Pope St. George's voice sounded again: "It seems that you haven't prayed seriously for a while. As the leader of a territory, you are arguing with a guard. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
"What the godfather taught me was that I was rude, and I will seriously reflect on my mistakes afterwards." Grand Duke Patram looked pious and solemn.
"Tell me, what is it that makes you lose your composure?" Pope St. George, who only heard his voice but did not see him, asked again.
"The main army of the Yongye Army is gathering at the Iron Castle in the Princess' fiefdom, preparing to go north to support the Broken Vein Defense Line. They want to use my territory, but King Laurie actually agreed to this without informing me."
When Archduke Patram mentioned how angry he was, even the calmness brought by the Holy Power could no longer work, and his flirtatious voice couldn't help but get louder again.
"The Yongye Army Leader seems to have actively integrated into the alliance in recent years, but looking at what they do, their purpose is still to draw the blood of the alliance and strengthen themselves, especially marrying Princess Sophia.
It has an ulterior purpose.
Before the Odin Orcs posed a threat to their military leaders, they took the initiative to send troops to intervene in the war. It was false to help the alliance, but it was true to intervene in the alliance's situation.
Once you let them in, it will be difficult to drive them out. King Laurie did not understand such a simple truth!
At that time, it will not only be the alliance that will be affected, but the Holy See will also be seriously affected.
The protestant religion that Darnell created in the east was not something he could do alone. The leader of the Yongye Army must be behind it, and he was targeting our Holy See.
A mere princess fiefdom and earldom had already turned the place into a mess.
If the Eternal Night Army is allowed to take over again and become one unified body, Protestantism will definitely take advantage of the situation and rise. The entire east of Byron only hears the name of Darnell and does not know that the Godfather is the true messenger of the God of Truth."
Although Pope St. George did not reply from the beginning to the end, waves of holy power came from the depths. In reality, he was not as calm as he appeared.
After a few minutes, Pope St. George's voice came out again: "What you said is too alarmist. The reputation of the true God cannot be stolen, the status of the Holy See is irreplaceable, and Darnell and his Protestantism are nothing but weakness."
The fallacies and heresies are not so deceptive.
But the wolfish ambition of the leader of the Yongye Army must be guarded against, and it cannot destroy King Laurie's feat of unifying the alliance. What do you think we should do?"
"Forbid the Yongye military leaders to interfere in the internal affairs of the alliance and drive their troops back to the mountains." A trace of joy flashed across Grand Duke Patram's face.
"It's unrealistic." Pope St. George's voice immediately rang out, "If the Yongye Army Commander and Sophilia don't fight back, the Odin Orcs from the east will influx in large numbers. Your territory will be the first to bear the brunt. Once this happens,
If such a decision spreads, the reputation of both the royal court and the Holy See will be greatly damaged. It is not the work of a wise man.
The smartest way is not to prevent them from passing through your territory, but to send them north with great fanfare.
If you can resist the Odin Orcs' southward invasion, you can also reduce your losses.
If you can't guard against the Odin Orcs, someone will help you take the blame. The weakened Odin Orcs will be easier to resist, so you can defeat them in one fell swoop.
Only by sitting back and watching the situation change and taking action at the most appropriate time can we gain the greatest benefits."
The same meaning, when said from different people's mouths, obviously tastes different.
Grand Duke Patram turned away from his previous furious state at King Laurie and showed a thoughtful look: "What the Godfather said is very reasonable. It's just that afterwards the army led by the Yongye Army stayed in my territory and refused to leave.
what to do?"
"Do you think King Lowry will allow the Eternal Night Army to share the Byron Alliance with him equally?" Pope St. George's voice came out leisurely.
Grand Duke Patram slapped himself hard on the forehead and said: "It's me who is confused, it's me who is confused, haha... The leader of the Yongye Army refuses to withdraw to his territory. The one who is most anxious should not be me, but
It's our beloved King. Without me as a nail, the entire east side will be connected. It will be even more difficult for His Majesty the King to take back the princess's fiefdom. Maybe one day, they will change their ways.
I established myself as an empire, haha..."
Grand Duke Patram seemed to have discovered the funniest joke and was overjoyed.
If he had thought of this earlier, there would be no need for him to suffer the bad news from King Laurie, and he would have been able to get back cleanly.
"But the people led by the Yongye Army are the best at manipulating people's hearts. You have to be careful about this. As long as you can ensure that people's hearts are on your side, their crossing the border is just a trivial matter. If people's hearts are not protected, even if they are simply coming from your territory
It’s also a big deal to pass by.” Pope St. George reminded him calmly.
"What the godfather taught me is that I can send a message back to the territory and ask them to only use the road. They will never be allowed to enter the city, let alone stay for a long time." Archduke Patram nodded repeatedly.
As a neighbor of Yongye Army Leader for many years, he has a deep understanding of this.
"Although Darnell and his Protestantism are a small problem, they must be guarded against. You can further collect information about them, not only the scope of their spread, but also the false doctrines they spread, especially Darnell's
He tampered with the Bible without authorization, compiled a so-called new Bible, collected as many of them as possible, and destroyed them on the spot." Pope St. George's teachings were obviously not in vain, and he had to pay the price immediately.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Grand Duke Patram's face as he said: "Darnell and his Protestantism are supported by the Eternal Night Army Leader. It is said that they have used brand-new papermaking and printing techniques. The new Bibles are all based on merchant ships."
The units printed and transported more than 10,000 copies, which were scattered and unable to be collected at all, and their main preaching areas are in the princess fiefdom and Angie Beina's territory, so I am powerless."
"Hmm!" Pope St. George snorted displeasedly.
Grand Duke Patram immediately felt that the pressure on his body doubled. What surrounded him was no longer the warm and comfortable holy power, but the biting cold wind.
Patram shivered so hard that he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He kept saying: "I will do my best to handle this matter and never let down the godfather's expectations."
"Go!" Pope St. George grunted again.
"Then I'll take my leave first." Archduke Patram, who had already solved his own problem, was unwilling to stay here for half a second.
He was unwilling to get involved in the holy war between the Holy See and Darnell's Protestantism.
This kind of jihad seems small in scale now, but it is extremely cruel. Once a conflict occurs, it will never end.
The doors of the palace where St. George meditated opened and closed again.
After seeing off Grand Duke Patram, he fell into the same cold and solemn atmosphere again.
"The true God has no desires, no charity, no pilgrimage..."
Soon the voice of Pope St. George reading the Bible rang out in the empty hall.
However, what he read was not the Bible enshrined by the Holy See, but the new Bible compiled by Darnell, which he had just denounced as a false Bible.
Darnell's Protestantism is by no means as simple a problem as Pope St. George said for the Holy See.
If it was so insignificant, why did he have no time to pay attention to the fall of Broken Blood Castle, the invasion of Odin's orcs from the south, and the emergence of the Eternal Night Army from the mountains, which were related to the changes in the power structure of the entire Ashan continent, and devoted himself to reading Darnell's new Bible?
?
Pope St. George realized it as soon as he got Darnell's new Bible.
This is a supreme sword that can be used against the Holy See. Once it takes root and sprouts, there is no way to eradicate it. If it is not handled carefully, it may shake the foundation of the Holy See and directly split them into two.
"I have already said that it is extremely stupid to defeat Darnell doctrinally. His doctrines are all started from scratch. You can make them up at will according to your own wishes, and ours
Many of them have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If we make any move, it will involve countless people, attract countless doubts, and will only give the other side countless excuses to attack us.
The easiest way is to kill Darnell. As long as he is killed, the Protestantism he advocated will inevitably disappear and cease to exist."
Although the voice that sounded in the hall was St. George's, there was a huge difference in tone and tone when talking to Archduke Patram, as if he was a completely different person.
"Before the other party's teachings spread, this method is indeed feasible. If we do this now, it will only really make Darnell become a god. By then, countless Darnells will stand up and oppose us and the Holy See.
If you want to avoid future troubles forever, you must defeat him with doctrine."
This time St. George's voice became gentle and holy again.
"Pedant, if a Darnell appears, we will kill him. When there is nothing left to kill, there will only be one voice left in the world that conveys the true God, and that is us." The extreme voice of St. George appeared again.
"We are promoting the gospel of the true God, so that more people can convert into the embrace of the true God and believe in the true God. We are not executioners in the name of the true God. I will not use such extreme methods until the last step." Wen Wen.
replied the voice of Saint George.
"Time will prove that my method is the most correct." After saying this, St. George fell completely silent.
"Time will tell everything." Wen St. George replied lightly, and once again fell into studying the new Bible with concentration, preparing for future attacks on Protestantism.
…
A borrowed military leader from the Yongye Army, Manyu Army, stirred up countless disturbances within the New Royal Court, making their internal relations very tense.
But neither Sean nor Sophia Liya has as many dirty thoughts as they do. They have only one goal now, which is to reinforce the broken line of defense and prevent the situation from further collapse.
The situation inside the Broken Blood Castle was discovered by Sean's soul clone, and Sophia Liya knew about it immediately.
When Sophilia heard that none of the 400,000 soldiers and civilians of the Broken Mouth Blood Castle were spared, and that a series of blood relatives including Archduke Cedric, General Arnold, General Edmundson, and General Pedro had all become guardian knights.
.
This iron princess with a persevering character couldn't help but burst into tears.
Faced with this situation, the only thing Sean could do was to summon little Annie and silently put her into Sophia Liya's arms.
According to his understanding of Sophilia, nothing can heal her inner pain more than family. Although he can be regarded as her family now, in terms of nature, it is still not as good as the blood flowing in her body.
Little Annie with half her blood, although she was the one who usually slapped Little Annie the hardest.
Little Annie did not disappoint Sean. She patted Sophia Liya's shoulder with her chubby little hands and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, Mom, don't cry, Mom, who bullied you?"
, tell Annie that when Annie grows up, she will avenge you. Daddy said that as long as Annie practices hard, she can become very powerful in the future."
As expected, little Annie is the best medicine to treat Sophia Liya.
As the saying goes, being a mother means being strong.
No matter how much grief there was in Sophia's heart, it would not show too much in front of little Annie. She quickly held back her tears and said: "Annie, don't worry, mom is fine. Thank you for your concern, Annie. You can go out by yourself."
Let’s play for a while.”
"Annie doesn't want to go out to play, Anne wants to stay with Mommy." Little Annie clearly noticed that Sophia Liya was not in a high mood, and said very considerately.
Sean nodded slightly and imperceptibly, indicating that her mission was completed and she could make a strategic retreat.
"Mom, it's really okay!" Sophia Liya turned a blind eye to the winking of the father and daughter.
"Hey, Annie is going out to play first. Don't cry anymore, otherwise Annie will cry too!" Little Annie made a face, but the mother-in-law asked her to play. Of course she got excited.
Watching little Annie run away, Sophia Liya whispered: "Thank you."
Sean looked at his wife with soft eyes, and said softly: "Why should we be so polite between you and me? The matter has come to this, and we should look forward to it. What's more, although the Grand Duke and the others died, their souls were preserved.
At that time, you will still be able to meet each other in the second world, and it will not be considered a true separation between yin and yang."
"After all, there are only a few people who can enter the second world, and most of the residents are still buried in the Broken Blood Castle." Sophilia still had a sentimental look on her face, "They are loyal to the Byron Alliance, but they can't even
Not a single body was left behind, and all the Byronians owe them a debt!"
"Yes!" Sean deeply agreed with this, "That's why we must try our best to bring the remaining soldiers out of the world of mist alive, and send them safely to the second world so that they can have a fresh start.
The living people owe them this opportunity!"
"What are you going to do?" Sophia asked proactively.
