Chapter 355 The turning point of the war (Additional chapter, codeword attributes explode!.jpg)
After that, Luo Xiu, Hubert, Anthony and the three "priests" spent two days , completed the handover of church affairs.
At this point, Holy Deacon Hubert, who had completed the handover, was finally able to completely relieve himself of his duties as "acting bishop" and prepare to return to Songyuan City with peace of mind.
The time for his return to the main church was set for the morning of the third day.
And this time will come soon.
...
Red Maple City, in front of the Glory Church.
At the door of the church, Hubert, who was about to embark on his return journey, looked flushed. The fatigue on his face had been wiped away at this moment, and he looked full of some strange vitality.
And Luo Xiu, Anthony, Fran and other high-ranking officials came to the door of the church to see Hubert off.
It was like a hard-working social worker who had finally finished his business trip and was about to go back to the company to ask for financial reimbursement and make some extra money... Looking at Hubert in front of him, Luo Xiu complained inwardly.
Although he was complaining in his heart, there was still a look of reluctance and gratitude on his face, and he thanked Hubert:
"Thank you again, Lord Hubert."
" thank you for always treating me With your help, Red Maple City will remember you, and may the light of the moment bless you on your way forward."
At the same time, he lightly pressed his left hand on his right chest and bowed deeply to Hubert. This is" Bishop” is the highest courtesy to a holy deacon.
To be honest, he was indeed very grateful to this holy deacon.
Although due to some reasons, I will be particularly wary of him at certain times, it is undeniable that - ever since I was a Holy Inquisitor of the Sina City Church and applied to the Red Maple City Church to become the "Grand Priest Host", the situation in front of me was The holy deacon always provides himself with the help he can.
Without Hubert, it would have been much more difficult for him to reach his current position in the "Holy Court"... Luo Xiu was thinking and recalling this, and the gratitude appeared on his face. has become sincere.
Hubert nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his lips.
“Let’s encourage each other, Luo Xiu.”
Hubert looked at Luo Xiu and said:
"You are excellent, quite outstanding, Luo Xiu - I hope you can go further. I hope to see the day when you truly surpass me, even surpass the archbishop."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand. , Luo Xiu also stretched out his hand.
The two hands held each other tightly at this moment, which lasted for nearly ten seconds. Then, Luo Xiu watched Hubert turn around and watched him board the return carriage. .
The sound of "Quack, quack——" sounded, and the chariot gradually drove away, and soon disappeared at the end of the street and disappeared from Luo Xiu's sight.
……
Seven days later.
The Songyuan Diocese dispatched a secret envoy to deliver new news to the Red Maple City Church——
The "Knights of the Divine Seal" sent by Emperor Augustville have arrived in the Kuma Territory A brilliant victory was achieved in the final decisive battle on the battlefield.
The Empire finally recovered this divided territory, killed the nobles and Order Slayers who colluded with the Dark Principality, and declared the end of the "Bloody Declaration" rebellion.
At this point, the empire was finally able to integrate all its forces and launch a counterattack against the Dark Principality.
Emperor Augustwell also issued an order to prepare for the march. The mighty army assembled on the border has been rested and ready to march at any time!
This is an important turning point in the "Trial War".
In addition, there is other news coming from the diocese.
That was a letter written by Holy Deacon Hubert himself and brought to Red Maple City Church by an envoy. It was about two things. ……
Red Maple City Church, inside the Bishop’s Holy See.
Luo Xiu clutched a letter sent back by Hubert and read it carefully word by word.
The Holy Deacon had "shared" what happened after he returned with Luo Xiu beforehand.
Hubert wrote in the letter that after he returned to the main church, Archbishop Sid personally received him and praised him for purifying the "Heir of Death" and assisting the Red Maple City Church in resisting an attack. The achievement of another enemy attack gave him the highest level of holy gift that a saint of the "Fifth Path of Destiny" could receive.
——A "Level II authority"!
Hubert seemed to have been coveting this authority for a long time, but he did not disclose in the letter which specific authority he had obtained. He only expressed happiness and a hint of showing off between the lines.
Hey, I also have Level II authority, even earlier...
An inexplicable desire to win emerged from the bottom of his heart, Luo Xiu said something in his heart, and a smile appeared on his lips.
In addition to these, Hubert also recorded another thing in the letter, which is more important news.
According to the "divine revelation" left by Luo Xiu when he was in the main church, Archbishop Sid has secretly sent people to investigate, and indeed obtained important intelligence clues——
The "Holy Tower Theocracy" and its largest pillar of the Holy Religion, the "Primitive Sect", have indeed penetrated the empire to an extremely deep level!
The Theocracy has also secretly dispatched several psyker legions in batches to the border with the Empire, and is eagerly preparing for further actions. In order to prevent the Empire from noticing this, it even sent these psykers They disguised themselves as civilians and replaced the civilians in border cities.
It was also because Archbishop Sid specially sent people to investigate that we finally discovered these from obscure clues. At this time, the Theocracy's military preparations had reached a very complete level. It can be said that unknowingly, , the empire has once again slipped to the brink of danger!
However, it seems that the Theocracy is still taking a final look and is not in a hurry to dispatch immediately. They are still waiting for something.
With the advance warning from Luo Xiu’s “Divine Prophecy”, the Songyuan General Church, which learned of these in advance, has also reported these findings to the “Holy Court” and still has time to respond to the Theocracy’s backlash. Take adequate precautions.
"..."
The content of the letter Hubert asked the envoy to bring ends here.
Luo Xiu read every word carefully, his eyes became deep and there was a look of joy on his face.
In this life, the ambition of the "Holy Tower Theocracy" was discovered quite timely.
This should change something... Compared to the critical situation the empire was in in the last life, this time, the initiative over the Holy Tower Theocracy will be firmly in the hands of the empire.
And in order to truly achieve this, we can also do some things to add fuel to the flames...
Luo Xiu thought to himself.
If the plans of the Holy Tower Theocracy can be hindered or even crushed.
The empire's counterattack against the Dark Principality will be carried out thoroughly.
And I can also join the ranks of "Judgement", go to the "Fafnir City" on the border, and face the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" as soon as possible...
"..."
Thinking about this, the paper in Luo Xiu's hand had been folded into three folds.
He walked to the fireplace and threw the letter into it.
The bright flame jumped up instantly, burning the letter and its contents into ashes.
