Don't call me evil god

Chapter 363: The Radiant Orthodoxy is in...

After learning more, Captain Griffin was even more shocked.

"Are these people from the Church of Knowledge?"

"Heretical believer, he is better at using the divine arts of Radiance than many priests of the Radiant God Cult."

"Who is the heretic?"

When it comes to how to deal with heretics, there are conservatives and new factions within the Cult of the Light.

The conservative attitude is extreme.

They believe that heretics are a burden and a source of instability.

They should not be given any tolerance.

They should all be driven out of the protection of [Past Glory] and left to fend for themselves.

Anyway, the Kingdom of Reyak is protected by super-level divine magic miracles and has powerful professionals blessed by the God of Light.

Even without those heretics, we can still stop the invasion of monsters and eliminate any potential threats from evil gods.

The attitude of the new generation is softer.

They believe that heretics can also be helpful when the time is right.

The continent of Plantis is full of crises, and the pressure from the threat of monsters has been increasing in recent years.

One more companion means more strength.

It is not necessary to kill them completely. When necessary, we can temporarily accept them.

After all, people are free to believe in their beliefs. As long as the Church of the God of Light does better, there is no reason for ordinary people to abandon the protection of the God of Light and go to believe in those messy heretical gods.

It is both accidental and inevitable:
The Crusaders are mostly Newcomers;
The regional bishops are mostly conservative;

The closer you get to the border where monsters are eyeing you, the more new factions there are.

The closer you are to the capital, where the environment is safe and the order is stable, the more conservatives there are.

It is normal for this situation to occur.

When there is a red tide of monsters, the regional bishops do not have to go to the front line to fight the monsters themselves, so they can just stand back and talk without any worries.

The Crusaders actually experience how great the pressure of the monster red tide is every year.

If we can provide a little more help, it will be of great help to them.

The current Archbishop of the Church of the Glowing Light, Cardinal Eugene, is a typical conservative.

In the more than ten years since he took office, he has been pursuing firm measures to drive out heresy, which is also the current mainstream voice of the church.

He also issued the excommunication order for heresy from the Church of the Seekers of Knowledge.

Bishop Henry Trung of Ceylon was appointed by Eugene and was also a conservative in his stance.

Griffin is the opposite of them.

He is a new and emerging figure who is currently a minority in the church and has a weak voice.

therefore.

When Griffin led his team back to Ceylon City, he reported to Bishop Henry Tran on what they had found.

The two had a rather heated argument.

……

"I don't understand!"

"They are heretics, but at this moment, any power to destroy monsters is worthy of attention. Why should we drive them out?"

The Griffin commander asked with a red face and thick neck.

Because when Bishop Henry Tran learned the news, he didn't even ask any questions, but directly stated that personnel should be dispatched immediately to expel them and take over the town of Chim.

"Do you still need to ask why?"

Bishop Henry Tran was almost laughing at the other party's anger.

"My respected legion commander, without those heretics, you would not be able to destroy the monsters and eliminate the threat of the evil god, right?"

Griffin immediately denied it: "Of course not."

"We have solid armor, sophisticated weapons, and the blessing of the gods."

"The monsters currently in the Ceylon region are not strong enough to cause harm to the powerful Crusaders."

"But - after all, we are limited in number. With some extra help, we can eliminate the monsters faster!" Henry Tran tapped the table with his fingers, making an aggressive sound.

"That's the point."

"Assistance?"

"They are clearly here to seize the right to speak!"

"The monsters will eventually be wiped out. It's just a matter of time."

"The point is not how to destroy the monsters - but whether the credit for destroying the monsters belongs to us!"

"Look at the citizens of Ceylon. They now have such a firm belief in the God of Light and are so grateful to us."

"Over in Chim Town, do you think those lower-class civilians still have the Glorious God Cult in their hearts?"

"What's more, it's simply outrageous that there are lost Radiant believers among them."

"At this rate, are we the Glorious Orthodox, or are they?"

Griffin was so suppressed that he was speechless.

His thinking is relatively direct.

I only think about destroying monsters.

I didn't expect that much at all.

"Drive them away, they must be driven away!"

"You're taking advantage of the situation, huh? You want to snatch away the credit that originally belonged to us?"

"Not only should their people be driven out, but their belongings should also be driven out of the kingdom!"

Having said that, Bishop Henry Tran angrily flipped through the documents on the table and took out a report.

"Take a look. You may not understand other things, but this matter is definitely closely related to the Crusaders."

Griffin took the report file.

This matter is indeed related to him. To be precise, it was he who initiated it.

He applied to Bishop Henry Tran, hoping to get a sum of funds to update the equipment of the Crusaders.

His Excellency the Bishop said at the time that the church's expenses had been very tight in recent years and it would not be able to come up with enough funds in a short period of time.

But there is an alternative.

The replaced equipment is no longer directly sent back for recasting, but sold to earn extra income.

The Crusaders' replaced equipment will be put on the market and the proceeds from sales will be used to cover the Crusaders' equipment maintenance expenses.

This income can probably fill the funding gap.

However, the data shown in the report document is not optimistic.

Because the sales of the replacement equipment were extremely poor, they were met with a cold reception as soon as they were put on sale.

There were hundreds of sets of old armor in stock, but almost none of them were sold!
Only a few collectors bought a few sets for commemorative purposes.

Griffin continued to look down the report.

"According to investigation, the large amount of sophisticated equipment from the new territories established by the believers of knowledge seeking is priced even lower."

"The equipment market is close to saturation in the short term, and the prospects for replacing equipment sales are not optimistic."

Griffin's first reaction was:
"So fucking awesome!"

Because he saw that the so-called "new territory" was actually located in the dark forest outside the protection of [Past Glory]!

This was something he didn't even dare to lead the Crusaders to do, but he didn't expect that the believers of the God of Knowledge had done it.

No matter how long this territory can exist, whether it can survive the monster red tide next year.

But at least they took the first step!
It was only after his second reaction that he realized something was wrong.

The price of the Crusaders' replacement equipment is at a disadvantage, and they cannot compete with the standard equipment produced by the new territory in the market!

The money that the Crusaders should have earned to update their equipment configuration seems... to have been taken away by someone else?
