"A new holy war?" Lemon was a little surprised, he looked up at Luo Lan's face to make sure he had heard correctly. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】

"Yes, a new holy war," Luo Lan's voice was low, as if he was infinitely emotional, and then he stretched out his hand, nodded a few points on the hanging map, and said: "The dioceses of the Central Continent were originally in a state of stalemate, and they were attacking and killing each other, but they couldn't help each other because of their own constraints. However, Emperor Odiniel's move seemed inexplicable, but in fact it broke the deadlock. ”

Lemon took a few steps forward and looked at the map carefully, due to the limitations of age and experience in all aspects, he was never able to look at the disputes on the mainland with a global strategic vision, and at this moment, he was reminded by Luo Lan, and he seemed to understand something.

"This is a good move, the north of the central continent is threatened by Easton, so it will naturally be heavily guarded, but the dioceses close to the east and south have an opportunity at this time, they naturally do not want to go to the north to stir up the wind and rain, but take this opportunity to pull out the handle and fight for a greater space for their own interests, the changes in this are very subtle, from the map, my disciple, if you are the bishop of the diocese of St. Ayr, then where will your next target be?"

Lemmon looked at the map, and he looked to the east, where across a vast plain, was ...... His eyes widened, and he said, "Danton Lun Kingdom?" but then he wondered, "However, there is a vast plain in the middle. ”

"It used to be like this, it was a barren place, and no one would pay attention to it, but you forgot, it's not just us who are cold, everything is constantly changing," Luo Lan took two steps back. A few months ago, the land trade of the free city-states was opened, which meant that countless riches would enter the Middle Continent, and the first to profit was the kingdom of Danton Lun and the nearest parish of St. El. ”

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, when the diocese of Saint-El finds out that this cake has long been swallowed by our Beiser, it will definitely not be happy. ”

Lemon clenched his fists and said with some anger: "Do they disregard the reputation of the church? Do you want to snatch our fruit?

Luo Lan glanced at Lemon, smiled faintly, and said, "In front of interests, it doesn't matter if it's good or evil. There is no morality, and if you put everything aside and only think about it from this point of view, in fact, their general psychological state is easy to guess. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Moreover, they have already begun to do it." ”

Lemon was shocked and said, "Is it ......?"

"Would the old king of the kingdom of Dentonlun easily depose the crown prince because of his personal likes and dislikes? And as a friendly interlocutor with our diocese, Alexander was ordered to be arrested from the moment he was arrested. That's enough to say it all. Luo Lan rhythmically tapped on the table. Keeping his eyes on the map, he said, "The old king must have received the support of some nobles and the diocese of Saint-Eyre. Therefore, the line of Crown Prince Alexander will inevitably be suppressed. Of course, there are also some great nobles who are closer to us. The old king saw it through. Our diocese has not been established for a long time. And the foundation is shaky. In terms of strength and prestige. Indeed, the land is inferior to the old parish of St. Eyre. ”

Lemmon didn't expect things to be so complicated. I didn't expect Luo Lan to see all this cause and effect clearly in just a few words. He suddenly felt. The distance between myself and my mentor is still so far away. This thought made him a little frustrated. Barely cheer up. Said: "That." So how do we do that?"

"How to do it?" Luo Lan suddenly smiled. Then the cold sounded. He said categorically: "War! We need a war!"

Lemmon was shocked, "Are you going to go on an expedition to Dandonlun?"

"Nope. Even if I don't go to them. They will also come to us on their own initiative. Don't forget. This trade route could only be opened with the consent of the North Selendi. So they should be coming quickly. I expect. Long before the order for the arrest of Alexander was ordered. They must have been preparing for months. ”

Luo Lan smiled deeply. "This is a great opportunity for us." This means that we will infiltrate the power of the diocesan into the blood of the kingdom of Dentonlon. From then on, they will never be separated from each other again. This is the western gate and barrier of our diocese. He held out his hand and shook it like a map. Said: "Take it down the faith." It's like taking a door to the freedom of the Central Continent!"

As if remembering something, he added, "By the way, where is that messenger?"

Lemmon hurriedly bowed down and said, "Mentor, I will immediately go and summon the messenger of Prince Alexander. ”

Three days later, news came from the Kingdom of Dentonlon, which officially announced its acceptance of the glorious mercy of the Diocese of Saint-Eyre.

And at this moment, after a few months of absence, Luo Lan once again saw Alexander, who led a thousand cavalry to escape from Danton Lundi.

The heroic general of the past was gone, and Alexander's face was haggard and tired, but his eyes were bright and bright, which proved that his heart was still full of unyielding fighting spirit and faith.

Luo Lan felt that Alexander had changed, although he was still the same person on the outside, but in the past, the latter always maintained a frankness towards his friends, and even under the shroud of power and interests, he was more willing to get close to the emotional side, intentionally or unintentionally to avoid the too cold reality, but this time when Luo Lan put forward his own suggestion, he did not hesitate or be surprised, but accepted it calmly.

I believe he can see that the only person he can rely on at this moment is this former friend, but when he made this decision, I believe he has also experienced countless torments and struggles in his heart.

Luo Lan opened his arms to make a gesture of welcome, and laughed: "Friend, this is a battle of faith, Bethlehem has been the most orthodox faith since the birth of the Illuminati, it was the case before, and it is still the same. Then he gazed at Alexander and said, "Friend, you should share the glory of the Lord with me."

Alexander didn't seem to notice the almost commanding tone of Rolan's tone, and he nodded in favor of the kind invitation.

The two men walked to the altar and took an oath in the temple to declare their devotion to the faith, and at the end of the ceremony, a conversation between the two men was recorded in the future canon.

"Danton Lun's faith is impure. Luo Lan sighed.

"The faith of Danton Lun is in Bethlehem. Alexander said firmly.

He turned his face to face all his subordinates and said loudly in an unquestioning tone: "You can't doubt, even if it's only in your heart. ”

Then, he pulled a handsome little girl of about fourteen years old and said sincerely, "This is my royal sister, Susan." ”

"Get on your knees!" Alexander's tone suddenly intensified.

The little girl took a small step back in confusion, but did not kneel, her beautiful big eyes full of unease and panic.

"From now on, Your Excellency is your master. ”

The little girl didn't seem to be able to accept such a change for a while, she was first confused, and then frightened to look at the crowd around her, she saw those eyes with pity, disdain, and ridicule, she felt an irresistible cold envelop her, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Get down on your knees!" Alexander said sharply.

The little girl trembled like a frightened fawn, and she looked helplessly at her brother, who usually shone like a warm sun.

Alexander suddenly rushed up and hugged Susan, and when everyone was startled, tears welled up in his eyes, and then he whispered in his sister's ear in a pleading tone, "Kneel." ”

Hearing the choked sobs in her brother's voice and the large, powerful hands, Susan's heart ached for no reason, as if the familiar face was far away from her, and she fell to her knees in a trance, at the feet of the strange and serious young bishop.

Alexander let go in silence and slowly straightened up, his movements were very slow, as if he was carrying too much heavy burden on his back, but when he straightened up completely, he was firmly on his feet, it was a steadiness that did not move at all, and could no longer be overwhelmed.

Luo Lan had been watching all this silently, and he sighed: "Friend, you shed tears. ”

Alexander was silent for a moment before he said quietly, "It's already drained." ”

Luo Lan glanced at the idol behind him and said in a voice that only Alexander and him could hear, "When we decide to stand at his feet, we are destined to have this day." ”

The teasing and mocking tone in his tone surprised Alexander for a moment, and then nodded as a matter of course.

Luo Lan turned around, his face had become extremely solemn, and said, "What is your faith?"

The Templar swordsmen and knights said at the same time, "Morality, justice, justice!"

Priests, priests, and prayer teachers shouted in unison: "Perseverance, mercy, fearlessness!"

Luo Lan drew a cross on his chest and said with a solemn expression: "My lord has mercy, may the glory be there." ”

Again, all of them said in unison: "Shine as far as you can see, dispel all filth! Darkness! Injustice!"

The sound of hundreds of people shouting at the same time rushed to the roof of the temple, reverberating and churning in the vast space.

Luo Lan looked at the silver pupil sword shield cross flag that hung down from the top of the hall, and spit out word by word: "Mobilize the holy war army, declare war on the diocese of St. Ayr!"
