Richard's demands are still within the bottom line, Nei'an lost in the divine war, and the price of paying a part of the diocese is inevitable, even if it is his core diocese, it can only be said that Nei'an is unlucky. And Richard's words obviously did not mean to make territorial claims to the Redwood Kingdom, so in the whole thing, the most affected by the secular power system was the king of the Redwood Kingdom. But what does it matter whether the king of the Sequoia Kingdom is dead or alive? The forces represented by these emissaries would prefer to see Richard take all his anger out on the King of the Sequoia.

Many of the envoys had old eyes, and they sensed the difference from the last time from the type of troops that Richard had brought with him when he went out. The last time Richard was just a parade, with pure cavalry. This time, Richard led three times as many troops as last time, and the troops were much more complete, especially the reorganized hoplites. It can be seen that this time Richard is preparing to forcibly knock on the door of the royal capital.

Next, Richard did confirm the emissaries' speculations. He swung his army straight in, and fought a fierce battle with the royal army less than a hundred kilometers away from the royal city, easily defeating an opponent who numbered just over 10,000, and then approached the royal capital.

Richard, who had two archmages in the team, easily 'knocked' on the door of the royal capital again and drove straight in. This time, there was no longer Batu and his royal guards to obstruct him, so Richard was able to ride his horse straight to the palace.

What happened then, as one would expect, was in the main hall of the palace, where Richard slapped the king in the face and then summoned the House of Lords to announce the king's abdication and his younger brother, the Marquis of Ursas.

Richard didn't ask for anything more from the royal family, but went straight to the Grand Temple of the God of Courage. The speed of Richard's march was so fast that it didn't take much time to knock on the gate of the royal capital, so that the priests of the God of Courage didn't have time to react, and they didn't even have time to transfer the important materials in the temple.

At the gates of the temple of the god of courage there was another fierce battle on a small scale.

In order to stop Richard, the few remaining Templars launched a decisive assault on Richard, including many probationary knights who were still teenagers.

They descended the long and magnificent staircase of the gods, and with their faith and honor and flesh and blood, they smashed through the interception of Richard's followers, and their knight leader actually rushed in front of Richard!

The regimental commander himself felt a deep sense of surprise, and then roared and stabbed at Richard! He could almost imagine the sight of this sword piercing Richard's heart! How unbelievable that Richard was only a magician, and that such an important blasphemer should die under his sword?

Before the Knight Commander could continue to think about it, there was a muffled bang on his head, and then his eyes went black, and his body slowly fell.

Richard retracted the Destiny Twins, pleased with the hardness of the legendary staff. Not every staff can stun a senior Templar through a helmet without damage.

Richard looked around, and the remnants of the God of Courage priests were all shocked, and his followers were all taken for granted. So he smiled and swung the Destiny Twins forward, and the knights behind him immediately rushed up like wolves, knocked down a priest with three punches and two kicks, and then pressed them to the ground very roughly.

Richard strode into the temple of the god of courage, looked up at the glorious and majestic statue of the god of courage, and then called the high priest who presided over the temple and asked him to stand in front of the idol, and sent several knights to guard the idol with him.

Before Nei'an's divine power withdrew from the idol, blasphemy of the idol was a taboo, and he would become the enemy of the gods, even if he was the god of the three goddesses who were in fact already in a state of hostility with Nei'an.

Therefore, Richard will definitely make this superficial effort to the fullest, and appear like a god of the Faroh plane. In this regard, Richard can be described as profound. His former teacher, Theodore, could even deceive the god of Noland, and as an outstanding student of Deep Blue, it was natural for Richard to deceive the earth god of Faro.

Richard can't desecrate the statue, but that doesn't mean he can't do anything about Interior. At that moment he summoned a group of knights, surrounded the idols, and while he stood there loudly discussing with the high priest the conditions for ending the church war, he signaled that the knights could start searching the high temple.

These knights were all vicious and rude, and they dismantled and removed anything that could be seen in the slightest.

This is simply a blatant robbery, although it is also in line with the status of the victorious side of the church war, even if it is the loot, but who would do it as simply and crudely as Richard?

You must know that the divine power of Nei'an is still in the idol, and the god of courage who is high in the heavenly kingdom can see through the eyes of the idol.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the divinity in the idol was completely dispersed, and Nei'an's consciousness had been so angry that it had returned to the kingdom of God.

Richard smiled, patted the high priest on the shoulder and asked, "Is there a secret cabinet in the statue?"

Of course there is, this is the custom, and it is useless for the high priest to deny it.

In the secret cabinet, Richard unexpectedly saw a very familiar piece of paper, and his heartbeat was unexpectedly a little faster. That's a fragment of the Book of Bearers!

Richard did not expect to find the fragments of the Book of Bearers in this great temple. Such an absolute artifact-level item was actually not sent to the Great Temple of Courage, but placed in the Temple of the Sequoia Kingdom!

However, Richard immediately realized that the characteristics of the Book of Bearers would not be visible until at least two pages were assembled, and although the individual fragments seemed magical to Faro's alchemy skills, they were not very useful.

For example, the first page of the book that Richard got could only release a fifth-level magic, which was not much more useful for high-level magicians. But when the three pages of the book are put together, it is five seventh-level magic!

"This thing!" the Grand Priest screamed and pounced when he saw Richard take the remnants of the Book of Bearers. But Tiramisu picked up his giant palm and slapped it lightly, and the high priest easily slapped it to the ground.

Richard shook the fragments of the book and said, "This thing is my trophy, isn't it?" ”

"Well, according to the old convention of the Divine War, you are right. The Grand Priest gasped. The Templars of Courage, all of them were valiant and extraordinary, but the Priests were far worse.

The Grand Priest then stretched out his hand and pointed to a very ordinary booklet, and said, "Your Excellency Richard, this thing is of no use to you, can I take it with me?"

There is nothing unusual about the booklet itself, but it is placed in a secret chest inside the idol along with the fragments of the book it bears. Richard was intrigued, reached out and took it, and saw that the cover read: "Crime and Punishment". He opened it and found it to be a register of apostatists in the church, blasphemers outside the church, and those who were considered the most heinous sins by the inner security. Behind each person's name, there is a nuanced portrait of the crimes they committed and the outcome of their trial.

Richard flipped through the pages and suddenly saw a familiar face inside. He thought about it for a moment before he turned over this priest named Esin in the depths of his memory. It was the priest with whom Richard had fought to the death when he first arrived in Faro, and had snatched the first page of the book in that battle.

But what really impressed Richard was Essien's diary. It was a prophet of the future generation of Faro, but the arrival of Richard changed his fate.

Richard then looked down at Essien's charges and trial. The charges were for failing to fight the alien invaders, the temple of the god of courage fell, and the statue was desecrated. The sentence for Essien was a lifetime of hard labor in the Black Valley.

Richard quietly raised the roster, then put it in his arms, and asked the high priest, "Where is the Black Valley?"

The archpriest stretched out his hand to Richard, looking like he wanted to snatch the roster, but he didn't dare, and to Richard's question was that Nono didn't want to answer, but he was afraid of the consequences. Black Valley is the largest Jedi labor site of the Church of the God of Courage, and the composition of the exiles in it is extremely complex, and once it falls into the hands of the Church of the Hostile Gods, it will inevitably involve a lot of extremely troublesome things.

"According to the principle of divine warfare, I can add a few more corpses. Of course, it is also possible to reach an end-of-war agreement with you. Richard said lightly.

"Good...... I understand. The High Priest took the map and sketched a spot on it. It was a no-man's land in the Iron Triangle, and Richard knew the harshness of the natural environment just by looking at the location. I didn't expect it to be the place where the god of courage exiled blasphemers.

Richard took out the roster again, flipped through the pages, and said casually: "It's not impossible to want a truce." My condition is simple, the Church of God of Courage withdraws from the Redwood Kingdom. All the dioceses within the kingdom are under the control of the Three Goddesses, and after thirty years, you will be able to return to the Kingdom of Redwoods to preach and develop believers. ”

The Grand Priest listened, thought carefully for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

Nei'an's defeat in the Sixth War of the Gods must come at a cost, otherwise the losses are likely to be even worse than they are now. After all, no matter how devout believers are, they can't withstand the butcher's knife of the strong, and gods without believers will even fall off the throne.

What alarmed the church hierarchy even more was the oracle of the God of Courage, and in order to reach the conditions of the armistice, the bottom line given by Neian was quite amazing. The top echelons of the church, including the high priest, are speculating that this may have something to do with the loss of the two Divine Sons before and after Nei'an. can make the god of courage pay such a heavy price, which also shows from the side that Nei'an recognizes that the three goddesses have stronger strength. And this stronger strength obviously comes from Richard.
