Chapter 190: The Blood of Sin
Rhodesia region, Ciudad Rinero.
The city was mottled and lost its former splendor and hustle and bustle, and the city was full of people in red robes, who stood on either side to extradite the arrivals. The strange disease has been spreading for more than a week, and more and more refugees are suffering from the disease, and in order to survive, they have to choose to worship the Cult of the Blood God in order to pray for a cure.
People always think of themselves as noble creatures, but when they are in crisis or disgusted, they will despise different kinds of people.
The salt-soaked leather whip slapped those who walked more slowly, and each time it was swung and drawn, it was marked with blood, and the surrounding noisy and invulnerable sounds were endless.
This group of people will be baptized with holy water to complete the purification and dissolve the curses on their bodies, although they can guarantee immortality, they will become the lowest believers, the men will work to build the temple, and the women will become playthings for the upper believers to vent.
This curse occurs at different times depending on the person's physical fitness, but the average person usually takes a week. The Scarlet Cult has been letting the news out for two days, and in the past two days, countless refugees have poured into the city controlled by the Scarlet Cult.
Lawrence, dressed in the costume of the Scarlet Cult, sat on a chair and was responsible for distributing the purified people, and he spent a lot of money to dredge a priest who was in charge of the city of Rineru, and the priest was very happy to be the head of half of the place.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening, and Lawrence and a few of his companions who had just met the Scarlet God went to a nearby tavern to drink and talk until late at night.
The whole city was lifeless, and the silence was terrible.
Lawrence's face was full of kindness, and he held the drunken Scarlet Cultist, and his heart was full of bitterness. What is this called, he is obviously still a military student of Wangdu Academy, but he didn't expect to become a spy now and mingle around a group of bastards.
"See you tomorrow, my friend. The drunken Christians waved at Lawrence.
"Goodbye. Lawrence said with a smile, but in his heart he wanted to kill the people in front of him.
After parting, Lawrence returned to his temporary residence, took out a magical letter from his pocket, he wrote down everything in the past few days, folded the letter into a paper crane and threw it out of the window, watching the paper crane flutter its wings and disappear into the air.
Earl, call quickly, I don't feel like I can handle these people now. Lawrence said to himself.
In an abandoned house next to Lawrence's house, Eve closely watched Lawrence's every move.
"Sister Sana, when do you say the master can call, do you want me to slaughter this place first?"
Sana sighed and shook her head slowly, Arthur had lifted her restraints, and she had recovered her memory, as Arthur said to her alone a few days ago, now neither the church nor the organization she had been in would let her go easily, and now she had to follow Arthur's path, unless she could break the contract of "imperial authority" and escape the arrest of the organization and the church respectively.
"Eve, what's the use of you doing this, you will only reveal your position. You have blood streaks, don't you feel like there's something wrong here?"
"There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but the aura here is weird, and the power of faith flows underground. ”
Seeing that the lights on the opposite side had gone out, Eve quietly closed the window. Arthur asked the two to spy on Lawrence, but Lawrence didn't have any abnormalities, and the past few days were very boring.
During the day, Eve sneaks up on Lawrence, and at night Sana patrols the city in hopes of finding the opponent's weaknesses.
On the table in the room was the holy water stolen from the Scarlet God Cult, this holy water can purify the curse, Sana is an elf after all, the magic immunity is very high, Eve's immortal curse has no effect on her, the two stole the holy water, but no one knows if the holy water can really purify the curse.
"There shouldn't be any big deal here, you take the holy water to the master, and I'll just keep an eye on Lawrence here. Sana reminded.
"Well, I'll be back as soon as possible. Eve nodded slightly.
.....................................
"How's the logistics going?"
Arthur sat in his chair and asked a commander in charge of grain reserves.
The man shook his head slowly.
"My lord, our food can only last for two days, there are too many refugees now, and Baron Elda's food is still enough, but yesterday another group of people came, and now the situation is quite bad. ”
Arthur gritted his teeth, he glanced at the plan of Lil's fortress, this fortress can be called an impregnable fortress, if you really want to attack, you can only use a pile of people. The Lear Fortress is one of the facades of the Rhodesia region, known as the Iron Gate, which divides the whole of Rhodesia into east and west, and the soldiers are also a battleground.
"I see, give me another night, I need to think of a suitable solution. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Throughout the map, the fortress of Lil sits on a high point and has a wall of 50 meters high, and all the walls around it are made of square core rock boulders with a length and width of 0.5 meters, which are nothing but hard. The Rhodesia region is rich in this stone, which was originally extremely heavy, even twice as heavy as the same volume of mixed iron, so you can imagine how strong the fortress was as strong as the whole fortress.
Lear Fortress has more than 20,000 garrisons of the Scarlet Church, which has sufficient military supplies, and originally this fortress belonged to the Viscount Durantley, who was directly under the royal family, but this unlucky nobleman was killed as soon as he was mutined by the three lieutenants under his command, and the Scarlet Church soldiers captured the entire fortress without blood.
Arthur has 500 people under the command of Wang Yao, the Knights of the Knights, the Resistance Army has more than 6,000 people, different equipment, and the combat effectiveness cannot be counted, the Lil Fortress can accommodate 100,000 people, and the materials are sufficient, and if you take it, you can solve the western rebellion, and it is better to close the door and fight the dog than to be locked up by the dog, I don't know how many times.
The Scarlet Church mainly controls the eastern part of the western region and is not the main area of the uprising, and the resistance of the nobles has not been devastated, so it is necessary to keep so many people for Arthur, which also shows that the other party does not really have the command talent who can really command and dispatch. The level of education of the nobles is not comparable to that of the commoners, and even though the Scarlet Church has a very strong power, it is always wandering around, and it does not know how to attack in a group at all.
Arthur took a quill and marked the entire eastern region, the western region was all red, and the eastern region was liberated by Gawain's high-flying march, and the remaining Scarlet Cult realized that the crisis was beginning to converge.
"It's not a good idea to hear you're attacking Fort Lear. At some point, Ronin and Gianna walked into the room.
"Do you have any great ideas, or suggestions?" said Arthur, looking at Gianna.
Gianna shook her head. "The fortress of Lil is a key place in Farin, and it will be too difficult to take it without destroying him. It would have been easier if you had given me permission to use magic with Ronin, and Priest Morgan. ”
"No, it took 8 years to build this fortress, and it took more than 100 years to build it, who has the courage to rebuild it after destroying it like this?"
