"Bell"

There was a crisp bell ringing in the city, and the sound rang three times in a row, indicating the arrival of the bishop. Countless people rushed towards the church like a tidal wave.

The doors of the church were closed, and the towering steps appeared in front of them, and a man in a red robe stood on his own steps, his eyes full of piety.

Below them were hundreds of guardian warriors, divided into two hovers with no end in sight.

Armand walked slowly from the front with Clarence and the others, everyone held their breath, and their hearts beat violently.

Judging from the current situation in the Diocese of Yunwu, the arrival of Bishop Armand will surely touch the hearts of countless people.

After all, their fates have long been tied together, and they can still survive as ordinary people, but as missionaries of the Vulcan Church, they will inevitably be executed by the Water God Church. Because this is a war of faith, the Diocese of Cloud Mist has reached the point where there is no way back.

"Meet the Bishop" The soldiers of the Guardian Legion bowed to Armand, who was slowly walking.

The missionaries also bowed to Armand: "Meet the Bishop"

Armand listened to these voices and did not answer, but walked slowly up the steps and stood outside the church door.

Turning to look at everyone, his gaze gradually became majestic.

"Do you think that the Diocese of Cloud Mist has reached the point of destruction, that this destruction is unstoppable," Armand said to the crowd with a serious face.

Hearing this, all the people lowered their noble heads. The Northern Legion of the Burlingame Empire is about to descend on the city, facing an army like an ocean, except for being easily crushed by the southerners, they can't imagine what kind of outcome they can have.

"The city is in the people, the city is ruined, please rest assured, even if I, the Guardian Legion of the Cloud Diocese, fight to the last man, I will defend the glory of my lord with the heavy sword in my hand," Alec, who was standing below, said loudly to Armand, as a sign of his determination.

Hearing Alec's voice, the hundreds of Guardian Legion soldiers standing on both sides were silent. Thinking of the impending battle, thinking of the Southern Army that had evacuated like a mouse, the echoing voice on his lips was swallowed hard.

Armand took in the expressions of these people, and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his heart.

"Cardinal Halleym, how many people do we have in the city of St. Ga," Armand asked Hiram as he stood next to Alec.

Hiram bowed to Armand: "The city of Shengjia is the largest city in my Cloud Diocese, with a population of more than 100,000, of which 50,000 are young and strong."

"50,000 young and strong, more than 100,000 people," Armand repeated softly, and suddenly his confidence couldn't help but increase.

At this moment, he seemed to have found the most critical place to solve the crisis.

He looked around at the crowd and commanded them, "What do you think of the doctrine of our Vulcan Church?"

"Fire, power, love," Hiram replied to Armand without thinking.

Listening to Halleym's reply, Armand didn't say anything, but looked around at them with his eyes.

Seeing this, the missionaries repeated Hirham's words aloud to Armand: "Fire, strength, love"

"Fire, power, love," the Guardian Legion soldiers also shouted.

Armand's gaze sharpened, and he said solemnly to them, "Your understanding is too one-sided"

"The doctrine of our Vulcan Church should be salvation," Armand's voice was like a thunderclap, and it slammed down on the ground.

Everyone was stunned, and one by one forgot to reply.

Armand took the opportunity to explain to them: "Fire and power are destruction, and what destroys is decay."

"When the rotten things are gone, we will be redeemed, we will be reborn, and we will be filled with the power of charity," Armand said aloud to the crowd.

I don't know why the Bishop Church is explaining the doctrine at this time, but as a cardinal missionary, Hiram feels entitled and obliged to remind Armand: "Your Excellency, time is running out, should we discuss the matter of defense?"

"I'm talking about defense now," Armand replied to Hiram, but his eyes were on the crowd.

Alec's eyes showed a puzzled look: "Defense matters?"

"How many of the more than 100,000 people in the city are devout followers of our Lord?" Armand asked Alec.

Hiram thought quickly and explained to Armand: "All the people in the city are pan-believers of our lord"

"There are about 30,000 of them," Hiram replied to Armand.

A subtle smile tugged at the corners of Armand's mouth, and then he masked it and continued to say to them, "How many of the devout believers are young and strong?"

"At least 10,000 young men are devout followers of our lord," Hiram said to Armand.

Alec reacted immediately and asked Armand, "Your Excellency, do you want the believers to go up to the city wall to help defend it?"

"Isn't that possible?" Armand asked Alec.

Hiram hurriedly said to Armand: "No, Your Excellency the Bishop must not let the believers go up to the city wall."

"They don't have phantom beasts in their hands, they're just unarmed people, and such people can only lose their lives for nothing if they go up to the wall," Hiram said to Armand.

Armand turned to Hiram and asked, "Then what do you think will be the fate that awaits them after the fall of the Holy Gas?"

"Forced conversion, or death," Hiram replied to Armand.

Armand thought quickly in his mind, and then wisely gave up the idea of directly changing the doctrine, and continued to say to Hiram: "Since they are all deaths, why don't they also go up to the walls to help?

"This?" said Hiram lost in thought.

Armand looked at Alec and asked, "This bishop has left all the defense matters to Captain Alec, I wonder how many days Captain Aggreko can hold out?"

"With only the five thousand warriors of the Diocesan Guardian Legion, I can only hold out for a week at most. And it was only when the main force of the Northern Army of the Burlingame Empire did not arrive that this difficult task could be accomplished," Alec said to Armand.

Armand continued to ask Alec, "If you let those 10,000 devout believers come, can you hold out a few more days?"

"The subordinates do their best, but there are no absolute guarantees," Alec replied to Armand.

Armand's eyes looked at Hiram: "Cardinal missionary, you lead the missionaries to the city to mobilize the devout believers of our lord, and let them all come and defend the city."

"Just young?" Hiram asked Armand.

Armand shook his head: "All people, all devout believers in our Lord, should do their part for our Lord at this time"

"But," Hiram wanted to retort, but he swallowed his words in the light of the upcoming battle.

Armand looked at Clarence: "You also go to the aid of the Red Missionaries of Hiram and mobilize the devout believers of our Lord"

"Yes," Clarence bowed to Armand and shouted.

A doubt flooded in his heart, Hiram looked at this scene, and asked Armand: "Dare to ask His Excellency the Bishop, what are you going to do?"

"Naturally, do what you have to do," Armand said to the crowd.

Turning to look at the closed door of the church, the fighting spirit on his body spread unabashedly, and everyone quickly lowered their heads in shock.

His Excellency the Great Warrior and Bishop is a Great Warrior. Maybe Shengjia City can really be defended, but it is not certain.
