Chapter 148: Welcoming the Inspection
After a zombie attack, the entire 9th Division camp spent a long night in extreme panic, and in order to prevent the plague from spreading further among the army, Mance had to order all the infected to be quarantined, and the seriously ill ones who lost their minds were buried alive on the spot.

The decision was cruel, but no one showed any resistance to the new commander's order, and everyone knew that they had little better way to deal with this monstrous disaster.
Mance stayed awake all night, and the next morning, he had just taken a nap on his desk when his own soldiers woke him up.
"Are the zombies coming again, where are they?" Mance drew his saber almost reflexively, and the successive zombies disturbed him.
"It's not a zombie, Lord Commander!" the soldier quickly took a step back, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "It's Cuarón, Bishop Cuarón is coming, he has brought you news from the Holy See. ”
"Caron, is it the newly appointed bishop of the Iliad?" Mance put away his knife, sat back in his chair, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said forcefully, "Then what are you waiting for, get ready to meet you." ”
The Bishop of Caron was not only the new religious leader of the Iliad, but also a close associate of His Majesty the Pope, which could not be ignored at all, and Mance and the officers of the Ninth Division waited in the reception hall early to welcome the arrival of the Bishop.
About an hour later, a richly decorated four-seater carriage slowly stopped at the door, and the gray-eyed and slightly hairy Bishop Caron, accompanied by the chaplain of the army, walked unhurriedly towards the door of the reception hall, and before entering, the bishop kissed the cross in his hand like the most devout believer, and prayed in a low voice.
The officers and men of the Ninth Division of the "Divine Stick ......" secretly slandered themselves in their hearts, but their faces were still very respectful, after all, in the current situation of plague and zombies, they had asked the church, although the behavior of the church bureaucrats had made them complain a lot.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for coming, and I hope that with your prayers, the omnipotent God the Father will save his pious Mujahideen from calamity. As soon as the bishop stepped through the door, Mance quickly got up and welcomed him himself into the center of the hall.
"Oh, hehe, Lord Mans, oh no, it's time to call you Commander, you and your men are very valiant warriors, the world will remember your sacrifice in the Battle of Crete, may God bless you!" Bishop Cuarón drew a large cross on his chest, and looked at the thin-faced, ecologically exhausted middle-aged officer in front of him with a smile on his face, "Although you did not make it to the front line, His Majesty the Pope appreciated the cleansing of the infidels in the Iliad. ”
"Where, it is the duty of our jihadists to spread the teachings of God the Father......," a bitterness appeared on the corner of Mance's mouth, "It's just that after the Battle of Crete, the entire Iliad plague epidemic, in addition, we have also encountered the threat of zombies, I wonder if the Holy See can give us appropriate assistance?"
"Hehe, Your Excellency, I have good news for you!" Bishop Cuarón slapped Mance on the shoulder, his hand was so hard that if it weren't for Mance's prowess skills, his thin body would have been slapped to the ground.
"Your Excellency, please speak. ”
"His Holiness the Pope was heartbroken by this unprecedented catastrophe in the Iliad, which had caused countless innocent civilians to be killed or wounded, and after much deliberation, His Majesty decided to go to the holy city of Medina and pray to the omnipotent Father and pray for the blessings of the Iliad, and may the Lord's mercy come to this disastrous land as soon as possible......"
Bishop Caron said, and held out the cross again, with a solemn and holy expression.
"That's good!" Mance breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he finally had hope of escaping this terrible cataclysm.
"Oh, not only that, but His Majesty the Merciful and Loving Pope, in order to bring the Gospel of the Lord to the victims of the desperate situation, decided to come to the Iliad himself to inspect the situation before arriving in the holy city of Medina. Bishop Caron gave Lymans a meaningful smile, "So, Your Excellency, you have to behave well!"
"But, my lordship, the situation in the Iliad is extremely serious, and there is no room for optimism at all, why did His Majesty the Pope take the risk to come to this plague land?" Mance looked puzzled, "Your Majesty has no need for this. ”
"And this is not to deal with those infidels who spread rumors!" "The Holy War has reached the most critical stage, since the Battle of Crete, the Moses are not willing to accept the defeat in the Iliad, these vile and shameless heretics have spread a lot of rumors that the catastrophe in the Iliad is the punishment of the Lord God Moses, in an attempt to unite the people......" Bishop Karon snorted, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.
"In order to ensure the victory of the war in order not to affect our morale and ensure the victory of the war, His Majesty the Pope has decided to personally go into danger to boost morale and shatter rumors!"
Bishop Cuarón sighed and said earnestly: "Mance, His Majesty's painstaking efforts, we should all fully understand, to put it bluntly, His Majesty's inspection is for those Moses with bad intentions. We need to show a new Iliad with civilian-military harmony, economic prosperity, and devout faith in God the Father, and show the heathen that we are determined to overcome the catastrophe under the guidance of God the Father!"
Bishop Cuarón swung his fist into the air and then pulled out a white scroll from the storage ring and handed it to Mance.
"Therefore, Your Majesty's inspection is of great importance, and Your Excellency's Ninth Division, as a garrison force, must fully prepare for the inspection......
"What! you want me to kill all the heretics of the Iliad!" Mance exclaimed, shuddering as he put the scroll back on the table.
"Why, the Commander, is he unwilling to cooperate?" said Bishop Karon, with a sinking face, "Your Excellency, don't forget what a terrible loss the infidels have inflicted on your troops!"
"But my lord, the rebels have been annihilated, and the heretics of the Iliad have succumbed. Mance said anxiously, "They will not and dare not pose any more threat to the Empire and the Church. ”
"Yield, hehe, did they really give in?" Bishop Cuarón snorted, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his voice suddenly raised several pitches, "Then why are so many people still unwilling to listen to the teachings of the Father and bathe in the favor of the Lord, but continue to stubbornly believe in the hypocritical and cruel evil god of Moses?"
"This ......" Mance broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, although the military has always fully supported the missionary activities of the Church of Light, but the religious concept has always been deep-rooted, and it is almost impossible to change it directly, not to mention that he himself is still controlled by Marven, and has not taken any coercive measures against the Moses, so the rebels have been quelled for more than a few months, but the Iliad is still dominated by Moses.
"I think these lowly heretics are unconvinced, and these incorruptible and incapable of being influenced by the teachings of God the Father can only become our enemies!" Bishop Caron could not have been more evident.
"This ...... Let me think about it again......" Mance stiffened, but his back was dripping with cold sweat, he himself did not reject the slaughter of infidels, but his soul was controlled by the terrifying Xia demon warrior, if that Xia knew that the Iliad had slaughtered the infidels again, maybe he would command himself to do something crazy, after assassinating his old boss James last time, he could still fool the past on the grounds of the tragic war, if His Majesty the Pope's red man was inexplicably assassinated in his own jurisdiction this time, he estimated that his life would almost come to an end。
"Mance, as a mujahideen, you should know what kind of punishment to inflict on these blasphemous enemies!" Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Bishop Cuarón slapped the table hard, his tone extremely tough, leaving him no room for rebuttal.
"Yes, Bishop. After thinking for a while, Mance still agreed to the church's request, "I will do my best to ensure that this inspection can be successfully completed!" After a difficult ideological struggle in his brain, Mance finally made his own choice, horizontal and vertical is death, compared to being tortured by the Inquisition to survive and death, it is undoubtedly more humane to be killed directly by spiritual magic, not to mention, Marven seems to be very busy recently, and he has no time to pay attention to him, if he is lucky, maybe he can escape his punishment......
"That's right, Lord Mance. Bishop Cuarón finally smiled and enthusiastically reminded: "Remember, the cleansing of the pagans is not the most important goal, but we want to show the world the image of a new Iliad kingdom, and more importantly, to show the world the devotion of the current inhabitants of the Iliad to God the Father and their love for His Majesty the Pope." This preparation for the inspection requires a lot of hard work!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise I won't disappoint His Majesty the Pope!"
