"We can't let those guys go on like this!" The clear voice is no longer as dignified as before, although more than ten years is quite short for the elves, but since the beginning of the reform, the changes in the Arrow Continent in the past fifteen years have far exceeded the changes that have occurred in the past fifty years, or even one hundred and fifty years, and among them, the most unbelievable thing for Bishop Ivan is the loss of faith.

If people learn to rely on others, then people can condense the individual into a whole, and the concept of "society" will be born, which is also where intelligent life is superior to other beasts, but if people are used to relying on others, then a terrible thing will happen, that is, people will lose the motivation to move forward.

The beliefs on the continent of Arrow are essentially born out of the people's choice to rely on the gods.

It is undeniable that at the beginning, when people were still very weak, this faith helped people to seek the help of the gods and expel the tyrannical elemental creatures, but two thousand years later, when people have the ability to get rid of this dependence, there are still some people who want to continue to hide in this comfort and do not want to leave.

Perhaps, the gods don't mind these people continuing to stay under their wings, but this doesn't mean that those clergy are really part of the gods' kingdom, and the kingdom of gods only belongs to the gods and their dependents after all, and the clergy belong to mortals after all.

But Bishop Ivan apparently didn't think so.

"The earth under our feet, the sky above us, the forests around us, and even the ocean in the distance are all the great power of the gods, why can those people do it, and rightfully occupy the entire Arrow Continent, but they are not grateful at all?" This is the view of this stubborn fundamentalist cleric.

However, it is a pity that blindly shouting slogans is impossible to stop the reform, in fact, the loss of faith and this reform is not very related, the gods have been silent for a long time is the biggest reason, but unfortunately due to the reform, people have more ways to solve the problems that can only be solved by praying to the gods, so to a large extent to accelerate this process, and most importantly, this reform is led by Mijas.

Whatever the original reason, Bishop Ivan now sees Mijas as a traitor to the Church, and the two have very different views of the gods, so Bishop Ivan is also determined to expel Mijas from the Church.

Coincidentally, due to a series of policies are quite impatient, people in many areas have begun to be eager to stop the pace of change, or rather, those small nobles who have benefited from the change have been a little overwhelmed, in this way will only allow more commoners to get the title of "noble", originally everyone had nothing, so the reform was smooth sailing, but now those who eat the cake first do not want to create more "kinds" to share this cake with themselves, although the cake is still getting bigger, What they get is not diminishing.

Proportions are an interesting thing, even if they know that if they continue to change, the wealth of a town can be doubled, but because doing so will make "their own town" become "their own town and another person's town", so now the people who own the whole town are beginning to refuse the change, and in their eyes, this time the aristocratic reshuffle should be over.

With opponents, the continent of Arrow, which had already begun to be chaotic because of the change, fell into turmoil again.

The earliest aristocratic class was purged by Mijas, and the new nobles were already satisfied with the current results and began to rebel against the change, and the six major kingdoms in the entire Arrow continent were plunged into a certain degree of civil strife, which was also to be expected, after all, as one of the most severely hit old aristocratic groups, although the royal families of various countries were not substantially hit, their prestige did drop too much.

This chaotic situation gave Bishop Ivan a chance.

In a regular meeting of the church, the archbishop proposed that his body needed to be cultivated, and wanted to give up the position of archbishop, and the hopeful Bishop Ivan unceremoniously recommended himself, after all, he was the youngest bishop at the entire conference table, and the youngest legend on the side of the Nine Holy Churches, in his opinion, his succession can be said to be a sure thing, and even he has begun to plan how to use the resources of the church to squeeze Mijas's earth god cult after becoming an archbishop, How to expel Mijas back to Dragon Island.

Unfortunately, the archbishop finally said that his preferred successor was actually the "traitor" Mijas of the church, which was completely unacceptable to Bishop Ivan, so he got up and left on the spot, and took away all the clergy in the Nine Holy Church who favored his side, and began to claim that he was the orthodox church, while the original archbishop and others were "shameful degenerates" who succumbed to wealth. ”

On the other hand, Bishop Ivan, on the other hand, was a noble man who adhered to the faith, and "Puritanism" was born.

"Are you satisfied?" The Dark Bishop looked at the old man in front of him, who seemed to be much older, and said dissatisfiedly.

"What do you mean I'm satisfied?" The archbishop sighed sadly, "I didn't expect Ivan to sink so deeply. In his eyes, Ivan should accept Mijas's succession, and then fight Mijas within the church, so that the entire Nine Holy Church can be relatively gently transformed into a new church that meets the expectations of the gods.

"There are many things you didn't expect, the Nine Holy Church has been in decline for a long time, and it has been able to hold on to it until now, the one who doesn't have some pathological persistence in the matter of faith? Look at it, the entire Holy Cult Army has been pulled away by that kid! The Dark Bishop slammed the ground with the wooden staff in his hand.

"Alas......" The archbishop could only sigh in pain again, which meant that most of the clergy in the original Nine Holy Church would be abandoned by the gods they believed in, and the last thing he wanted to see was finally pushed by himself.

"I said a long time ago, directly subdued Ivan's bastard boy, what's the matter, you just don't agree, now it's okay, the accumulation of thousands of years, most of it will be gone in an instant." The Dark Bishop and the Archbishop were already at odds, and now that the Archbishop has done something wrong, he will naturally not let the other party go.

"So, this crooked tree still needs to be cut down so that we can make room for a new tree." In front of the two old men, the old god Mijas was drinking tea on the ground, this situation he had already considered, when he accepted the position of bishop of the Earth God Church, Mijas knew that he would fight with the original Nine Holy Church, and now the Nine Holy Church is split, and the "Puritanism" he has to deal with is only seventy percent of the strength of the original Nine Holy Church, which is a good thing for him.

"Your Highness Mihas......" The old bishop hesitated for a long time, but still opened his mouth to intercede.

"Don't say it, I can't show mercy." Mijas did not hesitate to refuse the archbishop's request, he didn't want to leave a group of faith maniacs who would come to him for trouble if he had nothing to do, Mijas was also very self-aware, he couldn't save everyone, at least the Puritans who didn't want him to save, he couldn't save them.

Due to the longevity, most of the clergy on Bishop Ivan's side are elves, and only the long-lived elves can firmly believe in the gods who have not shown their faces for two thousand years, and this also means that the elves who were most in line with the reform and the least internal turmoil in the country have also lost a large number of elites, and the elven queen found Mijas directly after knowing about it, hoping that he can leave these people alive, but unfortunately the belief in this kind of thing itself is very unreasonable, and Mijas is not a demon in hell, It can't easily change a person's mind, so in the end, the elven queen can only slam the door and leave, which also means that Mijas herself has lost a staunch supporter within the reformists.

For the Puritans, the expulsion of Mijas is not the most fundamental goal after all, how to make people continue to believe in the gods is the most important, at this point everyone is not stupid, everyone thinks of "suffering", only after experiencing suffering, people will remember that only the gods can save themselves, but even the most determined Bishop Ivan is not a vicious person, and they still can't do this kind of thing deliberately to create suffering.

However, Bishop Ivan, they are quite lucky, this social contradiction already exists, and it is still getting worse, and if they gently push it, the whole continent will be plunged into war.

And war is the thing that can bring suffering the most.

The war first began in the south of the knight empire, under the leadership of the original down-and-out knight Lowry, the exiled nobles formed a small army, under the slogan of restoring the glory of their ancestors, relying on the surprise to conquer the territory of several cities, and with the secret help of the legends, and the army formed by the new nobles fought back and forth, this province in the south of the empire completely fell into civil strife.

Bishop Ivan, they saw this opportunity.

Ivan is also a legend, he is not stupid, why can a group of exiled nobles rise up? He didn't believe that there were no other legends behind this, and although it was not known why these legends were opposed to Mijas, as a member of the original Hall of Order, he also vaguely heard that some legendary mages were a little dissatisfied with Mijas's change plan.

This means that, at least for now, he and these legends have a common "enemy", that is, the Red Dragon Prince Mijas, and this is enough, they do not need to communicate, and they can have a certain degree of tacit understanding.

In the midst of this sporadic battle, a new group of faces were added, and their names were, "Holy Cult Army"!
