Pirate Kingship

Chapter 1113: Chapter 576: Justice Never Late, The Holy Spirit Who Saves at the Critical Moment_4

The reality was more or less as Byron had judged.

Richelieu glanced at the heavily painted Crown Prince and sighed inwardly:

"This sole heir of the Iris already had peculiar preferences, making it difficult to conceive an heir.

Now cursed by the Ghost Hand Dagger, it’s uncertain if he can pull through.

Without royal support, when can I finally, according to plan, dismantle all the noble castles within the kingdom’s heartland, assist the Royal Family in achieving centralization, and lay the foundation for Iris to replace the Holy Silver Empire as the dominant power on the continent to establish the first Empire of Iris?"

Although this Cardinal Archbishop was originally from the Orthodox Church, he was clearly an eccentric siding with secular royal power.

Breaking through the Fifth Order Legend was not achieved through the Bishop’s Authority Ring, but rather his own obsession.

From a fallen noble of Iris to his current exalted position as Prime Minister, he has always prioritized national interest above all else, not the Church.

But now, if Louis XI indeed encounters misfortune, and the Royal Family is left without an heir, let alone reigning supreme, they may not even withstand the next beast tide if it targets Iris.

He couldn’t help but feel somewhat disheartened.

By this point, the remaining members of the Knights Order had already rushed out of the secret passage.

As soon as they saw daylight again and the sailing ship docked outside the rocky beach, they barely had time to rejoice before seeing a naval fleet bearing the Iris flag already closing in.

A barrage of cannon fire shattered the swift sailing ship belonging to the Impoverished Knights Order into pieces.

Although Iris’s side might not be aware of the secret passage, with someone like Richelieu orchestrating, they were never going to leave them a chance to escape.

The opposing kingdom’s navy landed swiftly, holding flintlock guns as they closed in from both sides across the rocky beach.

"Kill, His Highness orders to retrieve only the Treasury Key, leave no one else alive."

The young knights were nearly in despair.

They drew their swords to form a circle, prepared for a final desperate fight.

Some even began offering their last prayers, hoping to go to Heaven after death.

But the leader, Rediaweike, suddenly knelt before the sea, raised his hands high, and pleaded:

"Great Lord, your loyal servant begs you to manifest your might, to prove to the ignorant lambs that you are the Messiah of the Luanyan Epoch.

The Impoverished Knights offer you our spirit, our blood, our everything!"

The others exchanged glances.

The existence of the creator was real indeed, but aside from the Messiah of a millennium ago, there had never been any divine miracle.

Could this really work?

Everyone silently posed a question in their hearts.

Yet at this moment, there was indeed no way out but to plead to God with no other choice.

They all followed the Chief Knight, kneeling on one knee, repeating his prayers.

Again and again.

As the distance to the Marines’ flintlock gun range grew closer, and the fierce pursuing enemies loomed on the cliffs, the knights’ hopes dwindled to the utmost despair.

Rumble...

The chaotic reef and gravel suddenly lifted, transforming into a smooth road extending from where they stood into the sea.

At this moment, the sea surged violently, retreating to both sides, forming walls of water on land, just enough to block the pursuers from either side.

It mirrored the splitting of the sea depicted in the Book of Creation, just like Moses!

"Miracle!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"It’s truly a miracle!"

The knights who survived their ordeal were too excited, their eyes turning red.

On the Golden Deer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sister of Mercy Teresa, held a Memory Crystal to record the entire scene.

These were genuine divine miracles performed by the Holy Spirit to save humanity, destined to be written into the new scriptures in the future.

The Royal National Church, having issued the streamlined "Thirty-Nine Articles of Faith," had, with growing strength, outgrown the role of merely leading the Protestant sect, aiming to position itself between the new and the old, just like balancing "divinity," "beastliness," and "human nature."

This gave them enough confidence to take on an independent third-party role.

Not only did they seize control over the interpretation of the scriptures, but even if they boldly penned two books... "Primordial Dao Awakening World Scripture" and "Primordial Dao Enlightening World Scripture," they remained true and genuine.

Indeed, the sole truth!
