Chapter 226: A Big Event
"It seems that although I am not here during this time, you have maintained yourself well. "Richard is no longer simply satisfied.
Although the old white tiger said that one by one, it sounds like luck is dominant. But you must know that when he left, he took most of the combat power with him, leaving only a few dozen centaurs and a large number of civilians, and the entire Alpine Fort was very empty.
In this case, it is not easy for the left-behind personnel to maintain the shelf.
"You should be thankful to Mama Melissa, when we were short of troops, it was the elven guards who took the initiative to stand up and hold up half the sky. Buckland exclaimed, "The elves originally came here to seek refuge, but this time they have to bear so many burdens, and there are no complaints, which is rare. ”
"Definitely, definitely. The lord looked at the old white tiger's face rippling, wondering if this thing should have a second spring.
"If you have to think about something you shouldn't think about in your head, at least don't make it so obvious on your face. Buckland sighed.
As a pioneer nobleman, the Alpine Fort Lord's strength was undoubtedly absolutely over-specified, but in other respects, this naturalist always felt that he had not grown in the slightest.
"I'll also tell you good news, this time the master has brought back an entire Tiger Spirit Tribe, and it will be there in a few days. Richard forcibly digressed the subject, "All the things they need must be prepared first, equipment, clothing, housing...... I'll leave it all to you. ”
"I think you're trying to exhaust me, an old man. Buckland rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Those who can work harder. Richard cheekily snorted, not feeling any embarrassment at all.
There are not too many fierce men who can fight and kill in Takayama Castle, and the blood and tears of countless enemies since their debut have proved this. But if Gunther or Abu were to be left in charge of internal affairs, it would be a catastrophe that would destroy everything, and anyone with a modicum of sanity should try to avoid it.
Buckland could handle these chores, and Richard sometimes thought about it and felt that he was not bad enough to meet such a bad old man.
"Weapons, in particular, must be tightened by the craftsmen. There are too many bad problems that the tiger spirit has cultivated with primitive weapons, and the sooner he changes his clothes, he can correct them one day earlier. The lord continued.
"That's fine. Buckland nodded, "The ordnance business is too lucrative and eye-catching, after you disappeared with most of the soldiers, where do we, the old, weak, sick and disabled, dare to continue to operate, the output of the last few months has been stored in the warehouse." ”
"That's fine. "Before Richard returned to Alpine Castle, he was ready to deal with the mess. But once again, the reality was much more than he expected, and since the overall situation was still stable, he also remembered those things that were not so important:
"The mediation meeting should have been over a long time ago, right?
Originally due to the reappearance of the undead, the Church of Light tried to organize a mediation between Stuart and Pompeii. According to the original plan, Richard also had to attend the meeting as a representative of Pompeii.
However, he remembered that before leaving, there was still a month before the mediation meeting, and the calculation time should have expired long ago.
Buckland, who originally looked lazy and listless, suddenly became energetic when he heard this, and his slightly cloudy eyes stared at the Lord of Alpine Fort without blinking, and he actually showed a sense of oppression: "No! That meeting was postponed, and the resumption is far away!"
"Yes. Richard snatched a handful of melon seeds from the halfling cook who was passing by, and listened as he swallowed.
"You probably can't imagine how much has happened in the past few months!" Buckland said with a wry smile, "Although the Alpine Fort is quite peaceful, other than that, the entire continent is about to be completely chaotic!"
"What's wrong?" the lord didn't realize the seriousness and looked at each other strangely.
According to his understanding of this old man, he has always only swept the snow in front of his own door, how can he still care about the situation on the mainland for the first time.
Buckland sighed slowly, and his mouth was a bombshell news, which shocked Richard: "First of all, Pompeii has officially declared the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess illegal. The clergy of the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess are being expelled across the country, and all the churches have been destroyed. Now that the Church of the Holy Light has officially become the state religion of Pompeii, a while ago the noble court asked me if I needed to send a priest to preach, but I refused. ”
"That must be refused, we can't get into religion in a small country like ours. Richard frowned and pondered for a while, but after all, he didn't have a clue, "I have long heard that there has always been a struggle between reformists and conservatives in the upper echelons of Pompeii, and it seems that the reformists have won a complete victory. ”
"And. Buckland's face became more and more strange as he spoke,
On the same day that Pompeii issued the decree, Stuart outlawed the Church of the Light and expelled all the clergy. And accepted all the clergy of the Church of Ice and Snow who fled from Pompeii, and now the Church of Ice and Snow is the state religion of Stuart!"
"This ......" Richard was finally completely dumbfounded, and asked like a cannon, "What's going on? Two countries have played a religious exchange? Are you really joking?"
"How dare I joke with such a thing!" Buckland rolled his eyes in return.
"Obey!" the lord's face twitched slightly.
The beliefs of Pompeii and Stuart are deeply rooted in their respective centuries of history. Who would have thought that in just one day, each of them would run wildly in the original direction of the other, becoming the most hated appearance of himself before.
This is a drama that even the most absurd vulgar comedy does not dare to use lightly!
"You should be able to imagine how chaotic the situation on the mainland is right now. Moreover, this year's weather is abnormal, agriculture is not optimistic, and all countries are anxious. So I don't think it's going to be possible to restart that mediation meeting for a while. Buckland shook his head repeatedly, "But that's a good thing for us, and now the Noble Court doesn't even know about your disappearance for a few months." ”
"Mediation cannot be delayed indefinitely. Richard calmed down and shook his head gently, "The reappearance of the undead of that scale, if it is not handled well, it will leave a stain on the history books, and if your majesty does not give up on himself, it will definitely not be delayed for too long." ”
"But how long is it too long, a month, a season, or a year? Sometimes a small stagnation in history is a lifetime for us mortals. ”
"At most two or three months, that belated mediation will usher in a new day!"
"Alas...... Judging from the current situation, if mediation is started at that time, I am afraid that it will be a life-and-death struggle between several major powers. "Buckland is very worried about this, and he is not optimistic.
"Who knows. Richard smiled coldly, "But it looks like I've had to go to Coron City recently and ask Sauron about it." ”
