Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Western Alliance
The nobleman then handed the telescope to the other man beside him, who took the letter suspiciously, followed his example, and placed the telescope in front of his eyes.
Soon he exclaimed, "Really, I saw the deer too, I can even see its eyes and the beautiful pair of antlers on its head!"
"It's amazing! With this artifact, we will be able to grasp the movements of the enemy army before the battle begins. ”
The telescope was passed on continuously, and some people used it to look at the forest in the distance, others to look at the towns below them, and others tried to use it to observe the birds in the sky......
Without exception, they were all shocked by the clear vision of the gadget in their hands.
And Li Yu's miracle in person is also more inspiring than any promises and guarantees.
Although they still couldn't guess what kind of divine punishment would be inflicted on Saturday to stop the Winged Clansmen from conquering the continent of Bratis.
But at least everyone's hearts are not as dazed and desperate as they were at the beginning.
After that, Kamzi took the lead in drawing the saber at his waist and shouted, "For the West!" ”
The head of the Tereles family placed his sword straight in front of him, and then the other nobles drew their swords one after another, echoing, "For the West!! ”
The crowd formed a circle, folding the blades of their swords, and Miss Rabbit was the last to draw her sword, placing the claw that Edward II had given her on top of them.
At the same time, he also said in a deep voice, "For the West!" ”
After a pause, the maiden continued, "I, Ireya, daughter of Blood-Eyed Ruth, head of House Arias, master of Greenfield, Cape Crab, and Fort Stone, dragon slayer, and the most devout believer of Saturday, hereby swear an oath.
"I am willing to be allies with you to resist the invasion of the Wing Clans, and to defend the land left behind by our ancestors until my blade is broken, and the last drop of blood is shed, and I rest in my homeland."
All the nobles then followed the female lord in taking the oath.
From this moment on, the Western Alliance was officially established.
However, the meeting did not end there, and the crowd walked from the banquet hall of Teacup Castle to the open space in front of the castle.
Li Yu held an initiation ceremony here for the lords who planned to join the Shuangxiu Sect.
Now the western realm is turbulent, because the previous series of events have caused the vitality of the Silvermoon Church to be greatly damaged, and the scenery is no longer beautiful.
Of course, the most important thing is that Picia is unable to provide shelter for her followers, and in the face of the great enemy, the lords of the Westlands have finally put aside their old traditions and reserves and turned to the arms of Saturday.
One by one, they stepped forward, knelt on one knee, completed the oath of initiation in the melodious and tactful tune of "What a Beautiful Jasmine", and received their respective silicone bracelets.
However, at present, most of the Hughes of the Shuangxiu Sect have been sent out to preach, although Li Yu has recalled some of them, but compared to the aristocratic families who are willing to open the door to the Shuangxiu Sect now, this point of missionary manpower is not enough at all.
Therefore, this time, although dozens of lords of large and small families had converted to Saturday, Li Yu was unable to convert all the lords in their territory into believers in a short period of time.
In fact, the number in the faith count bar on Fifty Fathoms has been increasing every day during this time, but the rate has not increased.
This is not because the market is saturated, of course, but because the missionary staff of Shuangxiu has reached its limit.
If you want to speed up further, you can only continue to expand the team, and Li Yu is already working on this thing.
He had two church schools under construction, and he was going to standardize the formation of Hughes as much as possible.
But it's not easy to find enough potential nurturers.
In order to become a Hughes, you must first have a strong faith, secondly, you must be able to pass the test of thought and morality, in addition, you must be able to read and count, be familiar with the doctrine and the precepts, and a certain degree of eloquence is also essential.
Looking at it this way, the conditions are still quite harsh, especially just being able to read and write can already kill a lot of people.
Therefore, Li Yu still needs to set up a literacy class, and it will take a year at the earliest to train qualified missionaries in large quantities.
Li Yu's main focus is still on the war against the Wing Clan, and he doesn't have time to keep an eye on the school, so he handed over this part of the work to Quintus after hanging up the position of headmaster.
The latter used to be the high priest of the Silver Moon Church, and the Silver Moon Church, as a large sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, still has a lot to learn from in terms of talent training.
The most important thing is that Quintus's moral standards are far higher than those of many people, and playing political intrigue may be a disadvantage, but it is perfect for teaching and educating people.
After the initiation ceremony, Li Yu gave each of the lords a pair of binoculars as promised.
Those who receive this holy artifact are overjoyed to receive a treasure.
After that, the female lord also graciously invited everyone to stay in the new city for an extra night and participate in the dinner together, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to strengthen the bond and prepare for the future battle side by side.
As a result, there was a small episode in the dinner, when everyone was drinking happily and the guests and hosts were happy, a team of black dog guards from the Double Rest Sect suddenly broke into the banquet hall.
Knocked the Redmayne boneless to the ground.
In an instant, the banquet, which was still full of laughter and noise, suddenly became quiet.
All that remained was Florian's scream, "Is this the hospitality of the Arias family?!" ”
Miss Rabbit, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at him and sipped a coke in her hand.
The Boneless continued, "Is this because I have objected to you becoming the commander of the Defenses? I don't think I've offended you in anything else, so you're taking revenge on me for what happened this morning. ”
Finally, the other nobles couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and said, "Sir Elia, let him pass the past, we have all made an oath, and now we are allies." ”
"Sir Coffey, do you think I'm such a cautious person?" The female lord finally spoke.
Coffey didn't speak, acquiescing to the statement.
As everyone could see, apart from the morning conflict, the Boneless did not offend Ilea again, and the Redmayne family behind him did not have any grudges against the Arias family.
Now that the Wing Clan has not arrived, there is a conflict within the rebels, which is not a good sign.
Seeing that everyone was looking at this side, Miss Rabbit finally put down the Coke in her hand and asked Tom, who was leading the team, "Is he alone?" ”
Tom nodded, "We caught one of his attendants leaving the green field overnight, and the boy's mouth was not very hard, and he poured everything out when he was slightly frightened. ”
