Seeing that Gandalf had already left, Hera looked at Duke again, she felt a deep guilt in her heart at the moment, after all, all this was caused by her, if it wasn't for Duke to prove that he had no ill will towards the witch, maybe Duke would not have issued any edict to liberate the witch.

Although Hera never thought of witches as the source of disaster, this time the witches really brought disaster to Stormcastle.

Seeing that Hera wanted to speak again, Duke naturally understood what she wanted to say, all the apologies and guilt were meaningless, and in Duke's heart, this had nothing to do with witches at all, even if there was no witch, Duke would still become an enemy of the Holy See, after all, he was the most determined heretic in this world!

"Hera, I know what's on your mind, and I've stressed this question countless times, so you don't need to say it again. During this time I'm going to ask the witches to work less and keep them together as much as possible, and if something happens to Stormcastle, I'll let you go first. ”

"Also, the reason I asked you to leave first was not because of your status as witches, but because of women and children. I said that since I am a member of Stormcastle, I will treat you all equally!"

When he heard Duke say the words "no discrimination", Hera's eyes were misty. That's right, the witch has completely become a member of Stormcastle, and treating everyone equally not only means that there is no discrimination, but also that there is no special treatment, because in a sense, too special treatment is also a kind of discrimination.

"Thank you, Duke, I see. ”

Hera didn't say anything in the end, bowed to Duke and slowly left the chamber.

Duke often doesn't look like a serious lord, and he doesn't have a so-called aristocratic temperament. But Hera knew in her heart that Duke was a gentleman than all the nobles on the continent, and he was a real man!

Seeing that everyone left, at this time Eren set his eyes on Duke, unlike others, Eren is a personal soldier of the Otto family, he is like a personal entourage and elder, he followed Duke to the original Jedi like Storm Castle, so his relationship with Duke is closer than anyone else. And there are some things that are inconvenient to say, and only Alan can say.

"Your Excellency, this time the Holy See is menacing, and in the thousand-year-old history of the continent, there is no example of a successful challenge to the Holy See, even if it is a great empire that was once prosperous. ”

"If the Storm Castle really can't be defended this time, I have prepared a small boat in the direction of the Sea of Death, and I have also contacted the Tide Tribe, as long as I am not very lucky to encounter the alien beasts in the sea and the fishmen of the Shark Tribe, I should be able to reach the Duchy of Berry along the coastline. ”

"Once you arrive in the territory of the Duchy of Berry, how can the Duke find a way to save you, after all, he is your father. ”

Alan didn't say anything impassioned, just silently arranged a way out for Duke. Hearing Alan say this, if it was the same as before, it is estimated that Duke would be very happy, as long as he does not die, Storm Castle will be gone.

But now it's different, after more than half a year, all the development and changes in Storm Castle have been changed by their own efforts. There's a lot of hard work and sweat in it, and as long as Duke is given some time, a hydraulic boring machine, a steam engine, a cold weapon, and even a storm city will emerge from the ground.

Now you have to give up all this, this is the cruelty of reality. The only thing that makes Duke feel better is that although the Holy See has many dark means to rule, he is also bright in his image in order to be able to rule well. In addition to their characterization of heresy, the Holy See War basically allows ordinary people to live, and the tragedy of slaughtering the city will not happen.

So even if Duke really ran away, at least it wouldn't be as miserable as the previous monster attack.

"Thank you Alan, but we haven't lost yet. ”

Duke replied with a wry smile, although this is a hopeless war, but before he loses, as a commander and leader, he must stick to his post no matter what. If even Duke is scared, how can his men fight?

Just as Duke finished saying this, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, and Carsmai rushed in in a panic at this time, and said to Duke: "Why did the Archbishop of Auray lead the Holy See Army to appear in Alpine City, and didn't the Cardinal already issue a decree prohibiting the investigation of Storm Castle?"

After receiving the news this time, Duke did not inform Kasmai, after all, compared to the others, Kasmai has not shown enough loyalty. But judging from Kasmai's panicked performance, it seems that he also knew.

"I guess you know better than I do. ”

Duke replied helplessly, in fact, he didn't understand why Carsmai had already received the cardinal's magic message, why did this situation still occur, could it be that the cardinal was secretly crossing Chen Cang?

But it's impossible to think about it, just a small role like Storm Castle, the archbishop of a country in the Holy See, still need to play this set? This is absolute strength, and the strong don't need to play any tricks.

"No, it's unreasonable! The cardinal's magic message is absolutely true, could it be that Ole has violated the cardinal's fatwa without permission?"

Kasmai muttered a thought, and it seemed that he was completely panicked. After all, if he is poked out of these things, a papal traitor at the bishop level is estimated to be even more hateful than a heresy, and it can be said that he will die.

However, Carsmail's words reminded Duke, could it be Ole's private actions this time? Duke was not very familiar with the actions and procedures of the Holy See, so he asked Carsmail: "Carsmail, if it is really Ole who violates the cardinal's decree, what will happen?"

"Judgment of Heaven!" Kasmai firmly spat out these four words, the Holy See can stand for a thousand years, which means that the discipline will not be bad.

The Holy See has a fatal inquisition for heresy of outsiders, and they also have a system of judgment for the internal affairs of their own people and the Cult of Light, which is called the Heavenly Judgment!

The origin of the name of the trial is because the internal processing department of the Holy See was set up in the city of Trent in the Byzantine Empire, and whenever a clergyman made a mistake or degenerated, he would be escorted to the city of Trent to be judged by the Holy See.

It's just that compared to the Inquisition, the Heavenly Trial is little known on the mainland, except for the clergy. And there are no ordinary people in Tiante City, which is particularly mysterious, but once the clergy enters Tiante City, it is almost unlucky.
