Chapter 427: Outbreak of Epidemic
The supernumerary clergyman, seeing that the rest of the people were intimidated by the majesty of the city hall officials, became silent, did not say a word, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I remember that His Royal Highness the Grand Duke once said: We must respect the beliefs of all soldiers and civilians! Whether it is the gods worshiped by the desert people or the goddess of light worshiped by the people in the northwest, they will treat them equally, and they will never force others to convert to other gods and deprive them of their faith in life?"
The official glanced at the troublemaker, nodded, and said, "That's right, the Grand Duke did say so, that's why I allowed you to be presumptuous here, instead of arresting you as heretics or thugs and throwing you into prison." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The supernumerary clergy was speechless for a moment, he obviously felt that there was a trace of unkindness in the official's tone, and he felt that if he continued to make trouble, maybe one day, his body would be found in a stinky ditch?
"Please help us relay this to His Highness, and ask him to build at least one Church of Light for us to worship. The clergy bent down and said sincerely.
"I will inform the Grand Duke of your words, but I still advise you not to have any illusions, in order to resist the attack of demons and accommodate more people to the greatest extent, a building like a church that occupies a huge area and has little use should not be rebuilt in the next fifty years, right? Of course, I do not mean to be disrespectful to the gods when I say this, it is just the truth...... The gods are loving and merciful, and I don't think they care about it in their hearts. The official said.
......
After watching this farce, Li Jun withdrew his eyes, even if he was sitting in the Duke's castle, on the chair in the bedroom, his spiritual power was enough to penetrate the wall, reach a long distance, and feed back everyone's every move, the change in expression, and the ups and downs of the tone into his mind.
"My lord, what are you going to do with that clergyman?" Tuo Er knocked on the door and came to Li Jun's side, asking softly.
"Leave him alone, let the eyes of the Bird Hall keep an eye on the new town, and properly stir up the emotions of the believers of light. Li Jun said.
Tuoer was stunned, now the branch of Bird Zhaitang in Modu City is under Tuo's full control, monitoring the movements of officials, new urban areas, and troops, after hearing Li Jun's words, Tuo'er was full of questions and asked: "What does this mean, my lord? Please make your subordinates clear." ”
"In my hometown, there were such eight words: people's hearts are unpredictable and fickle, this person, the heart is the most fickle, when the life in front of him is extremely comfortable, and the previous days of exile and flight, forming a world of difference, the human heart is often the most fickle, the most easy to manipulate, inciting the believers of light, in order to inspire their hearts, the remaining trace of faith, protest the city hall, protest me, the attitude is resolute to build the church of light, and the city hall will be suppressed everywhere, prevaricating for various reasons, at this time, they will come up with a way, that is, to build a church by themselves。 ”
"Build it yourself?" Toll was puzzled and said, "But the city hall has clearly stipulated that in order to accommodate more people, such as churches, manors, villas, etc., such buildings that occupy a large area are not allowed to be built in the future, even if they want to build their own, it is against the regulations." ”
The area of a church is at least comparable to that of a manor, and the luxury and atmosphere of the church have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, in order to build the church in their minds, those bright believers will use more houses to build, and each person's house is unique, and it is a violation of the law to occupy other people's houses, so they can only contribute their own houses, and spend a lot of money to buy adjacent houses, open up the walls, connect them together, and build a building-style church, it is estimated that when a church is built, those believers will also go bankrupt, and the sacredness of the church is destined not to allow too many believers to eat, drink and Lazar in the church, where will the believers who have no house live"Street? That's going to be kicked into prison by the vigilantes, hotels? How can they have so much money!"
Tuo Er was already dumbfounded when he heard this, and felt that Li Jun's plan was too bad.
Li Jun ignored Tuo's expression, and continued complacently: "When they are cornered, who do they think of at first? It must be that they live in the church, eat and drink without worry, and another person occupies such a large place, that supernumerary clergyman, the request will not be of the slightest use, and the clergyman will only refuse all kinds of "unreasonable" requests from believers in the name of being a god who cannot be blasphemed, talking about countless doctrines, etc., such as providing housing, providing money subsidies, and so on. ”
"At this point, believers who were not too firm in their belief in the 'light' will collapse in an instant, when they are in endless regret, grief and despair...... City Hall, you can make a shot......"
"The comfort and stability of personal life, compared with the so-called faith, how many people can stick to the end for the sake of faith?" Li Jun whispered, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.
......
Bright Line, Gabion Cathedral.
It was another difficult defensive battle, but fortunately, the human alliance suppressed the demon's attack again.
Iron Eagle gasped and threw the broken cross sword aside, only to hear a crisp "clank" sound, and the sword suddenly broke into several pieces of silver and shining iron.
"Bring me a sword!" Iron Eagle shouted at one of the soldiers.
"Yes, Lord Knight!" beside him, the young soldier hurriedly agreed.
Iron Eagle, the new knight chief of the Bright Knights, has a very high fighting spirit, and he is only thirty years old, and he has already served as the chief of the Knights, and an old bishop once predicted that within fifty years, the Iron Eagle Knight will be able to sit in such a high position as a knight chief.
The battle of Gabbion Cathedral was far more tragic than the Battle of Isfaro Cathedral.
Here, sixty percent of the elite troops of the human alliance are deployed, such as the Knights of Light, the Templar Inquisition, the Heavy Cavalry Legion, and so on.
More than 80% of the fire mages in the mainland formed several regiments and guarded a certain section of the city wall, while the mages who practiced light magic went to the Cathedral of Ifaro to fight against the army of the undead.
But as the war progressed, more and more fire magicians died of exhaustion, rather than death, and the bones under the city were piled up into mountains, and whenever the demons retreated, a large number of fire magicians needed to release their magic, incinerate the corpses, and then combine it with several tons of fire oil, burn it thoroughly, and turn it into black ashes.
Looking at the pale faces of the fire mages who were carried down by the soldiers for treatment, Tie Ying's heart became heavier and heavier, he didn't know how many times the coalition could resist, how many times the demons attacked, if it developed according to the current situation, if there was no reinforcement support, within five years, the Gabien Cathedral would definitely be breached.
"Ahem!" Suddenly, there was a coughing sound in his ears, and Tie Ying looked at it, it was a young soldier, who had just turned fifteen years old this year, and after three months of short training, he was sent to the front line by the training camp.
"Do you have a cold?" Iron Eagle asked, glancing over.
The young soldier hurriedly stood up, gave a standard military salute, and said, "Report to the knight, maybe you didn't cover the quilt at night, and the weather is getting colder, so you are infected with cold." ”
"Put on a few more clothes in a while, and may the Goddess of Mercy bless you and get well soon. Iron Eagle said.
"Thank you, Lord Knight!" the young soldier shouted excitedly, and a brave knight of light actually spoke to me. The loyal guard of the great goddess is also known as the 'First Knight'!
Tie Ying patted the young soldier on the shoulder, dragged the heavy metal shield, came to the canteen, made a bowl of beef and persimmon soup, three steamed buns, and a plate of spicy pickles, squatted in a corner of the city tower, and began to eat lunch.
The young soldier and several recruits of the same age sat together, talking and laughing, they must be fellow villagers, right? Tie Ying thought so in his heart.
However, Tie Ying found that the young soldier's cough became more and more intense, and the surrounding recruits also coughed.
Tie Ying frowned, and suddenly, he coughed in pain, and subconsciously coughed.
Suddenly, Iron Eagle opened his pupils, and as if he realized something, he suddenly stood up, took the newly made Cross Sword of Light, and walked over to the young soldier, and suddenly startled the latter.
"Knight, what's wrong with you?"
"You all stand up and stand still! the rest of the people get out of the way for me, and retreat at least ten meters away, quick!" Iron Eagle shouted, and the rest of the soldiers hurriedly listened to the order and dodged far away, leaving only fourteen soldiers, including the young soldiers, plus a swordsman officer.
"Iron Eagle, what's wrong?" a knight came over with a sword on his shoulder and wearing bright armor.
"Barney, don't come here!" Iron Eagle shouted, his lips moving slightly, but he didn't say a word. This is the authentic lip language, a skill that every knight of light must learn.
Barney read Iron Eagle's lips, and suddenly, his face showed an extremely shocked expression, just because, Iron Eagle's lips translated: We may be infected with the epidemic!!
......
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, there's an urgent report from the Cathedral of Gabion!" an old servant hurriedly trotted over, clutching a piece of parchment in his hand, on which there was still a trace of magical fluctuations, apparently just touched by a magician, tainted with the mage's breath.
The Pope spread out the parchment, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly, and a cluster of pure flames emerged from his palm, and the parchment suddenly turned to ashes.
"Order!, order the Grand Commander to urgently go to the Cathedral of Gabion, where he will be in charge of the treatment and aftermath of the epidemic, isolate all infected soldiers and civilians, and urge the fire magicians to expedite the incineration of the corpses piled up under the city and on the towers!" exclaimed the Pope.
The old servant was secretly surprised, and when the Pope ordered the Grand Prefect to accept this matter, he already knew in his heart: the Pope ...... I'm going to make a ruthless move!(To be continued.) )
