This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 391 The Patriarch’s Application
After a simple rest, leaving Thorns behind to guard Anjie and Ge Lin, Lu Ye took Jialan back to the Republican Army's station in the hospital town.

The scene was still in a mess, and many people were organizing rescue operations. It seemed that Xiaobai and her two had buried many people in the hospital.

But what made Lu Ye a little strange was that he could see many people and vehicles organizing the evacuation.

The formation was scattered, the organization was incomplete, and a large number of weapons and equipment were abandoned...

"Is this...a rout?"

Jialan was also investigating with a telescope. When he saw the scene was in chaos, he nodded: "This looks like the leader was killed and the command system collapsed."

Lu Ye chuckled, at least it was confirmed from the side that it was Johar himself who they killed this time.

As for what will become of the more than 20,000 Republican troops, that is not his concern. Let the Patriarch and the Western Alliance peacekeeping forces worry about it.

Facts have proven countless times that no matter where there is a vacuum in power, there will be battles for competition and replacement, and the next balance will be entered in turmoil.

The free society imagined by those ideal anarchists will never exist. Although power and class will give rise to privilege and injustice, even without these, human beings' self-interested nature will only make the situation evolve in a more chaotic direction.

Lu Ye rolled his eyes, you are so quick.

Transforming back into Walder's appearance, Lu Ye smiled crookedly:
"Your Majesty the Patriarch, I am very happy to bring you good news: your commission has been completed. I hope that this cooperation can lay a good foundation of trust between us."

"Yes. After successfully killing Johar, the Holy Judge arrived, treated us as a demonic heretic, and gave us a hard education... But the result was okay, we didn't know each other without fighting, I think she was basically The church still recognizes what we do and the contribution we make to the diocese.”

Along the way, we passed through several towns and villages that were in the middle of a firefight, and we couldn't figure out who was fighting whom, but as long as we didn't cause trouble for them, Lu Ye would definitely not become a policeman out of self-indulgence.

What Lu Ye was embarrassed to say was: Because of the encounter, the group was almost destroyed.

After temporarily placing the girls in an underground shelter, Lu Ye returned to the presiding church alone and met the Patriarch and Sister Sandra.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the two easily stole a military jeep. No one stopped them, so they drove out of the camp in a dignified manner, followed the road back to the ruins of the nuclear power plant, picked up the injured girls, and drove back to Eitrag.

Sandra's face turned red all of a sudden, she lowered her head and muttered: "I... haven't had time to synchronize the situation here with Lady Anna. I didn't expect Mr. Walder... so quickly..."

It was already nightfall when we returned to Eitrag.

Ha, these two people really know each other.

It can be seen that the peacekeepers stationed at this time were all nervous, worried about the ubiquitous militants trying to invade the safe zone.

Only after accepting extremely strict interrogation by the Western Union garrison could he successfully enter the city.

The old man with a white beard was writing something at his desk. When he heard this, he raised his head, took off his glasses, and asked kindly: "Is the process going well?"

Hearing that the two sides were still fighting, Patriarch Kirill looked at the nun.

Lu Ye couldn't help but grin again: "If I hadn't met the Holy Judge...it would have been quite smooth."

The nun who had been serving each other next to her looked up in shock: "Have you met Anna?"

Kirill looked at Lu Ye without changing his expression, stood up, stretched out his hand, and expressed sincere appreciation: "Mr. Demon King's efficient execution is impressive."

Lu Ye shook hands with him a little embarrassedly.

He really said the title "Demon King" as a joke, why did everyone take it seriously! "So I plan to take today's train and leave Luxi. If there is anything else I need to do later..."

"No, I hope you stay a little longer." Kirill interrupted Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was startled, thinking that he wanted to confirm his victory, and explained: "I think there will be news from three parties soon, confirming Johar's death."

The Patriarch nodded, picked up another piece of paper on the table, and handed it to Lu Ye: "I have been confirmed."

Lu Ye took it and looked at it. It was a document similar to a news bulletin, recording the main news and news that happened in the diocese that day.

There are three lines marked with red strokes:
First, the Southern Army of the former Ural Republican Army active in the southern region announced today at noon that it would break away from the leadership of the Republican Army and act independently in the name of the "Second Republican Army" to continue fighting in the cause of rebuilding the Urals.

Second, there was a firefight between the peacekeeping forces in the Warren Security Zone and the local Republican Army. Although the other side's attack was repelled, a large amount of relief supplies were lost. It has been confirmed that more than 150 soldiers and civilians from both sides were killed in the crossfire.

Third, Ossa Port reported to the peacekeeping command center that it was suspected that remnants of the Republican Army had established a new self-defense force in the local area in an attempt to take over the security work in the port area. However, they had fierce conflicts with the local militia and the security situation deteriorated sharply. The peacekeeping force at the port The force has requested additional troops from surrounding areas.

Lu Ye looked at it for a while.

The Republican Army split so quickly!
In just one day, some people went solo, some rebelled, and some claimed their own territory.

"In addition, there are conflicts and exchanges of fire in many areas, many of which have not confirmed the identities of the warring parties. I think... they are probably related to your 'record'."

Lu Ye was stunned.

How do you say this as if he caused this situation?
Alarm bells rang directly in his mind. Although mercenaries have always taken the blame, you can't say that you want me to be responsible for this mess that no one can clean up, right?

Damn old man, if you want to blame me for this, I won't do it!
And wasn’t it already discussed before accepting the commission? Once the agent standing in front of the stage dies, either a new agent will appear, or the various places will fall into unorganized turmoil until the power structure is re-established, or these desperate people All the disciples died!
Not knowing what the Patriarch meant, Lu Ye said tentatively: "This... should be what you expected."

Patriarch Kirill smiled bitterly: "It's within your expectation. This is very consistent with your original judgment."

"So what you mean is..."

The Patriarch picked up another piece of paper he was writing on from the table, shook it, and handed it to Lu Ye.

"This is the application I intend to submit to the Pope and the Conclave."

Lu Ye was confused, you mentioned the Pope and the Secret Council, is this something I can see?
But he still took it and took a look.

After a long speech about the history and current situation of Shandong Province, he focused on the tragic situation of the war refugees in the Shandong area, and expressed his sorrowful expression of the clerical responsibilities and obligations that the Shandong Diocese should fulfill. Finally, he made a suggestion to the upper echelons of the Holy Church:
It is recommended that under the current special security situation, we actively seek the support of the Western Continental Federal Parliament, authorize the clergy of the Western Continental Diocese represented by Patriarch Kirill to form a Holy Church Protection Group, and explore the establishment of a regional management organization that integrates politics and religion to coordinate the internal affairs of the diocese. religious and secular management affairs, giving full play to the advantages of full coverage of local holy believers, and making efforts and attempts for the well-being of the people in Western Shandong.

Lu Ye looked up in shock.

Apologetic group? Integration of politics and religion? Regional management?

He knew there was a Papal State in this world.

But what Kirill meant was...

Create a diocesan state?
