Withdrawing the tyrant's right hand, Todd's face was serious like never before.

The man behind the slave trader who hooked up with the church is actually the prince of the holy city? And this person is the liberal leader supported by the Kingdom of Muxi with all his strength? !

Kneeling down, looking at the unconscious church deacon on the ground, Todd pulled off the silver cross on his neck and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Look at him, don't let him die, he's still useful to me." Todd opened the door, walked into the aisle of the cabin, opened the soul space, and began to summon the officials of Muxicheng.

Cumberland, Emerson, Terrence, Joe... a group of people appeared in the conference room of the institute, but when Mary and Dion were summoned, there was a problem.

No matter how Todd urged energy, Mary and Dion just didn't respond.

Todd hurriedly asked the others: "Has the mission to the Holy Acropolis come back recently?"

Emerson replied: "Your Majesty, the last letter from the mission was a week ago. What happened?"

Todd's heart is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If the soul space summons someone without any response, the worst possibility is that the person has died.

"Are there any new trends in the Holy Acropolis?"

Cumberland said solemnly: "The church has proposed several times to the nobles of the Holy Acropolis that the refugees should be resettled in batches. Part of it will be accepted by the Kingdom of Musi and some will be provided by the church. Therefore, the refugees of the Holy Acropolis gathered on the border More and more."

Terrence added: “As long as the church has many kingdoms in the diocese and each country help to settle a few households, it will soon be able to properly handle all the refugees; but Muxicheng is different, whether it is food, shelter or security conditions. , We can’t do it like them. Because of the delay in accepting refugees, the church has used the excuses of “brothers to ignore”, “selfish nouveau riche”, “corrupted people who violate the doctrine,” and so on to attack us, and It has won considerable public opinion support."

Todd was furious and punched the table with a heavy hammer, startling the participants.

Retrieving the ledgers and images of the church slave trade from memory, Todd sent them to everyone's computer. Accompanied by the sound of inhaling cold breath, after a while, the room was filled with anger and curses one after another.

"This group of **** should all go to hell!"

"A group of demons in holy clothes!"

"Selling believers to infidels, the church is already rotten to the roots!"

Todd turned his attention to Emerson: "If we break with the church now, what is the chance of winning?"

"break?!"

Emerson was taken aback for a moment. He was a little surprised. Why should the king be so anxious to confront the church?

"The chance of victory is not great. The religious status of the church among all the dioceses cannot be shaken for the time being. If we really want to confront it head-on, as long as the pope gives an order, all kingdoms that believe in the Father's Church will send troops to unite and encircle us."

"What if I make all these books and those witnesses public?"

Emerson thought carefully for a while, and finally shook his head: "These evidences may be able to make the kings under the rule of the church suspicious, but they are not enough to shake the foundation of the church."

Listening to Emerson's analysis, Todd sighed slightly: "If you want to move the church, do you still have to start with the roots of religion?"

"Your Majesty, can I ask? You seem to be very nervous about the situation in the Holy Acropolis." Emerson looked at Todd and asked in a low voice, "Is it related to the church's slave trade?"

Todd thought about it again and again, and finally told Emerson about the confession of the church deacon.

The latter's face changed a lot when he heard the news: "You mean that the liberals of the Holy Acropolis might also turn to the church?!"

Todd pondered for a while: "I'm not sure if the church has completely controlled the situation, but one thing is certain, the Twilight Mission is now in a very dangerous situation. So I want the Twilight Knights to march to the border. , Put pressure on the Holy Acropolis, forcing them to treat the mission carefully..."

"This is wrong!" Emerson hurriedly stopped Todd's thoughts: "If the kingdom's army is driven to the border, the church will surely seize the handle, saying that we are taking advantage of the fire to rob, and take this opportunity to win over the Holy Acropolis. Opposition forces."

Todd was a little anxious: "What about the Kingdom Mission? Just leave them alone?!"

Emerson looked at the king and shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, I can understand your feelings, but this matter cannot be resolved by force, but diplomatic means. We can send another mission or contact The friendly forces in the Holy Acropolis..."

Todd didn't even have the heart to listen to Emerson's words, his heart was full of chagrin and self-blame.

Whether it's Dion or Marie, these two are members of the envoy appointed by him. To a certain extent, he personally pushed these two into a desperate situation.

At the same time, he also understands that Emerson's words are extremely reasonable. At the moment the church is in full force, and it is indeed the most stupid way to start a war rashly. Only through internal division and expansion of influence can the Kingdom of Muxi possess the strength that rivals the church.

However, he really couldn't ignore the Twilight West Mission...

How to do?

What should I do? !

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Emerson's cry awakened Todd from his contemplation.

"What's wrong?"

"I just asked you, how is the war in the north?"

Todd just remembered that he had not informed the officials in the Western City of the great victory in the north.

With a wave of his arm, the battle scene of Guqi City appeared in the center of the meeting room in 3D projection.

Watching Muxi and the Froststone coalition gain one victory after another, everyone present uttered a wave of cheers overwhelming them.

"God Bless Muxi!"

"Long live your majesty!"

"The glory of God belongs to the Son!"

Just when everyone was intoxicated by the huge fleet, the wealth of the mountains, the majestic warriors, and the ferocious beasts, Todd sat in the uppermost seat, his gray face reflected the light of the projection, and there was nothing at the corners of his mouth. Proud and proud.

Cumberland, who is always paying attention to the king, elbows Emerson beside him, motioning him to look at the forward.

Emerson saw Todd's expression, sighed helplessly, and said softly to him: "Your Majesty, as the leader of a country, sometimes the overall situation is important. The necessary sacrifices are inevitable..."

Todd didn't speak, but just nodded slightly.

Waiting for all the images to be played, Emerson clapped his palms and awakened the people who were still immersed in joy: "This victory your Majesty has achieved in the North is of extremely important strategic significance for the Kingdom of Muxi. On the one hand, this victory will allow us to settle refugees in the north and reduce the pressure on Western City; on the other hand, the stability of the northern base area also means that the kingdom has a safe retreat."

Todd waved his hand: "About five days later, the fleet will be docked at the barbarian camp. After all the personnel are properly placed, the fleet will set sail and return to Muxicheng. During this time, the kingdom will take care of the Holy Guard as soon as possible. Refugees work and gradually transfer them to the port area, ready to board the ship to the north at any time."

After discussing the affairs of the kingdom with the officials for a while, Todd, depressed, returned to the cabin, walked to the deck and looked at the sea in deep thought.

Every day at sea is a torment for Todd.

He would always try to summon Mary and Dion in the soul space from time to time. What disappointed him time and time again was that the two did not respond.

When the fleet finally landed, Todd saw Rachel and Deirdre in the crowd on the deck.

Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of people, the worried Todd took the two daughters back to the barbarian building first.

"You mean, His Royal Highness Sinclair of the Holy Acropolis has a secret slave trade with the church?" Rachel frowned, and while taking off Todd's armor, he gently shook his head and said: "This one Things are beyond my expectation. In fact, His Highness Sinclair has a very good reputation both in the folk and in the upper class. In people’s impression, he is one of the few nobles who cares about people’s livelihood and suffering, and The viewpoint of independence of military power he put forward also has a large number of fans among generals."

Todd threw his heavy armor on the ground, and lay down on the recliner with a long sigh: "I have seen his personal introduction. It is precisely because of these characteristics of him that the Kingdom of Muxi decides to support him. But , The slave trade always makes me think that he has other ideas."

Rachel walked to Todd's side, a pair of soft touches gently pressed the top of his head: "My Majesty, shouldn't you worry about more than this?"

Todd, who had closed his eyes and enjoyed the head massage, took a look at Rachel, paused for a moment, and said, “I’m in the soul space, I can’t contact Dion and Mary~lightnovelpub.net~ Rachel's hand stopped: "Can't get in touch? Have you tried again? "

"I have been trying for the past few days, but the results have ended in failure." Todd asked Rachel, "When you were in the Presbyterian Church, did you know about Clarence's "Soul Link" ability? Under what circumstances will there be an ability to interrupt the connection?"

Richel thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head: "The abilities held by the elders are top secret in the organization. I'm afraid I can't give you the answer."

Seeing Todd's anxious appearance, Rachel asked softly: "Are you worried that they two have already...?"

The former frowned and said with a headache: "At the beginning, it was my decision to send Dion and Mary to the Holy Acropolis. Right now, these two lives are unclear, and I am afraid I will bear the greatest responsibility."

Rachel lightly touched Todd's forehead with his hand: "There is a way to know their life and death."

Rachel and Todd glanced at each other and moved their gazes to Deirdre's body in unison. The latter was busy storing the armor, and when he saw the former's gaze, a puzzled expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Ten minutes later, Deirdre slowly opened his eyes and said to Todd and Rachel: "The two of them should be alive. I can't find their souls."

Hearing this, Todd breathed a sigh of relief, relieved.

Rachel analyzed: "Just like using a wooden plank to block the sun, maybe someone has used some method to prevent the link of the soul."

Todd followed her train of thought and added: "Anyone who can perform ability blockade should be very familiar with Clarence's "Soul Link" ability."

Speaking of this, the two thought of a force at the same time.

The Presbyterian Church.
