Chapter 1384: Fanatical Believer
The black-robed man's eyes were dull, unable to accept the situation.
— Did I lose?
The Qing Gang Yin energy in his body gradually dissipated, and after the intense pain stopped raging in his body, he regained consciousness.
The first thing he did was to look at Su Xiao first, and then look at the woman nearby.
The man in black is Spike, he is a member of the" Divine Court " of the Sun Kingdom, and he was a bishop.
The Divine Court of the Sun Kingdom was actually a military department of the state, it was inherently wounded by the alliance army.
When a kingdom went to war with an external enemy, the theocracy became superior to the royal authority. In peacetime, the royal power was above the theocracy. These two forces were in a mutually parasitic relationship. During the war, the royal power parasitized the theocracy, and when the war stopped, the theocracy parasitized the royal power.
The theocracy was responsible for training, commanding, and managing the army, while the royal authority was responsible for finances, the lives of ordinary people, and other aspects. As long as these two forces accepted each other, the kingdom flourished, but if one side tried to swallow the other, everything in the kingdom started to go in one place.
Two hundred years ago, the Divine Court decided to destroy the royal family and seize all power. Half a month after the internal squabbles started, the alliance army was able to break through the kingdom's borders and get close to the kingdom's capital.
Back then, the alliance army had seen the flag flying over the kingdom's capital.
At the cost of the lives of almost 700,000 soldiers, the kingdom was able to repel the attack and bring the alliance forces back to the borders, but the alliance was able to take a huge amount of resources with it.
Because of this painful lesson, the theocracy and royalty became brothers who loved each other more than anything else in the world.
The defeat of the kingdom at that time was inevitable. The soldiers tried to push back the enemy, but they lost their supplies. How could they not lose? If it wasn't for the huge power and accumulated wealth of the kingdom, it would have ceased to exist then.
A total of six ranks could be distinguished in the Divine Court:
Xiuxi and Great Xiuxi, this rank was roughly equal to lieutenant.
Bishop and Bishop of Dawn, these titles were roughly equal to Captain Major.
Above the bishops were the "Great Messenger of God" and the "Ordinary Messenger of God", they were roughly equal to a colonel-general. Above them was the "True Messenger of the Great God", only 1 person could have such a title and he was the supreme commander of the Divine Court. Although he was often no stronger than an ordinary person, he always had an incredible mind and was undoubtedly the main opponent of the alliance president.
Relations in the royal family were very complicated. It is worth mentioning that Skein, the warden of Gakbak Prison, took a princess from the kingdom as his wife.
The princess was captured by the alliance during the war. When the king of the kingdom found out about this, he was so angry that he almost died due to the pressure.
This was a very serious question. The son that Skane and the princess eventually had was technically part of the royal branch of the Sun Kingdom. The Sun Kingdom placed great importance on origin, so even if Skane was captured alive on the battlefield, they wouldn't be able to execute him or use him as a bargaining chip.
Instead, he should be "imprisoned", where he will be required to provide good food and water..
Despite everything, Skane was, after all, the son-in-law of the royal family. Whether the royal family wanted to admit it or not, the fact remained. If they choose not to recognize it, their entire centuries-old structure will crumble.
Skane's move was so clever that it went beyond common sense. The Alliance didn't care who he married. After all, he had some achievements, and besides, he was the one who was able to steal the princess.
In the end, she turned out to be not only a beautiful wife, but also a life-saving card that will save Skane at a critical moment, if of course he does not die on a chaotic battlefield..
The Spike that Su Xiao captured alive was a bishop of the Divine Court, which was equivalent to catching a major.
As a bishop, although Spike didn't have outstanding leadership skills, he did have some strength. Su Xiao was only able to defeat him in less than a minute because his Dragon Flash was too sharp. From the very beginning, Spike had firmly believed that the Dragon Flash wouldn't be able to break his "divine defense", however, after missing two strikes, he said goodbye to his arrogance and two hands.
His skills, honed over dozens of years, disappeared along with his hands.
As soon as he lost his hands, he immediately used his trump card, but Su Xiao, noticing this, immediately teleported behind him and kicked his tailbone.
If he had taken this battle seriously from the start, there was a 30 percent chance that he could have defeated Su Xiao, however, he underestimated Su Xiao's sword and decided to block his attacks with his hands. He wanted to see with his own eyes what tricks his opponent could pull.
Today, at the cost of his life, he was able to understand that no opponent could be underestimated.
*Drip-drip, drip-drip...*
Transparent drops of water fell to the floor. He began to cry, not out of pain, but out of bitterness. For so many years, he trained hard, but all the work was crossed out in just a minute.
Su Xiao looked at Spike in surprise. He really didn't expect such a strong guy to start crying.
— Kill me, " Spike said, and looked directly at Su Xiao. He was sobbing, but there wasn't a shred of fear in his eyes. In his teary eyes, there was only a burning desire to flay Su Xiao's skin.
[
Notice: You were affected by the "Tears of a Believer" effect».
The Soul blade has been activated, and the negative effect of the Believer's Tears has been removed.
— … — A folding knife appeared in Su Xiao's hand.
*Pouf~*
Spike's eyes couldn't see anything, but no, he wasn't blind.
— Spike suddenly burst out laughing, and it sounded like a madman's laugh.
— Su Xiao finally realized that this bishop wasn't normal. Most likely, he was just an ordinary fanatic, and not a particular God, but rather a fanatic of the kingdom itself.
There were two types of people in the world that were the most difficult to deal with: the first was those who weren't afraid of death, and the second was mad believers. Spike obviously belonged to the latter type.
— God told me that there is light, and the Divine Court gave that light. I was standing in the Divine Judgment Temple to warn the world... " Spike started to mumble, clearly not intending to negotiate with Su Xiao.
— Spike suddenly yelled, then continued to mutter.
Su Xiao had a headache. One of his targets was a mad fanatic, and the other was a spy.
He would rather torture a spy than try to get information from a fanatic.
----
Half an hour later, a truck pulled up in front of the house. The back of the truck was completely covered with a cloth awning.
The dark green cloth looked very thick.
Several men in different clothes jumped out of the truck, entered the house and after a while took out two long cloth bags from the house.
*Boom!*
The truck's passenger door closed tightly, and the truck quickly drove away, emitting black exhaust fumes.
