Realm of Power

Lytle found that he had overestimated the unity of the so-called Sky Temple Priests. Although on the surface, everyone vowed to resolutely defend the new saint and scolded Lytle for his boldness, in fact, on the second day, he walked on He sent someone to give a thousand imperial gold to the fifth team responsible for guarding, and then quietly asked how to let them leave.

The captain of the fifth team, who had already arrived at the command, weighed the heavy bag of money in his hand, immediately changed his cold and rigid expression, and even softened his tone a lot, saying, "My lords, it is not us who is embarrassing you, and I am not afraid to tell you. Lord Priest, the troops of the Hokuriku Noble Army are less than fifty miles away from here, and they may come in at any time to attack this place. If everyone here is killed, what is the difference between us staying here and waiting to die! If we were not ordered to protect you, we would have left long ago, but the request to ensure the safety of the temple priests is an order from the Imperial Ministry of Affairs. Lord Lytle, who is stationed on the west coast, has no right to change "What are you talking about? The Hokuriku noble army is less than fifty miles away from here!"

The faces of the priests who heard the answer from the fifth squad leader changed drastically, like ants on a hot pot. Now there was complete chaos outside. Some said that after the Hokuriku noble army defeated New Lanterna, they were heading towards the west coast. The west coast area was originally Feize's core area. This time, the Hokuriku noble army entered In front of us, the forces of the Fezer nobles who were previously suppressed have risen one after another, causing impact in many cities. It is also said that after the Hokuriku noble army defeated the main force of the reclamation group in New Lantia, some internal problems arose, and they are still in New Lantia. There was no movement in the sub-region, but no one expected that the Hokuriku noble army would advance so fast.

"Actually, I don't want to see you all waiting to die here in vain. If you adults die, we won't survive. Before starting to attack the city wall, the Hokuriku noble army needs to clear out the villages around the city, so there is still time. So all It's too late to make a decision now! "The fifth team leader, Yoqilin, is a handsome young man. A look of regret flashed through his bright eyes, and he deliberately revealed that there are other ways. "You mean, you have Is there any way to save us?"

A middle-aged temple priest blinked, and immediately took out a bag full of imperial gold and handed it over. As long as you are willing to tell us, we will have a big gift to thank you later! "This money was originally intended to be used to bribe the Carisu garrison. Many of the priests who follow the New Saint are rich businessmen. Now it is urgent. People are going to die, so what is the use of keeping money! Now it was discovered that the guarding Imperial Captain was a money-grubbing man, so he immediately sent three or four bags of Imperial gold coins to him. "Actually, there is not a way out."

The captain of the fifth squad, Jochilin, smiled broadly, his eyes narrowed into a line. He took the bag of imperial gold and immediately put it into his pocket. The heavy gold coins pressed into his pocket, making a clattering sound. Jochilin turned his head to the left and right. After looking at it, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Although I cannot change the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, we are ordered to protect the priests of the Sky Temple. Those who are restricted are also the priests of the Sky Temple. In other words, if you are no longer the priests of the Sky Temple, you can naturally leave from here! For such a simple reason, you are all very smart people, so it should not happen. Think about it! ""We are the attendant priests who follow Her Majesty the Holy Lady. We once vowed to dedicate our lives to the temple. How could we do this? .……

A temple priest said with a pale face. Those who followed the New Saint to the south were not all speculative businessmen. Among them were one or two orthodox priests from the real Sky Temple. Their responsibilities were mainly responsible for the New Saint's In the study of doctrine, although I have always had objections to the several priests with business backgrounds using the New Saint to fight for power and exclude and suppress Parstina, I still retain some piety towards the Temple of the Sky.

"Priest Achanan, you are just a priest who preaches. When will it be your turn to speak?" A fat priest yelled at him. The golden star pattern on the sleeves of the priest's robe was obviously the most among the more than ten meters of priests. Yes, he looked at the priest majestically and said in a deep voice, "Everyone joins the Sky Temple to get more benefits, not to lose their lives here.

"Lord Angela, I just feel that it would be too..." The priest was also sweating on his forehead after being chopped off.

Your Highness the Saint, to put it bluntly, she is just a little girl with an ordinary identity.” The fat priest’s fingers almost touched the priest’s forehead, and he said angrily, “If it weren’t for us, what kind of new Saint? She is a commoner girl who has never seen the world. Now the saint has made the emperor angry, and we have been exiled to this backward south together. We have already suffered enough, why do we have to wait together to die! Can't you see it now? The empire has made it clear that it will use the knife of the Hokuriku Noble Army to completely deal with us. Since the identity of the Sky Priest will only become a burden, why should we persist!

"Actually, you can just temporarily give up your priesthood. This is the far west coast, not the mainland of the empire, and the current situation is so chaotic. Even if you temporarily give up your priesthood for the sake of the situation, who will pay attention? Just wait until the matter is over and come back." Captain of the fifth squad, Yochilin He spoke calmly to the quarreling priests word by word. After hearing his words, the quarreling priests stopped. Yes, why didn't they think of using their own methods to temporarily give up their identity as priests and wait for safety? Later, he resumed his status as a priest. Souri held the trump card of Her Majesty the Holy Lady. It was just a matter of words.

The benefits of this are obvious. By giving up their identity as Sky Temple priests, they can escape from detention. After the crisis, they can return to Sky Temple. Anyway, this is the west coast. They can temporarily escape. If people didn’t tell it at the time, and if other people didn’t tell it, who would know? "Just do it like this, just endure it for the time being." The priests decided to temporarily give up their priesthood. After asking the fifth team leader, they found the saint who was resting. A few minutes later, more than a dozen copies stated that they had already The declaration of leaving the Sky Temple and no longer serving as a priest of the Sky Temple was stamped with the personal seal of Her Majesty the Holy Lady, "Let them go. They have given up their identity as Sky Temple priests, so they are not within the scope."

Holding the dozens of declarations in his hand, after reading them carefully, Yueqilin raised his hand towards the soldiers blocking the door. After the dozens of people disappeared into the distance, he handed over the declaration in his hand. Passing it to the subordinates behind him, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. These idiots had indeed taken the bait. If it weren't for the priests of the Sky Holy Cult, I am afraid that they will have been arrested and dealt with the moment they arrive on the west coast. The first thing these people do when they leave must be to flee towards the city gate, hoping to leave the city before the Hokuriku noble army arrives. But little did they know that the moment they arrived at the city gates, they would be immediately arrested for clearance.
