Chapter 81 Bishop Roland
On the fifth day after the Azure Cathedral was attacked by evil cultists and demons, Bishop Douglas Roland and Paladin Fred Felton of the Azure Cathedral returned to Saroyang City on a transport airship.
Although the Azure Corps stationed in Saroyang City had blocked the city's airspace, they still allowed the airship carrying important figures from the Supreme Church to pass. The Imperial Army was aggressive towards the Supreme Church in the city on the surface, but in fact it was also looking for a peaceful solution to this military confrontation.
There was no benefit in starting a war for the Vlomink Empire. The Azure Corps was not only responsible for the ruined Saroyang City, but also for the military intervention of the Eastern countries, and even for the situation in the entire Marcellus Province that was out of control.
The Azure Corps wanted to use military pressure to force the Supreme Church to hand over the hidden heavy weapons... This was the bottom line of the empire.
And the Supreme Church seemed to be sure that the Azure Corps dared not go to war, and put on a posture of strict defense and fearless death.
Under the strict supervision of the Empire Silver Wing, the airship guarded by the Palace Knights landed on the square in front of the Azure Cathedral. As the main battlefield for fighting demons, the square was urgently repaired, but it was still in a mess. The two archangel statues in front of the church disappeared, and the walls on the front of the church were also scarred.
At this time, the Azure Cathedral had completely entered a state of war, and the church knights used sandbags to build a circle of defensive positions around the church. The knights took off their heavy armor, changed into knight uniforms that were convenient for combat, and sat behind the bunker with alchemical rifles. A heavy machine gun position was placed on the curved steps at the entrance of the church, and a layer of light golden divine defense shield covered the heavy machine gun position.
On both sides of the church gate were ten groups of battle fortresses, with multi-legged mechanical legs all fixed to the ground, and a layer of sandbags was reinforced on top to stabilize the vibration of the turret when shooting.
The 100-meter-long church castle was also covered with dense shooting holes. Various artillery and guns were aimed at the imperial army that was confronting the church knights across the street.
Bishop Roland, wearing a black church robe, a bishop's crown, holding a copy of the Doctrine of the Most Good, walked into the cathedral expressionlessly.
Paladin Felton followed Bishop Roland from the side. He was wearing a gorgeously decorated knight's heavy armor, a knight's sword on his waist, and one hand around his helmet, looking righteous. After entering the church, Paladin Felton said to the priests and palace knights who had gathered around him: "All priest-level teaching staff and palace knights go to the prayer room for a meeting. Think about what you want to say. The bishop needs to know...what happened here."
Bishop Roland did not speak and walked straight to the prayer room.
All 14 priests and 10 palace knights of the Azure Cathedral immediately gathered in the prayer room.
After praying to the statue of the God of Light together, Bishop Roland turned to his direct subordinates.
The wrinkles on his face and the white hair on his head made him look extremely old, and the bloodshot eyes showed that he had not rested well in the past few days.
On the first day of the attack on the Holy See, he wanted to return here. But because the Azure Cathedral was in the hinterland of the Marcellus Province, Bishop Roland, who was afraid of being detained, did not enter rashly. Instead, he waited until the Holy See had communicated with the Vlomink Empire and was promised safety by the Empire, and then he rushed back urgently.
"The situation here is more serious than I thought..." Bishop Roland said slowly: "I want to know why so many silver wings and heavy weapons are used? You should know that our agreement with the Vlomink Empire strictly limits the size, types and quantity of weapons of the Church Knights.
What you have done... has brought a very serious diplomatic crisis to the Holy See.
At the same time, it puts the Azure Cathedral and our believers in danger."
Just as Bishop Roland finished speaking, a young priest said: "Your Excellency the Bishop...the attack of the evil side pagans and demons was very sudden. At that time, our Church Knights were severely damaged, and the remaining palace knights...could not solve the demons in a short time. .
The two evil-side pagans did not participate in the attack.
We don't know if the pagans have other subsequent means of attack, whether there are other attackers hiding nearby, and whether the attack they launched is aimed at destroying the church.
There were many believers in the God of Light in the church at that time, and we have the obligation to protect them. Moreover... as the largest church in Marcellus, if the Azure Cathedral is destroyed, it will inevitably shake the position of the Supreme Church in the Continent of Order.
Let the evil-side pagans have room to develop and let the false gods be widely promoted..."
Paladin Felton is in his prime, and the heavy armor on his body is like wearing an ordinary piece of clothing, without any burden. After the priest finished speaking, Paladin Felton said to Bishop Roland: "My Lord Bishop. In view of the special circumstances at the time, the Azure Cathedral has not dealt with similar incidents. On the premise of defending the cathedral as the first priority... Father Titus handled it decisively, although there were some shortcomings.
Even if we fight with the Azure Corps for this reason, it is much better than the church being destroyed by the evil-side pagans... "
For the Holy See, violating the agreement to hide weapons, or even going to war with the Vlomink Empire... are nothing. Even if they lose the war, it is only a loss of credit and reputation, and it will not have much impact on faith. But they will never allow the Holy Cathedral, which is so prestigious and influential, to be breached by the evil pagans... This is a stain that can never be washed away in the struggle for faith.
Bishop Roland knew that Father Titus did the right thing, but he still said worriedly: "But this batch of weapons was ordered by the Marcellus Council from the Holy See... If we hand them over, how can we bear the loss?"
Father Titus is the priest who just reported the attack on the cathedral. He was responsible for the operation of the Azure Cathedral during the absence of Bishop Roland and Paladin Felton. After hearing Bishop Roland's worries, the young priest said, "Bishop... this batch of weapons has already been sent by the Holy See, but the timid Marcellus Council has been reluctant to accept it.
The Marcellus Council will be more anxious than us if this batch of weapons is exposed. Now they are preparing to set up the Saroyang City Guard. If they really set up the guard and operate it a little... they can legitimately receive this batch of weapons."
Bishop Roland asked again, "How could the Vlomink Empire allow the Marcellus Province to openly have an army? If the city guard cannot be established, what should be done?"
The priest smiled and replied, "That is also the Marcellus Council's business. Anyway, the Azure Corps will not attack us easily. If the Marcellus Council does not want the buyer of this batch of weapons to be known by the Empire, it must handle this matter well."
