High Priest Martina's counterattack came quickly, and on the second day of her entry into the City of the Lake, she immediately released carrier pigeons to the temples in various places.

first refuted Herodotus's accusations against her point by point, and then accused Herodotus of being the real murderer of the High Priest of Reeves.

Not only that, but High Priest Martina also stated that Herodotus had taken control of the remaining high priests by despicable means, in other words, almost the entire upper echelons of the church had fallen under his control.

The Church of the Silver Moon has reached its most dangerous time in a thousand years, so High Priest Martina has issued a call to all believers in the whole world, asking everyone to follow her to retake the Church from Herodotus!

Later, High Priest Martina sent messengers to all the great families in the western realms except for the Arias family, urging them to fulfill the sacred covenant of their ancestors and become the sword and shield of the goddess when the church faced a crisis!

The Mariel family of the City of the Lake was the first to respond, offering to lend Martina the High Priest three hundred warriors, led by Dordot, the uncle of the head of the house, to fight for the goddess.

Not far behind, High Priest Kircuon presided over a meeting of seven overnight, and although only four High Priests attended, the decision to expel High Priest Martina from the Silvermoon Church was unanimously approved.

The next day, the goddess Picias issued an oracle asking the Church to change its thousand-year-old traditions, select the most faithful and courageous believers, train them, form a guard, and defend the Church, and appointed Herodotus as the commander of this army.

Both sides are actively preparing for war, and the atmosphere in the western realm has suddenly become tense! Miss Rabbit looked confused.

She was ready to face the ensuing sanctions of the church after announcing her conversion on Saturday, but she didn't expect the sanctions to wait, and the Silvermoon Church actually messed up first.

Yin Leiya's mouth was crooked happily when she ate melons, and then she shared this happiness with Li Yu for a while.

However, Li Yu is not so optimistic about this.

"Don't you often say that powerful enemies often begin to disintegrate from within?"

The female lord said, "The split of the Silvermoon Church seems inevitable now, and this is also a good thing for us, and in the future, High Priest Martina and Herodotus will not be able to take care of us."

"The Silvermoon Church is divided, but it's getting tougher." Li Yu said, "Herodotus, in particular, is likely to develop into extremes.

"And he plans to form an armed force belonging to the Church. You've studied in church before, how much do you know about him?"

"High Priest of Herodotus?" The female lord thought for a moment, "He is a disciple of High Priest Reeves and the youngest of the seven High Priests, and then ...... No, he seems to have kept a low profile, and he doesn't seem to have done anything big since becoming a high priest."

Adele added, "There are many people in the church who think that the reason why High Priest Herodotus was able to beat many competitors to become high priest was because of his teacher, High Priest Reeves."

"Huh?"

"High Priest Reeves has an unusual obsession with power, and since becoming High Priest, he has been making allies and cultivating his own power, and my teacher, High Priest Martina, does not like him.

….

"And the two of them have a lot of differences on many issues...... High Priest Reeves, in order to further gain the initiative in the Council of Seven, after the death of High Priest Lysandros, pushed his disciple Herodotus to the position of High Priest.

"And Herodotus was also very obedient, and after becoming the high priest, he still addressed the high priest of Reeves as a disciple, obeyed his teacher, and was also very polite to several other high priests, and I have heard that he barely spoke at the Council of Seven."

"Isn't he just a pawn of High Priest Reeves?" Miss Rabbit said, "Why did you jump out uncharacteristically this time, could you say...... Did High Priest Reeves really die at the hands of High Priest Martina, and Herodotus wants to avenge his teacher?"

"Teacher, she wouldn't do such a thing." Adele insisted, "She has always hated violent solutions

Question."

"But this time, she took the initiative to contact the lords of the Western Realm and borrowed troops from them."

"This is also what I don't understand, what is it that shakes her faith, teacher." The former priest looked a little worried.

Although Adele has left the Silvermoon Church and joined the Church of Shuangxiu, there are some things that cannot be separated, such as the teacher-student friendship with High Priest Martina.

Especially this time the Silvermoon Church has undergone a drastic change, and High Priest Martina is at the center of this earthquake.

Li Yu suddenly interjected at this time, "As far as I know, every high priest in the Silver Moon Church has a division of labor, right, what is the main responsibility of High Priest Herodotus?"

"He is the custodian, and he is responsible for the preservation of the holy relics and the various texts in the church."

"Sounds like an idle job with a lot of power."

"Indeed, the Custodian is not a scenic location." Adele also admitted, "And Herodotus the High Priest didn't make many friends in the church."

"Isn't he ambitious?"

"Some people think so, but my teacher doesn't, right." The former priest thought of something, "Teacher, she once commented on Herodotus, saying that he was very dangerous."

"Danger? Why would a person who is in charge of the safekeeping of holy relics and books be in danger?" The female lord was also intrigued.

"I don't know, teacher, she didn't elaborate on it at the time." Adele shook her head.

Li Yu asked Yin Leia again, "You got the news that Herodotus led people to raid the residence of High Priest Martina, and then captured High Priest Hesiod, so how many people did he bring with him at that time, and where did those people come from?"

"It wasn't said in the message, but I could ask Ona to investigate, why are you interested in this detail? If nothing else, it should be the young priests who were seduced by Herodotus, or the mercenaries that Herodotus paid for."

"Because High Priest Martina has not come home."

Li Yu took out a map of the Western Realm, pointed to a piece of territory on it, and said, "You told me that High Priest Martina is from the Belon family, right, she didn't return home after escaping from the Scaly City."

"Teacher, she's worried about the pursuers behind her." Adele's heart tightened.

"And it's no ordinary pursuer." Li Yu said, "No mercenary in the West dares to hunt down a high priest, and as for sending a young priest to chase him, Herodotus should not be stupid enough to do so."

"When you say that, it's true, what is the High Priest Martina afraid of......" The female lord was suddenly stunned in the middle of speaking, and then blurted out, "The black-armored cavalry, it's those black-armored cavalry!"
