Cecil consuls military district, inside the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Agency, and Lemont's body was quickly delivered to Gawain.

The regional bishop of the southern diocese died in an eerie appearance, with almost no external injuries on his body except for some abrasions and dirt left by the run, and the cause of his death was a certain "high fever" from his skull, the regional bishop's eye sockets had been burned into two black holes, the dry and charred eye skin was in a somewhat disgusting state clinging to the eye sockets of his skull, and his brain was ...... It seems to have been burned to ashes.

"We found him on a mountain path in the Dark Mountains," Thorderling reported what he knew, "and he was dead when he found him, with no signs of a fight or any remnants of magical fluctuations around, and the cause of death was as you can see, his brain burned to ashes...... But I've never seen a curse or magic effect look like this. ”

Gawain crouched down and carefully checked the situation of this Holy Light Bishop, and when he reached into Lemont's eye socket, Amber next to him couldn't help but let out a disgusting sound: "Vomit...... You're disgusting too......"

Gawain didn't pay attention to the amber, but dipped some ashes, rubbing his fingertips lightly twice, and a little golden light flashed in those ashes.

"It's the residual echo of the Holy Light, emanating from the brain...... This bishop was burned to death by his own light," Gawain frowned, "but why?" ”

Amber began to analyze it indiscriminately with a serious face: "Is it because he ran away on the battlefield, violated the unknown doctrine of the Holy Light Church, and then ran into the mountains and couldn't stand the condemnation in his heart and died of an explosion of conscience?" ”

Gawain glanced up at Amber: "Do you believe this?" ”

Hetty directly ignored Amber's indiscriminate analysis, stood beside Gawain and asked with a solemn face, "Ancestor, can you see anything?" ”

"I can't see that there is no trace on his body except for the cause of death caused by the reflection of the Holy Light...... But it's not like there's no idea at all," Gawain clapped his hands and stood up, "It's the brain that the Holy Light burns out, which proves that the initial loss of control started from the brain, which reminds me of a group of people......"

Hetty looked at Gawain's expression and suddenly reacted: "Eternal Sleeper? ”

"It seems that those cultists have not stopped, they are always active in areas we don't know," Gawain said in a tone that was not unexpected, since there was already the shadow of the Ansu Civil War, it was not inconceivable that there would be an Eternal Sleeper on the battlefield in the south, although he was curious why the Eternal Sleeper would "help" the Cecil kill an intruder, but that didn't stop him from continuing to do his own thing, "Send this corpse to the incinerator along with the other corpses and burn it clean." ”

Two soldiers came in and carried away Lemont's body, while Amber looked at the Holy Light Bishop who was carried away and sighed, "A regional bishop...... And just died...... Anyway, now you and the Holy Light Church are completely opposed. ”

"Their bishop of the region led twelve knights to Cecil to 'negotiate' with me, demanding that I hand over the civilians of the city, and from that moment on, they would be tantamount to a declaration of war," Gawain said nonchalantly, "and even if they don't come out today, I will have to oppose them sooner or later - you should know the law that Cecil enforces, and it is impossible for the Holy Light Sect, which is currently taking an increasingly aggressive line, to accept the rule that 'the laws of the government hall are higher than the church'." ”

Hetty recalled the battle report sent by Kamel before, and suddenly showed a thoughtful look: "Speaking of which...... The bishop and his knights probably didn't plan to fight us to the death this time. The bishop had come to negotiate with the lord and demanded that we hand over the 'heretics' who had been sheltered, and I suspect that their original purpose was to lure you out, and then to hold you back for the time being, and when the time came, they would have found a reason to retreat - as long as they were to pay compensation with gold and silver and some land, according to the rules of friction between the church and the nobility, and that would be covered up. And I guess that according to the original plan of Count Hossmann and the Holy Light Church, Cecil will be the absolute loser in this war, and the Holy Light Church is probably still waiting for our compensation. ”

Before, Hetty was busy dealing with the information from all sides, and her mind was not focused on this, and at this time, everything temporarily settled down, and she suddenly figured out the real purpose of the "Bishop of the Southern Diocese" leading twelve papal knights to Cecil to lead the "negotiation", and Gawain's reply made her expression even more subtle: "This is obvious - of course they are just here to hold me back, could it be that they still plan to take this city?" ”

Hetty didn't know what to say: "As a result, they all died here...... Even the bishop did not survive. ”

"Remember what I said at the beginning?" Gawain glanced at Hetty and said leisurely, "They can start this war, but it's not up to them to decide how big it will be after the war starts." ”

Herti pondered Gawain's words, and Gawain gave her a new order: "Inform Godwin that the additional issue is that the Holy Light Church is colluding with Count Hossman...... No, some of the priests colluded with Count Hossman to attack Cecil, but they were too weak to be able to do so, and they were wiped out after a fight with one of our technicians. ”

Hetty blinked: "...... Is that really how you write it? ”

Gao Wen nodded: "Just write it, and then publish it throughout the territory - not only in the territory, but also let the army take it away and send it to the entire southern border, so that all literate people in the southern border have a chance to see it." Also, remember, it must be emphasized that 'some of the corrupt and corrupt priests were in collusion with Count Hossmann'. ”

Gawain had wanted to declare that the entire Church of Light was in collusion with Count Hossman and hostile to Cecil, but he knew that he couldn't consider the entire Church of Light an enemy—at least not yet.

The clerical class of the Church of Light may be corrupting and degenerating, but the believers of this sect are made up of a large number of people, including about a quarter of the people in Cecil's territory. Although these ordinary believers' belief and support for the Holy Light Sect may not be so strong and extreme, if he suddenly declares the Holy Light Church to be an enemy, it will still inevitably cause chaos, so it is best for him to distinguish the fallen priests from ordinary believers at the beginning of the public opinion campaign.

And there is another point, the religion of this world is not only a kind of spiritual sustenance, their "divine power" and the gods themselves are real, and even these two are still productive forces and components of the natural world, unless the Holy Light Church is completely distorted and degenerated like those three dark sects, and loses its foothold in the normal social order, otherwise it is impossible for him to take the "faith of the Holy Light" as the target of extermination, and what he can eliminate can only be those priests.

And it has to be a depraved and corrupt priest - after all, there can't be only one Wright in the entire Church of Light?? Aviken, right?

Just now Amber said that he was completely opposed to the Holy Light Church, which may be true, but Gawain has his own understanding and arrangement for this sentence.

Hetty took the order and left, leaving only Amber and Gawain in the room for the time being, Amber pondered for a long time in that person, and suddenly remembered a detail from the task that Gawain assigned to Herty: "Ah! You just said that you want the army to send things to the whole South...... Isn't the war over yet? ”

Gawain glanced at Amber: "When did I say the war is over?" ”

"But we've won all the battles," Amber scratched her hair, "Count Hosman to the north is dead, his army is scattered, Count Pebo to the west is dead, and I heard that even fewer have escaped, and now even the bishop of the Church of the Light is dead...... I've heard that there are a lot of captives on the front lines in the north and west, and many of them are nobles from the south. Then you should negotiate with the families of those noble captives, asking for money, food, and land......"

Amber looked at the smiling expression on Gawain's face, and her tone became lower and lower, until finally she slowly stopped, with a terrifying expression on her face: "Mom-you're not going to stop at all, are you?" ”

"I said a long time ago that this is a war to reunite the South, and I don't want the previous unification situation where the nobles were divided and relied on fragile allegiances and vassals, so I didn't plan to ask for any 'ransom' from the beginning, let alone negotiate," Gawain said with a serious expression, "Count Hossman's coalition did break up, but remember, they just dispersed, not disappeared, did not surrender, but ran away from the battlefield." They did not become the population of Cecil, nor the nourishment of the land of the south. And those nobles who were captured...... The families behind them, their castles, their estates, their still separate territories, all of this is still there, and as long as the fleeing armies return to these places, then these places will remain the territories of the nobles who are divided and divided, not the land of Cecil. ”

Speaking of this, Gawain emphasized word by word: "In the south, there is only one Cecil territory. ”

"Are you going to ......" Amber looked Gawain in disbelief, "kill all the noble families in the South......"

"Of course I won't kill them all, at least not directly, because then the social order will collapse, and whether I like to admit it or not, the aristocracy and its vassals 'upper class' are the main source of intellectuals at the moment, and I must use this group, I must use their power," Gawain said, "but I still have to 'destroy' them, destroy their system and their foundations...... After this, all will be honorable and peaceful citizens of Cecil. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed slightly: "I really hope that every nobleman in the southern realm and their vassals will accept this arrangement, but if they can't accept it...... I hope at least the incinerator will be sufficient. ”

A confused expression gradually appeared on Amber's face, and at the end it was a sudden agitation.

Seeing this, Gawain couldn't help but laugh: "Can you understand what I said?" ”

"I don't listen!" Amber reached out and covered her ears, "What you're talking about is either hard to die or scared people to death!" ”

Gawain smiled and reached out to press Amber's hair—the dwarf melon was so tall that he put his hand on it just right.

Then he turned around and looked out the window at the sunset, which was already sinking.

Knight Philip should have set off with his orders, and the sweep of the south began.
