Chapter 109: Patrol

The lord is not the only one in the realm who has been particularly busy lately.

For example, the bishop of the Church of Light and Order in the territory, Lord Bellman, is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground.

Of course, being busy for the supreme mission is the greatest blessing for every apostle who believes in the gods.

This kind of blessing is both spiritual satisfaction and joy, as well as fulfillment in the practical sense.

With the beginning of the counterinsurgency operation in the Primorsky Territory, the churches allied with the lords are also actively taking action, constantly sending priests to the villages poisoned by the liberal cult to fill the faith vacuum after the cult is bulldozed.

The gods to the gods, the lords to the lords, this is a very clear cooperation, Vincennes military suppression, the restoration of stability in the Church.

After declaring their allegiance to the lord, the villagers who were actually very frightened in their hearts actively asked to return to Orthodoxy, which saved a lot of missionary effort for the priests who had been driven away one after another.

Vincent was invincible all the way north, but the killing was really not much, and even the priests were lamenting why the demon prince became a lord and did not have such a common behavior as slaughtering the village when he put down the rebellion.

You must know that this kind of thing is basically a basic operation for nobles, and many lords who have no money and have to fight and pretend to be forced to use Tucun as a reward to pay their subordinates and mercenaries.

Vincent attacked not many villages along the way, but the demonstration effect was good, and many villages and towns with a wait-and-see attitude let down their guard, some announced their submission in advance, and some were ready to surrender when they saw the army.

Many cultists who were regarded as guests were also secretly arrested, some were sent to Silver Dragon Castle, and some were directly stuffed to the church.

For a moment, Bishop Bellman was surprised to find that the lost parish was rapidly recovering.

This refreshed the excited Bishop, who looked as if he was ten years younger, and even the few gray hairs left on his head looked extraordinarily energetic.

During the day, he would preside over prayer ceremonies, select expatriates, organize missionary and living supplies, find time to preach and train young clergy, and in the evening, when he had taken care of all his practical work, he could not resist opening his diary to write down his small deeds and make marks on the parish map hanging on the wall.

Although Lord Vincent had jokingly said that serious people did not keep a diary and would not explore maps, the bishop still thought that it was the arrogance of young people, and that the joy of older people making notes was unimaginable.

As the number of church flags on the map increased, the bishop had a bold idea.

Maybe the map is indeed too small, and he wants to go out of the city to parade to appease people's hearts.

Even the Demon Lord dared to go deep into danger, was he, a bishop who had been in the territory for nearly twenty years, so timid?

Power brings not only honor, but also an unshirkable responsibility, and the bishop understands this.

The Church has its own Guardian Knights, and if some militia were to be recruited from the lands under the direct jurisdiction of the Church, the scene would not be too ugly.

By this time, the Bishop regretted that he hadn't bought hundreds of decent sets of armor from Vincennes in the first place.

Even the skeletons are better dressed than the militia called Hanako......

So, Bishop Bellman did not put on a show, but sent his team of cathar knights, joined the drafters and volunteers outside the city, and together with the pastors and choirs of the church, they assembled a team of 500 people, and began to go on a grand tour. ….

In order to quell the rebellion, Vincent had to make detours or stops to fight, so the march was more time-consuming, but the Bishop took the main road and only placed the villages along the way, so it was very efficient and eye-catching.

Seeing that Lord Vincent overcame the difficulties first, and then Bishop Bellman preached and appeased, the villagers who were already determined were even more overjoyed.

But no one understands why these big names are so diligent this year, and no one has ever cared so much about them in decades.

In the village of Nur and in the village of Dolan, the bishop was warmly welcomed, and the people knelt on the side of the road, asking for forgiveness and forgiveness from the gods.

This made the bishop, who likes to listen to the sound of praise, feel extremely relieved.

In return, the village

The people were given the opportunity to repent and were publicly declared by the bishop to be allowed to return to the Orthodox faith.

However, just as the bishop was preparing to spend the night in the village of Dolan in the evening, and watch "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" with the devout believers, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the village road.

To be honest, the elderly don't want to be disturbed when they watch the story emotionally.

"Who broke into the village?" The bishop asked the priest beside him, "The one who came on horseback must have been a knight?"

The reason for this question was that he knew that the one who could enter the village on horseback without being intercepted must be Vincent's subordinates.

However, he did not remember that Vincennes had cavalry.

At least Vincent's nightmare beast wouldn't let anyone else ride it.

"It's a ...... It should be a brute cavalry." The priest who had gone to check it out returned and reported, "There should be no such person in our territory, he is a messenger sent by the lord to say that there is a serious matter to report."

The brute cavalry was the traditional Herodian name for the Skava riders, and of course, tradition sometimes meant years of prejudice.

Demons are really good at using people, but the Skava are at least human, and it's better than Vincent sending a rancid Harpy to deliver a letter to him.

The bishop stood up quietly, glanced back at the shadow again, and walked slowly out.

"Keep performing, make everyone happy, don't care about the departure of an old man."

This command before leaving made the village who was a little at a loss feel relieved.

Looks like an empathetic bishop!

When Bellman saw the messenger who had come to deliver the letter, he couldn't help but look at the short-armed knight with two sabers pinned to his waist.

Although he was dusty and smelled of wine, the knight's eyes were full of fierceness, and he was not tired at all.

Compared to him, the horse was in a state of limbo, trembling and almost falling to the ground.

"Are you the Bishop?" Schiff saluted a bishop he had never seen in his life, and then said with relief, "This must be a picture! Looks like I've done my job."

"Sir, where did you come from, and the horses were tired from running so fast." The bishop kindly asked, "Where is the lord?"

"Oh, that's right, Lord Bishop, it's not far, but the horse can't do it, it was for the little girl to ride, and I had to ride it, and Herod's horse endurance is not good, and I still pick and choose......

When it comes to horses, Schiff starts to gush, but when he sees Bellman's intriguing smile, he realizes he's lost his words.

"The reason why I came here is because the lord is in a ...... In the village of Pinewood, a tragic incident has been discovered that has angered the gods, and the lord thinks that it is a matter of the reputation of the church, so he asked me to report it to you as soon as possible."

As soon as he heard this, a glint flashed in Bierman's slitted eyes, and he looked around without a trace, and then approached Schiff.

"Tell me, is it a cult?"

"Yes, Lord Bishop." Schiff lowered his voice and said, "An entire village of villagers who were about to return to the Righteous Faith were killed by the cultists...... My lord, I'm a step late."
