How could the defenders of just over 2,000 defend the four large gaps, not to mention the attacking side that was almost entirely knights. In the words of some people, all senior soldiers fought against new recruits, which was outrageous.
Lin Xiao watched the battle from the rear, and most of the time he was paying attention to the changes in the cathedral in the city, but only occasionally paid attention to the battlefield.
The absolute strength crushed the battlefield, and there was nothing to see at all. He did not use any powerful divine arts to assist, but the holy warriors who accompanied the army occasionally used small divine arts such as healing to assist.
The battle at the four gaps lasted only a little more than half an hour at the shortest, and no more than two hours at the longest. All the defenders in the city collapsed, and only the knight defenders of the Holy Church lasted a little longer. The
subsequent street fighting took only a little longer. In fact, when a unit led by the holy warrior Manda attacked the city lord's mansion, Earl Dyson's subordinates had already fled with the earl's family.
Yes, it was Earl Dyson's family, because Earl Dyson had died in the previous battle.
To be precise, when bombarding the city gate tower, Earl Dyson was hit on the head by a flying boulder, and half of his head was gone. He died on the spot, which was beyond Lin Xiao's expectation.
There are five great knights in the province of Dale, but Earl Dyson is not one of them. He is just an ordinary knight, but he has the status of an earl. After
Earl Dyson's death, the morale of the defenders plummeted, which led to the almost overwhelming advancement.
According to Alfonso's order, the troops immediately captured other corners of the city, leaving only one to guard the door of the cathedral. After all the resistance in the city was wiped out, the main force gathered in the cathedral, and Lin Xiao came to the front of the Holy Cathedral under the protection of more than a dozen holy warriors.
Looking up at the gorgeous cathedral, the thick metal gate, and the large number of ordinary believers guarding the door, Lin Xiao waved his hand and ordered an attack.
These are all devout believers and fanatics of the Holy Church. It is very difficult to convert them, and their thoughts are firm. Simple words cannot make them leave, so they can only be killed. He will not be indecisive and soft-hearted.
Ordinary believers certainly could not resist the soldiers who were at least knights, and a massacre opened the way to the cathedral.
Alfonso stepped forward with a huge sword, muttering something in his mouth, and cast several auxiliary divine arts on himself in one breath. The whole person was shrouded in white light and turned into a light man, and raised the sword and slashed fiercely.
Many believers, clergy, and civilians around the Holy Church trembled in their hearts. With a loud bang, Alfonso cut open the thick door of Dell Cathedral with a sword, revealing the huge church hall.
Many devout believers gathered in the hall. The wealthy businessmen or nobles in the city, as well as the clergy of the Holy Church, all looked at the knights who came in with fear.
The church knights wearing exquisite armor surrounded Lin Xiao and stepped into the cathedral. As soon as he entered, he keenly noticed something. His eyes fell on the statue of God at the end of the cathedral that exuded a faint glow, and a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.
"What a strong power of faith!"
After thousands of years of accumulation, the power of faith contained in this accumulated power is probably tens of thousands of points of divine power.
The Holy Church occupies the absolute belief dominance of this plane. There are dozens of kingdoms and empires of different sizes in the entire plane. Each kingdom has at least a dozen provinces, and at most dozens of provinces. The total accumulated power is probably tens of millions of divine powers. What an exaggerated number?
So much divine power is enough to instantly give birth to the Holy God and reach the limit of the limit after the spiritual energy is revived. It will not be difficult to force the deification in the future. It is
unknown what caused the plane will to awaken. Lin Xiao speculated whether it was because of his own reasons that a large amount of extraordinary power that did not belong to this world was brought through the magic cube of good fortune to stimulate the plane will?
Normally, how could it be so coincidental that the plane will began to awaken soon after they landed. This is too ridiculous.
But no matter what the reason is, it has happened. This is a great opportunity, and he needs to seize this opportunity.
After conquering the Dale City Cathedral, the infinite power of faith accumulated by this cathedral will all belong to Lin Xiao.
After dispersing all the clergy, he directly used the magic cube of good fortune to take away the statue of the Holy God, and used the magic cube of good fortune to strip off the power of faith contained in it, and at the same time took out another statue and put it back on to replace the statue of the Holy God.
Then, he announced that the Dale Cathedral would be renamed the Life Cathedral, and sent holy warriors and church knights to publicize from house to house, announcing the end of the Holy Church and the rise of the God of Life and Wisdom.
As for how to deal with the main force of the Holy Church rushing back from Hook Territory, this is Alfonso's business.
With the death and defeat of Earl Dyson, Alfonso is now the actual ruler of Dale Province. In the past few days, a large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen have come to see him every day.
He accepted the surrender of nobles and donations from wealthy businessmen one by one, and was very busy.
As for the Holy Knights led by Knight Commander Bartos, neither he nor Alfonso cared. The battle to break through Dale City had proved the powerful force of the church knights. The combat power of this Holy Knights was only slightly higher than that of Dale City, and they would not be their opponents.
After leaving the affairs of Dell City to Alfonso and his other subordinates, Lin Xiao stayed alone in the hall of the church's underground shelter. His will communicated with the Creation Cube. The space in front of him was slightly distorted, and soon several crystal clear energy crystals emitting different energy brilliance appeared in his hands.
He held the four pure energy crystals and placed them on his nose and took a deep breath. Wisps of four-color light mist representing the energy of the four elements flew out and flew into his nose.
Along with the four element crystals, there were also strands of faith power purified by the Creation Cube.
Gradually integrating the four element crystals and the purified faith power, Lin Xiao's consciousness sank into his soul and saw a golden ancient tree phantom. The four-color element energy mixed and purified faith power turned into a chaotic breath and injected into the golden ancient tree, and the leaves of the phantom swayed gently.
With the continuous injection of energy, a light at the bottom of the golden ancient tree phantom began to gradually brighten.
Yes, at this time Lin Xiao was lighting up the first talent of his totem talent tree - energy conversion.
Although he collected the power of faith, in this world he could not take the route of deification through faith, but had to take the route of totem.
Normally, lighting up the totem requires divine power, which he did not have at this time, but could be replaced by the power of faith.
Divine power is essentially a pure special spiritual power purified by mixing the soul power and mental power of strange monsters, and the power of faith is also the spiritual power of all living beings, and the two have certain commonalities.
Normally, the two are different in nature and cannot be used interchangeably, but the power of faith is different. This kind of pure spiritual power of believers can replace divine power after being completely purified.
Why do those totem lords gather the power of faith? It is because totem lords can absorb the power of faith and gradually become stronger.
Totem lords are essentially no different from players in the God Realm.
Normally, only formal totem masters can start to try to absorb the power of faith, and the conversion rate is very low, perhaps less than one tenth, which means that 90% of the power of faith will be wasted.
Lin Xiao is not even a formal totem master now, so theoretically he cannot even sense the power of faith, let alone absorb it.
But he had the Creation Cube to hold the power of faith, purify it, and absorb it.
After purification and absorption by the Creation Cube, he could completely absorb the purified power of faith. Although there was still a lot of loss that could not be completely absorbed, it was much stronger than other apprentices who could not sense it, and his absorption rate was even higher than that of normal totem masters.
He estimated that his effective absorption was about one-third, which was a very high digestibility efficiency. The average totem lord might not be as efficient as him.
As the large amount of purified power of faith mixed with the four energy crystals was absorbed, the first talent node of his Golden Ancient Tree Totem Talent Tree, "Energy Conversion", was lit up.
The moment the talent was lit up, Lin Xiao felt that his perception suddenly changed. He could not feel any energy around him. At the moment the talent tree was lit up, his consciousness was like a wave of light sweeping across, and the world seemed to come alive instantly. He sensed the existence and flow of energy between heaven and earth.
It felt like a paused movie was clicked to play, and the whole world moved all of a sudden.
At this moment, Lin Xiao felt the existence of energy. His will touched these energies. He had a hunch that he could control these energies.
With a thought in his mind, he stretched out his right hand, combined his thumb and middle finger and rubbed them gently. A ball of fire suddenly lit up between his thumb and index finger.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up with the fire. Just now, he did not use the power of any props, but only ignited the fire by himself.
"Supernormal is really resurrected!"
If the elements of the plane will have not awakened and the tide has not been set off, even if this talent is lit up, it will not be able to mobilize the solidified elements to light up this small flame. Now that this small flame is lit up by its own power, it is enough to prove that the spiritual energy has indeed revived and the plane restrictions are gradually being released.
"We must speed up and seize the initiative!"
He can sense the revival of spiritual energy, and other descenders can also sense it. Maybe one of them will suddenly discover this abnormality.
Light up the first talent energy conversion, the golden ancient tree totem can freely transform any energy in the world, and it can continuously absorb energy from the void to strengthen itself. This strengthening speed continues to increase with his strength.
Now that this talent has just been activated, the energy absorbed every moment is very little, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket.
But as long as the strength is strong, the absorption speed will become faster and faster. In theory, when it reaches a certain level, it can drain the energy of a plane in a short time.
Of course, this is a matter of a long time in the future. Putting this aside for now, Lin Xiao began to check the second talent of his golden ancient tree totem, called "Seed of Life".
This talent is very simple. After the golden ancient tree lights up this talent, it can produce seeds, or fruits, that contain powerful life force.
