142 Strengthening the defence
The author has something to say: When I saw the recent maternal deaths, I remembered Lao She's "Hugging Sun", and I recommend everyone to watch it
The first step in strengthening the bishop's defense, Luo Yi started by strengthening the bishop's own force.
Before, the bishop strongly asked the Great Demon King to customize a weapon for him, in case he was hammered by the knight who suddenly realized that one day, Luo Yi thought twice at that time - she had to ensure the safety of the bishop, but also not let the beauty of the fire brigade be ruined...... You can't break your belly!
Then, she thought of the riot forks used by the armed police in the 21st century.
This thing is good, it is a long weapon, it can make up for the height difference between the bishop and the knight, and it can restrain the knight's hammer with its length and shortness, and it will not cause a phase-breaking or belly-breaking effect on the knight.
With an idea, she drew a design and made a steel riot fork in the ironworks.
After the custom-made riot fork was ready, she took it in her hand and looked in the mirror.
Hey, with a bun on his head and a steel fork in his hand, it's almost a tail on his ass......
This thing is obviously not suitable for the bishop to hold all day, and it seems that he can only make a cameo appearance as a farm tool and pitchfork when he goes to the countryside to work.
If it is a real failure, a defensive weapon that cannot be carried with him all day, the bishop will certainly not accept. And let him swing around with a pitchfork all day long...... Luo Yi felt unbearable when she imagined that picture!
What can I do?
Now that the work of defending the bishop is very urgent, Luo Yi is in a hurry to get his senses, and he is inspired by the fantasy novels he read back then—those protagonists tend to disdain the ornate weapons, and all they look at are broken copper!
So Luo Yi did the opposite, and decorated this riot fork as much as he could.
The head of the Riot Fork has been transformed into the image of St. Aubrey, the protector of the city of Turnnest, with a white headless corpse - the headless corpse's hands are raised high, just hiding the teeth of the Riot Fork. The craftsman has done it so skillfully that from a distance, the riot fork looks like a cane with wings ready to fly
of seagulls.
As for the handle of the riot fork, Luo Yi also made a detailed decoration, pasted silver and gold on the outside of the stainless steel, and asked the craftsman to carve a variety of decorative patterns of exotic flowers and plants, birds and animals on the gold and silver sheets. On top of the thin sheets of gold and silver, they were inlaid with red garnets and other brightly colored gemstones to make the eyes and flowers of birds and beasts
of the chrome.
By the time the riot fork reached the bishop, it was as gorgeous as a Christmas tree.
Fortunately, it matches the bishop's gold and silver embroidered robes and crowns, as if it was designed to be a bishop's staff rather than a weapon of self-defense.
Moreover, the bishop could no longer go to the wilderness in a small way, and Luo Yi and the others agreed that it would be unwise to leave the city with many guards and go to the wilderness when he knew that someone in the road was going to harm him.
The city, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the bishop, has the right to question every person who enters the city where he came from and what he is going to do, to register every person who sleeps in the city, and to arrest every person who makes trouble and violates the bishop's decrees.
The vast countryside surrounding the city can be said to be in a state of chaos - the diocese of Tournest alone has two counts and twenty barons, as well as many independent knightly fiefdoms, which promulgate and enforce their own laws in their own domains, and often attack each other, as for the church, well, they
They often take the initiative to collect tithes on behalf of the church, and then generously put those taxes into their own pockets.
Luo Yi also thought about setting up a joint defense system in the villages, registering the population, training the militia, setting up sentries in every village and at intersections, and reporting suspicious situations immediately - this system is effective in the liberated areas.
However, when she thought about it, she realized that it was not feasible at all.
Theoretically, the bishop is the lord of the diocese of Tournest, and he has jurisdiction over the nobles under his command, but in practice, those nobles are the ones who listen to the king's words when they are happy, and who are not happy to listen to them and immediately rebel. Moreover, they themselves often do things that block the road, rob and bully women, and form militia associations
Defense, isn't this just against these nobles? Will they be able to allow their subjects to restrain themselves in turn?
Besides, the aristocrats, looking at the face of the church and the jingling things, agreed to engage in militia joint defense, and they themselves were too lazy to come out to rob and nest at home as otaku, so there were so many outsiders on the road!
The economy of the Diocese of Tournest is not a closed natural economy, and its income depends largely on foreign merchants, pilgrims, traders, and migrant workers from all over the country.
Unlike the land of the Central Plains, where peace has always been enjoyed, it is a normal sight for hordes of armed men to roar through the land of Neustria - local nobles, high-ranking clergy, and even wealthy merchants, each with a group of heavily armed thugs, who dare not go far without them—call those
How can the joint defense team tell which is an assassin, which is a robber, and which is a pilgrim who occasionally works part-time as a robber?
"Meow, when I have the power, I will first bulldoze these lawless nobles and robber knights." The Great Demon King thought indignantly, "This is also worthy of being called a country!" It's like an Arab tribal region! ”
It's a pity that she doesn't have the right now.
So she had to make another inner armor for the bishop to wear close to him.
"Wear it every day, and wear it to bed!" The Demon King roared.
"It's too heavy! I can't do anything with this! ”
"You can't call it the twelve single weights that Japanese women wear!"
Then she turned around and walked away slowly with two fingers over her ears, indicating that she did not accept any follow-up advice from the bishop.
Now, the bishop had unexpectedly gotten rid of the countryside activities that he had hated in the past, but now he hated not being able to go to the countryside even more.
Ah, there's so much he has to do!
He hadn't had time to give his blessing to the chapel of Mangcun, which Baroness Warat had been waiting for for a long time.
He hadn't had time to do the experimental sermon he had planned, a sermon he had carefully prepared after discovering the nature of the devil.
He hadn't had time to visit the villagers of Blue Village before he promised them to go again this year when he went there to preach and bless them last year...... They really don't know how disappointed they will be!
He hadn't had time yet......
He had to spend the harvest festival in the city.
He used to spend the festival in the countryside, and he took the lead in cutting the first ears of grain, which the people cheered as a symbol of good luck – now he could only sit in the church and wait for the ears to be delivered.
But until he finds the mastermind, he can only be trapped in the city.
The careful defense of the bishop lasted for a long time, but there was no second assassination, and the people gradually relaxed.
