Chapter 212

As for the nobles who were dissatisfied but had not taken substantial action to resist Rand, Rand did not do anything to them.

Anyway, if you don’t accept it, you will die if you really act.

As for the nobles and royal families in the southern kingdom, they were subject to the undead tide and could not immediately fight back against Rand, an illegal noble who forcibly developed their land.

This bought Rand valuable time for farming and development.

Rand naturally seized the opportunity to farm hard.

To further promote the development of agricultural technology, the high-yield wheat that Rand cultivates has been implemented on a small scale, but the offspring traits of this wheat are not very stable, and Rand dares to promote it on a large scale.

However, after experimenting with the basic agricultural technology, Rand believed that it was suitable for the present era, has written all the teachings.

For example, burning straw to obtain wood ash.

Nowadays, agricultural technology has been written specifically, called Agricultural Basics: Theory and Practice of Agricultural Technology.

Originally, Rand wanted to write about the doctrine, but later considering that there were too many doctrines that were not conducive to dissemination, it was just a curriculum for the church school, not as a doctrine.

Today Bishop Thurs came to report to Rand.

Rand wielded his giant sword while listening to Bishop Thurs' report on his work.

This young man who can turn into tentacles with both hands is now a superior professional. He grows up very fast, and he can no longer see how immature he was at the time.

Has grown into a reliable bishop that Rand can rely on.

"This is the recent development of sectarian work," said Bishop Thurs.

"I understand. Now you can have a holiday for a while now. I have worked hard recently." Rand put down his giant sword and said with a smile. "Now, the Full Moon Link has launched a lot of seafood dishes. You can try them all, I'll give it to you. You pay for it.”

Bishop Thurs nodded. As the person who was forced to become a cult when he stole the lord's bread, he really liked to eat it.

He rarely made such unscrupulous actions as licking his lips. Perhaps only in front of Rand could he show a little of the young posture.

Just as Bishop Thurs was about to say goodbye, he saw Elsa who had returned with great silence.

"The territory is close to the southern border, and the traces of the Paladin of the Torch Church were found." Elsa went out to kill people before Rand got up today, and has just returned.

It is normal for the Paladins of the Torch Church to appear near the territory.

Rand is now gradually deepening his cooperation with the Torch Church's Original Intention Sect. Today, Karin should come to Full Moon Leader to have a detailed discussion with him.

Among them, the cooperation projects include the Paladins who will be transferred to the Torch Church in other areas and accepting Rand's employment.

Now it seems that Saint Karin is quite active, and the Paladin of the Torch Church is coming so soon.

"That's great. When they get here, we will have to treat it well." Rand put down the giant sword in his hand and said.

Elsa shook her head with a serious expression and said, "There has been a massacre, and our missionaries have also died."

The missionaries of the Mother Goddess Sect are not just taurens. In some areas where Rand is not strong in control, Rand will still give priority to using human missionaries to avoid too many conflicts with local lords.

But every missionary is a top student who graduated from den school and is a talent that Rand has worked hard to cultivate, and the sacrifice is unbearable for Rand.

Moreover, the massacre was also unbearable for Rand. What he lacked the most was people. Everyone was Rand's precious wealth. How could someone dare to massacre on his territory?

You should know that technology can accelerate progress by relying on money and population development. It will take at least fifteen years for a person to grow into a qualified soldier or laborer.

"What?" Rand's original good mood disappeared instantly, and his face turned a little gray from the rosy he had just finished exercising. "Has the Paladins of the Torch Church massacred civilians?"

"From the traces of the scene, this is indeed the case." Elsa replied.

"Damn it." Rand cursed in a low voice. It might be a turtle or a utilitarian. "Your Excellency Karin should be the full moon soon. When she comes, I will lead the troops to the south to take a look."

"Let the guards prepare, prepare dry food, prepare weapons and armor, and they should set off before noon."

With the development of the Mother Goddess Sect, it was inevitable to have a sect and utilitarian party with the Torch Church, but I didn't expect it to come so early.

Bishop Thurs, who was standing by, was completely unbelievable. What did he hear?

Are the Paladins of the Torch Church massacre?

All the Torch Church believers that Thurs has met in the past three years are good people.

When His Excellency Taner first came to the den, he funded them to save them from starving to death immediately.

Although His Excellency Bishop Kahn likes to visit the kiln, he also likes to go to church schools to teach, or send gifts to some children who have lost their parents at their own expense.

Your Excellency Karin is also a believer of the Torch Church. Thurs doesn’t know what her position is, but she should have a high status. This Excellency opened a detective office in the resort villa and likes to do some work to help others.

Although Fenris always likes to secretly discuss the great and sacred messengers of Rand, he will be responsible for participating in some work in the resort villa even during his vacation, such as voluntary maintenance of public order.

The Torch Church's original intention sent Paladin guards to hired by the Lord Rand, and Thurs also knew some of them, and they were all good people.

Therefore, Thurs has a natural favorable impression of the people of the Torch Church.

Lord Rand's instructions to cooperate in depth with the Torch Church also proved his ideas.

Lord Rand also trusts the Torch Church.

Therefore, although Thurs knew that the Torch Church was divided, he always felt that it was just a battle of ideas, and the people in the Torch Church were all good people.

After all, apostate paladins like Lord Tan is also a good person, right?

But now it doesn't seem like that.

Thurs' breathing became a little rapid. He looked at Rand on the side and asked, "Can I go with the army? Lord God, I won't be dragging my back."

Rand looked at the unbelievable Thurs and nodded, "Of course, I will explain the question here to you."

Chapter 305 Torch Church and Torch Church, Holy Maiden and Son

After Karin arrived at the full moon collar, she soon met Rand with a serious face.

"Her Earl, what happened?" Karin asked.

Karin actually has a high opinion of Rand, but Karin doesn't want to see Rand often, because every time she sees Rand, it reminds her of being cooperating with a group of cult forces.

Her behavior has gradually faded away from the fundamentals of the Torch Church.

However, because the cooperation matters are so important, she cannot throw all this to Bishop Kahn.

Therefore, she had to close her detective office and come to the Full Moon Collector.

"Tell me as you go." Rand turned over and horse.

Rand's pro-guard also operated simultaneously.

The forces in the den have almost three military forces, one is the permanent army, on the border of the Burning Land, and one is the personal guards of Rand. Basically, where is Rand and they are, there are also the garrison troops from all over the country, and the garrison troops are not Will be moved easily.

Rand's personal guards are undoubtedly the smallest, but also the most elite.

With the cutting of the latest defeated Iron Golem, Rand's pro-guard army is gradually expanding, and the number of magical steel plate armor knights has gone from fifty to seventy.

In fact, it can be expanded to a hundred, but Rand felt that there was no need to be anxious. The personal guards would rather be in short supply than being too poor, and they needed strict selection. Therefore, the number of the personal guards is only growing steadily, and has not expanded immediately.

On the way to the southern border, Rand told Karin what happened.

Karin was also a little unbelievable. As the ruler of the Torch Church, she had never seen some bullshit things in the past, but she had never had any such thing as massacre of a village.

Karin, who rode alongside Rand, said, “If it is confirmed that it is true, I will deal with it myself.”

Rand asked his long-standing doubt: "Can your Paladins of the Torch Church still use the power of the torch Goddess' blessing if you do such a behavior?"

"No." Karin replied without hesitation.

"Then why?" Rand became even more confused.

"There are extremely rare paladins who are eligible for the blessing of the Torch Goddess." Karin replied, "It is..."

It is normal for outsiders not to understand this kind of thing. After all, the Torch Goddess is not that idle. If you are a Paladin, you have to bless you.

Compared with ordinary knights, the paladins of the Torch Church have relatively higher flame resistance. As for the rest, they are just more trained, more determined, and better at using flames to eliminate enemies.

It does not mean that the Paladins of the Torch Church are completely promoted by normal professionals during the promotion process.

When they use flames to eliminate evil and filth, it is equivalent to offering sacrifices to the Torch Goddess. The Torch Goddess will give back to the sacrifices in this process, which will allow the Paladins of the Torch Church to master some flame-related powers.

But the root of it is just a transaction, and has nothing to do with blessings.

Perhaps only those who sacrifice themselves for free can be called blessed.

After listening to Karin’s explanation, Rand roughly understood the situation: “So the Paladins of the Torch Church can be completely evil, right?”

"I don't want to admit this." Karin said with her lips pursed, wearing a crown covering her eyes today.

She always believed that a large part of the Torch Church became what it is today was because of her incompetence, although she had only been in charge of the Torch Church for only two years.

...

The utilitarian torch church paladins' iron hooves of war horses, stepping across the flat land.

"The road here is very well built, Lord Saint Son." A paladin of the Torch Church said respectfully to a young man with more gorgeous armor in the front row.

"Don't talk nonsense, this mission is very heavy." said the Paladin, who is called the Son of the Holy Knight.

He is the eldest son of the Grand Knight of the Church, and the now "orthodox" Son of the Torch Church.

Although this orthodox is considered by the utilitarians.

"Yes, Lord Saint Son." The paladins responded neatly.

They still have some grudges when massacring civilians, but it is completely acceptable to think that they are pagans and cults.

Their past study and life experiences made them quite kind, but if the opposite side was pagans and cultists.

Then the crying of women, children, elderly and weak can be ignored.

As utilitarians, they are very clear that if they want to gain enough benefits to maintain their status, they must use any means.

They came to the next village.

The way to determine whether it is a pagan is very simple. Ordinary villagers cannot distinguish the difference between the original intention school and their orthodox school.

Just a little inquiry can tell whether the massacre is needed.

After confirmation, the paladins of the Torch Church drew their weapons.

Ignoring the confusing eyes of missionaries, young and middle-aged people, women, children, elderly and weak, local garrison troops, and the militia launched a charge.

Then there was a one-sided massacre.

They also met Taurus missionaries in some villages.

The "orthodox" Holy Son did not expect that the heresy here could develop to such an extent.

Does Bishop Kahn have a good meal?

This time they brought a lot of combat power. Now it seems that Karin is dead, so she can also destroy Bishop Kahn's old immortality.

If the old holy city is destroyed together, they will be the only orthodox.

In this era when cults are becoming increasingly rampant, it is easy to put the Torch Church above everything else again.

By then, when his father grows old, he will be the king of the whole world.

The Son began to massacre with the Paladins of the Torch Church. They were familiar with taking human lives. The only mistake might be that they did not bring too many spare weapons.

Human flesh and bones are even tougher than they imagined. The swords are a little dull all the way.

...

When Rand arrived, there was only a burnt village.

"Scout, be careful!" Rand said in a voice, and carefully investigated, the enemy should be not far away.

This is not the first destroyed village they encountered.

It is a real chicken and dog that is not left behind, and Rand did not encounter any living habits.

He was already angry. He was threatened and extorted by that Baron Lake Source, but he did not make Rand angry as he did now.

They are all his people! His people!

"It's the Torch Church." Karin and Elsa made a judgment after conducting an investigation together.

Karin closed her mouth for a while after finishing her words, then said, “No, they are not the Torch Church.”

Rand looked at Karin in surprise. As a saint, her judgment should not be wrong. Isn’t it the Torch Church?

Karin's eyes glanced at the burned village again, with corpses all over the ground.
