On July 5, Archbishop Henry ordered the blockade of the railway around the royal capital, prohibiting trains from entering the surrounding area of the royal capital, and began emergency preparations for war.

Now that all cities and towns have fallen under the control of the Church of Truth, the railway has lost its role in Petersburg, and there will be no more supplies and soldiers to transport it, and if the railway is not blocked, then the only people who come to Petersburg by train will be the enemy.

Petersburg entered a state of total lockdown, and all the food, medicine, and liquor in the shops and taverns were requisitioned and sent to the army.

The news soon reached Mosk.

Knowing that Archbishop Henry had begun to prepare for war urgently and did not choose to send troops to suppress the rebels everywhere, Mavi immediately entered the Kremlin next door and found Katerina.

"Your Highness, the matter of Petersburg ...."

"I already know."

In the already tidyed study, Katerina handed a secret letter to Mavi: "Bodrenov has sent news that Petersburg has entered a state of wartime security, and the secret police are arresting the believers of the Church of Truth in the city, Seligall... Secretly executed. ”

Hearing the news of Seligall's secret execution, Mavi's breath stopped for a moment, and of course he remembered Seligall, one of his most proud students, who was not only bold and careful, but also quick-witted, and often able to draw inferences and put forward his own understanding of the truth.

He was also one of the first monks taught by Mavi, and was from the same group as Kovalev, Rusov, and others, and followed Katerina to the battlefield, participating in the Battle of Chelyabinsk, the Battle of Ufa....

Among the armies of Mosk, who were the first to attack, was Seliger.

Mavi sent him to Petersburg to preach in the area around the royal capital, a very dangerous task that could not be done without extraordinary abilities under the nose of the Cult of Wisdom.

Even though there were many dangers, knowing that the Central Holy See could not provide much help, Seligall resolutely took on the task and went to Petersburg alone, established a branch church, collected intelligence and information, and continued to develop believers....

Afraid of magic leaks, he doesn't even have a magic ring.

After the establishment of the secret police, the reactionary forces around the royal capital were immediately searched, and Seligall took the initiative to take the charge of setting fire to the aristocratic manor in order to better preach and cover the believers.

In prison, he used his eloquence to move countless prisoners, and such a capable and loyal believer who should have been the mainstay of the Church of Truth, but he was executed.

He was hanged by the Wisdom God Cult and hanged on the execution ground.

And Seliger's background is not a commoner, his father is a hero of the kingdom who defeated Emperor Bonaparte decades ago, and he is the elite of the kingdom, with a good life and honor.

He joined the Church of Truth, not for bread or for his own benefit, but for the future, future, and ideals of the Romanov kingdom.

After learning the news that Seligall was arrested and put in prison, Ma Wei thought about rescuing him and asked Fat Orange to collect information about the prison, and finally discovered....

The prison where Seligall is imprisoned seems to be no different from an ordinary prison, but in fact there are many monks of the Cult of Wisdom who are ambushed, and the Holy Daughter Constance brought by Archbishop Henry lives in the prison.

This is an impossible rescue, ready at any time with the help of Anatol, the god of wisdom who descends from the Holy Maiden.... Not an opponent that the Church of Truth can defeat at the moment.

The news of Seligall's death made Mavi's heart bleed.

"It was my incompetence that killed him."

"You're insulting him, Father."

Katerina looked at the self-pitying Mavi and said: "At the moment before the noose was tightened, he was still loudly calling on the people to believe in the truth, although the noose took his life, it could not kill him, he was a staunch idealist, and his sacrifice was willing." ”

"His name will be remembered by the world." Ma Wei took a deep breath: "Your Highness, I think the moment of decisive battle has come. ”

Archbishop Henry, who did not choose to suppress the rebels in various places, ordered urgent preparations for war, and the target could only be Mosk, which was also the only and last chance for the Cult of Wisdom to turn the tables.

As long as you can capture Mosk, kill Mavi Enders, and destroy the central papacy and core center of the Church of Truth....

The rebel armies everywhere will lose their leaders and become a swarm of headless flies, and the final result will be that they will be defeated one by one by the Cult of Wisdom.

"Father, they're coming at you." With a shallow smile on the corner of Katerina's mouth, she looked at Mavi with interest: "Are you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?"

"Death."

"I'm afraid, but I'm responsible." Ma Wei said expressionlessly: "Since you have chosen this path, you must be conscious." ”

"I'm scared too." Katerina suddenly said: "But what I am afraid of is not death, but the inability to fulfill the long-cherished wish of reviving the Romanov kingdom, this decisive battle .... We have to win. ”

"That's right, we have to win."

"I have ordered the arsenal in Tula to step up the production of 'Edward I' rifles, and Onufri and other generals who went out to block the railway are also on their way back to Mosk, and wartime materials are drawn from all over the country to supply the army first.... Father, I can only guarantee that there will be no problems on the kingdom side, and on the church side, it depends on you. ”

The decisive battle that Archbishop Henry wanted to start was not only a decisive battle between the aristocracy and the revolutionaries, but also a battle between the Church of Truth and the Cult of Wisdom.

In other words, before the modern magical war envisioned by Ma Wei is realized, the strength of the church side will determine the trend of the war.

Katerina's defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is .... The Church of Truth cannot defeat the Cult of Wisdom.

After learning that Archbishop Henry had begun urgent preparations for war, Mavi also issued an encyclical ordering the monks from all over the country to quickly return to Mosk to participate in the next decisive battle.

The civil strife in the Romanov Kingdom has always been the focus of other kingdoms, the Kingdom of Frederick, the Kingdom of Windsor, and the Barbarossa Empire are all watching the play, and the results of the decisive battle will also be transmitted back to China as soon as possible.

If the Church of Truth and the Cult of Wisdom are fighting each other, then you need to pay attention to the few tigers hiding in the jungle behind you.

No one knows if these kingdoms will take advantage of the situation.

It is precisely in order to prevent other kingdoms from taking advantage of the invasion that the Church of Truth and the Cult of God of Wisdom are frantically accumulating strength, recruiting troops, and improving themselves as much as possible, hoping to crush them.... Defeat your opponents.

"Didn't Yunia come with you?" Katerina asked, "Hasn't she been following you all the time?" ”

"She's practicing magic, and if Anatol, the god of wisdom, comes, only she can stop it, so practice more."

"How long will it take for her to become a god?"

"Actually, it's already possible." "This morning, she told me that she had touched the threshold of ascending to the gods, and that she could climb the steps of gods at any time and become a true god," Ma Wei said. ”

Katerina wondered, "Then what are you waiting for?" If you can become a god, why not become a god directly? ”

"Because once she becomes a god, she will break the shackles that bind the gods, and the gods who come down will not give her time to grow...."Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "So before the decisive battle begins, I want to increase the number of believers as much as possible, so that she can suppress her strength, so as to ensure that when she becomes a god, she will have enough strength to fight against other gods." ”

Katerina understood: "In other words, we try not to take the initiative to initiate a decisive battle, but to wait for the reaction of the Wisdom God Cult?" ”

"That's right, the Cult of Wisdom is also preparing for war, and their monks and priests are gathering in Petersburg, and it will take a few days to get ready, and so will we."

Ma Wei thought about it and said, "In the past few days, I will improve Yunia's strength as much as possible to prepare for the decisive battle. ”

"I heard you've been tracking down members of the Hidden Church lately, intent on devouring their gods?"

"With this in mind, in addition to these, I also plan to search for the lost kingdom of God to see if I can get their help..."

Katerina frowned slightly: "With the power of the gods of the old era, aren't you afraid of being counterattacked?" ”

"If you can't defeat the Cult of Wisdom, where will there be?"

Ma Wei smiled helplessly: "Only when you defeat the enemy can you think about the future." ”
