After receiving Ore's order, Ryder, the head of the Teutonic Knights' Division, and Uther, the leader of the Legion of Light, went to the Cathedral of Andorra la Vella almost immediately, especially Uther, who was in Alpine City, and rushed to Andorra City in a few hours.

After meeting Ryder and Uther, Oreh directly stated his plan, which is to thoroughly investigate Storm Castle, and if Duke makes any changes or resistance, the Legion of Light will suppress it by force.

After hearing Auray's words, Ryan was a Teutonic knight after all, and asked more calmly: "Archbishop, has this matter been reported to the cardinal, and has the French Empire been notified?"

According to the laws of the Holy See, the general army of light needs the highest clergy of a country's diocese, that is, the cardinal, to take the initiative against the secular leaders in the diocese. At the same time, it is customary to communicate with the king or emperor before using force.

Whether the king or the emperor agrees or not, this step still needs to be had, after all, the imperial power is too oppressed, and even if it is ignored, no one knows which emperor will not be humiliated and choose to resist.

This kind of thing is not unheard of in history, not to mention Henry IV of the French Empire, when the French Empire was at its most powerful, he tried to challenge the Holy See. It's just that he still far underestimated the strength and influence of the Holy See, and in the end he could only kneel outside the Holy City in humiliation and ask for the Pope's forgiveness.

Henry IV was not the first, and predictably certainly not the last. Although the Holy See of Light is not afraid of any country to resist, if all secular monarchs choose to resist, maybe the Holy See of Light will not be so easy to deal with.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Holy See pays attention to a balance on the mainland, does not interfere too much with secular power, and maintains its own transcendent image. At the same time, from time to time, he also knocked on the monarchs of various countries to make them understand who is the real boss on this continent.

Just like the French Empire encountered a large-scale attack by the Milan Empire this time, it is difficult to say that there is no shadow of the support of the Holy See behind it. The decline of the French Empire for hundreds of years was also the punishment of the Holy See for challenging his authority by Henry IV.

However, when the French Empire was about to suffer a crisis of destruction, the Holy See forced the Hans Empire not only not to take advantage of the fire, but to help the French Empire resist the impatience of the northern barbarians.

Ole had actually been prepared for Ryder's questioning, and the biggest problem this time was that he did not get the cardinal's authorization, and even violated the cardinal's order.

Of course, of course, Ole would not tell Ryder about the content of the magic message, so he could only reply from the height of faith: "The cardinal already knows about this, but there is no direct evidence that Duke colluded with the Dark Witch Society. However, in order to prevent the cultists of Stormcastle from being poisoned by witches and dark mages, and to prevent Stormcastle from being controlled by the dark forces, we must investigate it as soon as possible. ”

Ole said a lot, and the answer was actually one, that is, there was no order from the cardinal. So Ryder hesitated for a moment at this time and said, "Archbishop, why don't we wait for the cardinal's decree before we consider sending troops." ”

As soon as Ryder's words fell, before Ole could speak, he heard Uther say from the side: "Ryder, I very much agree with the Archbishop, Stormcastle must be occupied by the dark forces, and we must solve the problem of Stormcastle before the dark forces can spread steadily." I have a hunch that Duke of Stormfort and his Storm Army will become our enemies!"

Uther's expression was more serious, and he was more familiar with the situation at Stormcastle than Ole and Ryder. More than half a year ago, Storm Fort was an abandoned border town, and the Bright Army, who originally planned to support Storm Fort, only chose to be stationed on the wall of Alpine City to watch.

Unexpectedly, Storm Castle repelled the Ice Demon's attack, and it also underwent earth-shaking changes. Until Stormcastle conquered Alpine City, Uther didn't take the Stormtroopers seriously, because that time was really a matter of luck, and Stormcastle was just such a small number of people.

But with the Stormtroopers fighting the Spartan Legion outside Andorra, Uther finally began to face up to the lord's army. During this time, he was in Alpine City, and he had been paying attention to the movements of Storm Castle, knowing that Storm Castle had always been expanding its army, and he was also planning to build a new city.

In fact, the most unacceptable thing for Uther was that Duke, no matter when, he did not have the respect and humility of ordinary people in the face of the Holy See. Even when Stormcastle was at its most dangerous, Duke didn't bow down to the Illuminati, hoping to be rescued by them.

In fact, people's minds can be seen from small details many times, and Duke is not afraid of the Cult of Light, which is definitely an abnormal thing for a small lord. This reminded Uther of Duke's eyes when he left Alpine City, full of confidence, provocation and arrogance, and from that moment on, Uther had a feeling that Duke would become his enemy in the future.

For the enemy, it is natural to nip it in the bud, so this time Uther agreed with Archbishop Ore's opinion very much, and directly sent troops to eradicate Storm Castle, so that these lords on the continent can once again see the majesty of the church, so that they can learn to be in awe of the Holy See!

"Well said Uther, we can't let Storm Castle become a breeding ground for the Dark Witch Society on the continent, let alone let him grow into an enemy, so this time we must thoroughly investigate Storm Castle, even Castle is no exception!"

In the face of Ore's firm tone with Uther, Ryder understood that there was no point in saying more, since Ore's decision was made by the archbishop, then he could follow Ore's fatwa. If the cardinal does pursue it at that time, he will only be acting on orders.

Uther's departure from Alpine City was discovered almost immediately by the spies planted in Alpine City. It's just that the spies didn't know what Uther's goal was, and they just thought that they were going to Andorra City for normal teaching affairs, so they didn't list it as a dangerous state and urgently notified Storm Castle.

So Duke didn't know all this, and he thought that Ore's investigation into the witches of Stormcastle had ended with the intervention of Cardinal Leonard.

In fact, if Duke's intelligence line could be extended a little more and placed in Andorra City, then he would be able to detect the movement of the Teutonic Knights as soon as possible. But all this was an afterthought, and by the time Duke realized something was wrong, the Holy See Teutonic Knights had already entered the city of Alpine.
