Chapter 365: The Shattered Ground of Life and Death (2)
The signs and symbols heralding the arrival of the Millennium Kingdom were not limited to the "Scorched One." The Codex of Light had persistently gathered such information while advancing the Dawn Army, observing an increasing emergence of these signs as the Holy War intensified.
The Millennium Kingdom would not appear abruptly; instead, it would approach gradually, like the breaking of dawn.
The closer they moved toward the Holy Land Lua, the more Horhel was convinced that the gates of heaven would open wide to welcome them.
“Priest Horhel, the Sacred Fire is ready.”
A bishop approached with a respectful bow, presenting a brazier containing the sacred fire.
Officially, Horhel was nothing more than a wandering monk. However, the key priests and paladins saw him not merely as a monk but as the Pope’s Proxy, effectively leading the Dawn Army.
While the face of the Dawn Army was Dera Heman’s Golden Lion Paladin Order, it was Horhel who guided the priests.
Horhel lifted the brazier. Hanging at the end of a chain, the brazier burned with a blinding white flame, containing the light of heaven and the wrath of the Lighthouse Keeper.
His gaze turned to the Skull Tower.
