door to God's Grace Cathedral, marking the perfect end to today's ceremony. The crowd was able to enter the church and receive a gift from the church at the entrance. Gifts were just ordinary biscuits or bread, but such an inconspicuous gift was enough to instil the image of the Church into thousands of families.

Christianity has been spreading on Earth for thousands of years, and there has long been an inherent pattern of how to harvest people's hearts. Father Miro only took one or two of them, but he was already completely useless. The biggest characteristic of this sect is its openness. Christianity does not require the status of its people, from the emperor to the beggar on the street corner. As long as you are willing to convert, the Church will accept it.

This alone determined how large the audience of this sect was, far above the other Sacred Temple sects.

After Allen and Edward, two important figures, expressed their conversion to the church in front of everyone, other officials, officers, and commoners expressed their willingness to join the church. So this morning, Father Miro was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of water, but the priest's face was always brimming with a bright smile. josei

Haggers watched the ceremony from the sidelines. From what Allen had done, there was no doubt that the Church had been established on his own initiative. Haggers couldn't understand this. Although it wasn't unusual for the upper echelons to control their territories through faith, Allen's actions had clearly raised the status of the Church. This will have an irresistible impact on his management in the future. As long as the lord had some common sense, he would not allow the Church's influence to be above him.

So he didn't understand why Alan did it.

However, these weren't the main points. The main point was the fireball and light that shot into the sky before the ceremony ended. Naturally, it wasn't the so-called sacred baptism that Father Miro had mentioned. The fireballs and light came from an army that Allen had set up behind the church, and Hagrid's attendants told him very clearly that the firearms used by the army were not the usual firing/shooting. Most importantly, the fireball that came out of the firearm was a fireball that was converted from Origin Energy, or a bullet that was highly condensed from Origin Energy.

Regardless of whether it was fireballs or Origin Energy bullets, Higgs could estimate their power slightly, and the result surprised him greatly. If Alan used this army to fire at his elite Black Cloud Knights, the Black Cloud Knights would be engulfed by Alan's fire before they could reach the enemy's front.

When the peace agreement was last signed, Haggers had never seen this unit. Alan had only just revealed them now, but in fact, it had a shocking effect. How could Hagrid not know that Allen's actions were undoubtedly a warning? He warned Blackiron Fort not to do anything that violated the agreement. After many inquiries, Haggers firmly remembered a name in his heart.

Inch Fire!

This was the name of the unit, in Haggers' heart. This name was quietly higher than the king of the mountains and the dark blade.
