The flag of the diocese of Saint-Ère is a red and black-bottomed cannibal flower, inlaid with a silver cross in the center, which has been passed down for thousands of years with a little shocking meaning, although in the changes of the continent and the wear and tear of time, the dioceses around the country are also like a tide of ups and downs, changing and changing, many parishes of the same era are falling one after another, but this flag is still fluttering steadily in the sky of Saint-Eyre. 【Full text reading.】【Looking for the latest chapters?】

Bishop Vaughn was a thin old man, and he did not see any difference from an ordinary old man except that he was in better spirits.

But in fact, as a diocesan bishop, he dedicated his youth and blood to the cold idol, and his life was slowly wasted in long and empty prayers, and in the process of climbing step by step from the lowest lowly clergy to this position, he went through countless bloody storms, and those juniors who relied only on sycophancy had already been eliminated in the cruel battle, and all that remained were clear-headed, well-founded, and clever people who knew how to judge the situation.

Looking back, he had too many emotions and memories, however, on the contrary, the bishop of Beiselen was not yet thirty years old, and he had already occupied most of the land of the eastern continent and became the superior of the same status, which made him a little more envious in addition to amazement, and sighed at the luck of this young comrade.

However, he did not underestimate this opponent because of this, no one who can get to this point is simple and easy, although youth means lack of experience and experience, but it is also an extremely terrifying advantage and resource, who can imagine ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years later. * What kind of situation will this person create? Perhaps, a new era is coming, and the founder of that era is by his side.

At that time, what will happen to the parish of Saint-Air, which is closest to it, and what will be its fate?

Bishop Vaughn felt a little uneasy, and although it seemed ridiculous to worry about what would happen in a few decades, he did not think so, that the diocese of Saint-El had stood for a thousand years. It is not because they have more power than other suburbs, but because the bishops of the past generations know how to prepare for a rainy day, and nip the impending or possible crisis in the bud before they have developed and grown, so that they will not be in a hurry to deal with those sudden changes.

"Priest Dilfe V Elnik asks to see you. One of the servants walked into the hall and knelt down and said loudly.

"Okay, let him in. Bishop Vaughn nodded, although he did not show any deliberate majesty, and his tone was soothing, but the servant did not dare to look up, and whispered in response. The bishop's words were passed on.

Footsteps sounded, and a tall, handsome man walked in calmly.

Bishop Vaughn narrowed his eyes and looked over, this was also a young man with a handsome face. Full of beautiful blonde hair, full of vitality and inexhaustible energy, but the other party was cultivated by himself, he remembered that a few years ago this young man was still arrogant, but in recent years he has done a few things and broadened his horizons. But it has become more mature and stable.

The young man stood still in the middle of the hall and saluted, "Diffie has seen the Bishop. ”

Bishop Vaughn let out a "hmm" and said slowly, "You came here today, and it seems that the matter of Danton Lun has been arranged, yes, this is two days earlier than I expected." ”

Priest Di Fei said respectfully, "This matter is all dependent on the prestige of the Bishop. ”

Bishop Vaughan's cloudy eyes opened and closed for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "The region of Beiselen is too important. It was originally located in the northern part of the free city-state. The Bethlehem Plain is higher than the Olevia Peninsula and is inherently advantageous. In addition, the opening of inland trading places now brings a steady stream of wealth to our diocese, but it has also become our weakness, because the right to trade is not our final say. Only by mastering this lifeline, the initiative will be in our hands, and now, the vitality of the orc kingdom is greatly damaged, the barbarians are expelled to the edge of the plain, the free city-states are too busy to take care of themselves, and Beiselen is a new diocese, and when the foothold is not stable, this is a good opportunity that has not been seen for hundreds of years, you must firmly grasp it, step by step, and there can be no mistakes. =STARTER=="

Let's be specific. ”

"Yes!" Priest Diffie bowed his head and said, "My subordinates always take the bishop's teachings to heart, and they dare not slack off. ”

Bishop Vaughn smiled faintly, his tone slowed down, and said, "Okay, let's be specific, I heard that you have contacted the free city-state?"

Priest Di Fei smiled slightly and said, "I never expect these people at both ends of the rat to do anything, the key is not in them, but in what we can do and what step we can take." ”

Bishop Vaughn said expressionlessly, "Go on." ”

Divine Officer Di Fei said: "Actually, if we attack from the front, we may not be able to achieve victory. ”

"Oh?" this made Vaughn look at the young man with some interest, and said, "Why do you say that? In this expedition to Beiselen, we have mobilized 5,000 Templar swordsmen, including 10,000 sword and shield warriors and 25,000 Nixon axemen, a total of 30,000 holy war troops, and Danton Lun has gathered all the soldiers who can fight, the total number should be more than 100,000, if I remember correctly, Beiselen has a certain combat effectiveness, but there are only about 10,000 people, maybe it can't reach this number, don't you have confidence in this way?"

"The number of people is only one aspect of the war, not all that determines the outcome of the war," said Priest Diffie, with a calmness in his eyes and words: " Although we have the support of the Kingdom of Dentonlun, coupled with the well-equipped and abundant materials, but after all, the Bethlehem Plain Thailand is vast, as a jihadist army dominated by foot soldiers, to cross this land as long as the Sea of Tyne, neither morale nor physical strength can be maintained at the peak, and Bei Se is cold and waiting, and his familiarity with the terrain is far better than ours, and there are strong walls to hold onto, as long as we are delayed for a few months, and at the same time send cavalry to harass our logistics, it will not take long. We will be the first to fight because we can't support it. ”

"Good. It seems that it would be wise for me to send you to the seminary of Miles," Bishop Vaughn said with an approving look on his face for the first time, "and you must have a clear and thorough understanding of the situation in the land of our enemies. ”

"Yes," he said, reappearing on the young man's face after a long absence, and confidently said, "Although there are many difficulties, we will win this time!"

Bishop Vaughn looked at him in astonishment. \ Then he smiled slightly, tapped Priest Diffie's chest with his cane, and said, "Tell me, where does your faith come from?"

Divine Officer Difei's eyes were full of brilliance, and he said slowly: "My plan is actually very simple, the front of the army is just a feint, and the Danton Lundi army will drag the main force of Beiselen, while I will lead an elite guard to detour the rear of Beiselen City as quickly as possible and take it down!"

Bishop Vaughn thought about it for a moment, and he knew. This plan is indeed very feasible, but to achieve this step, it needs several key factors to support it, so he did not immediately express his position. Instead, he waited for the young man to continue.

"We've found the local barbarians as guides, and these stupid guys are happy to see the humans fight, and we can cross the plains as fast as we can, bypassing those towers and lookouts, and going straight to the heart of the adversary's earth!" said Priest Diffie after a moment's hesitation, "But. I don't think it's enough to rely on ordinary soldiers to defeat the opponent, Beiselen has a strong morale, and the backbone is the elite of the original Western Continent diocese, they are likely to defend this bishop closely, according to legend, this person also controls a light dragon, although this is likely to be far-fetched, but it is not ruled out that Beiselen's side has strong demonic beast support. This is not possible on the plains of Bethlehem, where large monsters are produced. Moreover, the operation was all about speed and surprise. So ......"

He sighed and said, "So, my lord, for the sake of the future splendor of the parish of St. Eyre, I beg you to give me command of a part of the griffin guard. ”

Bishop Vaughan's face was solemn, the Griffin Guard has always been his personal guard, and there are even fewer people who know it, as the most trusted person, of course Diffie is one of them, he said quietly: "How much do you need?"

Di Fei thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Fifty is enough." ”

Vaughn frowned slightly, fifty, this is already more than half of the griffin guards, but then his brows relaxed, he glanced at the priest deeply, and said lightly: "Avoid the false and attack the truth, you are very bold and useful."

Diffie said: "Sometimes, we have to take this risk, and our subordinates think that even if we sacrifice fifty griffins, if we capture Beiselen, then it will all be worth it, and we will have more magical beasts to replace griffons in the future." ”

Bishop Vaughan waved his hand and said, "I don't care about those griffins, but I would be very sorry if I lost a good disciple because of this." ”

Di Fei was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Bishop Vaughan's kind face, and his face suddenly became a little excited, and said, "Mentor ......"

"Alright, don't say any more," Vaughn stepped down from the bishop's seat, patted him on the shoulder kindly with the younger ones, and said, "Don't worry, do it boldly, and besides, to ensure your success, I will send you two more bishop-guard knights." ”

Di Fei's body shook, and there was a deep hidden joy in his eyes, but he said in his mouth: "But Mentor, there are only three Bishop Guardian Knights in total, give it to me, what about your safety?"

Although the hint of joy was well hidden, but Bishop Vaughan, who was well versed in human nature, still caught that the young man was still a little impatient and immature, he couldn't help but think of his own youth, in the face of the coming glory so eagerly, he shook his head disappreciatively, and said: "I'm old, who else will care about an old man like me, I don't have the momentum and vigor of you young people, this world will be yours sooner or later." ”

Priest Diffie hurriedly bowed down and said, "Where, Mentor, your strength is enough to be ranked in the top five of the Church of Light, and your wisdom still illuminates the path ahead of us. "I'm waiting for you to prove your worth with your actions," Priest Vaughn glanced at the cross flag hanging at the top of the main hall again, then slowly withdrew his gaze and said in a cold voice, "For the sake of our common faith, declare war on the diocese of Bethlehem." ”
