Section 5: The Church of Radiance
Section 5: The Glorious Church ()
"Someone once promised us that the rebels would not endanger the church," the bishop sighed: "Just a rough armed force of about a thousand people, can the regular army of the Duchy of Langston be more straightforward and completely eliminated them in place?"
"Under the Bishop, the Principal of Langston declared that the rebels were like inexhaustible weeds, and they had vigorous vitality in the local area. All the Langston army could do now is to drive the rebels to the most remote places so that they would not poison important areas. However, the reality is that some of our knights were defeated on the border between Langston and Yashu... This seriously weakened the deterrence of our Andorra Alliance, and many people planned to alienate us. And for the military's actions, some of the people in Langston were waiting and watching."
"So, this rebel army that should have been eliminated long ago has the opportunity to survive and be able to move to the Principality of Yashu one after another. Compared to Langston, Yashu's military strength is weaker and closer to the wild west coast, and the Andorra coalition has only stationed a reserve army."
The young clerk's voice was full of respect: "Although the overall strength of the Andorra League is relatively low, it cannot allow the rebels to continue to rage. If they are allowed to collude with the fanatics of the Chenxi Parliament, things will become more troublesome."
"The power struggle between great forces is the first to suffer, but the people of the True God are always the people of the True God." The old voice of the bishop was full of mercy: "Although the Duchy of Yashu is small, it seems that the church cannot give up. Every land on the mainland is under the eyes of the True God. We must do our best to save it! Since the great dukes can no longer count on...well, which apostle is rotating now?"
"Reporting to the Bishop's Coronation, it's now the Ninth Apostle's Rotation. The Knights of the Holy Sword have just completed the supplement and are very strong."
"Request the Tribunal to send the Ninth Apostle and the Knights of the Holy Sword to inspect the Andorra League, to promote the glory of the true God, and to protect our church institutions and devout loyal believers from evil." The old bishop stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the rising sun in the sky: "Guard the Ninth Apostle to handle matters related to the guild of the Supernatural Masters carefully and avoid direct conflicts."
"As for the order, I will convey the will of the crown to them immediately."
When the latest instructions of the rotating bishop were turning around and stamping the church headquarters, in a small town called Hesenway in the Yasshugong, Townsend was sitting in a hotel room and enjoying his breakfast happily.
As always, opposite him was Auston, a genuine religious figure. From Townsend's perspective, it was a wise decision to go on the road with Auston, who was familiar with the local situation, because in the Principality of Yashu, it was not very convenient to move people.
After more than a month of getting along, especially in the second half of the month, the tension between the two has been greatly eased. At least it is difficult to see Townsend fist and kick Auston. They can even go to the tavern to drink together and discuss the next direction of action. Perhaps it is because they have seen Townsend's lawless behavior, and Auston rarely directly fights him. For more than half a month, he has followed Townsend to rob three level 6 missionary institutions in succession, and his life is extremely exciting.
As an intern priest, it is hard for Auston to imagine that someone dares to attack the missionary station in a row. You should know that the sixth-level missionary station already has the power of the church, and its location is no longer a small village in the countryside, or at least a large town with nearly ten thousand people. But in Townsend's eyes, robbing such a place is nothing. In his distant memory, he has snatched a place a hundred times larger than this.
He would slowly reconnaissance the terrain and plan in an orderly manner. Before the action, he would disguise himself in and donate money to determine the location of the vault. In the end, he would act if he felt foolproof, and he would take action, that was, he would eat, rob and burn the house. He even taught Auston these methods of robbing the house, but he never killed anyone, which somewhat comforted the latter.
In fact, every time Townsend operates, Auston will be tied outside the town. He watched the fire rise from afar with anger. Then, Townsend would come back to share with him with the plundered church documents, and after reading the documents, Auston's anger would dissipate half of it. He even thought that the destruction of these missionaries was a good thing for the Glorious Church.
Because the actions of these middle-level priests conflicted with the education Auston received, it was difficult to find a place that did not violate the doctrine. This situation made Auston feel full of contradictions and pain, and also made him embarrassed in front of Townsend.
So in this process, his debate with Townsend never stopped. Faced with the evidence presented by Townsend, Auston always insisted that the original intention and intention of the Glorious Church were correct, and that the mistake was only the individuals who were executed. Perhaps judging from the current situation, there were a lot of "individuals", but this does not mean that the Glorious Church itself is wrong, and the true God is nothingness.
"No matter what ideals are upheld or what justice is promoted, after forming a group, especially after having common interests, the focus of this group will change to maintaining its own existence. There is unlikely to be an exception." Townsend easily answered as he cut the breakfast on the plate: "What once advocated and promoted will be slowly ignored."
"I don't agree that justice is not an entity, but it does exist, it's in everyone's heart. Even if there is no interest, there is always someone who chooses to stick to it." Auston replied: "Is this the demon's outlook on life? I mean, the demons will recognize it?"
"I can understand what you call me. It is very simple to attribute the ugliness of human nature to demons, and it is also convenient to promote ordinary people. But you are not an ordinary person. For you, the most terrible thing is not to prove that I am a demon, but to prove that I am not." Townsend smiled faintly: "From a physiological perspective, I am an ordinary person. So what I do can be done by individuals. If you want to find the real answer, you must learn to see the essence of things. I agree with your true God's statement and wisdom to see the essence."
"I've seen enough, so I hope you can stop doing similar things." Auston felt a thrill in his heart. When Townsend showed that he was just an ordinary person, his fear began to churn. If it weren't for the power of faith that he was supporting him, he might have fallen down on the spot.
If he is not a demon, why can't he stop him?! Whether he is coerced or not, what is the crime of robbing a church missionary with an ordinary person?!
"Are you scared? In fact, fear is just a necessary stage to approach the reality. As long as you are smart and careful, you may get the truth and be truly brave." Townsend put a piece of barbecue into your mouth: "Don't worry, if you encounter an emergency, you will never have any problems as long as you explain it as I told you before. Besides, it will be almost done with two or three times. If you can persist until that time without making mistakes, I can consider..."
