glorious fall

The so-called treat all things in the world with a benevolent and fraternal attitude, the doctrine stipulates that this is the beginning of human beings eliminating sins for themselves, and they can receive the blessing of the heavenly father after death, so that they can enjoy the glory of ascending to heaven after death.There are many sacred stories worthy of spreading in the past hundred years. It is said that when the Papal State of Siorius was first established, the southern provinces wanted to be richer, so they would not harvest all the grain they cultivated in the fields, because the Lord Yu God loves the world, and the world loves each other, so the small part of the food reserved is for the travelers who are busy on the road. At first, the Pingjiao in the south were praised by the Holy See as the most loyal to the Lord, inheriting The saints of the Spirit of the Lord made people in the poorer places in the north jealous, but with the passage of time, people's thinking has naturally changed even more, and it is even said that some things are different in different environments. , being treated with a different attitude is by no means discrimination, but out of necessity.

For example, when Tanglas hurried back to the small town north of Monta Province, he saw a group of poor lay believers fighting for a small amount of food in the field.

All of them have become sallow and thin, and the once plump cheeks can no longer recognize the traces of the past, leaving only a pair of black eyes full of hunger and desire, which are suddenly opened on the face, and some people have no strength. Well, after being pushed and shoved to the ground, their limbs were spread out in the mud after the rain, and the worn-out baskets in their hands were also thrown aside. Most of them cry like newborn cats in a thin and low voice, because they have been starved for a few meals, how can they cry and act like a baby in the arms of their parents like in the past.

A group of people scrambled and fought, and in the end the food was unfortunately sprinkled in the soil. The mothers touched the tears that could not flow at all, and the salty sweat, so they had to bend down to pick it up, hoping to return it. Can fit a little more in a basket.

Looking at the group of people lying or sitting, standing or kneeling, Tang Glass felt sore in his heart. He wished he could run over immediately and bring those people back to the city.

However, he held back his urge.

He can no longer be an impulsive young man, because what he has to shoulder is the responsibility of more people.

Tang Glass sighed, turned his head and said to a small team leader: "Go and send these people to New Durna. Send them to an asylum or a monastery, as long as they can have food and shelter."

The squad leader took the order to take ten people to escort the group of people, and also took some food.

"It's true what Chester said. Once there is a little disaster, the first to suffer is the common people. However, there are so many people, and there may be more in the future. I really want to listen to him and send them all to the monastery. Go? Oh, what a stimulating thought."

Thinking about it, Tang Glass couldn't help but get a headache.

The sky gradually darkened as the distance shortened, but there was still some distance to the place where the Crusaders were stationed, and there might be accidents if they continued on their way. After all, the northern part of Monta province was not so peaceful recently, so Tanglas thought for a while, They ordered to camp on the spot near a hill. At this time, the well-trained guards assigned their tasks very quickly. All the hunters went to find prey, and all the water collectors went to the front with their portable sheepskin bags. Xiaohe and the firewood seekers also went to the woods and returned with dry grass and branches. After a while, a fire was lit in the open space.

Tanglas didn't stay idle either. He took out the folded sheepskin map and unfolded it by the bright yellow light. Looking at the simple route above, he slid his finger across the map unconsciously, and then lingered a few times, frowning. After tightening for a while, when he finally let go, his finger touched a black dot.

"It's here."

……

In the province of Leman, which was baptized by the torrential rain, the sky was so high and bright that the sun shone brightly. The blue was so pure that it almost brought tears to the eyes, as if it was the holy light from heaven, which made people feel warm and ironed in their hearts.

Mr. Marquis Winfrey, no, it should be called Lord Consul Winfrey now, enjoying the rare silence in the flower hall. I received a letter from Sandra a few days ago, hoping that Winfrey can help, in the province of Leman Recruit a group of young civilians, and then within the next month, assemble these civilian believers as soon as possible, distribute the corresponding simple equipment, and then conduct some basic training. In another month, let General Schlott Lead the archbishop's standing army and their temporary troops to the junction of Monta Province and Piedrius Province, where there is a crusader army, where the recruits will be further trained first, and the veteran soldiers will first meet with them. The rebels fight, wait until the recruits are trained, and then go to the battlefield to fight the enemy.

"It seems that our lord Demon is really determined to follow His Majesty," Winfrey sighed, "Recalling the first time we met, I think Sandra is more like someone who, if she has enough power in her hand, A person who knows how to stand on his own, I didn't expect him to choose to be loyal to His Majesty the Pope."

In fact, he just didn't think that the archbishop he always thought of was just because of various reasons, such as giving birth to a child named Boyaud and having a relationship with His Majesty the Pope as a lover, etc. Throwing everything away, to hold on to power, and fight alone.

The autumn sun was warm, and after a while, he became a little confused, so he simply put down the honey cheese in his hand, lay down on the table and prepared to take a nap.

It's so comfortable...

As he thought this way, he vaguely heard someone whispering not far away, and he didn't bother to devote his energy to listening carefully. After a while, he felt his back sink, as if someone had covered him with a cloak, He was already on the verge of chaos, he just pursed his lips and fell asleep completely.

After waking up, golden and scarlet clouds rolled up in the sky, the sun was hidden behind the clouds, and the scattered, emitted, and emitted light dyed the edges of the clouds into golden or black edges, which was really beautiful.

Winfrey stared up at the blessed beauty until he felt that his eyes were sore that he wanted to shed tears, and then he buried his head in rubbing his eyes.

Someone beside him burst out laughing, and he hurriedly looked up, only to be surprised to find that it was Andrew Bart.

"Uh, Mr. Bart?"

Andrew raised his eyebrows and pointed to the clouds in the sky, "Master Winfrey, your nap time seems to be very long, and the place where you nap is not flattering."

"..."

Winfrey felt as though her 30-plus-year reputation for good manners had been punctured.

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Andrew smiled, "I'm sorry to make you unhappy, I have waited too long, and even my nerves are a little stiff."

"Huh?" Winfrey hurriedly sat upright, but found that something had fallen from the quilt. He turned his head to look, and found a cloak sewn with double layers of fox fur lying on the ground.

"..." Winfrey got up embarrassingly and went back to pick it up, then handed it to Andrew, "Thank you for the cloak, Andrew."

"No," Andrew took it, dusted it off, and put it aside, "If you're already awake, how about we discuss some business?"

"That's very good," Winfrey sat down. "What's the matter? Lord Bart, I remember what you have to do, and I have already received your affirmative answer."

"That's exactly the truth, but, Mr. Consul, we had some accidents, or problems, during the actual implementation."

Winfrey frowned, "What's the problem?"

Andrew said with an apologetic expression, "My lord, I don't think there are enough supplies. After all, this is an army of more than [-] people."

"...How come, Bart, I think I must tell you clearly that when I handed over this seat to you last year, I clearly showed you the public property of the Holy See in our entire province of Leman. Even now, we will I have enough energy to provide these supplies," Winfrey's brows frowned more clearly, "How did what you said happen?"

"First of all, because of the training, there will be basic weapons. This is an expense. Then, there is the issue of clothing. We decided at the time that it was the same as the uniforms of the soldiers in the standing army of Lord Demon. This is another expense. After that, there is food supply, another sum, and then some compensation for the families of these common believers—" Andrew said more than a dozen things in a row before stopping to look at Winfrey.

"...Sorry, this will indeed cost a lot, but, I think there may be other problems."

"As you guessed, because many people took advantage of the squad leader's inattention to reclaim it, many people behind couldn't get it."

"Sure enough," Winfrey pursed his lips, "So, this is a problem. In this way, in the future, they will be collected according to one team. At different times, different teams will do different things. Each team leader It is also easy to monitor.”

"I think so too." Andrew nodded.

"Since you've already figured it out, why do you still—" You have to come here specially?

Andrew looked at his slightly puzzled expression, and slowly smiled——

"My dear Consul, do you think my proposal a few days ago is okay?"

Winfrey seemed to choke, and then his face turned red.

"How can people take such naive words seriously?!"
