"Woooo~"

Under the bright moon, the little train is lying on the Roxi Church, the carriage is swinging, and it looks happy.

Huge boulders and wooden beams fell from the smashed roof, followed by corpses. The caretaker who stayed behind immediately came to check the leak in his clothes and holding a lantern. When he saw the church

After seeing the huge thing swinging above and the fallen corpse, everyone was paralyzed with fear.

"Bang!" The lantern fell to the ground, and the doorman opened his mouth in fear. His body was stiff for a long time, and then he rolled and crawled out of the church.

"The heretics who threw the corpses are here!"

Roxi City was extremely lively throughout the night.

The next day, when the priest and knight came back and saw that the church they were guarding had turned into this, they all hammered the ground angrily. The city councilors and people from the mercenary union also gathered there, with expressions on their faces.

dignified.

"From Santiago to us, this is probably the ninth time. The cities that were destroyed were all secretly loyal to Archduke Adili. Do you think this was done by the self-proclaimed Supreme Commander of the Palace, Duke Caimon?"

The Speaker looked at the members beside him and asked, "It's said to be a ceremony for witch promotion. Why haven't I heard of such a thing before?"

"It existed before, but you can't see it." Among the onlookers, a little old man looked at the parliament president, "Our Holy Light Church, the Dawn Church, has experienced the persecution of witches several times, and now it is finally our turn to create the world.

Church."

The Speaker raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Do we have the kind of church they are talking about?"

"There used to be some, but because they were frequently used by witches to advance, after reporting it to the parliament, you said they were a black church specifically for witches to advance, and then they were banned." The member in charge of public security reminded.

"Oh, really?" The Speaker nodded after hearing this, "So you are actually of no use."

"The fact that the church was attacked by witches means we are of course useless, but the Roxy Church was also attacked. Does that also prove that it is useless?"

The old man looked at the parliament president with a deep face, "Similarly, if this kind of thing happens in the city, as the parliament president, are you and the city defense army also useless?"

"Damn it, who are you talking about?" The great knight immediately became furious when he heard what the old man said. He picked up the old man's collar and lifted him up. Looking at the angry eyes, if there weren't too many citizens watching around, he would have

It's time to draw the sword.

"Put him down." Seeing the great knight using violence, the council leader said involuntarily. He looked around at the citizens who were already whispering and coughed.

"We are a free city, and what he said is correct in a sense. This is indeed a dereliction of our duty."

The great knight also knew that he should not take action on the street. He glared at the old man fiercely and then threw him to the ground.

"Well, I shouldn't talk about this one-sidedly. After all, you were out to capture witches and were not present at the time."

The old man got up after being thrown to the ground. He looked at the knight and the surrounding citizens, "It is forgivable to be attacked by a witch. After all, no one can guarantee that he will not take a nap. What we have to do is how to deal with this matter in the future.

, what are you going to do next, is to allow that witch to do evil in the kingdom?"

"If that's the case, you are the ones who are guilty."

"You need to arrest the witch, or give the believers a guarantee."

The old man's words made the priest frown, and the surrounding citizens also whispered. They all looked at the bishop. The old man was right, they couldn't sleep until the witch died.

"I will report this situation to the Archdiocese of the Royal Capital, and they will probably send a bishop over."

The pastor watched the whispers around him gradually turn into normal discussions, and soon turned to questioning himself, and then he quickly said, "I guarantee that when the bishop comes, Roxy will be in peace."

The citizens immediately felt relieved after hearing this. The bishop of the archdiocese is a being who can bask in divine grace.

Visibly, the discussions around him began to become sparse, and then the old man spoke again.

"Bishop of the archdiocese, pastor, do you dare to swear in the name of God that he will come?" The old man said disdainfully, "If he could really come, he would have come a long time ago. Pastor Helen there sent the message the night Santiago was desecrated.

Please, if he comes, it won’t be our Roxi’s turn to end up like today!”

The old man said and looked at the citizens around him, "The evil witches even dare to desecrate God's place of grace. No one can guarantee whether they will attack you. Maybe they will capture your children as sacrifices tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow."

If you are about to release a plague in the city, are you going to fool your devout believers with a bishop who cannot come?"

The priest was speechless after being questioned by the old man, and the knight was so angry that he slashed the floor with his sword. The president of the parliament felt that he had done something wrong in blocking him just now.

"Sir, are you trying to create panic? If so, I won't be able to keep you." the Speaker asked with a gloomy face.

"Of course not, I'm just giving you a solution." The old man shook his head slowly.

"Oh?" The council leader smiled when he heard this. He glanced at the pastor and said, "Maybe you think our pastor is incompetent and you want to replace him, or do you want to open the Morningside Church directly?"

"Of course not. Chenxi is a branch of Creation. If you withdraw from the kingdom, you will withdraw. The priest has always been very competent, but some things are beyond his ability." The old man said with a smile.

"Please tell me straight away," the Speaker said with a stern face.

"Although the archdiocese has given up on us, there is still a bishop in the southwestern diocese."

The old man looked at the people around him, "Not only is he deeply blessed by God, but his subordinates are even more loyal to his Knights Templar. If the Roxy Church falls under the bishop's glory, except for heretics, even if there is a war in the future, it will gain a certain

of help.”

"Help, don't tell me that he will have two regiments of Templars with a thousand men. I don't mean that kind of peasants." The speaker of the parliament snorted after hearing this.

The old man's expression turned serious when he heard this, "More than that."

"Hiss~"

As soon as these words came out, the Priest Knight and the Council Speaker all changed their expressions. Their city only had a few city defense troops, and only the squad leader was a professional. The opponent actually had more than a thousand Templar Knights!

This is the old road to the Holy See!

This is absolutely not possible. Their city councilors have finally weakened the church's rights in the city. If this surrenders to the Holy See, it will be equivalent to allowing them to station troops here.

Thinking of this, the council leader quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness, but forget it. Although the reputation of the church has been damaged, the most we can do is endure another corpse being thrown away."

"This is true for the promotion of one witch, but what if there are two or three?" The old man sighed after hearing this, "If they identify the beautiful city of Roxi, they will deliver the corpse here every Sunday.

, over time, will your church still be able to open?"

"How can you be sure that they will do this? Are you colluding with the witches?" The priest questioned after hearing this, "Or are you talking nonsense to make us compromise?"

"Of course not. If I colluded with the witch, I should have asked you to seek refuge with the witch." The old man shook his head slightly, "You are the only one in all the cities who has sent troops. You must know that witches hold grudges."

"It is rumored that the witch's third promotion is to destroy a city with plague. Do you think they will choose Roxy?"

The old man said and looked at the citizens around him, "Do you think a city without the protection of a bishop will attract retaliation?"

As soon as the old man spoke, all the citizens showed panic and worry. Compared with other professions, the promotion of the Black Plague is too public. Every time a third-level witch is promoted successfully, a city will be destroyed in the world.

"For the sake of the believers under my rule, it's not that I can't belong to that bishop, but I don't know if that bishop can protect us. I don't want the believers to expect this in vain," the pastor said.

If he persists at this time, he will be ignoring the faithful, and his position as a pastor will come to an end.

"For the tenth time, we can guarantee that it will not happen south of the Rhine." The old man heard this and looked at the priest, "We can guarantee that we will try our best to capture the witch. Even if we cannot capture her, we will deport her. At least

It won’t appear in the ten southern duchies!”

"If you can do it, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to return to that bishop's seat." The pastor compromised after hearing this.

The location he was in was the diocese of the dukedom, but there was no bishop there. Normally, they and the priests could discuss some matters, but when it came to really big things, it was really difficult to deal with them.

Especially when there's a war going on.

At this time, in the southern part of the Rhine River far away from Roxy City, in a small town outside Kaimon South Camp, Alison and two of her subordinates were eating. When Vivian and the others heard that Alison said they were going to the royal capital to cast their bodies.

At that moment, I couldn't help but scream.
