Gongkou is located in the frontier, the ethnic group is complex, and the people are fierce. Most of them are not convinced by education, which means that everyone often picks up guys and engages in an anti-tax and anti-donation movement or something.

The local nobles were also unwilling to hand over the power in their hands, and they were also secretly making moves below.

At the same time, the barbarian tribes such as the beast tribes in the south are also constantly knocking on the border and invading, although those hooligans do not know a single word, they do not know that there is a howling brick family who wrote the "clash of civilizations" to make a sufficient theoretical basis for the war of aggression for Bu Ge.

But the high priests of their tribe robbed them of their jobs. The papal see's staff, who engage in vicious competition, are also extremely disgusted.

Under their influence and brainwashing, the cubs of various barbarian tribes are all extremely fierce. As long as he saw those guys in Holy See clothes, without saying a word, he directly copied the knife and took off the scoop

Due to the above reasons, the Holy See has not been able to get much oil and water here, and everyone is still in danger of losing their lives, so the Father's Church in the province of Upper Naian has not been developed. It has always been a subordinate subdivision of the Episcopal Diocese of the Eastern Province.

And the highest position of the temple here is the tall and strong bishop of the partition in front of him, and the chief priest of Silas uses the rank to divide, and he is at most a department-level cadre. is several levels lower than Lord Lorraine, if it weren't for the face of the Holy See, Lord Luo would hardly belong to greeting him.

That is to say, the church organization of Naian is also managed by the archbishop who lives on the territory of Grand Duke Julia, but in fact, despite the fact that Naian is connected to the eastern provinces by land, the independence of the local church in Naian is still very large.

Because the archbishop in the city of Constantinople, who always dreamed of the cardinal's hat, could not remember the place of Naian, the southeastern corner of the empire, except for the time when he collected the money every year.

In the previous paragraph, Catherine cleaned up the Archbishop of Constantinople, and even the local church in Neyan was in awe of Lorraine and Catherine. Their colleagues in Constantinburg. I'm still nibbling on potatoes

They don't want to end up like that, when Lorraine arrived in Naian, they had already shown their loyalty to Lorraine, don't look at us as a group of old fools, if you have milk, you are a mother, but under the leadership of your lord, we must be obedient.

Chief Priest Silas was very knowledgeable and a good man. There is no arrogance of the father and God boss and his second child, who trembles like twenty-five or eighty-thousand, which is the temper of Lorraine, who wants to scratch twice when he sees the priest, and he can't say that he hates him.

At this time, hearing his news, Lorraine and Adele glanced at each other, and both of them were surprised. Why is there a bishop here at this time?

Lorraine pondered the implications of this in her mind.

If the diocese is promoted to a bishopric, there will naturally be a bishop in Naian, and the size of the temple will be expanded several times.

However, the temple does not need to be financed by Lorraine himself. They are not as coaxing as the church in Luo Mo's previous life, and they can collect eleven taxes from the common people. Even the king had to look at their faces.

Don't look at the Knights of the Templar. But if they dare to stretch their hands to dominion, the Pope will surely be called by God.

The temple of Naian lives on the temple's own land and donations from the congregation, as well as the red envelopes that are invited to do the deeds, but they are returned to the priests themselves.

It's just that every year it's Father's Day, and Lorraine has to have some blood, which just means something.

The disadvantage is that in the future, there will be a person who chirps crookedly all day long, and the bishop is also a big man no matter what he says. Lorraine was also able to treat each other obediently. Just a little more of the unsightly priests on the streets.

The advantage is that after the establishment of the bishopric. The strength of the church on the side will definitely be strengthened. This strengthened Lorraine's control over remote areas. It's still helpful, after all, once the place is in trouble. The first thing these pastors think of is the government of Nai'an.

After thinking about it, Lorraine said that it had little impact. At most, hide from it later.

Lorraine smiled reluctantly and said, "Then I'm going to congratulate Priest Silas, when will I be promoted? ”

Silas smiled and said: "My lord misunderstood, I have only been in the church for a few years, and my qualifications are not enough to be promoted to bishop, and the chief priests have already been rewarded to me by the grace of the above." If you really sit on it, you will be slapped with black bricks from behind. ”

Seeing that Silas was being honest, Lorraine and Adele laughed.

Silas continued, "Don't hide it. I will be transferred to the Holy See Headquarters to be my teacher, Bishop Enfield, to be secretary, and our Bishop of the Diocese of Nyan will be appointed directly by the Headquarters. ”

Although the bishop's peach was plucked by someone else, the chief priest of Silas was able to leave this. The common people are all poor and poor, and they can't get oil and water. Therefore, it looks very happy.

Lorraine said, "Then congratulations to Chief Priest Silas for his rise in the Holy See headquarters." Did the new bishop confirm it?" "I don't know. Silas shrugged, "When I heard from the teacher, I said that they seemed to be still discussing. You also know "

Silas said, gesturing to the ceiling. motioned to the Holy See headquarters, then spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Our Holy See is also an organization, just some uncles who only eat and don't work. So, that's it, sir, you don't have to worry about the new Episcopal Church getting you in trouble. ”

When Lorraine heard this, she couldn't help but show a faint sneer on her face, and said secretly in her heart: "Dare to give."

Silas looked at Lorraine's face and understood. He hurriedly continued: "Of course. If he really dares to look for him, with your wrist, you can't clean him up. When the time comes, don't be ruthless, don't save my face."

Lorraine froze, looking at Silas' red flutter. With a big oily face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It is only now that this chief priest of Silas is a wonderful person.

Lorraine said with some regret: "It's a pity that the chief priest of Silas is leaving, and we haven't had a good time together." ”

Silas smiled heartily and said, "Lord Governor, the official order will have to wait a few days, and I will have to stay in Nedel City until the Bishop arrives. What we have is time. ”

"Very well," said Lorraine, cheerfully, "I'll have a treat in two days, Silas, you must come." ”

"Do I dare not come at the invitation of the Governor?" Silas said happily when he knew that the conversation was over.

After the chief priest of Silas left, Lorraine propped his elbow on the table, held his head, and said to Adele: "Ascend to the diocese, interesting, haven't the Holy See been very tight on the following organization, when have they been so generous?"

Adele shrugged her shoulders, put her feet on Lorraine again, shrunk back into her chair like a cat, and said to herself as sourly, "But maybe some saint will come with the bishop." Does the family feel that the bed is not wide enough? Let's say okay first, don't lead that false prodigal hoof into our house. ”

Lorraine reached out and grabbed Adele's ankle. The other hand scratched the soles of Adele's feet, and Adele, who couldn't stand the itch, giggled and kicked Lorraine with the other foot.

Jiao gasped and said, "Hmph, if you ignore it, you will bully people."

Lorraine hung the corners of his mouth, posing as the brightest of a low-level joint hooligan, and said with a smile: Niu, I will still bully you, you have the ability to call it. ”

Adele held her chest with both hands, put on a pitiful look, and said delicately: "I'm so scared." ”

Just as Lorraine was playing the game of leading the female secretary, there was an inopportune knock on the door.

Adele hurriedly pushed Lorraine away, took a sip of Lorraine, straightened her clothes, twisted Lorraine twice, and said angrily: "Look at your death." Then he fled into the lounge inside, and made a cute face at Lorraine before closing the door.

Lorraine rubbed her fingers, which were still fragrant, and said loudly after straightening her clothes, "Come in." ”

The secret himself disturbed the Governor's Yaxing, and the Governor of Lorraine hated it so much.

"Your Excellency, General Larry and the city lord of Chromy, Nostako, have urgent matters to see. "Secret.

Lorraine secretly said in his heart: It seems that there is an accident at the border again, and the orcs have come in?

Cronie City is the southernmost city in Nyan. It had always been a forward base against orc attacks, and a cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade of the Neyan Legion were stationed there.

The Lord of the Labor City came to see the governor in person, and it seems that it is not an ordinary orc attack.

The army of Nai Ann province was divided into two parts. One is the Nai Wai Local Legion, which is a standing army of 5,000 men, divided into five brigades stationed in different places, one brigade is deployed at the Northern Avenue checkpoint, and the other brigade is in Naidel City. The remaining three brigades were all deployed on the southern front, Shi Xuan was on guard against the orcs who crossed the border, and the deployment positions of the five brigades were also rotated from time to time, and each soldier had experience in fighting with the orcs.

The mission list of the Naian Regiment was also under the direct command of General Larry, and they usually had little contact with the local area, and the magistrate could not mobilize this army. If there is a fight, it is at the order of General Larry or at the discretion of the captains.

The other part is the city defense army of various city gangsters. It is generally decided by the governor and the lord of the city, who obey the orders of the lord of the city, and as long as they can afford it, they are not afraid of a large number of people.

These city defenses were also regular armies, and were counted in the establishment, and both the Governor of Lorraine and General Larry had full authority to command them.

Lorraine could mobilize these troops as soon as the Ne Legion was running out of troops, or had other tasks. Counting these city defense troops, there are more than 20,000 people. Because these people are in charge of regional defense, there are not many mobile forces that can be mobilized.

The officers who were brought together by Lorraine were all from the city defense army, and the officers who had been arrested for the slave trade. They are also people from various city defense forces, they manage the local checkpoint passages, and they usually have a lot of oil and water.

In addition, there are officers and soldiers of the guard station, which are similar to the police. and local militias and so on, these paramilitary forces.

In border battles like dozens or hundreds of people, the local city defense army usually goes first, and after receiving the news, the Naian army will rush to support. If you encounter a raid on the scale of hundreds of orcs. If the local garrison can't deal with it, several brigades of the Naian Regiment will act together, and General Larry will also command and sit at the front.

It is equivalent to saying that the city defense army is an outpost, and the Naian regiment is the main mobile force deployed behind the battle line.

General Larry and the Norsdaco City Lord, who was about fifty years old and a gray-headed veteran, walked into the office of Lorraine. Dressed in a military uniform, he is not tall and has a strong body.

Lorraine stood up to greet them, saw that the two of them wanted to salute, waved his hand and said, "No excuses, it seems that things are not for you to sit warm" and motioned for them to sit opposite him.

The city lord of Nosdako bowed and said, "Yes, my lord." The stakes are urgent, and I don't dare to make a decision. So I'm going to report back to you. ”

"Tell me what's going on. ”

The city lord of Norstaco said: "In the past, at this time of year, several large-scale half-orc tribes living near the border would discuss with us the problem of assisting in defense in autumn and winter.

These people are actually here to ask for benefits, but they are of some use to us, and I have distributed some food and metals to them, as is customary in previous years. In the previous paragraph, I wrote a report to you, Your Excellency Governor, on this matter. ”

In the steppes south of Naian, there are thousands of large orc tribes, and no one has ever unified that place, and these tribes have always been killing each other, and every year on the grassland, tribes are exterminated, and new tribes are born.

The orcs living on the border of Naian, just like those nomadic tribes living on the border of China in ancient times, there are always some who have taken refuge in the Central Plains Dynasty.

Some tribes that lost the war, or some tribes who were afraid of being exterminated, generally chose to move to a place close to the border with Naian, and took refuge with the Naians.

They were unwilling to enter Naian and become a member of the Ruman Empire, and they were subject to the laws of the empire and entered Naan Province, and those who received dozens of wives and a hundred and ten slaves could not live a good life. They are willing to live near the border, as a border barrier in Naian.

Gradually, their habits began to be like those of the Naians, cultivating the land, using the Ruman Empire's script, and dealing with the Naians, and these orc tribes on the border were also deeply affected by the "autumn hunt" every year. The orcs from the south will rob them first every year.

These half-orcs who took refuge in them are not stupid, since they have worked hard for the Naian people, they naturally reach out to the Naian people every year to collect things.

And in order to make these half-orcs feel at ease as shields, the Naian people are not stingy with the walnuts and dates, but this kind of half-orcs are also very cunning, "It is a matter of their own lives, of course, they can fight if they can beat it." After the fight, I took my head and went to Neyan to change money. Of course, if you can't beat it, you can cover it with a roll, drill into the mountain, and disappear without a trace.

The people on the border scolded these orcs for being unfed dogs, and these people had a big problem with sneaking, and often covered their faces. Cameo as a robber.

The relationship between these orcs and Neyan is just to use each other.

Lorraine nodded and said, "I know." Didn't I approve it?"

The city lord of Norstaco nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, originally I thought that this would be fine, but I didn't think that ten days ago, suddenly another one of them moved to the border, all of them were named Abendam, and there were more than 10,000 people in the whole landing, and they are currently staying about a hundred miles away from the border. ”

Lorraine chuckled in his heart, and said secretly: The situation is strict.

A half-orc tribe of more than 10,000 people stayed at the border. According to the half-orcs approach of all the people are soldiers. This tribe called Abendan can gather at least one of the four thousand brothers to run out and cut people and grab territory, which is a huge threat to the safety of Naian.

Lorraine frowned, his face darkened, and said, "It happened ten days ago, why did you only report it now? If they make a move, I won't be able to transfer troops now." ”

When the Shaolin abbot of the post-80s generation appeared, the three brigades in the south immediately rushed to the border to prepare for battle. The southern cities were also on alert

The city lord of Norstaco nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, my lord, I was about to ask you for help, but on the day I received the news, they, oh, even the Abendan tribe sent an envoy to find me at the same time. They want to take refuge in us!"

If the city lord of Norstaco said that these orcs wanted to blackmail, it would not be surprising to threaten Lorraine the Nean with force, after all, it was born in history. But the Norsdaco City Lord's words, "They want to join us!" startled Lorraine.

For orcs, a tribe of five or six hundred people is normal, and there are thousands of people who can be called their own big tribe, and a tribe of more than 10,000 people. Although Lorraine and the people of the Ruman Empire did not know much about the affairs of the steppe, they also knew that one hand could be counted in absolute terms.

The tribe of 10,000 people is already a hegemon on the grassland, and they can live a nourishing life anywhere, how could they suddenly say that they want to take refuge in the Naian people.

The tribes that have taken refuge on the borders of Nai'an. At most, there are only one or two thousand people, and there are no more than five thousand, and suddenly a half-orc tribe of 10,000 people appeared on the border, which has a huge impact on the situation in this Naian.

Adele, who had been in the lounge, had returned to normal at this time, and when she heard the Norstaxo City Lord say this, she immediately opened the door and walked out.

As soon as General Larry and the Lord of Norstaco saw Adele come out, they quickly stood up and bowed to Adele. said: "Sister Adele is good

Adele also bowed back and said, "Hello."

Lorraine waved her hand and said, "Sit down." Dale came to me. Master Norstako, go on. ”

The lord of Norstaco said, "My lord, that's what I mean when I say that I take refuge, and those Abendan himself say that they want to make an alliance with us. Become an ally. I feared deception, so I locked them all up and watched them for two days.

The whole fall has not moved, and the orcs who have come to negotiate with our people have been living in peace. I guess they really wanted to take refuge in us, so they hurried up and ran on the road for a few days in a row to report to you that they had all their umbrellas
