Damfries Cathedral is the largest church in Dumfries-Gavelly County and the most affluent.

Hobbes was the priest of Damfries Cathedral, and was also affectionately known as Lord Reverend.

Reverend Hobbes's appearance was no different from that of a priest at this time, with a Mediterranean-like hairstyle, a round face, and a kind smile, which looked trusting.

If there is any difference between him and other clergymen, it is that he has a pair of sharp eyes, and a flat belly, and if you look carefully, a shrewd aura emanates from the inside out.

At this time, it was originally the hall of the high-ranking meeting in the church, but at this time, there were young priests standing densely, and these low-ranking priests stood with bated breath, their eyes staring directly at the high-ranking priests in front of them.

The nine high-ranking clergymen with gray beards sat on specially set chairs, dressed in vestments made of fine linen, and sat solemnly, looking extremely serious.

As a result, the atmosphere in the conference room became more serious, and the sound of a needle falling on the floor could be heard, exaggeratedly.

The flickering candlelight lit up the entire conference room, and in this era of darkness at night, the consumption of wealth in it was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Priest Hobbes also sat solemnly in his own seat, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and it seemed that he was not in a very good mood.

The atmosphere remained silent, and as the candles flickered, everyone's mood became more and more tense.

As if thinking about it, Hobbes slowly got up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows the situation in Scotland recently, and the nobles everywhere are like a mad wolf, shamelessly attacking and plundering churches everywhere! ”

"This is against the will of God, it is blasphemy against our Lord, the great and all-powerful Lord, who will surely punish sinners!"

At the end, Hobbes's voice became louder and louder, and when everyone heard this, their morale, which had been somewhat depressed, was suddenly lifted and their spirits were lifted.

Seeing this, Hobbes glanced at it, and then nodded.

It is not up to Hobbes to use faith to boost morale, after all, the whole of Scotland is too abnormal for a period of time, or rather, the Scottish aristocracy has gone crazy.

Monasteries and churches everywhere have been frantically attacked by the nobles, a large number of religious property and gold coins have been plundered, and the original clergy can now only eat raw black bread and wear shabby cloth clothes, guarding the looted churches, full of bitterness.

As soon as he thought of this, Hobbs immediately shook his head, he didn't want to face such a scene, rather than this, it was better to fight directly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the Lord Almighty has been blessing and protecting us, we must still take positive action to uphold our faith!"

Hobbes waved his arms and said loudly.

"For God's sake, for the Lord Almighty—"

"For God's sake, for the Lord Almighty—"

…………

As soon as he finished speaking, the young priests shouted loudly, and immediately, the atmosphere of the entire conference room became lively, and a fearless momentum slowly rose.

After a long while, his voice quieted down, and he looked at the young priests with red faces, and a smile slowly piled up on his face.

"Priest, is there anything there in Rome?"

At this time, a tall and thin old man, who was also sitting in a chair, looked at Hobbes and asked softly.

Hearing this, Hobbes shook his head helplessly.

"Lord Blair, His Excellency the Pope of Rome has written to me, expressing his powerlessness about the current situation in the Diocese of Scotland, after all, the distance is still too far for the power of Rome to support us quickly!"

"What's more, behind the irrational behavior of the Scottish nobles this time, the young king of England has been behind it, and the power of Rome is even more difficult to support!"

After Hobbes's words were finished, the others shook their heads helplessly.

If they want to give up their current comfortable and luxurious life, these senior clergymen are reluctant to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift!

Therefore, the senior clergy, who had been holding hopes before, also strengthened their conviction at this time, and spoke one after another to express their support for the priest.

In this way, Hobbes united most of the church's clergy, and Damfries' Cathedral began to prepare intensively.

Young clergymans, walking from village to village and manor, agitated the ignorant and ignorant peasants to seek the support of the squires who were firm in their faith.

The gold coins in the church spilled like flowing water, which made Hobbes feel distressed, these were his money, and they were all his future wealth!

But, for the sake of what you have now, these are things that must be discarded.

At the same time, Baron Damfries's order also took some action, and knights and knights came to their fiefdoms one after another to mobilize their forces.

At this time, some neutral squires became the objects of their wooing, whether they were beliefs or interests, they were an important bargaining chip for wooing.

Some of them are left and right, wantonly reaping profits, and trying to stand on the side with the greatest interests.

Others, on the other hand, insist on the faith in their hearts, stand firmly on the side of the church, and are willing to give everything.

And there are some shrewd squires who are silently thinking about it, and in order to preserve the interests of the family, they begin to bet in batches.

For a time, the entire Dumfries-Gavelli county was in turmoil, and sensitive people were aware that war was imminent.

And at this time, the blood blade, which has been laid out in Scotland very deeply, has already known such information.

Of course, there are many such conflicts in Scotland at the moment, even bigger than this one, and it is impossible for Bloody Blade to focus on all of them, without so much energy.

However, the location of Dumfries-Gaveley is too sensitive, it is too close to England.

And Guy, the leader of the Bloodblade. Ham pondered and analysed carefully, and he felt that this coming small plunder was very different.

First, the entire Scottish aristocracy plundered the church property for more than half a year, plundered a large amount of wealth, and the church suffered heavy losses.

In this way, if the grievances have been held back for too long, the church will definitely not give up, and it is very likely that this incident will be used as a counterattack.

Second, in this plunder, Damfries Cathedral has always shown a weak side on the outside, but according to Bloodblade's investigation, the strength of Damfries Cathedral is underestimated, in fact, Damfries Cathedral's strength is even more than that of Baron Damfries.

So, in all likelihood, the Danfries Church will win this plunder, breaking the situation that the church has been beaten.

And the nobles certainly did not want to see such a scene, and repression was inevitable.

The Church will not be willing to be resigned to the suppression of this victory, and will certainly rebel.

In this way, this conflict is very likely to spread throughout Scotland.
