Chapter 236 Luke's Arrival

Lauren and Mi En are on their way home.

"Third Prince, I heard that if you have any doubts about the Lord, you can listen to Luke's sermon."

Mi En has been patrolling the construction site with Lauren, and he naturally saw Lauren's inquiry to the craftsmen. Based on his understanding of the master, he gave his own suggestions.

"That blessed Luke?" Lauren settled his footsteps.

Mi En nodded and said, "Others say that listening to other people's sermons a hundred times is not as good as listening to the Blessed One once."

Lauren raised his eyebrows and asked solemnly, "Then where is he?"

Mi En walked two steps faster at this time, and confessed: "Maybe in the near future, he seems to be coming to Matton River City to preach."

"You used to be a monk, Mien, can you tell me why Luke from Pope Island preaches everywhere?"

Lauren asked with a little curiosity.

Mien replied from memory: "Perhaps it is because he is preparing for a cardinal and preparing to put on the red coat. This may be the test given to him by the church, allowing him to spread the gospel of the Lord to all directions."

"I see." Lauren murmured.

For some reason, Lauren had a premonition that he would definitely meet Luke the Blessed.

And the latter will also resolve his doubts.

God is above the sea of ​​clouds, and as long as He thinks, He can hear and see everything.

Therefore, Lauren's thinking also fell into God's memory.

Chen Yi thought of a sage.

In an ideal country, there would be one king, who would be the king of philosophy.

Obviously, Lauren was approaching in that direction step by step.

Different from his father and his brother, Lauren is constantly thinking about the meaning of gods and people, using his thinking to explain the world, although he may not be aware of what kind of proposition he is thinking about.

God thinks,
That time will be approaching.

Days after Lauren took over Marton River City

On Marton Meadows, an old horse carries a man in a cloak.

In addition to the man himself, the old horse was also carrying the man's luggage, which was full of food and water.

As he approached the city gate, the man pulled the old horse's reins and pulled it away. He knew in advance that the guards would not open this gate for him.

The man pulled the old horse down the slope. Once the horse is old, the experience of the road is also experienced. The whole process is unhurried and very stable.

When the man walked in front of the city wall, there was a small gap. Due to the rugged terrain, the city wall at this place could not be closed. Only a door could be made, which was usually locked and used as a secret escape route when the battle was about to be defeated.

The man dismounted, walked to the door, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Not long after, the guard at the door slowly opened the door and looked at the man vigilantly.

The man took off his hood and looked at the guard with a smile.

He seemed to know in advance that the guard would open the door.

The latter fell into consternation and then stepped out of the way.

"Father Luke, Father Blessed. Why are you here?"

"I want to preach here, are you still willing to listen? Arius." Luke said slowly, leading the horse.

The guard named Arius nodded excitedly and said, "Father, you are indeed sent by the Lord. My mother has recovered from the cold after hearing your sermon."

"There is no one who is not sent by the Lord, Arius." The young priest replied with a smile.

The guard Arius nodded respectfully and carefully closed the small door in the gap.

Luke looked up at the towering church in the city. It was late at night, and all the lights of the church were turned off. The city of Marton River fell into a quiet night, and only the torches that patrol the city were left waving in the streets and alleys.

Arius looked at Luke, clasped his hands together, hesitant to speak.

He longed to hear Luke's sermons.

"Ariel, my sermon is not for you alone,"

Luke opened his golden eyes, looked at the surprised guard and said:

"Even if I tell you all the knowledge I have about the Lord, you can only understand a little bit of it. You can go to church in six days, and I will preach there."

The guard nodded blankly.

Luke raised his hand and made a ring salute, then stroked Arius' forehead with his hand, and left.

The Verdusan counterattack came very quickly, and it was foreseeable that the offensive would be extremely fierce.

Three days later, Loren heard from the sentry that the Verdusan army had crossed the raging river and was stationed outside the city.

After the sentinel described to Lauren and Duke Andev in detail what was happening to the banner of the accountant, the Duke's face showed bitterness.

"It's Ke'an of Alexandria, the Duke is a good siege player." Duke Andev said.

After hearing this, Lauren questioned Duke Anderf, and the latter also informed the third prince of the general situation.

"Kean is the best craftsman in his territory. This guy is more familiar with catapults than anyone else, and he and his craftsmen seem to have learned better techniques from the Deschanel."

At the end, Duke Anderf shook his head and said:
"It's a nightmare that people don't want to face."

The current situation in Marton River City is actually not easy.

The Marton River City had just been captured for about ten days, and the city wall was barely repaired, but it hadn't had time to be reinforced in the future, and the iron mine and the army foundry had only barely resumed work.

It is particularly easy to capture this city, but it may not be so easy to defend it under the onslaught of the Verdusan people.

Having said that, Roren and Duke Andev could only try their best to hold on, and when the king organized another offensive and smoked gunpowder in Verdusan's land, the enemy would have to accept the fact that the city no longer belonged to them.

"May the Lord bless you." Duke Anderf said.

Since Loren and other Leydon people had no experience in building fortifications, the defense of Marton River City was almost dominated by Duke Anderf, and the command of the defense in the city naturally fell into the hands of Duke Anderf.

In the direction where the Verdusan people attacked, there was a not-so-wide moat, and the only stone bridge controlling the river. Duke Andev built several new arrow towers on it. The guards at the city gate prepared oil and waited for the enemy. When the arrow tower was destroyed, the oil was poured on it and ignited to form a line of defense in front of the city gate.

On the plain in front of the bridge, Duke Andev also deployed slingers, archers, and spearmen for defense, and piled up various wooden fences and repelling horses to prevent the advance of the Verdusan people. This is another line of defense.

It can be said that in this short period of time, Duke Andev has tried his best to deploy the defense of Marton River City in order to completely control the city from the Verdusan people.

Facing this heavy defense, Ke'an of Alexandria quickly launched a tentative offensive.

In the middle of the night, the sky was covered with clouds and mist, covering the brilliance of the stars, and the row outside Marton City was dim.

Verdusan's vanguard infantry, carrying oil and torches, took advantage of the night to set fire to the wooden fence and horses outside the city.
