As the third most important figure in Trolian and the Archbishop of the Holy Church, he has not smiled like this for a long time.
Ever since the structure of the Holy Fire Source showed signs of collapse, dark clouds have always hung over his head, and the heavy pressure made it impossible for him to laugh.
But now, from the moment he opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Everyone felt that their archbishop, who was like a dead wood, had sprouted and ushered in a second spring.
And all this is because of Rhodes.
The victory of Fanxing Town completely proved that expansion is feasible and sustainable. The expedition team led by Rhodes, with minimal effort, achieved gains that no one could have imagined.
The initial expenditure of the royal city was only a battle group of 100 people and material supplies for 100 people.
Super large true silver veins, extremely precious solar crystal mines, a piece of extremely fertile land after purification, and a larger living space. Any of these gains exceeds the total expenditure by countless times.
The true silver veins have greatly enriched the royal city's supplies, and many warriors have been able to wear armor and weapons containing true silver.
The Sun Crystal Mine has even alleviated the huge gap in the royal city. Every day, more than 30 people are able to hold psychic power upgrade ceremonies because of the Sun Crystal Mine mined in Fanxing Town. They are no longer unable to continue practicing psychic powers because they cannot improve their psychic power level.
.
Thirty people may not seem like many, but within a year there are more than a thousand people.
This increase in combat power cannot be underestimated.
And food is the cornerstone of everything.
Many lands are not suitable for planting even after purification. The life breath of the holy white tree can only be effective in more fertile land.
Trorian's current food production is actually no longer enough to support the population's consumption, and it is only supported by previous stocks.
Not only can crops be grown in Guiling Lake, but also clams can be cultured in the lake. The food output is expected to be extraordinary.
But the new living space is their most important gain.
The Royal City is too overcrowded, and too much filth and sin breed in the overcrowded slums. The extremely harsh living conditions have made this place a hotbed of doomsday cults, and chaos has plagued everyone in the Royal City.
Since the ignition of Fanxing Town, a large number of poor people have been taken in and new jobs have been found for them.
With their income, they not only have food, water, and houses, but also dignity.
The pastors of Fanxing Town described this in their report to the Holy Church:
"...Everyone has regained their belief in fire. They get rewards and happiness from the labor of their hands, and know that every drop of their sweat is valuable and contributes to the Royal City's victory over darkness."
For people living in this dark world, nothing is more important than faith.
It is the blood flowing in the body and the spirituality permeating the soul, which is more precious than all rare materials.
The reason why Trorian can survive in such a desperate environment is because there is always a group of people who insist on this dreamlike belief.
If we lose our faith, this last human kingdom will collapse.
And everything that happened in Fanxing Town also sounded the alarm for the Royal City.
For the first time, the Supreme Council discovered that so many people have lost their belief in fire and have degenerated into maggots who are only willing to roll in the hotbed.
Rhodes fought for humanity under such harsh conditions, but there were so many people stabbing him in the back. If anything went wrong, the expedition team would have been destroyed long ago.
Trorian, which suffered serious losses in the Kuroshio and abnormal celestial phenomena, had just improved a little, but then took a sharp turn for the worse.
Even if Wangcheng later dispatched high-level combat forces to regain Fanxing Town, the blow to faith could not be recovered, and another new star of humanity fell before it could shine its light.
What a heartbreaking loss.
They took action without hesitation.
In fact, Fanxing Town has reported abnormal situations to the Supreme Council more than once, but First Elder Armando always believed that this was a trick used by Rhodes deliberately and did not take it seriously.
After multiple reports, we only conducted an ordinary self-examination.
But I didn't expect that someone actually exceeded the limit. They not only secretly destroyed Fanxing Town, but even attacked directly.
This is no different from doomsday believers.
During the investigation, the furious Armando suddenly discovered that the report submitted to him had been specially modified, and every detail suggested that Rhodes was a liar who was full of lies, seeking fame and fame, and was very happy with his success.
If Trorian is compared to a ship sailing on the dark sea, its helmsman is the First Elder.
The person at the helm was actually misled, which is an extremely dangerous signal.
Armando, who had never been so angry in many years, immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the incident.
At the same time, his position has begun to lean toward Wang.
This is a very simple logic.
The thing that the doomsday cult is so afraid of and tries so hard to prevent must be something that is very beneficial to Trorian.
The "Book of Destiny" is a semi-artifact that has many functions, the most important of which is to predict the future of destiny. The doomsday believers who own it may have seen some clues.
Another reason for Armando to change his stance was the White Tower. "King of White Robes" Meredith and "Disaster" Yinetta also gave positive prophecies.
Therefore, Armando did not hesitate to delegate a large amount of authority to Horus and immediately purge the royal city.
However, despite changing his position, Armando did not immediately agree to Wang's new laws and further expansion plans.
It is very prudent to turn the bow of Trollian's big ship.
Rhodes must clear out the surrounding areas of Fanxing Town and establish an effective defense system before he and the group of elders will recognize the king's plan.
And this is why Horus is extremely happy.
Armando didn't say it clearly, but Horus knew that the First Elder was ready to turn around.
For the first time, the Archbishop's orders flowed unimpeded in the Royal City. All his restraints disappeared overnight. Opponents fell silent collectively, while judges, judges, and clergy searched every house in the Royal City.

Although they hid it well and destroyed a large number of clues and evidence, this was just delaying time.
It won't be long before he will uproot all those who have lost faith in fire and sabotaged the Fanxing Town expedition.
Horus had never been so high-spirited.
And all these changes were brought about by that little guy who was once ignored.
The only reason he was chosen to carry out the Holy Fire Project was because of the last message from Theodore's soul.
Horus felt extremely emotional.
He looked at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Site in the distance. The towering red buildings obscured everything, but he knew that the strange movements of the Holy Fire continued, and the turmoil in the Sea of Origin was unprecedented.
However, he was no longer anxious, because the dawn of victory had appeared, and bright hope filled his heart.
As the spiritual leader of Trollian, Horus felt that he had been saved for the first time.
Just the last step.
He wanted to.
As long as the little guy quickly clears the Blackwater Swamp and Yin Soen ruins, the most difficult first step of the Holy Fire Project will be taken.
If the Holy Fire Project succeeds, it will not only resolve the biggest crisis in Trorian's history, but the Holy Fire will also become even more powerful.
The Holy Grail of Fire, which is directly connected to the power of the Holy Fire, is also more powerful. The Trial of Fire will ignite more souls and give the ignited souls more power, allowing more people to become fire bearers. p>
Fire Bearers are the main force in the fight against darkness. Only more and stronger Fire Bearers can resist the invasion of black mist and give Trorian a greater chance of continuing fire and civilization in this dark world.
.
and even achieve final victory.
Hurry up, hurry up.
For the first time, Horus felt such urgency in his heart.
King, please wake up quickly, Trorian needs your authority.
Only you can completely resolve this situation and eliminate all instability and variables.

In Fanxing Town, more and more people are dissatisfied with Rhodes.
In their view, this rising star with leadership potential should continue to lead them to advance vigorously, continue to sweep through the surrounding areas, occupy the entire Star Town, and create a large new human stronghold.
Instead of being obsessed with the opposite sex.
The most dissatisfied of all is Molly.
She reminded Rhodes many times and asked him to focus on matters. As long as he becomes stronger and wins more victories, the royal city can provide him with everything he wants.
However, Rhodes didn't seem to really take it to heart.
Molly has never seen Rhodes meditating and practicing, nor has she seen him exercise his psychic powers, practice his fire ability, or practice the practice of igniting fire.
Of course, personal qualifications are different, and training methods are also different. Rhodes is from the secret branch and is good at breaking through in battle, which is understandable.
But in daily life, he doesn't manage the affairs of Fanxing Town very much.
If Rhodes doesn't have this talent, forget it. Molly can do everything on his behalf. That's why she travels with the expedition team. This is her essential job.
But he obviously has it.
It is no exaggeration to say that 90% of everything in Fanxing Town is brought about by him. Molly believes that she has only done some trivial and detailed work, and that Rhodes is the all-round leader with great wisdom. But after solving the biggest crisis in Fanxing Town and winning an excellent situation for Fanxing Town, this leader actually became obsessed with trying to please the unknown person.
Molly came to him many times to report on her work and discuss further development plans, but he was always absent-minded. Even the black stockings became less attractive to him, and each time he would touch them a few times and then remove them.
What's worse is that just now, he actually used eight million silver cords and gave it to the unknown person.
But she didn't even stretch out her hand to herself sitting next to him.
There are more and more signs that Rhodes is likely to be confused by that woman.
As the senior dispatcher of the General Army War Department, Molly often dealt with the Silver Oath and the forbidden armed forces many times. She knew very well that Mavis was a freak with three forbidden characteristics.
One of these properties is mind control.
Molly invited the priests and soul masters stationed in the new church in Fanxing Town, but they found no traces of Rhodes' control.
His soul is as clear as crystal, not even a trace of pollution can be seen.
It is said that this is a miracle brought by the black rice bucket, which can swallow filth and infection and prevent soul corruption.
The chief priest of Fanxing Town Church told her that Rhodes's mental resistance is extremely high and it is almost impossible to be affected by external forces.
