Chapter 201: The Year of Peace

Two hours later, a fire completely destroyed the town of Villari, which had no survivors, and burned it to ashes.

The small town of Villari has been reduced to a pile of ruins with smoky black smoke.

After that, under the orders of the jackal, the mercenary group rested for a while, and continued to sweep towards the next ghoul stronghold.

When it was dark, William and his men swept a total of four or five villages and towns along the way, and without exception, no trace of the lucky ones was found.

William felt a deep sense of mental and physical exhaustion.

In other parts of Haimanxing Province, it is likely that there will not be a single living person to be seen.

William sighed in his heart that he would continue to sweep away the ghouls and completely handed over the task to the members of the mercenary group. And he himself returned to Yuanxin Water City overnight.

After spending a few days in the city of Round Water, the Church of Light sent a cardinal archbishop to take over the Templars.

It's another tiring negotiation.

In the end, William chose to compromise.

He offered a piece of land for the church to build a church in exchange for accusations that the Church of Light was fully involved in exterminating the ghouls.

The Jackal Mercenary Regiment was also summoned back by William.

Seeing the church being built day by day, William also let people put a lot of eyeliner around the church to secretly inspect every move of the church.

On the seventh day, in the Duke's Palace and Governor's Palace, in the study of the Duke's Palace and the Governor's Palace in the center of the Yuanxin Water City, William secretly met with Kane.

As a former Templar of the Church of Light, Kane was unusually familiar with the people of the Church. At that time, William gave Kane the task of monitoring the church without hesitation.

Kane is doing a great job, and he's bringing something new about the church today.

William sat on a large leather chair in his study, sipping hot coffee and listening to Kane with great patience.

Kane spoke in great detail.

According to the eyeliner report of his subordinates, early this morning, in the church, the cardinal archbishop who was responsible for cleaning up the ghouls of the entire Sea Manxing Province left Yuanxin Water City by boat with more than a dozen white-clothed priests.

After that, he made up for the supplies in the small town outside Yuanxinshui City, purchased a dozen horses, rode them, and went straight to a village in Haimanxing Province.

That village is called Dia Village, and the population is around a thousand. It is a relatively large village in Haimanxing Province, and its residents have been fishing for generations.

Half a month ago, when the ghoul plague had just broken out in various provinces, Crean had reported to William that he had accepted more than 100 survivors of Dia Village.

And now the village of Dia, which has long since fallen, has been captured by ghouls and has become one of the strongholds occupied by ghouls.

What is the cardinal archbishop leading more than a dozen white-clad priests to do in Dia Village? It is obvious that he has begun to eliminate ghouls, but William feels that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"That cardinal archbishop was too strong, I followed him secretly, and I was almost exposed. Later, a fire broke out in the village of Dia, and the entire village was burned down. ”

"After the cardinal left, I checked around the ruined village of Dia, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Knight Kane said in a deep voice, finishing his debriefing.

After hearing this, William nodded and told Kane to retreat.

He sat alone in his study, and despite some physical and mental restlessness, or rather a complete belief in the Church of Light, he couldn't find anything that made him suspicious.

"Could it be...... Is it really that I am too careful?" William smiled bitterly, unable to figure it out, and no longer thought about it.

For a period of time, the cardinal archbishop in the church often led the priest team out to clear out the remaining ghouls in the Sea Manxing Province.

Kane spied on him for a while, and after finding nothing out of the ordinary, he gave up on surveillance.

Seeing the time pass day by day, in the blink of an eye, summer has passed, and autumn is coming.

The fallen leaves on the branches of the trees fell one after another.

Autumn is a good season, not hot, not cold.

In the Yuanxin Water City, the church was renovated and expanded again, and the previous small church became the famous Guangming Church rudder in the Yuanxin Water City, enjoying a high reputation in the Yuanxin Water City.

Even, many people in the water city joined the church, and were personally received by an enthusiastic white-clothed pastor, becoming a glorious part of the Church of Light.

For this matter, William chose to open one eye and close one eye. Completely uninquisitive.

He deals with the affairs of the Water City in name and manages the normal operation of the Water City in the center of the circle. Privately, it prevented trade again and again.

Each time, a merchant team composed of jackal mercenary regiments, loaded with various daily necessities, was transported to the Elven Forest outside the borders of the empire, or to trade in the Aaron Mountains where the orcs are located.

The elves didn't mention it, but on the side of the Aaron Mountains where the orcs were located, William bought a lot of grain and seeds, and secretly helped the orcs under the banner of doing business.

The food crisis of the orc race has been alleviated, and it has been maintained to a situation where there is not enough to eat, but it is also not hungry to death.

On the entire continent, whether it is the human race, the elf race, the orc race, or the dwarf race, they are all at peace and have ushered in a forged peace.

The Holy Spirit Empire calendar year 757. This year is the year of autonomy of the Holy Spirit Empire.

Her Majesty Queen Anne Charlie, the tenth ruler of the Empire, has come to prominence.

In the court, she was sharp and cultivated her allegiance, and in the affairs of the empire, she made great efforts to implement small-scale policy reforms, and the results were unprecedented.

In the era of His Majesty Charles IX, the bad influence of the coup d'état in the imperial capital was eliminated little by little, and the empty national strength of the empire was rapidly restored;

This year, ghouls were completely eradicated, and the Church of Light even announced that it had developed a cure for the ghoul plague.

As a result, the Church of Light became famous, and the number of church members who began to worship the Goddess of Light became more and more numerous.

And William also deeply rooted the operation of Yuanxin Water City. It can be said that the province of Haiman has another name: the province of Leice.

A province named after the Rester family.

In the so-called 'province of Leicester', home to the famous Imperial Football World Cup, it has gradually evolved into a new industry as the sport has become more prosperous and larger.

Not only football, but also basketball, horse racing, tennis, badminton...... It's also famous.

Even, the noble lords of other provinces followed suit and built corresponding football fields and racecourses for entertainment.

It is said that some poor nobles have also set up a special football team for this purpose, in order to hold the next World Cup in Yuanxin Water City, participate in the championship, and win rich bonus gold coins......

Later history books record that the 757th year of the Holy Spirit Empire is known as the Year of Peace. (To be continued.) )
