Chapter 159: No merit and no fault
Time always passes quietly before you know it.
However, after the royal children began to become Templars, the orc kingdom reunited to build a fortress, and the assassinated Davout took advantage of the problem to take power for himself. In the blink of an eye, it was the summer of the seventieth year of the Age of the Gods.
That is, the sixth year after Liang Tian fell asleep, and the fifth year that Xiqi officially became a Templar.
Therefore, during this time, the tribe and Xihe experienced another election year. A full seven hundred more were selected to become the new blood of the Templars and Tribal warriors.
As a result, they weren't the only royal children to join the Templars. However, in the new general election, many children of the royal family and nobles joined the ranks of the Templars, and passed the test to become a glorious Templar.
However, although the number of Templars and Tribal warriors has increased considerably due to the passage of time, the Tribe and Xihe have also grown much stronger due to the recuperation of the past few years. But in the past few years, it has always been peaceful, and not a single war has broken out.
The orcs who had been on crusades were now like they had forgotten that there was a human kingdom in the far east. The two sides are just at peace and live separately.
"But this peaceful period cannot be sustained forever. The outbreak of a new round of war is only a matter of time. So, we shouldn't just sit back and wait, we should seize the opportunity and take the initiative to attack!"
After a five-year recuperation, the militant faction of the church, led by the witch Lin, raised its head again. The belligerent were tired of the peaceful years of idleness, and longed to launch another expedition to the west. Destroy the untrustworthy orc warriors on the battlefield and destroy the orc city.
So, the witch Lin came to the tribe's holy place in person this summer.
She met the archbishop who had been holding her back, and then she said to the archbishop's bell, "Orcs are an evil race of faithlessness, and bloodlust and madness are hidden in their bones, in their blood. How can we expect anything from these monsters?
This evil race should be wiped out of the world in one fell swoop. This is the mission of every servant of God, and it is something that must be done!"
has been a leader for so long, and the witch Lin also knows how to go online. Therefore, her words sounded righteous and righteous at once, as if those who did not do what she said were not worthy of being servants of God.
It's just that the bell as an archbishop is obviously not such an easy person to be bluffed. Don't look at her still young, like a little girl in her twenties, but it was she who conquered the entire Xihe faith without a single soldier.
So after the witch Lin said goodbye, she directly glanced at the witch Lin and said, "Do you think the orcs are really as vulnerable as you imagined?" That's right, your first expedition to the west did achieve a great victory.
But you must know that the reason why you were able to easily win the first western expedition was more important because of the civil strife that broke out in the orc kingdom.
Even the orc kingdom, with a population of one million, can only exert twenty-three tenths of its strength against you at most. So you won easily, and even wiped out a tribe of orcs.
But you don't think this success can be replicated, don't you know that the orc kingdom has long been united? They even worked together to build a strong fortress in the east, blocking the only way for the orc kingdom to enter and exit from the west, like a replica of Xiping City.
In that case, do you want to replicate the first tactic? That's not possible. And because of the First Western Expedition, the saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes, the three techniques given by our lord, have been leaked out by you. As a result, today's orcs have already learned and imitated it. So you don't have an advantage in this area anymore.
All of the above, do you still think that with just six or seven thousand more Templars and Tribal warriors, you can replicate the first victory?"
"No, Archbishop. I didn't think so. Witch Lin shook her head unhurriedly and denied, "Who said that this expedition to the west is just Templars and tribal warriors." Why can't we let ordinary warriors go west with us?
Ordinary warriors, though they have not received the blessings of the Lord and attained otherworldly powers like tribal warriors and Templars. But he also has devout faith and great courage.
Therefore, in my plan for this expedition to the west, in addition to the 7,000 Templars and Tribal warriors, I am also preparing to gather a total of 23,000 ordinary warriors from the tribe and Xihe.
In this way, a 30,000-strong Western Expeditionary Army was formed, so as to defeat the orc army again in the territory of the orc kingdom, eliminate the orc warriors, and destroy the orc city. Isn't that good?"
"Of course. I think you're really dizzy now!" Bell's face suddenly became more serious.
"Lynn, have you ever thought about the terrible consequences of your plan if it fails? If we fail, we will lose all the power to resist the orcs. At that time, whether it is the tribe or Xihe, the lives of all believers will be threatened. How terrible and dangerous it is.
So, you can save it too. It doesn't matter what you say, what you say. I won't agree to your plan anyway. What is needed now is stability, not radicalism and risk-taking.
Nowadays, the tribe and Xihe are in a prosperous period, and a large number of babies are born every year. The population of the tribe and Xihe is now growing, and if this trend continues, the total population of the tribe will exceed 600,000 in another 15 years, and the population of Xihe will exceed 2 million.
Therefore, defense can. But until I am absolutely sure, I will not let the church take the initiative to attack. ”
"Archbishop!"
Witch Lin couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she heard this. She got up from her seat and tried to argue again, but Lynn the witch waved her hand and didn't intend to argue with her any more. Therefore, the strategic policy for the next few years has also been set.
The cautious archbishop Bell decided that he would never take the initiative to attack the orc kingdom until Liang Tian officially woke up. And even if there is no credit for this, at least there will be no great fault.
There is no fault in the work, and strive for stability. This is naturally perfect for the bell, which has become the archbishop of the Church, which can be said to have reached its peak. After all, even if she has made any contributions now, her status will not be able to rise again.
