The entire town has been reduced to scorched earth.

When Bishop Howard walked up the hillside, he could only see the burnt blackened houses and the ground. Scattered rocks rolled to the ground, and the strong smell of blood was everywhere. Dozens of families originally lived here, but now

, but there were less than ten survivors. The citizens who barely escaped from the war because of good luck or other reasons did not feel the joy of escaping from death at this time. On the contrary, they cried and screamed and rushed towards the enemy.

In the charred houses, people frantically searched for the bodies of their relatives. Some people even held the bloody corpses in their arms without even taking a closer look, whimpering and crying like wild beasts.

This is war.

Seeing this scene, Bishop Howard also felt heavy. He made a gesture, telling his priests to help clean up the scene and deal with the epidemic. After the war, the plague is most likely to break out. At this juncture, no place can withstand the torment. Thinking of this

, the Lord Bishop shook his head with a heavy heart, and then continued to walk forward. This time he began to seriously consider Zhan's previous proposal for the Templar Order to participate in the Klein Continent War. To be honest,

Before that, although the old bishop was a little interested in Zhan's proposal, he also submitted it to the higher-ups of the Skaar Federation. However, the higher-ups were still hesitant as to whether the Holy Church should directly intervene. But now, with his own eyes,

After seeing the trauma caused by the war to these ordinary people, he has made up his mind. No matter what, he must explain to the church leaders that protecting the people from pain and harm is the consistent purpose of the Holy Church, even in war.

Period. Nor should they abandon their mission.

Thinking of this, Bishop Howard sighed. Then he followed the mountain road to the hillside on the other side of the town. Soon, Howard saw the young figure.

Zhan was standing there motionless, sullenly staring at the burned-to-char town below. Beside him, the militiamen were piling up the corpses of the Gold Empire cavalry and preparing to burn them on fire.

Although this method of handling was somewhat inappropriate, after seeing Zhan's cold expression, Howard decided not to argue with him over such a trivial matter.

"You are here, Lord Bishop."

Hearing the footsteps, Zhan turned around and nodded to Bishop Howard. Bishop Howard also bowed in return. Then he walked to Zhan's side and looked with him at the broken wall not far below.

In the ruined town, the icy wind blew past, and the heart-rending shouts and cries of the residents below could be vaguely heard.

"It seems that the Shining Gold Empire is indeed brave. I didn't expect him to do this."

After a moment, Zhan finally spoke. However, his tone was firm and not at all as gentle as usual. Before Bishop Howard could say anything, Zhan had already asked.

"Your Majesty Bishop, if I remember correctly. The previous notice was indeed delivered to the Emperor of the Shining Gold Empire through the Holy Church?"

"Yes, Mr. Jenn."

After hearing this, Bishop Howard nodded. As Zhan En, it was naturally impossible to submit a diplomatic document to the Gold Empire. Therefore, he had delivered the letter to the Royal Family of the Gold Empire through the Holy Church. Howard also

Knowing that this hinted at the relationship between the other's territory and the Holy Church. He had already learned from Zhan the news about Parsus' independence from the Skal Federation. To be honest, this news really surprised Bishop Howard.

.And he naturally understood the political significance of a decorated nobleman owning an independent territory, but out of his usual caution, he did not get too involved and just let nature take its course.

But now......

Seeing this scene, the old bishop felt a little unhappy in his heart. Although he and Zhan didn't have a deep friendship, attacking the independent territory of a decorated noble was almost the same as giving the Holy Church a slap in the face.

Maybe the other party thinks that the Holy Temple cannot do anything during the war? Thinking of this, Howard's face darkened. Although this is indeed a small matter, it is not a trivial matter for the Holy Temple's prestige to be shaken. Maybe this is a good opportunity to convince the senior management.

, if they continue to do nothing, then the Templar Order's sense of existence will become weaker and weaker, and maybe there will be no sense of existence at all in the future.

Under such circumstances, reform is inevitable.

"That Emperor is unwilling to accept my request..."

Bishop Howard's uncertain face was fully visible, but Zhan didn't say much. On the contrary, he snorted coldly and looked forward again.

"But I assure you, Lord Bishop, this matter will not end like this... Have you brought what I want?" Wuyou Novel Network does not skip words.

"Already brought it, Mr. Jenn."

After hearing Zhan's inquiry, Old Bishop Howard took out a gorgeous document from his arms, inlaid with sacred patterns and etched it, and handed it over. But then he frowned again, with a bit of doubt.

Look at the young man in front of you.

"But I still don't understand, what do you want to do? Indeed, the signing of the peace document under the witness of the Nine Saints is recognized by the Holy Church, but do you still think that the emperor of the Shining Gold Empire will sign this obediently?

Clerk? Mr. Zhan, I know you are angry now, but I hope you can see the reality clearly - you cannot just walk to the palace of the Golden Empire, come to the throne of His Majesty the Emperor, and then let him

Sign your name on this Nine Saints document."

"Since you think I can't do it, why are you going to bring me the Nine Sacred Documents?"

Hearing the old bishop's complaint, Zhan En smiled slightly, then he stretched out his hand to take the document, took a look at it, and then put it into his arms.

"If I remember correctly, the application for the Nine Saints Document is not simple, and it also requires the unanimous approval of the representatives of the Nine Saints. Do you all think that I am just daydreaming? If that is the case, then this approach is very complicated.

Is it interesting?"

"This only represents the attitude of the Holy Church and cannot explain the actual issue."

Feeling Zhan's slightly joking gaze, Howard couldn't help but blush. Of course he knew that what Zhan said was the truth. But he didn't tell lies. The Holy Church is not only a religious organization on Klein Road, but also a lie.

In addition, it also serves as a law firm and a notary office. Generally speaking, if there is a major agreement to be concluded between countries, they need to sign their name on the Nine Saints Document. This means that this

The agreement is recognized and paid attention to by all the gods on the continent of Klein.

Of course, although it sounds lofty, in fact this kind of agreement is only effective under the protection of the Holy Church. After all, there are secret agreements and transactions between countries. Naturally, it is impossible to tell everyone about this kind of thing to the Holy Church.

Therefore, the Nine Sacred Documents are generally used when negotiating between the forces under the Holy Church and other forces - to put it bluntly, it is a contract agreement for a specific organization.

As Zhan En said, the senior leaders of the Templar Order have absolutely no hope that he can successfully sign a peace agreement with the Gold Empire. But the problem is that Zhan En is a nobleman awarded by the Templar Order and has a noble status.

And it’s official. Now that he has made this request, he must go through this process. After some consideration, the senior officials of the Skal Federation finally approved Zhan’s application and transferred Saint

I brought over a document of peace recognized by the church.

But this is just like Bishop Howard said, this only represents an attitude of the Holy Church. Obviously, they are also angry that the Golden Empire ignores the face of the Order, but because the Order's long-term policy is still

If they are lazy, of course they can't deal with the Gold Empire because of such a trivial matter. Now that Zhan plans to continue to cause trouble for the empire, the Templar Order doesn't mind giving him a push in the back, although they don't know that Zhan

En plans to do whatever he wants, but if he can teach the Shining Gold Empire a small lesson through his hands, then the Templar Order will naturally not stop it.

Although they believe in gods, they are still human beings after all. As the saying goes, everyone is angry. Now the Flash Gold Empire not only attacks the Skal Federation and provokes a war without permission, but even ignores the dissuasion of the Templar Order and insists on attacking an honorary.

The independent territory of the nobles. If you can still bear this, it is equivalent to giving up the other cheek after being slapped on the left cheek. Fortunately, no god among the Nine Saints is stupid enough to give such an order to his followers.

doctrine.

Therefore, the Holy Church obviously does not intend to endure this tone, not to mention...

Thinking of the corpse of the half-demon witch he saw before, Howard's expression became more and more gloomy. You must know that there was a grudge between the Templar Order and the Tour de France Association in history. If it weren't for the members of the Golden Empire,

The royal family strives to protect the Environmental Protection Association. They have long been swept into the garbage dump by the Templar Order and are the companions of cultists. And now, these damn guys are actually turning into demons in public?

If the imperial royal family and the Tour de France do not give them an explanation for this, then the Templar Order does not mind completing the part of the work that was not completed before.

but……………

Thinking of this, Howard was still a little curious. He raised his head and looked at Zhan, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Mr. Zhan, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I really want to know how you plan to get the Emperor of the Golden Gold Empire to sign this peace document in front of you?"

"As you said, Lord Bishop Howard."

Hearing Howard's question, Zhan smiled slightly.

"Just walk to the palace of the Shining Gold Empire, then come in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and then ask him to sign this agreement... You see, isn't this a very simple thing?" Wuyou Novel Network does not skip words.

.

"Please don't joke, Mr. Jenn."

"I'm not kidding, Bishop."

As he spoke, Zhan took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, then narrowed his eyes.

"It's almost time... Then, it's time for me to set off. Lord Bishop, please wait for my good news."

"good………………"

Hearing this, Howard was stunned for a moment, but before he could say anything more, suddenly, a strong wind rising from the ground made him shut up. The old bishop turned around involuntarily to block the sand and dust blowing towards him. At this moment

, the sky seemed much darker, and even the earth was shrouded in shadow. When the strong wind disappeared, the old bishop turned his head again and looked forward - and then his eyes widened in surprise.

In front of him, he saw a giant dragon the size of a hill standing there quietly. It raised its head high, and its pure white body reflected the brilliance of the sun. Behind its body, you could see thick,

Huge and shining with an icy luster, one can immediately think of the terrifying existence of destruction.

"This is…………………"

Seeing this scene, Howard was stunned. He could feel the dragon's power emanating from this giant dragon. It was an extremely powerful force. Just looking at the giant beast in front of him made him feel like a tiny ant.

It's not worth mentioning. If it weren't for the firm belief honed by the clergy, Howard would have been lying on the ground shivering at this time - but in fact, the militiamen and the residents of the town were stunned when the dragon appeared.

They were already kneeling on the ground, looking at the giant dragon in front of them with awe, their mouths wide but unable to say a word.

"People of Parsus!!"

At this moment, Zhan En's voice sounded again, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Once upon a time, we lived a happy and peaceful time. But the coming of war destroyed everything we once had... No one likes war, and no one desires war. I once tried to seek peace from His Majesty the Emperor.

road, but now, the arrogant emperor has made his choice. However, the blood of our Parsus people will not be shed in vain! I assure you that those who once destroyed and killed wantonly on this land

, will be punished the most severely. And my people, I will be with you!! Now, we will make our own voice to let the Golden Empire understand that our concession does not come from cowardice, tit for tat,

Blood for blood, they will eventually feel our anger and will pay the price!!"

"Long live the lord!!"

Hearing these words, the people who had knelt on the ground suddenly cheered loudly. If it had been before, everything Zhan En said would have been meaningless to them. But now, when the scene appeared in front of them

After a giant dragon, everything changed. You know, it was a dragon! For these simple villagers, the dragon is almost the final boss in all stories. And their lord can actually control the giant dragon.

Dragon! This has made these people feel extremely shocked, followed by excitement and pride. They are convinced that in front of the dragon, the army of the Golden Empire is not worth mentioning at all!

As the Lord said, now is the time to let those arrogant imperial subjects taste our anger.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the giant dragon spread its wings and roared into the sky.

And behind it, countless huge figures followed closely - like white waves rushing at the top of the sky.

"this……………"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Howard was completely stunned. He just stood on the hillside, watching hundreds of giant dragons flying into the sky. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind.
Chapter completed!
