Chapter 317 The Road to God’s Prayer

In the 112th year of the Rune Calendar, the coalition forces are about to arrive in the heart of the Far East. It is a dense urban area with the capital as the center and a radius of 3 million square kilometers. It is also the most solid and final barrier in the Far East.

~~~~~~~~

On the coalition side, although they hope to seize enough wealth and supplies from the land they are about to arrive, the opposite side, under the guidance of some "patriots", has already launched a more in-depth operation to clear the country.

At this time, a large number of small towns and even large cities with no defensive value were abandoned, and the fields in the wild were either looted or burned. Not to mention a grain of grain or an animal, in fact, not even animal hair was left for the coalition forces.

Next one.

In addition, the people in the periphery were relocated, their wealth and food were also transferred, and all the war heritage was concentrated in the more than 30 war fortresses around the capital, as well as the continuous supporting defense facilities.

And it is worth mentioning that, perhaps because adversity breeds heroes, or because of other shameful reasons, the Thirteenth Division of Far East actually produced many well-deserved heroes during this period;

Some of them are master architects. Not only did they obtain more advanced fortress designs in the 'Apocalypse', they also found a kind of mixed 'soil' that had never been discovered before, and based on this, they established the Capital Region.

Those last war bastions on the periphery;

There are also weapons masters who discovered some high-quality rich veins of unknown metals in the underground rock formations that were suspected of being 'traces of meteorite clusters', and developed corresponding smelting methods, and then used them to create extremely powerful weapons.

Sharp weapons, as well as fairly solid armor and other protective equipment;

There are also city defense masters who, at this last moment, single-handedly developed more advanced city defense weapons, giving the core fortress group a powerful counterattack force in addition to the altar.

In addition, strategic and tactical masters, combat skill masters, and even speech masters and logistics masters are also constantly emerging.

The existence of these heroes not only greatly enhanced the war capabilities of the Far East, but they also relied on the special policies of the special period, and through their true and undoubted achievements, they reached middle and high positions within the ruling group, and thus gained

have considerable policy influence.

At the same time, many staunch followers of the main tribe emerged in the subordinate tribes and slave tribes. They led their tribes, actively responded to the call for war, and always fought on the front line to defend the 'motherland'.

And as a result, he won the favor of the thirteen main clans of the Far East, and was given more trust and tasks.

And in their "united efforts", the coalition forces enthusiastically broke through the false third line of defense and advanced their troops to the heart of the far east.

However, facing the ruins and charred and empty farmland in front of them, the commanders felt extremely angry;

Because there is obviously nothing left for them to plunder.

Later, the sentinel also reported the existence of the 'Core Fortress Group' and explained that it was a solid defensive array cluster filled with countless war altars, and it was by no means an easy area to break into.

In fact, at this time, the Rhine tribe's food supply was already stretched thin, and their plan to rely on food from the enemy also had some twists and turns due to everything in front of them;

What's more, misfortunes never come singly. Within the borders of the rear and along the long grain transportation routes, the previous sporadic "drizzles" have turned into events that require absolute attention due to the accumulation of time and the ongoing oppression.

;

There are more and more affiliated regiments escaping along the way. Not only are they plundering grain from the rear along the way, they are also attacking the grain depots at the transit stations along the road with the help of insiders who appear inexplicably;

After taking out all the food, weapons and protective equipment they can take away, they will destroy the camp to burn food, and flee with the grain depot guard regiment, and in this way, they will further expand their own strength in a short period of time.

Their existence and activity further eroded the frontline supplies of food, grass and even weapons, seriously dragging down the combat power of the main army.

In addition, more and more affiliated tribes within the country have abandoned their lands and fled.

However, according to the reports received by the King of the Rhine, they seemed to have escaped into dangerous places such as deep mountains and forests, and even if they could survive, there would be no worries;

But in fact, the believers of these 'gods' have been secretly communicating with each other, are preparing for the union, and are waiting for the most appropriate time.

As for the war itself, deep down in the King of the Rhine's heart he wanted to persevere, but if he continues to fight when the enemy has shrunk to this point, then it is very likely to develop into a war to destroy the country.

The ‘War of Destruction’ is likely to lead to a war of gods, and the latter has too many variables that cannot be decided by the King of the Rhine.

Unlike the mammoths who bordered on the Far East and therefore seemed to have the intention of destroying the country from the beginning, the Queen of Rhine and Tusks came here just to seek wealth and power;

As far as reality is concerned, as far as common demands are concerned, they can accept the properly weakened Far Eastern Federation, and are even willing to let them continue to exist in the form of a loose alliance. They even hope that the weakened new forces in the Far East can

After that, he took on the mission of restricting the Mammoth Kingdom from the east.

The conflict between reality and his own demands put the King of the Rhine in a dilemma. However, the matrons who accompanied the army, who were originally staunch "non-war factions", at this time, for some unknown reason, some hope of maintaining the war emerged.

who.

Therefore, when the discussions were fruitless and he himself was in a state of hesitation, the King of the Rhine decided to ask his father God for his opinion before deciding whether to proceed with the subsequent 'war of annihilation';

After all, if you insist on attacking the opponent's lair, it will be equivalent to dragging your father into a divine war that is very likely to happen.

So, it prayed devoutly at the altar in the commander-in-chief’s camp and waited for the Father God’s response;

‘Fight down’

Although the meaning contained in the concise and clear reply puzzled the King of Rhine based on his own inherent judgment of the current situation, since the Father God said so, and this is what he expected, he continued.

Keep fighting.

However, since the war will continue, more attention must be paid to supplies and the implementation of policies within the country. After all, the Rhineland cannot survive by eating air.

Therefore, more main forces of the Rhine People's Army set off from various clans in the country and moved into the vicinity of the supply routes. They would be stationed at transfer stations to assume the task of defending the garrison and attacking saboteurs.

And when the number of Rhineland species in the country was gradually decreasing due to various reasons, those lurking among ordinary citizens and senior citizens who were "in the Cao camp and in the Han" immediately began the ongoing war.

action, the affiliated tribes also faced more brutal suppression;

And at the same time, the 'true God believers' also ushered in some kind of 'opportunity'.

~~~~~~~

Let's temporarily turn back the timeline for a while, back to the time when Arndt, who was designated as the first saint by the 'Wrath of Nature', led his hesitating compatriots and embarked on an escape path without knowing what the future would be.

.

At first, some of the 'nobles' who were not willing to lose their dominant position once had the idea of ​​'making up for their past mistakes'. They planned to send their confidants to contact the nearby Rhine clan city-states and exchange information about the so-called 'true gods' for their own betterment.

For a stable life and to regain the almost permanent status of the past;

But before their actions actually began, Yuval, the former chief who was considered one of his own, unexpectedly betrayed this group of "noble people".

Yuval acted very decisively. While openly complying with the rest's plan, he secretly reported the matter to the new leader - the Saint of Nature's Wrath who had been renamed 'Saint Arndt'.

;

The latter also once again showed his qualities that were valued by the 'gods'. After receiving the secret report, he did not even hesitate at all and made a decision immediately.

In the 'secret meeting' that followed, the saints, who had received the news in advance, rushed into the venue with some of their tribesmen who trusted them, and after going on a killing spree, they held a public trial in front of all the tribesmen.

Those corpses that were still bleeding.

As a result, not only did Saint Arndt once again consolidate his prestige, but Yuval also gained the favor of the 'Wrath of Nature' and became a favored person, mastering extraordinary abilities that he had never dared to imagine.

.

During the subsequent temporary sacrifice, divine revelation once again came to the saint and pointed out the way for him to live.

"The God-given land is in the southwest! Although the road ahead is dangerous, there are also brothers of the same faith waiting for our help!"

After the saints who had received the revelation said this, they led the tribesmen who were not "doubting" but who did feel uneasy and embarked on the path indicated by divine revelation;

Sure enough, in the next ten days or so, they encountered several tribes in almost the same situation one after another, and also encountered several small and medium-sized interception battles by slave soldiers.

Among them, although the latter caused quite a few casualties to the group, it also contributed extremely necessary weapons and precious food supplies, which to a certain extent solved the urgent need;

However, the handling of the former has encountered some twists and turns.

To be honest, several tribes are by no means of the same species, and even the vast majority of the people cannot understand each other's language at all. Therefore, even if they have a common initial belief as a mesh, they will still be united due to communication, customs and other reasons.

'It went on a little hard;

Saint Arndt has little experience in ruling, so at this time he can only rely on the internal nobles who understand Rhine to act as communication intermediaries. At the expense of part of the secular power, he can barely unite the team into a group to continue.

Walked down.

But unlike the other nobles who cherished this opportunity extremely much, Yuval, who was already a recipient of divine favor, had some other thoughts at this time.

So, on a certain occasion where only the two of them still existed, he put forward his opinions to the new leader,

"We should establish a ruling system with sects as the core, and we should also have a common language, because only in this way can the people better unite under the wings of God."

Arndt accepted this suggestion and became the Patriarch under the witness of the wrath of nature. Then he established a new order with the five-level core vertical axis of the Patriarch - Patriarch - Priest - Divine Warrior - Believer.

;

The prototype of the Church of Nature's Wrath was born from this, but now, in addition to itself, the Saint Patriarch, there is only one Patriarch (Yuval), and three charismatic priests from different tribes. It can be said that

Very crude.

So they had no choice but to temporarily promote a group of 'trainee priests' and a group of 'trainee warriors' from the existing nearly 30,000 believers, using the former as a preliminary connection at the bottom, and the latter to distribute captured weapons.

Become a Guardian of the Order.

But the language problem seems to be unsolvable in the short term.

The wrath of nature is clearly stated in the divine metaphor. Even if it does have the ability to solve problems immediately, it hopes that believers can learn to overcome difficulties.

Regardless of the actual situation, God has gifted a new language and writing, and in a certain way, the core members of the church have initially mastered it;

As a result, this new language has become the church language today and the language of the entire denomination that needs to be popularized in the future.

Of course, when all this happened, the journey was still going on. During the process, the newly born sect experienced battles, rescued brothers of faith, pursuit, and despair caused by lack of food and clothing;

The most dangerous one was when they encountered an official team led by a core leader, Rhine, which included a few citizen soldiers and hundreds of slave soldiers.

Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, this nascent sect, with the vast majority of its members being just casual believers, almost fell apart under the pressure;

But that battle was also the battle where Arndt truly established his name as a 'saint', because the angel of nature's wrath came to this world for the first time using his body as a medium.

In that battle, endless vines grew on the ground around the saint's body, and they gathered together to form an angel's body nearly thirty meters high, and then killed the core Rhine and his mount in front of everyone;

Afterwards, natural magic swept across, not only soothing the hearts of the believers, but also curing their injuries. The angel who came 'borrowed the body' also spoke solemnly at this time,

"I am the wrathful and angry angel of the great nature, and I come here because of the piety of Saint Arndt!"
