Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 477 - 189: Bauhinia Dragon Authority Emblem and the New Holy Relic of Glory (Part 4)
The Green Dragon and its minions possess an absolute strategic advantage, even after repeated defeats, they still securely harness the hope of victory.
It can be said that if not for their severe internal strife, and the excellence of the Sun Goddess’s teachings and tactics, in this battle, they should have thwarted the armies of the Hesse Territory, destroyed the town below the mountain, and tightly suppressed the Bauhinia Clan’s sphere of influence within a small castle.
But facing this perilous situation, facing imminent ruin, humanity felt no fear, no retreat, thousands of knights and soldiers loudly invoke the name of the Sun Goddess, fighting bravely to the death.
Human courage is a magnificent ode, human heroism is moving to tears, shining on the sun and moon, emboldening mountains and rivers.
Thus under Su Li’s command, humans emerged victorious in multiple battles, crushing the Forest Legion, leaving the flesh and blood of forest monsters to cover the Central Plain, piling up the corpses of the Green Dragon’s minions beneath Heisen Castle.
This epic triumph for the Hesse Territory undoubtedly bolstered the teachings of the Sun Goddess, attracting more knights and soldiers to devoutly believe in the Sun Goddess, Her Majesty Violet.
When followers hear of this glorious victory and the magnificent battles, they will become more devout in their faith in the Church, because among the Empire Gods, perhaps no deity has followers who can win such splendor and glory in the face of such disparity in military power.
This battle triumph was a proclamation of honor to both sides for the Sun Goddess.
For the Hesse Territory to glorify the Goddess’s teachings, the Goddess will also bestow divine grace and blessings upon her brave followers.
Su Li then immediately said to Marshal Oerstein: "My marshal, your successful return from leading the army means this war is completely over. We should make a vow to the Sun Goddess, thanking her for responding to our prayers, and for bestowing divine grace and blessings upon us."
"Are the offerings for the proclamation and sacrifice to the Sun Goddess Monastery ready?"
"Of course!" Oerstein raised his chin, his face full of pride. Praying and proclaiming triumph to the Goddess are the most honorable moments for a knight, which means he and his achievements have increased the Goddess’s glory. He had meticulously prepared offerings for this event, saying: "We have already prepared the flowers and swords that Her Majesty Violet likes in the forest." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"Namely, a wreath made from golden osmanthus blooming on the forest cliffs, the wailing vine crown of the Divine Chosen Level Tree Demon, the reversed scale shed from the Green Dragon’s Nest, and the axe and halberd forged from the Centaur Beast’s gold."
The country’s major affairs reside in worship and war.
Other matters Su Li would delegate to knights to execute, but for praying to the Sun Goddess, he would personally undertake this task.
So he decisively waved his hand, saying: "Let the triumphant army enter the city for a celebration today, and then the three armies shall proceed to the Sun Goddess Monastery, to pray to the Goddess, proclaiming our epic triumph!"
For today’s celebration ceremony, knights and followers who believed in the Goddess had long decorated carriages with fresh flowers, human skulls, and gold, as they carried the beautiful statue of Violet in a parade, enjoying the cheers and applause from the territory’s army, citizens, and residents.
After the grand ceremony, the triumphant knights followed Su Li across the stone bridge in front of the Bauhinia Palace, reaching the northernmost point of the territory where the Sun Goddess Monastery stood. In front of this largest Monastery in the territory was a new Religious Holy Image, a majestic Divine Statue already towering over ten meters high, solemnly and sacredly overlooking all the knights kneeling on one knee before her.
