Chapter 146: The Northland in a Mess
With a "bang", Kleimatis's clenched fist slammed on the table in front of him: "Even if there is something shady, it can be determined that it is the behavior of some individuals during the investigation!" Such a reason was not enough to excuse them to attack the temple directly. What's more, the one in Walkerson could be called a bandit! ”
"Please calm down, please calm down." Mr. Clifford immediately lowered his voice, and at the same time made his tone as calm as possible: "The accidental injury that can be classified on the battlefield is completely enough to deal with the procedural justice of the Church of the 'Lord of Notary' to delay time." ”
Mr. Clifford tried very hard, but the anger in his heart could not be completely concealed. So even if he understands that he wants to help Klaimatis calm his emotions, but he feels like he is gritting his teeth, how much convincing power can be left in his words?
"If I'm not mistaken, the shrines of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce in the noble councils were all built in relatively densely populated cities! If the other party directly attacks you like that, isn't it afraid that you will take any countermeasures? Hearing this, Barrett leaned down, propped his hands on the table, and asked the question he was most concerned about now.
Mr. Clifford's expression immediately became a little embarrassed, and he reached out and tugged at the collar of his garment, as if it were too tight. But who let him not give a positive answer. But Barrett also roughly understood the order he wanted from his behavior.
After straightening up again, Barrett rubbed his stubble with his index finger and thumb: "It seems that those three great temples can hold out until now." I'm afraid it's not just because they have plenty of combat power. The defense facilities are well-developed. What's more important is that the noble council is not far away from the persecution too hard! ”
Mr. Clifford, who knew that he couldn't hide it, nodded: "That's right! Those temples in the jurisdiction of the noble council. After the fall, they all took action to the same end. That's why the rest of the temples have been able to hold out until now. ”
What Mr. Clifford said was all the same. I'm afraid it's not just as simple as pulling those soldiers of the Seven Cities Alliance who have invaded the temple into the water together. I'm afraid that even the town where the temple is located has been affected to a certain extent. Moreover, it is important to know that the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' was not only built in areas where the trade of goods was developed, but also in the center of the town where the 'high-class people' gathered, or in the commercial area where the flow of people and goods was intensive.
In this case, the damage they could inflict on their deathly counterattack at the time of their fall was definitely not comparable to the attacks of ordinary people. In addition, the larger the city where the temple is located, the more prosperous the city, and the greater the damage and impact of their revenge.
Of course, some people may think that as long as the people are mobilized. With enough expert cooperation, you can suppress the crazy moves of the Temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'. After encountering this situation for the first time in the country, the noble council made quite adequate preparations, and even the smallest temples were arranged with masters.
But the reality is clearly throwing a hot slap at the top of the aristocratic council - ordinary people don't compare krypton gold with local tyrants. Compared with the noble councils, which are the rural buns of the Northlands, the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' churches with temples all over the Western Continent are comprehensively surpassed in terms of wealth and channels. If it weren't for the fact that the temple was besieged by the other side with home advantage, there would be nothing those guys could do with the church elsewhere.
So after the successive explosions, the Seven Cities Alliance also became a frightened bird. Before finding a solution to the problem, he had no choice but to besiege the three largest temples of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' in his own territory, because the city where the three temples were located could be said to be the economic, political, and cultural center of the area under the jurisdiction of the Evil Council.
If three large salute flowers are placed in these places. It's not just a matter of loss, it's important that it will have a very bad political impact. In addition, the Council of Nobles is now in a fierce confrontation with the Seven Cities Alliance. If this affects the morale of the front, it will be even more than worth the loss.
"I think those skinners of the noble council are probably trying to loot money from the temple to replenish their military resources! Holding a hot potato like this now, they would never have expected it before. Crymatis's words were full of mockery, as if his previous actions had been deliberately faked.
After the battle to defend the temple in Wintersprings, Barrett naturally understood what a foolish idea it was to snatch wealth from the prepared temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'. The Walkerson Temple was attacked by someone who copied the old bottom unprepared, and the aristocratic council that made a lot of money will become more bold.
But in fact, if you are prepared, in the face of the besieged 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' Temple, you will transfer all the financial reports and precious materials stored inside to the kingdom of God of that Highness - even the Church of Level 1 Priests can get exclusive storage space, and the level of this is absolutely trustworthy. Although the cost of this ritual is not small in normal times, it is rarely used for cost reasons. But in the case where these riches may fall into the hands of the enemy, those losses naturally become less important. Perhaps this is also an important reason for the noble council to give up attacking the remaining three temples!
Barrett, who was not very clear about further information, had to touch the bridge of his nose at this time and temporarily change directions: "But the-for-tat between the two sides has reached such an extent, and after the war is over, will it be impossible for your church to carry out business in the area controlled by the noble council." ”
"It's just a council of nobles, and they can control how much share. Compared to the layout of the whole church, this is just a peripheral area with more than it and less than it. "Mr. Clifford remains firm on this issue. More important, of course, is that he thinks the Church has the confidence to do so: "And when the war is over, the Council of Nobles will demand us far more than we do." Then will the real war begin. ”
'Do you want to play a trade war?' Barrett now observed three minutes of silence in his heart for the noble council. You must know that the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce controls more than 60 percent of the flow of money on the continent, and 30 percent of the mass trade in goods. Some of these important materials are completely monopolized by it.
So don't talk about waiting until the end of the war on the part of the noble council and start recuperating. As long as the Seven Cities Alliance can last a little longer. The economic stick of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce is enough to exert its due power. After all, no matter how many strategic materials are hoarded in advance. There is always a day when it runs out.
After figuring out the general situation. Barrett nodded his head and asked straight to the point, "And Mr. Clifford, what are you going to do with us next?" ”
"Things are going so badly at Walkerson right now and we need a lot of people. If you can, I hope you'll be able to accept the offer. Mr. Clifford said as he took a scroll out of his pocket, and it was evident that the man had even prepared a contract in advance—which was not necessarily for the Bloodstained Grey Flower. Most likely, a generic contract for the recruitment of mercenaries.
"Going to Walkerson for street fighting?" Barrett looked into Mr. Clifford's eyes as if to say, 'Are you all fools when we are?' ’
"Naturally, our church understands the dangers of such actions. So the reward is definitely worth the risk you have to take. "Mr. Clifford was not offended by Barrett's attitude. He gently placed the scroll in his hand on the table and unfolded it, thus showing Barrett the sincerity of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce.
However, Barrett shook his head unappreciatively: "Now we have a teammate who has lost his voice because he was on a special mission. We managed to get out of the battle with the mammoths. Now it is natural to look for his traces. Whether you are dead or alive, you need to get a prepared answer. ”
Because of the anvil to communicate with reality, Barrett knows that although the current situation of noodles is very bad, it is still too early to consume those resurrection stones that consume itself! But with his current situation, it was a very difficult thing to accomplish the tasks of the church.
Of course, this situation is also related to the sudden change in the middle of the mission. In fact, if Noodles chooses to give up. Because it was affected by force majeure, the punishment of the 'Good Dragon God' Church would not be too severe. However, Noodle seems to have taken this mission as a test for himself. He didn't want to drag himself in the team, but he was full of energy.
And the aborigines don't know about offline channels, like what Barrett just said, they really have to investigate behind their backs, and they can easily come to a conclusion that is consistent. And in the future, against the possible polygraph spells in this area, Barrett even opened up his 'perfect spirit'. Although he may not be able to fight all, after some covert means are discovered, he can choose to remain silent.
"Did you go to check on your companion's condition? From an emotional point of view, I really shouldn't have caused you any more trouble. But then Mr. Clifford's voice suddenly changed. But can I ask where your companion was when he lost contact? If it was the same Northland, I would naturally have nothing to say. But if only it had been somewhere else. I advise you not to waste your efforts. Because it's not easy to get out of the Northland right now. ”
As soon as the statement here came into his ears, Barrett nodded his head to show his understanding: "Have transportation and logistics been affected by the impact of the war?" However, the more times like this, the more merchant ships tend to come and go. If you have the heart, it is not so difficult to find the right opportunity. ”
"Things are going so badly at Walkerson right now and we need a lot of people. If you can, I hope you'll be able to accept the offer. Mr. Clifford said as he took a scroll out of his pocket, and it was evident that the man had even prepared a contract in advance—which was not necessarily for the Bloodstained Grey Flower.
