Chapter 248 The Righteous Trial

"Do you know that such a decision may lead to the loss of many innocent people?" High Priest Hesiod said seriously.

"Then we can just do nothing and just watch the Shuangxiu religion grow and grow day by day until it replaces us. At that time, no one in the entire western region will believe in Pithia, and there will be Saturday believers everywhere." Hiro Dodd said.

"You're talking nonsense, you're scaremongering!" the oldest high priest Kekuon reprimanded.

"What we lost was Green Field, not Rocky Snow City, and the Arias family is not the Figueirola family. Even if Ilea joins that Shuangxiu religion, it won't affect the overall situation!"

However, Herodotus did not maintain his previous humble attitude this time, and asked, "Then why are we getting together today?"

High Priest Kekuon was dumbfounded.

At this time, the high priest Reeves also spoke in support of his disciples, "Everyone, this is war, and war is bloodshed. We are all children of the Silver Moon Goddess, and we have always been favored and blessed by her. It's time to do something for her!"

"You speak as if you are going to go to the battlefield in person." High Priest Martina said softly.

"If you have a better solution, High Priest Martina, then of course we are willing to listen." High Priest Reeves said unhurriedly.

"I still adhere to the consistent tradition of the church, and focus on attracting the noble lords in the western region."

"But haven't you sent your disciples to win over Ilea, and you have also done it yourself, offering her unprecedented generous terms.

"The church is even willing to create an honorary high priest position for her, and also promises to build a temple on her territory and pay for her to build the city, but how does she respond to the olive branch we throw?"

"Ilea has been completely bewitched by Merlin and the foreign god behind him, and has lost her belief in the goddess, and cannot turn back." High Priest Hesiod asserted, "We must teach her and Merlin a lesson. .

"Then contact other families and let them put pressure on the Arias family."

"High Priest Martina, you know how cunning those nobles are. Families that don't have enough weight are willing to stand up at this time and accuse Ilea face to face."

"So you are going to start a war to make the western border blood flow like a river?" High Priest Martina raised her voice, and she looked around her colleagues, "What if we lose?"

"Our number of believers is hundreds of times and thousands of times theirs, how could we lose?" someone said.

"The last time you asked Adele to challenge Merlin, you had the same confidence."

"It seems that we have some differences on this issue. In this case, we should follow the old rules and vote." High Priest Reeves suggested, "So... who supports High Priest Martina?"

"Count me in," High Priest Ke Kuon said, "I'm not afraid of Merlin and his Shuangxiu Cult, but I don't want to see war happen either."

"Your kindness is really a blessing to all living beings. Is there anyone else?" The high priest Reeves looked around, but he didn't see the second person who raised his hand. "Then it's the turn of those who support the war." people."

This time, four people in the hall raised their hands.

High Priest Reeves looked at his disciple, "High Priest Herodotus, what do you mean?"

"I abstain." Herodotus smiled. "You and High Priest Martina are seniors whom I admire very much. I cannot choose between you, but I will obey all decisions of the church."

"Little slick!" High Priest Reeves muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "But it doesn't matter, we have already got four votes, and the Silver Moon Church will launch a just trial against the Shuangxiu Church! It's time Let the heretics see our tough side."

High Priest Martina couldn't help but sighed when she heard the last sentence, but she also knew that she was powerless to stop this from happening.

The vote made by the seven high priests is an iron rule that no one can question.

And the High Priest Martina didn't think about obedience, or any other small tricks. The most taboo thing at this time is to have different thoughts and seem to be at odds with each other.

Unity is the most important thing, once a decision is made, everyone has to act around that decision.

High Priest Martina said to High Priest Herodotus, "Since you suggested it first, you must have a plan in mind."

High Priest Herodotus nodded, "After successfully slaying the dragon, Shuangxiu Cult's reputation among the people is now positive. It may not be easy to directly teach believers to attack them, so the key is to create a gap between the two sides first. The conflicts caused the believers to believe that the Shuangxiu religion is an evil party, and their existence itself is a blasphemy against the goddess."

"The means of creating conflict..."

"I've already thought about it."

"Then you will be in charge of this matter as well." High Priest Kekuweng said smoothly.

This kind of errand is not lucrative, and there are not many benefits if it is done well, but it is a lot of trouble if it is not done well. Ke Kuon is already old, and he only wants to live a peaceful life for a few more decades, and does not want to take such risks.

And several other high priests also had this idea more or less. High Priest Martina wanted to come forward, but she also knew that this aspect was not her specialty, and she could not do as well as Herodotus, so in the end she also This arrangement is the default.

Herodotus did not refuse this time, bowed his body, and said solemnly, "May the glory of the goddess drive away all evil in this world."

"May the glory of the goddess drive away all evil in this world." All the high priests echoed.

…………

Li Yu didn't waste the prestige brought by the dragon slaying, and recently increased the intensity and frequency of preaching.

Not only did they send a large number of Hughes to stop killing people in the green field, but they also went into battle in person to preach the teachings of the Shuangxiu religion to new and old believers.

In addition, the model village he built has come in handy now, especially in this cold winter. The airtight red brick walls and the hot kang are impressive for all visitors. Very impressed.

Cooperating with the proclamation that the female lord is about to convert to Saturday, the enthusiasm of the big guys to join the religion has also increased.

Li Yu looked at the Fifty Fathoms in his hand. In the column of Faith Count, it was less than seven days since the last harvest, and he already had almost [-] Faith.

He roughly estimated the number of believers in Shuangxiu Church today, and it is almost 3000 people.

It's a pity that most of them are ordinary believers, not fanatics like lizardmen, and each person can only provide a little belief.
