The balance beam is a very difficult sport. If you are not careful, you will lose your balance and collapse.
The Church of the Burning Sun wants to maintain a fragile balance, but the power in their hands is not enough for them to forcibly maintain the balance.
Therefore, they need to try their best to create a new balance by using different forces to check each other.
The three madmen were loaded onto a steamer and sailed to Burnie Port. Under the promotion of the Church of the Burning Sun, two different god-like phenomena, life and madness, had the possibility of contact with each other.
But this is just the plan of the Lieyang Church. Zhou Weide's Life Church is by no means a weak force waiting to be manipulated.
Pastor Ian’s indifferent attitude after returning to the church gave him a general understanding of the position of the Burning Sun Church.
The core of power of the Church of the Sun and the Church of Life are ultimately different. The differences in concepts doom the two parties not to become true friends, but to become collaborators pursuing different interests.
All friendly gentleness is conditional. Only the improvement of strength can earn cautious respect.
So Zhou Weide started the personality replacement ceremony again, and in just a few days, the knight squad of thirteen people was expanded into an armed knight team of one hundred and thirty people.
In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Life Knights, he carried out a collective replacement for the Knights, equipping them with primary and secondary weapons at the cost of five kilograms of virtual loss for each elite warrior.
The main weapon is a replica bolt-action rifle produced by Dreamland City and 120 rifle bullets, and the secondary weapon is a Rolock 17 pistol and a specially made 30 silver-copper mixed bullets.
With this configuration, the combat effectiveness of the Life Knights has been directly pushed to the top level of the empire. The military power of Burni Port can no longer threaten the Life Church.
"Bishop Wade, although bolt-action rifles can reduce ammunition consumption, our ammunition reserves are still very short.
I suggest replacing a manual lathe and a few Professional workers, they can continue to produce ammunition for us very well."
"Don't worry, Rowan, we haven't really taken control of a city yet.
Our strongest battle is now. The method is mobile warfare, and premature replacement of industrial tools will limit our flexibility."
Pastor Ian looked at the assembly of a special pistol and a sharp sword at the waist, and an anti-wood grain engineering plastic bolt-action rifle. The Cavaliers, everyone was numb.
At this moment, he could only pray to Governor Bell for his own blessings. He believed that this Knights of Life had the combat power to break through the Governor's Mansion.
After all, the warriors of the gods and the special weapons are not something that the Burnie Harbor Guard can resist.
"Bishop Wade, your Knights will not expand any more. Burnie Port is too small to accommodate your rapidly expanding power."
Pastor Ian said It makes sense, given the current finances of the Life ChurchThe current situation cannot afford to support a retired knights.
If the Life Knights continue to expand, there will be no better choice other than annexing Burnie Port.
"Pastor Ian, I made an appointment with Governor Bell to discuss the church expansion. You can participate in the meeting on behalf of the Sun Church."
When Zhou Weide was talking to Pastor Ian, Baron Bell But hesitating.
He did not want to go to the Life Church to see Zhou Weide, because there were his spies among the believers of the Life Church, and he knew very well how many elite knights there were in that seemingly small temporary church.
He wanted Zhou Weide to come to see him, but he was worried that after the Life Knights left the church, they would never return to the church easily.
"Colonel Lant, do you think I should go see Bishop Wade?"
"Governor, I think it is okay to meet. The Life Church has been abiding by your grant until now. The law enforcement power of the church.
Their armed knights have not formally walked out of the Life Church, which means that Bishop Wade is willing to retain some respect for you."
"Lant. , do you think I was wrong in granting them church land and church law enforcement rights? ”
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Governor, you are a wise scholar. Without everything you have granted, now we would have faced armed knights without legal constraints.
They come from residential areas, It is impossible for the improvised militia to fight them, and our guards are unable to fight them."
As a close confidant of Governor Bell, Colonel Lanter's future is closely linked to Governor Bell.
He hopes that the Governor can stabilize the Life Church, or at worst, cut off some of the interests to keep the Life Church quiet for the time being.
As long as this term is over, he and the governor can go to other cities to serve, and the troublesome Life Church can be left to those who come after him.
"Lant, you are right, the Life Church needs my support, and I need their Life Medical Care to win over the rich and powerful.
We are in a complementary relationship, and their abnormality It’s just a normal sign of strength. As long as Bishop Wade still has sense, he will not attack the Governor’s Mansion.”
For a moment, Governor Bell planned to apply to the kingdom to suppress the troops, but he soon gave up. This way of hurting each other.
As far as he is concerned, he is only the governor of Burniport, not the lord of Burniport. There is no reason to offend a powerful church for the benefit of local nobles.
Of course, what he is really worried about is that after the conflict, the Life Knights will arrest him and his family without any moral ethics.
After all, it was a group of fanatical religious weapons composed of souls from outside the world. In their eyes, his noble status was probably not a deterrent.
"Let's go, Lant, as long as Wade doesn't bother me making money or harm myReputation, there is still the possibility of cooperation between us. ”
“Governor, your heart is as broad as the sea, and Bishop Wade will definitely feel your sincerity. "
Governor Bell, accompanied by Colonel Lanter and the City Guard, set out. He planned to delay the problem and leave everything to more enterprising newcomers.
As for the latecomers What to do if it can't be solved? It can only be blamed on the latecomers' unqualified administrative abilities.
When Governor Bell arrived at the Temporary Life Church, he discovered how elite the Life Knights were as mentioned by the spies.
They are located at the defensive points and commanding heights of the entire church. They are energetic and aggressive, they are strict in discipline and full of the beauty of order.
Together with these silent knights of life, they are always ready to fight. Rather, his city guards are more like guards of honor under the will to fight.
"Hello Governor, the Bishop and Pastor Ian are waiting for you in the conference room. "
Life Knight Hank did the reception. He respectfully led Governor Bell and Colonel Lanter into the church conference room.
"Vade, what do you need and want to do? What? "
Governor Bell was not polite after entering the door. He walked straight to Zhou Weide and sat down next to him like a friend he had known for many years, and poured a glass of wine.
Colonel Lant was more tragic. , there should have been a place for him here, but the Governor did not signal him to sit down, so he could only be a standing guard.
"Vide, we are old friends, you represent the will of the gods. , Ian represents the influence of the Church of the Burning Sun, and I represent the power of the kingdom.
The three of us working here are fully capable of deciding everything in Burnie Port. Tell us your plans. As a friend, I will try my best to support you. ”
Governor Bell did not hesitate to put Port Burnie and the local nobles on the table. As long as his interests were not harmed, he did not care what price the local nobles would pay.
"Governor, you are as generous as ever. I don't want much. The dark soil and the bright sun are both conditions for the survival of life.
How about leaving the dark soil to me, your honor will shine in the light place, and we will deal with the corruption in the dark place. ”
