A man in the ark was forced to become a king

Have beer and bread found new markets?

Although devout monks should not be so addicted to such worldly things as money, prayers cannot fill their stomachs after all... As time goes by, simple little nuns will inevitably be affected by financial embarrassment.

"It's Brother Sidjia, are you tired?"

The elderly monks gathered at the door also noticed the dusty little nun. One of the elderly female monks waved to Shi Dejia and rubbed her hair affectionately.

"Grandma Wei Ya, what are you doing?"

Xi Dejia put down the package behind her back, her big eyes full of doubts. She really didn't understand why the elders were so abnormal today, but they were still the same as usual when they went out in the morning.

"There is no need to go out to sell bread tomorrow, we have business to do."

Brother Wei Ya said this, and Sidjia blinked, becoming even more confused.

Business?What is business?

Isn’t their main business to cultivate farmland, feed tumor beasts, brew beer and make bread?

In addition, daily prayer and daily practice are also carried out all the time without interruption...

"That's what we have to do. The situation in the monastery will soon change. Before we come back, don't go out. Practice with peace of mind and guard our home."

"Oh……"

Xi Dejia didn't quite understand what she heard, but she would not disobey her elders' arrangements. Just when she was about to nod, she suddenly noticed that Grandma Wei Ya was also dressed differently from usual. She had replaced the nun's uniform that was inconvenient for movement and replaced it with a newer one. He was wearing simple clothes and carrying a bow and arrow behind his back.

Previously, due to the angle, the bow and arrow were blocked by the body and could not be seen. Now from this position, several elders are dressed in this outfit, and there are also daggers and daggers.

That was obviously not a weapon used for daily training, but a real weapon.

The young nun suddenly felt a little scared. Her intuition told her that there must have been a big change in the monastery, so that the elderly elders had to take up arms to deal with it.

Is it really... a good thing?

The history of Langdon Abbey is a compulsory course that every monk must learn. The predecessor of the monastery, the 'Langdon Guards', initially developed by accepting military employment.

But with the development of the times, today's Lateran no longer needs to hire monks from the monastery to fill the military vacancies. Even if there are always teachings about combat, the opportunity to actually participate in combat may not have passed for a long time.

Even if needs in this area arise again, they should be left to young people to handle.

But the reality is that the old-timers seem to be planning to let young people like them stay behind and take up arms again.

Is there anything that needs to be done?

You can't just feel itchy hands and finally get a chance and plan to go out for some fresh air, right?

Although the seniors were usually very unreliable, Xi Dejia didn't think they would let themselves go to this extent.

——Even though they have a "glorious history" of missing the commendation meeting for outstanding monks for five consecutive years because everyone was hungover, even though the bishop who is always napping often takes everyone to fish together, even though...

After thinking about it, the little nun suddenly felt that she was not so determined anymore...

"Grandma Wei Ya, what happened?"

Unable to figure it out, Sidjia simply hugged Wei Ya's arm, with an expression that said she would not let go until her goal was achieved.

Her intuition told her that the entire monastery, and even Rutland, might have encountered some emergency situation, which forced the seniors to take action. If she could not figure out the truth, she would never easily accept the arrangement of staying behind this time!

"Tell her, Wei Ya, children also have the right to know the truth."

The middle-aged Sakota, who was much younger than the others, sighed and wiped away the smile on his face.

"Moreover, they must be prepared. They cannot wait until they actually encounter the enemy without knowing anything about it."

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Wei Ya frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, she felt that this was the truth.

"We...are about to face a war, not just at Langdon Abbey, but throughout Rutland."

"A very terrible enemy has declared war on Lateran. His Majesty the Pope has ordered the gathering of troops. The Langdon Guards will not be absent. However, this is a problem we have to solve. You just need to stay in the monastery and wait for our return. "

"war?"

Shi Dejia's eyes widened, this answer was completely beyond her expectation.

How did Rutland encounter war?It is still necessary to assemble the entire army for war, which is not consistent with common sense at all!

This word was so far away from them. It was so far away that they could only see it in history books. When they heard it suddenly, they had no real feelings other than shock. They even thought, 'Are you kidding me?'

However, no matter how unreliable the elders are on weekdays, they will not joke about this kind of thing and the Pope's crown.

War is really coming, right before our eyes...

However, Xi Dejia did not panic because of this somewhat incredible news. Instead, she hugged Wei Ya's arm harder, as if to hang herself on it.

"Grandma Wei Ya, I want to go with you!"

"Stop it, this is no joke."

Wei Ya helplessly and dotingly rubbed the girl's golden hair, and comforted her softly: "This is not something you should experience. Be obedient and stay in the monastery before we come back. Don't go anywhere."

"Don't be lazy and slack off on your homework while we are away."

"No, I can't accept your arrangement this time!"

Shidejia shook his head like a rattle, without any intention of letting go, and retorted firmly: "I am also a member of the Langdon Guard, and I should fight with you!"

This reason is indeed irrefutable.

Because the girl's talent is indeed quite outstanding, she has already obtained the status of a formal member of the Langdon Guard.

After several improvements to the system, Langdon Abbey is very different from the past, but the predecessor of the monastery, the 'Langdon Guards', has always existed.

The difference is that the previous monastery was the Langdon Guard, but now, only monks who meet the standard of strength can be allowed to join the Langdon Guard. Each member of the guard has extremely strong individual qualities and has absolutely no combat effectiveness. Lost to other military groups in Lateran.

In terms of status, the still young Xi Dejia is actually the same as many of the seniors present. She is really qualified to participate in the military operations of the monastery, and if she insists on it, others will have no reason to exclude her.

"But……"

Wei Ya was still hesitating, but was interrupted by the chaotic footsteps coming from behind.

Shidejia followed her gaze and found that the seniors in the monastery had all changed into clothes that were suitable for fighting, and were carrying weapons that should have been placed in the warehouse. The one who walked in the front was the one who loved fishing the most in the entire monastery. The most unreliable and authoritative Bishop Langdon.

Standing together, these men are the Landon Guards.

Seeing this scene, the little nun couldn't help but feel a little lucky that she didn't come back too late today. Otherwise, she had no doubt that these seniors would leave directly after the assembly was completed and leave her in the monastery to look after the family.

They can definitely do such a thing!

In that case, wouldn't she be excluded from everyone?What is the use of the identity of Langdon Guard other than to be used as a talking point?

Moreover, for a warrior, being excluded by his companions when he is about to face a battle is an insult in itself!

Xi Dejia said he couldn't accept that kind of thing!

She is also a member of the Langdon Guard, why can't she join the battle?

Thinking of this, she took Wei Ya's arm and stood in front of Bishop Langdon. With a fierce face, she asked seriously: "Are you planning to remove me from the Langdon Guards?"

"Forehead……"

Bishop Langdon was stunned by the little nun's sudden questioning. He scratched his hair and looked blank. After thinking for a while, he seemed to understand what was going on. He showed a look of enlightenment and made a fist with one hand and knocked on the other hand. Palm.

Snapped!

"I've completely figured it out. That's what happened."

"How can you do this?"

"If the child gets into trouble and disobeys, just give him a spanking!"

Chapter 10 Reunion is also confrontation

"Your Majesty the Pope, all active gunners have been assembled. It will take some time to recall the retired gunners. The garrison is arranging for people to evacuate, which will also take time. After all, this kind of thing has not happened for many years."

Sakota, who had purple hair and a black dress, folded her hands on her lower abdomen and reported respectfully to Evangelista XI who closed her eyes and prayed.

"Well done, Villif, where are the others?"

Pope Evangelista XI did not open his eyes, and the halo above his head floated with an extraordinary light, as if he was communicating with something. The light fell on his slightly fat body, showing a few... divinity.

"The executors of the Zhongting Notary Office are distributed in various countries and cannot rush back in a short time. The same is true for the couriers from all countries. Currently, only a few executors and couriers have given clear responses."

"Langdon Abbey responded the fastest. They replied that they would immediately gather manpower and rush to the border to provide early warning."

"That's enough. Appease the people and use tough measures when necessary. Now is not the time to let them run wild."

The Pope nodded slightly. The current situation was almost as he expected.

The Atrium Notary Office itself exists to collect fees from citizens and urge them to complete various legal obligations. It is mainly responsible for protecting the various rights and interests of Lateran citizens. Its scope of activities is not limited to Lateran, but covers various countries and independent city-states. , the personnel distribution is relatively loose.

It is simply unrealistic to call back the executors from all over the world in a few days. Even if they get the order, they will not be able to cross the vast distances between countries in a short time.

After all, Sakota's light wings were not real wings and could not carry them to fly.

The couriers of all nations travel among the countries. The original purpose of their establishment was to make the connections between countries closer. Although the number is small, each courier of all nations has considerable strength, but they also have to face and execute They all have the same problem, that is, they are all over the world and cannot return to their home country soon.

From the beginning, the Pope did not regard the messengers and executors of the nations as a standing military force.

In large-scale wars between countries, the only ones who can play a key role are the Papal Knights and the Langdon Guards who use wheel guns.

The former is currently the strongest firepower output unit in Rutland. It is so feared in large-scale wars that even the Ursus Empire, which is known for its powerful army, does not dare to provoke it easily.

The latter is a civil organization with a long history. Even though it is now in financial crisis and gradually declining, its members still retain quite strong individual qualities, are very mobile, and are the best scouts and guardians.

In addition, each special service team can also provide regular fire support to supplement the shortcomings of the Pope Knights and Landon Guards.

As for the garrison responsible for patrolling the city, they are mostly used to make up for the lack of conventional garrison force in formal wars. They are more like police officers. Their main functions are for the people. Most of them are composed of young people who are still immature. The weapon used is not a gun, but a unified ax gun, which is not very effective.

"Then...do you want to get in touch..."

Wellive hesitated slightly and asked.

Regarding this war, all the information was obtained from Mostema. Until now, Rutland has not had an accurate estimate of the specific strength of the Golden Tree, let alone how this war will start and its scale. How big will it be.

The number of enemies is a mystery, and the method of attack is unknown. They are preparing here, but they are actually very passive. If they want to be safe, she feels it is necessary to contact other countries in advance, so that they can respond in time in case of events beyond their control.

"No, block the news temporarily."

The Pope had not considered Villif's idea, but thinking about the change in Mostema's expression when he mentioned that the leader of the Golden Tree did not allow Rutlan to ask for help from outside, he felt that it was better not to do that.

Mostema must know much more about the Golden Tree than they do. Her reaction confirmed the power of the Golden Tree from the side. Because of this, Rutland mobilized the whole country and used all its strength to rectify the problem. Arms preparation for war.

Taking the initiative to break through the restrictions set by the other party at this time is likely to suddenly worsen the situation and lead to a result they do not want to see.

What's more, contacting other countries has no real effect.

Lateran's two die-hard allies, Iberia is now unable to protect itself, and Syracuse is too weak to intervene. Other countries may also be thinking of reaping the benefits, secretly Intervene.

Since the leader of the Golden Tree offered to give Rutland enough preparation time and then have an upright confrontation, it would not be a bad thing for Rutland to let the situation go in this direction.

We will give you a chance and wait until you are ready to take action. Moreover, we are still relying on our own country and city to fight locally. If you can't beat this, then it is your own problem. The gap in strength is too big, and it is also wrong to ask for help from outside. useless.

"First send out some gunners to assist the Langdon Guards in setting up the defense line. You can go over and take command. Don't be careless. This time, we have the people of Rutland behind us."

"As you order, Your Majesty the Pope."

-------------------------------------

Compared with the desolate wilderness that dominates the entire continent, Rutland's land is much better. It has large areas of fertile land and vast wilderness, and there is no pollution caused by modern industry. It has a beautiful environment and a mild climate, making it very suitable for living.

There are no natural disasters or wars. Just like what the Lateran Church promotes, this is indeed a rare paradise. On weekdays, residents of Lateran often go together in twos and twos, strolling in the fields with lush flowers and grass, enjoying the warm sunshine. and the blowing breeze.

However, as the haze of war approached, ordinary citizens were arranged to evacuate collectively, and the wilderness became empty and dyed with a slightly different color.

Next to the large metal boxes stacked together, Shi Dejia, who had followed the elders to the border, stood in the shadow cast by the boxes, nervously warning the surroundings.

She took off her old nun's clothes and put on a dark blue dress. Generally speaking, such clothes are not suitable for fighting. The monks in the monastery probably understood this, so they made some improvements to facilitate fighting. , generally retaining the style of a dress, but adding a series of additional items such as tactical waist bags and arm guards that have nothing to do with dresses.

A compound bow that was too huge for the girl's petite figure was held in her hand. Its length was almost taller than Brother Shidejia's entire body.

Modern technology is changing with each passing day, and weapons must keep up with the development of the times. Langdon Abbey is good at using bows and arrows, so it has put a lot of effort into this aspect. Even if it still lags behind new weapons such as gun weapons, it is still better than the previous wooden weapons. Bows made of steel or iron are much stronger.

The special metal and carefully designed pulley structure allow the user to shoot more powerful arrows with the same force. The armor plates attached to the bow arms can be used as shields to resist attacks. The sharp impact angle also makes it possible to use it for long-range use. The attacking compound bow has a certain degree of melee combat capability.

——The price of this kind of modification is that the weight of the bow has increased a lot. The pure metal structure is enough to put ordinary people away. It is very laborious to even pick it up, let alone to set up the bow and shoot arrows.

However, the young monk Sidja can control it. Even though the bow is about the same size as her, it can still be easily held in her hand and moved at will. This is one of the reasons why Bishop Langdon agreed to let her follow.

Those who can join the Langdon Guard with their own strength cannot be regarded as mediocre. Sometimes age does not mean anything, and strength is the core thing. Although Xi Dejia is young, he already has the capital to participate in this war.

She insisted that Bishop Langdon had no reason to refuse.

However, compared to other seniors, the girl lacked experience, so she acted extremely nervous. She did not dare to relax for a moment without knowing when the enemy would appear.
