Chapter 356: The Deceitful

By the time I completed my super zombie-level evolution, it was already a week away from that firefight.

Why is it called Super Zombie Evolution? Why did I think this choice would be zombie in the first place? Compared with riding a young girl and holding a young girl, there is probably only a young girl wearing and holding a young girl...... I suddenly found that I was missing a mount under my crotch, do you want to find another young girl......

"Uncle Policeman, that's the man!"

Ahem, forget about the topic of zombies,

The brawl of the gods in full view of everyone is over, but the withdrawal of the bigwigs has made the situation even more chaotic, and many changes have become obvious with the passage of time.

For the living, the victory of the "holy war" is obviously a good thing......

Yes, the Holy War, considering the status quo, the Bishop of the Holy Light of the Diocese of Bayer, who was stationed in the country of the mages, did not hesitate to take the honor of victory in this war on himself after communicating with the Pope, and in that unbelievable war report, the vanguard of the expedition of the Holy War actually crossed most of Bayer, and suddenly appeared in the west of the country and attacked the capital of the undead.

Well, I know that there are a lot of bad points, such as the fact that there is still an Archbishop of the Holy Light in the diocese of Bair, for example, he is obviously the bishop of Bair, but he ran to the country of mages, for example, the "Holy War Pioneer of the Great Spatial Transfer" who suddenly played the "Pioneer of the Great Spatial Transfer" without any news, and actually won a victory where he should not have been in ZĂ i.

In fact, this is actually very understandable, when the Templar Church was expelled by Baier, the local forces of the Expelled Templar Church finally chose to command the outside world, and the most suitable place to settle in was naturally the country of mages who did not have difficulty entering and exiting. Especially since the two sides were still at war at that time. An enemy of an enemy is not a friend. At least there's a chance to be friends.

No matter how they are ostracized by the authorities, the Holy Light faith is still the mainstream belief, even ordinary farmers will come to thank the Holy Light during the harvest, although I don't know what they are thanking the Holy Light for what they have done, of course, if they are unlucky enough to have no harvest, they will not forget to add a sentence of "this blind Holy Light" and "the Holy Light of the curse". Even in bad weather, he will say "this damn Light", though it is also unknown what the Light has done wrong......

Suddenly I felt that the holy light was very miserable, and this virtue of lying down and getting shot, reminded me of the government organs, whether it is the country or the race, it seems that from the day the concept of the state was born, the government and the state have more scolding and accepting complaints, whether they do it or not, do more or less, for ordinary people. Anyway, it seems natural to scold two sentences every day to relieve anger and complain.

Ahem, that's normal. In fact, this is a good thing for the Templar Church, shallow believers are still believers, and they can still provide them with the source of faith, and the praise of the Holy Light everywhere shows that it is deep-rooted, if it is a country with a normal Holy Light faith, when the Pope announces that he will hold a holy war against the lords and kings, I am afraid that the lords must first be careful of the large number of rioting believers in their territory, and the king must be careful of the assassination of the pious in the noble sequence.

Oros is already very powerful, he has been trying to eliminate the influence of the Holy Light since he succeeded to the throne, but after all, his reign is less than half a hundred, and there has been no replacement in a generation, if he really uprooted the Holy Light faith, I am afraid that even he himself does not believe it.

So it is this "church in exile" with the orthodox Bair Holy Light Church that has also caused a lot of trouble for the Bair official.

Originally, the mages who were not very interested in the Templar Church took in these Templars, probably the Emperor of Oros who was purely disgusting with Bair, but after accepting them, they did not care about them.

But alas, as the "heads of the Church in Exile" who were supposed to be walking side by side with the king, after the Nation of Mages ignored their dozens of requests for the army to crush the border, Cardinal Stephen, a superpower, should have been in a high position, but it seems that he has found that if this new news spreads in Bayer, and let the shape continue to deteriorate, his political career will come to an end, and he will probably become the shortest-serving cardinal archbishop in history.

The new news is that the Holy War Expeditionary Force has lost, and the Templar Church has lost the first war of this Holy War!

Yes, lost, when the war on the Western Front continued, the Holy War Legion that held up the crusade against the heresy of the Pseudo-Emperor of Oros, under the leadership of the veteran Gordon, who ranked seventh on the list of famous generals, suffered heavy losses on the Eastern Front.

Cause? In front of the furious dragons, with the help of a mad ancient black dragon and three ancient dragons, and under the invasion of more than seventy giant dragons, they were able to retain more than forty percent of their forces and successfully retreat, which not only showed that the dragon clan did not mean to kill them all, but also showed that Gordon was powerful.

For outsiders, it is difficult to understand the movements of the dragons, but for those of us who know the inside story, it is not difficult to guess the reason.

Obviously, the dragons who are now in a hurry have made a deal with Oros, so the dragons once again use their unique talents for anger and unreasonableness to slap the Templar in the face.

In fact, it is not wronged, the target of the "Holy War Legion" is the royal capital of Baier, and the entrance to the Dragon Realm is also there, if it is captured by the Holy War Legion, it can be known from some information that the Holy Church is dying, but obviously when the Holy War started, they did not know the possibility of that secret.

I don't think it's accidental, after all, the Templar Church's declaration of war was very sudden, and Oros's response was even more incomprehensible, he didn't seem to organize a combined legion specifically against the Holy War Legion at all, but instead devoted his energy to the attack and defense of Rainy Night City on the Western Front, this policy of letting the capital be attacked and not resisting suffered great pressure at home, but judging from the results, our "most noble" Holy Light and the "wisest" Pope were played by the heretical emperor of mortals, and Oros would rather his land be ravaged by enemy troops, The success is to force the dragon clan to make a move.

Originally, the Templar Church suffered this kind of loss, and victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so please start over...... But at this time, the westernmost front was victorious, and it was still the side of Aye, who had vaguely become the number one contender on the Holy Light side, which naturally put great pressure on the Templar Church.

However, in the two wars, there were "Holy Dependents" in the Templar army who pursued "Holy Dependents", and there were also "Contract Braves" who pursued "Justice Points" here......

This is not to blame the true gods on the Holy Light side for inaction, but for thousands of years they have been doing it, casually sending the true gods to interfere in the war between mortals, but it is a taboo that violates the bottom limit, and the Aye side also found that the opponent is the incarnation of the Titan before he personally took action, but mortals don't think so much, they only feel that the Holy Light side does not treat people as people, but the Aye side has shown its attitude, those adventurers who are showing off everywhere with their harvests and returning home in fine clothes are the most successful living advertisements.

"In just one week, one in ten of the Holy Dependents has opted out, and this will never work, and the faith of the local congregation, especially the devout who are still lurking in the territory of Bair, will be shaken! If the news of our defeat in the first battle spreads, it will make believers all over the world lose faith. The first battle must be a victory! Even if it's a false victory. ”

So, after making urgent contact with the church, and finding that he was going on like this, Cardinal Stephen gritted his teeth and made a decision, and a report of the battle "Our warriors have won a great victory under the protection of the Holy Light" was circulated to various countries.

The wording is very vague, what pious Holy Light believers in the Western Front to defeat the undead legion, expelling two powerful Titan incarnations, etc., in a sense, there are many adventurers who believe in the Holy Light, and the Paladins and Holy Light Priests are also involved in this war, which really can't say that he is lying, but on his battle report, it seems that he forgot the original protagonist Aye and the contract braves.

No one is stupid, and each royal family has its own source of information, but when the Pope insisted that this war report was the truth, many countries that believed in the Holy Light were silent.

As a cardinal archbishop who talks nonsense with his eyes open, Stephen is already destined to go down in history, and he himself is mentally prepared to be "martyred" because of this, he knows that even if the Pope privately approves of this plan, he will not admit it on the surface, and most of them will have to carry the black pot in the end.

Those who know the truth are laughing at the Templar Church, and many powerful people are ashamed of this behavior, but in this era, the spread of information among ordinary people is extremely slow, the grassroots people have few sources of information, and the official channels of communication are slow and inefficient.

In the eyes of the uninformed, it became a great victory in the first holy crusade of the Templar Church, and the loss on the Eastern Front was insignificant, but in the eyes of those in the know, especially in the eyes of the royal families of various countries, it became the expression of the strong and the middle of the Templar Church, and many careerists were eager to try.

The war between kingship and theocracy is endless, and jihad is both a challenge and an opportunity, and according to information from some quarters, there have been great powers who have demanded that their vassals expel the Templar powers, and while trying to provoke the Templar Church, they are also testing their response and limits.

Thus, this small war on the Western Front has undoubtedly become the best opening battle of this holy war, and on the one hand, he has become a lever to turn the whole world around, but on the other hand, it has turned into a sharp blade hanging over the head of the Templar, and it seems that it may fall at any time.

And when I got out of the customs, I couldn't believe it, so much had happened in just one week, and the important things waiting for me to deal with in front of me had piled up. (To be continued......)
