Chapter 90: The Archbishop of the Central Temple
Like a ripe fruit falling to the ground, hundreds of heads rolled off at the same time, and fountain-like blood gushed out from the empty neck cavity, washing almost the entire Red River Square.
Smelling the smell of blood, the people of Rollin's territory did not feel the slightest fear, but applauded.
In this era where they can be eaten by giants at any time, even ordinary people have a fierce aura in their hearts, and death has long been a commonplace thing for them.
At this time, seeing the wicked being punished, the first thing everyone felt was that the depression in their hearts instantly subsided, and their sense of identification with Luolin's territory was stronger.
Seeing the people who had been completely mobilized, Li Yunfei raised the corners of his mouth and said loudly: "My people, in the future, if anyone dares to offend anyone in Luolin's territory, everyone can work together to give each other corresponding punishments. β
These are not the only people sent by Carden, there should be many who took advantage of the chaos to hide. And as soon as Li Yunfei's words came out, it was equivalent to pronouncing their death sentence!
"Lord Earl Xie!"
"Hahaha, we must get the bounty!"
"Catch, catch the bandits! I can't kill him!"
For a moment, the people were all gearing up, as if they were eager for the bandits to be in front of them, and some young men had already rushed home to get sticks, wanting to start searching for the robbers in the territory of Rollin.
Li Yunfei wants this effect.
When his cheap father Asak was alive, because of Asak's own tyranny and unscrupulousness and Holan's yin and yang, the people of Rollin's territory had no sense of identity with the land they lived in.
Even later, after Li Yunfei inherited the title of earl, he implemented a series of policies to reduce taxes and debts, which only increased the sense of identity of the people in Luolin's territory, but did not have much courage to defend their homeland. After all, unlike the Rollin Iron Guards, they were just ordinary citizens and peasants.
And Li Yunfei has now publicly executed those guys who "pretended" to be Templar Knights, which immediately gave the people confidence in their hearts, and understood that their own earl would definitely support them! From then on, the people who had seen blood would naturally swear to defend their homeland and the territory of Luolin.
This is how the fierce folk customs are formed step by step!
It is conceivable that Li Yunfei will continue to leave the territory and enter the wilderness for a long time in the future, and it is impossible to be so coincidental every time, and he dares to come back when Luo Lin's territory is violated. When the time comes, these loyal people will be needed to defend their homes.
"Martin, take the people and go to give gifts to Archbishop Cusa in the Central Temple. Looking at the hundreds of heads rolling down in the Red River Square in front of him, Li Yunfei said lightly, as if there was just a bunch of cabbage and radishes on the ground.
......
In the center of Roland City, ten kilometers from the Bone City, a towering temple stands tall and looks like a giant castle.
On the roof of the main hall of the temple, at the end of the spire nearly fifty meters high, a huge one-eyed sculpture like a round table stood there, like a cold, majestic and ruthless existence, looking at the human beings in the world.
An attendant in a white robe hurriedly entered the door of the main hall, passed through the corridors of carved beams and paintings, and finally came to the door of a study, knocked lightly, and walked in.
The floor of this study is covered with thick and soft bear skin, a huge crystal chandelier hangs in the center of the study, and the surrounding walls are all kinds of religious paintings decorated with pure gold frames, which look magnificent and majestic.
At this time, there were already five or six people in the study, except for an old man in a white linen robe with a white beard who was sitting on a large sofa with his eyes closed, and two others standing in front of him in a proper manner.
Although the old man looked to be about sixty years old, he was extremely well maintained, and there were few wrinkles on his face. Beside him, there were two long-haired girls in tulle, kneeling beside him, carefully rubbing his shoulders and pounding his legs.
The figures of the two girls are exquisite, their faces are quite beautiful, and the tulle on their bodies can't hide the **** that keeps leaking. It's just that except for the old man, the other people in the room didn't even dare to look at it.
As soon as the attendant entered the house, he fell on his knees, walked forward, and presented a letter to the old man.
β...... The rampant bandits, who dared to offend the majesty of the Father, pretend to be a knight of the Templars, and commit acts of forcible robbery, a crime that is outrageous and outrageous. Fortunately, the army and people of Luolin worked together to fight against the bandits, but although the bandits had been repulsed, they suffered heavy losses and countless casualties. The corpses of some of the fanatics are now presented, and I hope that Archbishop Kusa will uphold justice for my Luolin military and civilians, so as to comfort my heart of fist and apologetic......"
Looking at the scribbled letter in his hand, the old man's originally indifferent expression changed in vain, his pupils shrank, and he said in a deep and cold voice: "Okay, good, good Count Rollin, I'm going to underestimate you......"
This old man is none other than the titular supreme ruler of the entire Roland City Temple, Archbishop of Cusa!
"What about the corpses?" asked Kasa as he knelt on the ground.
"Back to the honorable archbishop, they are all outside. β
"Bring in. β
The attendant immediately walked out on his knees, and after a while he had returned again, only this time, several temple attendants carried in a corpse dressed in black temple robes, and placed it in the large study.
In a short time, dozens of headless corpses were placed on the bearskin blanket, and on top of each corpse, there was also a vulture's bloody head.
Seeing this scene, among the two people who were originally standing in front of Kusa, a man about thirty years old with a slightly longer chin immediately became furious and said in a loud voice: "Archbishop, this Count of Rollin is really too rampant! He dares to attack the Templars! Please give an order, I will take the Templar Knights to attack immediately and send all these heretics to hell!"
"Why, Abbott, do you want to provoke a war between the nobles of the Temple and Roland City?" said Kusa with a cold snort, "As the chief head of the Knights of the Templars, you have enough bravery, but too much wisdom!
Albert immediately looked down at the corpses that had been brought in, and after a moment, he said with a puzzled expression: "There is not a single Templar here, it seems that all of them are Carden's subordinates, and this person here has dealt with me before...... But the robes on their bodies are indeed real Templar robes, there is no doubt that what is going on......"
Ignoring Abbott, Kusa turned to another man in his twenties with triangular eyes and asked, "Dee, tell me what your people have discovered." β
Nadier saluted and said in a hoarse voice: "The Knights of Divine Grace led by Rooney have completely lost their trace, and it is said that after they entered the territory of Lorraine, they completely disappeared, and those who remained in Red River Town seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one knew where they went. β
"That Count of Rollin has already spread the word about the robbery of nobles' private property by bandits posing as Templars, and the whole city of Roland already knows about it. Among the four major temples in the south, east, west, and north, the four bishops were extremely concerned about this matter, and Bishop Ian of the Eastern Temple specially sent an envoy to the central temple to greet them. β
"Where the hell have Rooney and his Knights of Divine Grace gone!, this guy who has more than enough to do and more than to lose!" said Abbott next to him.
Archbishop Kusa snorted coldly and said, "If my guess is correct, they should have been called by the Father long ago. β
"What!? You mean, that Count Rollin, take Rooney and them all...... Kill them all!?" Abbott said in surprise, he really didn't expect the archbishop to say that, and his tone was so affirmative.
Cusa ignored him and continued: "Rooney and his Knights of Divine Grace are just a motley knight order, and they can't even be included in the four major knights, and if they are gone, they are gone. Those who achieve great things must be informal, temporary success or failure is nothing, as long as Yarez Loren is alive, we must continue to endure. β
Arère Rowland, the full name of the Grand Duke of Roland, was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and then relieved. On weekdays, he is referred to as the Grand Duke of Roland, but at this time, he is a little unfamiliar with this name.
"This Roland City is run by the Grand Duke of Roland like an iron bucket, as long as he does not die for a day, the light of the Father will not shine on every corner of the city for a day, we have to endure it. But...... It won't take too long...... According to the information I received, Grand Duke Roland and his henchmen left Roland City this time to find the fire magic marrow to cure the cold disease he left behind back then. Hmph, that fire demon marrow is so easy to find, he is already terminally ill, and he is not far from death. β
"Until then, it wouldn't be a big deal if we held back for a while. Dee, you go and explain this to the Cardinal of Lingyun King City in detail, and tell him that we have done our best. Abbott, you go and reward Count Rollin on my behalf, since he said that he has the heart to defend the Church, the temple should take a stand. After saying all this continuously, Kusa lay down on the sofa, slowly closed his eyes and said, "Go down, I'm tired." β
"Yes, Archbishop!" Diere and Abbott were not stupid people, and they understood what Cusa meant in an instant, and although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to bow respectfully, and retreat with a room full of corpses.
The door to the study closed softly, and only Kusa and the two beautiful maids who served him were left in the room.
Kusa, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes, his face was bruised, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and slapped a maid in the face and shouted, "Bastard thing!"
No matter how strong and calm he is on the surface, how can he, as an archbishop who has always been high above and the head of a giant city, swallow this breath! It's just that as a superior person, he must show his due calmness and calmness, and wait until his subordinates leave, and then it will completely explode.
He grabbed the scribbled letter, as if he had seen the mocking Count of Rollin through it, and he was annoyed.
This kind of naked humiliation, he has never encountered before!
"Saul Rollin...... crumpled the letter in his hand, and Kusa said solemnly: "When Areth Rolland dies, I will see how long you can be arrogant......
