Chapter 271: dispute

The priest looked solemn, and the knight gritted his teeth and charged. Regardless of the outcome of the fight, the two sides will inevitably suffer large-scale casualties.
The two sides are the elite of their respective forces, not the elite of the soldiers, but the elite of the ruling class itself.
The land knights under Prince Gresta looked inconspicuous as a formal knight. In fact, every land knight is a viscount with a vast fief, a true lord of hundreds of miles, except for the need to enshrine his superiors. The military service for a certain period of time each year and the contribution of a certain amount of property each year are theirs.
Formal knights are similar, except that the site is much smaller than the viscount, and most of them just own manors with a radius of more than ten miles and dozens of miles.
In addition to the need to provide certain services and financial contributions for their own princes, the king and the higher lords and nobles do not need to pay attention. These people are the real ruling class, not the big soldiers who can sacrifice at will.
This time Prince Gresta was able to command such an elite force because the church wanted to unify and establish a centralized state, and the magic council, which adopted the state policy of the mages, also threatened the foundation of their survival. Therefore, regardless of the risk of becoming a great imperial authority, the elites in his hands were gathered under the command of the royal family.
But if these elites, these noble knights with actual titles and territories are buried here, the emperor must avenge them against the church, because this is related to the foundation of governance.
The same is true for the church. Those who have direct power must have power. These powerful pastors are also high-level in the church. They are not big soldiers who can sacrifice for the overall situation. Their deaths must also be accounted for by the public.
"stop."
"Stop!"
When the priest's holy light ball was about to hit the knight, and the tip of the knight's charging spear was about to pierce the priest's forehead, two figures appeared in the sky and stopped his men and horses.
Not only the words, but the holy light permeated as he spoke. A wall of light appeared in front of the priest, deflecting the charging knight away. For a while, people turned their horses on their backs, and the horse tendons were broken, but the casualties were few.
On the other side, when the priest's corrosive holy light ball was about to approach the heads of many knights, it was extinguished by a water-colored sword light, and the overwhelming attack was nothing.
"Sky Knight Cass? Your people dare to take the initiative to attack the Lord's shepherd and must be sentenced to death."
Above the head of the church pastor, an old man wearing a golden robe and gray hair, but with extremely firm and bright eyes scolded.
"Meet Master Saint Thomas!"
Bishop Ollie and the others saluteed with excitement as soon as they saw the old man, like a child who saw an idol.
There are two possibilities for a person with ‘Holy’ in the title. One is that he and his family’s surnames are given the word ‘Holy’ in front of him and his family after he has made an indelible contribution to the church.
The number of such people is very small, and the church is often caught in a crisis that is huge enough to perish in the history of the development of the church. People who turn the tide can get such a title.
The other is relatively more, as long as the power reaches the level of the sky knight on the side of the knight, and the moon-level mage on the side of the magic, and devotes all of your heart to the Lord, a person who becomes a priest of the holy light can be in his own name Add the word "Holy" before it.
It's just that you can't add this title to your family name and pass it on to your descendants.
The former kind of people have been inspired by the Lord to serve the Lord. There is no such sacred figure born in this era. This Saint Thomas should be the latter.
"Good morning, Lord Cass."
Prince Gresta on the other side also saluted the people above the sky respectfully, with a look of reverence.
Even if he is the emperor's son, he must pay his respects to a sky knight who is similar to the Jindan monk. He is the gift of the younger generation, and those with powerful power must not be insulted.
Compared with the majestic and sacred image of Saint Thomas on the opposite side, Cass, the sky knight, is a man with disheveled clothes and lipstick. He heard the words of Saint Thomas and said nonchalantly:
"oh, I see.
Then let's fight, I will kill you, and then kill your white garbage called the Lord, the matter will not be resolved. "
When it comes to insulting the gods, St. Thomas was furious, and his hair and beards were all stretched: "Here, if you dare to blaspheme the gods, your soul will endure thousands of years of torment on the wall of weeping, and you will never be freed from eternal life."
Cass curled his lips and said with disdain: "I will respect the real god, but the so-called of your church, haha, this is a good joke."
"How dare you..."
"Well, as you can see, I'm very busy, and there are many sad and panicked female wizards who need my comfort. I'm not interested in hearing what you bad old man say.
If you plan to start a fight, I can also fight with you, if you don’t want to, I’ll leave. "
St. Thomas's face was pale, but for some reason he still held back his anger and said: "I will come to you after I break through the magic capital."
Then a golden light flashed, his figure disappeared into the sky, and hundreds of elite clergymen also slowly left under the guard of layers of infantry who came afterwards as if they had received some order.
The figure of the sky knight Cass appeared next to Prince Glesta. Compared with the slutty smile on his face when he had just dealt with St. Thomas, he now has a cold face: "Gresta, I hate trouble. If this happens again, I don’t like fighting with the same tier cultivator outside of my plan.

Prince Gresta shuddered involuntarily and explained: "They were the first to make the move, I just..."
"It is your thing!"
With a heavy aura permeating Cass, he suppressed the explanation of Prince Gresta: "The empire has an empire's plan. When and how to start a war, there is your Majesty and we have to consider.
All you have to do is to obey, and then obey, understand? "
Gresta dare not say any more: "Yes, Lord Cass, I understand."
Even if he is the son of the emperor, he is nothing compared to a sky knight who has great power and communicates equally with his majesty. If he really angers a sky knight, Prince Gresta has no doubts. All his future will dim.
Cass's expression only slightly slowed: "The empire has empire considerations. I know that the white trash on the opposite side is uneasy and kind, but a full-scale war is of great importance and should not be taken lightly.
Once the war begins, let alone you, people of our level say death will die, but there is no chance. "
This idea of ​​the Cass knights is a common trend among the nobles, especially the upper-class nobles. The church is hateful. The land and wealth that the church controls are coveted. The church erodes the rights that should belong to the lords and is hated. .
But wanting them to put aside everything for this, do not enjoy the glory and wealth, risk losing everything to fight desperately against those religious lunatics, this is not worth it.
In contrast, the imperial emperor is more enterprising, but his majesty must also consider the ideas of the knights and nobles under his command. Starting the war without authorization will inevitably arouse great resentment from those who push them to the battlefield of cannon fodder. Is it the best choice for the Empire?
This kind of wide-ranging involves a lot of life resentment, let alone a prince, even his majesty is unwilling to bear it.
As soon as he thought of this, Prince Gresta drenched in cold sweat: "Yes, Master Cass, I understand. I will try my best to endure it and not initiate war.
We will cooperate sincerely with the church to destroy the Magic Council and fully obey the orders of the empire. "
Cass nodded slightly: "The war can be fought, but you can't initiate it. It's best if the opponent initiates you and you can't refrain from fighting. You know, you know that this coming war will kill a lot of people, not Those soldiers like ants are all powerful nobles."
Prince Gresta respectfully be taught.
