"Kasmai, find a way to send a magical message to the Cardinal, tell Ore, that he has violated the Cardinal's Decree, and see what Cardinal Leonard does. If he chooses not to deal with it or support it, you will threaten him to expose the bribery, I would like to see if he is a cardinal, and he is willing to die with a broken place like Stormcastle!"

When Duke said this, there was a kind of determination in his tone that the cardinal might be the only chance for Stormcastle. Because as long as the cardinal is on the side of Stormcastle, even if he defeats Ole, there is no need to worry about the more powerful Holy See army constantly pouring towards Stormcastle.

Of course, the best-case scenario is that Leonard forces Ole to retreat, and the matter is settled.

"Threatening the cardinal?" Casmai replied in horror, this is something he can't think of, isn't threatening the cardinal looking for death?

"Are you scared? Now we have no choice, if the Holy See captures Storm Castle, do you think you still have a chance to stay out of it? Once the matter of Storm Castle is completely exposed, it will not be Ole who will be judged by Tente, but you Carsman!"

That's right, what Stormcastle is doing now is already a heresy among heretics, and once it is truly confirmed by the Holy See, there is only a dead end waiting for everyone. If this is already the case, it is nothing to threaten the cardinals.

In fact, Kasmai is not stupid, during the two years he served as bishop of Stormcastle, he had an account book of the tithes and the amount of Mass money in Stormcastle, and he also kept the evidence for Leonard's contributions. Once this data is exposed, Casmeer will naturally be dead, but it can also pull Leonard into the water.

Now that the situation is clear, as long as Leonard doesn't want to die with Kasmai, he can only join forces to help Stormcastle quell the incident.

Thinking of this, Kasmai also made up his mind, he was firmly tied to Stormcastle. Even if Leonard pursues or assassinates him in the future, unless he sends a large army, he doesn't have to be too afraid if he has the protection of Storm Castle!

And Duke's protection of his own people, Kasmai also sees it, in this case, he did not betray the witch, so he will not hand himself over because of the oppression of the Holy See in the future!

That's why the people of Stormcastle are willing to give Duke their lives, because such lords deserve their lives.

"Alright, I'll go to the Cardinal of Magic Messenger now!"

Kasmai finally made up his mind to say a word, and then walked briskly towards the door, because the Holy See's magic transmission is very special, and it must rely on the Holy See built by the Temple to send and receive it, and it is said that each Holy See has a very complex magic array inside.

That's why Duke only converted the church into a hospital in the first place, and didn't dare to smash it. Because once the church is damaged, the Temple of Light in the Holy City will feel it first, which is also an early warning mechanism of the Holy See itself.

Of course, even if he could smash Duke, he wouldn't have smashed it at that time, after all, Storm Castle was short of resources in all aspects at that time, and it would be a pity to smash such a good building in the church. As a believer in scientific truth, what he pays attention to is practicality, even if it is a good thing for the Holy See, Duke will still transform and absorb it.

As Kasmai walked to the door, as if suddenly remembering something, he glanced back at Duke. Seeing Carsmail's hesitant expression, Duke also looked over, thinking that Carsmail had something to say.

"My lord, we will prevail in the end, for Stormcastle will never fall!"

After saying this, Castlemai hurriedly turned his head and left, he himself didn't know why, as a "pious" bishop, he would support Stormcastle so much. It's not just that I'm on a ship with Duke, it's a voice inside.

After hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Duke's face, which was a slogan issued by himself when the ice demon attacked the city wall. Time has passed, and this sentence can be applied today, Storm Castle will never fall!

Everything was arranged, and Stormcastle began to operate in full swing and into combat readiness. The production of the hydroelectric plant has begun to be reduced, and the technicians and witches are gradually withdrawn to the fort, as the storm army is beginning to assemble and there is no longer enough strength to keep the hydroelectric plant safe.

After all, in addition to the Holy See Army, Duke's hydroelectric factory also faces the threat of monsters and sea tribes. The factory can be built again if there is no talent, but once the talent is gone, it is an irreparable loss, so the spirit of Storm Castle has always been the safety of talents in the first priority!

Outside of Storm Castle, the construction of the Dwarven City has also stopped, because once the war starts, the Holy See army may keep its hands on the humans, but it will definitely not be soft on the dwarves. So the old and weak women and children of the dwarves retreated towards Mont Saint-Michel, and if something really went wrong, they could still live in the caves they had before.

As for the construction of Storm City, it is also in a state of semi-stagnation, and many displaced people have gradually heard the news that the Holy See Army is going to attack Storm Castle, although they don't know what happened, but the Cult of Light is their faith, and many people have begun to flee, not daring to continue to stay in Storm Castle.

However, to Duke's great surprise, Michelangelo did not choose to leave, but planned to stick to the construction of Storm City. When he heard the news from the soldiers, Duke couldn't believe it, this was an ascetic of the Holy See, who belonged to the kind of extremely devout believers, and he didn't choose to leave at this time?

Although Duke is now on the opposite side of the Holy See, Duke admires Michelangelo's talent and artistic attainments, and even met him in person to persuade him to leave early.

After all, the sword has no eyes, and when the time comes, it will really start a war with the Holy See, and neither the Holy See nor the Storm Army can guarantee his safety.

But in the face of Duke's request to let him leave, Michelangelo was still directing the workers in the construction, and said lightly without even looking back: "Although I am an ascetic, my devotion to the faith is only my personal behavior, and I will not impose it on others." In addition to faith, architecture and art are also my spiritual pursuits, especially Storm City, I can imagine that if Storm Fort is built one day, it will definitely be the most coordinated and advanced city on the continent, and even the Holy City cannot be compared!"

When Michelangelo said this, there was an irrepressible excitement in his tone, because many of the designs on Duke's plans were things he had never heard of, so he really wanted to witness the day when Storm City was built!
