"Missionary?" David looked at the man who suddenly appeared and looked at Gareth Stanton next to him in surprise.

The missionary, Raines, was brought in by Gareth Stanton.

"This missionary was introduced by Earl Sutton-Stewart." Gareth Stanton explained the situation in the simplest of words.

Hearing that it was Earl Sutton-Stewart, David immediately understood what was going on.

When he first learned about some of the temple's plans through the eavesdropping device in the royal capital, he hadn't seen any special movement since he came back for almost a year, and he thought that the pharmacist Cordell was a pawn specially arranged by the temple to his side.

I didn't expect there to be missionaries who came to ......

When you think about it, it's also reasonable to say that if the temple wanted to develop believers in the northern part of the kingdom of Tiran, it would need someone to be in charge of missions.

This kind of work cannot be entrusted to someone like a "spy" or a "pharmacist".

"Welcome to Wintertown, Missionary Rains." After welcoming the missionary, David asked "pretend" if there was anything important for the Rains missionary to do after he had traveled all the way from the Holy Gaunt Kingdom to the northernmost border of the Kingdom of Tiran.

"To spread the gospel of the gods." Missionary Rains was happy to make his intentions clear, and he was going to build a church here in Wintertown, and then spread the teachings of the Temple, so that the kingdom of Tiran, the northernmost human kingdom on the continent, would also be a place where the light of the gods could shine.

Before coming here, he was not satisfied with this mission, and felt that it was not a good task to go to a remote village with a harsh environment.

Even if he succeeded, he didn't think that a remote town could affect the entire Tiran Kingdom, and he was not very optimistic about the plan to slowly affect the core of the kingdom from the periphery.

But the task had been handed over to him, and he had no room to refuse, so he could only embark on the road to the northernmost part of the Kingdom of Tiran.

Along the way, he felt more and more that this mission was a headache for him, and he was afraid that he would have to suffer for many years in this remote countryside.

He even wondered if he had offended someone. That's why you sent him to such a place?

When he arrived on the northern plains, looking at the rough and backward villages, he had already begun to think about what enemies he had.

Until we arrive in Wintertown!

I have to say that when the town of Rindong, which had already completed construction, appeared in front of him, he suspected that he was going in the wrong direction.

Renes did not think that he had arrived on the remote frontier of the Kingdom of Tiran, but in the most prosperous and lively region of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt.

Only there can you see such a beautiful, gorgeous and clean town.

"No, even those places can't be cleaner and tidier than here!"

The houses in Winter Town are beautifully built, and there is no dirty filth or garbage on the flat and wide road, which is enough to make the road where several horse-drawn carriages travel side by side look very imposing, and even more set off the imposing palace in the distance.

Realizing that his mission was actually not so bad, Rennes immediately went from the abyss to heaven, so when he met Baron David Glamorgan, the lord of Wintertown, he was in such a state.

However, when he greeted Lord David Glamorgan, hoping to establish a sanctuary dedicated to the gods in Wintertown, the Baron was cold.

It's not surprising that the people of the Kingdom of Tiran don't believe in the Templar gods, otherwise they wouldn't have made him all the way to Winter Town.

The missionary, anticipating the troubles he would encounter, decided to get to work at once, so that he could build a house of his own, having obtained permission from his lord.

Of course, you must hire a local construction team in Winter Town, and you must first purchase a piece of "land" from the lord.

Although the lord had said that only areas with infrastructure could be built to build houses for people, he didn't quite understand what that meant.

But understand that it is over if you ask for money! This is not a problem at all for Raines, who has ample start-up capital!

Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!

"If only I could pay the lords of Wintertown to help me promote the Templar faith."

It's a pity that Baron Glamorgan doesn't take this topic at all, and only says what the people in Winter Town believe, it's their freedom, and you can develop followers in Winter Town on your own, provided that you don't violate the laws of the Kingdom of Tiran and Winter Town.

Regardless, Raines was given a plot of land and could serve as a missionary in Wintertown, and his mission began.

So far, everything has gone well, and it wasn't until he began to contact the people of Winter Town that he realized that many people here had their own beliefs.

"Light? What's that?"

It was only at this time that Raines knew that the huge building located in the southwest of the Winter Fortress was called the Cathedral of the Light, and that the people here generally believed in the existence of a being called the Light, and the Cathedral of the Light was built for this purpose......

After meeting Raines, David returned to his office and summoned Edwin Van Cleeff to focus on the missionary from the Holy Kingdom of Gunth.

"If he preaches the temple to the people of the town, do you know what to do......

"Yes, my lord, I know what to do."

As a result, when Raines was discussing faith with the residents of Wintertown, someone would interject "at the right time" to say, "We believe in the Light."

Since most of the current people in Winter Town are former members of the Stonemason's Guild and their relatives from Azeroth, this answer is well received.

Even if Renes occasionally bumps into the "natives of this world", someone will rush to answer at the right time.

Because they have lived together for a short time, the farmers are already familiar with each other, and no one will notice anything unusual when they are together, and these people who intervene are indeed farmers in Winter Town, so Raines can't see the problem.

In addition, the Holy Light is no secret in Winter Town, and as the number of people using the Holy Light increases, more and more people have seen the Holy Light.

Occasionally, a resident has a headache, brain fever, or an injury, but finding someone in Wintertown who understands the Holy Light can be treated quickly.

In particular, after the two Holy Light priests, Liadlin and Sally Whiteman, came to Winter Town, when they saw someone in need, even if the other party did not ask for help, the two would offer to help.

The two Holy Light Priests have made the Holy Light quickly popularized in the small town of Winter Town, so even if someone "replaces" them to answer, these "natives" will echo it, saying, "That's right, we all believe in the Holy Light!"

In this way, Reigns could not detect the anomaly, and he only felt a great crisis: what is the Holy Light? Why is it so strongly recognized in this remote place?

Just as he was confused and continued to wander around Wintertown, wanting to learn more, he ran into Mark Watney, who had nothing to do lately and was growing new fruit in his field.

After trying to ask again, he finally didn't hear the word "holy light" from the other party's mouth anymore, and when he tried to ask the other party if he had any "faith", he got a reply that made him even more confused.

"Mother Earth is protecting you!"

「？？？」

While Raines was in a state of confusion, David was listening to information from Floyd and Kraussa.

"A hundred knights (cavalry) of the Knights of the Iron Tree? Three hundred fully armed elite infantry and a hundred strong archers?" David looked at the two people in front of him, and was a little surprised by the "number of reinforcements" given by the two people: "Iron Tree Fort has made a lot of money this time."

He did not question the accuracy of the information they brought back, because Kraussa and Freud had not only carefully observed the reinforcements, but even took many photographs.

"In addition to that, there are close to a thousand auxiliaries." A thousand auxiliaries are conscripted farmers, these

They are all trained semi-professional soldiers, and when necessary, they can also be pulled into battle after being issued with some weapons and simple protective gear.

Under normal circumstances, these auxiliaries are only responsible for auxiliary work such as transporting supplies and setting up camps.

Looking at the photos in front of him, David also noticed another pile of photos with various ruins: "These are ...... A village in the eastern part of the northern plains?"

"Yes! Kraussa and I went to the east to check it out, and I guess that's the real reason why Irontree sent reinforcements."

David looked at the photos quietly, and finally saw a large number of orcs on a few photos, and even a photo of the orcs pulling their bows and shooting arrows at the photographers: "Oh, this is a good picture!"

Flipping the photo in his hand, David's mind was thinking about something else: the number of orcs was growing too fast! Where did so many orcs come from? Could it be that the eastern part of the Northern Plains is connected to another region? There are a lot of orcs living in that area?

"It looks like this winter in Snowfield Castle is going to be very lively......

"Your Excellency." After Freud had reported the necessary military information, he added another matter: "On the way back, Kraussa and I went to see the support force again and made sure that they were indeed heading in the direction of Fort Snow."

It is almost certain that this force is going for the orcs, and David does not have to worry that when he wakes up, there will be a bunch of people lined up on the plains outside Winter Town waiting to be shot.

"However, there is a small team that has broken away from the main force, and judging from the direction the other party is heading, it may be that they want to come to Winter Town."

"Oh?" David looked down and rummaged through the photos, and Floyd immediately found a few of them for David to see.

At first glance, David saw an acquaintance in the photo: "Isn't this Maloney Mansfield?"
