While Li Yu was busy building the organizational structure and upgrading system of the Shuangxiu Church in the green field, the Silver Moon Church on the other side was also experiencing a turmoil.

At first, the source of the turmoil was only due to the conversion of Ilea, the new head of House Arias, to Saturday, and her blatant betrayal of Picia stirred the nerves of millions of followers of the Silver Moon in the West.

But what made everyone even more dissatisfied was still to come, the church's response was slow and weak, not only failed to prevent it from happening, but also the hasty assassination that was launched afterwards was somehow seen through in advance by the Shuangxiu Church.

As soon as they shouted the slogan assassins, all of them were caught, causing the other believers to be unable to find a chance to charge for the faith even if they wanted to, and the whole process looked like they were showing off their demeanor with the newly formed Black Dog Guard of the Shuangxiu Sect.

Not only did the believers of Picia fail to accept it, but even the priests of the church followed suit to break through the defenses.

Especially those people who were at the scene that day, they saw Jude standing in front of the ox cart with one enemy, like a big mountain, calmly dealing with the attacks of six or seven people, and actually still had the upper hand.

This powerful personal force shocked many people, and the other members of the Black Dog Guard also performed well, locking on their respective targets early on, and making decisive and ruthless moves.

Coupled with the dwarven armor and dragon scale shield that had been shown before, such a skill with such equipment was no less than that of the elite warriors in the big family, and it had a strong psychological impact on the priests of the Silver Moon Church.

Some of them have realized that the enemy in front of them is clearly not something that can be defeated with just a mouth.

This Shuangxiu Sect, which has only been out for half a year, is more dangerous than everyone expected.

So the priests did not disperse and returned to their respective stations, but met together to come to the city of Scales.

The Scaly City is one of the few towns to have two temples at the same time.

Among them, the Great Temple of Sisili is mainly a place for young people who have the potential to become priests to further their studies, and is located in the west of the city.

The Great Temple of Alberto, to the east of the city, houses the coffin of the High Priest of Caocas and is also the place where the Silvermoon Church deliberates and discusses important matters.

The priests came here in the hope of finding the reason for this defeat, and more importantly, finding a way to deal with Li Yu and his Shuangxiu Sect.

However, before they could discuss the result, they heard another bad news!

- High Priest Reeves is dead.

High Priest Reeves was the second oldest of the seven high priests, and the only one who was older than him was High Priest of Cocuon.

However, unlike the obviously old and foolish High Priest of Cocuon, who just wanted to keep his position, and got by, High Priest Reeves was quite energetic.

For nearly 100 years, he had been working tirelessly within the Church to find allies and cultivate his own power, and the other of the Seven High Priests, High Priest Herodotus, had been raised by him, and he was almost obedient to him, like his shadow.

In fact, High Priest Reeves and his cronies have almost controlled half of the Silvermoon Church, and only High Priest Martina and her disciples can barely compete with it.

But he is such a powerful big man, who says death is death.

And because he felt guilty about what happened in the green field a few days ago, he felt sorry for the goddess, and finally chose to cut off his own life.

Many priests were shocked by the fierceness of High Priest Reeves.

But the problem is that the Silvermoon Church is not an island nation in another universe, and it is not popular.

High Priest Reeves is getting old again, even if he doesn't do a good job, he can just step down from his position, and there is no need to do it so desperately.

…………

"The teacher wanted to tell us in this way that the time had come for the church to change." Herodotus, uncharacteristically, did not listen obediently this time, but was the first of the six high priests to speak.

"Change...... What does it mean? The High Priest of Kircuon frowned, as an old man, he didn't like to hear these two words the most.

"We need to build our own army." Herodotus' words caused an uproar among the priests.

"This is ridiculous," Cockuon shook his head, "that the Church and the nobles of the Westlands have a pact that they will provide us with military protection, and we will protect their souls from filth.

"Just because of a double retreat, you have to break the sacred oath of thousands of years, High Priest Herodotus, I think you may have overreacted a little and lost your high priestly demeanor."

The high priest of Kircuon is usually best at pretending to be deaf and dumb and muddy, and this time it is rare to say a heavy word, which shows that he is indeed dissatisfied with Herodotus's theme.

And Herodotus did not budge this time, and said leisurely, "The Shuangxiu Sect has formed an army that belongs to them. ”

"Only a hundred." High Priest Hesiod added.

"We have a hundred times as many believers as theirs, but we don't even have a hundred guards."

"The nobles of the West......"

"Leave those nobles alone, they can't be relied on at all, and when our believers were murdered by the Black Dog Guard, they stood aside and stood by."

Herodotus reiterated, "We need an army of our own, completely following our orders, and not too many of them, three thousand men in the early stage will suffice." ”

"Three thousand?" High Priest Gonaia was shocked when she heard this, "Isn't there only a hundred people in the Shuangxiu Sect. ”

"Merlin's lizardmen, young and old, can fight when necessary, and don't forget the Arias army.

"Ilea is determined to take refuge on Saturday, they are now wearing the same pants, and if we do something about the Tsujo Sect, the Arias family will definitely not sit idly by."

"Where did we get the money?" High Priest Kircuon raised his voice, "Do you know how much it costs to raise an army of three thousand?" So many people have to eat, drink, weapons and equipment, and the cost of training...... We don't have dragon's blood or black gold to sell. ”

Herodotus said that you can easily save this money if you are less greedy, but now is not the time to turn your face, so he said.

"We can go to the believers to raise donations, we have millions of believers, as long as each person gives one, no, half a silver coin, we have 50,000 golden lions for military expenses, enough for a while."

Hearing that he didn't have to pay for it himself, the High Priest of Kircuon softened slightly, but he still did not support the Church in raising its own army, and several other High Priests had similar opinions about him.
