Chapter 812 Coming forward
The core of the station, the temporary church, the prayer room
The commander-in-chief of the Holy Union Northern Expedition, the Grand Knight Captain Jeff Harrington from the Sun Sect, opened his eyes , stood up slowly, and began The golden halo that surrounded him also dimmed at the same time, quickly integrated into Harrington's body, and turned into warm currents filled with powerful power that traveled around his limbs and bones, easily Offset the fatigue of this body.
Soon, Knight Commander Harrington, who had not slept for several days, raised his head in high spirits, slowly moved his body back to its best condition, and looked at the mini-seat in front of him. The statue of the sun offered its last prayer of the day.
In half an hour, the day will be over.
He walked out of the prayer room slowly, walked to the huge long table in the middle of the command room, sat down, and lazily unfolded the strategic terrain map in front of him.
The picture was sent by the Druid of the Sumerian sect two months ago. It is very accurate and detailed, and the intention is very obvious.
That is, they hope that their expeditionary force can make good use of this terrain map and do something practical.
But I just accepted the picture, but didn’t do much.
So those allies who believe in some elemental spirit should be very dissatisfied with themselves.
Boredly flipping through the terrain map in front of him, Knight Commander Harrington's angular face was calm and calm. It was obvious that he didn't care whether the orcs had a grudge against him.
Because those who sit in the wind and sun on the mountains all day long will not fight, nor will the heretics who are destined to die under the glory of the true God.
And he, Jeff Harrington, who is ranked ninth among the Thirteen Knights of the Sun Cult, is undoubtedly very good at fighting.
War requires sacrifice.
Or perhaps, victory requires sacrifice.
However, those people in Sumir were not willing to sacrifice, and those heretics who only dared to huddle in dark corners were not willing to sacrifice, so they had no way to win.
The only one who can win in the end is the United Holy Religion, and only our Lord, the God of the Sun.
Jeff Harrington has always believed in this. Although he knows very well that if he wants to win, he still needs to make sacrifices. Fortunately, there is one person who knows how to do it without giving up. He plucks the fruits of victory despite the cost. Although he is not good at fighting with soldiers, his friends who are more discerning than anyone else are always supporting him.
The reason why Harrington did not move was because he was following his friend's idea and waiting for a victory without sacrifice.
To be more precise, it is a victory in which 'our own people' will not sacrifice.
It is true that the orcs in Sumir will be very dissatisfied with themselves, but that doesn't matter, after all, they are not their own people.
Of course, some of our own people are very dissatisfied with the current situation. More and more compatriots come to ask for a fight every day, but there is nothing they can do about it. After all, they are not high enough and do not understand the situation well. They are all as shallow as themselves, and there is no one with a long-term vision to support them.
So, just ignore it. Even if there are some complaints now, it will not affect the morale of the army. When the victory is won, the complaints will disappear.
It doesn't matter if we don't break up, after all, I have never been the kind of person who cares about public opinion.
Just an ordinary person among the millions of followers of our Lord.
"That's almost it. If those heretics want to open up the situation as soon as possible, no matter what card they hide, it's almost time to reveal it."
Knight Commander Harrington murmured in a low voice. He said something, then rerolled the terrain map and threw it aside. It can be seen from his attitude that what troubled him during this period was definitely not the dissatisfaction of Sumir Fang, nor the resentment of the soldiers under his command.
But
[I didn’t expect that Warrens would be imprisoned. 】
Jeff Harrington gently brushed the letter in front of him with his thickly calloused fingers. He had read the letter several times and could almost read it from beginning to end. The letter memorized by the end: "And it is still the Battle Sisters of the Dawn Sect."
The content of the letter is very simple. Harrington's inner monologue and a soliloquy have made it clear enough.
The whole story is not difficult to explain. To sum up, after Green Tyree, the Grand Knight Commander of the Dawn Sect, arrived at the Northern Expedition, he immediately took over the second battle group of the Sun Sect. The job of the commander, Golden Crown Priest Warrens Kalleni, as for the reason, Knight Commander Green only gave two words - dereliction of duty.
What the specific malfeasance law was, Knight Commander Greene did not say, and Priest Warrens did not ask. Externally, he explained it as ordinary military mobilization, and the corresponding work only took half a day. The handover is over.
The real reason is actually not a secret. Whether it is the City of Light or the Northern Expeditionary Army, anyone with a higher religious rank is very clear about the mistakes made by Bishop Warrens. In fact, there was only one, and that was to let an investigation team of twenty people die with an almost deliberate attitude.
The composition of that team is not complicated. Simply put, it is a rising star from the Dawn Sect and several others.
The name of the rising star is Hei Fan. His religious rank is very low. His personal strength is very average. He is not very old. He is only in his early twenties. He previously led a group of militiamen to overcome a plague in Misha County. It is said that he is good at commanding operations. He is quite talented, and is widely rumored to be the old lover of Chen Wangyu, the new saint of the Dawn Sect.
Most people sneered at this resume. After all, many people have heard that the so-called talents in combat are just bullying some unthinking rotten meat. Nine out of ten people They dare to pat their chests to show that I can go.
In addition, in Misha County at that time, there was also Xia Lian Zhuye, a saint from the Shuguang Sect who was difficult to ignore in all aspects, with legendary strength. I even feel that the reason why the Black Vatican Priest stood out was entirely because of his relationship with Chen Wangyu, the newly promoted saint of the Dawn Sect.
However, the real senior leaders of the major sects did not think so. The reason is very simple. After carefully questioning the soldiers who had fought against the plague in Misha County, they found that the Black Van priest might There really are two brushes.
Of course, except for the Dawn Sect and the Justice Sect, which has always been loud-mouthed, the other sects are relatively low-key. They all block the news invariably, and then silently pay attention to the Black Brahma Priest from the secret.
As a result, Warrens jumped from the shadows to the light and turned the observation into a deliberate murder.
To be honest, the game was a bit out of the ordinary.
Although the United Holy Church is not a silly, sweet and upright organization, this camp that is more lawful and kind still has some There are many things that cannot and should not be done.
And using the hands of those evil god believers, those heretics among heretics, to murder Paoze cannot and should not be done.
In the end, Warrens did it. Although he did it very covertly and even now there is no evidence left, he still did it after all.
Then the Shuguang Sect, which had always been reasonable, became unreasonable.
The specific method is that His Majesty St. Ambrose personally went to have afternoon tea with the current Pope of the Sun Sect, and then organized a small discussion that seemed to be discussing the situation in the northern border, but in fact it had no meaning at all. meeting, and proposed the idea of sending his own Grand Knight Commander Green Tyree to lead people north.
His Majesty the Pope of the Sun Sect was the first to express his agreement, and then members of the Justice Sect, the Plenty Sect and other front-line members of the Holy Religion Union also expressed their support, giving great recognition to Saint Ambrose and Grand Knight Green. . At this point, the more official process is basically complete.
Then, Green Tiree went north to take over the position of Bishop Warren Culleni, and said that Bishop Warren had worked hard and had finally relieved his burden, so he might as well just Let’s go back to the City of Light to rest first.
Then, Bishop Warrens immediately expressed that he was not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and was willing to stay in the Northern Expedition to fight the heresy to the end.
Knight Commander Green just smiled and slowly said what he just said again. The only difference was that when he said it the second time, his hand was on the hilt of the sword.
The next day, Bishop Warren packed up and left.
The Lord Bishop was not slow in his journey. He returned to the City of Light in just a few days. Then he didn't even return home and rushed straight to the Cathedral of the Sun in the inner city.
But the moment Warrens stepped into the inner city, a slim and beautiful elf woman appeared in front of him, holding a cross as slender and slender as its owner.
The woman's name is Xia Lian Zhuye, she is 173cm tall and weighs 51kg.
The cross, called the Star Gold Cross, is 170cm long and weighs 598kg.
That day, there was a hole in front of the east gate of the inner city of the City of Light. It was so big and round that it took the priests of the Abundance Sect a long time to fill it up.
That day, the Golden Crown Priest of the Sun Sect, Warrens Kalleni, fell because he was walking too fast. He broke seven pairs of ribs, three vertebrae, eight wrist bones, four metacarpal bones, and five broken bones. A metatarsal bone and a scapula, if they had not been rescued in time by the first brigade of the Battle Sisters of the Dawn Sect who happened to be passing by, and sent to the large confinement room on the third floor underground of the Battle Sisters, their lives would have been in danger.
On the same day, Saint Xia Lian of the Dawn Sect went to the Cathedral of the Sun and had a long talk with His Majesty the current Pope, three Knight Commanders, six Golden Crown Priests, and a Patriarch. Sincerely expressed that although under the careful care of the nuns, Warren Bishop Si is not in fear of his life for the time being, but because the fall was too heavy, he may not be able to shoulder the responsibility of a bishop in the future and continue to spread the gospel for the great sun god. Please put the overall situation first and pay attention to the memory of Lawrence. While officiating, he did not forget to find a new successor.
And before leaving, he said.
"Your Majesty asked me to be tactful. I listened to your advice and came here to play tactful with you today. Now that the tactful play is over, I will just say a few more useless words. "
She was holding the cross in her hand, just standing there calmly, but there was a vast expanse of light behind her, and the air was echoing with the clearly audible hymn of dawn, its majesty even surpassing that of the huge tower. The sun-god statues were so heavy that their light was dimmed, and it was difficult for them to emit the slightest light and heat.
After a brief pause, Xia Lian's beautiful eyes rolled, she covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Please also pray to the great Sun God, hoping that my incompetent little priest can come back safely, otherwise, huh. ”
After the thousand lights dissipated, the beautiful elf saint turned and walked towards the door, leaving behind a piece of advice, or a warning, that sounded like thunder in everyone’s ears——
"Not only will the whole body of that Warrens be left behind, I'm afraid you will have to choose a new knight."
"Saint Xialian! I am considered a member of the Holy Cult, how dare you I’m not afraid to put down such arrogant words.”
The Orc Knight Commander Thomas Dustbone, who ranked second only to Jeff Harrington, stood up excitedly and pounded the ground at a faster speed in the next second. It hit the ground, and there was a small and exquisite little leather boot on top of its head.
Crack, click, click!
The half-legendary Knight Commander Doma struggled hard, but other than making the golden floor tiles beneath him crack into ravines, he achieved nothing.
"Can I understand that you just planned to defend that bastard who would not hesitate to send his fellow disciples to die, but also to the death of our little Hei Fan?"
Xia Lian said to Doma expressionlessly The knight commander stepped half of his face into the ground and asked lightly.
The latter, whose face was buried in the floor, was naturally unable to answer her and could only continue to struggle in vain.
"Your Highness Xia Lian!"
Ms. Yuna Hodson, the Patriarch of the Sun Sect, stood up, looked at Xia Lian calmly, and said in a deep voice: "We are all holy sects As a member of the Communist Party of China, when you act like this, aren’t you afraid that the goddess of dawn will descend?”
"Afraid, how can I not be afraid, so I said hello to the goddess before I went out, and she turned out to be... ah!!"
As soon as Xia Lian was halfway speaking, a golden thunder suddenly appeared in front of her Above the head, there was a thud, hitting Knight Commander Doma at Xia Lian's feet.
Except for the Sun Pope, the eyelids of the other leaders present jumped twice.
"Ahem, I mean, it turns out that the goddess actually gave me an oracle. What do you think the content is?"
Xia Lian, who knew she had said the wrong thing, coughed awkwardly. He made two sounds, then turned his head with a half-smile and glanced at the statue of Tisu, the sun god, which no longer emitted light and heat, and said softly: "Goddess, please tell me not to be impulsive. Just smash this statue and that's it." .”
There was a sound of gasping for air.
“Of course, the goddess can say this, but I definitely can’t do it. After all, just like the Patriarch said, we are all part of the Holy Religion Union, and I personally am very Respect the Sun God.”
Xia Lian. Shrugging, he removed his foot that was on the head of the great knight Doma: "That's why I came here to give you a warning, a small, insignificant warning."
Has light golden scales The Lizardman Patriarch sighed and sat down again.
“Oh, by the way, two more things”
Xia Lian clapped her hands and glanced across everyone's faces. The smile on her face became thicker: "Maybe you don't know yet, but that incompetent little pastor is actually related to our Dawn Sect's Luke Ti. There is a sense of fate under Philo's crown. "
The air suddenly became stagnant.
“The second thing is that Luke is still alive, and unlike me, that guy actually doesn’t listen to advice. Even when facing the oracle, he still has the same virtue, so I sincerely hope that you will not If you offend that little bastard, you will definitely retaliate. Otherwise, it will be a shame.” Exploded.”
