Chapter 124: Let the Faith of the Dawn Bloom Throughout the Human Realm!
As the Dawn Knights strode proudly into the royal capital, taking over the defense of various locations,
the entire Bilka Duchy fell into the hands of the Dawn God Sect.
The Bilka Duchy was completely liberated.
Old Bilka, now a prisoner, had his legs broken. The Dawn Knights severed the tendons in the hands and feet of this traitor, crippling his knight's Dou Qi.

They trampled him and the remaining nobles of the royal capital, grinding them into the dust.
Base human traitors are not qualified to look up to the descent of a god.
After this battle, the royal capital, located on the edge of the battlefield, ultimately could not escape the clash between Ian and the King of Arrogance.
It had now been completely reduced to ruins.
Fortunately, the distance was relatively far, and not many people were affected.
But none of that mattered. The citizens of the royal capital had personally witnessed the unparalleled divine might of the Dawn God Sect, witnessed Ian achieving an unprecedented feat, and severing an arm of the King of Arrogance.
They witnessed the continent of Roderick begging Ian to be crowned.
At this moment, they were already kneeling on both sides of the road that had been hastily cleared by the Dawn Knights and covered with red carpets.
They were piously awaiting His Holiness the Pope to descend upon his loyal territory.
To bring them new hope.
Finally, at the end of the line of sight, a massive number of Dawn Knights marched forward with neat and uniform steps, dismounted, and stood on both sides of the road, leading their warhorses and raising banners.
In the sky, Watcher warriors also stood in two rows, holding simple horns.
When a huge Ender Dragon carrying Ian, still radiating a holy and gentle light, slowly flew in from the horizon,
the sound of horns and heavy drums resounded.
The sacred and majestic notes plunged this world into the solemnity of witnessing the descent of an epic.
Closer…
Even closer.
The Ender Dragon flapped its wings slowly and powerfully, and Ian stood on its head, holding a golden scepter.
Behind him were countless Dawn Knights led by Leyar.
Laxia and the others also held scepters, sitting on palanquins carried by Watcher warriors as they flew.
Then came Lily Ace, Rock, Fishley, and others.
At the end of the procession, three dragons that had temporarily joined the war grabbed the King of Arrogance's huge skeletal arm, following closely behind with the Dawn God Sect's banner fluttering even more flamboyantly above their heads.
As the Ender Dragon crossed the ruins of the city walls, the citizens of the royal capital, along with the Dawn Knights, offered pious prayers.
"Dawn Eternal!"
"Dawn Eternal!"
"Dawn Eternal!"
The sound waves were boundless, like never-ending notes, becoming more and more impassioned with the drumbeats and horns, and the sound waves of prayer became more and more loud.
The army stopped outside the city, leaving only Leyar, Laxia, Lily Ace, and others to follow Ian into the city.
They walked along the red carpet until the Ender Dragon's feet stepped on the royal palace, symbolizing the Bilka royal power.
Ian looked down at the sheep who looked up to him.
Boom!
The rampant demonic energy of the King of Arrogance's demon claw was sealed by Lily Ace and others with magic.
It was heavily thrown outside the city by the three dragons.
This claw was too big. Even after it fell off and shrunk, it was still half the size of the Bilka royal capital.
It was definitely impossible to move it in.
Moreover, this thing was a trophy of war and would be moved to the Origin Land to be a sculpture in the future.
However, if the demon king's claw could not be moved in, there were other trophies.
As Lily Ace waved her scepter with a solemn expression, the corpses of the Four Horsemen of Calamity were thrown into the royal palace square.
The music and prayers suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked up at Ian with fanatic faces.
Under the eyes of everyone, Ian slowly opened his mouth.
"Using the 300,000 demon army of the Domain of Arrogance as a sacrifice!"
"Using the Four Horsemen of Calamity under the King of Arrogance as a sacrifice!"
"Using the right arm of the King of Arrogance as a sacrifice!"
"I announce! The First Holy War of the Dawn God Sect is over!"
Slowly raising his hand, as if comforting all the people, Ian's tone was gentle and compassionate.
"The entire Bilka Duchy is liberated under the glory of the Dawn!"
"In the name of the Pope of the Dawn, I announce! From now on, the Bilka Duchy will be the land watched by the Dawn, renamed the Domain of Daybreak!"
"Using this fire of dawn to dispel the endless night!"
His palm lifted up, turning into a fist.
"Dawn Eternal!"
As the words fell, Leyar and the others led the Dawn Knights to cheer loudly for Ian.
"The Pope is eternal! Dawn Eternal!"
Looking up at Ian standing on the head of the Ender Dragon, recalling the many incredible miracles witnessed in just one day.
Lily Ace and the others always had an incredible feeling like they were in a dream.
First, Markov and the others used the miracle of the Dawn, with more than a thousand people resisting an army of 300,000 demons.
Then, with the help of the divine medicine bestowed by the Dawn, they defeated the Ring of Calamity, which was said to be unbreakable once formed.
The Undying Totem forcibly exempted them from death.
The potion amplification directly allowed Lily Ace to advance to a new level.
When they were plunged into the despair of this so-called god-level Beriel, the Dawn God Sect's assistance easily reversed the situation.
Not only did they casually make this god-level expert a lamb to be slaughtered, but they also crushed the fierce demon army like an eagle catching chickens.
But all of this was just an appetizer.
Until the King of Arrogance descended, in despair, they witnessed Ian creating an unprecedented miracle, not only defeating the King of Arrogance head-on alone,
but also cutting off the other party's right arm…
Let alone whether such a thing had ever happened before, the Hundred Clan Alliance had never even dared to think about it before.
Looking back at the huge and ferocious white bone demon claw.
Lily Ace and the others' hearts were filled with a mixture of trance and pride.
In comparison, the scene where the Seven Holy Relics of the Roderick Continent begged Ian to be crowned at the end seemed to be not worth mentioning.
Lily Ace and the others didn't know what to say. If they had to describe it…
It was just like Fishley said.
The Dawn God Sect has arrived, and the hope of the Roderick Continent has arrived.
It seems…
From now on, the Hundred Clan Alliance will truly enter a great anti-demon era called Dawn!
No!
Lily Ace looked up at the radiant Ian.
It's annihilation!
All demons will eventually turn to ashes under the glory of the Dawn!
Because God does not allow heretics to survive in the world!
"Offer praises to the Dawn and His Holiness the Pope!"
Lily Ace lowered her head and knelt on the ground. She had become a loyal believer of the Dawn.
…
The Holy War is over.
But the troublesome things have just begun.
The former Bilka Duchy, now the Domain of Daybreak, must be managed after it is incorporated into the Dawn's territory.
However, this kind of management is not as difficult as administering a kingdom. With the resource blessing of the MC world, coupled with the terrifying power of faith.
Coupled with the Dawn God Cult's mature White-Robed Pillar missionaries.
Before long, the Dawn Domain could exercise absolute rule in the name of God.
The difference between theocracy and human rule is qualitative.
The stability of theocracy, at least in the Rodri Continent, far surpasses the management of any kingdom.
Ian didn't plan to establish a theocracy in the Dawn Domain.
Firstly, this area isn't very large after all; building a theocracy on such a small piece of land would seem petty.
Secondly, establishing a country always involves many troublesome matters, and the Dawn God Cult doesn't have many available personnel right now, all of whom are pioneering generals appointed by Ian.
Thirdly…
The Dawn God Cult reigns supreme, exercising divine authority and controlling the faith of the Rodri Continent's people.
The coronation of any new king of any kingdom, or even the inauguration of any tribal chief, requires the Dawn God Cult's approval.
If the Dawn God Cult doesn't allow it, no one can ascend to the throne or the position of tribal chief.
A single word or sentence can decide everything, without having to be responsible for cumbersome and massive administrative management.
The dirty and tiring work is handled by the various countries granted royal power by the Dawn God Cult, while the Dawn God Cult only needs to quietly be the hope in the hearts of the people.
Isn't this more comfortable than establishing a country?
In the end, the less directly connected to secular money and power a faith is, the more indestructible it becomes.
In this regard, Ian's hometown can be used as an example.
The Shaolin Buddhist sect, which runs companies and engages in trade, versus the Taoist sect, which quietly cultivates in seclusion.
Which one would ordinary people be more willing to believe?
Besides that…
The King of Pride, having suffered such a great loss, can't possibly swallow his anger, right?
The King of Pride's strength is still to be feared.
Don't think that Ian previously severed the King of Pride's arm with a single punch and a single blade.
In reality, this battle was more about boosting the morale of the Dawn God Cult and establishing its divine might.
Objectively speaking, the King of Pride's loss is not as significant as the impact of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Berial's death on the Domain of Pride.
The arm is gone, but with his level of life, it can be regenerated after a while.
But the loss of usable and handy Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Son of Pride leaves him as a lone commander.
To replenish the high-end combat sequence of the Domain of Pride and create the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse again would probably take a very long time.
The Hundred Races experts who meet the conditions for transformation into the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are not so easy to find and kill.
Especially now that the King of Pride cannot descend in his true form, and his generals have all become sacrifices for the Holy War…
For Ian, he is not as relaxed and carefree as others see him.
Ian is injured.
It's just that the injury is not serious, and it has already recovered by now.
But in terms of Steve's one-third physique, this is already terrifying.
Ian can roughly judge that the Seven Demon Lords in their prime are slightly stronger than him.
But this gap is not far…
That is to say, as long as Ian fully activates Steve's physique in the Rodri Continent.
Without considering the King of Pride's magical means, in a purely physical confrontation, he can twist off the Seven Demon Lords' heads and kick them as balls!
And this part of the physique, Ian believes, will soon be available.
The large-scale construction after occupying the entire territory of the Principality of Bilka will inevitably reach the next stage of rewards from Amen.
So…
The Seven Demon Lords are not the main trouble; what Ian is more worried about is the Primordial Abyss and the existence behind the Seven Demon Lords.
Through today's battle, he probably also saw that, after paying a heavy price, the Seven Demon Lords can indeed cross the world barrier and come to the Rodri Continent.
It's just that the world's will of the Rodri Continent is not as fragile as imagined.
Especially the seven-colored light band at the end of the war, which is probably the Holy Artifact of the Rodri Continent.
The existence of the Holy Artifact supports the world barrier in the Hundred Races Alliance area from being eroded by the Abyss.
Based on this consideration, it's no wonder the Ancient Tree of Life was polluted in the first place.
If I'm not mistaken, the sudden appearance of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Fallen Son today...
Should have been trying to take the opportunity to pollute the Dragon Clan, just like they calculated to pollute the Elven Clan's Cup of Lament on Dragon Island.
In this way, the demons' goal is not the Hundred Races Alliance at all, but the Holy Artifact that maintains the world barrier of the Rodri Continent.
Today's battle can be considered to have allowed Ian to understand the key to many problems.
But for now, this is not an urgent matter.
The Dawn Domain has fallen into the hands of the Dawn God Cult, and what needs to be done next, the problems to be faced, will keep Ian busy for several days.
First of all, there is the trial of the nobles and the royal family.
The Holy War, under the banner of "Strike the nobles, divide the land," naturally must have a beginning and an end.
The construction of churches and the integration of faith in the Dawn Domain can be left to the priests of the White-Robed Pillar.
The great victory of the Holy War has made the Dawn God Cult stand in an invincible position; its debut battle is its peak.
Even if it's just this corner of land, just with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the King of Pride's claws as trophies...
The Dawn God Cult has already become a behemoth that the Hundred Races Alliance needs to look up to.
This is certainly a good thing.
But Ian has to consider the future.
The revenge and targeting from the Domain of Pride, and even the entire Demon Race, will inevitably come.
The Dawn God Cult has definitely become a thorn in the flesh of the Demon Race.
This is one thing.
Secondly, the reactions of the various races within the Hundred Races Alliance need to be noted; I'm afraid people from various races will come over during this time.
But they don't need to worry; no matter what their attitude is, after seeing the King of Pride's claws, they will at least be obedient on the surface.
What Ian values most is the Human Kingdom Alliance.
The situation of the Bilka Principality's traitors is definitely not an isolated case.
But how to identify the major forces of the Human Kingdom Alliance is a rather troublesome task.
Ian certainly doesn't allow traitors to exist.
But in the end, he can't really just arrest and kill someone because of suspicion.
Among the Human Alliance Kingdoms, there are still unwavering anti-demon forces.
After thinking about it, Ian can only think of one solution for dealing with the Human Kingdom Alliance.
In the newly built pure white hut on the site of the former royal palace, Ian's voice slowly came out.
"Let the priests of the White-Robed Pillar prepare."
"Once the post-war work in the Dawn Domain is over, immediately set off to spread the faith of the Dawn to the territories of all the surrounding Human Kingdom Alliances!"
Since he can't accurately distinguish the good and evil of the Human Kingdom Alliance countries, Ian can only choose the simplest and most crude method.
As long as the divine radiance of the Dawn spreads throughout the entire Human Kingdom Alliance, the vermin hiding in the shadows will naturally have nowhere to escape!
