Kidnapping the priest in Dart and negotiating seemed the only way to go, and Marvin had to nod his head in agreement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But now he still has a layer of concern, that is, how strong the other party's strength is, and how heavy the chips in their hands are for the other party, and he himself is completely uncertain now.

If the other party really has a strong man sent by the Saracen Empire, they will undoubtedly be in the mouth of a tiger.

For the sake of safety, after arranging for the army to set off overnight, he arranged for the reconnaissance cavalry to quickly reconnoiter the town of Iru.

Iru was a town much smaller than Darttown, and was not of much strategic value due to its remoteness from the mainland's main transportation routes and its easy terrain to defend and its lack of strategic value.

When the large army was less than ten kilometers away from Iru Town, the scouts finally quickly sent the information, and everyone was relieved to learn that there was no sign of the activities of the strong men of the Saracen Empire in the village------ and the main planners of this attack were some local powerhouses of the Iliad Kingdom. The overall strength is initially estimated to be below the Pioneer Battalion.

But despite this, Marven still didn't dare to take it lightly, the intelligence showed that the other party had a high-level magician whose magic cultivation was not inferior to him at all, and it was said that she was a Moses saint and had a lot of prestige in the local area. As a last resort, he did not want a conflict to break out.

The priest of Dart Town was brought up by the Five Flowers, and the stubborn old man tried to commit suicide several times after his arrest, and Marvin had to send additional guards to guard him.

"Sir, I'm really sorry, we can't do this, we can only wronged you first. Marven patted him on the shoulder, apologetically.

The priest snorted coldly, glared angrily, and made a "whine" sound in his throat, just to prevent him from biting his tongue and killing himself, his mouth was completely sealed, and he could not curse a word.

The envoy sent to negotiate had not yet brought any news, and Marven waited anxiously. In the middle of the night, the messenger finally got the news that the Moses of Iru were willing to negotiate with them outside the village.

In the early morning of the next day, in the town of Iru, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, the elite of the vanguard battalion in bright armor was already stationed near a small river on the edge of the town, and Marven and the others sat in the camp tent, quietly waiting for the arrival of the leader of the Moses rebels.

It was about two hours before the leader of the rebel army arrived, and a few flag-bearing light cavalry escorted a rudimentary carriage to the tent door.

One of the guards ran up to Marven and whispered, "Sir, their elders are here." ”

"Is it Elder Lichd? Invite him in!" According to the information, this Elder Lichd is the former Moses bishop of the Iliad Kingdom, who is highly respected and has always refused to surrender to the Empire of St. John, and his daughter Isis, ------ Isis, is a highly respected Mosesian saint in the entire Iliad.

When the carriage had stopped, Elder Liched walked into the tent with his cane in hand, his head held high, and with a proud expression on his face. Marven scrutinized him, Lihid looked to be in his sixties, but he was in good spirits and had extraordinary skills, and he was still unafraid of the young masters in the camp. After entering, he even took out a copy of the Book of Moses in public and read it as if no one was around, as a sign of provocation.

"You hypotheticals, listen carefully to the teachings of the true God!"

Marven couldn't smile bitterly, he, Hammond, Rogge and others were not Illuminati, the only Mance who believed in the Illuminati had been turned into a puppet by him, and now Mr. Liched was in front of everyone and scolded the God of Light for being a pig, and they wouldn't have any reaction.

A moment later, a woman wrapped in a white silk cloak followed with a light step, her face completely covered by a veil, revealing only a pair of large, bright and clear eyes, but in spite of this, her noble and elegant temperament and delicate figure still bloomed with the beauty that was hidden.

It is not difficult to guess that this is the powerful Mosesian saint ----- Isis.

"Elder Lichd, we have had a conflict over some religious issues before, which has caused a lot of trouble, and I hope that we can resolve it peacefully this time, after all, it is not good for anyone to meet each other. Marven politely bowed to Riched.

Lihid put together the "Book of Moses" in his hand, snorted coldly, and said, "That's right, we are the military priest who captured you, but this conflict seems to have been provoked by you!" His cold gaze swept around, "Your priest led troops to hunt down the believers of the true god on a large scale, and burned down our temple with impunity!

"What are you going to do to let our pastor go?" Marven got straight to the point.

"It's not impossible to let him go, after all, our priest Kandel is also in your hands. Liched pouted, "However, since your priest has offended the wrath of the people, there are two things he needs to do before I can let him go." ”

"What two things?"

Lihid stretched out his finger and said in a loud voice: "First, the priest needs to kiss the six-pointed star in public and praise the greatness of the true God, and second, the priest needs to kneel before the idol of the true god and repent of his sins!"

"Sir, this condition is too unrealistic. Rogge on the side couldn't help but interject: "You can't force a religious person to do something that insults his beliefs, you should know that it will be more uncomfortable than killing him......

"But the priest killed the Moses and destroyed the temple of Moses, which is a blasphemy against the true God and an insult to our faith!" the elder said angrily.

"Elder Lishid, can I meet the priest alone? I may not bring any weapons. Seeing Lihid's stubborn attitude, Marven had to find a way to get close to the priest and then use spiritual magic to control him.

"I'm sorry, I won't allow any of you to approach the captives until the negotiations are complete!" Lehid leaned forward slightly, and said categorically: "As we all know, you are all the elite of the Saint John Empire, we can't resist you hard, your priest is the most useful bargaining chip in our hands at the moment, I don't want to make any mistakes!"

"Your Excellency, if you are not at ease, you can send anyone to monitor my every move, and I can guarantee that the priest will meet your conditions, if you ......" Marven still tirelessly persuaded.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. Sir. A melodious female voice sounded, and everyone's eyes were attracted, only to see Isis, who was sitting on the side, nodding slightly apologetically at Marven, and lightly furrowed his red lips: "If I guessed correctly, Your Excellency the Deputy Pioneer Officer who knows magic is planning to use spiritual magic to control the priest, and then let such a puppet 'fulfill' our conditions, right?" Isis's big smart and clear eyes looked directly at Marven.

"Sure enough, it's a master. His abacus was spotted by the other party, and Marven couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Sir, what we need is a sincere apology and repentance from you Illuminati, and a promise not to happen like this again, rather than allowing a puppet whose actions have been controlled to do these pointless superficial tasks. If you don't even agree to this condition, then there is no way for the two sides to reconcile!" said Isis, getting up and walking straight out of the barracks.

"Two of you!" When they reached the door, Marven got up and stopped the other party, "The priest of your country is in our hands, don't you completely ignore the consequences of the breakdown of negotiations?"

Liched sneered and said disdainfully: "Father Abraham did not participate in any riots, and you arrested him for saving a bad priest, your Excellency's faith is really religious!"

His tone was cold, and he stared at Marven viciously, "If the priest is unfortunately killed, no matter what the price is, all the people of the Iliad Kingdom who believe in the true God will fight to the end with the army of your country!"

The carriage of the elder and the holy woman went away in front of everyone, and the negotiations broke up unhappily, and a dull atmosphere suddenly enveloped the entire tent, and the people did not say a word, and only heavy breathing could be heard in the tent.

Hammond slapped the table and reddened his eyes, "I can't care so much, anyway, our strength is stronger than them, so we can simply attack it with heavy troops." If the priest can save him, it's his fate, if he can't save it, there's no way, if the mission fails, let's fail, it's a big deal, let's wait until the end of the holy war and then return to the Marne Federation!"

"Captain, please be aware of your status as a mercenary. Rogge hurriedly spoke to dissuade, "Marven is not only the employer of our team, but also a lifesaver for everyone, we need to solve the immediate trouble as soon as possible and escort him to the Marne Federation, instead of staying in this place where birds don't and waiting for the endless religious wars to end!"

Hammond was embarrassed when he heard this, touched the back of his head, and muttered, "I'm sorry, Marven, I was impulsive and said angry words......"

"Nothing, and we don't have a better way. After all, the priest of an empire and the priest of a small country are completely different in weight. Marven smiled bitterly: "Now, I can only fight." ”
