- Chapter 74.2 - Confrontation (part 2)
Perhaps out of the humanitarian concern that the Church itself does not even know whether it exists, this time it was not a member of the nobility who spoke first, but rather the Patriarch whom Egbert’s group had briefly encountered in Jisuo Town, who took the lead in speaking.
“As long as you hand over Euphia and prove that Sadina City has not been infiltrated by the Dark Church, we from the Church will not take any unnecessary actions,” the Patriarch said, not only righteously indignant, but also with an air of “listening to us is the best choice for you.”
Euphia felt nauseated when she heard this, and just as she was about to retort, she was held back by the Lion’s Club leader.
The Lion’s Club leader was not really acquainted with this Patriarch, so to prevent Euphia from rushing up and pushing him back, only to be slandered back, it was better for this uninvolved uncle to take the stage and resolve it.
Moreover, the Lion’s Club leader, as neither the heir nor any well-known figure, the news of the internal division of the Alliance had not spread much. As an ordinary mercenary, he would have more sarcasm when confronting a Patriarch.
“Hand over the Alliance’s heir? Why don’t you just say that we should open the gates wide to welcome you wolves? And prove that Sadina City has not been infiltrated by the Dark Church, why don’t you prove why you are your father’s child?”
“Perhaps you are not even your father’s child, you are just the product after your mother cuckholded your father. In this way, your father, who is a typical believer of the God of Light, for the sake of love, for the sake of family, for the sake of the light, willingly accepted the green hat and raised another’s son.”
“Ah, sorry, I suddenly forgot, the people of the Church are all taken away when they are very young, you may not even know that you are not your father’s child, in this way, is it possible that your mother had a relationship with someone from the Church, and then gave birth to you?”
The Lion’s Club leader revealed a slightly silly and bashful smile, and finally added, “After all, the Light element is also exceptionally gifted in terms of bloodline inheritance, the number of mutations among ordinary people is not many, there are countless elementalists in the world, why is it that you are the only one who mutated the Light element from ordinary people, and just happened to be chosen and now sit in this position.”
The Patriarch below was so angry that he clutched his heart, and after a long while, he didn’t know how to refute the Lion’s Club leader.
Unlike the free upbringing of mercenaries, the children with Light elements who were taken away by the Church generally came into contact with the faith in the Light at a very young age.
Until they reach a certain level, mutate, awaken their wisdom, or are valued by the upper echelons and taken under their wing for personal guidance, otherwise, for a lifetime, the Church clergy are just synonymous with high-level tools.
And obviously, the Patriarch, who had never been struck by the truth and the cruelty of the world, had never experienced such blatant trash talk.
On the city wall, Euphia laughed wildly.
Even if the Church is not like the nobility, wanting to continue using mercenaries as slaves, that does not mean the Church is a good thing.
Euphia was full of disdain for this phenomenon where the two sides were allied, but each had their own intentions.
She had just wanted to expose this point.
And the actual situation was as the Lion’s Club leader had expected, if Euphia really rushed down and said those words, the Church officials who were most adept at cloaking themselves in righteousness and bestowing justice upon themselves, could find a million ways to refute it.
The Lion’s Club leader was different.
Euphia kept giving him a thumbs up.
The Lion’s Club leader raised his chin and disdained the Patriarch below, who had no fighting power.
But when the three children finally got up on the city wall, the Patriarch below, as if he had found a way to fight back, said righteously, “I originally gave you a chance to save yourselves, but since you are so ungrateful, we will have to punish you in place of the God of Light!”
Su Li:…
Ugh.
He had seen all kinds of scenes, but he had never seen this kind of self-brainwashing.
“I say, you repeat after me.”
The city wall was too high, and the distance below was too far, for too many reasons, Su Li shouting with his voice could not match the way Cyril casually used the wind element to amplify the sound to the entire battlefield.
Cyril immediately said excitedly, “Okay!”
And then, it was a thorough and complete dimensional strike.
“Appreciate? If you appreciate, why don’t you just kneel on the ground and wait respectfully. Even little kids know that if you want to achieve a goal, and you really have reverence, you should just kneel down and beg, just like when you worship the gods, you are always begging from the gods. Even for a god that may not have any actual effect, you are still willing to pray, how come you are not willing to kneel down and beg me? Moreover, I am not the kind of person who is ignorant of human feelings and worldly affairs, as long as you kneel down and beg me, I am not the kind of person who can’t tell you what it means to appreciate.”
“Pfft.” When Diz laughed, he realized he was in trouble.
Su Li’s voice could not be transmitted by Cyril’s wind element, but Diz was different.
Those words, the mockery, and then Su Li’s subsequent addition: “Speaking of which, isn’t the god the object of your greatest veneration? To casually replace him in action, wouldn’t that be very embarrassing. Moreover, if you can replace the god and act in his name, why don’t you directly proclaim that you are the god, and act in the name of your own divine identity, wouldn’t that be more comfortable than replacing someone else?”
Su Li was just simply trying to mock the people below.
They were going to fight a war, and they were planning to steal money, steal people, and brainwash, so why bother putting up a signboard.
He just didn’t know that the brain that had been bombarded by modern information, once given the order to refute the opinions of others, the mouth under its control could say things that were terrifying to the people of this world.
The few leading the charge within the city, who had grown somewhat due to Su Li’s influence over time, had some concept of the Pope manipulating others in the name of the gods.
But the people outside were completely different.
Just as Su Li had previously told the raven, it is impossible for people to believe in the beautiful that they think is good, which is essentially a hellish deception.
Now it’s the same, no matter how unwilling the Patriarch was to ponder Su Li’s words that should not have been pondered, he could not help but wonder why the commands of the gods were only conveyed to the Pope…
The next moment when the concept of “the gods only favor the strong” occupied his mind, the Patriarch also could not help but think, is the strength currently possessed considered strong, or is the strength that will be possessed in the future considered strong?
Indeed, a genius who has fallen is no longer a genius, but a young person with unlimited growth, compared to an elderly Pope, why would the gods favor the one with wrinkles all over his face…
He should not think this way about the Pope!
The Patriarch desperately shook his head, and before his mind was completely confused, he shouted, “You are just sophistry!”
“The people of Sadina City, their words disrespect the God of Light, scoff at the Church personnel, and are also unwilling to face their own mistakes, I, Lucien, hereby pronounce, you are guilty!”
As soon as the Patriarch’s words fell, the members of the Order of the Knights of Light, who had already taken up their positions below, erupted with an intensely sharp aura.
Compared to the Patriarch, whose mind had become muddled in an instant, the members of the Order of the Knights of Light did not even have the thought of questioning the Pope.
“It’s about time to fight.” Euphia’s expression revealed obvious ferocity.
Until now, her father was still lying in bed unable to take care of himself, and the elemental core had also been seriously injured by the attacker, and even if he recovered in the future, his father’s strength would be greatly diminished.
Originally, everything could have been slowly progressed, whether it was the replacement of the Mercenary Alliance’s heir or something else, the slow momentum would have made all the changes, although slow, eventually effective and persevering, steadily improving.
But now, everything has been shattered by external forces.
Euphia had always been harboring resentment in her heart.
Now that the Church people wanted to be the vanguard, Euphia naturally would not miss the opportunity to roast the bird.
The fire elemental factors were circling around her, and the concentration was even such that the people with elements could clearly see a dark red haze around Euphia.
Even Su Li, who could not see any elements, could also notice that Euphia’s clothes were moving without wind.
But even so, Euphia seemed to be waiting for something and did not directly rush down the city wall.
Su Li sighed helplessly and said softly, “The enemy army currently has no leader speaking, which is equivalent to the Church personnel taking the lead by default.”
“So, go. Whatever emotions you bear, whoever from below bears the consequences, they deserve it.”
It is difficult for those on the battlefield to judge the rights and wrongs between each other, but for political decision-makers, if they still choose to do so when they can avoid it, it can only mean that they have already prepared to bear the consequences and regard them as necessary payments.
And as the responding party, if there is still unnecessary mercy, it can only be said that they have lived to the end.
Su Li closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he slowly approached the edge of the city wall. There were some holes in that area that would allow him to clearly see below.
This is Su Li’s decision, no matter what additional things there are, as long as he chooses to stop, Euphia will certainly listen to his opinion.
But not only will Su Li not stop, he even hopes that Euphia can do better.
Ignoring the momentary self-condemnation in his heart, the next moment, the always rational Su Li, affixed the label of a worldly mortal to himself.
Because he is human, that is why when he saw the Knights of Light below being burned to charcoal by the raging flames, his stomach kept rolling and his heart felt heavy.
And also because he is human, he is acutely aware that weakening the enemy’s combat power at this time can provide more opportunities for the mercenaries later.
A tentative confrontation…
Are the people behind the enemy soldiers judging his character from afar?
Su Li guessed as such, but he also knew that this long-distance evaluation had no meaning.
Below.
Euphia snatched a knight’s longsword, hurriedly blocking several longswords that were slashing towards her, and then with a backhand, using the fire element, she guided a long column of fire in front of her, forcing the Knights of Light to retreat, and then she straight up stabbed the closest knight in the heart with the longsword in her hand.
