From Wangcheng Square to Dayangjiao Church, the prince passed three or four bakery sheds along the way, and around each bakery she could see similar arrays of pie eaters.

If it wasn't for something to do when he came out today, the prince was almost impulsive and went back to the palace immediately. Even if he risked his father's death on the spot, he would tell his father his true feelings, tell him about his current madness, and the whole of Yili. The madness of the people of Siwang City.

The raging anger made it almost impossible for the prince to maintain his emotional stability. The more he saw, the more uncomfortable he felt and the more he regretted it.If, if he had been more courageous before, if he had agreed to the hints of the Dayang Sect Bishop...

While making these associations, before he knew it, the prince had stepped into the church.

Several lords have already arrived. The church is empty today, and they are talking in the empty hall.The sound travels back and forth in this specially designed church, and ordinary voices seem to be infected with sacred colors.

"Your Highness." After seeing the prince, several people turned around and saluted the prince.

"Uncle Allen, uncle," the prince called out to the two he had a better relationship with first, then turned around and saluted respectfully to the third one, "Your Excellency, the journey has been smooth."

Duke Anthony nodded slightly as a response.Then he continued the topic before the prince came: "Your Highness, you came just in time. I heard that you have inspected your father's grain store?"

The prince nodded.

"According to your understanding," His Excellency the Duke pointed to the gate, "How long can those bakeries last?"

The prince thought about it for a while and said, "It's been a long time."

After all, it was a three-year reserve of grain.

"What if there are more people?" His Excellency the Duke said, "For example, if people from the whole Kingdom of Elis flock to the King City of Elis? How long will it last?"

The prince smiled: "The whole country? How is this possible? The lords will not allow this to happen."

The Duke's face did not match the prince's smile, his expression was serious.The prince realized this immediately, and at the same time put away the expression on his face, and asked incredulously, "Has this kind of thing happened already?"

"There are some, but it will definitely happen in the future."

The prince noticed an obvious change in the Duke's expression, and he asked, "What happened?"

The duke handed the prince a letter.

The prince took it and looked at it, and the first thing he noticed was the wax on the letter, and the seal on it was his father's seal.He opened the letter and began to read.

The content of the letter is very short, and the handwriting is scribbled, which looks like the style written by the father himself.There are still many mistakes in the writing, and he should be alone when writing, without asking the clerical officer for help.But the content of this letter is quite important. Combined with the bakery he saw just now and the duke's worries, it can be said that it was quite shocking to the prince.

In the letter, the king seemed to have anticipated the occurrence of the current situation long ago, and reminded the Duke, "I don't want to see the lord use any excuse to restrict the freedom of movement of the subjects."

In his letter, King Elis stated that he did not want it, which was both a respect for the duke and a warning.If it was other lords, maybe just an official letter from the affairs officer was enough to make them obey, but the king still maintained considerable respect for the duke, his close friend who fought with him in the world.

"When I saw this letter, I guessed what might happen to you. I was planning to write a letter to remind you on the way here. I believe it hasn't been written yet, but your news has already been delivered," the Duke told the prince. Said, "This meeting was originally intended to comfort you, but... Sorry, seeing the current Elis King City, I think maybe your inheritance rights are abolished, and it is not a bad thing."

Although the prince was conflicted in his heart, he didn't show anything, and just listened quietly to the Duke's continuation.

The Duke frowned tightly, and said his conclusion: "Mad King Elis...I have heard the name many times, but I have never taken it seriously. But this time...I still remember, the one who helped your father heal his illness What do those four look like? How did they cure your father?"

"Their faces are very different from ours. They all have black hair, black pupils, and yellowish faces," the prince recalled carefully. "They spoke languages ​​that were completely unfamiliar to us. For my father They used a very sophisticated instrument to draw blood for my father several times, and made a contract with the devil, and then every time my father ate, they would inject some kind of medicine into my father's body, and since then , my father can eat normally."

"Then do you think these people are real envoys? You know, the Dayang Sect and the Xiaoyang Sect sent top priests and doctors respectively to win your father's support, but they all failed in the end."

"No, absolutely not," said the prince firmly, "they are real devils."

"Is there any difference between a god and a devil?" The duke was somewhat disapproving of the prince's answer.

The Dayang Sect bishop next to him seemed to want to stand up and say a few words for his god, but the Duke turned his head and choked him with one sentence: "Master Bishop, it seems that I have contributed so much to the Dayang Sect Come on, can you give us a little peace? You've said enough for today."

The prince didn't hear the duke's contempt for the Dayang religion itself, or he knew it, but he deliberately pretended not to know, he continued: "These people made my father give up the kingdom and the people, give up his son and deployment, they bewitched my father , Said that the end of the world is coming, and you have to flee to the mountains in the south regardless of everything! This is not what a god does. If they are gods, they should save the world. Maybe they do have unique medical skills for diabetes , I don’t even object to my father making them lords, and even rewarding them with titles. But, to lose the entire Kingdom of Elis... my father must be crazy.”

"It doesn't matter whether your father is crazy or not," the Duke said. "The main reason I came here today is to hear a word from you. Your Highness, do you dare to resist your father?"

The prince raised his head subconsciously and looked at the Duke, who looked at him without fear.The prince subconsciously looked at his uncle and uncle again. They all lowered their eyes and looked at the ground without saying a word.

Obviously, they had already been persuaded by the Duke before he arrived.

Moreover, I don't seem to have anything to think about, a prince who has lost his right of inheritance, what else is he worth losing?

"I have no intention of rebelling against my father," said the prince, "but I cannot sit by and watch him fall into the abyss, and I cannot sit by and watch the whole kingdom of Elis fall into the abyss."

His Excellency the Duke sighed lightly, and seemed to be a little disapproving of the prince's tone, but he did not object, as if he had expected his answer and accepted it.

"According to your father's instructions, this time I brought not only almost all the troops and entourage in the territory, but also almost all the stored food..." the Duke said, "I thought he might want to use these to start a war , but after looking in the city, I found that this is not the case. Near the King City of Elis, there are already a large number of people rushing to the King City. They all heard the news that the King City has free food supplies. Your father has successfully ignited Once the fire is planted, it won't be long before this fire will burn the entire kingdom."

The prince worried: "The food in the treasury can last for a few months at most, if it spreads like this."

The Duke mentioned the important point: "If it was only your father who used the power in his inventory to do these things, I would not object or interfere, but now, in the name of the king, he has collected the materials and manpower of the entire kingdom... I used to disapprove of Dayang Sect and Xiaoyang Sect, but now I think it's time to choose a side. Since the king summoned us in the name of God, then we also oppose him in the name of God."

The prince was a little unhappy and said: "God is not just in name!"

The Duke shrugged his shoulders, and didn't bother with such small details. He only cared about one thing from beginning to end: "Your father's guards, there should be many people you know among them."

Thinking of the attitude of the chief guard towards him, the prince shook his head and said, "It is impossible for them to oppose my father."

"Don't think so badly of me, no one will let them object, I am a knight!" The Duke said, "We just let them learn to think, madmen are always scary, aren't they?"

"But fear also makes them more loyal."

"That's true," the Duke said, "They are loyal to your father, but they are loyal to God...I'm afraid that's not the case. Bishop, you can speak now. I heard that the Dayang Sect summoned them to Front Fang Fort this time." The Jihad army who rescued the siege did not go well?"

The bishop didn't want to start a discussion on this topic, but there was no way, the duke in front of him had now become their biggest support in the entire Kingdom of Elis, and even in the future, the entire Dayan Church could become the state religion of the Kingdom of Elis.

"Northern countries are unwilling to organize troops to rescue the siege prematurely," said the bishop. "They think it would be too laborious and inefficient to do so. They prefer to attack from the western front..." The bishop and the prince had discussed this topic before. It has been discussed many times, and the conclusion is that the Front Tooth Fort, unless it falls at the end and the Xiaoyang Sect's army marches straight in, the Dayang Sect will have the determination and will to resist.In addition, the entire Diocese of the Dayang Sect generally believed that the defense of the front tooth fort was indestructible, and there was no need to save it at all.After two years of siege, when their logistics cannot be maintained, they will naturally withdraw.It's better to wait for this period of time, when their elites are besieging the city, organize the jihadist army to march from the western front.Loot the opponent's rear.

Rescuing a castle, except for a little honor and gratitude, is of no benefit to the soldiers participating in the war. Looting is the best propaganda slogan of jihad.

"Finally, the king arranged to meet with me tonight. I think the biggest reason is to convince me," the Duke picked up a glass of cider beside him and drank it. "I really hope to be like your father." , to be persuaded by God in person, to fight for God, that must feel great."
