Don't call me evil god

Chapter 332 The Will Must Be Opened in Front of Me
The Church of the Light holds a transcendent status in the Kingdom of Reyak.

An exclusive territory with a high degree of autonomy;
The armed forces of the standing crusaders;

Broad base of believers.

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 super-level divine miracle can the internal environment of the Reyak Kingdom be kept stable.

How safe is it?
Apart from the periodic red tides of monsters at the border, many areas within the kingdom have not seen any danger or disaster caused by evil gods for 10 or 8 years.

At most, a few cultists would pop up occasionally.

After so many years of development.

From the Pope, to the small number of high-ranking cardinals, to the bishops of local chapters, and the most ordinary priests.

There are some more specialized ones, such as assistant bishops who assist in daily work, deputy to auxiliary bishops, or deacons who are responsible for certain matters individually.

This route represents the ownership of the church's theocratic power.

The regional bishop manages the daily affairs of the Church of the Glorious God and is regularly inspected by the College of Cardinals from the royal capital.

Increasing the number of local believers, finding more blessed ones by the God of Glory, or creating more income, etc., will all become criteria for being rated as excellent during the assessment.

The best ones advance, the worst ones retreat.

Regions that perform well will be rewarded, while those that perform poorly will be criticized or even punished.

As for the Crusaders who represent the military power of the church.

The Crusader system has only one responsibility, and that is to eliminate the threat of evil gods.

The most important of these is the monster red tide that occurs regularly every year.

If there is a small danger such as evil cultists causing trouble, the Crusaders will be dispatched after finding out the situation.

However, given the stable environment in Reyak, that is a low-probability event.

When the Crusader Army was first established, decisions on when to act and what to make were basically all made by the legion commander or the commanders and captains under him.

Now it is under the jurisdiction of the local bishop, which is the result of gradual evolution.

On the one hand, no one dares to give such a strong team of professionals complete freedom of action.

Today, they dared to massacre a village in the name of eradicating evil cultists;
Tomorrow they might dare to use the excuse that the archbishop has been bewitched by evil spirits and launch a holy purge.

Therefore, the current situation is that both sides are constrained.

The bishop of the local branch of the Church of the Light and the legion commander in charge of leading the Crusaders discussed the plan and timing of the action.

Even some larger-scale actions require communication and coordination with local governors.

And in this process.

The bishops gradually gained the right to speak.

the reason is simple.

It costs money to raise a crusader army!
If a professional who practices through normal channels wants to go further, it is not enough to just sit there and pray or meditate.

In theory, doing so simply increases the probability of receiving a blessing.

They are not like the Seekers of Knowledge who can learn divine arts once they pay in their destiny points.

In order to obtain blessings, various divine rituals and offerings need to be arranged.

The ritual materials cost money.

The daily training costs are an even bigger expense.

The training of the Crusaders is like this. The legion commander only needs to fight bravely on the front line against monsters, and the bishop has a lot of things to consider.

We can't just send out our entire army to attack every time something unusual happens!
Moreover, as the internal situation of the Kingdom of Reyak gradually stabilized, the Crusaders rarely had the opportunity to go out, except for the red tide of monsters.

Losing more voice.

Bishop Henry Tran was not completely indifferent to the disaster.

He did take the lead in arranging for the Crusaders to be dispatched!

However, the Crusaders went to the city of Ceylon instead of going to other places to provide disaster relief.

Bishop Henry Tran found a loophole in the rules.

This incident cannot be considered an "evil god threat" at the moment because the goddess of illusion has not yet fallen.

Now it can only be regarded as a precursor.

He now had a reason not to send out all the Crusaders at once.

"The situation has not yet been clarified. At this stage, we should of course prioritize maintaining stability 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 won't act, it's just that the time for action has not come yet!"

"Isn't this reasonable?"

……

"What the hell is reasonable!"

The Gold-Inlaid Tavern in Siweiling.

When the rich second generation like Petunia and Bacon heard the news, they were all dumbfounded.

"Wasn't Ceylon Territory fine last month? How come the evil god disaster suddenly came?!"

Especially Petunia, the leader of the group.

The followers of the Church of Seeking Knowledge did not hide the news of the impending disaster caused by the evil god in Ceylon from these foreign adventurers, mercenaries and the rich second generation.

Not only did I not hide it.

Even clear territory reminders were issued.

"The Ceylon Territory has entered a dangerous state."

"Due to the abnormal eternal night phenomenon caused by the disaster, please do not rashly enter the Ceylon area unless necessary, otherwise you will not be able to leave."

Pete Twain's first reaction was:
"My father is still in Ceylon City!"

"If something happens to my father and I don't go back, I won't have a share of the family property!"

This kind of monster outbreak, evil god disaster event.

The kingdom's nobles are different from the Crusaders.

They are not in a privileged position.

Although the probability is low, once a disaster occurs, they must respond immediately to protect ordinary people in the area.

They had promised this when they took the oath of enthronement that accepting the title would mean they would have the responsibility to work hard for the stability of the kingdom.

We can't just let you enjoy the welfare benefits of aristocrats without working hard, right?
It would be ok if he died in the battle against monsters. He would be posthumously honored and rewarded by the king after his death, and his descendants, if they met the requirements, would be able to inherit his title.

The kind that escapes from danger.

When the situation calms down, the punishment will include demotion from the title, paying a heavy fine, or even being sent to jail or even executed!
The punishment will not be discriminated against 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, you don't dare to resist, so you run away?

What's the point of your professional identity? What's the difference between you and ordinary people?
If such a small probability event of an evil god disaster breaking out really happens, the death rate of the nobles will also rise rapidly.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility and the greater the risk.

This is what Petunia was worried about.

In the worst case scenario, what if my biological father becomes loyal to the king?

He knows a lot about the situation of his 12 older brothers and sisters.

He is usually very friendly and respectful to Viscount Tostin.

Secretly, I wish my other brothers and sisters would die!
The unlucky person who dies will not participate in the division of property.

no way.

Viscount Tostin's farming ability is too strong, and he is too fertile.

Thinking of this, Petunia could no longer sit still.

Even if his biological father really died in the war, he would still watch the will being opened in front of him.
