The Black Knight Captain warned with a sneer.
Jakni broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that the Black Knight, who had been somewhat polite just now, would directly threaten him with force. Naturally, the previous ruler would not have a good time in the hands of this ruler. If he continued to be greedy, he would probably lose his life.
Chapter 1336: Only the Royal Family Was Injured
The Dark Church allowed him to retain his personal property because commoners also own personal property, but power is not something all commoners have. It is wishful thinking for him to try to retain his privileges as a king.
The Black Knight's speech, amplified by magic, was heard by all residents of Nectus. After realizing that if the Dark Church really entered Nectus, the king's power would be forcibly deprived and he would become just an ordinary rich man, almost all residents wanted to open the door and welcome the Dark Church into Nectus.
After all, not only were they exempted from nine-tenths of their original taxes, but they could also make those usually arrogant royal families sit on an equal footing with them. This was simply too exciting!
Although some powerful nobles were somewhat dissatisfied after hearing that their power would be taken away from them, they soon realized that they could just fight for it after their power was taken away.
The power of these nobles was granted by the king. When they switch to the Dark Church, wouldn’t it be more secure to be granted power by God?
Moreover, it is impossible for the Dark Church not to delegate any power. It is impossible for them to do everything by themselves, right?
It doesn't matter who you follow. It is obviously a wiser move to change to a boss with a better background. After considering this clearly, the nobles' resentment dissipated.
In the end, the only ones who got hurt were the royal family represented by Jakni. After all, their royal family could grant power to others, but now this qualification was directly taken over by the Dark Church. They did not dare to have any complaints. After all, no matter how they looked at it, the soldiers under their command could not beat those terrifying dragon knights, not to mention that the other side was not only superior to their own soldiers in quality, but also far exceeded them in quantity.
Including the reserves, Nectus's guards numbered just under 10,000, a number that was barely able to be drawn out after taking into account the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
It’s not that the Kingdom of Clet doesn’t want more troops, but that it can’t afford to support more guards.
After all, the guards have to conduct combat training on a daily basis and certainly cannot engage in production. He is not like Moyin who has the protection of the God of Harvest and the blessing of various future agricultural technologies.
The maximum number of soldiers that the entire Kingdom of Clet could afford was only about 10,000. In this situation, facing the tyranny of the Dark Church, Jakni naturally had to swallow his anger.
While the two sides were negotiating, dust rolled up from the sky. Standing on the city wall, Jacques saw a formation of black knights rushing towards them like a dark cloud covering the city.
Although the formation was a small cavalry phalanx of fifty people, the problem was that it was not just one or two teams, but dozens of teams of dragoons!
At this time, Jakni had already believed what the Black Knight Captain said, that there were a total of 20,000 Black Knights coming to suppress the world this time.
Under the pressure of such a desperate gap in combat power, he no longer dared to have any extravagant hopes. He only hoped that the Black Knight would keep his promise of not plundering his property. He immediately ordered the captain of the guard beside him to arrange for the guards to open the city gate.
"We are willing to believe in the supreme dark god. Please enter the city."
Seeing that Jakni had shown his attitude of surrender, the Black Knight Captain immediately jumped off the Dark Dragon, which then turned into a shadow and returned to the Realm of Darkness to rest.
After all, if they want to enter the city later, with the size of the Dark Dragon, they will have to destroy the city wall before they can get in.
The other black knights also called back their dragon-mounted companions, and then lined up in an orderly manner and waited.
Just as Jakni was wondering what these black knights were waiting for, a girl with a silver drill ponytail holding a pitch-black death sickle slowly walked out from the group of black knights.
The girl's pure and elegant appearance made everyone on the city wall stunned, but the girl's cold eyes and the murderous aura revealed by her body made everyone feel cold in their hearts.
It seemed as if once they were spotted by her, they would be prepared for their death. Therefore, although everyone was stunned by Eve's appearance for a moment, they immediately looked away in fear.
"Your Excellency, the Saint. The king of this royal city, Nectus, has expressed his intention to submit to our Dark Church. Please enter the city and take over the royal city."
The previously oppressive captain of the Black Knights now humbly knelt on one knee with his head down to report the situation to Eve. After all, this was the Saint Lady personally appointed by His Majesty Moyin.
"well done."
Eve simply praised him, then walked into the royal city of Nectus carrying the Scythe of Death.
The first royal city was taken without bloodshed. This was a very good start and she was very satisfied.
After Eve entered the royal city of Nectus, she raised her left hand and a dark law formed a huge black monument reaching the sky in the central area of the royal city of Nectus.
Then Eve's ethereal and pleasant voice enveloped the entire royal city of Nectus.
"From today on, this city will be taken over by our Dark Church."
"This monument records the various rules and regulations of our Dark Church. Anyone who approaches the monument within 100 meters will be able to learn all the laws implemented by our Dark Church. Anyone who is interested in joining the Dark Church as a believer can find any relevant member of the Dark Church to apply. Once you join us, you need to strictly abide by these laws, and you can also enjoy the gifts of being a Dark believer."
"If you don't want to join, you can sell your real estate and leave the city with your wealth. No one can stop you."
Eve said as she walked towards the luxurious building of the Holy Fang Church.
Since the god of endowment, Demis, existed before, there was more or less some power of faith there. After dealing with ordinary people, the next step was to deal with the local sects.
She was very confident about the civilians joining, because Moyin was very good to his believers, so Eve was confident that after reading the information recorded on the Monument of the Law, almost 90% of the civilians would choose to join the Dark Church.
So now she only needs to deal with the existing local sects.
As Eve entered the city, the mighty black knights outside the city also entered the royal city of Nectus in an orderly manner, following Eve in the lead at a not-too-distant distance.
The civilians on both sides of the street looked at the Black Knight with some curiosity.
Since the Dark Church had gone through a long period of purge before this, those who could stay and become Black Knights were all people with good character.
In addition, before the suppression operation, Eve repeatedly warned the Black Knights about their attitude towards civilians.
Therefore, at this sight, people can compare the differences between the Dark Church and the Holy Square Church.
Chapter 1337: Duel between Knight Commanders
These black knights did not show any fear or respect when facing powerful forces such as the king, and when facing commoners like them, they did not act arrogantly like the members of the Holy Square Church, but treated them with courtesy.
This immediately made many people feel more favorable towards the Dark Church.
After all, most of the people in the Holy Fang Church are out to make money. To become a member of the Holy Fang Church, it is not based on whether one's moral character is noble enough, but only on whether one has the blessing of faith. Therefore, there are actually quite a few people with poor moral character in the Holy Fang Church.
In front of the Cathedral of the Holy Nectetes, a large number of Knights of the Inquisition were standing by in full battle array.
Since the Black Knight Captain's words were amplified by magic so that everyone in the city could hear them, they also realized that someone was coming to grab the territory.
After learning that a new church had suddenly appeared outside the city, the high priest of the Holy Square Church immediately notified the Knights of Judgment to gather all their forces.
They have been bullying others in the name of Demis for hundreds of years, so naturally they are unwilling to give up this divine power now.
Therefore, in addition to notifying the Knights of Inquisition, the high priest also went to the Grand Temple in person and prayed devoutly to the Supreme God Demis, hoping that Demis would bring down divine punishment to judge these pagans.
After all, the Supreme God Demis would occasionally send down oracles, so the high priest was still quite confident.
But he didn't expect that Demis didn't respond to his prayers this time. The high priest felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that this disaster was a test sent to them by the supreme god Demis.
Of course, the high priest did not know that the reason why Demis did not respond to his prayers was entirely because Demis had been killed by Moyin before. Naturally, the high priest could not get a response from Demis at this time.
Next to the Knights of Judgment was a group of nuns in white nun uniforms, led by a dignified young girl with a hint of holiness... She was Saint Diadora of the Holy Square Church.
The reason why these nuns appeared was because most of the nuns' blessings had healing powers, and Diadora, who had the Saint's blessing, had the ability of healing hands that could completely heal the wounded instantly.
This was a do-or-die battle to defend the church, so naturally these nuns had to go to the battlefield.
In this area, in addition to the people from the Holy Square Church, there are also many civilians following from a distance. They also want to see which sect will win the final victory.
"Stop! This is the forbidden area of the Holy Fang Church!"
When he saw Eve holding the Scythe of Death and walking slowly towards the church of the Holy Cross, Rodson, the leader of the Knights of Inquisition of the Holy Cross, raised the heavy gun in his hand and pointed it at Eve and shouted loudly.
"The Supreme God Demis you believe in has been killed by the Dark God of our Dark Church, His Majesty Moyin. If you are willing to surrender and believe in our Supreme God Moyin, we can spare your lives. We don't want to kill too many people."
Eve declared expressionlessly.
"You bold witch! How dare you say such outrageous words!"
"Then why haven't the gods you believe in punished me yet?"
Eve asked back calmly, and the people from the Holy Fang Church suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
In the past, relying on the majesty of the Holy Fang Church, no one dared to say such treasonous words, so they had never encountered such a situation.
As a result, he was now outmaneuvered by Eve.
"The Supreme God Demis has no time to care about a lowly human like you. Let me punish you on His behalf."
Rodson said unwaveringly that he could feel the powerful fighting power hidden in Eve's petite body, so he didn't care about bullying the weak at this moment.
Even if he himself goes on the field, he's not 100% sure of winning, let alone others going on the field.
"Hahahahaha, you are not qualified to trouble our Saint Lady to do it herself. Let me, Ishter, play with you. You look like the leader of the knights over there. Coincidentally, I am also the leader of the Black Knights. Saint Lady, let my subordinates deal with this guy?"
Ishtel walked out from behind Eve with a big laugh, and then asked for Eve's opinion.
"Okay, go ahead."
Eve nodded. Moyin had given the task of suppressing the world to the Dark Church with the intention of training the believers of the Dark Church.
She and Ai Xue were the first ones in the Dark Church to follow Mo Yin, and they were the first two to gain power. In addition, they were born in the Inquisition, and they immediately worked hard to train after gaining power. Now their strength far exceeds that of ordinary believers in the Dark Church.
If she were to deal with an opponent like Rodson, it would be no exaggeration to say that she would kill him instantly and would not be able to gain any combat experience at all. If she handed it over to Ishter, it would be a bit of a training for him.
After all, her and Ai Xue’s previous sparring partners were all at the same level of combat power as Elina Jin or Xiao Bao.
"Okay! Then let me judge you, this evil pagan!"
Rodson agreed with a secret delight.
With his strength, it can be seen that Ishter is weaker than Eve. Fighting with him should be able to delay more time. If possible, it would be best to let the god Demis directly bring down divine punishment to kill Eve.
After all, looking at Eve's eyes that were indifferent to life, he really felt a little unsure.
"It's unclear who will judge whom."
Ishtel raised his hand, and the power of darkness formed a two-handed heavy sword nearly two meters long. Then he kicked the ground, jumped into the air, and slashed heavily at Rodson.
"Holy Light Protection! Armor of the Earth!"
Facing Ishtel's heavy blow, Rodson did not dare to hesitate and shouted.
Along with the shout, a solid white light covered the surface of Rodson's body and the heavy gun in his hand. At the same time, an ochre-colored light penetrated into his body from the ground. Then Rodson held the heavy gun tightly in both hands and rushed towards the dark heavy sword of Ishter that was chopped down with the force of splitting mountains.
There was a loud bang, and the civilians watching the scene felt as if their heads were hit hard by a sledgehammer. They all felt dizzy for a moment, and the ground under Rodson's feet quickly spread with a large number of cracks like a spider web.
However, Rodson, who was in the crack, was unharmed.
Rodson used both hands to push Ishter away, then took a step forward. The heavy gun in his hand stabbed towards Ishter's heart with the force of thunder, bringing with it a whirlwind that slightly distorted the space.
