Don't call me evil god

The Church of the Radiant God has a transcendent status in the Kingdom of Reyak.

A highly autonomous exclusive territory;

The armed forces of the standing crusaders;

A broad base of believers.

The main reason is that they have a membrane.

Oh, don't get me wrong.

It refers to the barrier of [Past Glory].

Only with this super-level divine miracle can the internal environment of the Kingdom of Reyak be kept stable.

How stable is it?

Except for the regular red tide of monsters at the border, many areas within the kingdom have not seen any dangers and disasters caused by evil gods for 10 or 8 years.

At most, a few cultists occasionally jump out.

After so many years of development.

From the Pope, to the few and high-ranking cardinals, to the bishops of the branches in various places, and the most ordinary priests.

There are some more subdivided ones, such as assistant bishops who assist in daily work, deputy positions of auxiliary bishops, or deacon priests who are solely responsible for a certain matter.

This route represents the ownership of the power of the church.

The regional bishop manages the daily affairs of the Glorious God Church and is regularly inspected by the Cardinals from the capital.

Increasing the number of local believers, digging up more people blessed by the Glorious God, or creating more income, etc., will become the criteria for being excellent during the inspection.

The best will advance, and the worst will retreat.

Regions with good performance will be rewarded, otherwise they will be criticized or even punished.

As for the Crusaders who represent the military power of the church.

The Crusaders system has only one responsibility, which is to eliminate the threat of evil gods.

The most important of these is the monster red tide that occurs regularly every year.

If there is a small danger such as the evil cult, the Crusaders will also be dispatched after the situation is found out.

However, in the stable environment of Reyak, that is a low-probability event.

When the Crusaders were just established, when to act and what decisions to make were basically decided by the legion commander or the subordinate captains and captains.

Now it has become the result of gradual evolution under the jurisdiction of the local bishop.

On the one hand, no one dares to give them the right to act completely freely as they are such a powerful team of professionals.

Today they dare to massacre a village in the name of exterminating cultists;

Tomorrow they may dare to use the excuse that the archbishop has been bewitched by the evil god and launch a sacred cleansing.

Therefore, the current situation is that both sides are constrained.

The bishop of the local branch of the Glorious God and the legion commander responsible for leading the holy army will jointly discuss the plan and timing of action.

Even some larger-scale actions need to be communicated and coordinated with local governors.

And in this process.

The bishop gradually gained the right to speak.

The reason is simple.

It costs money to raise the holy army!

For professionals who practice in the normal way, if they want to go further, they can't just sit there and pray and meditate.

In theory, doing so only increases the probability of receiving blessings.

They are not like the believers who seek knowledge, who can learn divine arts as soon as they pay for their destiny points.

To get blessings, they need to arrange various divine rituals and offerings.

The ritual materials cost money.

The daily training costs are even a huge expense.

The training of the Crusaders is like this. The commander of the legion only needs to fight bravely on the front line against the monsters, and the bishop has more things to consider.

You can't just send out the whole army every time there is an abnormality!

What's more, as the internal situation of the Kingdom of Reyak gradually stabilizes, the Crusaders rarely have the opportunity to be dispatched except for the monster red tide.

They lose their voice even more.

Bishop Henry Tran did not completely ignore this disaster.

He did take the lead in arranging for the Crusaders to be dispatched!

However, the Crusaders went to Ceylon City instead of going to various places for disaster relief.

Bishop Henry Tran found a loophole in the rules.

This incident cannot be considered an "evil god threat" at present.

Because the goddess of illusion has not fallen yet.

Now it can only be regarded as a precursor.

He has a reason not to dispatch all the Crusaders at once.

"The situation has not been clarified yet. At this stage, we should of course give priority to ensuring that the most important places remain stable."

"As for other areas?"

"We can only send a small force to investigate the situation and take action after collecting enough information!"

"It's not that we won't act, it's just that the time for action has not come yet!"

"Isn't this reasonable?"

...

"What the hell is reasonable!"

The Gold-Inlaid Tavern in Xiwei Territory.

The second-generation rich people like Petwin and Bacon who heard the news were all dumbfounded.

"Wasn't Ceylon Territory fine last month? How come the evil god disaster suddenly came?!"

Especially Petwin, the leader of this group.

The believers of the Seeking Knowledge Church did not hide the fact that the evil god disaster was about to break out in Ceylon Territory from these foreign adventurers, mercenaries and second-generation rich people.

Not only did they not hide it.

They even issued a clear territory reminder.

"The Ceylon Territory has entered a dangerous state."

"The disaster caused an abnormal eternal night phenomenon. If it is not necessary, please do not rashly enter the Ceylon area, otherwise you will not be able to leave."

Petwin's first reaction was:

"My father is still in Ceylon City!"

"If my father dies in an accident, if I don't go back, I won't have a share of the family property!"

This kind of monster outbreak, evil god disaster event.

The nobles of the kingdom are different from the Crusaders.

They are not in a superior position.

Although the probability is low, once there is a disaster, they must respond immediately to protect the ordinary people in the area.

They promised when they were enthroned and sworn in that year that taking on this title is equivalent to the responsibility of fighting for the stability of the kingdom in the future.

You can't just enjoy the welfare of the nobles and not work hard, right?

It's okay to die in the battle against monsters. After death, you will be awarded and rewarded by the king. If your descendants meet the conditions, they can also inherit his title.

The kind of escape from danger.

When the situation calms down, the punishment includes demotion of title, payment of high fines, and even possible imprisonment or execution!

The punishment will not be treated differently because the other party is a powerful professional.

Professionals are used to resist monsters and evil gods.

Now the evil god is about to ride on your face, you dare not resist, you run away?

Then what is the use of your identity as a professional? What is the difference between you and ordinary people?

If there is a low probability event of such an evil god disaster, the death rate of the nobles will also rise.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility and the greater the risk.

This is what Petwin is worried about.

In the worst case, what if his father is loyal to the king?

He knows the situation of his 12 brothers and sisters very well.

He is usually friendly and respectful to Viscount Tostin.

He secretly wishes that the other brothers and sisters would die quickly!

The unlucky ones who die will not participate in the division of the family property.

There is no way.

Viscount Tostin's farming ability is too strong, and he is too fertile.

Thinking of this, Petwin can't sit still.

Even if his father really died in the war, he would have to watch the will being opened in front of him.

There are 4 more chapters in the evening, and the daily ten thousand will not be interrupted. Guozi will go to the airport to pick someone up and come back later to continue writing.
