Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 479 - 190: Majestic Divine Grace, Triumphal Sevenfold Ceremony, Third Holy Omen
The Sun Goddess bestowed such powerful divine blessings, showing how glorious the victory in Hesse Territory was, and how the Goddess especially favored them with Her Grace.
Su Li was also highly interested in the contents of the War Prayer Scripture and, for this special favor from the Goddess, he felt he should learn more about their teachings, so he asked, "Tell us about the origins of the Triumphal Sevenfold Ceremony, and take this grand celebration to spread the teachings of the Sun Goddess."
Rong’en immediately began to explain with the piety of a sermon: "In the era when the City of Light was still shrouded in the mists of Chaos, Her Majesty Violet led twelve knights to defend the Bronze Pass at all costs. Their shields were pierced by demon horns, and when their spears broke, they fought using scripture copying boards inscribed with the Tactical Canon. Until the seventh dawn, seven golden iron-cast Holy Lilies suddenly bloomed in the stone crevice of the pass—this is recorded in history as the earliest ’Triumphal Sevenfold Ceremony’ Holy Omen.
"The first of the Triumphal Sevenfold Ceremony is the Golden Eagle Crown: During the Battle of Black Fire River in Imperial Calendar 1322, it was the Flame Sun Knight Order who, through the eagle eye perspective appearing in the sky, saw through the ambush tactics of the green-skinned warlord. The legion blessed by this will possess the eagle eye perspective forever and can clearly see all ambushes in the dark woods and shadowy fog, thus avoiding ambush situations and timely detecting most invisible enemy units."
"The second of the Triumphal Sevenfold Ceremony is the Holy Fire Emblem: During the Beastman War of Imperial Calendar 1415, the chest armor of all participating knights revealed a burning scroll emblem, its heat actually melting the frost of chaos beasts that froze the ground. The legion blessed with this, the knights recite the Dawn Oath on the eve of battle and shout ’wisdom as a sword’ during the charge, and burning Fiery Sun emblems will appear on their armor, causing burn damage to all surrounding enemies and super magnified burns on chaos followers and sons of chaos beastmen."
"The third of the Triumphal Sevenfold Ceremony is the Lark Morning Song: During the Scarlet Scourge of Imperial Calendar 1534, the Grand Prince West of the Empire once unexpectedly discovered an underground passageway as the lark landed above the enemy arrow tower. The Grand Prince personally commanded elite knights through the passage to reach the vampire crypt and underground palace depths, completing a decapitation tactic against the Vampire Legion, thus reversing the situation. When the army reaches strategic objectives with less than three times the enemy’s force, the legion might receive this blessing. At the dawn of battle, golden larks will circle the camp three times. These birds’ tail feathers can turn into gold dust to heal severe wounds, and their calls can grant newly forged swords the ’Breaking Evil’ trait. On the day of the decisive battle, the weapon in hand will always carry a layer of brilliant golden light, greatly enhancing the armor-piercing ability against evil monsters."
After speaking, Rong’en paused slightly and said, "Our territory has received three Holy Omens up to this level, namely the [Golden Eagle Crown], [Holy Fire Emblem], and [Lark Morning Song]."
"The next four Holy Omens are the [Rainbow Barrier], [Blood Ink Document], [Blazing Sun Horn], and [Original Scripture Manifestation], but all of this is still rather distant from us. We will discuss their contents in detail once we have obtained these omens. However, you can look forward to it, for the commander who perfectly triggers these sevenfold omens will receive the title of ’Living Holy Scripture.’ Although the church emphasizes that the sevenfold ceremony is proof of wisdom and courage rather than a divine miracle, when Holy Lilies bloom on scorched earth, even the most stubborn dwarf warriors will remove their iron helmets in salute."
Su Li was instantly captivated! The Fiery Sun Church has such a profound historical background, the legion named ’Flowers and Swords’ lives up to its name.
With only these three Holy Omens, Su Li already felt that the legion’s power had soared dramatically. This was the Goddess spreading Her brilliance, sacred songs echoing throughout the heavens and earth, pure petals drifting through the sky, and every soldier who survived this battle was blessed with the ability of the eagle eye perspective.
What does this mean, it’s as if the Sun Goddess blessed over two thousand knights and soldiers all at once.
Even an armed attendant, Apprentice Knight, just by devoutly believing in the Sun Goddess, can gain divine magic that only elite knights in other territories could obtain. Basically, it means that these people have limitless prospects, as long as they continue to fight, even relying on divine grace, they can be pushed to the rank of official knight and beyond. Moreover, it can be determined that the Sun Goddess will be extremely generous to these people, these followers will, like the followers of Reya from the Dawn Church, generally obtain the first divine magic at the official stage.
With such abundant divine grace, Su Li decisively offered the Fiery Sun Triumph Prayer that Rong’en had already prepared for him.
"Master of the Scorching Sun, God of Tactics and Strategy, Her Majesty Violet!"
You forge our armor with the sun wheel,
Tempering the backbone of the people with the flames of war!
See how the broken Beastman battle banner soaks in the red sand,
Hear the wailing of the retreating Dark Hoof!"
As his prayer was proclaimed, the attached cultivators simultaneously blew the deep horn, playing a magnificent holy hymn.
All the knights raised their swords to eyebrow height in unison, the blade surfaces reflecting vast amounts of sunlight towards the holy image.
"We shield ourselves with the Dawn Oath You bestowed,
And cleave the evil land’s dark clouds with the quenched sacred pattern!
Holy Lilies bloom the seventh petal on scorched earth,
Larks herald news of victory from the dragon’s defeated claws!"
"Here we offer the wailing canopy of the poisoned Kunos,
