Chapter 1444: The Role of the Church

"Why do you look like this?"

Lorraine listened to the Grand Duke's questioning, looked at his neat clothes and bright leather boots, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while, rolled her eyes at him, and grinned and said nothing.

At this time, quite a few coalition officers came down from the war fortress.

All of them were neatly dressed, neat and tidy, their hair was meticulously combed, even the collar of their shirts was snow-white, not stained with the slightest dirt, and the various sparkles of military uniforms were as if they were about to go to the king's banquet.

On the other hand, the officers behind Lorraine had all their faces blackened with gunsmoke, as if they had just been dug out of the mound.

The smoke from the bullets was swept back by the sea breeze, and it all stuck to their faces.

The discipline buttons were also torn, the military uniform was crooked, and the collar was haphazardly hung on both sides. The sleeves are rolled up high.

The clothes were also tattered, and there were holes in the big and small places that had been scalded by the sparks, like a group of people called Hanako who were asking for food, and the identity emitted a pungent and choking smell with the smell of burning and burning, which was the strange smell of gun oil after being heated by bullets.

No wonder Archduke Julian said so about him.

In the past two years, Lord Lorraine has hardly gone into battle himself, and he has always been dressed up by his girlfriend, even if he is fighting with the high priest of the dead, he has never been as miserable as in front of him.

The group of people in front of them looked as if they had been trampled back and forth three times by a large group of horses.

The Grand Duke brought those officers to look at this side, and couldn't help whispering and pointing. I was quite puzzled. It's just an island. You don't have to play like this, do you?

The puppies under Lord Luo also felt a little ashamed, compared to the group of radiant guys, their own group of people seemed to be asking for food.

They quietly straightened up their clothes, tugged their hands on the corners of their clothes and pulled them down as hard as they could, then buttoned them and twisted their belts.

The Grand Duke looked at Lorraine's appearance, and at first had a gloating smile on his face, but then his face gradually became stern.

He said in a deep voice: "What, is it difficult to fight?"

I don't know if I'm tired or angry. Lord Lorraine didn't even have the strength to speak now, but raised his hand, pointed to the sea, and the beach in the distance, and shrugged his shoulders.

The Grand Duke was stunned for a moment, then turned to look, and then couldn't help but gasp, with a surprised expression on his face.

I saw that on the sea under the fleet, there was a layer of dead corpse stumps floating in the black, and all kinds of broken limbs kept undulating with the waves. One by one, squeezed one by one, airtight. So much so that there is not a trace of seawater in sight.

And on the beach in the distance, the corpses were also densely packed and piled up, leaving only the defensive positions of the human soldiers in the middle. From a distance, it looks like a volcano that has erupted.

Grand Duke Julian instantly felt a tingling of his scalp, and as long as he looked at this terrifying scene, he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

Even if he has been on the battlefield for decades, the corpses are piling up like a mountain, and the bloody battles are not known how many times, the scene in front of him is still beyond his imagination.

How many undead creatures did the undead fill here, 30,000 or 50,000?

In the middle of the pile of corpses that covered the beach, you could vaguely see the soldiers in the defensive positions sitting on the ground one by one, crying bitterly, or lying on their backs on the ground motionless. But all of a sudden, it collapsed and collapsed.

This kind of ups and downs is really too exciting, and it makes many people's feelings unstable. Although many of the Marines were veterans, this was the first time they had fought such a disparity in strength.

Only a handful of brave soldiers followed the officer, oblivious to the horrible pile of foul-smelling corpses at his feet, and swam up and down the beach, and when they saw a struggling dead spirit, they walked over and shot them in the head, smashing their heads like watermelons.

The crisp sound of gunfire came intermittently, but it set off the peace of the island after the war.

Seeing this, the Grand Duke took half a step back, then raised his hand, saluted solemnly to Lorraine and the officers behind him, and said, "You have worked hard. ”

Thanks to the Ne Fleet and the Marine Corps, which are armed with machine guns and artillery, the powerful firepower can form a network of fire that is insurmountable by any living being, and other armies that use swords would have long since been swallowed up by undead creatures like a flood.

Like a conditioned reflex, Lorraine also raised his hand in an instant and saluted.

At the same time, the officers behind him also saluted in unison, and at the same time shouted in unison: "Long live the empire~!"

The first victory was very exciting.

Not far away, the priests and priests on the other ships could not help frowning when they heard the slogan of the officers: this slogan was very taboo.

Because this time the operation was under the banner of the United Nations, in order to liberate the Semitic people who were enslaved by the undead.

According to the rules, everyone's slogan should be 'Long live the light', because everyone is from the camp of the god of light.

But these arrogant emperors don't take it seriously at all, and they only shout their original slogans.

This also shows from another aspect that these soldiers have never taken the light god uncle as the same thing~!

If they don't take the God of Light seriously, they don't take their apostles of the God of Light seriously.

However, despite their grievances, none of them dared to stand up and correct Lorraine.

After all, this battle was fought by the Rumandi ** people and the soldiers of the Elven Kingdom.

Just now, hundreds of artillery on the battlefield roared at the same time, the explosion was earth-shattering, and the scene of undead creatures covering the battleship like ants was like the end of the world, and many priests who went to the battlefield for the first time were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.

They looked at Lord Lorraine's shotgun-wielding soldiers with some fear in their eyes, these deadly puppies had almost shot the noses of the undead creatures.

And the priests, who were supposed to be the main force against the undead creatures, didn't do much from beginning to end, and they almost messed up. Let the necromancers wrap their dumplings.

At this time, it is better to shut up. so as not to annoy the Rumans. Ask them, "Where were you when Lao Tzu was fighting with the undead?"

At this moment, a warm cheer was suddenly heard.

Immediately after, I saw more than a dozen black shadows flashing overhead.

Lorraine looked up and saw only a dozen war fortresses roaring over the fleet, circling in a circle and slowly falling.

That's the war fortress that went out to bomb the Lich not long ago.

The war fortresses landed on the deck, and then several cardinals climbed down from the middle one, a little awkwardly.

The sailors on board rushed up to them and cheered them warmly: they were the heroes of the battle.

If it weren't for them finding the exact location of the lich manipulating the undead creatures. The bombardment was carried out, and perhaps now the necrons have enveloped them all.

In the face of a large number of undead creatures, even the most elite small troops are dangerous.

The cardinals were all tired and sweaty, and it seemed that they had made a lot of contributions.

At this time, I suddenly saw that everyone was so enthusiastic, and I was still a little unaccustomed to it, and all of them had stiff smiles on their faces, waving to everyone.

When they saw Lorraine and the Grand Duke, they hurried forward and saluted them.

Lorraine also smiled and said to the Great Justice: "Your Highness." Allow me to tell you about the greatest merit of this battle.

Cardinal Claude, Cardinal Reid. And Cardinal Greck......

It was they who used holy magic to find the location of those lichs and destroy them, and it was that we won the victory. ”

Then in a very low voice, he quietly added: "Probably it should be, right?"

The voice was so low that only Lorraine could hear it.

He was very suspicious in his heart, those lichs were not actually killed by them, and the lichs that could go to the sky and the earth could not be solved by a few bombs.

Instead, he was scared away by the main fleet that came up later.

Ren Sui's heart trembled when he saw the hostile ships all over the sea, and it felt like Lorraine himself saw the undead creatures on the beach.

But in any case, after the bombardment of those people, the Necromancy's attack did fail, so the credit can only be given to them. And in this way, it can also boost the morale of the soldiers.

Lord Luo sighed secretly while thinking: As he gradually grows up, he seems to be more and more degenerate, more and more like a politician he used to look down on.

The Grand Duke looked at them with interest, and then asked carefully, "How is it?

Claude glanced at each other, his face showed a confused expression, then shook his head, and said, "Your Highness, although we killed a few, we ran away more......"

He paused for a moment, then changed his tone, and then said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, the earl's compliment just now was a little too much.

It's better to say that we destroyed the lich, but that you arrived with a large army and scared them away. ”

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away, and was very impressed by the Cardinal Claude: this thing doesn't take credit, dare to tell the truth, it's a rare creature that has become extinct in the Vatino, I really don't know how it got into its current position in that hypocritical and treacherous Holy See?

At this point, Claude continued: "When we were reconnoitring from the air, we took a look, and this island is not big, but it is not small. There are also many mountains and forests on this island where the lich can hide. ”

Hearing this, Lorraine and the Grand Duke couldn't help but glance at each other.

This small island is a key point in the connection between the Semitic continent and the human continent, and it will be responsible for supporting all the transportation of materials in the future.

If the lich is hiding here, running out to do something like a guerrilla fight, and running away after the fight, then everyone should not be mixed. Hurry up and roll up the cover and walk.

This small island is also several kilometers wide, and if you want to thoroughly search and eliminate the lich, you have to comb it carefully several times, and this may not be able to kill it cleanly.

I don't have that time, leaving tens of thousands of people to play with a few lichs.

Lorraine thought for a moment, then frowned. "Your Excellency, Bishop." So how can we sweep the lich away?"

The cardinals next to him looked back. They all laughed.

When Lorraine heard this, she was not angry, but relaxed. Since the other party can laugh, it means that they have a solution.

Of course, if not, dare to laugh like this, the lord has a way to make them unable to laugh for the rest of their lives.

He and the Grand Duke looked at each other. And then I kept being patient, waiting for those people to finish laughing.

Claude laughed for a long time, then realized his gaffe, and hurriedly bowed, "Your Highness, Count." This problem is actually very easy to solve, and we have found a solution thousands of years ago. ”

"Oh??"

Claude said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, this matter is actually very simple, it is one, build a church." Repair the cathedral. ”

The Grand Duke suddenly smoked from his seven orifices: nmlgbd~! These dead bald people are really not greedy enough. The island hasn't been taken yet, so they're going to grab territory here.

And alongside. Lord Luo was also embarrassed.

The leader of this gang is the girlfriend of the lord, and he also gave birth to all the babies.

Therefore, although the lord has no good impression of these bald people, as long as he can take care of them, he will also take care of one or two, and this is also his little brother.

But it's so shameless, just grab it here, and the lord is embarrassed to help openly.

Claude looked at the unkind faces of the two, and immediately knew that they would be wrong, so he hurriedly coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, sir, it's like this." By building a cathedral, the island can be purified of the dead on a large scale. Set up a holy light array in the Holy See, enough to cover the entire island.

Second, in the church, you can draw the power of light and faith, and after setting up the Holy Light Array, you can easily detect evil creatures. It is convenient for us to prevent and clean up.

Third, the construction of churches can also strengthen our rule in the region. I think this island will be very prosperous in the future, right?

Both adults are strong believers and aspiring saints of light, who can keep their faith at any time and place, but ordinary people are different, they need a place where they can comfort their souls. A shepherd is needed to show them the way. ”

Claude's words are very level, and he also has a big slap on the back of the two, and he can really wear a bald head in a gold-edged red robe, and there is no simple character.

Although the lord is now surrounded by officers, those vulgar Qiu Ba are extremely clumsy when they pat their ass,

Over and over again, it is "handsome and wise, handsome and martial, and handsome will dominate the rivers and lakes for thousands of generations", which is far from the skillful old age of this cardinal. In the middle of raising his hand, he gave the two masters the hat of 'Bright Saint'.

The Holy Priest of Light, also known as the saint, is the most important title of the Holy See, not only to erect a statue on the Great Square of Light, engraved with deeds for believers to worship, but also to set up a separate page in the history books and write a biography, which will be remembered through the ages.

The Grand Duke looked at Lorraine, then coughed heavily, and said, "I see...... I think this building is good, you can have it. ”

One of Lord Luo's girlfriends is the Pope, and the dream of each generation of the Pope is to build churches all over the world, so that everyone can become believers, and collect protection money from the common people (in this respect, there is no essential difference between the Holy See and the High Priest of the Dead, which may be the characteristic of a dictator). )。

And when it comes to mission, Schillelia is more serious and persistent than other popes.

Lord Luo didn't want a fire in the backyard, so naturally he couldn't oppose it.

The Grand Duke looked sideways and looked around, and then said, "Then where is the right place to build this church?"

Claude thought for a moment, then pointed to the hill not far away, and said, "Where it is the highest, it will be cultivated." Condescending, unobstructed. And the higher the place, the larger the scope of surveillance. ”

When the Grand Duke heard this, he couldn't help but sigh softly: This cultivation is high, and the effect is great, and the cost is naturally large, and it is estimated that it will not come for more than 100,000 times.

Fortunately, I didn't pay out of my own pocket~!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little happy.

And Lorraine next to him couldn't help but be in a trance, remembering that in his time, those cathedrals in Europe seemed to be built tall and large, and the higher the geographical location, the better, did they also have this requirement?

He settled down, and then said: "Since you want to repair it, let's repair it a little bit, use reinforced concrete for building materials or something, and then build a lighthouse of more than ten or twenty meters, smoke during the day, and light a lamp at night, so that if a ship gets lost at sea, you can easily find the right direction." ”

Claude looked at Lorraine with a look of surprise, and sure enough, he was worthy of the concubine of His Majesty the Pope...... Bah, Bah, His Majesty's closest friend, this ass is about to be crooked on his bench.

I just sat on the ground and started the price, and I was waiting for the Grand Duke and the Lord to land and repay the money, but I didn't expect that Lord Lorraine was really generous, and the building materials had to be transported by ship from the rear, and the freight alone was estimated to be a frightening number.

He didn't know that Lord Lorraine had already prepared the bombing of the mountains and stones, and took local materials, and by the way, even the works of the port and the fort were counted, mixed into a bill, and sent to the Holy See.

The Holy See has always been stingy in the cost of building churches, even if there is no money now, as long as it is said to raise donations, some good men and women pay for it.

Claude immediately bowed deeply to the ground and said respectfully, "Lord Xie, Your Highness Xie." The light will always be with you. ”

At this time, the follow-up warships had already galloped up.

The warships immediately sounded their whistles to show their welcome.

And the Royal Ark of the Elven Kingdom did not show weakness, recruiting twenty trumpeters and blowing a loud horn at the same time.

With the arrival of the fleet, the sea suddenly became crowded, and due to the limited capacity of the island, many ships had to anchor outside the island.

In the harbor, a large number of soldiers disembarked from the ship and were sent directly into the mountains and forests to search.

More than a dozen war fortresses carried several cardinals hovering back and forth in the sky.

Many other soldiers were collecting the corpses of the dead and burying them in a large pit next to them, while the priests and priests stood on the edge of the pit, singing hymns loudly and pouring holy water on the corpses to transcend the unjust spirits.

Hundreds of engineers began to build trestles from the beach to the sea to facilitate the docking of ships in deep water to load and unload cargo......

The whole island was filled with noise.

Just when everyone was busy, several puffs of black smoke suddenly rose from the mountains and forests deep on the island, and they fled directly to the north.

The crowd couldn't help but be in an uproar, and then there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers. Apparently, it was the lichs hiding in the forest, and they saw that something was wrong, so they fled in advance.

Faintly, a shrill voice came: "Stupid humans, don't be too complacent, this is just the beginning~!"

Although the voice was not high, it was hoarse and unpleasant, and the hearts of the people couldn't help but sink like a heavy stone.
