PS: I'm sorry.,The chapter name of the previous chapter was transferred incorrectly.,Chapter 202 was copied to the chapter name of Chapter 203.,But the content is right.,It doesn't affect the reading.,Hehe.。
"Haven't you found the whereabouts of the archbishop yet?" Arya couldn't help but look sad when she heard her subordinates' report, she was much more haggard now than she was a month ago, and she hadn't laughed for a long time since Link left.
Although everyone advised Arya not to worry, she just couldn't let go, and when the mercury lamp and the other spirit pets returned, but she didn't see Link, she almost rushed to Crescent City to find someone.
In the end, although Arya was appeased by everyone, she was depressed and kept sending people to find Link's whereabouts, but every time she only got the news that disappointed her.
Now that the Church of the Fathers has been attacked by powerful enemies, Arya is worried, and like many others, she only hopes that Link will come back soon.
In fact, Arya doesn't really care about what the Church of the Father has become, although she likes the current church, she doesn't take the church too seriously, what she really cares about is always Link, she has always given a lot, just to be able to help Link, in her opinion, the entire Church of the Father God is not as important as Link's finger.
This mentality is not known to others, because Arya has never shown it, and it was not until many days after Link's disappearance that some people gradually noticed it, but those people didn't say anything, because the current Father's Church has been adjusted and developed by Link, and Link's thoughts have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the church without Link cannot be called Father's Religion.
That night, a strategic meeting was held at the top to discuss countermeasures for the loss of branch churches and monasteries during the day.
Although they had been prepared, under the strong blows of the enemy, the Father God Cult was still a little overwhelmed, and even if they were united, they could not make up for the disadvantage in strength.
"The current situation is already known. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any good suggestions?" Ling Feng asked his subordinates to report on the situation, and then he spoke.
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, they spoke one by one and made suggestions, but these suggestions were not good, and they were all before, and they were not new ideas, and the huge gap in strength could not be made up by a meeting.
Finally, Reikaze motioned for everyone to be quiet. Then he concluded: "Now that the enemy has come to attack, religious wars are not secular wars, and there are no strategies and means to harm the peace of the heavens, and in the end there are only two methods at our disposal, first, to defend to the death, not to give up the power of one place and one city, and to fight the enemy as hard as we can, and to hold out until the archbishop returns." Second. Abandon the periphery, transfer all the manpower back, and fight the enemy with the advantage of the location, there is a miracle given by the Father. We can easily close the gap in strength. ”
Everyone fell silent when they heard this, and the first way was to die regardless of consumption and sacrifice, the advantage was that they would not lose too many forces and believers, but if the sacrifice was too great. It may take a long time for the Father's Church to recover. The second way is to borrow buildings produced by various systems to carry the enemy, and with the current combat power of the Father's Teaching, it is not difficult to resist the enemy. It was even more difficult to re-establish the faith after just over a year of hard work, and most importantly, this kind of retreat was contrary to the teachings and disloyalty to the gods, and the negative effects were endless.
One is to defend the majesty of the Church and God the Father at the cost of sacrifice, and the other is to sacrifice the authority of the Church and God the Father to avoid casualties.
From the standpoint of reason, Lingfeng will choose the second option, but from the standpoint of the church, the second type will be a huge disaster, and more than eighty percent of the people in the church will probably not agree to do so.
Sure enough, soon, Sachar spoke loudly: "We are stubborn! The archbishop handed over the church to us before leaving, how can we live up to his expectations? What's more, the noble Father taught us that courage and fearlessness are essential qualities, and to give up the interests of the church and blaspheme the divine authority of the Father, I am the first to disagree!"
After everyone listened, they were silent, although Saga did not indicate who he represented, but his words represented the meaning of the Saint Seiya, and in this matter, all the Saint Seiya would stand on a united front with him.
The next moment, Uther-Lightbringer, who was the leader of the paladins, also spoke, although the way of speaking was different, but the content was similar to Zachar's words, which meant that the paladins would fight to the death with the enemy like the saint seiya.
Uther said that the Knights of the Apocalypse would not be left behind, and Darien Mograine, the leader of the Knights of the Apocalypse, also said in a cold tone that the Knights of the Black Blade would live and die with the Church, and would never let the evil heresies take another inch of the Church's land.
The statements of the three major departments basically represent the determination of the Father's Church to fight the enemy to the death, which is stupid in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the religious world, it is a normal thing to do, and it is also something that a strong church must have, and people without faith can never understand the thoughts of people of faith.
After that, other departments also expressed their support for the first approach, although they also knew that this would cause a lot of casualties, but thinking of Link's trust, thinking of the future of the church, thinking of the Father's gaze, thinking of the insistence from the heart, they all made difficult and fearless decisions without hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Lingfeng didn't say anything more, and immediately nodded and decided to fight the enemy to the end, and discussed some countermeasures on how to fight to the death.
Next, the war machine of the Father's Cult quietly operated, the head chef 'New Ice and Fire Demon Chef' Antioch Lettok started working overnight, cooking all kinds of delicacies for the front-line personnel that can increase their combat power and replenish consumption, the great alchemist Heaty also closed the door in the alchemy room, constantly refining all kinds of good medicines for the church personnel, and the dwarven blacksmith Adam Samiles was in the forge room every day with steel and metal as a companion to supplement the large amount of weapons needed for the war.
A battle that would cause blood to flow in the religious circles of the Red Moon Province began, and as the side that was bound to suffer a large number of casualties, the Father's Teachings embarked on the most difficult journey without hesitation.
Link still has no way of knowing this, because he is still some distance away from the Kingdom of Stars, let alone returning to the Red Moon Province.
It's just that Link already had an ominous premonition, and the next day when the sun just poked his head out, he woke Marisa and Japafika up, and then took the two of them on the way home, this time, instead of flying on their own, they took a junior spirit pet vulture.
This Vulture was purchased in the Marketplace by Link last night after he noticed that his faith was decreasing. So that there are only 19,000 faith degrees left, but although the faith degrees are almost exhausted, Link does not regret it, because he understands that if he can't rush back in time, even if he doesn't use it, the faith degree will be exhausted.
Although the flying speed of the vulture is not as fast as flying directly with flying thaumaturgy, it is better to last, and can fly continuously for more than twelve hours, and wait for the vulture to get tired. Link can still use flying thaumaturgy to continue flying, even if the duration of bringing an extra vulture will be much shorter, but there will still be an hour or two, so at the end of the day, it will be much faster than rushing directly with flying thaumaturgy.
As a result, at the end of the day, Link and the others flew nearly three thousand kilometers, which is already very close to the Kingdom of Stars, and if they fly for another day tomorrow. I guess I'll be able to observe the situation with the Vision of God.
Originally, Link wanted to travel overnight, but everyone was exhausted, and the vulture, which had been flying with the three of them for a day, couldn't even stand on his feet, and even needed his help with food. If they hurried any further, the vultures were likely to die violently, and without the vultures, they might not be able to return even if they traveled for a few more days.
So. Link and the others rested in the wilderness for the night, and set out again at dawn the next day, continuing their journey home on a rejuvenated vulture.
Meanwhile. The combined forces of the five major churches, which had rested for a day, also moved again and launched an attack on the Father's God Cult, and under the absolute suppression of strength, they didn't even bother to use the conspiracy and tricks, they just formed a circle and slowly crushed over from the five roads, and the seventh-order powerhouses of each sect also rushed to the front line to sit as the main force.
Also at dawn, the five major churches launched attacks on the branch churches and monasteries of the Father's Church, but to their surprise, this time they were met with stubborn resistance from the Father's Church, and after the emergency meeting the night before, most of the troops left behind in the headquarters had been transferred to the front line, and the generals of the various armies were also stationed at the front line.
At the same time as the five major churches launched an attack, the various armies led the enemy under the leadership of the generals of each army, and gave some of the five major churches a dismount, so that the five major churches suffered more or less losses.
However, under the suppression of strength, the casualties of the five major churches were not heavy, and after regrouping their troops, they attacked the Father's Cult again, and the Father's Cult resisted and fought with the enemy.
Dunbar City on the Eastern Front is the gathering place of the main force of the Saint Seiya, most of the Saint Seiya and a small number of Paladins are stationed here, led by Zachar to resist the enemy, and they are facing the forces of Zoroastrianism.
Due to the transcendent route that the Church of God of God has always taken, most of the churches and monasteries are based on the suburbs of the town, and when they are at war with the five major churches, they are not afraid of implicating the common people.
In the wars of religion, the major churches will not spare those faithful pagan believers, and they will treat those believers as followers of heretical churches, and with the way God of the Father acts, they will naturally not implicate believers, even if they know that the faith of those believers may collapse at any time.
From dawn to ten o'clock in the morning, Saga and his team had fought the enemy eight times, although they repelled all the enemies, but also brought a lot of casualties, two saints were killed in battle, one paladin was killed in battle, and the rest of the cultists died.
But Saga couldn't do that, he had to force himself to calm down, because he could feel that there was a master on the Zoroastrian side who was not weaker than him, and the other party was like him, observing everything from behind, and staring at him deadly, and if he made a move, the super strong man who was hidden behind the scenes would be the first to kill.
If he fights alone, Saga is not afraid, but because he bears the lives of his brothers and sisters, he will be jealous, he can't be sure if the other party has a back hand, if he is restrained, the other party uses a back hand to destroy the others, then everything is over, so he must force himself to be calm, even if he knows that his companion will die, he can only watch from afar.
It's just that Saga is a hot-blooded boy after all, and the Saint Seiya is a group of hot-blooded guys, no matter how rational and indifferent he is on the surface, he can't change the essence of the Saint Seiya, in this case, it is unknown how long Saga can endure it. (To be continued.) )
