Hail the King

Chapter 839: The Giants’ Anger (Part One)

[TL Note: Hey guys, this chapter is also a lot longer than the ordinary ones, so it is also a three-parter.]

At the same time, Buckingham was also shocked by what was happening.

In fact, the masters who were knowledgeable in Gerland City were stunned by what they saw.

As a series of loud bells sounded, a vast amount of holy power rose from the Gerland Parish of the Holy Church; this power was more than tens of thousands of time stronger than the prayer energy which was a result of tens of millions of people praying together. In an instant, this vast, ocean-like energy enveloped the entire Gerland City, making the world temporary lose its glamour as only white could be seen.

As if the world was filled with the white milk, the majestic Gerland City which was more than 50 kilometers in radius instantly fell under the control of the power of the Holy Church.

Even the Royal Palace of Leon was no exception; it was completely overtaken by the holy power.

The holy power was so obvious that one didn’t need to sense to detect it carefully. In fact, even ordinary people could see that white light, and they could feel the warmth in the air when they close their eyes. The holy elements in nature were almost condensed into a liquid, repelling all other elements of nature.

In this situation, the warriors and mages who relied on the other elements in battles were greatly weakened, but the priests and holy knights of the Holy Church could unleash four to five times their combat forces.

This was unbelievable!

Although the Holy Church was the most powerful force on the continent, the strength that it demonstrated wasn’t on this level. After all, the Gerland Parish of the Holy Church was only a mid-tier branch out of all the branches that the Holy Church had on the continent. However, it suddenly revealed that it was capable of such power!

Now, with this piece of information, it would be impossible to believe that the parishes of the Holy Church in the super empires didn’t have similar if not more powerful trump cards.

If the Holy Church that proclaimed itself to be uninterested in worldly power suddenly changed its mind, tragedy would strike. If they used such terrifying setups to increase the strength of their many believers, no empire on the continent could fight back!

This terrifying discovery was able to make any empires and decision makers shiver in fear after giving it some thought.

“Where did this terrifying power come from? This is not normal!” Emperor Juninho thought to himself.

Even if tens of millions of devoted believers prayed at the same time and contributed their prayer energy without holding back, this phenomenon couldn’t even occur. Even if a priest or a holy knight who was at the peak Burning Sun Realm ignited their vital holy power, such a terrifying scene wouldn’t happen. Perhaps this would only occur if the gods that the Holy Church worshipped descended from heaven and spread their powers.

However, it was clear that no gods appeared; there was no godly suppression that would come along with the appearance of the gods.

After the short moment of shock and pause, many operations began taking place inside Gerland City at high speed. A blue magic screen appeared, blocking the abundant holy elements. Then, a lot of masters appeared from the corners of the Royal Palace, repelling the holy elements and making sure that it was completely safe inside the Royal Palace.

Then, the military of the Leon, the soldiers from the Patrol Department, the private guards of the nobles, the knights of the Ministry of Supervision, and even some mercenary groups that weren’t technically under the control of Leon Empire coordinated with each other well without having a central command, and they appeared around the Gerland Parish of the Holy Church, seeming to surround it.

Chapter 839: The Giants’ Anger (Part Two)

The ordinary citizens and the devoted believers’ prayers were interrupted, and the Royal Family instantly ordered the confused and excited citizens to go back to their homes. Then, the Capital of Leon was in immediate lockdown.

Standing beside the window of the side palace, Emperor Juninho who had lost his composure for a moment stood there in silence and pondered. He was frowning, and his breathing became very slow. In the end, his aura even disappeared, and he was in a mystical state. It seemed like his hair even froze in the air, not moving at all.

Buckingham also fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Emperor Juninho sneered and woke up from his train of thought.

“I seem to understand it now... Holy Church, is your ambition finally showing?”

-At a remote place in the Northern Region of Azeroth-

The headquarters of the Northern Regional Church was on the peak of a tall mountain that ordinary people couldn’t climb. It was surrounded by thick clouds, making it look like a godly palace that was floating in the sky. Sitting on the tall throne in the center of the palace, a mid-aged man who was talking to a few people suddenly detected something, and he turned into a dash of light and appeared on the stairs that led up to the giant gate of the palace.

This middle-aged man had a slight hunchback, and his hair was thin and grey. His eyes were bulging outward a little, and he looked a little ugly to say the least.

“What is going on? What is happening? Who is it? Who opened the forbidden seal without order and released the holy power that had been accumulating for thousands of years?”

The middle-aged man was wearing a fancy golden robe that was fluttering in the air, and he had a gold crown on his head and a gold cross in his hands. Standing in front of this godly palace, he looked in the direction of the Leon Empire with extreme anger and shock. As he stomped his feet and roared in anger, he looked like someone whose fiancée got taken away.

The powerful holy aura that he emitted subconsciously expanded outward like a tornado, and the powerful priests and holy knights who were Sun-Class Lords and had followed him out of the palace were blown away like straws. This aura alone shook the godly palace and stirred up the thick clouds in the area. As the clouds collided with each other, the friction-induced lightning flashes and thunderbolts, and it was already pouring down below. action

“Bishop Platini...”

The 30 to 40 Sun-Class priests and holy knights kneeled behind him in fear, and they didn’t know what was happening. The Bishop Platini of the Northern Regional Church was explaining the [Code of God] to them peacefully, but he was suddenly enraged; this was something that hadn’t happened in nearly 60 years.

“Pass my order! With the honor of the Godly Father, the Execution Head Herning of the Northern Heresy Execution Department needs to leave for the Parish of Leon right away. All the priests and holy knights who are above the level of red-robe including Bishop John of the Gerland Parish shall be arrested and charged with the crime of heresy. Their holy power shall be expelled, and they shall be taken back to the headquarters to be put on trial!” Bishop Platini of Northern Regional Church’s voice was as chilly as a blade.

The people who heard this order felt like they were inside a freezer.

Heresy Execution Department was infamous inside and outside of the Holy Church, and the Execution Head Herning of the Northern Heresy Execution Department was a vicious character that many people feared. Herning probably couldn’t even count how many masters inside and outside of the Holy Church he had killed.
