The whole town has been reduced to a scorched earth.

When Bishop Howard walked up the hillside, all he could see was the charred houses and the earth, scattered rocks rolling to the ground, and the smell of blood everywhere. Originally, there were dozens of families living here, but now, there were less than one in ten survivors, and the lords who had barely escaped from the war because of luck or some other reason did not have the joy of escaping death at this time, but instead they cried and screamed and threw themselves into the charred houses, looking for the bodies of their loved ones like crazy. Some people didn't even bother to look closely, holding the bloody corpse in their arms, letting out a whimpering and crying like a beast.

This is war.

Seeing this scene, Bishop Howard was also in a heavy mood, and he made a gesture at the same time, signaling his priests to help clean up the scene and deal with the epidemic, the plague is most likely to break out after the war, and no place at this juncture can withstand the toss. Thinking of this, the bishop shook his head with a heavy heart, and continued to walk forward. This time, he began to seriously consider Jenn's previous proposal for the Templar to participate in the Klein Continental War, to be honest, before this, although the old bishop was a little moved by Jenn's proposal, and also submitted it to the top level of the Templar Federation, but he was still hesitant about whether the Templar Order should directly intervene. But now, having seen the trauma of the war on these ordinary people, he had made up his mind to explain to the Church hierarchy that it was the Templar's purpose to protect the people from pain and injury, even in times of war. Nor should they abandon their mission.

Thinking of this, Bishop Howard sighed. Then he followed the mountain road to the other side of the hill on the other side of the town, and quickly. Howard saw the young figure.

Jenn was standing motionless, staring gloomily at the charred town below, beside him, the militiamen piling up the corpses of the Shining Gold Imperial cavalry and preparing them to burn them down. Although this method of disposal is a little inappropriate, after seeing Jenn's cold face, Howard still decided not to worry about such a trivial matter.

"Here you are, Lord Bishop."

Hearing footsteps, Jenn turned around and nodded to Bishop Howard. And Bishop Howard returned the salute. Then he walked to Jenn's side, and looked with him at the ruined town not far below, the cold wind blowing, and the heart-rending cries and cries of the inhabitants below could be faintly heard.

"It seems that the Shining Gold Empire does have the guts, and I didn't expect him to do this."

It was only after a moment that Jenn spoke. However, his tone was hard and solid, and he was not at all gentle and elegant on weekdays. Before Bishop Howard could say anything, Jenn asked.

"My lord, if I remember correctly. The previous proclamation was indeed delivered to the Emperor of the Shining Gold Empire through the Guò Templar Order? ”

"Yes, Mr. Jenn."

Hearing this, Bishop Howard nodded, in the capacity of Jenn. Naturally, it was impossible to send any diplomatic documents to the Templar Empire, so the letter was originally passed on to the royal family of the Templar Order, and Howard also knew that it was a sign of the relationship between the other party's territory and the Templar Order. He already learned from Jenn about Passus' independence from the Skar Federation. Truth be told, the news came as a surprise to Bishop Howard. And he naturally understands. The political significance of a nobleman having an independent territory is only out of the usual prudence. He didn't get too involved in it, but just went with the flow.

But now............

Seeing this scene, the old bishop was also a little unhappy in his heart, although he and Jenn did not have a very deep friendship, but attacking the independent territory of a decorated nobleman was similar to giving the Templar a slap in the face. Perhaps the other side thinks that the Templar Order can't do anything in times of war? Thinking of this, Howard's face sank, although it was indeed a trivial matter, but the prestige of the Templar Order was shaken. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to convince the higher-ups that if they don't do anything about it, the Templar's sense of existence will become weaker and weaker, and maybe there will be no sense of existence at all in the future.

Under such circumstances, reform is inevitable.

"His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to accept my request..............."

Catching in the sight of Bishop Howard's uncertain face, Jenn didn't say much, instead, he snorted coldly and looked ahead again.

"But I assure you, Your Lordship, this matter will not end there......... What I want, did you bring it? ”

"It's been brought, Mr. Jenn."

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Old Bishop Howard took out a magnificent document from his bosom and handed it over. But then he frowned again and looked at the young man in front of him with some doubt.

"But I still don't understand, what do you want this for? It is true that the signing of the peace document under the witness of the Nine Saints is recognized by the Templar Order, but do you still think that the emperor of the Shining Gold Empire will obediently sign this document? Mr. Jenn, I know you're angry right now, but I want you to see the reality -- you can't just walk to the palace of the Golden Empire, come to the throne of His Majesty the Emperor, and ask him to sign his name on this Nine Sacred Documents. ”

"Since you think I can't do it, then why did you bring me the Nine Holy Documents?"

Hearing the old bishop's complaint, Jenn smiled slightly, and then he reached out and took the paperwork for a look, and then put it in his arms.

"If I remember correctly, the application for the Nine Saints document is not simple, and it requires the unanimous communication of the representatives of the Nine Saints, is it possible that you all think that I am just daydreaming? If that's the case, wouldn't that be interesting? ”

"This is only an indication of the attitude of the Templar Order, and does not say anything substantial."

Feeling Jenn's slightly playful gaze, Howard couldn't help but blush. Of course he knew that what Jenn said was the truth. But he wasn't lying. In addition to being a religious organization on Klein Main Road, the Templar Order also functions as a law firm and a notary public. Generally speaking. If there is any important agreement between countries that needs to be concluded, they need to sign their names on the Nine Holy Documents. This means that this agreement is recognized and followed by all the gods on the continent of Crane.

Of course, as lofty as it sounds, in fact such agreements are only useful under the protection of the Templars, after all, there are secret agreements and transactions between countries, and it is naturally impossible to sue the Templars for such things. Therefore, the Nine Holy Documents are generally used in negotiations between the forces under the Templar Order and other forces—to put it bluntly, it is just a contract agreement for a specific organization.

As Jenn had said, there was no hope within the Templar hierarchy that he would be able to sign a peace agreement with the Glittering Empire, but the problem was that Jenn was a noble and official nobleman of the Templar Order. Now that he has made this request, it is reasonable that he must also go through this procedure. After some consideration, the top brass of the Skal Federation finally approved Jenn's application and brought the peace instrument recognized by the Templar Order.

It's just that this is just like what Bishop Howard said, this just represents an attitude of the Templar Order, obviously, they are also annoyed that the Shining Gold Empire has ignored the Order's face so much, but due to the Order's long-term policy and laziness, of course, they can't deal with the Shining Gold Empire because of this trivial matter. Now that Jenn was going to continue to trouble the Empire. Then the Templars didn't mind pushing him behind his back, although they didn't know what Jenn was going to do, but if they could teach the Shining Gold Empire a small lesson through his hand, then the Templars would naturally not stop it.

Although they believe in the gods. But after all, they are all human beings, as the saying goes, Buddhas have three points of fire, and now the Shining Gold Empire is not only attacking the Skar Federation. He started a war without permission, and even defied the Templar's dissuasion and insisted on attacking the independent domain of a decorated nobleman. If you can endure this, it will be equivalent to being smoked on the left side of your face and giving up your right cheek for the other party -- no god among the lucky Nine Saints is stupid enough to give such a doctrine to his own followers.

So the Templar Order obviously didn't intend to put up with it, let alone ...............

I remembered the corpse of the half-demonized archmage I saw earlier. Howard's face grew gloomy. You must know that there was a grudge between the Templar Order and the Tour Law Society in history, and if it weren't for the royal family of the Shining Gold Empire to protect the Tour Law Association, they would have been swept to the garbage dump by the Templar Order and the Cultists as companions. And now, these damn guys are actually demonized in public?

If the Imperial Crown and the Tour de France don't give them an explanation for this, the Templar Order doesn't mind doing the part of the work that hasn't been done before.

But...............

Thinking of this, Howard was still a little curious, he looked up at Jenn, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Mr. Jenn, I beg your pardon, I would like to know how exactly you plan to get the Emperor of the Glitter Gold Empire to sign this peace document in front of you?"

"Like you said, Lord Howard."

Hearing Howard's inquiry, Jenn smiled slightly.

"Just walked to the palace of the Shining Gold Empire, and then came to the front of His Majesty the Emperor, and then asked him to sign this agreement......... Look, isn't that a simple thing to do? ”

"No kidding, Mr. Jenn."

"I'm not kidding, Lord Bishop."

As he spoke, Jenn took out his pocket watch from his bosom and glanced at it, then narrowed his eyes.

"It's almost time......... Then it's time for me to go, my lordship, and wait for my good news. ”

"What's good .................."

Hearing this, Howard was stunned for a moment, but before he could say anything more, suddenly, a gust of wind rising from the ground made him shut his mouth, and the old bishop involuntarily turned around to block the dust blowing towards him, and at this moment, the sky seemed to be much darker, and even the earth was shrouded in shadows. And when the gust of wind had died down, the old bishop turned his head again and looked forward—and his eyes widened in astonishment.

In front of him, a giant dragon the size of a hill was standing quietly, its head raised high, its pure white body reflecting the light of the sun. And behind its body, you can see it heavy, huge, and shimmering with an icy sheen, which makes people think of the terrible existence of ruining miè at a glance.

"It's ....................."

Seeing this, Howard was dumbfounded. He could feel the dragon power emanating from this dragon, it was an incomparably large might, just looking at the behemoth in front of him, it made him feel like a small ant worthless, if it were not for the firm conviction honed by the clergy, I am afraid that Howard would have been lying on the ground and trembling by this time -- and in fact, the militia and the townspeople had already fallen to their knees the moment the dragon appeared, and they looked at the dragon in front of them with awe, He grew up with a big mouth, but he couldn't say half a word.

"The people of Passus!!"

At this moment, Jenn's voice sounded again, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Once upon a time, we lived happily, peacefully. But the advent of war ruined what we once had......... No one likes war, and no one longs for it. I had tried to seek the path of peace from that Emperor, His Majesty, but now, the arrogant Emperor had made his choice. But the blood of our Passus people will not be shed in vain! I assure you that those who have wantonly destroyed and killed this land will be punished with the severest punishment. And my people, I will be with you!! Now, we are going to make our voices heard, and let the Shining Gold Empire understand that our concessions are not from cowardice, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, they will finally feel our anger and will pay for it!! ”

"Long live your lord!!"

Hearing these words, the people who had fallen to their knees before immediately cheered loudly. If it had been the previous one, what Jenn said would probably not have made sense to them at all. But now, when a giant dragon appeared in front of their eyes, everything changed. You know, it's a dragon! For these simple villagers, the dragon is the ultimate boss of almost all stories. And their lord is actually able to control the dragon! This has already shocked the people, followed by excitement and pride. They were convinced that in front of the dragon, the army of the Shining Gold Empire was not worth mentioning at all!

As Lord Lords say, now is the time to let the arrogant subjects of the Empire taste our wrath.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the dragon spread its wings and roared into the sky.

Behind it, countless huge figures followed, as if white waves were rushing on the top of the firmament.

"This ..............."

Howard was completely stunned by the scene in front of him, he just stood on the hillside, staring at the hundreds of dragons flying into the sky, and at this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind.

The Shining Gold Empire, I'm afraid it's going to be a big bad luck. (To be continued......)
