Free Web NovelChapter 827: Chapter 94: The Grand Radiant Competition Festival and the Goddess’s Generous Divine Grace (Part 4)
Su Li successfully applied the Goddess’s military strategy, actively luring the enemy deep, choosing the battlefield most advantageous to himself, and achieved victory with overwhelming tactical superiority.
What further incited frenzy and excitement among the Sun Goddess Church followers below was that the outcome of the battle above perfectly aligned with their values of "Glorious War".
After gaining overwhelming advantage for his side, Su Li did not engage in meaningless slaughter of the enemy who had lost the ability to resist, but allowed Paulus to surrender, treating those who surrendered with respect.
When the victory was certain, the most radiant golden light erupted from Su Li’s body, and divine grace bathed him.
An innumerable number of Sun Goddess Church followers and knights cheered madly, believing it to be the arrival of miracles.
Then, under the protection of the golden light, Su Li slowly returned to the Goddess’s holy image, offering a sacrificial chess piece of legendary material, bringing unparalleled results.
At this moment, Su Li clearly felt the power of the Divine Chosen level, the ability to wield power was deeply imprinted in his mind like an instinct.
This gave him a higher-level understanding of the path of cultivation, ensuring his practice would progress by leaps and bounds. Just like a university student who already has a wealth of knowledge and academic reserves, taking primary and secondary exams would naturally be effortlessly easy!
Meanwhile, the armor on him also shone with a stunning brilliance, the dazzling golden light making it impossible for anyone to directly gaze. His exceptional battle armor had gained the characteristics of Celestial Kingdom Armament, with the integration of a large amount of legendary beeswax, its quality elevated beyond measure, directly ascending to Rare Level!
This was the Goddess’s most generous reward to him as the sacrificer and victor of this tactical demonstration, a grace far surpassing others.
Added to it was the new trait of "Steel Fierce Sun", if this armor is pierced by the enemy on the battlefield, its Rare Level quality would cause an explosive effect beyond measure, instantly killing more than a dozen Elite Knights without difficulty.
As the golden light gradually calmed and receded back into the armor, Su Li raised his warhammer high, shouting to the tsunami-like crowd below: "Knights, citizens, and distant witnesses! When the noonday sun burns the emblem on the armor, when the cold light of the battle lance pierces the morning mist, let us tear the sky with our battle cries— the Sun Goddess is watching us!"
The crowd erupted with thunderous cheers and applause, the excited knights clashed their metal gauntlets against shields and armor, echoing across the sky.
"It is she who taught us to measure the battlefield with the Sun Wheel emblem, to build walls with the Iron Code, to discern glory from madness with tempered wisdom! After three hundred days and nights of honing your armor, at this moment weaving golden manes for your warhorses, the Sun Goddess’s chariot is grinding over the stars— each beam she casts is a spear of judgment!"
"Those doubters once scoffed in the shadows, saying our worship of the blazing sun will surely scorch our eyes. But today let their eardrums be shattered by the war drums! From the Ogre Pass to the Claw Sea coast, all warriors bathed in her holy flame, shout out loud— how does the Middenheim snowfield melt? How do the Chaos Egg tendrils wither? Isn’t the sun-wheel branding on your armor the most intense answer?!"
In the fevered roaring of the followers below, twelve Church Knights carried the statue of the Sun Goddess to the altar, adorned with beautiful flowers, dazzling gold, and skulls symbolizing human purity.
Su Li shouted loudly: "Let the Goddess patrol our city, inspect our army, let the Sun Goddess witness the sharpness of our longsword, when the golden light crowns the victor, the sweat and blood you shed on Hesse territory will rise into a new dawn— because the Fiery Sun never sets!"
"Praise the Sun Goddess!"
With his vigorous call, the deep horns and majestic war drums sounded simultaneously, beginning an impassioned performance with a sacred rhythm of three short and one long. Meanwhile, the Lion Ring’s gate slowly rose amidst steaming heat.
The road to the Lion Ring opened, with red flowers and carpet leading directly to the most grand venue of this celebration!
Countless knights excitedly shouted, "Praise the Sun Goddess!"
Su Li continued to proclaim solemnly and excitedly, "Next, let us, the knights who smoothly made the cut, follow the holy image of the Goddess, ceremoniously parade around the city and then enter the thrilling arena!"
