Traveling thousands of miles on pilgrimage is a huge burden on your body and finances.
Not everyone can afford it, but if you don't respond to the call of the Holy See, your faith will be questioned, and you will eventually fall into a kind of self-doubt.
Now that Darnell has the support of his belief theory from the Protestantism that was born out of the Holy See, he can naturally give up the pilgrimage with peace of mind.
People tend to be willing to believe things that are good for them, which is a human weakness shared by most people.
Of course the Holy See cannot sit back and watch this situation spread.
If this kind of thing happened under normal circumstances, they would have taken violent action long ago and sent the Sword of Holy Ether and the Knights of the Holy See to burn those who spread fallacies and heresies in public.
However, the tense relationship with the Conclave of Witches restrained most of their force, and they were unable to mobilize the complete Knights of the Holy See. If they just sent the Sword of Holy Ether that came and went infrequently, it would not be effective at all.
With the help of the Yongye military leader, after Darnell's Protestant religion took action, there was an overwhelming public opinion offensive.
Protestant tracts and new Bibles are just like free of charge. As long as you come to listen to the sermon, they will be distributed in unlimited quantities for free.
It is free in the true sense, the kind that does not even require fundraising. To quote a sentence in the New Bible, it is called, the true God does not need these external things.
Although many of the services of the Holy See are advertised as free, there are so many disguised donations, and churches in different places are different and full of tricks.
Some pastors in churches with rotten churches even equate the piety of their congregants with the amount of donations they raise.
Of course, it is impossible for the true God to enjoy all kinds of material things raised from donations, and must be filled by those priests.
These past corruptions and ugliness made Darnell's Protestantism stand out as unconventional.
Especially this kind of large-scale distribution of Bibles is truly unprecedented.
In the Holy See, it is normal for a parish to have only a few hand-written Bibles that have been passed down for who knows how many years.
The believers treasured it like a treasure and did not show it to others easily. Their sermons relied more on oral recitation.
Whether you are copying the Bible by hand or preaching orally, you have the same problem.
That means too much personal understanding and personal concepts are mixed into it.
The same sentence changes from person to person!
Not to mention the same concept.
This is particularly evident in the widely spread Holy Ether Church.
There are various kinds of teachings, good and bad.
Once the bishops from various dioceses gather together to discuss doctrine, they often get red-faced and fight with each other, rolling up their sleeves, which is not particularly unusual.
This was also a focus of Darnell's reform of Protestantism. He spent a lot of effort to collect all the more representative teachings, cross-referenced them, eliminated a large number of private concepts and opinions, and optimized and organized them.
The spread of tens of thousands of new Bibles printed in one mold would have a far greater impact on the teachings of the Holy See than any words could.
When those literate believers read the New Bible, they will naturally combine their own experiences to form their own subjective understanding.
This kind of subjective understanding is more difficult to reverse than devout belief.
Moreover, the birthplace of Darnell's Protestantism was the Princess Fief and the Countess of Angibena, where the official power was on the side of the Protestants.
The power of the Holy See is severely restricted here.
It was originally due to the sister-brother relationship between Princess Sophia and King Laurie.
The princess fiefdom only showed tacit approval and behind-the-scenes support for Darnell's Protestantism, but did not express its position openly, completely breaking their faces.
But as the new royal court presses harder and harder on the Twin Peninsulas, this sibling relationship becomes more and more fragile. When the benefits are big enough, it is almost like paper.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that, if nothing unexpected happens, the Conclave of Witches will not be able to withstand the Royal Court's offensive. It is simply a question of whether the new Royal Court's losses will be large or small.
The desire of the New Royal Court, a community of interests, will never be satisfied by swallowing the Twin Peninsulas. On the contrary, their desire for expansion will become stronger by then.
The princess fief and the countess will be their next targets, followed by the Eternal Night Army.
As long as their military is not severely damaged, their pace of expansion will not stop.
It is not Princess Sophia's character to wait until the enemy comes to attack and then defend passively.
After this trip arrives at Iron Castle, the capital of the princess's fiefdom, she will stand up for Darnell's Protestantism and fully implement it in her fiefdom to replace the Holy See.
…
Countess of Angiebena.
Angibena City.
In the countess's mansion, guests gathered and drank wine to welcome the arrival of Lord Sean, Lady Sophia and Miss Anne.
The relationship between forces is constantly changing as the strength of both parties changes.
When the princess fiefdom, the countess territory, and the Evernight Army leader were separated.
The Countess can also serve as a link and buffer between the two, barely maintaining independence.
When the two supreme rulers Sean and Sophia were united, the princess fiefdom and the Evernight Army leader merged into one.
The situation of the Countess immediately became awkward and became an obstacle between the two territories.
Angie Beina is a smart person and knows that without the support of the Yongye Army Leader, Grand Duke Patram will go to war with her without hesitation.
In particular, Grand Duke Patram, the royal family, and the Holy See were content with each other. After forming the new royal family, the Countess completely turned to the Eternal Night Army. Although there was no name of affiliation between the two parties, there was a reality of belonging.
The foreign policy of the Yong Ye Army Leader was followed by waving flags and shouting.
Especially in the promotion of Protestantism in Darnell, Angibena's Red Cross Hospital played an extraordinary role.
In this era, God and medicine are indistinguishable, because when people are sick, they are more fragile, and they need more external support, both physically and mentally.
In the Countess, Sean and the others also met an unexpected visitor - Selena, the emissary of the Witches' Conclave.
It has been nearly a month since Selena arrived in the Countess, and she wanted to meet Sean and Sophia through Angie Beina's introduction.
But at that time, Sean and Sophia Liya were on patrol and their whereabouts were uncertain.
Selena can only stay here temporarily.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while.
The witch Selina couldn't hold it any longer and went straight to the point: "I have brought here an autographed letter from President Martina, and I would like to ask Your Highness to read it."
Sophia took the letter in her hand, read it carefully, and then said gently to Selina: "I already know what President Martina means, but unfortunately, I can't do anything about the president's request.
I am no longer the regent of the royal family, and the royal family is no longer the royal family it once was, and I have no way to influence any of their decisions."
"Your Highness is too humble. Although Your Highness has stepped down from the post of Regent, your reputation as Regent is still there for many years. Especially your friendship with King Laurie is even more famous throughout the world. Although you are called brother and sister, you are better than mother and son.
The King of Switzerland has always respected you very much. As long as you send a personal letter, I believe that His Majesty the King will carefully consider the use of troops on the Twin Peninsulas." Selina is not someone who gives up easily, and encouraged the three-inch
The tongue wanders.
It's just that she didn't mention King Laurie. When she mentioned him, Princess Sophia became very angry. Although she didn't show it to her face, her face was still a bit cold and she said: "Miss Selena is really tall.
Look at me, this kind of military and national event, even if I am still the regent, is not decided by me. How can it be changed because of a letter?
As smart as Miss Selina, wouldn’t she not know that the leadership of this war is not entirely with the royal family, the Holy See also plays a role that cannot be ignored, right?”
"Your Highness..." Selena wanted to say something else.
Sophia waved her hand and was forcibly interrupted, "Sorry, I'm tired. I will personally write to President Martina another day to explain the matter in detail."
"Then I won't disturb His Highness's rest." Selina stood up and said goodbye.
Angie Beina, who was accompanying her, got up and sent Selena out of the door, and said expressionlessly: "I have done what the teacher asked me to do, and the rest is your business."
"You are also from a secret society. Don't you care about the life and death of the secret society at all? With the fall of the Twin Peninsula, you will also lose a major support." Selina's words showed deep dissatisfaction.
She could feel that Angie Beina was very indifferent to the matter of the witch secret meeting asking Princess Sophia for help, and seemed to be perfunctory from beginning to end.
"Pillar?" Angie Beina couldn't help but sneered, "Anything must be rewarded if you give it. The reward I gave to the secret meeting has been ten times or a hundred times. I have a clear conscience for what they paid to me. I advise you not to
It’s a waste of effort, unless the broken line of defense falls and the Odin orcs invade, no one can change the fate of the Twin Peninsula.”
"You have a clear conscience. I hope you won't regret what you said today." Selena angrily threw her hands away.
"If you want to say something harsh, I'll wait until you get through this first." Countess Angiebena wrinkled her nose, not taking the other party's threat to heart at all.
The secret society of witches is now completely sick and seeking medical treatment indiscriminately, wanting to try any trick.
External forces like Sophia may still be of some use before King Laurie has completely made up his mind.
Now the Royal Court's new army has been reorganized and has set up a posture outside the Twin Peninsula, with its swords unsheathed and pressing forward step by step.
How could the opinions of one or two people change?
After a fierce battle, the new army of Wang Ting suffered a big loss, and then both sides had hope of sitting down and talking again.
Until now, the Witches’ Conclave has not had such an awareness, so naturally they are at a disadvantage in every aspect.
Just when all the eyes of the world were focused on the battle between the New Royal Court and the Witch Conclave, shocking news came from the Broken Vein Defense Line - the Broken Mouth Blood Castle had fallen.
"How is that possible?"
When Sean, the supreme ruler of the Yongye Army, heard the news, he spit out a mouthful of tea.
"How is that possible?"
When Sophia Liya heard the news, she lost control of the punishment strip in her hand and hit little Annie's pink buttocks hard. A purple blood mark swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Little Annie, who was usually very tough and would never cry or make a fuss no matter how hard she was beaten, was also slapped so hard that she screamed.
"How is that possible?"
When Saint George, the Pope of the Saint Ether Church, heard the news, the holy power in his body exploded out of control. It seemed as if countless voices were shouting at the same time. The people around him were rushed away by the huge force on the spot, and blood ran wildly.
"How is that possible?"
When King Laurie of the Lancelot royal family heard the news, he jumped up from the throne on the spot, and then fell back down with a pale face.
"How is that possible?"
When Martina, the president of the Witches' Conclave, heard the news, she first screamed and lost her voice, and then couldn't help but laugh three times, with a mixture of sadness and joy.
How is it possible?
This was the first reaction of those who knew the situation on the other side of the Broken Line of Defense when they received the news.
Ever since the Broken Vein Defense Line cooperated with the Yongye Army Leader and started border trade, they have made a lot of extra money and their finances have never been richer.
Even in the later period, the Theodin Empire adopted targeted policies. Although it had a certain impact on border trade, the broken line of defense quickly found a new way out, especially the rise of the Undead Empire, which had a certain impact on the Theodin Empire.
After the severe impact, the slave trade became popular again.
The number of Odin orc slaves that the New Royal Court takes over from the Broken Vein Defense Line every year is no less than 100,000, and last year the number increased to 200,000.
This kind of thing is a pros and cons.
The enemy's strength is getting weaker, and the strength of the Broken Vein Defense Line itself is constantly increasing.
Back then, the West Odin Empire brought with it the tremendous power that destroyed the East Odin Empire and came to attack the Meridian Breaking Defense Line, but they all suffered a bloody blow.
Not to mention that this time the Theodin Empire has been weakened to an extreme due to internal and external troubles. The Theodin Empire's army that is currently besieging the broken line of defense only amounts to five to six million, and many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.
No one paid much attention here at all, because they believed that it would only take a year and a half.
The serious food crisis within the Theodin Empire will cause them to collapse without a fight.
According to Archduke Cedric's temper, he will definitely launch a counterattack and lead the Broken Blood Cavalry into the Odin Grassland, burning, killing, and looting to their heart's content, completely trampling the Theodin Empire to pieces, and completely solving the problem of Baidu.
The London Alliance has been a serious problem in recent years.
Suddenly there is completely opposite news, how can people believe it?
Especially the leader of the Yongye Army who has a better understanding of the strength of the Broken Vein Defense Line.
Although the Broken Vein Defense Line is not directly adjacent to the Yongye Military Leader, it is also closely related to the future development of their military leader. Coupled with Sophia Liya's relationship, the Yongye Military Leader is particularly generous to their various policies.
Not only enchanted equipment, black powder barrels, blade-throwing vehicles, new war horses and other obsolete technologies are widely supplied to the broken line of defense.
Technologies such as combat skills are also sold as appropriate. Making money is only one aspect. The main purpose is to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Broken Vein Defense Line.
For warlocks, combat skills are separated by a layer of window paper. Once discovered, it is very easy to pierce through. The rest is just a matter of time and whether it can become a system.
These things will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Broken Vein Defense Line.
