"However, they betrayed the Roman Empire with despicable means! They brutally killed our compatriots, who are still crying in unknown places. What does this mean? There is no need to explain it now! The Jews want to destroy the future of the Roman Empire! They want to drag everyone in the empire into an unpredictable hell! Otherwise, they would not have to go to such lengths!"
The silver-haired boy shouted loudly.
"As you all know, I will crush them all with mercy. I will bear all the bad reputation."
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!"
The Roman soldiers on all the warships raised their war cries as if to show their strength.
Then Novia continued:
"My name is Novia. I am commanded by God to eradicate the heretics and crazy beasts who borrowed my name. In this way, I will give this hell its only relief. I will bear all the sins—"
"Doro Bar Kochba, sinner, your true name is Antichrist, Baal, the enemy of the Lord. I declare again in the name of the Lord that Jerusalem is beyond redemption and the Jews outside Jerusalem must be expelled. But before that, you must cleanse your sins and come before me to acknowledge that the Savior Jesus Christ is the true Messiah. Only then can you leave when the Lord's mercy will appear again."
The gun raised in Novia's right hand gathered blue-black light and pointed directly at the coastline not far away.
The dragon of Albion, full of magic.
"Lord, have mercy on this soul."
Gathering the ether that permeates the atmosphere, the dragon's roar advances in a straight line, but this is not the miracle of saintly salvation that divides the sea.
This is the storm that announces extinction, which is also the signal for war.
Suddenly, a pillar of light came, as if to burn the sky and the earth, causing the Jews stationed on the coastline of the Jewish province to scream in pain. A vortex of fear swept across the entire coastline, like a tsunami approaching the land, silent at first, and then evolved into a huge wave that swallowed everything.
The rebels were simply unable to use the magic weapons they had deployed to stop the landing of the Roman warships, not to mention that they had a boarding bridge equipped with giant iron nails at the bow, crossbows at the four corners of the deck, and shields and battlements on the tall bridge for archery to suppress them.
Afterwards, in the eyes of these people, the man in the distinctive white clothes was like a warrior from the legendary Age of Gods.
In just a few seconds, he killed hundreds of people, the man running as if he was cutting through an array, as if the battle itself was overwhelming for him.
The Jewish rebels recovered from their panic and immediately regained their composure. After all, there were 400,000 of them, four times the number of the Romans on the opposite side, and they focused on Novia, who was also participating in the war as a commander.
"Kill him! He's that damned Christian man!"
"Despicable person!"
"The Messiah has come to earth, and our future is bright!"
"But there are only these people. Everyone charge. Kill them!"
Novia just smiled at the endless enemies in front of him.
"It's time to settle your mistakes."
The fact that was announced lightly was accompanied by a certain heavy weight.
A terrible massacre unfolded. Holding the blue-black spear in his hand, Novia quickly killed the enemies. The word "invincible" was not enough to describe his heroic fighting posture wielding this weapon.
"Remember this. You can also use some coercion. Here you go."
The voice of the Albion Dragon rang out in Novia's heart, and then the enemies within a few kilometers knelt on their knees and knocked their heads on the ground.
As if they were kneeling down to the silver-haired boy, the Jewish rebels fell to the ground in an instant.
Novia pulled out the gun covered in blood, and without paying any attention to the other party's surprise, he swung the gun vigorously.
The enemy closest to him was shot dead and his head flew out and fell into the sea of Jews.
"Everyone listen up, leave no one behind."
039: Killing one is a sin
Every inch of the coastline of Judea was soaked in blood.
Later, this matter was discussed throughout the Roman Empire for a long time.
The magic power was like the blazing sun in the sky, the wrath of God that humans could not defy, coupled with the punishment brought down by the empire's army.
Without mercy, yet full of love—
Just to completely exterminate the Jews who foolishly rebelled against the empire and God.
In the past, if 400,000 people disappeared at one time, everyone who heard about it would probably be more or less sad, but in view of the brutal massacre that took place in the province of Judea not long ago, most people in the Roman Empire did not say much.
Just said in unison:
"They set out to fight the Jews, dealing mercilessly with these mad men, without hesitation or mercy."
Jerusalem.
"All dead? A bunch of losers who couldn't even defeat the dirty Romans. So they died. It's been so long and not even the lowest level of dead have appeared... This shouldn't be right."
In the First Temple of the Magic Workshop built by the Magic King Solomon in the past, Dora, who was hailed as the "Reappeared Messiah", listened to the news of the defeat on the front line reported by his subordinates with an indifferent attitude.
"So many people have died, but those damn corpse monsters didn't take the opportunity to fan the flames. It's really strange. I have specially built such a good foundation for them."
What Doro didn't know was that at the same time that Novia asked Emperor Claudius to order a siege on the Jewish province, he also contacted the 27th Patriarch, Kobek, and asked him not to let any Dead Apostles enter the Jewish province where blood was flowing, even if they were Dead Apostles from the same ancestor.
"By the way, what did the people from the Burial Agency say? When I asked them to behead Novia, what was their response?"
"...Lord Narubalek said that this is an internal dispute of the church, so he does not intend to intervene..."
"Oh, you didn't even obey the orders of the true Messiah? It seems that there are still too many heretics in the world. God had no choice but to let me reappear."
Duo Luo smiled coldly, and after a while, he asked his men again:
“Jerusalem, how many people are there now?”
"Because of the Romans' ruthless killing, many people have been rushing to the Sanctuary. Currently, there are about million people, which is almost reaching the limit."
After killing all the Jewish rebels on the coastline in the Battle of Novia, they divided their troops into three groups and attacked from all four directions, and finally gathered in Jerusalem for a decisive battle.
"That's enough. You can use some as firewood." Dora sat in the hall and waved his hand. "Within one day, find out who has not killed Romans or other races. Ask them to cut off a finger to show their determination. Also, ask the old, weak, sick and disabled to gather in the temple. This is the order of the Supreme Messiah."
"Yes, Supreme Messiah, we will do everything you say at all costs. Under your leadership, we will eventually eliminate all inferior people except ourselves!"
After a while, Dora stood up from his seat with an expressionless face, and after walking through the passage under the temple, he arrived at an exceptionally spacious space.
Jerusalem, this sacred place that has existed since the Age of Gods, is shrouded in layers of barriers. It is a sanctuary supported by enormous magic power, an invisible guardian that is powerful enough to deceive the forces of nature... Why was it conquered by the trashy Romans in the past?
Causing his noble God-chosen people to be bullied?
It was not because the dirty Romans were too strong, but because they did not have the leadership of him, the true Messiah, at that time. That's what Doro thought.
The Age of Gods has passed, and all the Jewish magicians' magical powers are no longer able to fully deploy the defense of the entire holy city?
Are you kidding me? Isn’t human life the best magic?
Moreover, Dora, who occupied Jerusalem, also discovered the corpse of the Magic King, which was undoubtedly the best "firewood", but he also discovered an unknown distorted magic power aggregate that was slowly being born in what looked like mud.
Although the magicians who followed him did not understand the true nature of the sludge, they still suggested destroying the 'sludge' as much as possible.
However, Doro was very interested in it and said:
"I am the Messiah. Even if the Magic King is alive, he must obey me!"
A few magicians opposed this, so Dora killed them all along with their families.
Afterwards, the distorted magic power was transferred to Dora, who claimed to be the Messiah. Not only that, he even used the magic power of human lives and the remains of the Magic King as feed to gradually increase his own strength.
"Only 30,000 people? It's not bad. In order to make the glory of the Messiah come, since they are all loyal believers of God, we should use them more effectively."
Night has come, and the abyss opens its mouth wide.
The thirty thousand people that Dorcas had ordered to search for were in the deepest part of Jerusalem, a place not illuminated by light, a veritable garden of darkness.
Duo Luo smiled happily and cast his peaceful gaze on countless people, just like admiring a cherished treasure or caressing a pet with love and caress.
"Everyone, you will soon achieve glorious value."
"This is but a trifle in the face of the greater cause of revenge against the lesser creatures. There are still too few men."
"But because all you have done will be necessary for the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, I, the Messiah, am extremely grateful to you."
As the man spoke, the 30,000 people who had been bewitched by him and fallen into extreme madness before they came in began to kill each other. People killed each other in the shadows with pious looks on their faces, and then died one after another.
"Rejoice and cheer as much as you can. Even ordinary people like you can be of some use to the Supreme Messiah."
Then, Dora's body oozed with twisted magic power and he uttered a slightly distorted voice.
"How dare you say that I'm the Antichrist, the enemy of the Lord, hahahahahahaha..."
"I am the anointed one, the unforgivable heretic Novia. When you arrive in Jerusalem, I, the Messiah, will make you experience a more painful punishment than Jesus who betrayed us!"
040: Have I gone crazy?
Southern Province of Judea.
Under the attack of one-third of the Roman legions led by Nero, the area controlled by Doro bar Kokhba continued to shrink. Facing the absolutely overwhelming force, it was useless for the Jews who believed that the "Messiah" had come to be fearless.
Village after village was razed and castle after castle captured, but the resistance the Roman legions faced only grew stronger.
For example, now, Nero, who is about to approach Jerusalem, has finally completely destroyed another castle. The moonlight has completely spread down, illuminating the dim and dark earth with some discernible outlines.
The girl walked straight past the collapsed city gates and shattered fortresses. The sound of rubble rolling down echoed among the empty buildings and streets.
Earlier, the Jewish defenders of the castle, seeing no hope of escape, fell into complete religious madness. They firmly believed that this was "God's will and they were bound to die."
When the Roman army opened the city gates, they saw a hellish scene. The Jewish resistance fighters burned down all the buildings, and all the defenders, regardless of gender, age or status, committed suicide collectively.
Because of the doctrine, Judaism prohibits suicide, so they draw lots to help others commit suicide, that is, the husband kills the wife, the wife stabs the husband. Children kill the elderly, I stab you, you stab me before you die.........The last person committed suicide by taking poison.
This is normal, because at this time, the Jewish rebels and the Roman legions were already fighting to the death. After breaking the city, the Roman army would retaliate against everyone. In turn, the Jews would not leave any Romans or Roman prisoners alive. Some people claimed that "the nostrils of their horses were flooded with blood."
"Sir, we have discovered another cave dug by the Jews underground. Do you want to use magic to burn it all up?"
"Yes, let the magician accompanying the army use magic to clean it up, no matter if there are people inside or not, no matter where it is."
As for the cave that had been bothering her speed all the way, the blonde girl just gave orders indifferently, even though there was a high probability that there were luxury items inside, including glass tableware, a dressing mirror in a suitcase, a wooden jewelry box, and a spatula.
"Burn everything. There's no need to keep anything."
However, the same thing happened to the other two armies. But before long, Nero's army would gather in Jerusalem with the other two armies for the final decisive battle.
Speaking of which, Nero always felt that something seemed to be sprouting in the direction of Jerusalem since some time ago, which seemed to make her extremely interested, but she had an indescribable feeling.
From the time when the Jewish province revolted until now, the population of the entire eastern coast of the Mediterranean has been almost disrupted. Entire villages of Greeks, Jewish settlements and Roman colonies have disappeared from the map. Countless skeletons, piles of death formed by adults and children, complete collapse, destruction and devastation of ethics and common sense, violence without mercy, and what has been decomposed are blood, flesh and bones, which are made of exactly the same substances.
According to magicians who followed Nero's team, during the southern campaign led by Nero, 46 Jews were killed and 568 fortified towns and villages were razed to the ground.
The blonde girl was walking on a bloody road, and until now, her killing had not wavered in the slightest.
The corners of his mouth were slightly twisted, showing a smile.
It is both an unquestionable trust and an expression full of morbidity.
This is because before the Roman army was divided into three, her teacher who had taught her for many years, the supreme commander of this time, said to her:
"Nero, you are going to bring tranquility, peace, joy, and happiness to all the people of the empire. I think you have already got that courage."
Novia did not use coercive words, as if she was persuading a young child.
"It is because you are Nero that I say this to you. Go and crush all the heretics you see. This is also for you, Nero."
He smiled again.
At this moment, beside her revered teacher, the blonde girl felt many emotions in her heart as she heard him say that, including pride, respect, joy, and some memories.
That was before the rebellion was suppressed. Because I was too close to Novia before, my mother felt that it was dangerous and told me something desperately.
The reason you have a headache is because you have been ingesting poison since you were a child, it was her in the past and now it is Novia.
At that moment, the girl's thoughts were normal and her feelings were calm.
The heart accepts everything truthfully, as clear as the surface of a still water, without a single ripple, without any confusion, without any anger, and without any dissatisfaction.
It's just a matter of 'I see'.
...No, that's not right. Why? Could it be that I am abnormal from the beginning, or is it that -
Have I gone crazy already?
Now the girl realized belatedly that she had actually been exchanged out a long time ago, and the anxiety she felt on the day she was abandoned as a child had also been exchanged out.
