The size of a church's territory, transportation and other conditions determine how many high-ranking members there are.
In the traditional feudal system, it was precisely because of the inconvenience of transportation that kings and emperors were unable to control distant territories, so they had to entrust them to their ministers, which also gave birth to local emperors one after another.
Among the orthodox churches, the reincarnation religion does not have a large territory. Not to mention the cardinal, even the position of the bishop is a carrot and a pit.
Someone made a counterattack and killed a powerful bishop, which directly caused a short-term power vacuum in this area.
In the Reincarnation Church where the concierge has to occupy his position, the Edwards family suddenly lost a cardinal's successor, and there was only one bishop who could take over.
As soon as this poor man took office, another high-ranking priest died under his command.
This is not only unbearable, but also a big hole.
As a last resort, seek help from our family immediately.
Unexpectedly, the Edwards family responded very slowly this time.
Originally, the reason why the Reincarnation Sect was difficult to deal with was that if you touch one person, when you fight back, not only your contemporary colleagues will be killed, but their seven aunts and eight aunts who have been dead for hundreds of years will also jump out of their graves to write [
Guardian Spirit], pronounced as [Guest Evil Spirit], has an aura that kills him in one go.
Relatively weak individuals cannot compete with this so-called orthodox church.
Now when Mark starts a group, the first group he joins is a bunch of demons, which is really shocking.
If it is targeted by a powerful enemy, forget it, but if you are bullied by evil spirits, what the hell is that?
You must know that the Reincarnation Religion is classified as an orthodox church precisely because of its outstanding ability to deal with evil spirits and demons, and its main god is also considered capable of fighting them.
If you can't even control the evil demons when they bully you, then the Reincarnation Cult might as well just remove the word "god".
The newly arrived Bishop Tanis Edwards slapped the table: "Please bring out the guardian spirit of the local church! Get rid of all the evil spirits and demons in the city!"
"Yes!" In the church, all the reincarnation guardian knights stood at attention, and their metal boots made a uniform crisp sound when they collided.
Throughout the city and beyond, the forces belonging to the Church of Samsara were mobilized.
"The South Zone of the First Squadron, the North Zone of the Second Squadron..."
"Ask a patrol officer you know well to help you look for traces of evil spirits."
Conan City cannot be said to be a small city. This city with a population of 30,000 is still ranked among the top 100 in the Wright Empire.
The Reincarnation Sect branch with more than 300 members suddenly mobilized, half of them were extraordinary people, and they also brought a large number of [Guardian Spirits] to follow. This suddenly caused the whole city to panic.
Think about it, you are walking down the street, and there are a dozen murderous reincarnation guardian knights running across the street, with ten times as many guardian spirits as them. They look so ghostly, and I ask you if you are afraid.
The Church of Light and Night, which had been the quickest to respond to the fight against evil in the past, chose to sit on the sidelines this time after receiving the notification.
Just when the city was in turmoil, the [Mechanical Ascension] quietly approached the city and found a secret bay to anchor secretly outside the view of the port lighthouse.
"What do we do next?" Conrad asked Mark.
"Well, let me think about it... prepare yourself to act like an undead."
This is very painful for Conrad and Helena. They already know that the undead they pretended to be before are really the so-called "skin" special effects in Mark's mouth. A layer of cold spiritual essence wraps their spiritual bodies, allowing them to escape from the spiritual world.
It looks and feels like an out-and-out evil spirit.
Essentially, they are still themselves, unchanged, it just feels weird.
Mark smiled: "I found a suitable place before, now I'm looking for Mr. Bait."
…
The riots in Conan City were inevitably known to most of the citizens.
Al* Smith is an old blacksmith who has lived in this city for more than ten generations. He took a look at the noisy reincarnation believers, lowered his head expressionlessly and continued to blacksmith, until he hid an inconspicuous blacksmith in his trouser pocket.
The five-pointed star is slightly heated.
He instinctively raised his head and looked around. When this happened in the past, it meant that a high-level Sparkman had drawn a gathering symbol nearby. According to the regulations, everyone needed to dress up in disguise and then go to the designated place to gather.
This time was different from the previous gatherings. A young-sounding voice rose in his heart.
[I am the newly promoted (Golden Star)! I killed the high priest named Alat! I am going to get a big one. Those who are willing to respond to my call, please silently say in your heart - Agree! 】
The voice and smile of his tragically killed daughter suddenly appeared in the old blacksmith's mind. He gritted his teeth and said silently: Agree!
The next moment, he was stunned.
In a blink of an eye, he found that he had transformed into a ball of silver starlight, and came into the boundless universe together with dozens of starlights.
In front of them, a bright and huge golden five-pointed star, wrapped in a bright red nebula, was shining.
The Xinghuo cultists were stunned.
The knowledgeable believers immediately realized that the new Golden Star was revealing to them his ridiculously strong soul power.
"Greetings to His Excellency the Golden Star." A large group of 'stars' spoke in an angry voice.
A very strange voice sounded in the void, neutral, low, with a sizzling electric sound: "No need to be restrained. We are all colleagues with the same goal. I need a Silver Star to seduce the main force of the Reincarnation Sect today.
Entering a place is very risky, please volunteer."
Bronze stars don't matter.
There are only three Silver Stars.
But two of the three silver stars obviously hesitated. Only Al's silver star floated forward a few steps.
"Just me! As long as I can give those bastards enough retribution, I won't give up my life!" The old blacksmith's teeth-gnashing hatred overflowed from the silver star. Just hearing the huffing sound between his teeth, Mark
I felt nervous.
"This is not a fatal mission. I just need a bait of sufficient weight. If it goes well, I will send you a signal and tell you the next plan."
"Okay!" The stars looked very excited.
The golden star flickered, and Al found that all the other stars had disappeared.
"Sir, please give instructions."
"I need you to disguise yourself and lead at least one high-level guardian knight to the basement of No. 13 Kensington Street. The more traces you leave, the better. After you go in, I will send someone to pick you up. If you die
Outside the basement door, I'm sorry, I won't save you."
This is a tough job of dancing on the edge of a knife. You must know that the Samsara Cult has already broken its skin and has taken ghosts to the streets regardless of the feelings of ordinary citizens in the city. The Spark believers who are less powerful will be killed before they can successfully seduce them.
Al's soul is full of struggles, and one can imagine that he is probably looking ferocious now.
"No problem, sir. If you don't mind, Longbas, the senior guardian knight of the Reincarnation Church's body church...can you give me his head?"
Mark glanced at him and said calmly: "I'll try my best."
…
Not long after, at the intersection of Kensington Street, three gangsters were brazenly collecting protection money from a shop owner.
"The Reincarnation Cult is doing things! If you don't pay, you are ungrateful!"
"Tell me, are you harboring the murderer of the high-ranking priest of the cult?"
Of course, the Reincarnation Religion will not accept such goods. But the Orthodox Church is a big draw, and there will always be people who come along. When people are needed to help search for enemies, the Reincarnation Religion acquiesces to the existence of these hooligans.
The three guys had just finished knocking out the money and walked out of the store with satisfaction.
"squeak!"
"puff!"
"Ahhh!"
A strong figure suddenly flashed out of the darkness at the entrance of the alley. The dagger in his left hand first cut the throat of a gangster, and the black cross sword in his right hand penetrated the back from the side of the shoulder blade, penetrated the chest, and moved upward at the same time.
As soon as he mentioned it, two fountains of blood spurted out.
The dying screams of the two younger brothers behind him startled the leading brother in front. He jumped forward, awkwardly dodging the bloody sword light from behind, and shouted: "I am from the Samsara God Sect!"
He tried to use the name of the Reincarnation Cult to scare away the mysterious attacker wearing a mask, hood, and black leather armor.
"Hahaha! I'm from the Spark Cult!" Accompanied by the other party's cruel laughter, the silver five-pointed star on his shoulder was so dazzling.
The gangster leader finally screamed in fear: "There are Spark Cultists here——"
The first guard squadron of the Reincarnation Sect, which was searching for enemies nearby, heard the shouts and immediately came over to fight.
In fact, the distance between the two sides is not far, only about 100 meters.
But when they arrived, all they saw was a headless corpse lying on the ground with blood gushing out and its head and neck broken open.
A five-pointed star that was familiar to them disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
