Verse 182: Persuasion

Norman looked ahead through the line and saw only a dense crowd of soldiers, and could not see who was speaking.

The caller was cautious, not showing his head even in such a situation where they had been completely surrounded.

"This is the Free Army of Durham, I think you've all heard the name, and you should know that we are much more gentle than the other bandits, we refuse blood, we love peace. Our targets this time are only those Father-Cult demons, and you, noble gentlemen, have no interest in your lives. ”

The shouter, who didn't know where to hide, was shouting.

Although Norman had a lot of knowledge about the field of spells and the situation in the kingdom during his time in Nicaro, he had never heard of the name "Durham Free Army".

"Durham Free Army?

After hearing Norman's question, Mario, who was standing on the sidelines, immediately explained: "This is the largest sand bandit force operating on the border of Husum and Bonn. ”

The two of them were talking on this side, and the caller on the other side was still shouting.

“...... Give up your senseless resistance, think about your titles, think about your future, you are still young, there is still a good life waiting for you, why do you want to die here in a senseless battle?Come, come out, surrender to us, I promise you, I will never hurt you, and when your family sends enough ransom, we will release you back at once. ”

"Think about it, think of the beautiful and delicate maids in your house, think of your lover, think of the tender foie gras, think of the mellow coffee......"

Norman's eyes lit up.

Listening to this man's meaning, it seems that Archduke Roberts still left them a way to live, and did not intend to give them no way to live.

Surrender, I surrender!

Norman couldn't help but want to surrender first, but he still remembered that Hardy was standing beside him after all, and he was afraid that Hardy would throw a spell to kill him as soon as he saw him take the lead in surrendering, so he didn't dare to act rashly for the time being, but looked around quietly first.

Don't talk about the few that the father taught, people made it clear that they wanted to kill them, these words were naturally nonsense for them, and the expressions of those nobles of Nicaro were worth studying.

Herbert still looked pale, but his eyes were not as dull as just now, but regained a glimmer of life, silently looking ahead and not knowing what he was thinking.

Armstrong, June and other members of the Skull and Bones Society were still arguing and complaining quietly, but the voices were much smaller than before, and the number of people arguing had also decreased, and those who Norman didn't know might have been added from Bonn, Husum and other places, and they were not like a few knights of the Holy Cult Army, all looking silently ahead at the moment, their eyes flickering.

Far away, Norman couldn't see how those people reacted.

Judging from the reactions of these people around them, although they were not immediately moved, they were somewhat moved, after all, everyone was afraid of death, not to mention these knights and nobles who were separated from the civilian class and had a rich and happy daily life, they were more afraid of death than those civilians who had nothing.

And everyone also knows that these people around who call themselves "Durham Free Army" are not all of them, but at least most of them should be the private army of nobles, and the person who shouted should be a nobleman, so his words are still credible.

It is only because of the majesty of the Father's religion in the past, because the holy woman is here, because they have been taught by the Father's religion since childhood, that the faith of the church has become an inseparable part of their lives, that they have not rebelled.

The caller seemed to understand the psychology of these people, and the conversation changed abruptly.

"I know that you are steadfast in your oath to the church and to defend the glory of the church, but does it really make sense for you to do so?"

"In this country, everybody is doing their part. The peasants work hard all year round to produce food, the little nobles try to run their farms well, find ways to keep the harvest in the field in the year of famine, when there are wild beasts around, organize people to drive away the wild beasts, and many times even go into battle themselves, the big nobles want to ensure the interests of the small nobles, organize the army to protect these people under his command from the intrusion and attack of other nobles and bandits, ensure that they can produce safely, and put it to a higher level, the big nobles, Even the royal family, too, is doing everything in their power to keep the country running so that people can live on it. ”

"But what did the Father do?"

"They set tithes, whether we were farming, working, doing business, or whatever, we had to pay taxes, and later they issued indulgences and plundered the wealth of the people with impunity. ”

"The nobles have received the money and will do their duty to ensure production and the safety of their own people, but what is the church doing? They have not produced at all, and have plundered this wealth and have done nothing but to build churches and use it for the profligacy and cultivation of the clergy themselves! They are a bunch of greedy devils who lie on us and want to suck every drop of our blood! Why do you sacrifice your precious life for such a group of devils!"

As soon as the words fell, a majestic voice came from the front of the circle array, which was also amplified, low and angry.

"The church educates the people and resists the dragon clan, if it weren't for the church stationed in Baishan, how could the dragon clan not go south for more than a thousand years? If it weren't for the existence of the church, the kingdom would have fallen into flames long ago!"

It's Dominic's voice.

The other party's voice sneered and said, "If the huge wealth plundered by those devils of the Father's God Sect can be used to develop the kingdom's magic business, I believe that a military force much stronger than the Holy See can be established to resist the dragon clan, and even eliminate the dragon clan!"

Then, after a moment's pause, the voice immediately continued: "I was wrong just now, you Father God Sect devils haven't even used these plundered wealth for cultivation, purely to enjoy a luxurious life! Otherwise, how could you be so vulnerable and be flattened by one person half of the White Mountain!"

Dominic didn't say anything more.

It is a fact that more than half of the Holy See was destroyed by Adrian alone, and it is an indelible shame for the Church, and he has no way to refute it when the other party mentions it.

The caller was very clever, and he knew that even if he was clever in his words, everyone had been taught by the Father since childhood, and they all believed in the Father, and it was a huge psychological barrier for them to rebel against the Father, so his next words solved this problem very cleverly.

"These devils of the Father's religion are completely against the will of the Father, they have corrupted the Church of the Father into a cave of their greed, and they have distorted the will of the Father, so noble gentlemen, don't go wrong any more, come here, don't sacrifice your precious lives for these devils!"

That guy creatively split the two concepts of Father's Religion and Father's God!

In this way, the psychological obstacles on the way to surrender of those nobles have been cleared, and a righteous theory has been provided for the nobles of those various realms to choose to surrender: we have not betrayed the Father, but the Father's religion has betrayed the Father, and our surrender is a righteous surrender, an act of true conversion to the Father!

At this time, it is **** not to surrender.

Norman saw that the nobles of the various realms around him looked strange, and no one spoke anymore, and it was obvious that everyone was moved.

It is wonderful to be able to save one's life in a righteous and awe-inspiring way!

Norman was also happy in his heart, so he waited for someone to take the lead, and he followed, but he didn't expect the shouter on the other side who had been beeping to add another sentence at the end.

"Except for the minions of the Father's Cult and the oracle who pretended to be a god, other nobles, gentlemen, and knights, please come over!"

Norman was stunned.

The Divine Messenger who pretends to be a ghost...... It's him, right?

Then the anger in his heart suddenly jumped up, and he was extremely angry.

you! Did Lao Tzu provoke you! Why don't you accept Lao Tzu's surrender!
