Chapter 45, pay to put on the bright side

The enemy soldiers are under the city, but the city of Dadir is still singing and dancing. For the senior management of the Skull Club, who has been hiding in XZ for a long time, he finally has the opportunity to turn over and become the master, how can he not enjoy it?

Even if there are a few sober people, they can't do anything in the face of the general trend. To put it bluntly, most of the Skull and Bones are small people in the market.

There are only a handful of "cultural people" who can write their own names, and their limited knowledge leads them to stare at one acre and three points of land, and there is no long-term plan at all.

If it weren't for the belief in evil gods, this would be an ordinary peasant rebel army, and after overthrowing the rule of the aristocratic lord, they wouldn't know what to do.

The lack of talent is not only a problem for the Skull and Bones Society, but also a common problem faced by many cult organizations in Aslant.

Theoretically speaking, the Holy See is in decline, and without the pursuit of the Church, the cult organization should develop greatly.

But the reality is the opposite, since the decline of the Holy See, the cult organization has also declined.

The aristocracy who is the master of the house is extraordinarily tolerant of his own people. The relaxed social and political environment has made the aristocracy who have joined the cult almost extinct.

It turned out that when the church was in power, as long as it was involved with the cult, it would be burned at the stake if it could not prove its innocence, and many nobles had to follow the cult.

It's useless now, it's just "suspicion", and there is no conclusive evidence, but it can't convict the noble lord.

Even if the crime is confirmed, as long as the actual harm has not been caused, there is still an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

This change has directly led to a geometric increase in the difficulty of cult organizations in attracting people to join the group. Even if you kidnap people, there is a possibility that they will repeat.

The aristocracy stopped playing with them, which directly led to a sharp decline in the overall quality of the leadership of the cult organization, and the combat effectiveness of the cult organization also declined.

Three hundred years ago, the bloody moon cult was able to organize an army to confront the Holy See army head-on, forcing the countries of the mainland to join forces to deal with it.

The supposed sacredness of the Great Hall of Deliberation is now in full swing. A group of high-level Skull and Bones Guild leaders are working hard while discussing military affairs.

No one objected, because the core doctrine of the Skull and Bones Society was: "Indulge your desires and return to your nature." ”

It's not important if it's suitable to play so well, the key is that the evil gods behind the scenes like it.

Obscenity permeated the hall, and it seemed to be a lewd pleasure, but in fact it was a special priesthood. In this special way, the Skull and Bones leaders are proving to the evil gods that they are the most devout believers.

Obviously, this kind of game is very bad for the elderly high priest, and he does not participate in it at ordinary times. It's a pity that several successive failures have led to a significant decline in his voice in the church and he has lost the confidence to refuse.

It's better to make a fool of yourself than to lose your life. The character of the "wise man" was shattered, and the position of the high priest of the gray-robed old man was already unstable.

The prestige that he had accumulated on his own, coupled with the particularity of the high priest presiding over the sacrifice of the gods, was faintly able to confront the Holy Lord, and now he had to bow his head.

"Are you ready for the sacrifice?"

The masked man asked indifferently.

Instead of asking the enemy troops outside the city first, they cared more about the sacrifices, which is enough to prove that in the minds of the masked people, the importance of sacrifices is far greater than that of the menacing aristocratic coalition.

Hearing the question, the middle-aged man who was in charge of preparing the sacrifice hurriedly pushed away the woman under him and replied:

"Holy Lord, sixteen-year-old boys and girls are six hundred and sixty-six pairs, all kinds of ritual supplies are ready, and now there is a high-level demonic beast to salute and endless killing."

Looking at the scale of this sacrifice, you know that the skeleton will do something big.

"Don't worry about Warcraft, someone has already sent it. As for the endless killing, the enemies outside the city will soon help us out.

Let the people below take care of the lower half of their bodies, and the women in the city can play as they please, but the sacrifices of the gods must be clean. Whoever dares to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, I will send him to make amends to the gods.

High priest, you have the most experience in presiding over the sacrifice, and you will be responsible for presiding over the hundred-year sacrifice in this meeting! ”

The masked man said unquestioningly.

As soon as the words landed, everyone looked at the high priest gloatingly. It can be seen from the eyes that there must be no good thing in presiding over this sacrifice.

Facing the masked man's harsh gaze, the gray-robed old man finally didn't dare to say a word of refusal, and replied with a trembling body: "Yes, Holy Lord! ”

If you look closely, you'll see a puddle of mysterious liquid on the ground. Directly frightened half of his body incontinent, he didn't dare to open his mouth to refuse, obviously the skeleton holy lord in front of him was also a ruthless person, and the consequences of refusal were likely to be worse than presiding over the sacrifice.

……

Looking at the boundary monument in front of him, Hudson was immediately attracted by the words "Maple Leaf Town", which was the meeting point agreed by everyone in advance.

Calculate the time, the robbery brigade should have arrived a long time ago. After all, because of the enemy's attack, the grain transportation team was delayed for a day.

"Pass the order down, let the car that pulled the wounded go to the front of the queue."

Hudson ordered sadly.

Convergence with the main force means an increase in the safety factor, and it also means that the number of troops he can command will be greatly reduced.

Without having to pay for it themselves, who would dislike having more soldiers under their command? Hudson really didn't want to give up this force if he could.

It's a pity that the reality is cruel, the serf soldiers are the private property of the nobles, how can they allow him to occupy them?

obediently return the command, and you can also leave a little incense, and if you make trouble, you will only ask for trouble.

Although it is necessary to send it back, it is still necessary to sell badly. I don't want to emphasize how to highlight the merits of his Hudson knighthood.

Especially for the sake of everyone's interests, he gave up the woo of Earl Pierce and turned away the "fiefdom baron" in his hands.

The team moved slowly, and Hudson breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the familiar tents that appeared in the sky.

The arrival of the robbery brigade on time means that there are no accidents, the situation is still under control, and it also means that his choice is not wrong.

This cart and cart of wounded slowly drove into the camp, and the nobles of the Fifth Army, who were already in a bad mood, now became more and more ugly.

"Hudson, has something happened on the road? Grain, grass and ordnance, is there any loss? ”

Chels asked with concern.

If there is a problem with the food, grass and ordnance escorted, he, the commander of the Fifth Army, is the first person responsible. No amount of looting can compensate for the political consequences.

"Don't worry, Uncle Chels. I was only ambushed by the elite rebels on the road, but I still led the troops to repel it.

It is true that there have been considerable losses in grain, grass and ordnance, but on the whole they are still within a controllable range. For the sake of the results, it is enough to cover up the problems.

The trouble now is that the day after your departure, you were discovered by the griffon cavalry. Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but the night before, Earl Pierce had sent someone over......"
