Holy Sky City, Ronnis's ascetic room.
Unlike the extravagant style of the church, although the [Holy Heaven Cathedral] was built magnificently, Ronnis's residence was very simple and ordinary.
For someone like Ronaldinho who has ideals and aspirations, material enjoyment is like chaff and has no appeal at all.
He would indulge his priests in their enjoyment, simply because there were enough benefits and a relaxed enough environment to make those bastards loyal to him.
The two [Judgement Monks] who were guarding in front of Ronis's ascetic room had to keep their breathing as quiet as possible.
Some time ago, Pope Ronis was in a bad mood.
This is a very rare situation.
In the memories of the two [Monks of Inquisition], Pope Ronis has always been a steady, compassionate and humble person.
They had never seen Pope Ronaldius get angry, nor had they ever seen him panic because of anything.
Even when His Majesty Roland was defeated and a large piece of Hell was bitten off the northeast of Erathia,
Pope Ronis also calmly deployed his troops and successfully prevented the crisis of national destruction.
But in the past two days, they clearly felt that Pope Ronis's mood was much gloomier.
Even if the rage of the demigod was not shown on his face, the change in the surrounding aura was enough to frighten the soldiers.
If the previous Ronnis was a sword hidden in a scabbard, the current Ronnis is a sharp blade with its edge exposed.
Just the look he gave others was enough to make people tremble in their hearts.
If you think about it carefully, Pope Ronis's mood did not suddenly change for the worse.
It all started when Sir Mlak rebelled and charged towards Hell, where he was eventually killed.
The Church informed all of Erathia of Sir Mlak's rebellion.
However, the students of Holy Light Royal Academy held a grand parade for this reason.
Many students who worship Sir Mlak marched in the Holy Sky City, shouting "Teacher Mlak will not rebel, and we request to find out the cause of his death."
Among those students, there were even quite a few believers of the Holy Heaven Church, and some [Monk Hero Seeds] (soldiers who had started the heroic path but had not yet completed it) who were preparing to become high-ranking members of the church.
In the end, the students' march was quickly aborted due to the church's dissuasion.
But from that day on, Pope Ronis frowned from time to time.
He punished some bishops who were extremely corrupt and occasionally summoned Archbishop Inheim, who was imprisoned for suspected collusion with Hell.
Every time Archbishop Inheim left, Pope Ronis would stay in the room for a long time.
It was not until the Pilgrim's advanced unit, the Petitioner, was born in the death row of the Inquisition that Pope Ronis felt better.
The second change,
It was Sosa who sacrificed himself, and the entire Eastward City and Mrak County split from Erathia, and the Church of Poseidon began to preach in Erathia.
From that day on, the two guards never saw a smile on Pope Ronis' face again.
In the past, when Pope Ronius returned to the ashram, he would always say to them affectionately:
"The gospel and glory of the Lord always protect us. Pray to the Lord, children."
But after that day, the pope's greeting became: "The Lord always protects us, pray to the Lord."
The third change,
It was Pope Ronaldius who left the Holy City to go on a preaching tour, but returned seriously injured a few days later.
That was the first time they had gone a whole week without seeing Pope Ronis for worship and prayer.
Afterwards, Pope Ronius recuperated for a long time.
But the number of times he summoned Inheim increased instead of decreased.
Later on, not only Inheim, but also His Majesty Roland Ironfast who was stationed in the western border was summoned by Pope Ronis from time to time.
The person that impressed the two [Judgement Monks] the most was the knight hero Rod Hart who always accompanied Roland.
Rod Hart's shining blond hair and humble smile made them unforgettable.
From that day on, more and more people came to the Holy Heaven Cathedral to pray for annexation.
The cells of the Inquisition were now empty, and many of the new "Petitioners" were sent from the West.
The fourth change is also the most serious one.
That was about a week after Ronis Pope was injured.
Rumors were spreading throughout the capital, and even the [Monks of Inquisition] who had been taking turns on duty at the cathedral had heard the rumors that "Pope Rhonis" had betrayed Erathia.
Although they had never believed such nonsense, Pope Ronis's mood at that time was indeed a bit scary.
Every day they could see the inquisitors and judges of the Inquisition entering and leaving the Holy Heaven Cathedral in a dignified manner.
The most recent change was the return of Pope Ronis from his expedition to Over.
Pope Ronis brought back his heroic image of punishing demons with the angels in Ofer, and crushed the demon's plot to discredit him and create division.
This is obviously a good thing, but Pope Ronis always seems worried.
The greeting to them also became these four simple words: "Pray to the Lord."
It was not until the past two days that these [Judgement Monks] understood the reason why Pope Ronis was upset.
The Church of Poseidon actually pushed away the entire continent of Ofu!
The holy war between Ofer and Erathia came to an end.
But the reason for the end of the holy war was not the [Holy Heaven Church] that had been fighting for the people of Erathia, but the [Poseidon Church] that took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it!
This is simply outrageous!
The day after Pope Ronaldius returned from Ofer, he left the Holy Sky Cathedral again.
Then, he came back two full days later.
After returning this time, Pope Ronis became what he is now.
He went in and out of his ascetic cell very frequently and met various people every day.
Local bishops, members of the Inquisition, major privy bishops...
However, no matter how many times Pope Ronis entered and exited the ascetic room, he never greeted them [the Monks of Judgment] again.
There was not even a nod to them, as if they did not exist.
Moreover, when they were on duty at the door of the ascetic room, they would feel the powerful pressure coming from the ascetic room from time to time.
This unusual situation made every [Judgement Monk] extremely serious when on duty, for fear of making mistakes.
"here we go again."
Feeling the pressure from the ascetic monk once again, the two [Judgement Monks] straightened their backs as if they were being stabbed in the back.
At this moment, an Inquisitor, who was covered in a black robe with only an inverted cross on his chest, came over in a hurry.
The [Judge Monk] immediately reached out his hand and stopped him:
“The Lord is above.
Your Excellency, the Pope has ordered that you should not be disturbed."
The Inquisitor placed his hand on his chest and said anxiously:
“Thank God for your blessing.
Please inform His Holiness the Pope that the Chosen of Yasha suddenly rioted."
"Let him in."
Ronys' calm voice rang out in the ascetic room, and the two [Judgement Monks] immediately lowered their heads and stepped aside.
The [Inquisitor] strode over, slowly opened the door, and entered the ascetic room.
In the ascetic room, Ronis's table was covered with books of all sizes, most of which were related to the [Doctrines of the Church of Holy Angels].
"The Gospel", "God Says", "Introduction to the Origin of the Church", "God Loves the World", "The Seven Deadly Sins"...
Ronnies, who always paid attention to his appearance, now had disheveled hair and looked very haggard.
Ronnis knew very well that this [Inquisitor] was the emergency contact between him and Roland.
He turned around and asked:
"What's making you so nervous? Is there any problem with Roland?"
The Inquisitor half-knelt on the ground and said with great fear:
"Your Holiness, there is news from His Majesty Roland.
Yesterday, a large number of Yasha gods poured into the Western Territory using various means.
They had a clear goal and headed straight for the [Tent Village] surrounding the Western Border.
In just over a day, they took away all the rioters in the [tent village]. "
"What!
A total of 1.24 million rioters were taken away?!
One day?! "
Ronis suddenly stood up, emitting overwhelming pressure.
He covered his chest, suppressed his emotions, and asked calmly:
"Why did Roland only inform me today about what happened yesterday?!"
The Inquisitor's lips moved, but he said nothing.
If it were any other time, Ronis would have noticed something was wrong long ago, but his mind was now so disturbed by the news that he couldn't even think calmly.
He then asked:
"How could those chaotic and inexplicable Yasha Chosen Gods suddenly organize themselves and act together?
Everything has a reason! Check it out immediately! Who organized them?"
"It has been found."
The Inquisitor gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said:
“The commander of these Yasha God Chosens is the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce from Longshe Port City.
All members of this Chamber of Commerce are chosen by the gods of Yasha.
They were the first to arrive at the [Tent Village] and the first to recruit villagers from the Tent Village.
The Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce is directly affiliated to the Chamber of Commerce of Saint Adela.
Your Majesty, it was precisely because he found out this that he did not dare to stop it immediately.
His Majesty Adela is your student. He thought that this was your order, so he wanted to find out more about it before asking you again .
Who would have thought that with such a delay, those Yasha God Chosen would take away all the rioters overnight."
"Adela!"
When he suddenly heard the name, Ronis frowned.
He could never have imagined that this matter would be related to Adela.
"You go out first."
"yes!"
The upset Ronis immediately gave orders, and after the Inquisitor left the door, he could not wait to activate the angel statue hanging around his neck.
"teacher."
Hearing Adela's voice, Ronis felt relieved.
Adela is his most proud student. As soon as she awakened, she was loved and blessed by many holy spirits and was extremely talented.
Ronnis had already made up his mind that after he became a true god, he would let Adela inherit his church.
He even put the Inquisition, the church's most powerful violent agency, in charge of Adela.
“In the entire Holy Angel Church, Adela is the only one who is least likely to betray me.
There must be some misunderstanding here.”
While thinking, Ronis asked:
“Adela, is the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce under your control?
Yesterday, the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce mobilized a large number of Yasha God Chosen and went to the west of Erathia to recruit more than one million rioters. Do you know what is going on? "
"I know! It was my order!"
Hearing Adela's cheerful voice from the angel statue, Ronis almost vomited blood.
Evil disciple!
It turned out that you really ruined my big plan?!
I'm so angry that my blood vessels are about to burst, and you're still so proud of yourself!
He almost couldn't control the volume of his voice, but his long-standing scheming prevented him from revealing any emotion.
“Adela betrayed?
wrong.
Only Roland and Rod Hart knew about my plan. It was kept completely confidential and passed on by word of mouth. There was no way it could be leaked out.
Even if the plan was leaked and Adela betrayed me, she wouldn't have admitted it so openly like she is now."
Ronis suppressed his emotions and asked inconspicuously:
"Adela, why did you suddenly ask your chosen ones of Yasha to recruit those rioters?"
"Teacher, I was just about to report this to you.
Just five days ago, a mermaid legend from the Church of Poseidon found Queen Catherine.
She asked the Queen how the Church of Poseidon should develop in Erathia.
Queen Catherine also knows that the greedy Poseidon Church is definitely no match for our Holy Heaven Church.
Therefore, Queen Catherine told the other party that our Holy Heaven Church has a strong foundation in Elasia. If we target those cities right away, the Church of Poseidon will inevitably have a head-on conflict with our Holy Heaven Church, and the chances of winning are slim.
Queen Catherine ordered the Poseidon Church to begin preaching in the areas where our Holy Heaven Church's control was weakest.
Surround the Acropolis from the villages, then capture the county town from the Acropolis, and finally gradually attack the major cities.
The first target they chose was the [Tent Village] in His Majesty Roland's territory.
There are a large number of rioters in the [Tent Village], and more than 70% of them are non-believers, and the remaining 30% have weak faith.
Once more than a million rioters are bewitched by the Church of Poseidon and dispersed to various cities in Elasia, they will tear through the defenses of our Holy Heaven Church in one fell swoop.
One day later, which was 4 days ago.
Queen Catherine ordered Sylvia to take the legend of the Church of Poseidon and some missionaries to bypass the Arctic Ocean and land at Lake Victoria in the northwest to deceive the rioters in the tent village.
At Sylvia's speed, it would take at most three days to arrive.
I was extremely distressed by the limited freedom I had around Her Majesty Queen Catherine.
Fortunately, I figured out a solution in time and asked my Yasha God to go out and recruit all those rioters in advance.
Humph. No matter what schemes and tricks the sinister and cunning Poseidon Church wants to use against those rioters, as long as the rioters are gone, they will be helpless! "
Insidious and cunning...
Ronnis felt uncomfortable. He always felt that the four words "Adela" were referring to him, but he couldn't say anything.
Ronis was silent for a moment and asked:
"Adela, why didn't you report this to me in time?"
"teacher?"
Adela asked curiously:
"Teacher, what happened?
Or, is there something I did wrong?
I am undercover here. It would be extremely risky to contact you rashly without any chance.
Didn’t you tell me last time to be careful?
Moreover , even if I contacted you, teacher, you wouldn't be able to stop it.
Any action our church takes against the rioters in the [tent village] would be tantamount to exposing me directly.
I am willing to sacrifice for the church and God, but my sacrifice should be more valuable.
Taking all factors into consideration, I think it is the right choice for me to remotely control Yasa God's Choice and let Yasa God's Choice take away the rioters.
Did I make a mistake accidentally?"
Ronis was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized his mistake.
He quickly covered it up and whispered:
“No, you did the right thing.
Adela, what I mean is that your move to contact the Chosen One of Yasha is not foolproof.
No matter how covertly you act, the Church of Poseidon will link the actions of the Chosen Ones of Yasha to you.
After all, it was such a coincidence that all the rioters were taken away just as they had made their plan.
You must not do this kind of thing often, otherwise it will greatly increase your risk of exposure."
"I see."
Adela sounded much more relaxed.
"Teacher, don't worry. Sylvia and I have a very good relationship. Without clear evidence, even Queen Catherine and the Sea God Church would not dare to do anything to me.
It’s just that it will be more difficult for me to get information in the future.
I have made preparations to remain in hiding for a long time, and I am also prepared to sacrifice myself for the church at any time.
All for the glory of the angels."
Ronis felt very upset.
He was obviously furious, but he couldn't blame Adela.
Adela was unaware of her plans.
In the absence of sufficient information, there was nothing wrong with the choice she made, and it could even be said to be a great achievement.
But the action she took caused her carefully planned plan to collapse in an instant.
It was like a dagger stabbing into my heart from behind.
Ronis took two deep breaths and said with gritted teeth:
"Very good, I'll leave that to you, Adela.
If you encounter any difficult problems, don't force yourself and ask me for help in time.
If you are really in danger, I will allow you to evacuate in time."
"The gospel and glory of the Lord always protect us. Pray to the Lord, teacher."
"Ah, pray."
After ending the call with Adela, Ronis's face suddenly became gloomy.
He picked up a book on the table and wanted to smash it hard on the ground. He raised his hands in the air, but in the end he didn't smash it down.
“Even if Adela doesn’t let those Yasha Chosen Ones take action, my plan will fail after the Poseidon Church reaches the tent village.
With the presence of the Church of Poseidon, Geffen Hart would not be able to massacre the rioters to increase his military strength.
We in the Holy Heaven Church cannot rely on our status as saviors to make those rioters loyal to us and voluntarily surrender their faith.
Could this be a coincidence?
Why did the Church of Poseidon not preach the gospel earlier or later, but at this very moment?
Catherine is just so perfect, she wants the Sea God Church to deceive those rioters? !
If this is really a coincidence, then it is a prank by the goddess of fate. The great river of fate does not want me to have my way.
This was Yasha warning me that what I was doing was wrong.”
Ronis closed his eyes and sat on the chair.
His hands were clenching the book tighter and tighter.
"No! I don't believe it!
How could it be such a coincidence?
The news must have leaked.
I haven't told anyone, so it could only be that someone, Roland or Rod Hart, had betrayed our alliance.
Is it Roland who wants to get rid of my control, or is it Rod Hart who wants to have it both ways?
Don't they understand?
If my [Holy Heaven Church] falls, they alone will not be able to fight against [Catherine and the Church of Poseidon]!
Or maybe…”
A terrible idea suddenly popped up in Ronis' mind.
“Could it be that, no, it’s impossible, but it can’t be completely denied.
Could it be that Catherine did not let Gru protect her, but sent Gru to my side a long time ago to monitor my every move? ! "
Thinking of this, Ronis almost broke out in a cold sweat.
“Gru is proficient in concealment, reconnaissance, and sniping. Before he became a demigod, he was the most elite jungle warrior in all of Erathia.
Even the elves were impressed by his abilities.
Legend has it that he can vanish into thin air, following the other demigods without a sound or a trace.
When I was in Shengtian City, there was Cloud City there, and Gru couldn't sneak in.
But when I discussed with Roland and the others, it was in Roland's main city, where the defenses were far inferior to those of Shengtian City.
If this is true, then how much of my plan has been leaked?
[Tent Village], [Haunter Castle], [Soul Devouring Angel]...
Or, all of them?!"
When he thought of this, Ronis felt uneasy and anxious.
"No, we must find a way to confirm it."
…
…
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da, ta-da.
A sturdy Centaur leader was pulling a cart and running on the grass in the wild.
On the cart, Smith and Qi Ge sat together.
Behind the cart, there were eighteen [Fairy Paladins], including Lawrence.
During this period, eight more healing slimes were born in the God's Chosen City.
With the help of Lawrence, all fairies and healing slimes completed [Fusion Evolution] and evolved into [Fairy Paladins].
Qi Ge named them "Eighteen Riders of Yanyun" in the hope that they would be as fierce and strong as the heroes in the Sui and Tang dynasties, killing at will and making the enemy fear them like tigers.
The [Fairy Paladins] that are born later will be assigned to the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, gradually changing from eighteen riders to eighteen knightly orders.
At this time, Qi Ge was sitting on a cart with a map in his hand, writing and drawing despite the bumps of the cart, while Smith was sitting obediently beside him, using his calves to help Qi Ge hold down the map to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
"It's just ahead, stop the car."
Qi Ge suddenly raised his pen and shouted.
The Centaur, moving at high speed, took two steps, slightly tilted its body, and stopped the cart.
As the cart swayed, Smith screamed and fell into Qi Ge's arms.
Qi Ge hugged Smith, frowned slightly, and asked the Centaur:
"Aren't you known as the best driver among all the Centaurs? Why did you stop so suddenly?"
"My lord, I'm sorry. I got a little excited for a moment."
The Centaur admitted his mistake in a good manner.
"I'm not injured either, Brother Qige, don't blame him."
Smit whispered in favor of the centaur.
Qi Ge didn't want to make things too difficult for him, so he just said to be more careful next time and took Smith off the cart.
Behind the Seven Pigeons, Lawrence walked to the Centaur leader with a smile and bumped the Centaur hard.
Then Lawrence raised his thumb and shook it vigorously a few times, making eye contact with the Centaur.
"Brother! Steady! Your driving skills are amazing!"
"That's right, you don't even look at who I am."
"Don't worry, the lady of the lord will reward you handsomely when you return!"
“Hehehe~”
…
…
"This is the right spot. It's just right."
Qi Ge carefully checked the map and stuck a red flag into the ground.
He was calculating distances around the territory with Smit.
As long as the distance calculation is sufficient, you can rely on the opportunity of [Territory Building Position Adjustment] to use the fairy villages to form a straight line and incorporate the natural wonder [Mahogany Watchtower] which is not far from the God's Chosen City into the territory.
Then take advantage of the opportunity of [Territory Terrain Adjustment] to move the [Mahogany Watchtower] to the periphery of the territory.
At the same time, these fairy villages used to clear the way can also be moved back to the vicinity of the territory.
Whether it is the opportunity to [adjust the location of territory buildings] or the opportunity to [adjust the terrain of territory], they are hard-won.
This time, Qi Ge wants to take down the most critical [Mahogany Watchtower] and as many [Element Gathering Points] as possible.
Each of these natural wonders is of great benefit to the territory.
Once the territory adjustment is started, there is no way to withdraw or cancel it. If it fails and the adjustment is not completed, you will probably have to wait until the main city is upgraded, or build a citadel all the way over, before you can occupy these natural wonders.
No matter which option is chosen, the time and resources required are extremely exaggerated.
Therefore, Qi Ge was extremely careful and personally took part in every step of the measurement.
After he has marked all the village relocation locations, he will check them repeatedly to ensure that there are no mistakes.
Qi Ge put on the magic eye and followed the position of the red flag, observing the distance between the red flag and the [Mahogany Lookout Tower].
Then he cast the [Perspective on the Atmosphere] and [Perspective on the Earth] magic once more, and after confirming that everything was correct, he smiled and said to Smith with relief:
“Okay, the work here is done.
Next, we will return to the territory, and then head south of the territory to plant red flags on the road leading to the [Elemental Gathering Point]. "
"Um!"
Smith smiled happily and took Qi Ge's hand.
Seeing the good atmosphere between Smith and Qi Ge, the Centaur leader began to imagine various rewards in his mind!
On the way back, Qi Ge, who was finally relieved, had the chance to chat with Smith.
Qi Ge rubbed Smith's head and asked with a smile:
"How is it, is the work of the Saint tiring?"
When Smith heard this, his face immediately turned bitter:
"Well! I'm not really tired, but... it's too much of a burden for me!"
"burden?"
Qi Ge asked doubtfully :
“What are those burdens specifically?
Is dressing too complicated? Or is grooming too tiring?
Or is it that the various words and emotional expressions during a speech are too difficult to manage? "
“Neither.”
Schmidt shook his head and said:
“It was hard, but I could handle it.
Even Her Majesty Adela said that my temperament is not inferior to hers.
The burden I mentioned was that when I played the role of a saint, those uncles, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers who were older than me would always kneel before me and worship me.
Not only could I not go over and help them up, I also had to put on an attitude of condescension and accept their gratitude towards me.
I have never had the habit of putting myself above others since I was a child, and this has put too much psychological pressure on me."
"Ah, so this is the burden you're talking about.
There is no way, just bear with it.
The territory of Luoshi, where you grew up, is located in the southern border of Queen Catherine.
The relationship between believers and [members of the Holy Heaven Church] there is slightly more equal, not so exaggerated.
But in Roland's territory, there is an extremely strict hierarchical gap between the [members of the Holy Heaven Church] and the believers.
If the person is a member of the Holy Heavenly Church at the bishop level, ordinary believers will not only kneel down and pay homage to him, but also lie on the ground and let the bishop step over him when he passes by.
If you can't even handle this level of intensity now, what will you do then?
You will have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of disintegrating the Holy Heaven Church from within.
If you really can't do it, just think about Milora when you are playing the role of the Saint, and learn from her, you won't go wrong."
"Sister Milora..."
Smith coughed, and imitated Milora, putting one hand on his chest and one hand on his waist, and said to Qi Ge:
"It turns out that you, the stinking lord, haven't forgotten the agreement between us.
Humph! The [Dark Light Pollen] you brought back this time tastes very good, I am very satisfied.
In that case, I will be merciful and allow you to kiss my feet this time.
Come on, stick out your disgusting tongue and enjoy it."
"Pfft!" Qi Ge couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into laughter while clapping:
"Like! So much like!
This is the feeling, this look of contempt for all living beings!
Let me tell you, the believers in Roland have long been torn apart by the church's teachings, and their values ​​are distorted.
The more holy and arrogant you are, the more you look down on others, the more they think you have the flavor of a god."
"Hmm~ It's still difficult."
Smit pouted and tapped Qi Ge's chest.
“It’s really difficult for me to play this kind of role.
My father taught me since I was young to be polite and kind to others. "
"Haha." Qi Ge patted Smith's back gently. As he laughed, his expression became serious.
“Smit, there is a church in Bracada too.
Do you know the difference between the Thunder Church and the Holy Heaven Church?"
Smit thought for a moment and shook his head.
Qi Ge explained:
“The Thunderbolt Church and the Holy Heaven Church have one crucial thing in common.
That is, they monopolize all beliefs of their respective forces and are highly exclusive.
They will carry out all-round and unreserved suppression against any church that threatens their ruling status.
Either resort to force, or destroy its reputation, or simply use political power to veto it.
But there are also huge differences between them.
Although the Thunder Church does not allow Bracada to have a second faith, they do not care whether the people of Bracada will believe in them.
They are high above, looking down on the world.
Although on the surface the Thunder Church's presence in Bracada seems to be not as strong as that of the Grand Council.
But its tentacles penetrate into every aspect of Bracada.
All of Bracada's core industries have investments from the Thunder Church, and the most profitable resource transactions are completely monopolized by the Thunder Church.
Even the highest control over Bracada has always been in the hands of the Thunder Church.
The Thunder Church is the tool used by the Titans to control Bracada.
The Thunder Church is like the reins that control the horse.
The Titans are the real drivers.
But the Holy Heaven Church is different.
The [Holy Heaven Church] covers all classes in Erathia much more powerfully than Bracada.
The [Holy Heaven Church] does not care about the country's complete control.
That's why Erathia has two national leaders, Catherine and Roland.
[Holy Heaven Church] only attaches great importance to divine authority.
The Holy Heaven Church doesn't care at all about how the people of Erathia live, whether they are patriotic, how strong they fight, etc.
Who the people of Erathia pray to and make wishes to is what the Holy Heaven Church cares most about.
Similarly comparing Erathia to a horse, the Holy Heaven Church is the carriage that fastens itself firmly to the horse.
The Holy Heaven Church doesn't care who the coachman is or where the horse is going.
The [Holy Heaven Church] only cares about whether it can be firmly tied to the horse and not be replaced by other carriages.
The core issue that causes this difference is that the angels of Erathia really need the power of faith, but the Titans do not.
It is for this reason that the core of the [Holy Heaven Church] is always how to extract faith value more efficiently.
Excluding those pilgrims and petitioners who exceed the standard, what kind of people contribute the most faith points?
The answer is that those who have no one to rely on, no ability of their own, and can only put everything in the hands of God, can contribute the most faith value.
The essence of faith is belief and worship, it is to give up one's own efforts and place one's wishes on others.
In Roland's territory, under the joint control of the church and Roland, such people are everywhere.
Their lives are constantly denied and they gradually fall into failure after failure.
This leads to them being unable to find the meaning of their own existence except admiring angels.
And such a person must be a twisted person who admires the strong.
In their imagination, something like God should be ruthless, heartless and omnipotent.
'God is so powerful, so powerful that I can't even begin to compare to Him, so powerful that no matter how hard I try, it's useless. That's why I leave everything to God.'
This is the common thought of the believers in Roland's territory.
This kind of thinking is called escape, and it is called finding a reason for yourself to sink.
Because of this, they don’t want to see God and His messengers being friendly to them at all.
In their hearts, as weak believers, they should dedicate everything to God.
If we want to change their minds, we must first cater to their thoughts.
They admire our strength, so we show our strength.
They are weak, so we are strong.
We show them what they lack and what they yearn for.
Only in this way can they recognize us from the bottom of their hearts.”
After listening to Qi Ge's words, Smith thought blankly for a long time before saying:
"Brother Qige, I understand what you mean.
You mean, they prefer being whipped than me treating them gently?
So even if I treat them with condescension, I don't need to feel guilty about it, because this is what they want?"
Seven Pigeons: ...
"Ahem, although there are some differences, the meaning is correct."
Smith suddenly realized.
"I finally understand. Thank you, Brother Qige."
…
A breeze blew, and the veteran Centaur leader consciously slowed down his pace.
He looked around leisurely, slowly stepping on the questions and answers coming from behind it, and for some reason a silly smile appeared on his face.
…
…
“Ding~~~”
Accompanied by the melodious sound of ship bells, the Queen Catherine slowly approached the port of the Queen's Territory.
The people who had been waiting for a long time couldn't wait to start waving flower petals and cheering loudly!
"Ah!!! Her Majesty the Queen is back!!"
"Her Majesty the Queen has returned in triumph!"
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!!"
A few days ago, the news of Catherine's victorious return spread throughout the Queen's territory.
"Queen Catherine and the Church of Poseidon unite to drive away the continent of Oufu!"
"The holy war has come to an end. The greatest emperor of all time, the genius queen who will forever defeat the devil!"
"Surpassing Her Ancestors, Queen Catherine is about to return to her loyal queendom"
…
Thanks to the tireless propaganda of many bards, Queen Catherine's great achievements have become known to everyone.
In the past few days, the people of the entire Queen's territory have been immersed in a sea of ​​joy.
Regardless of their wealth, status, or military class, they cried for joy, they sang and danced, they worshiped their ancestors, and they got drunk.
Banquets of all sizes were held one after another, with endless new varieties of entertainment continuing to be performed.
All the people in the Queen's Territory are celebrating the permanent end of the holy war in their own way!
On the day when the Queen Catherine was due to arrive, the festive atmosphere reached its climax!
In the street, as long as someone shouted loudly: "Queen Catherine!"
There will surely be countless people shouting: "Long live!"
These sincere and emotional cheers carry too many obsessions, hatreds and long-cherished wishes of the people of Erathia.
“Ding~~~”
The ship bell rang, and the Queen Catherine finally docked at the port in the Queen's Territory.
The Queen's Round Table Guard, who were in charge of protection, led the way first, and then in the expectant gaze of everyone, Catherine walked out fully armed!
She took off her helmet, her brown-gold hair flew, and the griffin pattern on her chest sparkled!
Everything was quiet and the people were looking forward to it.
Catherine drew her sword and declared:
"My people, I am back! We have won a great victory, and the holy war is completely over!"
"oh!!!!"
"Long live Her Majesty!"
"Long live Her Majesty Catherine!"
They shouted at the top of their lungs, the mountains roared and the sea roared, and everyone was jubilant.
The huge sound waves rushed into the sky and resounded through the sky!
Inheim mingled in the crowd, staring at Catherine who seemed to be crowned by the sun.
The corner of his mouth curled up, and he shouted cruelly and coldly along with the cheering people:
"Long live His Majesty the King!"
Inheim's voice was mixed in with the crowd, and no one noticed that his cheers were subtly different from those of other citizens.
