He is the Lord of MC, not the God of Light!

Chapter 40. The Real Sun Welcomes the Continent of Rodriguez

It rained heavily in Blackwater City today.

This is something that the people of Blackwater City should be happy about. Rain after a long drought is one of the four great joys in life.

But with infinite water and the spirit of harvest bestowed by the great dawn.

Even if the drought continues, the people of Blackwater City can still live a wonderful life that others can hardly imagine.

Drink the rootless and dust-free nectar, and eat the golden crops blessed by the dawn.

On weekdays, you can take a bath in the endless water, or even grow flowers and trees to cultivate your sentiments.

A rainstorm would at most make the Blackwater City believers cheer for a few minutes, and then...

They gathered in large numbers to the Dawn Church and gave devout praises to the Heavenly Father Dawn who bestowed upon them happiness and to His Holiness the Pope, the incarnation of God.

The believers firmly believed that this rain was also given by the dawn.

Thousands of people gathered in the church and, led by Father Matthew, recited the Oracle Scripture devoutly and in unison, praising the dawn with gratitude and happiness.

But this harmonious atmosphere was soon broken.

Jello, who was fortunate enough to join the Vatican Army, rushed into the church in the rain, looking anxious and with red eyes.

"Father Matthew! Something bad has happened! Father Matthew!"

"absurd!"

Matthew, who was standing at the front and leading the recitation, opened his eyes unhappily.

"By the great and merciful Dawn, how can the heavens fall? Such anxiety and disrespect for the sacred place of the church are truly disrespectful!"

"Are you worthy of your glorious identity as a Vatican soldier?"

Jello didn't have time to talk to Matthew about this, and said hurriedly:
"Father Matthew, a little girl with wings just came from outside the city asking for help! She claimed that her tribe was attacked by demons east of Blackwater City."

"Now, Paladin Markov and his companions have taken the little girl to pay a visit to His Holiness the Pope!"

Demons?

When this long-lost word appeared in the ears of the people of Blackwater City, many people couldn't help but feel creepy.

But then, looking at the big sun sculpture in the dawn ahead, my heart inexplicably calmed down.

As long as there is light, even if the devil comes, what does it matter?
Matthew thought so too, his expression calm.

"A mere demon tribe makes you panic like this. Are you still the glorious and everlasting Vatican Army?"

"No, Father Matthew, that's not what I meant!"

Jello was scratching his head anxiously.

"Before leaving, Paladin Markov and his men didn't prepare the Vatican's army for war, but I feel that the Great Dawn won't ignore its children."

"I'm worried... His Holiness the Pope might not let us go out to fight, so we have to deal with these demons ourselves!"

This statement left Matthew silent.

He looked at Jero again. This little guy who was not well-known before was actually so smart and had such an understanding.

No wonder Paladin Markov allowed the skinny Jello to join the Vatican Army.

In fact, Matthew also realized it after hearing what Jello said.

Combined with the kindness and care of the Dawn Cult for its believers, and the protection of the great Pope for his believers.

What Jero said is not impossible, on the contrary...

It is almost an inevitable result!
"Let's go! Follow me to pay homage to His Holiness the Pope!"

Matthew couldn't sit still any longer, so he immediately stood up and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion with a large group of people.

But just as he walked out of the church, he saw Ian and others walking towards the city gate in the heavy rain. They were in a hurry, and the little girl from the Winged Tribe that Jero mentioned was following them.

broken!

Jero was right!
Matthew's heart sank. The direction Ian and the others were heading was completely different from the direction where the Vatican Army was stationed!

"Your Holiness! Please stay!"

Matthew rushed into the rain and led his men to block Ian.

"Your Holiness, are you planning to conquer the demons?"

Ian glanced at Markov and nodded.

"Yes, the situation is urgent. Our Dawn children are being attacked by demons. I am following Dawn's orders to unleash the wrath of God."

"Your Holiness, why don't you order the Vatican army to attack?" In the heavy rain, Matthew's vision became blurred, and he couldn't even see how many people there were in Ian's group.

Ian shook his head decisively in denial.

"The Vatican Army is newly recruited and hasn't even had a formal training session. How can I allow the children of Dawn to make such a senseless sacrifice?"

"But this is the duty of the Holy See Army! Dawn is above us, and we will never fear death!"

Jello took a step forward and responded to Ian in a decisive tone.

"It's not just the Vatican Army!"

A citizen of Blackwater City raised his arms and shouted.

"We are also children of the Dawn. Fighting for our comrades is the faith that the Dawn taught us!"

"Your Holiness, please let us go!"

"Dawn is above! I am willing to die for the dawn! I am willing to die for my comrades!"

Haniya, who was standing next to Ian, stared blankly at the Dawn believers who were standing in a row and were very excited not far away.

They may not know who they are trying to save, or some of them may have heard of the Winged Clan's bad reputation.

But based on the existence of Dawn, they are still willing to call the Winged Clan their brothers.

After the Fourth Anti-Demon War, the Winged Clan had not felt such pure kindness for a long time.

Haniya's tears mixed with the rain and fell.

She was certain that on the continent of Rodri, only the Dawn Cult was the last pure land of the Winged Clan and also the most perfect destination for the Winged Clan.

If Haniya had not been so anxious about her tribe, she would have given a speech of several thousand words on the theme of "A Heart of Gratitude".

Or belt out a song of "Listen to Me Say Thank You."

Looking at the increasingly restless Blackwater City, Ian raised his hand and shouted.

"People of the Dawn, please listen to me."

The moment the words fell, the noisy Blackwater City fell silent.

"The situation is urgent. We don't have time to waste. I know what you mean, but Shuguang will never allow his children to do anything dangerous without any assurance of safety."

"In today's battle, we will personally demonstrate the power of the Dawn. When you become stronger, I will expect you to fight for the Dawn as well!"

"I promise you, we will win this battle!"

"Now, please get out of the way. The situation with the Winged Tribe is extremely urgent!"

This time, the people of Blackwater City finally quietly made way for a passage.

Ian breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no time to continue with any pre-war speeches. The longer the delay, the more critical the situation on the Winged Tribe's side would become.

Those were all the loyal reconnaissance archers of the Dawn Cult that Ian had reserved. They would be the important fighting force for the Dawn Cult's expansion and suppression of the demons in the future.

Ian quickly walked through the crowd with Layar and others and strode out of the city.

In the eyes of the Dawn believers in Blackwater City, the backs of Ian and the other twenty people at this moment turned into a wall made of gold and stone.

It is slowly and steadily expanding towards the dangerous areas outside the city.

It seemed as if the flag of victory was already hanging high on the city wall.

Gradually, it seemed as if I saw a warm and gentle morning sun rising steadily from the east.

Sweep away the haze of the night.

Matthew suddenly had a premonition of the future.

The continent of Rodri seems to be welcoming its true sun.

After a moment, Matthew shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Your Holiness, please return safely!"

Ian continued to move forward without stopping.

Under the heavy rain, only Ian's voice penetrated the rain curtain and reached everyone's ears.

"The Dawn Society will hold victory high above the nine heavens of Blackwater City!"
