Witch Wind

Chapter 248 Who is the Orthodox One (Part )

The steel torrent is advancing. The steel torrent is advancing.

In the middle of the Western Continent, in the central plain known as the "granary of the continent", fireworks were everywhere, and guns and cannons were roaring. Looking down from the sky, countless chariots crushed villages and towns, blasted through cities, and crushed all enemies who dared to resist.

According to the season, the vast fields with undulating green waves should be dotted with large and small pits.

Corpses in various uniforms filled trenches, canals, and bomb craters. In many places, pieces of meat and uniforms were mixed together. The crooked military flags were like the fingers of undead ghosts, sticking diagonally in the muddy ground stained with blood and meat paste. There were well-fed crows, lazily squatting on the flagpoles, squatting diagonally in a row.

The Saint Ross soldiers, who were burly, wearing crude uniforms made of grey coarse cloth and armed with sophisticated weapons, broke into houses like crazy hyenas, cheering and looting everything they wanted.

Gold coins, silver coins, porcelain, silk, fine wine, sausages...

Even small statues of the Virgin Mary made of various precious metals were stuffed into the soldiers' backpacks, ready to be taken back to their hometowns and inlaid on their own stoves or bedside tables. Years later, they could drink strong liquor, point at these statues of the Virgin Mary, and brag to their grandchildren about how they had chopped off several heads to snatch these treasures.

In a rather wealthy city, next to the main hall of the Cathedral of Our Lady standing in the center of the city, a heavy crane was roaring, carefully lowering from the top of the tower that was more than twenty feet high, a magnificent statue of the Virgin Mary that was about two feet high, made entirely of silver, with a thick layer of gold on the surface, and inlaid with thousands of gems of various colors.

An admiral of Saint Rose stroked his beard and looked at the priceless antique statue of the Virgin Mary with great satisfaction as it slowly fell from a height.

The great cathedral before us is extremely famous in the entire central plains of the Western Land. It is the main cathedral with the longest history among several nearby kingdoms.

In particular, this antique statue of the Virgin Mary, the casting date of which can be traced back nearly a thousand years.

For the countries in the Western Continent, the historical value of ancient artifacts with a history of thousands of years is simply immeasurable.

He planned to build a family temple in his hometown after the war.

The people of Saint Ross generally believe in the Holy Father religion, and this captured statue of the Virgin Mary will be embedded in the wall at the foot of the statue of the Holy Father in the family chapel. This is a display of martial arts, and it is also the best sacrifice to the Holy Father.

Several old priests with white hair and beards knelt on the ground, crying out at the top of their lungs: "You evil pagans, you should all be thrown into the deepest sulfur hell!"

Lieutenant General Saint Rose blinked his eyes, raised his left hand, and the skin on his palm suddenly turned into a clear and transparent crystal state. With the sound of charging, dozens of high-energy rays as thick as eggs were ejected in the blink of an eye. These old priests, as well as the more than one hundred captured armed priests behind them, exploded like eggs hit by a heavy hammer.

The shrill cries of a woman came from the side hall.

Large groups of Saint Rose soldiers, smiling happily, lined up and committed some of the violent acts common in war against more than a hundred captured female clergymen.

Admiral Saint Rose raised his left hand, blew gently on the faint hot air in his palm, and said slowly: "Let the boys work harder and faster, there are more good things waiting for us ahead... Uh, am I too old? These beautiful nuns don't even arouse my interest at all?"

The admiral straightened his back with all his strength.

In the body of the admiral, who was nearly eight feet tall, a golden celestial bone was gushing with tremendous energy. Twelve exquisite small furnaces were embedded in twelve key points in his body, and each small furnace could provide him with powerful power equivalent to the perfect celestial realm.

The celestial bone absorbs and exhales energy, constantly releasing new plasma, tempering the body and elevating the soul.

However, the composition of the newborn plasma is very different from that of 'carbon-based creatures', 'carbon-based practitioners', and even 'carbon-based immortals'. The composition of its plasma is more similar to 'highly condensed energy liquid', with less than 30% of 'carbon-based biological characteristics'.

"A poor means of reproducing life!" In his brain, three chips inlaid in the shape of finished characters, which were perfectly integrated with the brain nerves, flickered slightly. The admiral curled his lips and made an extremely abrupt comment that betrayed his own original ethnic group.

He happily admired the statue of the Virgin Mary hanging from the top of the tower, whistled with satisfaction, and with his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the door of the side hall where the atrocities were taking place with a few guards, admiring the beast-like viciousness of his soldiers - he commented on the soldiers' every move with relish, as if he were well-fed dignitaries standing outside the isolation fence of the zoo, admiring the primitive reproduction among animals.

"You lowly carbon-based creatures. Apart from being slaves, you can only be used as materials." The admiral curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "But your fragile bodies don't even qualify to be the most basic forging materials... Damn the Dharma Ending Age."

"If it weren't for the Dharma Ending Age, you guys would practice some magic techniques that would improve your bodies madly...ah, your blood plasma would be the most perfect lubricant...your bones would be the most perfect warhead material...your brains would also become the culture medium for the 'biochemical brain'."

"Damn you, the end of the Dharma era! You lowly creatures are getting the better of you."

The furnace roars.

The celestial bones flickered.

The three chips gradually adjusted their frequencies, gradually coordinating with the admiral's soul fluctuations to a perfect match. His body, his soul, his thoughts, all his ideas gradually deviated from his original group and quickly transformed towards some unpredictable goal.

Suddenly, a loud whistling sound was heard in the sky.

Large numbers of rockets, dragging long tails of flames and making shrill whistles, fell at high speed towards the suburban positions of the occupied city.

On the outer positions, high-speed multi-barreled cannons on hundreds of steel chariots roared in unison, and dense rain of bullets shot out, hitting the rockets flying in the sky from several miles away and making them explode in the air.

More than ten miles away.

On top of a huge chariot that is several miles long, there is a burly Renov with skin that has turned dark gold and a terrifying aura. He is wearing the emperor's crown and holding a heavy scepter, sitting on a towering throne on top of the turret.

The rocket whizzed towards them. Renov squinted his eyes, with a bloody light flashing in his eyes, and looked in the direction where the rocket came from.

Maria was wearing a Saint Rose court lady's uniform, a pitch-black long skirt with only a few very thin blood-red threads embellishing the cuffs and waist. She looked cold and murderous, like an old zombie imprisoned in the palace for thousands of years, just rushing out of the coffin, holding a long needle and ready to pierce a few pieces of tender flesh.

At this moment, her whole body was filled with an aura of keeping strangers away and an extreme rejection of all heresy.

Maria's state made Renouf feel slightly nervous. He did not look back at her, but asked directly: "So, according to your intelligence, these weapons...really come from the Aimee Federation? Does that upstart country have such strength?"

Renov carefully observed the rockets flying all over the sky.

A man in black under Maria's command flew into the air, with a flash of lightning in his eyes. The invisible fluctuating magnetic field paralyzed the detonator in the rocket. He directly carried the rocket back to the top of the tank, dismantled the warhead, and handed it to Renov.

Renov pretended to examine the bullet carefully, then he shook his head with blank eyes.

As the former prince of the Saint Ross Empire and the current Saint Ross Emperor, Renov received the standard education of the Saint Ross Empire's royal children since he was a child. He is proficient in swordsmanship, boxing, archery, horsemanship, battle formations, command, logistics, and management. He is also proficient in the reception and sending of various official documents and the numerous witchcrafts passed down from his ancestors.

However, the technological level of the Saint Ross people is the lowest in the entire Western Continent.

As an imperial prince, Renov knew some basic knowledge of astronomy, geography, mathematics and chemistry, and that was all... His identity, his title, and everything else determined that all he had to do was know how to manage those old men in the Imperial Academy of Sciences and how to use various means to squeeze out their brains and wisdom.

He doesn't need to specialize in these.

After carefully examining the bullet in his hand, Renov was silent for a long time, and then he nodded pretentiously: "Well, the workmanship is very exquisite. Look, this conical cover inside is polished like a mirror. Hey, my beard is reflected clearly."

Maria and several men in black rolled their eyes at the same time. They were speechless about Renouf, who could make these "mechanical life forms" do such a "humane" action. Maria murmured, "Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, when you merged this golden immortal bone that was personally modulated by the Supreme Lord, I personally implanted nine high-level chips in your brain."

"Three of the chips store a large amount of advanced technical information. The other six chips are also the highest-level auxiliary intelligent chips I can get."

"According to my calculations, you have mastered the information in the three data chips... At least, you should have a basic understanding of technology." Maria looked at Renov seriously: "What have you been doing for so many days?"

A flash of scarlet lightning flashed in Maria's eyes.

She used her high-level authority to quietly affect the chip implanted in Renov's brain. For a 'carbon-based life form' like Renov, whose individual strength is already strong, the efficiency of physical transformation is very high, but if she wants to 'purify his soul' and transform him from the 'bones' to 'the same kind', this will be a long and subtle process.

Be like the spring breeze and rain.

Dripping water can wear away a stone.

Let things happen naturally.

This is the ultimate experience gained from countless wars and countless lessons.

Therefore, Maria just quietly activated the chip, releasing a subtle electric shock of spiritual fluctuations, quietly affecting Renov. Under this potential influence like spring rain and breeze, Renov smiled awkwardly and said very frankly: "After implanting those little things, my soul power has become extremely powerful and sharp... I am comprehending the ancestral "Zhurong Witch Code"!"

Speaking of the Zhurong Witch Code, Renov suddenly became excited. He began to talk incessantly about the various magical witchcraft curses and various complex but extremely powerful witchcraft powers recorded in the witch code.

"Originally, there are several powerful witchcraft skills that are impossible to practice in this Dharma Ending Age." Renov said excitedly, "However, with the thirty-six golden fairy-level furnaces implanted in me by Lady Maria, combined with this golden fairy bone, I have endless 'immortal power' in my body to squander."

"My wisdom seems to have increased by more than a hundred times. With this body and the 'immortal power' in my body as a basis, I have comprehended several new magical powers."

Renov stood up excitedly and pointed his finger. A prisoner who was kneeling on the ground next to the woods a few miles away with the muzzle of a Saint Ross soldier's gun pointed at the back of his head suddenly let out a strange cry and flew into the air involuntarily.

Renov shouted loudly and waved his right hand gently. A red light flashed by and a witchcraft spell blasted into the body of the prisoner.

'puff'!
The body of the burly man weighing nearly 200 kilograms suddenly turned into ashes. A red light wrapped around a soybean-sized bit of flesh and blood, mixed with all the essence and blood extracted from the man's body, and shot forward as fast as lightning.

The weight of that bit of flesh and blood was negligible. Converted into the units of measurement that Xing Tianli was familiar with in his previous life, it would be about one gram.

The blood shot out, and in an instant, it crossed dozens of miles and fell into a city in front that was struggling to resist the attack of the Saint Ross Legion. The next moment, there was a loud bang, and a strong light shot up into the sky. This bit of flesh and blood weighing one gram was ignited by the cursed blood essence, and was completely annihilated in the blink of an eye.

A terrifying explosion equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of standard military explosives went off, and the entire city was destroyed in an instant.

Maria's expression suddenly changed.

The raging flames rose up, and a bright red mushroom cloud rushed into the sky with terrifying high temperature - this was a terrifying witchcraft attack similar to a nuclear explosion, but there was no radiation residue in the air. This was an extremely clean, astonishingly clean "fire witchcraft attack"!
The expressions of several men in black also changed slightly.

Renov smiled triumphantly and said, "Lady Maria, the toxins left by the weapons you made are too serious. Where a weapon explodes, mortals cannot survive within a radius of dozens of miles for a hundred years. It is such a pity that such fertile land is wasted like this."

"However, I have been meditating for several months, combining some techniques of that great killing weapon, and from the Zhurong Witch Code, I have comprehended this great magical power of 'Annihilation Witch Thunder'. It is incredibly powerful, but clean, pure, and has no residue. It is truly a wonderful killing move for attacking cities, destroying countries, and slaughtering enemy troops."

"Especially, this is the Dharma Ending Age."

Renov raised his hands excitedly, and threw the warhead of the rocket aside: "In this Dharma Ending Age, I am able to use such means... I am the true Lord of Witches, and I am the orthodox one in witchcraft!"

The eyes of Maria and several men in black flashed with dim light rapidly.

This is not good.

This is bad.

Renov had already accepted their transformation, a golden immortal bone of an inestimable value, a true disciple of Yuxu Palace who practiced the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, and it was also a golden immortal bone that was personally tempered by the Supreme Lord...

This means that within a short period of time, Renov's strength will advance by leaps and bounds, and he will quickly grow into the number one fighting force under Maria for a long time in the future - the number one fighting force with a decisive position!

Such an important "tool man", but all he thinks about are the "Zhu Rong Witch Code", witchcraft and magical powers, and some bullshit "Witch Clan Orthodoxy"?
Hey, you are no longer a 'human', do you know that you are not the Tao?
Maria's eyes shone brightly, and she strengthened her subconscious influence on Renouf. She said in a faint voice: "Your Majesty, let's discuss the problem of the Aime Federation... They are using dirty tricks to hinder our conquest. Do you have any countermeasures for this?"

Renov narrowed his eyes, waved his hand boldly, and shouted: "Do we need to deal with it? Just push it forward. Aimee Federation? No matter who is behind them, I have never regarded them as opponents. In my mind, the only threat, the real threat, is the East Country, Shenzhou, and those damned but terrible old antiques!"

"To fight against foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. This Western Continent is the 'internal' of the Saint Ross Empire!"

"First conquer the Western Continent, then conquer the Eastern Kingdom of Shenzhou... I want to see those old guys kneeling at my feet, kissing my feet, crying and begging me to place my tablet at the highest point of their ancestral temple altar!"

Maria's nose was crooked with anger.

You bastard, you have muscles all over your body and your brain is full of muscles, what on earth are you thinking about?
You should speed up the fusion with the nine high-level chips, you should speed up the fusion with the golden immortal bone, you should speed up the transformation of your physical body, you should transform yourself into a 'cyborg life' as quickly as possible, so that you can escape from the category of low-level 'carbon-based life' and become a distinguished 'silicon-based aristocrat'!

Maria was roaring wildly in her heart, when suddenly, Renov flicked his fingers and a smooth, square chip about one foot long and as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in his hand.

A flash of lightning appeared, and the transparent chip suddenly rippled with light and shadow. Countless rays of light crisscrossed, and a three-dimensional old man wearing a Farus court robe quietly appeared in the light and shadow.

Xing Tianli destroyed the Falusian Republic and established the Black Crow Empire.

But things were rushed and everything was completed in a very short time. The biggest change he made to the entire Farus was just to change the uniforms of the Black Crow Empire Army. That was all. The nobles of the Black Crow Empire, their various badges, emblems, dresses, etc., still followed the style of the past Farus Kingdom.

Renouf laughed. "My Marquis, how is this 'high-tech' thing? Is it useful? Is it interesting? Ah, as the head of the secret spy stationed in Farus by the Saint Ross Empire, it will take you at least half a year to deliver a piece of intelligence back to the imperial capital."

"But now, we can easily communicate face to face."

"I love this thing called 'technology'."

"Well, do you have any important information that requires you to use this thing to communicate directly with me? Farus, oh, no, are there any major changes within our Black Crow Empire?"

The old man bowed to Renouf respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I just found out that the people who severely damaged our fleet in Yingjishi are from another world. They are witches!"

Renov's smile suddenly disappeared.
