"What about the Crusaders stationed there?" the councillor then asked.

"I can't confirm it, but it's probably within 15,000 to 20,000. The young officer said with regret: "This number of crusaders is not yet an opponent that we can deal with. ”

The councillor was noncommittal, he had never intended to fight the temple, at least he didn't have the strength for a short time, although it seemed that a large number of militia and people had gathered under his command, but everyone knew that these barely cobbled together armies were simply a rabble, not even a militia team, let alone facing the top crusaders on the mainland, I am afraid that it only takes a brigade of cavalry to charge, and more than 10,000 people will be wiped out on the spot.

No, probably not even a brigade.

"What we need to do now is to be more cautious in concealing our whereabouts and continue to preach in the territory of the Void Ancestor, as for the army, we need to divide them, the Crusaders are too mobile, and the large-scale army will soon be discovered and exterminated," the councilor ordered, at present, the temple still retains an extremely strong military force in the Void Ancestor, and the first thing he needs to deal with is not the Crusaders, their combat effectiveness is too strong and too cohesive," Our target is the small and medium-sized aristocracy scattered all over the country, whose wealth and land are extremely important to us. ”

"We occupy the towns and estates of the minor nobles, and educate their subjects," said the councilor, pondering for a moment, "and as for the fortresses and royal towns, they can only be won by slowly accumulating strength." ”

"After the last incident, the Crusaders have sent troops to garrison the Fallen Pine Fortress, and it will probably not be easy for us to take it next time. The young officer sighed: "That is the most important stronghold we occupy in the north, and if we can capture the Fallen Pine Territory, the Crusaders will completely lose control of the north." ”

"It's not time yet...... "The councillor laughed mysteriously, "sooner or later, the fallen pine collar will be ours." ”

The young officer paused, and quickly relaxed.

Yes, since the day I joined the Eye of the Heavens, what the adults have said has never been in vain.

This gave the young officers a kind of almost fanatical trust in the councillors, and as long as there were adults in everything, there was no problem that could not be solved.

This should be the rumored king's courage and luck!

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, things have developed beyond our expectations!" Archbishop Lang sat at the center of the long table in the church, looking at the priests and leaders around him, "Within a week, five nobles have been found dead in their castles, and just yesterday, a red-clothed priest was actually hanged in public!

"Let me tell you," Magill, the leader in charge of the Crusaders' reconnaissance, took off the armor on his wrist, "We've been tracking this Eye for months, but they're cunning, and every time we catch them, we're just a little bit of a little character, and we don't even know who their leader is?"

"I suspect that the leader of this organization is a very cautious fellow, they are very careful in their work, they never have a head-on confrontation with the crusaders, even if they carry out attacks and select some nobles with weak armed forces, I have heard that the number of their members has exceeded 10,000!" Mager looked melancholy, the other party was like a loach, wet and slippery, he couldn't catch his tail at all, and whenever he got the news that their leader appeared, he was always a step too late to go:" Under their instigation, many people have become hostile to the temple, and we in the Void Ancestor Territory are no longer able to get information from the people anytime and anywhere as before. ”

"I've heard something too......" Priest Moran, who sat in the second place, frowned, as one of the few female red-clothed priests in the temple, her abilities were obvious to all, "When Tennir was interrogated, he confessed to all the charges against him!"

"The matter will soon spread out, taking bribes, keeping slave girls in captivity, a stain that the temple cannot bear. Priest Moran stared at the priests below, his voice indifferent: "Can anyone tell me how this matter should be resolved." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Archbishop Langer coughed, "There is no conclusive evidence......

"Your Excellency the Archbishop!" Moran interrupted Lan Ge's words, and she said in a deep voice, "This sentence came from the mouth of a cardinal priest, and this is the strongest evidence!"

"So far, there's only one way to clear this stain," Priest Moran took a deep breath, "Capture the leader of this organization, put him on trial in public, and make him admit that Tennir said these words under his control, and that he didn't mean to do so." ”

"Is there no other way?" Magger's face was a little ugly, they didn't know anything about the leader of the Eye of the Heavens, let alone the specific identity, Magel couldn't even figure out whether this leader was a man or a woman.

"Absolutely. Mo Lan stared at him coldly, "If you kill all the people of the Void Ancestor within three days, this news will naturally not spread." ”

"Silence, silence!" Archbishop Ranger tapped on the table, "There is no other way, Lord Magill, I will send paladins to assist you, and you must bring the target back within seven days!"

Seven days, only seven days!

Seven days later, this confession from the cardinal priest of Tannir will be disseminated in various forms to the Void Ancestor and even all parts of the mainland, and when that time comes, I am afraid that the foundation of the Holy See will be shaken.

"How many paladins did the temple send to the Void Ancestor this time?"

"Twenty. Lan Ge said: "This is already the limit of the number, Iron Rock City and Iron Flow Kingdom are all ready to move, the temple can't spare more strength to support the Void Ancestor, no matter what happens, we can only rely on ourselves!"

"Tieliu, is that the Capet family?" Moran was stunned for a moment, and then quickly frowned: "What a disgusting surname!"

"Winton Capet launched an attack on the city of Mera half a month ago, and he dispatched two ace legions," Archbishop Langer rubbed his temples with some headache, "the city of Mera will definitely not be able to stop his iron hooves, if there is no accident, the city of Mera will fall in a month, and Winton Capet will turn his forces to Tallinn, where his last enemy is." ”

"Winton Capet must not be allowed to ascend to the throne again. Moran said categorically, a unified Tieliu Kingdom would make the Holy See feel even more uneasy, "How will the temple deal with the changes in Tieliu?"

"There has already been a mission into Tallinn, and I believe Norrington should have a great interest in the throne as well. ”

"What about the royal army?"

"The royal family...... Sorry, I don't really know what a group of honor guards can do. ”
