Chapter 304: To the North, Arya's Words
"Goddess of Wisdom Cult, Roland Empire, Holy War ......" Link couldn't help frowning as he looked at the secret letter in his hand.
This letter was sent by Sylvanas, and he briefly told Link about the current situation in the Kingdom of Stars, and although he did not elaborate on it, Link still saw how bad the situation was from the letter.
Sylvanas didn't understand what the Goddess of Wisdom and the Roland Empire were pumping, and she couldn't figure out why the other party had to travel thousands of miles to launch an expedition and holy war against the Kingdom of the Stars.
In this regard, Link can think of a reason, it is nothing more than because of the matter of the Seven-Element Holy Envoy and the Goddess of Wisdom Metis, although what he did was very hidden, it did not mean that the Goddess of Wisdom Sect could not detect it.
Now that the Goddess of Wisdom Cult and the Roland Empire are about to be killed, Link also feels a lot of pressure, and at the same time is embarrassed, after all, they have dragged the entire Star Kingdom into the water.
But no matter how entangled they were, things had already happened, and they couldn't change it, so Link immediately called the higher-ups to discuss the matter, and when they learned about the Holy War, everyone was shocked, and then angry, and they were very dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of the Goddess of Wisdom and Roland's empire.
Of course, everyone just vented, and they didn't become uncalm because of this, not to mention that they knew more or less about Metis, and they also understood that this holy war was actually caused by the Father's religion, but the matter was too complicated, so everyone chose not to mention it.
At the same time, no one chooses to avoid this matter, when the war involves religion, it is impossible for the Father's Church to be unavoided, not to mention the holy war caused by the Father's Religion, so everyone is actively discussing countermeasures, and various methods are put forward one by one, most of which are feasible methods, which shows that the high-level people have experienced so many things and have grown into top talents.
However, after all, he is religious. The strategic vision is still a little worse, and when thinking about many problems, he will be constrained by his vision, and he lacks the overall situation, and Link did not rashly question it, and did not make a summary until the situation was about the same.
"Well, your approach is good, but you seem to have overlooked two things, first, it's not us who are most worried about jihad. Second, even if the Roland Empire and the Goddess of Wisdom launched a holy war, how could it be so easy to kill? Don't forget, although the Roland Empire is strong, it has many enemies, and if they go on an expedition of thousands of miles, how long will it take them to come over? three years, five years, or ten years?"
Hearing Link say this, everyone immediately turned their attention from the Roland Empire and the Goddess of Wisdom Cult to the entire continent.
Yes, the Roland Empire has always been strong. There are many countries that have been offended, and in addition to those vassal countries, there are many hostile countries engraved in the vicinity of the Roland Empire, even if there is no empire. There are also quite a few powerful countries.
In addition, the distance of nearly 10,000 kilometers is not so easy to walk, and not everyone is a super strong person who can go from Roland to the stars in just a few months, and the army is open. Even if the road is unimpeded, it will be impossible to come over in a year and a half.
What's more, the Roland Empire is really coming. can only be killed, the countries on the way will not believe that the Roland Empire is just coming towards the Kingdom of Stars, and will definitely resist desperately, and when the time comes, it will definitely drag down the pace of the Roland Empire, and the journey of a year will continue to increase, even if the war goes well, it will not be possible to fight it in two or three years.
Also, soldiers will always be tired when they fight, right? Even if there are various healing spells to ensure that the wounded can recover easily, they will definitely feel tired from the long-term battle, and it will take a year or two to fight for three years, and this time will drag on even longer.
With such a long time and such a long expedition, how could those hostile countries of the Roland Empire sit back and watch the Roland Empire become arrogant? Nine times out of ten, they will take advantage of the Roland Empire, and even if the Roland Empire can repel those countries, it will definitely consume a lot of vitality, causing the time of the expedition to be extended again.
Thinking about it this way, by the time the Roland Empire came over, it would be many years later, and at that time, the Kingdom of the Stars and the Church of God of the Fathers had grown into a great country and a great church, and they could use this holy war as a springboard to become one of the top forces in the Sorakon world.
The high-level leaders of the Father's Church are all smart people, who had only ignored many things because of their limitations before, but now that they have seen through everything, they are relieved, and they have praised Link for his vision and wisdom.
Link was noncommittal about this, he knew how many pounds and taels he had, and he saw these things before everyone else, just because he was a traverser, he had seen a lot of things before, and the importance of strategy made it easier for him to see through everything, and it didn't mean that he was smarter than everyone else.
Therefore, Link ignored the praise and continued: "In addition, you underestimate Her Majesty the Queen, she may have seen these things clearly a long time ago, and the reason why she launched the Northern Expedition in advance was not because she was forced to rush, but because she saw an opportunity, an opportunity for the Kingdom of Stars to obtain the funds of the empire in a few years. After a pause, his gaze became deep and sharp, "Moreover, it is not certain that this holy war may become the fuse, now that the Ou Rui continent has been peaceful for a long time, and there is never a shortage of careerists in the human race, when the balance is broken, those careerists will jump out, and when the time comes, the real war chaos should appear." ”
After listening to Link's words, everyone couldn't help but feel sad, and then fell into deep thought.
At the end of the meeting, Link made a decision, that is, he would personally go to carry out the mission of preaching and stabilizing the hearts and minds after the Northern Expedition!
In this regard, everyone was taken aback, but the smart ones quickly understood that this was a matter of no choice, just like Sylvanas personally led the Northern Expedition, now is a period of opportunity and crisis, and many things need to be done by these top levels, although it will be dangerous for Link to go to the north in person, but it can also stabilize the post-war North as soon as possible, so that he can be free before the outbreak of a new war.
After understanding this, everyone did not persuade them, but only wished Link success and told Link to be careful, and then went to work to prepare for the affairs of the Northland.
All of a sudden, the Father-God Cult, which had just been at leisure, became busy again, and at the same time, the Northern Proclamation also reached the Red Moon Province, and soon the entire Red Moon Province knew that the country was going to war, and those who longed for glory and status immediately geared up and went to the recruitment offices in various places to sign up; those who were worried about the war prayed silently that the scourge of war would not spread; and those who hoped to make war money began to hoard goods and prepare to make a fortune during the war - in the end, this kind of bad luck was basically unlucky, and Sylvanas would not allow such a thing to happen.
War, an immortal proposition that accompanies the development of human history and civilization, where there are people, there is struggle. Where there are people, there is war!
Under the influence of the atmosphere of war, the city of God and the Church of the Father were also affected, and at this time, the top leadership of the Father God announced that they would form a team of 1,000 people to go to the north with the kingdom's army, and would shoulder the noble mission of pacifying people's hearts and spreading the glory of God the Father after the war.
If you perform well during the period, you may even have a chance to get a bishop and other high positions!
Mission, honor, interests.
Any one of these three can make many people crazy, and when the three are combined, it immediately arouses the enthusiasm of the entire Father's Church, and countless people take the initiative to sign up for the trip to the Northland. And such a high-profile act also made the matter spread quickly.
Suddenly, the other religions were shocked, then envious, jealous, and hateful, and finally helpless.
Those religions naturally saw that this must have been secretly negotiated between the Father's Religion and the Kingdom, and the big cake in the Northland would be divided between the Father's Religion and the Kingdom, not only that, but perhaps the newly laid territory of the Kingdom of the Stars in the future would be handed over to the Father's Religion to preach.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in history. Especially for the state religion, it is not inconceivable, since the Church of the Father is already the state religion of the kingdom of the stars, it makes sense to advance and retreat with the kingdom.
In this regard, even if the churches are red-eyed, they can only watch. Not to mention that they are no match for the Father's Cult at all, if they dare to stretch out their hand, even if the Father's Cult does not make a move, the kingdom will not let them go. Because Sylvanas is such a strong and iron-blooded queen.
As a result, the kingdom's northern expedition and the northward march of the Father's Cult were prepared in an orderly manner, and the first 50,000 troops also went to the north under the order of Sylvanas. The urgency before the Great War looms over the Kingdom of Stars.
"Brother Neil, how long are you going to go north this time?" asked Arya with a look of concern in the Sanctuary.
Link thought for a moment and said, "Two or three months, don't worry, as long as things over there are stable, I will come back and marry you, so you also have to learn how to control the divine power as soon as possible, but don't let me stay alone in the empty room at that time." At the end of the day, he made a joke.
Arya couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and then seemed to be thinking about something, and finally bit her lower lip and said, "Brother Neil, you can bring Reimu and Sister Sisley with you this time!"
Link couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and looked at Arya in confusion.
Arya stared at Link with a pair of big bright eyes and said, "Brother Neil, do you really think I don't know about you and Sister Hakuli?"
Hearing this, Link was stunned for a moment, and then made him, who was used to seeing big scenes, feel at a loss, like being caught and raped by his wife in bed.
Just as Link wanted to explain, Arya stepped forward and leaned into Link's arms and said softly: "Stupid Brother Neil, I have been preparing for these things for a long time, I am actually very happy that you can make a lifelong agreement with Sister Hakuli." ”
"Arya......" Link stared at Arya, not knowing what to say.
Arya looked at Link tenderly, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "However, Brother Neil, since you have decided to be with the four of us, how can you do this to Sister Hakuri alone? Isn't that too unfair to others? So, this time, you can take Reimu and Sister Heath with you, I have already told Sister Hakuri about this, and she agreed, so this time, you can't run away from it again." ”
Link opened his mouth after listening, and finally nodded with a firm expression: "I know, don't worry, I won't be indecisive about these things anymore, you are right, there are some things, since they have been decided, then they must be done, otherwise, it will be too unfair to you." ”
Hearing this, Arya smiled softly, and leaned on Link's chest affectionately, but at an angle that Link couldn't see, her eyes showed jealousy and helplessness, it seems that the so-called indifference is all fake, but she knows that she must make a decision, not only Link, but also herself, otherwise the relationship between the four will be broken sooner or later.
