Chapter Seventy-Nine: Conspiracy Spreads
It was getting dark.
Near the corner of the church of the guardian god Heim, figures swayed in the direction of the shadows, and the figures came out of a side door of the fortress-shaped temple, and a carriage drove from the nearby civilian area.
The carriage was a very ordinary carriage, without any family crest on it, and the material used to make it was the usual bertha wood, but the low-key and antiquated paint finish was very clean.
Such carriages were not uncommon in Xiliu City, and many merchants traveled from south to north would ride them, after all, they were more durable and practical than the elaborate carriages made of expensive decorations used by the nobles.
In the carriage.
Rod sat opposite his sisters, his face was not very good-looking, but it was not to the extent of iron blue.
It's just that he occasionally makes the eyes that fall on the corner of the carriage very solemn.
There, an expressionless girl was sleeping peacefully.
His sisters are very well-behaved, these little girls are very keen, they know what danger is going to happen, they are all very quiet, and even the active Xinxin does not shout too much.
It's just that this little girl looked in the direction of the temple with blank eyes, and muttered, "I haven't said goodbye to the white-haired grandpa yet."
Rhodes glanced at his sisters and fell into deep thought.
He pondered what the priestess had said earlier.
"Your Excellency Rhodes, since you already know the general plan of this battle, then I won't hide it from you."
The priestess's words were soft, but there was a threat in her soft tone, and she smiled and said, "In the battle plan of the Weststream City, our Church of the Vigilant will participate in the direction of the main attack on the Emerald City."
"But"
Speaking of this, there was a cold glint in her eyes.
"In addition to the development of the church, in addition to the teachings of our gods, the wealth and resources needed by the world are also indispensable, I think Your Excellency can help the Seth Guard Tower to be located at the key point of the southeast strategy, whether it is a strategic attack, or future development and development, it cannot be bypassed here, if this land must have a master, I hope it is your Excellency who is relatively friendly with us."
Her words were blunt.
She has taken a fancy to the territory of Seth Tower, but it is inconvenient to make a move, so she wants to support a spokesperson.
Come to think of it.
There was a solemn look on Rod's face.
The priestess named Tilani was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
As far as he knew.
The guardian god Heim has a more upright personality, and he is more likely to favor some tall, powerful men for his followers, and the god believes that only these powerful men can serve as guardians and guards.
Maybe it's because of the relationship between the gods' personalities.
The whole church of Heim is more rigid, and their doctrine teaches believers to be loyal to their employers and to protect them.
From the attitude of the priestess's words, Rhodes found that it seemed that the current high priest of the Heim Council was a more upright person, in other words, he was a more old-fashioned person.
For this kind of person, it is generally easier to be used by the nobility.
Like this war.
The priestess told Rhodes unabashedly that they had fallen to the lord of the city, Thales.
The other churches in the city are all wavering, looking like they are left and right, in fact, this is the posture that a church of God should have, and it is too risky to lean to one side too early.
That is, the Guardian Church is so easy for this group of honest people to take a stand.
The priestess must have been helpless about this.
Rhodes was jealous of the priestess.
She is a person of faith, but this is also a very intelligent sacrifice, she is not bound by rules and regulations, and although the code of conduct is not deviated and chaotic, it is by no means kind.
The reason why he threatened Rhodes with his sister was that Rod speculated that this was also the priestess's backhand.
Speaking of his sister.
Rod looked at the sleeping Scarlet, with some worry in his eyes.
After a long time, I saw Rod purse his lips, his face became resolute again, and he shouted to his subordinates outside, "Hurry up, I want to get out of the city immediately"
For the case of scarlet.
He needed to find a safe place to investigate.
In the church of Heim.
When Rhodes left, Tillane's expression became a little indifferent, and her noble and holy temperament made people dare not look at her, and she slowly walked into the temple with graceful steps.
Stand in front of the idol of the god of Heim.
Tilaney's expression was reverent, and her eyes glittered with a complex light, worry, anticipation, anger, and so on.
I only heard her murmuring in a low voice, "My God, the oracle has descended, the crisis is coming, we will be determined to defend civilization, the high priest is too upright in the face of chaos, we not only need swords and swords, wisdom and conspiracy should also be the weapons to calm the crisis"
"Danger is coming, I am willing to turn into a dark blade to resist all the peeers in the dark," Tyrani's eyes became more and more determined.
In her heart.
In this battle against the Emerald Leader, an upright person like the High Priest is easy to become a sword in the hands of the nobles, and if he is not careful, I am afraid that the power of the church will be severely damaged.
And this is unacceptable to her.
So, she quietly arranged the chess piece of Rhodes.
As a high-ranking member of the church, she has a clear view of the future, that Xiliu City Lord is not a mediocre person, and this war has been doomed before it has even begun.
The emerald collar can't be stopped
The threat of the orc clan is on the one hand, and on the other hand, this city lord may have already arranged a last-hand kill.
Tilani, on the other hand, was not thinking about the outcome of the battle.
As a church priest, she has always been thinking about the follow-up mission.
According to the teachings of the guardian gods, it is very likely that their new shrine will be set up in the future near Grizzly Hill and Ponseer Pass.
The fortress temple has always been committed to resisting the threat of the wilderness, and this cannot be changed.
And.
Whether it's fending off the invasion of the orc clans or stabilizing the Emerald Collar, the Guardian Church arranges it to be there.
For the aristocracy.
The Guardian Church at the forefront of the turmoil is not just a shield, but more importantly, their subsequent supplies will be choked by the nobles, which is undoubtedly extremely passive.
From this point of view.
The location of the Seth Tower is extremely important.
And as far as Tillani knows.
As a result of this loop, the benefits of the entire Osmus Watchtower camp were distributed to the mercenaries, but the nobles were greedy, and there were not a few nobles like Viscount Winton who reached out.
Truly.
From the perspective of future development.
The Emerald City's waterways are firmly in the hands of the lord's faction, but on land, the line of the Osme Outpost Tasis Pass is bound to become the main trade route for future development.
Compared with the powerful city lord faction, the other aristocratic factions are bound to not let go of this land trade route.
"It's disgusting to be as ugly as a vicious dog chasing food."
Tillani sighed in a low voice, she felt that the gesture of a group of nobles and mercenaries breaking their heads for profit was really disgusting, but she muttered with a complicated expression, "But for the sake of the church, I also have to go down the chase"
"Is this what the city lord wants, so that everyone is like a vicious dog, and he looks down on everything"
"Hmph"
She sneered, looked outside, and whispered, "However, I'm afraid it will frustrate your plans, that Lord Rhodes doesn't seem to be a guy to mess with, and the Moon Family is involved."
As she spoke, her figure gradually walked towards the depths of the temple.
Only a silent and solemn hall remains.
