Chapter 2220 The Eternal Champion
The Astral Knight's request to visit the Cerberus Memorial Hall was granted almost immediately, and then the fleet left the channel and headed for the lonely satellite fragment.
It wasn’t until he got closer that Soshyan discovered that the “hilt” part of the memorial was actually the flight deck extended from the main body, and the narrow part below it actually fixed the memorial to the asteroid fragments. alloy column structure.
The main body of the memorial hall is actually the giant lighthouse-like structure above.
Accompanied by the neighing sound of the ramp descending, Soshyan, wearing ceremonial armor, slowly walked out of the Storm Bird. A group of little angels immediately sprinkled flower petals and played hymns, and the person responsible for managing this place The state church members were waiting respectfully at the entrance to the gate in the distance.
Entering the scope of the oxygen protective mask, Soshyan and others set foot on a road paved with marble. In front of the memorial hall is a rose square with many monuments standing on it, each of which is carved with a huge honor roll that reads People's names, and in some places, there are personal statues of soldiers and officers, people who were famous for some kind of supreme loyalty or act of sacrifice, and cleaning servitors can be seen everywhere wiping those statues and floors day after day.
No matter what it was like in the past, after the rise of the state religion, this place inevitably became a church with a strong religious color.
The main outer wall of the memorial hall is carved with a huge eagle emblem, with huge golden words engraved on it with sacred words about sacrifice, and is also decorated with rose patterns and scroll strips commonly used in state religions.
“Welcome, Chapter Master Soshyan Alexey.”
When he walked to the gate, a man wearing white priest robes, with a big face, a thick neck and a bald head, was holding a The middle-aged bishop who strung rosary beads bowed deeply, and the priests carrying censers around him also bent down.
"There is no need to be polite, but I am annoying you."
"There, your arrival makes this place more dazzling. We are very honored to receive such a great hero like you."
Soshyan smiled and raised his chin slightly.
“Let’s go in and have a look.”
The bishop immediately bent aside and prayed in a low voice when Velez passed by, followed by hundreds of Soshyan and the Astral Knights A soldier walked into this memorial hall, which looked small from a distance but was actually the size of a small battleship.
According to the bishop's introduction, the memorial hall is divided into thirteen floors, which is also the most common height and number of floors for the imperial state church.
The first floor is the lobby. The floor has been wiped clean enough to be used as a mirror. As soon as you enter, you will see a statue nearly ten meters high. It depicts a star holding a long sword and wearing a laurel wreath. The scene of a warrior warrior leading five compatriots to charge, while the crushed helmets and weapons were trampled under their feet, and a warrior fell to the ground with a huge sword leaning on his body, almost the same as his body High, the sword grid is shaped like the cross of the black temple, and words are etched on the blade.
The sculptor's skills are very superb. He seems to have frozen the scene he witnessed and then expressed it in detail. Just by looking at it, it feels like he is in the middle of the charge with the roaring war cry. , combined with the low war songs played by the surrounding brass trumpets, set off the atmosphere of the battlefield very well.
It can be seen from the carvings on the shoulder armor of these warriors that they all come from the Imperial Fists, so the identity of this leader is naturally obvious.
".The Great Sigismund."
The statues are mounted on a massive pedestal, engraved with the names of all Imperial Fists fallen in battle.
In addition to this statue, there are many auxiliary halls divided by glass around it, which display some cultural relics such as weapons, armor fragments, or records and documents, all of which are quietly in the stasis field. floating, resisting the erosion of time, and there are bright paintings on the curved walls and round roofs depicting fierce battle scenes, but it is obvious that they were added later, because there are many religious elements, basically It is no different from an ordinary Anglican church, except that there is no thick stained glass.
All the paintings depict saints and martyrs, and Soshyan sees Sigismund in most of them.
At one place, the warrior with a resolute and silent face stood together with the warrior holding a big sword, beheading the demon.
Elsewhere, he held a flaming sword and killed a twisted monster.
But Soshyan did not see any enemies who actually participated in this battle, that is, the traitors from the Luna Wolves. Probably the state religion erased the image of the traitors for some reason, leaving only demons and monster.
The behavior is understandable, but it can't help but make Soshiyang feel a little uninterested. At the same time, he also noticed that there was a small shrine on one side of the hall. In the shrine was a huge marble hand with intertwined fingers.
According to his understanding of the state religion, this kind of shrine has a unique function. It can often be seen in some special places, such as the database where the clerical nun is located. Everyone who enters Make an oath in front of the shrine never to reveal the secrets of the place where you are.
However, the symbolic significance of this thing is greater than the actual significance. Anyway, the bishop here did not ask Soshyan to take an oath, so he was too lazy to do this troublesome thing.
The soldiers were also scattered in the hall, some looking at the cultural relics and murals, and some looking at the names on the base of the statue.
“Looking at the records in the archives, it should be the Third Legion and the Sixteenth Legion that were fighting at that time.”
“This Sigismund is said to be the sword who never suffered a defeat. Holy”
“Why can’t we see anything from the Sixteenth Legion here?”
The soldiers were browsing and talking in low voices. Only one person never looked in other directions. From the moment I came in, I kept looking at the statue, or the person on the statue.
He was wearing the simplest armor, but he had the logo of a company on his body, and a helmet. He had a sword hanging on his waist and a sword hanging on his back. He raised his head slightly and stared at Sigismund, who was holding swords in both hands and roaring. Virtue.
After a moment, a sigh of regret came from under the helmet.
At this time Robin suddenly walked up to him, also looking at the statue of the legendary sword master, and then whispered:
"I heard that he has never been defeated."
The mysterious warrior replied:
"Yes."
"If you can compete with such an opponent, you will be extremely happy."
After hearing this, the other party chuckled and turned around.
"It's too early for you to say this, young man."
Robin watched the warrior walk out of the door, looked down at the sword at his waist, and A few days ago, he encountered this mysterious warrior at an unmanned training ground on the flagship. The opponent removed his sword in just ten seconds.
In disbelief, Robin launched several challenges in succession, and each time he was defeated more miserably. He even had to admit that the opponent's sword skills were still higher than Thor's.
But the other party didn't even want to tell him his name. The aloof Robin naturally wouldn't reveal this to others, but he learned from Ustad that this person might be the chapter leader. The helpers were hired from the White Templar or somewhere else, but even Ustad didn't know where they came from.
Watching the other party leave, Robin withdrew his gaze and returned to Sigismund.
“.Is it too early?”
At this moment, the priest Yazdan suddenly said something.
"All recruits, regardless of company, are required to submit a 10,000-word review of their experience 12 hours after the visit!"
As soon as these words came out, each of the recruits sighed but were helpless.
