Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 19 Religion and Pope I

With that, Kiro pulled a document out of his bosom and handed it to Fidel.

"Dear Mr. Field, Deputy Head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, when you read this letter, congratulations on your invitation to join the 'Church Alliance' by our Church Order, if there are no problems, please contact any of the Church Knights within three days, and I hope to receive your reply as soon as possible - Church Knights, Satnam. ”

Fed handed the letter back to the other party and asked, "What does this mean?"

Dressed in the clothes of the big yellow Knights, Kiro replied with a smile: "Our Church Knights already know all the mercenary regiments registered in the Mercenary House, and your Potato Mercenary Regiment Deputy Commander Phylla is also among them," he did not take the letter, but instead crossed his hands behind his back, "Just a day ago, our Archbishop Arthur Auerbach signed an agreement, on' The proposal for the unification of religions across the continent has reached an agreement with other nations, and one of the subordinate proposals of this agreement is to gather all the mercenary groups of the Holy Light City and form an alliance. ”

Fei De didn't understand what the other party meant, "Why does the religious unity of the mainland want to unite all the mercenary groups?"

"Oh, no, no, no, no, not together, the archbishop and the head of our Knights, Satnam, have agreed to launch a 'war of religious unification' against the cultists of the mainland, that is, the rulers of the Eastern Oguna Empire," Kiro has been observing Fidel's expression, but Fidel's face seems to be frozen, "This war has the support of the whole continent, and our regimental leader wants the support of all the mercenary groups in the Papal Territory." ”

With the support of the Powers, the Papal States wanted the Eastern Oguna Empire to launch an attack? There was no way for Fett to imagine that the entire continent would unite and reach an agreement to attack a single country, and if it was really as Kiro said, then it would be impossible for the Eastern Oguna Empire not to perish.

"There are only more than ten people in our mercenary group, if it is a war between countries..."

"Mr. Fidel, this 'Ecclesiastical Alliance' marks the unity of the entire Papal States, and I believe that all those who believe in the Cult of Light will join the Illuminati in the continent, except for the infidels of the Empire. "Quiro made it clear that if he didn't join this alliance led by the Knights of the Church, he would be a heretic. This was not a serious matter for Field, who had never been religious, and Fielder did not find out that any of his subordinates were particularly interested in religion.

"I'll think about it, Master Knight. When Fidel saw that the letter said that there was three days to reply, he had to discuss it with his subordinates first, after all, although joining the "church alliance" was only a symbolic move, it should not be easily promised.

"Then I'll wait for good news. With that, Kiro left with the knight of the church, who seemed to have no memory of the "blackmail" of that day, as if nothing had happened.

When Fide returned to where he lived, he found that only a few people had returned.

"Deputy Commander! Blake is already in the hospital, and his condition is fine, but he will be on crutches for the rest of his life. Avi sat down the hall, wiping his Quenched Knight sword, and now he had referred to Fid as "Deputy Commander" rather than "Senior".

With the exception of Avi, everyone else had already eaten lunch and either slept in their rooms or rested in the courtyard. Fed decided to talk to the crowd tomorrow about the "church union."

In the evening, Grass deliberately broke away from Greif, found Fed alone, and dragged him towards the City of Light.

"I heard that there is a grand event organized by the church tonight, please come with me!" Kesi deliberately changed into a relatively modest light white lady's dress, and she said to Fei De that she had bought it in the store of the Holy Light City this afternoon. Feder was still wearing "Black Flash", and he seemed to have become a conjoined baby with this suit of armor, wearing it wherever he went.

"Well, go ahead. ”

The two of them walked in the direction of the flow of people, and on one side was a church square, and they noticed that more and more people were walking in that direction. In the center of the square there is a pool of fountains, and in the center of the pool there is a clearing and a stone path that connects to the outside of the square.

Many of the people of the Papal States gathered around the fountain pool, some bent over with their hands together and silently chanting prayers in their mouths, others sitting on the ground with their hands outstretched and their eyes looking straight at the sky, but without making a sound, and still others kneeling down in earnest worship.

The first time Fei De saw this kind of religious ceremony, when he was in his hometown, there were also some villagers who were religious, and there was a small church built at the expense of the townspeople, but he did not go there except for one time when a relative died. Because in Feide's heart, he has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he feels that people's fate is in their hands, not at the mercy of heaven - this is a rare agreement with his father Faulkner.

The crowd was praying and worshipping in their own ways, and Koth pulled Fidel into the crowd, curious to see what was in the middle of the pool.

Fidel noticed that most of the crowd were wearing light-colored clothes, mostly white, and he glanced at the style and color of the dress on Kesi's body, and estimated that white was the dominant color in the city.

The two of them walked to a place with a wide view, and found a man in the middle of the pool dressed in yellow, somewhat like the yellow of the Church Order. The man was disheveled, and lay his whole body on the flat ground in the middle of the pool, his limbs stretched out at will, without the solemnity of the other crowds, and he looked like a beggar.

Kosi pointed to the man and said, "You see, the man is not wearing trousers, and his yellow robe is very long and wide, like a carpet wrapped around him." ”

But as soon as the Duke's daughter had finished speaking, a woman beside her took Koss's hand and told her to kneel, and the woman whispered, "Don't be rude to the Pope!"

Kesi was a little surprised, and she hurriedly asked, "This is the Pope of the Papal States?" The man with the disheveled hair was a little old, and there were some gray hairs in his hair, but the man looked more like a homeless man than the Pope, because from such a distance, he could be seen covered in dirt.

"You must be outsiders! I don't even know the Pope, and now that the Pope is communicating with the Father, we all have to bow down very reverently to have a chance to hear the Father's teachings!" the woman said as if she were showing off the treasures of her own home.

Kesi was even more curious, as far as she knew, the Papal States had always been the archbishop holding the power of the entire religious state, and the Pope was just a vase figure with a vain "divine right", which was well known to everyone in the Duchy of Delamain.

The Pope stood up suddenly, and the woman immediately pulled Fede and Cox to their knees, "Get down!
