The twenty-eighth day of the second month of the Bracada calendar.
The twenty-eighth day of the Holy Light month of winter in the Erathian calendar.
The so-called Holy Light Month is actually February.
But as a religious country, Erathia always has to come up with something different.
For example, replace the months with holy light, angels, etc.
In addition to the months, many other things have also been modified and changed accordingly.
For example.
Eating is not called eating, it is called Communion.
Singing is not called singing, it’s called divine song.
Collecting taxes is not called collecting taxes, it is called donation.
Bribery is not called bribery, it is called atonement.
…
…
Create clever names and replace concepts.
In this way, faith is unconsciously integrated into every aspect of the daily life of all citizens, and the seeds of faith are planted in the hearts of the people without anyone noticing.
In Erathia, the closer a city is to the Holy City, the greater the number of believers and the higher the piety of the believers.
Even smugglers and robbers would go to church to confess their sins after killing people and stealing their property.
If you have a teaching position in a monastery, you can get a discount on confession.
To enter the body of a little boy, an ordinary noble would need 15 gold coins to redeem his sins.
If you are a priest, 12 are enough.
In this Erathia filled with angelic glory, even sin must be sacred.
The strange rules that seem hilarious enough to make players laugh are actually part of the daily life of the people of Erathia.
In this regard, Qi Ge can only say that Ronaldinho's methods are really very clever.
If he could use all this energy and thought to improve people's livelihood, perhaps Erathia's national strength would have caught up with Bracada long ago.
Of course, everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at.
Maybe Ronaldinho put all his skill points into spreading faith and didn't put any points into improving people's livelihood at all (laughs).
February 28th.
For other forces, it was just an ordinary day.
But for Erathia, today is a very special day.
On this day in history, the war-torn human beings, led by Ronis, offer their faith to the angels who once helped humans fight against hell.
From then on, humans had another protector besides the griffin.
This guardian soon became a patron saint under the promotion of Ronis and remains so today.
Therefore, today is the birthday of the Church of the Holy Angels.
A true "Christmas Day".
However, in the Church of the Holy Angels, today is generally referred to as the "Holy Day of Advent".
According to the Old Gospel (written by Ronis):
[The Holy Religion is natural and exists at the source of the world, at the beginning of creation.]
Believers awaken.
The Holy Religion descended from the 160 million mountains of heaven.
Therefore, using the word "birth" to describe the Church of the Holy Angels is a blasphemy to the Church of the Holy Angels.
Every year on the Day of Advent, according to tradition, the Church of the Holy Angels holds a grand Mass.
In reality, Mass is the most important and most frequently celebrated ceremony in the Catholic Church.
Its purpose is to consecrate the Body and Blood, offer it to God, and express worship, gratitude, prayer and atonement to God.
The main religious activities of the church revolve around the Mass.
Mass is the main body and center of Catholic liturgical life, as well as its peak.
In Erathia, due to a lack of resources to waste, mass is only held once a day.
Of course, the scale of this Mass will be extremely grand.
Especially in Holy Heaven City.
On February 28th, many handsome men and beautiful women from the church in the Holy City will wear wings made of royal griffin head down, wear silk robes naked, and walk around the Holy City singing sacred and solemn divine songs.
Everyone who sees an "angel" must worship the angel to express his or her loyalty to the Holy Angel Church and the angels.
The bishops who came from various cities had to follow the angels' footsteps and bow three times with each step, circumambulating the city.
People who can be "angels" are not chosen randomly.
In addition to the extremely high requirements for appearance, one also needs to have sufficient and deep devotion to the Holy Heaven Church.
Therefore, such talents are generally selected from orphanages and monasteries in all cities throughout Erathia.
Each person chosen must undergo six months of training to ensure that they can perfectly reproduce the holy demeanor of an angel.
In the eyes of those young boys and girls who crave power, becoming an "angel" is a shortcut to move from the grassroots to the top of the church.
It is the cloud-covered road to heaven, it is the supreme glory for which one is willing to sacrifice one’s life.
As they donned their gorgeous attires and strolled along the cool white stone streets.
The flowers along the way and the kneeling prayers of the residents are the [holy steps] that will open up their bright lives!
However, this year's group of "angels" have suffered unprecedented treatment.
Even the first Mass held by the Holy Angel Church just one year after its establishment did not have the scene like this.
In [Holy Heaven City], the road is still the same road, still white and bright.
But the fallen flowers and leaves on the road were placed randomly aside, just like garbage that had not yet been picked up.
The number of residents who were supposed to kneel down and pray was also much less.
Not even a single bishop could be seen who was supposed to follow them.
This kind of ceremony is far from what I imagined.
The "angels" gnashed their teeth and angrily denounced the culprit who caused all this.
Because of the habits developed from long-term training, they can still maintain a dignified and glorious demeanor, sing loud hymns, and walk firmly.
But they all knew in their hearts that the Church of the Holy Angels was facing the biggest crisis in its history.
Their lives are closely tied to the [Church of the Holy Angels], just like being tied to a broken ship that is gradually sinking in the stormy waves.
There was nothing to be done except to curse the disaster and tremble in fear.
Unfortunately, they were more miserable than anyone else and didn't even have the option of jumping off ship.
It's like you got on the wrong bus.
By the time the car speed suddenly increases and you realize that this is not a car going to the kindergarten, it is too late.
…
…
In the Yasa world.
Faith is a magical thing. It can only be cheated, not robbed.
Those who have a strong will, clear goals, and a strong mind will never have true faith.
Because the essence of faith is to entrust one's emotions and will to another thing.
Usually, this thing is God.
Things that I can't do, goals that I can't accomplish, regrets that I can't do anything about.
Pray to an omnipotent being (God) to help you accomplish these things.
This is the ceremony of delivering faith.
For this reason, humans who firmly believe that they must and can accomplish everything by themselves cannot provide faith for angels.
For example, Mlak, for example, Catherine.
They are their own gods, so there is no need for them to believe in gods.
But there are only a few people who possess such a strong heart.
The hearts of ordinary people are always full of weaknesses.
This is also the reason why the Holy Angel Church can develop rapidly in Erathia.
But because of this, the foundation of the church is also built on the reputation of the Pope.
Once the reputation of the [Holy Angel Church] is damaged, the status of the [Holy Angel Church] will plummet.
Seven pigeons set three fires in Erathia.
Mlak rebelled and launched a charge on Hell, where he was killed.
This is the first fire.
Sosa sacrificed himself and asked for help from the Church of Poseidon.
This is the second fire.
Ronis has a secret conversation with Serlon, humanity's greatest enemy.
This is the third fire.
The [Church of the Holy Angels] is a big tree with deep roots in [Elasia].
If you say.
The first two fires burned away the supreme majesty of the [Church of the Holy Angels] and the gorgeous leaves that covered the rotten branches.
Then, the third fire will burn at the roots of the Church of the Holy Angels.
The Church of the Holy Angels was established to thank the angels for helping humans expel demons.
From ancient times to the present, fighting against demons has always been the foundation of the [Church of the Holy Angels].
It is because humans cannot fight against the devil that they pray like angels.
Ask the angels for help to destroy and expel the demons.
More than half of the believers of the [Holy Angel Church] firmly believe that angels will become the protectors of mankind.
However, the Pope of the Church of the Holy Angels cooperated with the devil.
This is incomprehensible and unacceptable betrayal to all the believers in Erathia.
The three fires burned the believers who were brainwashed by the Holy Light and made them at a loss.
Especially when the images of Ronis and Selron's secret conversation spread.
Uproar, horror, questioning, asking, denying, denying, arguing, anger...
Similar scenes were constantly being played out all over Erathia.
Attacking churches, gathering for sit-ins, criticizing with words and writing...
Countless ambitious guys took advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble and disrupt the situation in Erathia.
The response from the Holy Angels Church was quick.
Ronis personally came forward and declared that the images in the photo beads were forged and were a conspiracy of the devil.
Afterwards, the church began to collect and destroy the photo beads that were circulating everywhere in the name of eliminating demons.
During this period, there were also purges, revenge, violence, and killings...
But these actions could not change the unbelievable fact that the [Church of the Holy Angels] had betrayed humanity, and it spread throughout Erathia.
The large-scale collapse of faith has shaken the grassroots rule of the Holy Angel Church.
The ultimate result of the collapse of faith is hysterical madness.
If it is not stopped, this madness will eventually turn into rebellion.
[The Church of the Holy Angels ] can only take action and continue to suppress.
The church's butcher knife eventually fell on the heads of former believers.
But endless repression and internal friction cannot change the reality that the [Church of the Holy Angels] is sliding into the abyss.
The [Church of Poseidon] has taken advantage of this opportunity to flourish in coastal cities where the [Church of the Holy Angels] has relatively little influence.
The monopoly of faith by the Holy Angels Church is facing unprecedented threats.
Both Ronis and the [Church of the Holy Angels] are in urgent need of an opportunity to prove themselves and at the same time prove that the things on the [Photo Orb] are nonsense.
At this moment, a letter from the Thunder Temple crossed the fireworks-filled Ofer and arrived in Ronis's hands.
After Ronis finished reading the letter, flames began to rise in his eyes.
What could be better than this proposal?
Taking advantage of Hell's weakness, he led his troops into the army and used his overwhelming strength to prove the determination of the [Church of the Holy Angels] to be irreconcilable with Hell.
The heroic figure of the angel destroying hell was recorded with the photo beads.
Relying on the fact of victory to cover up another fact and turn the other fact into a lie.
If only we could capture the [Heart of the Abyss] before the Church of Poseidon, or kill Selron once, or destroy the [Demon Baron] Legion.
No matter which option is achieved, it can protect the shaky credibility of the Holy Angel Church.
As for the sacrifices of the angels caused by the war...
Now, Ronis and the angels can no longer care about so many things.
If you are still hesitant at this moment, once the Church of Poseidon gains a foothold, the source of faith will be greatly threatened.
That is a major event that is enough to threaten the survival of the angels and affect the foundation of the demigod Ronis.
From a long-term perspective, the pros and cons are clear.
…
…
[Holy Angel] is the strongest battleship of the [Church of the Holy Angel].
Although Qi Ge once evaluated the "Holy Angel" as an angel catapult, it was belittled as worthless.
But that was just a sly rhetoric to please Sylvia.
As the face of the [Church of the Holy Angels], the [Holy Angel] still has some merits.
For example, it looks good.
This is not a joke or sarcasm, the Sant'Angelo is really beautiful.
When building the Holy Angel, Erathia invited elven shipwrights from Avili.
A large amount of [Tianyun Wood] is used in the entire Yasa world, which is only available in [Yunzhong City].
Therefore, the Holy Angel is always surrounded by several circles of holy light.
In addition, the elf craftsmen consciously made the fence on the Holy Angel into the shape of a city wall, making the Holy Angel look like a cloud city floating in the air.
This brings us to another advantage of the Holy Angel.
Can fly.
Well, apart from being good-looking and able to fly, the Holy Angel doesn’t have any special features.
Average durability, average firepower, average flight speed.
The [Holy Angel] is more like a giant transport ship carrying angels than a warship.
But even if it is a transport ship, once it is equipped with a powerful weapon called "Angel", it will have an extremely terrifying deterrent power.
What's more, this time, the [Holy Angel] carries not only ordinary angels, but also the most elite [Holy Angel] Legion of Elasia.

illustrate:
One day during the Second Crusade, Knight Orin received an order to deliver a letter to the neighboring country of Avili.
The people of Avili lived a peaceful life, so he only took an archangel and a small group of crusaders as escorts on his journey.
Such defense seemed sufficient, so Ou Ling set off.
On the second day of the journey, a strange demon covered in fire suddenly rushed out from underground.
The fight was short and filled with death.
Although Orin's archangel resurrected his brave crusaders, such a small force was no match for such a powerful enemy.
Ou Ling's troops were finally defeated, and Ou Ling was injured by the monster and had to start fleeing.
After a lot of trouble, Oling finally arrived in Avili.
This story would have been just another common encounter in the Second Crusade, had not one circumstance led to further developments:
The demon that attacked Orin and his troops was Hellboy, a miracle soldier unprecedented in the Holy War.
It has incredible strength and the terrifying ability to steal the souls of its enemies;
The Archangel and Orin's troops were almost easily defeated by it.
The honor of the Archangels was sullied when one of their own was defeated in an unfair battle where they were outnumbered.
It was their mortal enemy, the demon, who defeated the archangels.
Orin and Ronis prayed for a long and intense time, asking Michael for protection.
Although Michael was usually silent, this time Michael responded and gave him a favor:
Only miracles can fight miracles.
The angel race needs to train angels capable of fighting against the demon baron in the chaotic battlefield.
So, the archangel who was defeated by the devil broke his wings, joined the human army like a swordsman, and entered the Chaos battlefield.
After three months of training.
The archangel was completely free of all worldly desires.
On the battlefield, he understood the strength of humans and also realized the shortcomings of angels.
Thus, the first supreme archangel (Gabriel) in the world of Yasha was born.
This is the origin of the Supreme Archangel of Erathia.
At Gabriel's request, any Archangel who aspires to go further will break their wings and fight Chaos like mortals.
Although no supreme archangel was born again, most of the returning archangels eventually advanced to become [Holy Angels].
[Holy Angel Legion] was officially established.
Their mere presence on the battlefield can inspire the friendly forces and frighten the evil. 】
The essence of the angel race is an [emotional machine] composed of emotions.
Because of this, the angels' numerical values ​​always have a flawless beauty.
Fixed damage value, will not fluctuate due to performance; stable stunts, without any random factors.
It fits perfectly without any deviation and is full of the beauty of mechanical precision.
"On the Day of Advent, the Holy Spirit came to Hell...
It's a good sign.
His Majesty Gabriel."
Ronis stared grimly at the clouds ahead and asked the angel beside him expressionlessly.
Completely different from his usual gentleness, Ronnis is now full of sharpness.
It's like a sword drawn from its sheath.
Gabriel stood beside Ronis, and the four wings of light behind him were swaying with brilliant light.
"God says that those who do evil must be judged for their sins, their bodies must be examined, and their souls must be destroyed without delay."
Gabriel was the only one speaking, but there were thousands of voices ringing around him at the same time.
Men, women, young and old, some with hoarse voices, some with melodious voices, some with blurred voices.
These thousands of voices overlap and speak the same words.
“Ronis, you should have sent us out earlier.
We are eager to cleanse ourselves of all sin.”
Ronis shook his head and said:
“I underestimated the Church of Poseidon.
I never imagined that these despicable people would dare to tarnish my reputation in such a way just to fight for faith.
“No need to blame yourself.
If you (believers) can't do it, then let me (God) come.
This is the way we promised to be together from the beginning.”
An angel flew to Gabriel and said quickly:
“Supreme!
Hell City is discovered ahead.
It is a ruined city that is being repaired.”
Ronis' eyes moved.
Of course he knew that city.
Burning Luo City.
It was here that Mrak was forced into a desperate situation and finally rebelled.
Gabriel flew into the sky and asked Ronis:
"The trial has begun?"
Ronis bowed his head reverently, silently expressing his approval.
He knew very well what his nod this time meant.
"The trial begins!!"
Gabriel's wings danced wildly, and thousands of voices overlapped in the air.
The [Holy Angel] emitted a bright light, the ring rotated faster, and one angel after another was ejected from the [Holy Angel] and flew high into the sky.
The sky is occupied by angels, and dots of holy light are connected into one.
Gabriel drew the lightsaber from his waist, pointed it forward, and said without emotion:
"Convicted."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The wings of light in the sky closed and descended, diving towards Ranluo City.
Ronis held the scripture in his hand and recited softly:
“Sinners, says God.
This is what I will do to all the evildoers who have gathered together against me; they will be destroyed in this wilderness and die here.
A crime committed in one day should be punished by a year's sentence.
The unpardonable sin should be punished by death."
The laws in Ronnis' body unfolded, and a grand collective demigod-level magic [Prayer] descended, connecting the power of the angels into one.
Gabriel led the legion of holy angels and swooped down from the air without hesitation to attack Ranluo City.
The [Ranluo City], which was already very dilapidated and had little guarding force, seemed so powerless under the angel's lightsaber.
In Ranluo City, there are actually not many real hell soldiers.
Most of the people currently carrying out restoration work in Ranluo City are human slaves that Hell plundered from nearby human cities.
When they saw the angel army, they were almost overjoyed:
"Angel! The angel is here to save us."
An old monk was so excited that he burst into tears.
He knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly:
“Oh my God!
I pray that you will purify this sinful place and redeem me and my companions from this blasphemous land!"
As if hearing the old man's prayer, an angel flapped its wings and approached him.
"Ah! God is here! God heard my prayers."
Just when the monk was ecstatic.
A huge lightsaber slashed across the monk's crown.
Accompanied by a sound of wind that was almost reaching an extreme speed.
The old man's head and neck were split in half vertically.
"My God, why would you kill me?"
The old monk never figured it out until his death.
"Ah!! The angel killed someone!! The angel killed someone!"
Just when those people were confused, the angel who had just killed the old man flapped his wings and chased after them.
One, two, three... countless civilians captured by the forces of hell were torn to pieces under the sword of the angels.
Ronis sighed deeply.
"This is an angel, an indiscriminate, emotionless killing machine."
To the angels, all creatures living in the demonic territory are blasphemers.
This, of course, includes humans.
As for those humans, whether they were forced or just passing by, the angels didn't care.
The angels will take away all the lives in the entire city of Hell with precision and cruelty, and will not let a single one go.
In their judgment, if a human being is captured by Hell and does not commit suicide immediately, he or she is a potential traitor and is no different from a demon.
After all, the underlying logic of the angel race has never included the words forgiveness and coercion.
They are just incredibly powerful killing machines.
