Chapter 51 (1/2)

One night later, the orcs didn't come back. I don't know whether they gave up or had other plans.

The twilight of dawn wakes up the town, but at this moment, the former peaceful town has lost its vitality.

The ground near the dawn library is full of potholes, collapsed houses and scattered Orc bodies.

In the hall, Yan Chong had been exercising until more than one o'clock in the morning before his body's satiety disappeared. However, Luo Li and his wife had eaten the full table of dishes.

Therefore, Yan Chong can only use meditation instead of sleep, honestly continue to exercise mental strength.

Although there was such a fierce battle yesterday, after three or four hours of meditation, Yan Chong was full of energy and no drowsiness. He recovered completely.

There are several exquisite tents nearby, and the sound of steady breathing comes from inside.

Out of the library, looking at the numerous scars on the earth, smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Yan Chong could not help frowning.

”War, is such cruelty.” There was a flat voice in his ear. Yan Chong turned his head and saw that Meilin did not know when he had come to his side.

”But the innocent people will always suffer.” Yan Chong frowned and said.

”Yes, if the Church of glory had set up a church here before, perhaps when the orcs invaded, the priests would certainly help to dredge the people and let more people escape this disaster.”

”It is our responsibility to spread the light and expel the darkness.” Merlin's face was sad, but her tone was very firm.

”Why doesn't the Empire allow you to build churches here?” Yan Chong doubted.

Before that, he was very curious about the reasons for the drastic changes of a hundred years ago, which led to the decline of the Empire.

”Ambition!” Merlin's tone suddenly increased and two words came out.

”No emperor is willing to share his power with others. What he wants is that the whole empire, and even the whole endless continent, is under his sole control. ”

”Ambition, however, needs to be matched by strength. He didn't have the strength, so he made the wrong choice

”But,” Yan Chong couldn't help interrupting Merlin's words and retorting, ”the glorious church is a service to gods.”

”So why does the church pose a threat to the power of the human Empire?”

With that, he fixed his eyes on Merlin, as if trying to tell the truth from the false.

Merlin laughed and said, ”do you think our church is a group of people who are greedy for power?”

Yan Chong did not speak, still staring at each other, showed his attitude.

”Empires change from time to time, but the gods are eternal.”

”Who moved whose cheese first, that may be. As an emperor, perhaps he can enjoy the highest glory and power among human beings and do whatever he wants. But if we offend the gods, what we do is to uphold the will of the gods. ”

As the voice dropped, Merlin turned and left.

Yan Chong stood in place, thinking.

Just now, he had unconsciously applied some of the history of the earth to the endless continents.

However, he ignored that the so-called divine monarchy on earth is just a trick for the monarch to guide and play himself and deceive the people.

But the endless continent is completely different. The life span of the gods is nearly eternal, and the empire is constantly changing. Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, it is just a mole ant that lives longer and grows stronger in the garden at home.
