Chapter Ninety-Four: This Chapter Seems to Be Serious
This is what we should do, and it is our duty and our right to eradicate those who are not faithful as God's agents on earth. Nassau's words made Andessa sneer in his heart?
Those who are not steadfast in their faith?
How many monarchs on the Roland continent today are still afraid of the Cross Church as they were hundreds of years ago? It is not the doctrine of the Cross Religion that makes people steadfast, but the power of the Cross Religion, and now that the power is gone, how many reverent elements of the doctrine remain?
If it is said that the faith is not strong, all the secular monarchs in the entire Roland continent should be the object of the church's judgment.
Andersa smiled and shook his head at Nassau's words: "Maybe what you said is very reasonable, but on the battlefield, we may not discuss this, and on the battlefield it is the sword that is more striking than the understanding of doctrine." If you want to discuss doctrine, perhaps I can have the chaplains here, they would be eager to hear from His Excellency Nassau. ”
Andessa didn't want to talk too much with Nassau.
Everyone understands what Nassau stands behind - the church. The Church, which had lost its former power, was now on the battlefield, and it was leading its own arms.
What does that mean?
The church is sending very dangerous signals. The knights within the HRE Empire have lost their loyalty to the church for hundreds of years, but what does Andessa see today?
Nassau led the Knights' armed men to the battlefield and helped the HRE Empire, repelling the Valuais army.
That's good, isn't it?
But is it really good in fact?
Andesa would rather have suffered his own losses in the battle during the day today than the church would intervene to help him.
The involvement of the Church in the war is an extremely sensitive matter, and no matter how fierce the fighting between countries is, the nature of the conflict between countries will change.
As a behemoth that once overrode the imperial power, although it has decayed, can the church's intervention in the war be considered that they want to make a comeback, regain supreme power, and empty the secular monarchy?
"Marshal Andessa, you seem to be a little resistant to the help of the church, right? The purpose of the church to help the HRE Empire this time is to maintain peace among all believers in the Roland Continent, God warns us that all believers should live in harmony, God loves his people, and cannibalism between believers is not what God wants to see. ”
Today they can attack the Valois army in the name of maintaining secular peace, so tomorrow does it mean that they can attack the HRE Empire for the same reason?
Moreover, it is not a good thing that the Knights, who originally did not obey the Church, are now being driven by the people of the Church, and the Church has gradually begun to withdraw its former power, and it is still without anyone knowing.
It's too sensitive, how will Nassau lead the church forces to help Andessa in the eyes of outsiders? Andessa and Nassau collude? Or rather, the HRE Kingdom colludes with the church?
In this way, the HRE Imperial Empire became the enemy of all secular nations. Become a lackey of the church in the eyes of all!
"Maybe so, but war is our mission, we are just soldiers, and it is the mission of soldiers to win the victory by all our means, and whether it violates the doctrine or not is not in our consideration. Andessa didn't want to talk to Nassau too much, so he was a little stiff in his words.
"Hmm. Marshal Andessa, we have a common appeal on this point. You'll need to repel the Valois army to keep the HRE Kingdom safe, and we'll need to punish Valua. Isn't it true that the world can join forces with the church?"
Nassau's words reveal a clear intention to cooperate.
Andessa pursed his lips secretly, dismissive of Nassau's intention to cooperate: "Yes, Nassau's crown." But it is not for me as a small soldier to decide about the world and the church, and I think it would be more appropriate for you to go to our capital and discuss matters with the emperor than to talk to me about these matters. ”
Everyone knows that the emperor of the HRE Kingdom is weak, and it is really difficult for the church to discuss and decide with the emperor of the HRE Emperor to affect the nobles within the HRE Empire.
Even Marshal Andesa was not a general loyal to the royal family, he was a great nobleman himself, and some of the armies he commanded came from his own private forces, while others were allied forces of nobles. Although the entire army is nominally the army of the HRE Empire, in fact the emperor of the HRE Empire has no right to mobilize this army for anything.
This is the sorrow of the emperor.
So when Nassau discussed with the emperor, could he have discussed anything substantial?
Nassau naturally understood Andessa's perfunctory meaning: "You are being too careful, the church only wants to maintain the friendship and harmony among the believers, and has no other meaning. ”
"That's right, so when the war is over, I will definitely go to the local church and pray for the Almighty to give believers a peaceful world. But not now. ”
"It is great that you have such a heart, but if you can show your devotion to God in war, it is a great good, and the blessing of obeying God's commandments is greater than the blessing of the Virgin Mary. ”
"Well, Nassau, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, and it is more important to be prepared than to talk about it. Please forgive me for my clumsiness in my mouth about God and faith, I really don't know how to express the sincerity and sincerity of my heart. Andessa paused, "No matter what kind of disaster, war, famine, earthquake, I think it's not God's arrangement?"
Andessa didn't dare to talk to Nassau in depth, and was ready to chase people away.
"No, it would be wrong to think that all disasters were arranged by God. God did not prepare calamity for us on earth, but only prepared eternal life for us in heaven. ”
Hearing Nassau's words, Andessa's body trembled.
After saying that, Nassau began to walk out, but when he reached the door, Nassau turned his head and smiled, saying, "We are only using sacred terms to disguise the selfish desires of our hearts, and we are not really hungry for your word."
If we truly desire your word, it is easy for us to know what is your voice and what is not. If we truly desire your word, we will be happy to think day and night on your word, not on the word of men. If we truly desire your word, we will use it as the only guide to prevent us from sinning against you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. In the name of the Lord, amen. ”
