Chapter 6: Gwen's Decision
Miss Rabbit didn't understand, it was clear that Herodotus had been caught, and the Blood Moon Society had lost its leader, seeing that it was only one step away from falling apart, why did she resurrect and snatch the Scaly City?
In addition, is the position of the High Priest of the Silver Moon Church cursed, you must know that the last time six High Priests died in one breath was more than a year ago, and it only didn't take long for six more to die.
Will anyone dare to be the high priest of the Silvermoon Church in the future?
And it was obviously not only the female lord who felt incomprehensible, but Ge Wen's face in Rock Snow City was also full of astonishment, and he questioned the high priest of Quintus in front of him.
"How do you guard Herodotus, how can people go wrong right under your noses?! And isn't Scaly City the territory of your Silvermoon Church, where the people have an extremely devout belief in Picia, how could they fall to Herodotus? ”
"The Blood Moon also believes in Picia." Quintus reminded.
"Really, but the Silver Moon Church has a history of thousands of years in the Western Realm, right, can't you even compete for a Blood Moon Society?"
"Normally, most of the people in the city still support us, except for a small number of people who are blinded by the Blood Moon Society."
"Then why is it the way it is?" Ge Wen's expression was not good, and he looked like he was ready to ask the teacher for sin.
"Because of Shapiro." Quintus sighed.
"Shapiro?" Gwen thought for a moment, "Is there anything wrong with the head of the Raimundi family, the lord of the Scaly City, I heard that he is a staunch supporter of yours and has been actively pursuing Herodotus and the fellow of the Blood Moon Society.
"His father and brother seem to have died at the hands of Herodotus, why, could it be that he also rebelled? Then this Herodotus is really a bit eloquent. ”
"Shapiro didn't mutiny, but the problem is that he's a little too aggressive."
Quintus said, "In order to avenge his father and brother, he killed 20,000 people in one go, sowing the seeds of hatred, and when Herodotus occupied the city of Scales before, the city was in chaos, and many people joined his new army just to protect themselves.
"As a result, Shapiro said that he killed all of them, and those people still had relatives and friends in the city, and it took me a great deal of effort to dispel the resentment in the hearts of some of them when I became the high priest.
As a result, instead of stopping, Shapiro intensified his efforts to hunt for the Blood Moon Society everywhere, and as long as there was the slightest suspicion, he would put them in dungeons and torture them to death, and even took pleasure in it.
"I tried to persuade him many times, but he didn't want to listen to me, and after he was caught this time, he also lynched Herodotus in private many times, and even had Herodotus dragged out into the street, stripped of his clothes, and showed his wounds to the people.
This led to the eventual riot, and Shapiro and his guards were dragged off their horses by the angry crowd and torn into several pieces.
"These mobs!" Ge Wen snorted coldly, "If you dare to take the initiative against them, you must be severely punished!" ”
"Now is not the time to dwell on this kind of thing." "And Shapiro is at fault first, he shouldn't anger the people in the city, which is tantamount to pushing everyone to the side of the Blood Moon Society."
"He also portrayed Herodotus as a martyr, bringing his prestige to its apex."
"A mob alone can take over Scaly City?" Gwen was skeptical.
"Of course not, there should be people from the Blood Moon Society behind this, and now that I think about it, Herodotus is likely to have been caught by us on purpose this time."
Quintus regretted a little, "We should have killed him in the first place, but he knows a lot about the Silvermoon Church and should have guessed that we wouldn't do it." ”
Gwen got up and paced around the room a few times with a headache, then asked Quintus, "How many people do you think it will take to take down the Scaly City?" ”
"At least ten thousand......," Quintus thought for a moment, "I don't know much about military matters, but Scaly City is also a well-known fortified city in the west, and Herodotus is very good at inciting the people. ”
"An army of tens of thousands." Gwen looked embarrassed, mainly because he had lost a lot of men in the Dragonspine Mountains before, and then Hulse took another 10,000 men to help Lionheart.
Although Lionheart Fort is gone at this time, Hulse will not be able to return for a while, and it will not be easy to gather another 10,000 people.
Quintus saw that Gwen had been frowning, so he reminded, "There should be some manpower on the Arias family's side...... Ser Ilea has been preparing for the Wing-Clan to expand her army, and I have already sent for her help. ”
Without even thinking about it, Ge Wen refused, "She can't." ”
After saying that, he realized that his wording might be inappropriate, and explained, "There is no need to ask Ser Ilea for help, she just led the army to defeat those dwarves, let her rest well, and we will solve the affairs of Multiscale City ourselves." ”
The prestige of the female lord in the West was high enough, and Gwen didn't want to add another line to the former's already dazzling record to defeat the Blood Moon Society and reclaim the Scaly City.
Moreover, in Gewen's eyes, although Herodotus and the Blood Moon Society were troublesome, countless nobles in the Western Realm had nothing to do with them before, but this was because they had been hiding in the shadows.
And once they get to the stage, it's no longer scary.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no one on hand now, Ge Wen would have led his troops directly to fight him.
He was very confident in his ability to lead his troops into battle, which was definitely not comparable to a conspirator like Herodotus, who played with power.
"Wait a little longer." Gwen said to Quintus, "I will send someone to deliver a message to the families, gather the army, and when the people are together, I will personally lead the army to attack the city of Scales, and now let Herodotus live for a few more days." ”
Quintus opened his mouth, he wanted to warn Gwen not to underestimate Herodotus.
Because the people who underestimated Herodotus before didn't end well, but Quintus and Gwen had also dealt with him several times, and he knew that the great nobleman in front of him was very stubborn.
As long as it is something he thinks of, he can't listen to any advice at all, so even if Quintus speaks, he is just looking for fun.
Quintus could only nod, "Then do as you say, Lord Gwen."
"The rest of the people in the city are not all interested in the Blood Moon Society, I was able to escape from the city this time, and it was also with the help of those people, I will find a way to contact the people in the city again, and see if I can work together to recapture the multi-scale city."
