Chapter 894 Qualifications to Save the World
Since there were soldiers from the First Army present in the church, he didn't touch on the origin of the Battle of God's Will, but simply told the history of transforming the Witch Empire into a church.
But these news alone were enough to make the High Priest startled. Every time the church's internal secrets were mentioned, Jacob's eyes would widen and become almost like lanterns in the end. He seemed to want to refute, but when the words came to his lips, there was only a hesitant voice. Obviously, some information was beyond the scope of his understanding, but they coincided with various rumors in the church.
Seeing the old priest's out of breath appearance, Roland paused for a while—it wasn't because he had nothing to say, but because he was worried that the other party would die of rage if he continued talking like this. There's nothing wrong with that, but he hasn't enjoyed it yet.
It wasn't until Jacob regained his breath that he continued, "It seems that your understanding of the nature of the church is only this, otherwise you shouldn't be so shocked, you obviously want to reprimand me for nonsense, but you find that there is no doubt about it before and after. The clues - I think everything about the battle between the devil and the gods has been handed down from the pope, so that this goal... or belief will not be forgotten. However, the power grabbers are inherently afraid of witches Let alone the last wish of the first pope, he dare not even mention the past four hundred years. He keeps claiming that he wants to fight for mankind, but how many believers in the holy city of Hermes know about this?"
"It's a pity that Graycastle is different...In Neverwinter in the west, this kind of news is not a secret. Every minister of mine knows the existence of devils, and the plan for the battle against God's will is also written into the policy outline—from Farmer As far as the blacksmith, all the people in the territory are fighting for it, and this is the biggest difference between me and you! It can be said that a few years ago, I was preparing to resist the end of mankind." Roland looked at the other party with great interest Iron-blue face, "Is the church the only savior of mankind? You guys think too highly of yourself. Regardless of whether I can defeat this powerful enemy, at least one thing is certain—"
He walked up to the old priest and said word by word, "The church can't even defeat me, so where does the faith come from that can save all mankind? Stop wishful thinking!"
"We..." Jacob's expression froze immediately, and then the blood faded quickly, and his face turned from green to white in an instant, as if thousands of words were not as lethal as this sentence - obviously he hadn't thought about such a problem , just turned a blind eye in the bottom of his heart like deceiving others, and now it was suddenly exposed, and his last sliver of persistence also collapsed.
The old priest slowly collapsed to the ground, no longer the solemnity and arrogance he had when he appeared on the stage.
"Take him back to the prison," Roland waved his hand, "it's useless to send him to the mine at this age, let him live well. When the red moon comes, let him see for himself how the people of Graycastle fight against the devil —Hopefully at that moment, he will remember how to confess to the gods."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldier forcibly lifted Jacob, and retreated with his arms between his arms.
"Also, you did a good job." Roland looked at Isabella, "If it weren't for you, the Holy City wouldn't restore order so quickly."
The latter rarely looked away, and said hastily, "You... don't mind at all? I issue an order in the name of the pope's deputy to unify those abandoned."
Regarding the practice of fabricating a new history and completely dividing the church into two, he has already learned from the reports of Edith, Eagle Face and Isabella herself, among which the Pearl of the North highly praised it, and believed that this It is not only hopeful that the old and new holy cities will be brought under the jurisdiction of Graycastle, but also fully absorb the influence accumulated by the church for hundreds of years. Even if the gang of fugitives set up their own stoves, facing Roland who actually controlled Hermes, even if it was true, it would be false.
Roland considered it more realistically. This plateau is located in the middle of the Impassable Mountain Range, opposite the Great Gap, and it is a strategic location that must be defended in the Battle of Divine Will. Originally attacking Hermes had the intention of replacing it. Now that the original human resources can be utilized to save the next part of the expenses, it is naturally a good thing.
"If it turns out it works, why should I care?" He smiled. "But even so, the sentence is not exempt."
"I never thought about that..." Isabella said hastily.
"Of course, you can't do without any rewards." He waved his hand. "If you need to come forward as an agent in the future, you can enjoy the treatment commensurate with your status on that day, how about it?"
"The agent's... treatment?"
"In layman's terms, it should be regarded as the imperial prime minister or the hand of the king." Roland smiled. "Of course it doesn't include duties and powers, it's just food, lodging and transportation. For example, spacious luxury suites, delicious food provided by royal chefs, and There are all-you-can-drink Chaos Drinks, etc. If you don’t want these, you can also exchange them for Golden Dragon rewards—”
"No, Your Majesty," Isabella shook her head, "the first one is fine...I mean, please do as you want."
"Well, then it's decided." He said happily.
...
As the main force of the First Army joined the search operation, the details of this strange city were presented to Roland little by little.
He was surprised to find that what the old priest said was not an exaggeration. Except for the collapsed Hermes Cathedral, the other buildings were basically intact, and the broken part of the city wall had been repaired. The trebuchets are also preserved.
The large number of madness pills mentioned by Isabella were also quietly stored in the underground secret cellar, and the final count was more than 420,000. Thinking that Zero had planned to use millions of berserkers to fight the devil to the death, Roland was glad that she hadn't taken this step.
After counting the quantity, a fire broke out on the ten thousand-foot city wall, burning the pills to the ground, and the remaining residues were pushed down the wall and solidified with the permafrost. The issue of military proliferation has finally come to an end.
But the results in the search report were far more than that.
For example food.
Such as weapons.
New supplies are discovered every day, and their quantity is enough to arm several Royal Knights. It's no wonder that the Lord of Dawn, Ampein Moya, and his vassals couldn't hold back, and ran over thousands of miles to rob. Roland found that, except for the golden dragon and jewels, the top leaders of the church did not take any strategic materials when they collectively evacuated. This also confirmed the statement that they would not come back during this trip from another aspect - this is simply dividing the family property to live a happy life go.
The behemoth entrenched in the northwest of Graycastle has finally disappeared and the dust has settled.
Roland was also at leisure, and what he had to do afterwards was to wait for the iron ax to clear the eastern border, lead the army to gather at the border of neighboring countries, cooperate with the main force to launch a two-sided offensive, and attack the Dawn Kingdom together.
Since it is rare to have time to relax, he plans to take a good look at this territory that has been operated by the church for hundreds of years—after all, the holy city of Hermes is not complete in the memory fragments.
And the place he wants to go the most is undoubtedly the land of illusions mentioned by Isabella - the Church of Reflection. It was through the replay of the phantom that the legendary queen of meteorites, Acaris, realized the inheritance of faith that spanned a hundred years; it was also there that Zero completed the transformation from the pure to the pope.
