Looking back at the history of the Middle Ages, religious wars have always run through it.
The most famous one is undoubtedly the Crusades, which lasted for nearly two hundred years and caused millions of deaths. There were nine Crusades in total, followed by the Thirty Years' War that swept across European countries.
As for the religious wars in the Arab world, they were even more frequent, starting in the seventh century and continuing into modern times.
When conflicts between different religions, or different sects of the same religion, are so great that they cannot be reconciled, one party may often seek to completely purify the other party physically.
With so many lessons learned from the past, Li Yu was not unprepared for the war that the Silver Moon Church was about to launch.
Otherwise, he would not have kept Miss Rabbit free, and even when the latter was hesitant to change her faith to Saturday, he would have persuaded her to hold on a little longer.
Even if you remain with the Silver Moon Church in name only, you can gain some valuable development time for the two-year break.
However, after slaying the dragon, the reputation of Li Yu and Shuangxiujiao experienced another surge. The Silver Moon Church should have further felt the crisis. Later, stimulated by Yin Leiya's announcement of converting to Saturday, they finally made up their minds to go to war with Shuangxiujiao.
.
Li Yu did not intend to let the female lord sway back to continue to buy time. Firstly, this would affect the reputation of Shuangxiujiao, and secondly, it would not be of much use.
The Silver Moon Church is not a fool. It already knows which side Yin Leya is on, and the reason why they chose to go to war is ultimately because the Shuangxiu Church has developed too fast.
And starting the war now is also the best time for Li Yu and Shuang Xiujiao.
The Church of Silver Moon has ruled the Western Region for so many years. If there is any weakness, it is that they have never had an armed force of their own.
Of course, this was also their own choice. In order not to make the major families in the West feel threatened, this decision allowed them to maintain good relations with the rulers of this land for thousands of years.
Moreover, the Silver Moon Church has been actively absorbing young talents from major families. As time goes by, the connection between the two parties becomes closer and closer. The Silver Moon Church can even influence the political and military decisions of major families to a certain extent.
This also gave them the illusion that they seemed to have thousands of troops under their control.
However, it turns out that influence is always just influence, and is different from actually having an army.
For example, now, Shuangxiujiao and the Arias family have a moral advantage. In addition, the two parties have once brought down an evil dragon together. The big guy and the female lord fought against David in Yanxue City. Most of them
None of the nobles wanted to offend the Arias family and Shuangxiujiao at this time, let alone fight against each other.
Li Yu deduced that the Silver Moon Church might have some thugs who specialized in doing dirty work in private, such as the black-armored cavalry he encountered last time, but the number should not be too large.
In addition, there may be some small noble families that are completely controlled by the Silver Moon Church, but they also do not have many soldiers and horses.
In other words, the Silver Moon Church cannot directly encircle and suppress the Shuangxiu Church by mobilizing the army. It can only mobilize the power of civilians, that is, directly instigate believers.
Therefore, in the early stages of the war, the two sides were actually competing for the position of public opinion.
This explains why the Silver Moon Church first made a fuss about the two monks from the Shuangxiu Church. Firstly, it was naturally to establish in the minds of nearby villagers the impression that the two monks from the Shuangxiu Church were bad people. Secondly, it also
Can create a sense of panic among other soldiers.
After all, two people have been killed, and the remaining people will definitely be beating their drums in their hearts when they go out, and may even not want to go to preach again because they are worried about their safety.
But Li Yu already has corresponding countermeasures.
The next morning he returned to Bratis again. When the dizziness subsided a little, Li Yu saw Miss Rabbit opposite.
The latter was biting his nails, looking a little anxious, but as soon as he appeared, the girl jumped up from the chair, rushed to him in a few steps, and without saying a word, stretched out her hands to cover his body.
After touching it all over and confirming that Li Yu was not missing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as you're okay, I was shocked when I first heard the news that you guys were attacked."
"How are the others?" Li Yu asked.
"Two soldiers from the Black Dog Guard died, one was disabled, and another was seriously injured. He is still suffering from a high fever and is delirious. Most of the remaining people are not seriously injured."
Li Yu nodded. The result was much better than he expected. It seemed that the new equipment and weapons still worked. After a pause, Li Yu asked again, "Have you given medicine to the seriously injured person?"
"Well, I asked the pharmacist in the territory to treat him. As for the magic medicine of Shuangxiujiao, Hera did not agree to take it out."
"Why?" Li Yu was a little surprised.
"Because the person who was seriously injured was not a person who had two days off from teaching."
A name flashed in Li Yu's mind and he raised his eyebrows, "Anton?"
"That's right."
"When I left, I remembered to tell Jerry to take care of him."
"Jerry is also at Teacup Castle now. He is very worried about your safety. I told him you would come back tonight, so he stayed. I'll have someone call him over. You can ask him directly."
When Tom saw Li Yu, he rubbed his eyes at first, and then almost wanted to do it.
Mainly because he watched those black-armored cavalry charge towards Li Yu with his own eyes. Although Li Yu used the creek at the bottom of the hillside to throw away the pursuers behind him, two legs could not outrun four legs.
In addition, those black-armored cavalry suddenly withdrew their troops midway and no longer came to trouble them, so it was obvious that they should have gained a lot.
But now Li Yu stood in front of him intact, and combined with Li Yu's explanation to him before leaving, the fifty fathoms faith column jumped up twice.
It took Tom a while to digest the shock that Li Yu brought to him. Then he thought of something and quickly handed over a cowhide bag he was holding.
Li Yu found his mobile phone and some other sundries inside, and then listened to Tom describe in detail what happened after he left.
Only then did I know that Anton ran to the other side and gave away his head.
But after thinking for a while, he still said, "Tell Hera to bring the anti-inflammatory medicine. No matter what, I will bring the person there."
Tom nodded, and then a look of worry appeared on his face, "The matter of those black armored cavalry has been spread now, and the monks are generally very worried. When they went to preach recently, they could clearly feel it.
The villagers were hostile to them.
"But we don't have enough manpower to provide protection for every monk. Based on the strength shown by those black-armored cavalry, we have to send at least two teams to compete with them.
"Well, I just happen to be planning to try a new way of preaching. The previous one was too slow." Li Yu said calmly.
