Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 108: There will be no more crying, no more mourning, and death will be no more
"Oh no! Lucas and his men are coming to attack us!"

Such a loud shout disrupted the joyful atmosphere in the church. The air condensed for a moment and many people held their breath.

The butler's power in the past was engraved in their hearts like a steel seal.

At one moment, many people looked at Gailis. After such a mass sermon, Gailis's position in their hearts had completely changed.

Even though many people may still be hesitant in their hearts, questioning whether Gellis is a real "prophet".

But at least Garys had performed a miracle of coronation out of thin air, and showed the holy marks to the people around him. There were so many people reciting the Creed and telling other believers about Garys' deeds.

In fact, most people in the church were skeptical.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Gerris's expression was as normal.

He simply whispered, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have come with a sword."

"Those swords are not for my own use, but to be given to you."

"If you do not use the sword to completely cleanse the tyranny and sin on earth, then the Day of Judgment of the Lord will be far away, and the creation of the new heaven and the new earth will be further away from you."

"If you want to be your own masters and pay homage only to my Father, then you have no choice but to drive out the demons that hinder the Gospel."

"All sinners who have disobeyed the revelation of my Father and to whom Christ cannot convert them must be destroyed without any pardon..."

With a clang, a long sword fell from somewhere and landed on the floor of the middle aisle of the church.

The sound of stone and iron clashing broke the silence in the church.

"The right to wield the sword is not limited to knights, but belongs to everyone."

Temptation? No, it is pointing out a path, a path that is destined to be stained with blood and dye the earth red.

Garys did not force these believers. He signaled Simon and Charlie not to be impatient. Garys was waiting for someone to voluntarily pick up the sword.

【You should be tolerant of your brothers who are weak in faith, and do not argue over different opinions. 】

——Romans 14:1
Gellis always agrees on one thing: beliefs are not imposed on others, but to let people know that the road ahead is difficult, and still be willing to grasp the thorns and climb the cliff.

When the man holding the sword climbs up the cliff, covered in wounds and grasping the thorns, the man standing on the cliff will have no way to retreat...

As time passed, believers in the church kept whispering to each other.

Until someone Garys had not expected stepped forward and picked up the sword in public.

A farm girl, with a slender and slim figure, a slightly childish face, and natural brown hair that falls softly on her shoulders.

It was this girl who squeezed out from the bench, bent down and picked up the sword under the questioning gazes of the people around her.

Gailis was silent for a moment. There was a familiar figure in the girl's eyes and eyebrows. It was Jacques's sister Emma.

Now, she has chosen the same path as her brother.

Gailis lowered his eyelids slightly and said nothing more, but just walked towards the church door.

As he passed Emma, ​​he gently patted the girl's shoulder and still said nothing.

When Gellis arrived at the church gate, behind him were hundreds of people standing up in the church, and in front of him was a rotten wooden door.

With a slight effort, accompanied by a creaking sound, Gailis pushed open the door facing the east.

The morning sunlight poured in like a torrent, instantly filling the entire church.

The dazzling light sprinkled on every corner, dispelling all shadows, as if even time had stopped in this light.

The soft golden light not only illuminated the church, but also made Gary Simpson transcendent.

The crown of thorns on his head seemed to be elevated to holiness in this glory.

The prophet took a step towards the world of light. Emma, ​​who didn't know how to hold the sword, followed closely behind him, followed by Simon, Charlie and others, and finally all the believers in the church.

These people followed in Garys’ footsteps and stepped into the new heaven and new earth together, facing the light.

Behold, the tabernacle of the Lord is with men, and God himself will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

There will be no more crying or mourning, and death will be no more; old things have passed away, and all things are new…

——Revelation 21:3-4
……

The morning dew has long dried up, and the chirping of insects rises from the weeds. Autumn has arrived, and the noisy guys in the summer will not be able to jump around for much longer.

These insects try their best to keep the summer, but they cannot resist the cycle of the four seasons. They can only drink more, eat more, lay more eggs, and wait for the arrival of another summer.

The insects had no idea what was happening above their heads. It was a confrontation between two groups of giants. One group was very aggressive, with ten people, some of them were carrying swords and clubs, and some were wearing armor and holding weapons. The other group was even more amazing, with more than two hundred people pouring out of the stone house.

The power comparison on the field seemed clear at a glance, but in the eyes of Butler Lucas, it meant nothing.

Behind him, four out of ten men were wearing armor and holding swords, shields and crossbows, while in front of him, there was just a group of unarmed people.

What's more, Butler Lucas was appointed by Leonard himself and represents the authority of the Supreme Being in this territory.

What does Lucas have to be afraid of? He should be fearless.

As for the guy in front of him who was inciting the free people, he was not as amazing as Father Gabriel said. He walked out without any weapons in his hands, wearing a "crown of thorns" on his head, really thinking he was Jesus.

You know, even Jesus, when facing Roman soldiers, did not choose to resist, but allowed himself to be taken away.

Garys looked at Lucas, a man in his thirties, tall and straight, living a life of luxury, and it was clear that he had never worked in the fields.

People like this have to rely on others for food and clothing. They don't know how to live without servants. They only know how to calculate carefully and plot to harm their compatriots.

"You came out with swords and clubs to arrest me, are you trying to catch a robber? I was just sitting in the church today and teaching."

Lucas had little knowledge and could not figure out what Gillis was implying, so he naturally could not continue with the rest of the conversation.

He shouted directly: "Today's matter has nothing to do with you. Just hand over the foreigner. I won't report to the lord."

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the field. No one responded to Lucas' words, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

What made him even more uneasy was that Emma, ​​Simon, Charlie and others not only did not push Garys out, but instead took the initiative to protect Garys.

They expressed their intentions with their actions.

Lucas's face darkened. This was the first time someone in the manor resisted his authority.

"Lord Reynard's castle is only a day's journey from here. Those ruthless knights can get there in half a day. When that happens, they won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

Lucas' words finally set off a round of whispers among the free people.

Knights, Reynard's knights... they kill without blinking an eye.

There have been too many cases that can be confirmed.

When the free people behind Gailis thought of the atrocities committed by the knights in the past, some of them trembled and their legs shook.

"Charlie, Simon, you two should step aside. As for Emma, ​​you'd better put away your sword. You don't know how to use it yet, so don't hurt yourself. If you want to learn, go back to Charlie."

Gailis said this, pushed the person next to him aside, and walked out of the crowd. Then he turned sideways and said to the person next to him: "My brother Jesus, it was the same scene at the beginning, but at that time, he said that he could invite more than twelve legions of angels, which is about 60,000 angels."

"Compared to my brother, I am no match for him. I can't even invite an angel. Besides, he is a good person who can't bear to see others suffer. But I am different. I can neither invite angels to help me nor do I need angels to descend to earth."

Garys' words persuaded the people around him. He spread his hands to Lucas, indicating that the other party could come up and arrest him.

Although he didn't understand what Garys was saying, seeing that Garys was sensible, Lucas personally led his men forward to tie up Garys.

But before tying him up, the butler saw that Garys was in tatters all over, but pretending to be a ghost with a crown of thorns on his head. He was so angry that he slapped Garys on the right face.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound was heard, and before the slap hit Garys' face, Lucas was kicked away.

Lucas, who got up from the ground, was already furious. His pupils were constricted and bloodshot, and several blue veins appeared on his forehead.

He felt like he was being played!

"Go! Catch that guy for me!"

However, none of the thugs around Butler Lucas moved.

Behind Gellis, more than two hundred free people were watching their group.

Unlike the brainless Lucas, the thugs under his command have already felt the anger in the eyes of the people behind Garys, and the reason why those people did not speak was because this was the calm before the storm.

They are quite happy to let these thugs use their numbers to bully the minority, but now, which side has more and which side has less?

It's just a few bucks a month, there's no need to risk your life.

Even though these free people are unarmed now, everyone has an axe or a spear at home. If they really provoke these people, they will probably be trampled to death by the cavalry!

Seeing that the thugs around him were unwilling to take action, the butler Lucas, who was already blinded by karma, directly snatched a crossbow from the hand of a guard next to him.

In front of more than 200 people, he shot an arrow at Gairis, but Gairis did not dodge...
