Chapter 478： siege (1/2)

The long siege is the biggest blow to morale and cohesiveness. This is true for anyone who is even an original church and a firm church.

In a stable situation and no major differences of interests, the church can maintain a balance and unity within the church. Although there are many factions inside and outside the cathedral, there are big or small interests between the various officials and priests. But at least everyone will see that the unity of the face of the church compatriots is simply to give the Holy Light a face. What contradictions do you have to get on the table, and do not affect the overall interests of the church.

However, after the church has no interest, and even the church itself has become the cause of the threat, the apparent unity will split from the inside out.

Not everyone supports the order from the plains of the Holy Spirit. Although the former Southern Bishop Leymont has the highest authority in the Luan Cathedral, it does not make the parish of all the sacred priests as the kingdom of the kingdom. From the beginning, there have been a lot of hidden dangers of internal division.

Local priests have always contradicted the command from the plains of the Holy Spirit. In the past two years, the newly promoted priests who have been promoted to expand the influence of the parish have had friction with the veterans in the cathedral. The lower priests hope to stay away from the center of the church. The land has more autonomy, and the upper-level priests are always worried that the rural priests who are “barbaric, rude, and lacking civilized education” are free to preach and falsify the classics. Among them, there are more conscientious priests in the church for the last two years. The worse the behavior is full of conflict...

In the case of contradictions, the former Southern Bishop Leymont took almost all the top forces in the church to participate in the war against the Cecil family, which is actually a helpless move.

If you can defeat the oldest family on this land in this war and gain greater prestige in the combined forces of more than forty aristocrats, then the Bishop of Leymont will undoubtedly greatly consolidate his presence in this parish. Status, most of the undercurrents in the Luan Cathedral will be calmed down. If it is not a group of fairy players in Cecil, his success rate is still very high.

Unfortunately, he failed.

His failure even led to the entire southern church standing on the opposite side of the Principality of Cecil, and the Holy Light faith was in danger of being forcibly eradicated on this land.

The priests who did not support the action of the Bishop of Leymont were naturally resentful, and because Leymont was born in the plain of the Holy Spirit, a large number of local priests also fluctuated, and as the situation in Luan became worse and worse, the supply of materials was insufficient. The haze began to emerge, and the order in the outer city was worse every day. A lot of the bottom priests also accumulated huge grievances: they couldn’t get their families to the inner city like the high-ranking priests, even they themselves lived and The chaos of the outer city adjacent to the "small church area" has inevitably affected them and is becoming more and more serious...

The leaflets that flowed into the city at this festival undoubtedly exacerbated the deterioration of all situations.

Almost everyone can think of this as a "conspiracy" by the Cecils. But what about it? Is it a fake on the leaflet?

The upper level holds the right of classical interpretation. The middle-level priests use the redemption money to gather a large amount of wealth. The archbishops of the Holy Spirit Plain are full of fat in the rich land, but they are arrogant about the difficult southern situation. Now the accident is over, the bishop is dead, a large group The Holy See Knight also died. The enraged Cecils blocked the entire church. The result was that everyone in the church should bear the burden of not being angry.

Bishop Franberger gloomy, and the printed matter in his hand was lumped together, burning it into ashes with the Holy Light, and his brain was flying fast.

These propaganda materials of the Cecils are rough in words, but what is fatal is that the contents are almost all true.

As long as they are in close contact with the Church of the Light, those who have a little access to the circle of priests can see the authenticity of these contents.

These things are secretly spread, and there should be no way to spread the whole city in four days... so these things must be stopped immediately to continue to ferment.

He looked at the priest in front of him: "I will immediately inform the Discipline Corps, collect all the pamphlets that are spread between the churches, and let the exiled knights and the church knights go to the outer city and go door-to-door. Anyone, no matter what Reasons for holding such a booklet must be turned over immediately. If they refuse to hand over, they will be dealt with by heresy."

"Yes."

“In addition,” Franberry added, “If there is a positive surrender, or report a hidden person, reward the ration.”

The Holy See knights of Luan Cathedral and the exiled knights who rushed to this place quickly launched their actions.

The gate of the church area, which was closed for a long time, opened. The fully armed knights rushed out from the inside and began to search for “heretical evidence” from house to house. The knights who were guarded by the knights went to the streets, shouted with magical techniques, and warned all the propaganda materials. The civilians, and in the process, the outer city suddenly became more and more chaotic.

Those "experienced" knights are unlikely to commit crimes in the process of breaking into their homes and searching for materials.

Not only did the outer city begin to become chaotic, but the atmosphere in the inner city church area immediately became tense.

The monks in black robes and scalp tattoos walked silently into a small chapel and began to interrogate all monks and low-ranking priests. A large number of brochures were turned out from the corners of the churches or priests. The priest who hid the brochure was also immediately punished with a unified confinement, followed by whipping and magic.

The extraordinary of the church cannot be punished in front of the civilians. In order to maintain the decentness of the church, all the priests who are punished will continue to be kept in the confinement after receiving the punishment, until they complete the complete repentance.

In just one day, thousands of promotional materials were collected from various areas of the city, some were brochures, some were flyers, and Bishop Franberry was so shocked after seeing the pile of printed materials that he did not expect so much. .

The print quality of these prints is so beautiful, the text is clear, the layout is neat, not like the poorly printed wax-plated products, he can't imagine how the Cecils are so beautifully printed and printed. many.

But in any case, these things must be destroyed immediately.

All the collected brochures were brought together and sent to the Grand Place outside the church area for public incineration. The commanders wearing the cloaks of the cloaks ran three times in the city and drove all the civilians from home. Come out and let them go to the square to watch the scene of burning.

In the big square, people are crowded into the square. There are thousands of civilians with numbness and thin skin and thin skin. Due to the lack of food supply, people in the outer city have remained in a state of semi-starvation for almost half a month, and the hunger bites all the time. Everyone's heart, they actually don't want to come to the bed on the square at home, maybe they can also reduce some physical energy consumption, and gather here... everyone can only get hungry.
