Chapter 2588: A Big Fight

Although Duran wanted to deconstruct the doctrine of the King's Court, if he wanted everyone to understand the scriptures themselves and not listen to the priest, the first prerequisite was that everyone had to be literate, and the scriptures must be written in their own language.

Generally speaking, different countries have different languages. If the scriptures are written in foreign languages, it will lead to the high-level officials being proud of learning foreign languages ​​and ashamed of their own languages. When on Earth, there was a period of time when a movement was launched for various countries to translate scriptures, translating Latin into their own languages, and then nationalism emerged.

In the world of Berserk, there is no such problem. Everyone speaks the same language, even the Kusha Empire, the biggest enemy of the Kingdom of Midland, speaks the same language. Although they believe in different gods, there is no problem in communication, and there is no problem in translating scriptures.

Therefore, as long as the literacy rate of the people is improved, it is easy for them to learn the content of the scriptures at home.

There is also the issue of land. To collect all the land of the great nobles and the King's Office, we must first win over the small nobles and reserve talents. This might have taken ten or even twenty years. Even a powerful lord could not accomplish it overnight, let alone a leader like the earl's daughter who had no foundation and no support.

However, Griffith would be out in a year or two, and there was not so much time, so Duran also made some moves to improve the princess's charm.

Let the princess's beauty be sought after, let the princess's voice become an irresistible command, and establish the princess's prestige at the fastest speed and in the most brutal way. It was very effective. After the charm value was improved, the young people around her could not help but unite around the princess and obey the princess's reform orders.

The princess formed her own team and army within a month. This team included small nobles, civilians, foreigners, etc., and there were a large number of commoners and bastards who accepted the call in the army. Then she held high the banner of "justification by faith", and the purpose of equality for all and implementation of doctrine, and began the road to change.

This small earldom country suddenly showed a strong fighting power, and all the problems that the earl had not solved before were solved by the princess.

Refugees who heard that there were fields and food to eat here came to seek refuge. The princess gave them land to reclaim, and the refugees settled down and accepted the princess's leadership.

The French court was furious because the princess not only confiscated the land belonging to the French court, but also ignored the fact that priests did not have to pay taxes, which greatly undermined the prestige of the French court. She also launched the banner of "justification by faith, equality for all", encouraging believers not to pay money or taxes, and not to give face to priests.

What is intolerable? Suddenly, the French court's Punishment Knights were eager to try, ready to take action against the princess.

The French court issued a wide range of proclamations and prepared a large army. The Holy Iron Chain Knights also received orders from the French court. They were originally on a mission to hunt down the black swordsman, and they were about to catch up. Unexpectedly, the French court asked them to turn around and participate in the holy war to fight heresy.

The leader of this knight group is a blonde lady. She became the leader because her family is rich, so this knight group was established with money from her family and is registered in the French court.

The leader is the eldest lady of the family, and the left and right deputies are both retainers of the family. This knight group obeys the orders of the eldest lady first, not the French court.

"This Dilicia is not a simple person. She is younger than the eldest lady, and the things she did are too big." Now the Holy Iron Chain Knights are setting up camp, and the two retainers are discussing together.

One of the two retainers is a sturdy knight with a big belly, and the other is a squinty swordsman wearing leather armor. Both of them are smarter and more insightful than the eldest lady, so they know very well that the earl's daughter has really broken the sky.

"The French court is making such a big move. If it loses, then this princess will become hope." Squinty analyzed coldly. As a young man, he can also see that the world cannot continue like this. But whether it is the French court or the Mitlan royal family, they can't come up with new things. It was this princess who really proposed new ideas and new paths, freeing the people from theocracy and the nobility.

Both of them were smart people. Although they made a living under the nobles and the King of Law, they also saw through the upper limit of religion and nobility. The King of Law hated the princess for proposing these things, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was an unprecedented road.

"You can't tell this to the eldest lady." The solid knight said, "You can't let the people in the King of Law know. Although this princess is very powerful, the King of Law has a large number of knights and the support of the Mitlan royal family. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to admit defeat. There will be a fierce battle. It just happened to be at this time..." Because at this time, the enemy of the Kingdom of Mitlan, the Kusha Empire, was also eyeing and preparing to invade. In addition, the king was aging, and there was no leader. It was really a mess.

Just as they were discussing, a scout reported: "There is a discovery."

"Did you find the black swordsman?"

"No, I found a big sword." The scout said.

"Big sword?" The young lady was also very curious when she heard about the big sword: "Let's go and take a look."

In the forest, a big sword was riding a horse leisurely, as if inspecting his territory.

The young lady rode up quickly and looked at the unique big sword girl with great curiosity. The two big swords on her back alone were enough to surprise the young lady.

"Hey, stop." The young lady was a noble, but very rude.

The great sword pulled the reins and turned to look at the young lady and the others. His eyes were as calm as water, and he kept people away from him.

"What's that look?" The young lady was unhappy.

"Young lady, please don't be like that." The narrowed eyes showed that the young lady had a bad temper since she was a child, was willful, and disobedient. I didn't expect that she would still be like this at this time.

"What's the matter with you?" The great sword said lightly, as if he couldn't cheer up at all and didn't take the other party seriously at all.

"I heard that you great swords divided the country of Mitland into several areas, and sent a great sword to patrol each area. Do you regard this country as your own territory? Why are you so arrogant?" The young lady asked.

The great sword was too lazy to answer such a boring question. These people in the French court would not believe in the existence of the netherworld and demons.

"You bastard, why don't you answer?" The young lady was very unhappy because she was ignored.

The great sword walked forward directly, because she still had to investigate the case of missing children. Although she walked slowly, she actually had a mission.

The eldest lady was furious, so she immediately led people to chase after him, but there was a fork in the road in the woods and they lost him.

At this time, Guts was also investigating the case of missing children. His brand was aching slightly, indicating that it was related to the devil again.

But by the time Guts had investigated it clearly, the great sword had already arrived at the apostle's nest.

Guts came to a remote village where everyone was a farmer, and the children born were also farmers. Regardless of whether they were boys or girls, they had to work in the fields since they were young.

Guts found a girl who seemed to know something. This girl hated the village and couldn't escape, so she fantasized all day long. She had a friend who disappeared two years ago and was also a rebellious girl.

Guts was chatting with the girl to collect information, and suddenly a group of flying "elves" attacked from outside the village. It seems that Guts's brand has attracted monsters again. But this time there are too many. The size of the enemy is indeed the same as that of the elves, but they are in groups, densely packed, and eat meat. Wherever they pass, it's like a locust crossing. Cows, sheep, and people will be gnawed into skeletons by them.

Guts could only swing his sword and swat them, as if he were swatting flies, but no matter how many he killed, the enemies still kept coming.
