Chapter 332 The will must be opened in front of me
The Glow God Cult has a transcendent status in the Kingdom of Leyak.
An exclusive territory with a high degree of autonomy;
The armed forces of the standing Crusaders;
Broad believer base.
The main reason is that they have a membrane.
Oh, don't get me wrong.
It refers to the [Past Glory] barrier.
Only with this miracle of super-level magic can the stability of the internal environment of Leyak Kingdom be ensured.
How stable is it?
In addition to the regular red tides of monsters on the border, many areas within the kingdom have not seen any dangers and disasters caused by evil gods for 10 to 8 years.
At most, there are only a few cultists who pop up occasionally.
After so many years of development.
From the pope, to the few cardinals with high status, to the branch bishops in various places, and the most ordinary priests.
There are also some more subdivided ones, such as assistant bishops who assist in daily work, deputy posts of auxiliary bishops, or deacons who are solely responsible for certain affairs.
This line represents the attribution of the theocratic power of the Church.
The regional bishop manages the daily affairs of the Glorious Divine Religion and regularly accepts inspections from the Cardinals in the Royal Capital.
Increasing the number of local believers, discovering more blessings from the God of Radiance, or creating more income, etc., will all become the criteria for excellence during inspections.
The good ones advance, the bad ones retreat.
Regions that perform well will be rewarded, while regions that perform poorly will be criticized or even punished.
As for the Crusaders who represent the military power of the church.
The mission of the Crusader system is only one thing, and that is to eliminate the threat of evil gods.
The most important one is the monster red tide that occurs every year.
If there is a small danger such as a cultist causing trouble, the Crusaders will also be dispatched after the situation is identified.
However, in Reyak's stable environment, that is a small probability event.
When the Crusader Army was first established, decisions on when to act and decisions to be made were basically made by the legion commander or the regimental commanders and captains under his jurisdiction.
Now it has become under the jurisdiction of the local bishop, which can be regarded as the result of slow evolution.
On the one hand, with such a powerful team of professionals, no one dares to give them complete freedom of action.
Today I dare to massacre an entire village in the name of exterminating cultists;
Tomorrow they might dare to use the excuse that the archbishop was bewitched by evil gods and launch a holy purge.
Therefore, the current situation is one where both sides are constrained.
The bishop of the local Glow Theology branch and the legion commander responsible for leading the Crusaders jointly discussed the plan and timing of the action.
Even some larger-scale actions require communication and coordination with local managers.
And in this process.
The bishop gradually took over the discourse.
The reason is simple.
Raising the Crusaders costs money!
Professionals who follow the normal path of practice and want to go further cannot just sit there and pray and meditate.
In theory, doing so only increases the probability of receiving a blessing.
They are not like the believers who seek knowledge, who can learn divine arts as soon as they pay their destiny points.
If you want to receive blessings, you need to arrange various magical rituals and offerings.
Ceremony materials cost money.
Daily training costs are a huge expense.
The training of the Crusaders is like this. As long as the Legion Commander fights bravely on the front line against monsters, the Bishop will have many things to consider.
You can't just go out and attack with all your troops as soon as something unusual happens!
What's more, as the Kingdom of Reyak gradually settles down, except for the monster Crimson Tide, there are very few opportunities for the Crusaders to mobilize.
Losing the right to speak even more.
Bishop Henry Trump was not completely indifferent to the disaster.
He indeed took the lead in arranging for the Crusaders to be dispatched!
However, the Crusaders went to the city of Ceylon instead of going to various places for disaster relief.
Bishop Henry Trump caught a loophole in the rules.
This incident cannot be considered an "evil god threat" at present. Because the goddess of illusion has not fallen into evil yet.
Now it can only be regarded as a precursor.
He had a reason not to dispatch the entire Crusaders at once.
"The situation has not yet been determined. At this stage, of course we should give priority to ensuring that stability is maintained in the most important places."
"As for other areas?"
"We can only send a small force to investigate the situation first, and then take action after collecting enough information!"
"It's not that we don't take action, it's just that the time to take action hasn't come yet!"
"Isn't this reasonable?"
…
"It's reasonable as hell!"
The Gold-encrusted Tavern in Westview Land.
After hearing the news, the second generation nobles like Pet Twain and Bacon were all dumbfounded.
"Didn't Ceylon lead everything well last month? Why did the evil god and disaster suddenly come?!"
Especially Pet Twain, the leader of this group.
Regarding the impending evil god disaster in the Ceylon Territory, the believers of the Seeking Church did not hide it from these foreign adventurers, mercenaries, and the second generation.
Not only did he not hide it.
There were even clear territorial reminders issued.
"The Ceylon Territory has entered a dangerous state."
"The abnormal perpetual night phenomenon caused by the disaster, please do not enter the Ceylon area unless necessary, otherwise you will not be able to leave."
Petty Wain's first reaction was:
"My father is still in Ceylon City!"
"If something happens to my father and he dies, and I don't go back, I won't have any share of the family property!"
This is a big event where monsters break out and evil gods cause disaster.
The nobles of the kingdom are different from the Crusaders.
Their status is not transcendent.
Although the probability is low, once there is a disaster, they must respond immediately to protect ordinary people in the area.
They had promised when they took the oath of canonization. Taking over this title would be equivalent to the subsequent responsibility of working hard for the stability of the kingdom.
We can't just let you enjoy the benefits of a nobleman without working hard, right?
It's okay to die in the battle against monsters. After death, he will be awarded a posthumous title by the king. If his descendants meet the conditions, they can also inherit his title.
The kind of person who escapes from danger.
When the situation subsides, the punishment includes being demoted from the title, paying a high fine, and may even be sent to jail, or simply executed!
Punishment will not be treated differently just because the opponent is a powerful professional.
Professionals are used to resist monsters and evil gods.
Now the evil god is about to ride on your face, and you don’t dare to resist, so you run away?
So what's the use of your status as a professional? What is the difference between you and ordinary people?
If there is a small probability of an evil god disaster erupting, the mortality rate of nobles will also increase.
With greater ability comes greater responsibility and greater risk.
That was what Pet Twain was worried about.
Worst case scenario, what if your biological father becomes loyal to the king?
He has a very good understanding of the situation of the 12 brothers and sisters above.
They usually treat each other as brothers and sisters in front of Viscount Tostin.
Secretly, I wish my other brothers and sisters would die soon!
The unlucky guy who dies will not participate in the division of property.
no way.
Viscount Tostin's farming ability is too strong, he is too fertile.
Thinking of this, Pet Twain couldn't sit still.
Even if his biological father really died in the battle, he would still have to watch the will be opened in front of him.
…
There are 4 more updates in the evening, and it will never stop. Guozi will go to the airport to pick someone up, and will come back later to continue coding.
