Chapter 0290 - Negotiation Deal: Double-edged Sword Forged

Unarming the church will be a double-edged sword.

But even without letting go of the church arms, they have already armed themselves.

The Friars who rescued Dick and Kevon are the Holy Shield in Sons of Warriors.

The Shield monks were a gang of beggars, and the monks were mainly penances, helping ordinary people to name names, officiating at weddings, blessing children, healing the poor, and protecting merchants and travelers on their roads, escorting them to a certain place without compensation.

Anyone who needs help and finds them, they will selflessly help. It doesn't matter if you're a beggar or a blacksmith, a farmer or a hunter.

The armament of the sons of warriors, the elite is the holy sword legion composed of knights, there are war horses, armor and long swords, but the real most powerful is the holy shield composed of civilian monks: there are too many people, they are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of hardship, they have a very high reputation among the people, they are well-informed, and the poorer they are, the more they support them.

And in the Seven Kingdoms, the poor are the majority, and the nobles and knights are the minority after all.

But for the Templar Church to have its own armament, it needs a legal legitimacy.

In the church propagandized by Baylor, which built the Great Church of Baylor, prayer to God is the only weapon of the church. For more than 100 years, the unarmed Church has been the consensus of all forces. Unarmed, the Church of the Seven Gods received the unwavering support of the royal family and aristocratic forces.

The current Stannis I did not say that he did not support the Church of the Seven, but after seeing the power of the Red Robe Melisandre, after seeing with his own eyes a fire that destroyed the elite army of the West, and after learning that Tywin Lannister was killed by the Shadow, he also supported the faith of the Red God Cult of the Red God: allowing her to build the Red Temple and the Red God's Square.

This is a sore spot for the Church of the Seven.

They feel an existential crisis.

Once Stannis I strongly supports the Red God Cult, their status as the state religion of the Church of the Seven will be in jeopardy - in fact, the danger is already in danger - once the Red Temple in the Red Keep is successfully built, the Red God Square is successfully built, the faithful will become more and more people to believe in the Red God's Feet, the Lord of Light, Rahlo.

This is something that the Church of the Seven Gods absolutely cannot accept.

They need to be armed with the church—they must stand up when God can't intervene in evil.

Dick Vishui didn't know the name of the archbishop, because once he became a monk, he had nothing to do with his earthly self. The archbishop is the Son of God, and the worldly name and surname have disappeared.

The faithful call him the archbishop only by a certain characteristic of the bishop - no one knows his secular name, and he has no name - there is a problem with this, when the archbishops from generation to generation are written into the canon of bishops, I can only rack my brains to refer to him with a certain characteristic, which is the distress of not having a name.

In history, there is the title of Archbishop of Stone, there is the saying of Archbishop of Fat Man, Archbishop of Stone was a stonemason before he became a monk, his name disappeared after he became a monk, and after he became an archbishop, he was a son of God, and no one will know his original name anymore.

Dick Viysan feared that the Church would overwhelm the royal family in the future, as had happened in history, and that both the king and queen had been arrested and tried by the Church forces – but he did not hesitate to agree.

"Then, my lord, we need to get the King's decree from Joffrey I. The obese archbishop said.

With this legal recognition, they formed the sons of warriors, and in the future Stannis I was overthrown, Joffrey I returned to King's Landing, and if the royal family wanted to disband them when they were strong, they would be able to come up with a king's edict to counter them.

In all things, there must first be a legal justification.

Dick Vishui said, "Archbishop, I will receive the King's decree from Joffrey I and deliver it to you in twenty days. ”

"The sooner the better!" said the archbishop.

"The Knight's Sword Armament, you can form it now, and you don't have to wait for the king's decree to arrive, because it will take time to travel back and forth from the western realm. ”

"We know. The archbishop, with a warrior's sword around his neck, said, "I hope that your lord will leave at once to send our loyal blessings to King Joffrey, and that the Seven Gods will protect Joffrey I." ”

Dick Weishui didn't move, the Church of the Seven got what they wanted, and the Westside still had what they wanted.

"Archbishop, we want the Church to be exempt from the royal family's arrears. Dick Wick said.

The royal family owes more than a million gold dragons, and when Joffrey I returns to King's Landing Red Keep, the church has the right to ask him for money.

The Seven Archbishops exchanged glances, and Dick Vishui could see that the seven were not in agreement.

"I can wait!' said Dick Viywater.

So, the seven archbishops went into a prayer room for a meeting, and after a while, the seven archbishops left one by one, leaving only the fat archbishop, who smiled at Dick Vishui: "We agreed to your request, and the church will forgive the royal family of more than one million gold coins in arrears. But when King Joffrey returns to King's Landing and ascends to the Iron Throne, he is not to issue another royal decree to dismiss our warrior sons. The Church has the right to keep its own armament in perpetuity - the sons of warriors. ”

That's an overly high demand. Perhaps the original intention of the church was to take this opportunity to seek greater power. There is a terrible thing about the sons of warriors, that is, they fight without fear and are not afraid of death. The weakness is that in addition to the Holy Sword Armament, the Light Infantry Holy Shield Armament lacks systematic military training, and the combat level of the army is limited, and it does not understand the battle formation, coordination and formation, which is comparable to the combat level of the barbarian tribes in the mountains and forests.

"I will convey the Archbishop's conditions to King Joffrey. Dick Wick said.

"If King Joffrey doesn't agree, King Lanley's army is not far from King's Landing. The archbishop's words were threatening.

"I think King Joffrey will agree, but I am only an emissary of Duke Kevon, and I have no right to make royal decisions. ”

"Hopefully, within a month, we can reach a mutually satisfactory consensus. Archbishop said with a smile.

Dick Vishui felt slightly uneasy in his heart, the other bishops were gone, that is, there was no hint that any changes would be made, and the conditions of the archbishop had to be agreed.

I'm afraid that after the church is released, this is to release a tiger to return to the mountains and forests, and after Joffrey I returns to King's Landing and sits on the Iron Throne, he will not be able to compete with the power of the church.

But now the Westside has no choice.

After the Church overthrew Stannis I, they were reluctant to set up the Blue Rites, why? They chose to cooperate with Joffrey, who had just been defeated, and why? The Duke of the Blue Rites had an army of 100,000 troops, which was five times the current total strength of the Western Frontier.

Maybe it's easier to deal with a child than with an adult. Perhaps, the archbishop of the church was aware of the uncleanness of the Rite, but, in the same way, there were rumors that Joffrey was born of incest, and it is impossible for the archbishop not to be unaware of these rumors. Moreover, Cersei's incest, in the court trial, has been convicted by Eddard Stark.

There's a cat in it - Dick Weishui doesn't know exactly what a cat is - but there must be a cat greasy!

"As you wish, Archbishop, take your leave!" Dick Viysan pulled on his hood and walked briskly out of the sanctuary.
