Chapter 167: The Church

The Blood Clan of Snow Mist will advance eastward, this is what Xia Han has learned.

As he turned around in the carriage and pondered what to do, it was clear that Snow Mist was using a trick to shield himself, and the Bloodline was ostensibly attacking the City of Light, but secretly it was fanging its fangs against its compatriots - the Bloods were in a civil war.

For some reason, Xia Han was convinced of this conjecture, and it was a good thing for the other races to fight against each other. But there must be another mystery in Xue Mist's daring to take the risk, and the queen he had forgotten must have mastered some way to deal with Shakti, otherwise how would she dare to act rashly?

Xia Han didn't know that the method that Wujian was going to take was based on himself, and the prophecy he received was only that the blood clans of the Snow Mist Country would infiltrate from the West Field and the northwest of Chunhui and launch an attack on Emperor Shakti.

After thinking about it, he thought it was a good opportunity.

So after a short sleep, early the next morning, Xia Han gave an order - he mobilized troops from all over the country to station at the front line, and unknowingly transferred the main force on the northwest border. This is equivalent to giving the Snow Fog Country a place to drive straight into, but he is quite cautious, and a few other places have also mobilized quite a lot of people, so there will not be a few people who will find it strange.

Later, after this order was arranged, he gave another order: in the next war, if there is a great difference between the enemy and us, the soldiers will give priority to defending the civilians and retreat to avoid the front of the blood clan. This can reduce the increase in the number of bloods and is a necessary measure.

Of course, this is also to reduce casualties in the northwest, Xia Han can't directly say that the prediction will bring more variables to the battlefield, and in fact, four of the six cities that fell last night are also in the northwest, which is also very dangerous now. With his orders, the army would return to the interior with a large number of people.

The borders of the Chunhui Empire can be depicted as one sea, one mountain and four countries, with the vast and boundless ocean in the east, the Cangji Mountains and the West Field in the north, and the junction of the West Field and Chunhui arcs from north to south and occupies the northwest border. The complete western border from north to south is the three kingdoms of Xiye, Guangming and Zhuyue, and Guangming City is located in the middle, but Guangming City and Xiye are separated by the tail end of a foggy mountain range.

This mountain range that extends from the Snowfog Country, due to its treacherous terrain and cold environment, is almost untouched, and the Snowfog Country has never built a city in this sensitive area. For thousands of years, only the City of Light would use the giants on the mountain as a tool to hone knights, and the rest of the countries excluded this difficult place to send troops.

Unfortunately, the Blood Clan does not need a smooth road, and the misty mountain fog is the best hiding for them, and the Blood Clan of the Snow Mist Country can easily use this mountain to attack Chunhui or Guangming City.

Thinking of this, Xia Han felt the need to add another layer of insurance. At noon, he summoned a man. Perhaps the word 'summoned' is not very appropriate, and the other party is not an official of Chunhui - but the archbishop of the church in the Chunhui Empire, Lin Xiong.

This archbishop is in charge of all the churches in the Glorious Empire, and his command is amazingly superb, and when the banner of reading power was raised everywhere after Bai Hui's death, the turmoil of the Chunhui Empire was successively ** down. Lin Xiong is a self-proclaimed 'Holy Son' and is one of the sought-after leaders of the Suzaku Continent Church.

If it weren't for the fact that the power of the domestic church was controlled to the extreme during Chun's reign, the current Lin Xiong might have become a real 'holy son' who could inherit the throne of the pope, and only the huge congregation of the Chunhui Empire could make other churches bow down.

But it's a pity that he didn't have that opportunity......

"I need your help in this war." On the carriage, which was walking at a very slow pace, Xia Han made a request to Lin Xiong, who had just met.

The archbishop had a typical ecclesiastical faceβ€”a middle-aged man with kind eyebrows and purpose, with a neat beard and a gentle glow flowing from the depths of his eyes. I have heard that only people with good faces can hold high positions in the church, and his appearance can indeed make people feel good at first sight.

"Your Majesty Radiance, rest assured, this is what we should do."

Lin Xiong opened his mouth calmly, with a smile on his face, it was not inappropriate for him to call Xia Han His Majesty Radiant in the eyes of others. But it also implies Xia Han - you are Your Majesty of the Radiant Empire, but not our Pope.

In short, his first sentence made it clear that he did not recognize Xia Han's status as the 'heir to the pope'.

"I'm not worried that you will stand by and watch...... Xia Han believes in the teachings of the church and their actions, and if he doesn't save him in the face of death, no one will praise him: "But what I need is not simple help, will you do your best to help?" ”

"Absolutely."

Lin Xiong lied without changing his face, the relationship between the church and the royal power has never been very harmonious, and they have been struggling to develop under the long-term suppression of the Chunhui Empire. Now the two princes are as full of power as their father, and they obviously won't let them take advantage of the opportunity to grow.

"Then why didn't the church get involved in last night's battle?" Xia Han picked up a letter from the shaking table and spread it out to Lin Xiong: "These letters were originally going to be handed over to the two princes, but now that I am the commander, it will fall into my hands." ”

Lin Xiong glanced down, and the content on it made his heart cold: "What does Your Majesty want to say?" ”

"I don't want to say anything, but I'm just a man who has broken into your midst, and just happens to have a lot of power." Xia Han crumpled the letter into a ball, and then said, "Don't you think I'm a good opportunity, Lord Bishop?" ”

"War is always the time when it is the most capable of developing the faithful and the most capable of producing fanatics, and perhaps the church will rise up at the slightest lapse of secular power."

"Now that the city of light is under attack, if one day it falls, and a large number of monks have nowhere to goβ€”and at this time a noble bishop has set up a camp for the refugees in the vicinity of a neighboring country, will not the monks be moved?"

"With the already not weak branch of the church and the influx of monks, it shouldn't be a problem to build a small bright city...... Even better, no one is going to attack a city that is held up as hope during this period. ”

Lin Xiong's heart jumped, he smiled slightly, stared at Xia Han and said, "In this way, what benefits will Your Majesty get?" ”

Of course, he understood what Xia Han meant, and the young king could use his power to dominate Chunhui's sight and situation, so that the royal power could relax its vigilance against the church, and provide them with the convenience to take advantage of the situation. If you think about it carefully, now is indeed Lin Xiong's best chance.

As long as he stands firm, even without the monks of the City of Light, he can thrive and create a great cause in this troubled world. Xia Han said rightly, "War is the most developing period for the Catholics", and the harm caused by war to the poor will cause a large number of people to invest in the church.

"Protecting more people while weakening the country – that's my good."

Xia Han's answer was not a lie, if Bai Hui's prediction was correct, he would have to move towards the path of unification sooner or later, and the biggest enemy would undoubtedly be Chunhui.

As for the church...... The Church without the true God will not stand on the throne under any circumstances. (To be continued.) )
