Chapter 1926 The Knights of St. John
The city of the Holy Lord is now surrounded by dark clouds.
The former enemies of the Holy Lord seemed to have reached an agreement. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the twin goddesses coming to take revenge, they all mobilized an army to surround the city of the Holy Lord.
Viewed from a satellite high above.
You can clearly see the sky of the City of the Holy Lord. Only the central area still has normal white clouds, and the surrounding areas are either rolling blood clouds or dark clouds as thick as ink.
This kind of vision occurred even if no notification was received from the City of the Holy Lord.
All major forces also know that something big is going on!
I just don’t know how big this crisis will be?
I guess the Apocalypse is still there, and there are demons from the void who are eyeing the Aqua Blue Star... Everyone should have a bottom line, and there won't be much trouble, right?
"Almighty Lord, Almighty Holy Spirit, please hear our prayer!"
In the church in the City of the Holy Lord, countless priests and nuns gathered together to hold a large mass.
The sacred breath blooms from this.
But it's still not enough.
The cardinal frowned. As an archbishop approved by the God-Killing Spear, he could vaguely communicate with the Gate of Heaven.
He knew that the gate to heaven had not appeared yet.
It's because the twin goddesses took action.
Freya, the goddess of light, blocks the connection between the divine realm and the mortal world with light.
The Dark Goddess Yulia hides the spatial coordinates of the City of the Holy Lord.
This makes it impossible for the archangels to come by force in a short period of time.
Although, the holy Holy Lord Cathedral is guaranteed to be foolproof because it houses the God-killing Spear.
But even if it was just the fall of the outer city, it would be a lifelong stain on the Red Archbishop and the others.
For this reason, the Cardinal thought for a while, picked up the satellite phone, and informed his old friend in the church next to him.
"Pray, followers of the Peacock Angel."
"Hehehe, praise the Holy Lord, praise the Peacock Angel!"
Several black-robed bishops in the nearby church all smiled after receiving the call.
As a major branch of the Holy Bishops, they have always been excluded by the mainstream because of their different understanding of the Peacock Angel.
Even though it has been proven later that the angels at the Gate of Heaven do not care whether mortals have different understandings of doctrines. For them, as long as they believe in the Holy Lord and believe that angels are the Holy Lord’s human spokespersons and one of the noble Holy Spirits. , that’s fine.
The bishops of the City of the Holy Lord care very much.
After all, the Peacock Angel traces its past and is actually related to their old enemy, the Holy Orthodox Church.
The Caesars of Eastern Rome throughout the ages supported the Peacock Angel to combat the orthodox influence of the Holy Lord.
Moreover, the Peacock Angel is also a mythological denial of the foundation of faith in the City of the Holy Lord.
In the past, this would have been enough to form an endless feud.
Because in the mythology of believers, the Peacock Angel is the head of the Seraphim, the Holy Spirit closest to the Holy Lord.
Even the son of the Holy Lord who saved the world must pay homage to him.
This is different from what is recorded in the classics of the City of Holy Lord.
Those who do not worship the Son of the Holy Lord are Lucifer, the fallen archangel who fell into hell!
However, this seems to be a reference to the Peacock Angel plot of Lucifer's character, but it has changed the classic plot of City of the Holy Lord.
When the Holy Lord asked him to pay homage to the Son of the Holy Lord, the Peacock Angel said, I cannot abide by this decision, because I was born in the glory of the Holy Lord and am a symbol of light. How can I pay homage to a human being turned into dust?
Even if this person is the nominal savior, the son of the Holy Lord.
Then, the Holy Lord, who was contradicted by the Peacock Angel, did not punish Him. Instead, he made him the leader of all angels and gave him the responsibility of guiding and managing mankind on his behalf...
People with a discerning eye will find such records more and more frightening when they think about it.
This peacock angel...isn't he really a filial son among angels?
This is obviously a new version of Lucifer's victory in the struggle, right?
Considering that the main area of belief in the Peacock Angel was when polytheism was flourishing, it was Lucifer, the God of Light, who believed in the Star of Enlightenment!
Hmm... Nowadays, when the extraordinary saint appears, it is really scary to think about it.
However, Heaven’s Gate didn’t object.
It shows that the inside story is more complicated than imagined. Maybe the Peacock Angel went to hell and became the boss of hell, and then came back to heaven and became the boss?
Prayers in praise of the Peacock Angel also sounded from the church.
People in the parish can feel that the light in the entire Holy Lord City seems to be a little brighter.
The undead army that surrounded the City of the Holy Lord and the cold chill brought by the werewolves were also dissipated a lot.
"Roar!"
Seeing this, the Werewolf King pulled out the war hammer on his back and let out a howl.
Behind it, more and more dark giant wolves crawled out from the depths of the ground.
Moreover, there are many jet black giant wolves that are three to four meters long with weird metal organs appearing on their bodies.
An evil aura surrounds the surface of these giant wolves.
So that outsiders can tell at a glance that these giant wolves are not good things!
And these giant wolves are not indeed good things. They are actually low-level cannon fodder among the Martian aliens. They were put on a layer of camouflage and used as backgrounds.
The filthy aura they instinctively release is a good proof that they were born in the dark camp.
There is no need for Xiao Yu to engage in special witchcraft for special effects.
"Blood for blood!"
"For Caesar!"
"Ula!"
The werewolf cavalry led the charge, and thousands of giant wolves behind them joined in.
The momentum was so great that it reminded people of the heavy cavalry charge in the magic world.
But this time, it was replaced by giant wolves that were even larger than the heavy cavalry.
And the speed was no less than most vehicles on the highway.
"Amen!"
When the werewolves launched the charge.
In the Holy Lord City, the cardinal knelt in front of the Holy Cross.
The phantom of the Spear of God Killing appeared behind him.
Suddenly, an Amen resounded throughout the city.
Then in the outer city, suddenly a golden wall at least 20 meters high rose from the ground, surrounding the entire Holy Lord City.
On the wall, golden light fell one by one, turning into knights wearing the armor of the Knights of St. John.
"In the name of the Spear of God Killing, the holy war will never end, and we will never retreat!"
Each of these knights can be seen as extraordinary, and the extraordinary aura on their bodies is dazzling.
And it seems to have been blessed on the wall. Not only can it move instantly, but when it is attacked, a wall-shaped shield will appear to help resist damage.
The Knights, who numbered about 200 people, relied on the wall to block the attack of the werewolves.
The werewolves who attacked the wall defense line like a tide were all blocked outside in a short time.
Human Union, European Branch.
A group of people stared at the outer wall that suddenly appeared in the Holy Lord City and the Knights who descended on the wall to resist the werewolves.
Someone whispered uncertainly:
"Those emblems are the Knights of St. John, right?"
"It must be right. I paid the membership fee last year and became their honorary knight..."
An expert pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and confirmed it with certainty.
The words of this expert attracted the attention of some people, but most people did not pay special attention to this expert.
For the upper circles of Europe.
Joining the Knights of St. John and becoming an honorary knight is actually a very normal thing.
Because this knight order has been living since the Middle Ages, and even from time to time, people can still see their active figures in some international news.
After all, the Knights of St. John, also known as the Knights of Malta, is also the Knights of the Hospital.
It is the only one left among the three major knight orders in the Middle Ages.
And this is also thanks to their different policies and geographical locations.
Unlike the Knights Templar, who lent money everywhere and made the King of France owe a lot of debts.
Then the debtors suddenly realized that they would not have to pay back the money if they killed the creditors, so they united to kill them.
After realizing that lending money was too dangerous.
After repeated consideration, the Knights of St. John established the first nursing home operating in the Middle Ages in Europe.
The service objects are mainly nobles and knights.
After all, in that era, people were worthless, and nobles were also worthless. Maybe when they were old, they would be killed by their sons or nephews who were not sure whether they were their own.
It is really difficult to die of old age.
So the Knights of St. John saw a business opportunity and began to sell their honor knight quota.
If you want to have someone to rely on when you grow old and someone to bury you after you die, just buy a place for a knight of honor. The Knights of St. John will guarantee to provide for your old age, or help you collect your body.
In addition, it is at least one of the three major knights personally appointed by the Pope of the Holy Lord City.
After becoming a knight of honor, you can avoid being excommunicated by ordinary regional bishops.
This is a great blessing for many small and medium-sized nobles or knights.
Therefore, the Knights of St. John have been developing well from the Middle Ages to the present, and have a good reputation.
Even now.
Some places for knights of honor are still sold to the upper class every year.
However, perhaps the Knights of St. John have been too secular since their development.
The mystery is not as high as the Knights Templar who were destroyed by the debtors.
Even if they are extraordinary and holy.
The Knights of St. John immediately jumped out to clarify that they are really not extraordinary.
Everyone believed it.
Now it seems... hehe.
Sure enough, these believers and organizations, every one of them is willing to tell the truth, and they are all hiding.
Is it necessary?
The members who bought the quota of the Glory Knights would not ask to recognize their ancestors and become extraordinary...
At most, they would hold a cocktail party from that day and tell all their friends that I am actually a member of the Knights of St. John...
The Grand Master of the Knights of St. John.
At this time, he was watching the live broadcast in the modern villa specially built for the station.
He was also very concerned about the Holy Lord City. Two days ago, he sent the priests of the Knights to the Holy Lord City with the nuns for support.
The Grand Master was ready to lead the team to the disaster relief as soon as the extraordinary war was over.
As a result, the Grand Master saw the live broadcast of the Knights of St. John descending on the city wall to fight the werewolves.
The Grand Master sprayed out all the strawberry juice he had just drunk.
Then he said with trembling lips:
"Which brigade do these Knights of St. John belong to?"
"Why don't I know that there are extraordinary knights in my knights!"
As the grand leader murmured to himself, the wooden door of the villa was pushed open, but a group of senior knights in suits and leather shoes, who were accustomed to running nursing homes and hospitals, rushed in. Each one of them excitedly performed the ancient etiquette to the grand leader. :
"Captain! For the sake of us, we have served the Knights loyally for most of our lives!"
"Tell us the truth about the Knights!"
"Captain! I...I also want to become a real Knight of St. John!"
The Grand Master of the Knights of St. John was looking blankly at a group of colleagues who seemed to be extracting confessions.
His mind was dizzy, his body felt cold, and his hands and feet were numb.
After a while, the grand leader spread his hands and said:
"Everyone, please calm down. I was also elected by you."
"What you think you don't know...will I know?"
"What's so mysterious about our Knights of St. John?"
Just as the grand leader finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
In full view of everyone, the grand leader sighed and pressed the speakerphone.
The caller was the highly respected red archbishop of the City of the Holy Lord.
Once connected, the Cardinal expressed his gratitude to the Knights of St. John:
"Dear Commander Dara, on behalf of the City of the Holy Lord, I would like to thank you for your support..."
"May the God-killing Spear bless you..."
As if because time was urgent, the red archbishop hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
There was no time for Grand Leader Dara to refute.
"..."
The villa fell into silence.
Tens of seconds later.
Commander Dara smiled bitterly and spread his hands:
"The Archbishop misunderstood."
"In fact, I really didn't do this. I don't even know where the Knights of St. John came from?"
"You...you have to believe me! I guarantee this in the name of my grand leader!"
Not long after Grand Leader Dara finished speaking these words.
In the live broadcast screen.
Images emerged of the Knights of St. John suffering casualties.
The city wall also had cracks for the first time.
On the other side, after Lord Impaler summoned the undead army, he waved his hand and caused a large black army of undead to swarm towards the city wall like a tide.
Different from werewolves.
There is also an air force on Piercing Man's side.
Tens of thousands of black bats flew into the City of the Holy Lord and clashed with the exorcist priests in the city.
And as the undead approached the city wall.
Rays of light also appeared on this city wall.
After the light fell, what appeared was the Teutonic Knights who were once active in northern Europe.
The bull helmet of this order particularly attracts attention.
With the emergence of this knights.
The current Teutonic Knights, who are also active in the northern region of Europe, are different from the Knights of St. John.
They fell into inexplicable panic.
It is different from the Knights of St. John, whose heritage has been preserved and even carried forward the elderly care business.
The Teutonic Knights, who had been horribly cheated, had already gone to heaven with songs of tragedy.
The Teutonic Knights, who are now active online and developing members, consider themselves to be an orthodox and legal organization that has inherited the original Knights.
However, my family knows their own affairs.
These people were unaware of the status of the Knights of St. John.
I am extremely worried about the situation of my own knights who are not even extraordinary!
Obviously, this is the original mysterious organization of the Teutonic Knights, and their manifestation has not been recognized at all!
