Chapter 186: Harvesting People's Hearts
After learning that Officer Duncan had a 'penchant' for cannibalism, Bird couldn't help but be a little frightened. Although I have heard many similar stories and cases, when I really meet such a person, I still feel a little illusory and unreal.
Now that the Church of Arthurs has been destroyed and cannot see its original form, and Priest Duncan has also run away, no matter how much they think about Priest Duncan at this time, there is no way to do it. If you want to know more about this, you have to wait until the 'green shadow' returns.
"That green shadow just now is a big man sent by the Cult of Arthurs?"
"Exactly," Mick replied, nodding in response, and was about to say something more when he heard footsteps behind them.
Looking towards it, a group of knights was running towards the two of them. However, there are only a few people in this team, and they all look angry. I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I saw the destroyed church of the Cult of Arthurs.
"What about the others?" As the group approached the Cult of Arthurs, the Byrds could see clearly, covered in mud and even bloodstained on some of them.
"The station is affected as well?" Bird asked worriedly, interrupting Mick's questioning.
It stands to reason that this Knights' residence and the Church of Arthur are two different places in the city, and they are far away, so they should not be affected.
"No, there are too many people who have been injured along the way, and there are people calling for help every other distance......" The members of the knights who spoke saw that Mick's face gradually deteriorated, and he suddenly looked a little weak, and his voice couldn't help but become quieter.
"Captain Mick, don't complain about these people not being disciplined" Bird knew what Mike was thinking, but he just felt that these guys in front of him did not follow orders, did not come here to gather in advance, and then dispersed.
"They were also called here to help with disaster relief, and everything they did along the way was naturally fine!"
"You go and help the victims!" Bird waved at him.
"One more thing......" The speaker slurred, glancing at Mick a few times, as if wondering if he should say it.
"Say!" Mick couldn't stand the fact that the guy in front of him looked cautious and slurred, and kicked the guy directly to the toe.
Mick's movements were very light, but he startled the knights who bowed their heads, and hurriedly released all the words he had prepared.
"We were quick to get out of the camp, and we rushed all the way here when we received orders from Lord Bird."
"But we found that there were people who moved faster than us along the way, and they comforted the victims, relieved the victims, and treated the victims, so we planned to leave people behind......"
"What are these people!" How can this guy in front of him always procrastinate like this, and he can't get the point out of three or five sentences, Mick can't bear it, so he directly interrupted the idea of continuing to talk about it, and asked.
"It's someone from another church!"
"Penance?"
"There are other unknown!yes!There are gangsters among them!" the speaker hurriedly added.
"These damn guys!" Mick gritted his teeth, waving his hands in a gust of wind. It was enough to scare the members of these knights.
"Disperse yourselves!"
"Don't worry, Captain Mick won't be angry with you," Seeing a few hesitant and worried looks, Bird opened his mouth to comfort.
After making sure that they would not annoy Mick further after they dispersed, they immediately trotted all the way towards the crowded place, as if they wanted to use this method not to attract Mick's attention.
"My lord, these churches are so rampant, and in the face of the disaster, they actually want to strengthen themselves in the name of helping the victims!"
The implication of Mick's words is very obvious, that is, he wants Bird to open his mouth to teach these guys a lesson, and it is better to destroy these people directly, or drive them out of Stanlow City.
In Mick's understanding, the church is used to deceive people and deceive money. Especially since he had just warned Leo and the others a few days ago to stop having any more conflicts. But I didn't expect these people to change so quickly, and now they actually take the opportunity to come together to help the victims.
If this continues, will these churches be able to win hearts and minds and become their own factions?
"Mick, do you think it's better to let the outside church hold the hearts and minds of the people, or let our own church control it, and this church is still firmly in our own hands."
"Like the Salvation Society?" Although Bird's words just hit Mick's 'pain point', Mick reacted extremely quickly.
"What if this church could grow into a messian?"
"How is that possible" Mick was stunned, followed by a constant shake of his head in denial.
"I don't know until I've done it."
"Lord Lord, you mean to take these new churches in the city into your own hands?" Mick blurted out a ridiculous idea in his head, but it was accompanied by his constant shaking of his head.
"Why not?"
"This ......," Mikton said, the three larger forces in the city now, two of the churches and one gangster, are all linked to the main god space. It's not easy to control these people.
"Don't worry, I've got my own way, you'll know when the time comes," Bird used the same method he had used to comfort the timid members of the Order again, and patted him on the shoulder to show that he had nothing to worry about.
Seeing that Bird in front of him was so optimistic, Mick suddenly felt even more sad in his heart. The person in front of him didn't know the magic of the main god space at all, and no one could guarantee what these guys would do after gaining huge benefits in the main god space and turning them into strength.
Maybe one day, they feel that they can control the whole of Stanlow City, and they feel that they have surpassed everything else?
Seeing Bird turn around and go to comfort his subjects, Mick had no choice but to shake his head.
It seems that he has to discuss with the political officer Aubrey how to deal with Leo and the others next, and he has to directly extinguish the dangerous thoughts of these people, at least he has to keep the position of Bird as the lord, and he can't let Leo and the others be too arrogant.
As a group of attendants in the palace arrived from a distance, the outside of the Cult of Arthur was suddenly crowded with people.
Mick scattered in the direction of the Order's residence with a detachment of knights, seemingly trying to vacate the place outside the church of Arthur for the palace attendants, while he himself led people to the rest of the city to provide support.
