¡°Don¡¯t be troubled by false oaths, look for the only right path.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by the tyrant¡¯s lies, gaze at the glory of faith.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be bound by worldly prejudices, obey the divine call.¡±
The voice of the true chosen pope is not only the power of words, but also the language of power.
He was not only using persuasive words to persuade the most devout Cyric believers in the Habsburg army to rebel against their monarch, but also the real power that Cyric gave him.
This thunderous voice sounded directly from the depths of the soul, causing a large number of Spanish and United Kingdom officers and soldiers to fall into hesitation.
This voice sounded like the voice of the old pastor in the village.
What are we doing? Attacking the apostles of God and poisoning the holy city of God? !
Is it really okay to attack His holy city just because of the commander¡¯s order? Will my soul, like the other blasphemers, fall into hell and the abyss, as the village priest said?
The first important thing they do after they are born is to be baptized by His priest, and the last important thing before death is to confess to His priest.
For a thousand years, this god who emerged in Jerusalem has penetrated so deeply into the lives of Europeans, and the power he has accumulated is so great that, combined with ancient traditions, it instantly broke through the defenses of many soldiers.
"Long live God! Down with the tyrant!"
"For God! For the true election of the Pope!"
Several people around Ferdinand who studied the teachings of Cyric were the first to be affected by this "holy mantra", but he was not the only one who fell into this kind of trouble.
When he was in St. Peter's Basilica fighting with the important figures of his kingdom. Slogans against the Habsburg dynasty's treachery also appeared one after another on the battlefield.
A very small number of Sirik's devout believers almost immediately launched an attack on their former comrades-in-arms. However, their numbers were small, and most of them were besieged to death immediately.
But Ladislaus knew that the situation was not getting better, and more soldiers stopped attacking the Swiss. The purple air flow penetrated into their brains, making them unable to determine their position.
"You are guilty! Atone for your sins! It's not too late!"
"You are guilty! Atone for your sins! It's not too late!"
This cry about original sin no longer only comes from the true elect pope and the magic network, the Swiss also start shouting together.
Although the first batch of fanatic believers died quickly, the blood they shed inspired more purple energy, which penetrated into the seven orifices of every Sirik believer.
"I'm guilty!"
"I'm guilty!"
"I am guilty and I want to atone!"
Finally, large-scale defections began to occur, and the battle lines fell into chaos everywhere.
Not only did the attacks on the Swiss completely stop, the soldiers no longer dared to attack. Killing each other was the most damaging to morale. Soldiers who remained loyal to the Habsburgs nervously watched their own men.
The Swiss took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack. Several of the Habsburg army's salients built on steps quickly collapsed. His troops were driven down the steps of the Sistine Chapel at once, and in less than five minutes the little gains that Ladislaus had worked hard to achieve for more than an hour were completely lost.
"Go back down the steps and reorganize. Don't be afraid, everyone. Only a handful of people are being bewitched. I know that everyone is loyal to the Warlock Royal Family." Of course, Ladislaus cares more about the hearts and minds of his troops than a few insignificant advancing strongholds. .
"Pay attention to the color! People with purple eyes are the enemy!" At the same time, Ladislaus found the screening criteria as quickly as possible and responded. There are no purple eyes in the European race. Those who emit this kind of light The owner of the eyes must have different intentions.
Except for a small number of drow, the Habsburg Army has no one born with purple eyes, and these drow are now reliable.
"Pay attention to the color! Humans with purple eyes are the enemy!" This was the first time Jarlaxle saw the power of Cyric. He just leaned next to Ladislaus, protecting his monarch while passing on his words. .
??In fact. Not only the color of the eyes, the air exhaled and the blood flowing out of the soldiers who were affected by the legendary magic of the True Chosen Pope also had a faint purple tint.
Compared to the Spanish army, the United Kingdom restored order relatively quickly.
The proportion of Cyric fanatics and devout believers in Ladislaus's army was not high. After receiving orders from officers at all levels, the soldiers responded not only based on the color of their eyes and breath, but also based on their past words and deeds.
In fact, people who are affected by the "Holy Mantra" must have traces of it on weekdays. There is a Bible under the pillow, or they must go to the priest in Sirik to confess every weekend, in the towns on the march. If there is a church in Sirik, you can pray in that direction.
Most of the comrades can still know which brothers they are, but they will not be able to control themselves at this time.
And after retreating a little, the purple color in some people's eyes also faded, and the influence of the "Holy Mantra" is obviously decreasing with the true election of the Pope as the center of the circle.
"We are soldiers of the great Holy Roman Empire and children of the Knights of Vision!"
The priests and fanatical believers of Barbarossa in the United King's Revolution played the mainstay role at this time, and they spontaneously fought for faith.
There were five to six thousand United King's soldiers who besieged the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Castle. About fifty people were successively killed by attacking their comrades behind the ears, and the same number fell into a delirious coma. .
But overall, after retreating for a while, the situation of the United Kingdom stabilized with the support of reliable officers and Pastor Barbarossa.
The situation in Spain is even worse. The proportion of defected and unconscious soldiers in their army exceeds 5%. Unlike the United Kingdom, some noble officers in the Spanish army are also affected by the magic of the true elect pope.
Not only were the Spanish troops driven down the steps, but several buildings were also recaptured by the Swiss.
At this time, the Arcane Corps, which had been maintaining order in Rome and the Vatican Castle, entered the Vatican Castle under the command of Fugger. The number of Cyric believers in this unit was relatively low, and it was far enough away from the Sistine Chapel that there was no large-scale chaos.
With the help of this force, Ladislaus sent a portion of Barbarossa's priests. The chaos in the Spanish army gradually subsided.
When Ferdinand and Baron Galliani, who had subdued the Archbishop of Toledo and killed the two court mages, walked out of St. Peter's Basilica, the situation had basically calmed down.
Although they have lost a lot of progress, the Habsburg Army still firmly controls most of the strongholds and main roads in the Vatican Castle.
But when Ferdinand and Ladislaus were exchanging information and assessing the situation.
The ominous voice of Medici¡¯s true Pope sounded again: ¡°For devout believers in God, death is not the end, but just the beginning of a beautiful life without sorrow¡¡¡¡¡±
In the Sistine Chapel, surrounded by a bright red crowd, Medici was shouting with a voice that could penetrate the plane.
Although Medici¡¯s true choice of pope is still the image of one of the most beautiful men in Europe, there has been a slight change.
There was a self-confidence in his eyes that looked down upon all living beings. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. That is the most cynical sneer in the world.
The most obvious change is the gorgeous purple hair. And the same color pupils.
Noble and gorgeous mixed with arrogance and madness, this is Sirik!
The bodies of the red archbishops around him have also undergone obvious changes, but they have not become noble and crazy. Instead, there are more gray hairs and wrinkles.
"For devout believers in God, death is not the end, but just the beginning of a better life without sorrow."
"How can we allow evil foreign enemies to ravage our homeland and desecrate our faith?"
"All my compatriots, stand up!"
¡°All my fellow believers, stand up!¡±
"Stand up! Stand up!"
The legendary magic inspired by the true election of the Pope by Medici and the lives of himself and many cardinals can not only make the followers of Cyric switch sides, but also have a more powerful second stage.
The purple airflow condensed downwards, turning into a substantial liquid that covered the floor of the Sistine Chapel, and then overflowed through the door. Rushing down the steps in all directions.
The purple water flows over the ankles of the living, filling them with strength, and soaks the bodies of the dead, allowing them to wake up again.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
The soldiers who had just died in the battle, whether they were Swiss, Spanish or subjects of the United Kingdom, whether they were devout or not, as long as they were believers in Sirik, all stood up again.
The lives of these believers have been exhausted, but their bodies can continue to be used by Cyric.
Nearly a thousand dead people, stimulated by divine power, let out meaningless roars, waved their arms that had been transformed into weapons by divine power, and attacked the Habsburg troops.
For Ladislaus and Ferdinand, this is not the worst, the biggest crisis comes to St. Peter's Basilica.
Three powerful enemies covered in purple suddenly walked out.
In less than a minute of one-on-one combat between Baron Galliani and one of his average-sized enemies, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
¡°That¡¯s Adrian VI?!¡± Ladislaus recognized that this enemy seemed to be the former pope who wanted to transform himself into a follower of Cyric.
Although he has changed beyond recognition leaving only a few traces of his life, Ladislaus will never forget the appearance of this enemy.
"Then the two next to them should be Julius II and Pius III." Ferdinand said the holy names of the other two truly elected popes who suppressed Frundsberg and Jarlaxle respectively.
He judged them not by their messy appearance, but by the family crests on their shields. These majesties now use their own coffins as shields.
In several battles, the strong men on the Habsburg side could not gain any upper hand. This was not because the skills of these real-chosen popes were better than those of the living strong men at the time, but because their fighting styles were very lifeless.
Their tactics are completely defensive but not offensive, but they are obviously different from Tony. No one can be sure whether their hearts are vital.
They suppressed their opponents and could spit purple flames from their mouths to burn nearby Habsburg soldiers.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Misrilla and several Spanish mages also joined the battle group one after another. Even so, they could not stop the three truly chosen popes from moving forward.
Although these truly chosen popes are not alive, they still have strong combat wisdom, and they can still judge the enemy's weaknesses.
Pius III suddenly forced Frundsberg to cut off an arm and launched a surprise attack on Baron Galliani.
Baron Galliani was in a hurry to deal with the real chosen pope in front of him. He was unable to dodge this sudden attack, and all of a sudden he was bleeding. Frundsberg once again played the role of battlefield rescue and dragged him to Oder Kessler. in front of my eyes.
Although he held on to the life of Baron Galliani, he also allowed several truly elected popes to fight their way into the Habsburgs.
For a time, purple fire was rampant, and within a few minutes each of the true chosen popes killed hundreds of Habsburg soldiers.
These truly elected popes led other puppet soldiers and the Swiss to launch a more violent counterattack, driving the Habsburg coalition, which still outnumbered them but had declining morale, out of the Vatican Square.
"These puppets must have a time limit. Should we exit the Vatican Castle first?" The seriously injured Archangel Florentino did not attack, but stood beside the emperor and Ladislaus to protect them. Several real elected popes The momentum is like a rainbow, but their state is obviously unsustainable.
But Ladislaus shook his head: "There is no need, the situation is still under our control."
