"How is this possible?"

"The city gates are lost, and even Lord Harba has fallen!"

"Could it be that this is the city of broad-leaved leaves that the sky is going to kill me?"

Wearing a high hat and a white robe, Aesop's eyes couldn't help but shrink as she looked at the collapsed City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord Priest!"

"You have to save the people of the city!"

"yes!"

"Your Excellency!"

"The Great Dry Man has been killed!"

The nobles in gorgeous clothes sat around in horror and pleaded incessantly.

They were all big slave owners in the city, and they didn't usually do anything.

Situ's attempt to make the slaves free was no less than cutting the flesh of a knife on them...

And that's exactly what they think.

Therefore, they are the ones who are most willing to know that the North County army will enter the city.

It is precisely for this reason that they surround the priests, their faces full of pleading.

"The knights of the Holy See are fighting outside!"

"But the enemy's strength is too strong, and there are slaves as internal responses, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long!"

Priest Isolt raised his head, glanced in the direction of the city gate, and said a little helplessly, and a little gloomy.

"Lord Priest!"

"I can't!"

"We are willing to double the offering!"

"I just ask the priest to keep my foundation in Broadleaf City!"

One by one, the nobles saw that the priest Aesop was not in a high mood in the main battle, and their faces couldn't help but change greatly.

Aesop was a priest sent by the temple, and his inheritance was in the temple.

The broad-leaved city has fallen, and it's a big deal to change the city to be a priest, but they can't...

Their inheritance, and their people, are in the city of Koye.

Once the Broadleaf City falls, then all their centuries-old inheritance will be in vain...

"This... ”

Priest Aesop didn't want to fight for his life with the people of Zhibei County.

As the aristocrats thought, it's a big deal to change places...

However, the conditions of the nobles made him feel tempted again.

Double the offering, as long as you operate it properly, you will definitely have a lot of benefits in your pocket.

With political achievements, if you give some benefits to a few adults in the temple, you will have a chance to be promoted.

Such a deal is not a loss.

It's just that the soldiers and horses in Zhibei County are surprisingly elite,。。 If you really resist, even if you win, I am afraid that you will suffer heavy losses, and after returning to the Holy See, I am afraid that not only will you have no merit, but you will also have it.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the priest Aesop couldn't help but show a little hesitation...

The nobles watched the change in the expression of the priest Aesop, and their hearts suddenly understood.

The divine power and royal power of the Western Regions coexisted, and the royal power even had to submit to the divine power, which is what the world often calls "divine authority of kingship".

When the kings of the Western Regions ascend the throne, they must be recognized by the Holy See. Otherwise, it is rebellious and not recognized by the world...

It is for this reason that the royal power has always tried to overthrow the theocracy.

It is only because of the powerful relationship between the divine right and him that they have endured it until now.

The Holy See also knew what the kings were thinking, and they were constantly developing believers and improving their own strength.

The Holy See sent knights and priests to be stationed in various large cities, seemingly to protect, but there was no intention of surveillance.

Same bed, different dreams!

The face and the heart do not match!

This is the relationship between kingship and theocracy.

If Aesop caused heavy losses to the Holy See's forces for the sake of Broadleaf City, he would definitely be punished heavily when he returned.

Unless...

Unless the nobles can come up with chips that make him feel excited, or make the Holy See feel heart-warming.

"The city lord of Harba has fallen!"

"We will write a letter to the king and ask for someone sent by the Holy See to replace him. ”

Hami, who was dressed in a white robe, had an idea in his heart for a few moments.

"The position of the city lord!"

Hearing Hami's condition, Aesop's eyes lit up.

If he can win the position of city lord for the Holy See, even if it is a small loss, it is worth it.

You know, the Outlands have always been a city-state system.

The power of the city lord is very large, and to some extent it is no less than that of a feudal king of the Great Qian.

If he can take the position of the city lord in his pocket, then the broad-leaf city will be completely deified.

Here, tall churches can be built, people can be forced to believe in the great god of vitality, and countless power of faith will be born.

And by virtue of this merit, he will be promoted to bishop.

If there is some opportunity, it is not impossible to become a red coat ...

Naturally, Hami understood the plan of the priest Aesop. The discord between kingship and divine power has long been no secret in the Outlands.

Moreover, the exploitation of the people by the theocracy is even more serious, they want material support, and even the spiritual exploitation.

In the sphere of influence of the Holy See, from the little ones waiting to be fed to the gray-haired old people, they go to church every day to pray and contribute their faith to the gods on high.

It is for this reason that the people of the theocratic kingdom are a flock of lambs, and the priests also call themselves shepherds, but in fact, their lives are not very happy.

Moreover, Broadleaf City has always been their territory.

Here, they are all uncrowned kings.

If there is a choice, they really don't want the Divine Court to interfere. But listen, the shouts and killings outside, do they have a choice?

"Is that true?"

"The Great God of Vitality is above, as long as the Divine Officer helps us to defend the city, we will definitely support the Divine Commander to become the new city lord!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Remember what you said today!"

"If you dare to tease the priests, you will definitely be punished by the Holy See with the severest punishment!"

Looking at Hami, who bowed his head and saluted, his face full of humility, the priest Aesop's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction. But he still didn't forget to knock on the road.

"Don't dare!"

"No one dares to deceive the Vitality God!"

Thinking of the Holy See's cruel methods, Hami's body couldn't help but tremble a few times, and said with some fear.

"Humph!"

"I don't dare!"

Looking at Hami's frightened look, Aesop couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with disdain on his face.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Hami didn't dare say anything more. Just standing there, looking at Aesop with a look of hope on his face...

At this moment, a tall knight in one-piece armor fled back in some haste, and said in a hurried voice:

"Your Excellency!"

"There's chaos in the city!"

"The slaves have rebelled, and so have the Golden Lion Family!"

"There's chaos everywhere, and I can't handle it at all!"

"What!"

"How is this possible?"

"Why did the Golden Lion Family rebel?"

"Could it be that they have taken refuge in the Great Qianren? It is really ridiculous, if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different, how can the Great Qianren trust them?"

When Hami heard the knight's report, his eyes couldn't help but freeze, and he said in disbelief.

"It doesn't make sense!"

"Are you mistaken?"

"Your Excellency!"

"Please believe me, the Golden Lion Family has indeed rebelled!"

"Now Miss Ellie is leading the family's cavalry to kill, and many of us are dead at their hands!"

Seeing that Hami's face was full of disbelief, the knight's face suddenly turned red, and he shouted loudly with some dissatisfaction.

"Please don't question the honesty of a knight!"
