Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 122 The Golden Family, Commanding the Armies, Sweeping the World
Amid the Palestinian hills blown by the cold wind of late autumn, a floating cloud gradually obscured the sun and then slowly descended, appearing dull and solemn.

There was a man standing on the stone, his figure was like a solitary peak and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

He raised one hand, as if pointing to the sky, and roared like a gust of wind sweeping in all directions:

“Woe to the children of Ishmael! They do not know the calamity that is coming!”

Prophecies poured out of his mouth like a flood.

"In the far east, a monstrous flood is brewing. That is the homeland of the Huns and the Turks! A Dagar who is bound to cleanse the earth is growing up!"

"Today, that [Dagar] Temujin has shown extraordinary talents and is running across the grasslands to unite the various clans. When the flood accumulates, blood will flow like a river!"

"The Peach Blossom Stone Kingdoms cannot stop Him, the towering mountains cannot stop Him, and the vast land of tens of thousands of miles allows Him to gallop! Until the ground is covered with corpses!"

"The new Golden Family will lead the army, sweep across the world, and bring endless slaughter and despair!"

"Don't you know?"

"Khwarezm was humiliated and destroyed, and its blood made the land red!"

"The Mulayi people have been humiliated and their country destroyed, their cries will be deafening!"

"Ayyubid was humiliated and his country was destroyed, and the city walls collapsed with thunder!"

"The Abbasids were humiliated and their country was destroyed. Their former glory was gone!"

"The walls of Baghdad are falling, and tears are flowing like rivers!"

"The fire in the Palace of Wisdom is blazing, devouring the souls of Arabia!"

"Tens of millions of people drowned in the torrent of their own blood, and their desperate cries echoed in the air!"

"The golden law of Islam exudes supreme glory!"

"It will be broken into pieces and perish in blood!"

"No one will rule the borderlands of the Arabian Peninsula... only slaughter and sorrow will remain."

"From that time on, the descendants of Ishmael will be enslaved forever and will perish in a pool of blood..."

"Even eight hundred years later, the descendants of Isaac will be lifted up, but the descendants of his brothers can only be besieged in Gaza, struggling in endless pain, their cries are like a tearing wind, echoing in the ruins..."

Gellis's words gradually became low from the initial impassioned tone, as if he was saying that there was no escape from the tragic future.

It was precisely this performance that made his words so contagious. He firmly believed that what he said was the truth, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

It was this certain attitude that forced the people around him to think about whether Gaillis's words were true.

What Gillis said was indeed true.

Because the Jews are the descendants of Isaac, while the Arabs use Isaac's brother Ishmael as their ancestor.

If their myths are true, then they are all descendants of Abraham.

They are true brothers!
This person, you just can't think too much, if you think too much, it's easy to get into trouble.

【One doubt is foolish, another doubt is perverse.】

Therefore, the Imam was too lazy to think about it and ignored Garys's crazy words.

He immediately shouted to the people around him again: "This is just a rumor without any basis! Don't believe him! He is just a person who is making up rumors in the name of Allah. We will never believe him!"

After hearing what the bearded Imam in front said, the faces of the other Imams behind him suddenly changed.

Because what that guy said was actually a sentence from the Quran, from 23:38, and it was the words of a person who did not believe in the prophets of previous generations, and his end was to be punished by Allah.

I don’t know if this guy is crazy, why is he sticking a flag on his back?
Even if they also think that Garys is talking nonsense, they shouldn't label themselves.

One of the imams hurriedly took two steps forward and tried to pull the robe of the person in front of him to prevent the flag from being planted.

However, Gailis did not take the initiative to respond to the bearded Imam's words and did not say what to do next with this passage.

[The Prophet said, “My Lord! Help me, for they do not believe in me.”]

[Allah says: “It will only take a moment for them to regret it.”]

[They were truly struck by a roar that turned them into pieces, and all those who did evil disappeared!]

— Quran 23:39-41
Garys turned his head and looked at the bearded man with a half-smile.

"You have done nothing wrong, so why do you want to suffer?"

Some of these words make people feel uneasy.

But Gellis did not stop talking, and continued: "I should not have insisted on making you believe or not believe."

"But since it's like this, I'll tell you a revelation that's easy to verify."

"Next year, when Jerusalem is conquered, the cross on the Al-Aqsa Mosque will be removed!"

"At that time, the wind roared, the dust flew, and the city walls collapsed in the shock!" "The flame of faith burned in the night sky, illuminating countless lost souls."

"Islamic believers pray day and night to celebrate the most beautiful moment."

"In the years to come, those Franks who once claimed glory will sink in regret!"

“However, that was far from the end, but only the prelude to a new era.”

“God’s will will be accomplished, like a river flowing down its course, unstoppable. Yet He also says that the new kingdom will belong to the people, rising from the ashes, like a new dawn that will illuminate the nations.”

"The new nation that rises from the ashes is the ark for our generation. I will lead you to build it with your own hands."

Several imams nearby could no longer tolerate Gairis's nonsense and rushed over together.

However, to their horror, Gailis disappeared from in front of them in the blink of an eye. Just as they were looking around suspiciously, a new voice came from above their heads.

At some point, Gairis was standing on the wall of the mosque courtyard, looking down from above.

"Heh~ I made a prophecy to you, but none of you believed me. Not only did you not believe me, you even tried to beat me up."

"It's because I'm kindhearted and listen to my brother's teachings. If it were the Prophet's temper, you would have been in great trouble."

"Well, since you are not willing to listen to Allah's old revelations, I will tell you some good news."

"From this moment on, your lord is no longer Reynard!"

When Garys said this, the peasants were still confused. After all, what if this lord was not Reynard? Taxes still had to be paid.

However, the following sentence broke the calmness of the lake.

"Next spring, you will only have to pay the tithe once! All other taxes will be waived! No more head taxes, no more miscellaneous levies!"

Ah! For a moment, the people under the mosque wall were really stunned. If the previous prophecies were just interesting to them, then when Gairis said to exempt miscellaneous taxes,

It was like a dream. On the one hand, they really hoped that this would come true, but on the other hand, their reason kept telling them that this was nothing more than the crazy talk of a madman.

How could such a good thing happen in the world!
However, these dreamlike words have not ended yet.

The Franks on the wall were truly speaking words that the Arab peasants could not believe.

"From now on, the zakat paid by the rich will no longer be taken by Reynard's minions alone, but will be used to help the poor!"

"I will also personally donate one thousand gold dinars to open a school and hospital in Alhadi Town! The money from the class will be used to reduce tuition fees and advance medical fees for those who are truly in need!"

For the Muslim community, the meaning of schools and hospitals is not unheard of.

But that kind of thing usually only exists in cities.

Muslims in the city enjoy the glorious achievements of Arab culture, are able to learn knowledge in schools and receive treatment in hospitals.

But peasants? It was rare for them to have an Imam willing to tell them stories from the Quran.

But unlike Catholicism, even Muslim farmers are relatively not so extremely closed these days.

After all, going to Mecca for the Hajj is a religious obligation that adult Muslims must fulfill.

Even though perhaps less than 5% of Muslims can fulfill this obligation.

But it does mean that all corners of the Islamic world are connected by the religious obligation of the Hajj.

From time to time, there are some people who truly open their eyes to the world and bring information from the outside world back to their hometown.

This is also one of the reasons why Islamic culture and technology spread rapidly.

In addition, Imams are more popular than Frankish priests, and the cultural heritage of the Islamic world is indeed several levels higher than that of Europe these days.

At least these days, old Muslim farmers still envy the schools and hospitals in the city, knowing that schools and hospitals are good things.

As for the old Frank farmers in Europe, if you mention schools and hospitals to them, they will most likely look confused and have no idea what you are talking about.

Moreover, Muslims of this era are quite supportive of school teaching.

In their understanding, whether it is mathematics, geography, or even astronomy, they are actually necessary knowledge in business and trade, and the Arabs have long been accustomed to doing business.

As for religious courses, language and literature, philosophy and logic, these can help ordinary people acquire the knowledge to serve as a mullah.

You should know that in Islam, if you want to become a religious person, there is actually no certification agency...

Any male believer who has failed in the secular world can become a mullah or even an imam as long as he demonstrates the necessary religious knowledge and gains the recognition and trust of the community.

Medicine, natural sciences and the like are also subjects taught in schools in the Islamic world and have broad employment opportunities.

Gairis's words are exactly the limit of the bright future that Muslim farmers can imagine.

However, most people find it hard to believe; it seems too good to be true.

"You guys, still don't want to believe it?"
