High Priest Martina's counterattack came quickly. The day after she entered the Lake City, she immediately released carrier pigeons to temples in various places.
First, she refuted Herodotus' accusations against her point by point, and then accused Herodotus of being the real murderer of High Priest Reeves.
Not only that, High Priest Martina also said that Herodotus had used despicable means to control the other high priests. In other words, almost the entire upper echelon of the church fell under his control.
The Church of Silver Moon has reached its most dangerous time in thousands of years, so High Priest Martina issued a call to all believers in the world, asking everyone to follow her to retake the church from Herodotus!
Afterwards, High Priest Martina sent envoys to all the major families in the West except the Arias family, urging them to fulfill the sacred covenant of their ancestors, and to become the sword and shield in the hands of the goddess when the church faced a crisis!
The Malir family in Lake City was the first to respond and expressed its willingness to lend 300 warriors to the high priest Martina, personally led by Dordot, the uncle of the family head Judith, to fight for the goddess.
The Scaled City side was not to be outdone. High Priest Kokoon presided over a seven-person meeting overnight. Although only four high priests attended the meeting, the decision to expel High Priest Martina from the Silver Moon Church was unanimously approved.
The very next day, the goddess Piscia also issued an oracle, asking the church to change its thousands of years of tradition, select the most loyal and brave believers, train them, form a guard, and protect the church, and appointed Herodotus as this person.
The commander-in-chief of the army.
Both sides were actively preparing for war, and the atmosphere in the Western Region suddenly became tense! Miss Rabbit looked confused.

After she announced her conversion to Saturday, she was already prepared to face the sanctions that would follow from the church, but she didn't expect that before the sanctions came, the Silver Moon Church actually started to be in chaos.
Yin Leya's mouth was so happy that she ate the melon, and then she immediately shared this happiness with Li Yu.
However, Li Yu is not so optimistic about this.
"Don't you often say that powerful enemies often disintegrate from within?"
The female lord said, "It seems that the split of the Silver Moon Church is inevitable now. This is also a good thing for us. In the future, Archpriest Martina and Herodotus will fight together and they will not be able to care about us.
"
"The Silver Moon Church has indeed split, but it has become more difficult to deal with." Li Yu said, "Especially Herodotus's side is likely to develop to extremes.
"And he also plans to form an armed force belonging to the church. You have also studied in the church before, how much do you know about him?"
"High Priest Herodotus?" the female lord thought for a moment, "He is a disciple of High Priest Reeves and the youngest of the seven high priests, and then... no, he seems to have been keeping a low profile.
Yeah, it seems like he hasn’t done anything big since he became the high priest.”
Adele on the side added, "Many people in the church feel that the reason why High Priest Herodotus was able to defeat many competitors to become High Priest was because of his teacher, High Priest Reeves."
"Um?"
"High Priest Reeves has an unusual obsession with power. After he became the high priest, he has been making allies and cultivating his own power. My teacher, High Priest Martina, doesn't like his approach.
"And the two of them have many differences on many issues... High Priest Reeves, in order to further strive for the initiative in the seven-person meeting, after the death of High Priest Sandantos, he sent his disciple
Herodotus was promoted to the position of high priest.
"Herodotus is also very obedient. After becoming the high priest, he still treats High Priest Reeves as a disciple and obeys his teacher. In addition, he is also very polite to several other high priests. I heard that he
People hardly spoke in meetings."
"So he is just a pawn of High Priest Reeves." Miss Rabbit said, "Why did he jump out uncharacteristically this time? Could it be that... High Priest Reeves really died at the hands of High Priest Martina?"
In his hand, Herodotus wants to avenge his teacher?"
"Teacher, she would never do such a thing." Adele said firmly, "She has always hated using violent means to solve problems."
"But this time she took the initiative to contact the lords of the Western Region and asked them to borrow troops."
"This is what I don't understand. Teacher, why did she shake her belief?" The former priest looked a little worried.
Although Adele has left the Silver Moon Church and joined the Shuangxiu Church, there are some things that cannot be let go, such as the teacher-student friendship with High Priest Martina.
Especially this time, there has been a drastic change in the Silver Moon Church, and High Priest Martina is at the center of this earthquake.
Li Yu suddenly interrupted at this time, "As far as I know, every high priest in the Silver Moon Church has a division of labor, right? What is the main responsibility of High Priest Herodotus?"
"He is the custodian and is responsible for the safekeeping of sacred objects and various books in the church."
"Sounds like a sinecure with little power."
"Indeed, being a custodian is not a prestigious position." Adele also admitted, "And the high priest Herodotus didn't make many friends in the church."
"Isn't he ambitious?"
"Some people think so, but my teacher doesn't think so, right." The former priest thought of something, "The teacher once evaluated Herodotus and said he was very dangerous."
"Dangerous? Why would a person who is responsible for the safekeeping of sacred objects and classics be in danger?" The female lord was also aroused curiosity.
"I don't know, the teacher didn't elaborate at the time." Adele shook her head.
Li Yu asked Yin Leiya again, "The news you received said that Herodotus led a raid on the residence of High Priest Martina, and then captured High Priest Hesiod. How many people did he bring with him at that time?
Where did those people come from?”
"The message didn't say it, but I can ask Ona to investigate. Why are you interested in this detail? If nothing else, it should be the young priests who were bewitched by Herodotus and got their heads in trouble, or the Herodotus flower.
You can hire mercenaries with money."
"Because High Priest Martina did not come home."
Li Yu took out a map of the Western Territory, pointed to a territory on it and said, "You told me that High Priest Martina is from the Beron family, right? She escaped from the Scaled City but did not return home."
"Teacher, she is worried about the pursuers behind her." Adele's heart tightened.
"And it's not an ordinary pursuit." Li Yu said, "No mercenary in the Western Region dares to pursue a high priest. As for sending a young priest to pursue him, Herodotus is probably not stupid enough."
"It's true when you say that, what on earth is High Priest Martina afraid of..." The female lord was suddenly startled mid-sentence, and then blurted out, "Black-armored cavalry, those black-armored cavalry!"
