Chapter 330: I am the Crusaders, I'm Confused! (Part 2)
"Commander of the Qi Corps, we discovered..."
Just as the Crusader soldier was about to answer, he was interrupted by the uncontrollable groan of his legion commander.
"Hmm~~~"
I saw that Will Roach had already put the fries into his mouth, chewing it with intoxication.
"It tastes good, otherwise we should eat it first and then talk about it..."
Will Roach can't resist the temptation of delicious food.
Hearing this, several other Crusader soldiers also started to move. After all, the food in front of them could be said to be delicious, delicious and delicious, making it difficult for them to calm down and talk about other things.
Let’s do the food first and then talk about anything else!
The food sold by "Uncle Dale" is not only the shiny fried chicken, but also the taco with corn chips and charcoal grilled chicken is also the signature dish of "Uncle Dale".
The outermost part of the taco is wrapped in a fried corn pancake, and there are tomatoes, shredded lettuce, chicken strips and other ingredients inside. The color combination seems to be particularly rich, and it is one of the few in the store that is not unique.
Such a shiny dish.
Will Roach grabbed a piece of taco and took a big bite. The outside of the corn tortilla was very crispy, and the inside was fragrant, spicy, sour, and sweet. It had all kinds of flavors, and you couldn't help but eat it one bite after another.
Bite it down.
Including Will Roach, the four Crusaders were like reincarnations of starving ghosts, each of them stuffing their mouths full.
"Well... I'll tell you in detail now that I'm done eating..."
Will Roach wiped his mouth and said softly.
After all, this was a restaurant, so he had already changed into the iconic armor of the Crusaders and lowered his voice, not wanting to attract other people's attention.
"Reporting to the Commander of the Legion, based on the villain's investigation these days, I found that in addition to Idar City, this land that has long belonged to the Idar Territory also has several important urban areas such as the Merlin District and the Glen Highlands.
"
"These places also have a large population, and their prosperity is not inferior to that of Idar City. According to the information obtained from the people, the population of the entire Principality of Idar has even reached fifty or sixty
Looks like ten thousand." Soldier A was the first to say.
Hearing this, Will Roach couldn't help but frown.
The prosperity of the city of Idar already amazed him. The hotels and shops along Idar Avenue and the noisy crowds around the Baths of Caracalla all confirmed the economic prosperity of the Principality of Idar.
If there are several other equally prosperous towns on this land, let alone vassals, direct independence is enough.
Well, this idea seems a bit dangerous...
"What else is there besides these? Everyone, we are members of the Holy Army. Compared with these things, I care more about the religious beliefs of the Idar people!" Will Roach said in a deep voice.
Although this information could barely be regarded as intelligence, it was not what Will Roach wanted to hear.
Because at this moment, the current situation of the Idar Principality is unfolding before his eyes.
Will Roach has been able to confirm that Mike's previous remarks about the remoteness and desolation of Idar Territory are pure nonsense!
If the Principality of Idar is still considered remote and desolate, then what is the interior of the empire? It’s probably not even a dilapidated village, right?
As soon as they heard their Legion Commander mention religion, several Crusader soldiers present could not help but hold their breath.
Everything else is fine, except for religious beliefs...it seems a little bit hard to talk about.
"What's wrong?" Will Roach IV seemed to notice a strange atmosphere.
Soldier B gritted his teeth and replied clearly:
"Lord Legion Master, according to the people of Idar, under the order of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, the Idar people built an extremely wide fort on the ruins of Sauron Castle north of the Sauron River.
A large church and called it Hagia Sophia..."
"This is a good thing! What's not to say?" Will Roach felt a little baffled.
"Legion Commander, look at this..." Several Crusaders looked at each other, and then Soldier C said while handing over a newspaper.
After all, it has only been two days since he arrived in the Principality of Idar. Will Roach is not too unfamiliar with newspapers, a new thing that belongs exclusively to the Principality of Idar.
"Idar Daily"!
It is said that reading newspapers is one of the favorite pastimes of Idar people, and is suitable for all ages.
But to be honest, because everything that Idar City showed in front of Will Roach was really dazzling, Will Roach had not taken the time to read the so-called "Idar Daily" seriously.
only……
The moment he took the newspaper, Will Roach's eyes froze.
At this moment, he finally understood why these thin pieces of white paper smelling of ink had such a strong appeal to the Idar people.
The latest issue of "Idar Daily" devoted an entire page to introducing the Hagia Sophia Cathedral built on the ruins of Solonborg.
According to the description in the newspaper, Hagia Sophia is not only the largest church in the eastern part of the empire, but even the largest church on the entire continent!
Both the building area and the number of people it accommodates far exceed that of St. George's Cathedral in the holy city of Bethlehem!
This is somewhat embarrassing...
The Church of Light has always been proud of its St. George's Cathedral, and often uses the size of the church to judge its devotion to the God of Light.
And now, the cathedral built by the Principality of Idar is even more majestic than the Cathedral of St. George. As a result, if the Holy See wants to take action against the eastern diocese in the future, it may be in trouble.
and,
Although Will Roach has not yet seen with his own eyes the Hagia Sophia standing on the ruins of Solonborg, but... he has already regarded this matter as a definite fact in his heart.
The reason is very simple. "Idar Daily" is a publication distributed to all Idar people. If this is false, where will this put the Duke's face?
But having said that, the embarrassment was embarrassing, Will Roach still comforted him: "It is always a good thing that the Idar people can go to great lengths to build the church. This means that what Mike said is not entirely a lie!"
As for what to do next, that’s not our business!
Will Roach secretly added in his heart.
When sending Will Roach to the Principality of Idar this time, Cardinal Camus Blanchard wanted to confirm two things most.
One thing is to find out whether the Principality of Idar is the remote countryside that Mike mentioned. The other thing is to find out how many believers there are in the Principality of Idar and whether the belief in the God of Light is true or false.
And now it seems that although Mike has concealed part of the true situation about the Principality of Idar, the religious beliefs of this land are still in the hands of the Church of Light, which can be regarded as leaving him some psychological comfort.
"Lord Legion Commander..."
Upon hearing this, several Crusader soldiers suddenly started to tremble.
"What happened again?"
Will Roach suddenly had a bad premonition.
"The Idar people do believe in the God of Light, but their beliefs seem to be somewhat different from ours..."
Looking at Will Roach's slightly gloomy face, Soldier A felt like he was about to cry.
