"Deacon Xiao, my dear brother, I very much hope that you can serve as the left envoy of the Holy Religion." Zoroastrian Cult leader O'Kiri said sincerely: "Our friendship will be further strengthened because of this war."

"I'm sorry, Lord O'Kiri." Yang Yi said, "I won't object to you being the leader, but I am only loyal to the saint."

The Holy Lady and Yang Yi led the Persians to resist the enemy for more than two years, and finally won victory. The Right Envoy of Light, Okili, who fled Buzhou Mountain that year, was not idle either. Okili integrated the remaining forces of Zoroastrianism and used the Holy Maiden to

With his army to contain the Turkic and Bavender enemies, he took these people along the Lezhu coast to the small kingdom of Ahmatis.

Ahmatis is also a Persian-dominated country, and it is a Japanese Persian. As the leaders of the Japanese Zoroastrian religion, Okiri and his family have always been very influential here.

Okili is much stronger than Yang Yi. Not only is he superb in martial arts, he is also a high-level compound talent, proficient in maneuvering and fighting. After Ahmatis rested, Okili led the people who were loyal to him and returned to the war.

A highland battlefield that turned into a pot of porridge.

But O'Kiri did not let his forces join the Saint's Resistance Army. At this time, no one could suppress the brilliance of the Saint and the Holy Fire War God Yang Yi. O'Kili relied on his advantage in relative strength to start liquidating thousands of Japanese people.

Enemies for many years - the Moon Clan.

If we only look at personal martial arts, Guangmingzuoji Salamon is on par with Okili in martial arts, but in terms of overall ability, he is not as good as Okili. Salamon is not as sinister as Okili, nor is he as good as him.

Leadership qualities and integration abilities, and the population of the Yue people is far inferior to that of the Japanese people.

Salamon was neither willing to seek refuge with the Saint and Sheep Yi, nor could he receive external support. He was truly surrounded by enemies on all sides.

The resistance army led by the Holy Lady repulsed the Turks. Okili also took this opportunity to completely destroy the Persian Moon Clan and defeated Salamon, the left envoy of light. The Holy Lady Legion defeated the Bawende puppet army steadily.

Okiri took the opportunity to steal the retreat of the Bawende Kingdom.

The Turkic Seljuks were defeated by Sheep, and the Sultan was captured alive. The arrogant Seljuk Empire faced embarrassment from all sides. Okiri forced the Bavund Kingdom, which was dominated by the Japanese, to reach a reconciliation with Zoroastrianism.

Okiri rebuilt the Zoroastrian altar in Yazd, proclaimed himself the leader, and was the first to mark the status of the holy religion.

The Kingdom of Bawund promised to acquiesce in the development of Zoroastrianism among the Persians, and Okiri also promised to use the influence of Zoroastrianism to make the Persian people obey the rule of the Kingdom of Bawund.

Buzhou Mountain has turned into scorched earth. The Holy Fire Temple complex on the summit was burned into ruins by the Turks using the inexhaustible local fire oil. The entire mountain was burned, and it no longer has the ability to become a holy mountain again.

condition.

Moreover, Buzhou Mountain is too high, and the peak is covered with snow all year round, making life miserable and cold. If there is a huge empire to support it, it will not be a big problem to set up the altar on Buzhou Mountain, such as during the Sasanian Dynasty.

But in the five hundred years since the Persians destroyed the country, life on Buzhou Mountain has been really hard. It costs five bags of rice to transport a bag of rice to the top of the mountain, and it is very easy for the enemy to surround you on the mountain.

Therefore, this time Buzhou Mountain was destroyed and the altar was rebuilt in a densely populated plain, it became a natural thing, and it had long been considered by the core of Zoroastrianism throughout the ages.

Okiri slightly reorganized the high-level structure of the Zoroastrian Cult. He became the leader of the cult, with left and right light envoys under him. There were almost no other changes, except that he completely purged the Moon Clan's forces from the Zoroastrian Cult.

The eldest son Euclid died, and Euclid, the second son of Euclid, served as the right envoy of light, and the position of left envoy of light was a bait for Yang Yi.

Okiri knew very well that although the Holy Lady was nominally the leader of the Persian resistance, she was essentially a totem on Buzhou Mountain and only played a role of faith. All combat strategies and actual leadership of the resistance were the same as Sheep One.

Okili rebuilt the altar, and the Holy Lady was the last step in his thorough mastery of Zoroastrianism. To achieve this goal, he could not avoid Yang Yi, who had a great influence on the Holy Lady.

After more than two years of war, the Saint has unparalleled appeal among the lower-class Persian people. She is also the goddess of light worshiped loyally by the lower-class Zoroastrian followers.

Okili must continue to let the saints make totems and statues in the temple, because the huge population at the bottom is the foundation of all undertakings.

However, after more than two years of war, the Saint is no longer a virtual totem that the believers could only look up to, but has become a real holy flame of light, and her influence is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Okiri must completely control the saint this time and let her be at his mercy within the Zoroastrian structure, becoming a superior seal.

Of course, Yang Yi and the Holy Girl would refuse, and Oujili's hard-working dog could see it. But even if they refused, Yang Yi and the Holy Girl also encountered difficulties.

What to do now?

War is difficult, but even more difficult than war is construction. Where to go after the war is a practical problem faced by all resistance soldiers.

If Yang Yi and the Holy Maiden established another Zoroastrian altar with their legions at this time, and competed with Okili's altar in Yazd, they would be able to do it, and even establish a national government with this armed strength.

But in this case, we have to continue fighting, and fighting is not only a matter of fighting on the battlefield. In fact, the past two years have made Yang Yi and Shengnu exhausted by logistics, organization, personnel and other matters. Neither of them is good at these.

Moreover, people's hearts are tired of war, and those who follow the Saint need the Saint and Sheep Yi to lead them to rebuild their homes and lead them to have food, drink, glory and wealth.

But the saint and Yangyi are powerless to do these things.

Yang Yi can lead the Persians who only have the choice between life and death to charge into battle, and can lead them to victory in battles, but he cannot lead them to live a life of masters after peace.

The saint can unite people's hearts in times of crisis, but she cannot give them gold, manor, or women after the danger is over.

Saint Maiden and Sheep Yi can't do this, and they have no interest in fighting for power. But Okili is very interested, and he can do it.

The Persians who laid down their weapons left one after another, and even Euclid, who had fought bloody battles together, returned to his father Euclid. With his ability, there is a high probability that he will take over the position of leader of Zoroastrianism in the future. In fact, these two

Euclid has not left for many years, it was his father's wish.

Even many pharaohs and attendants from the Holy Lady Temple went to defect to Okili. His tactics and seduction were indeed very powerful.

In the end, there were only about 400 people left around the Holy Girl and Yang Yi. Although they were a little helpless, they had what they wanted. The ideals of the Holy Girl and Yang Yi were like mandarin ducks and butterflies flying together.

When we were young, we were a couple of heroes who let themselves go.

But in the end, all four hundred people could not be retained. The leader of the Zoroastrian Cult, O'Kiri, fell out. He led people to surround the Saint and Yang Yi, ordered her to hand over the Saint's scepter, and forced her not to use the Zoroastrian Saint again in the future.

act in the name of.

Okiri's idea is very simple. After getting the saint's scepter, he can just find any woman to be the saint. Anyone can do it. It's just a statue anyway. In fact, if it weren't for the prestige of the saint among the people,

If he hadn't been worried about provoking a civil uprising, he would have killed the Holy Girl and Yang Yi immediately.

Although the saint was very angry, she calmly handed the scepter to O'Kiri. In fact, she didn't want to be a saint anymore.

She also agreed to O'Kiri's conditions and resigned from the position of saint. As a result, more than half of the 400 people who followed the saint dispersed, and in the end only a hundred or so people remained.

Before leaving, Oujili asked Yang Yi: "Deacon Xiao, who are you? I sent people to inquire in Xiliao Kingdom, and there was no one named Xiao Tianzuo in their descendants of the Xiao family before. So, my dear friend,

Who are you? Where do you come from?"

O'Kili said: "I very much doubt that the civil war on the Holy Mountain is related to you. Can the mysterious Deacon Xiao answer the questions for your friend O'Kili?"

Yang Yi smiled and said: "Master Oujili, curiosity killed the cat, and it will kill you too. The world is bigger than you imagine, and there are many things that you can't understand, so it's better not to know."

Okiri laughed loudly: "My dear friend, take your woman and leave. Don't appear in the Persian land again. Otherwise, you will be the cat killed by curiosity."
