National God: Am I regarded as an NPC by the natives?

Chapter 86 Kingdom Border
"We have already inquired about this. The God of Holy Light is a great and benevolent god."

"But the oracle sent by the gods does not conflict with the request of our Kingdom of Keweil, right?" the kingdom's envoy smiled.

"On the contrary, because of the oracle of the gods, it seems inappropriate for us to ignore this matter."

"In that case, that's okay. This time we agree to the kingdom's request."

Mana chuckled lightly, but did not reveal the other person's thoughts.

This is basically about everyone getting what they need. The church needs development and reputation, and the kingdom needs new backers.

If it can be reached in a peaceful and quick way, Mana really has no reason to reject the other party.

Although the Holy Light Religion has the protection of the God of Holy Light, it has been established for too short a time and lacks foundation.

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy, we are preparing to leave for the Principality of Demoli tomorrow. We also hope that you can inform King Kewell to provide some material help when we arrive at the Principality of Demoli."

After reaching a cooperation, Mana also started to make some requests.

"According to our Lord's oracle, everything in the Demoli Principality has become unusable, so in the future, we can only get food and drinking water from the Kingdom of Kewell."

"And facing the plague spread by the God of Plague in the Principality of Demoli, we need to prepare various medical supplies to prevent some unexpected incidents."

"God of Plague?" The envoy was a little shocked. "Is this true?"

"Of course, our Lord had already sent down the oracle when the cult was established, and most people in Sadek City knew about it." Mana nodded.

"I see. I have indeed heard similar rumors. At that time, I thought it was just a rumor spread by some civilians who were too afraid of the plague."

The special envoy suddenly realized: "I didn't expect that there is still an evil god. Originally, I wanted to rest for a day before leaving, but now it seems that I have no time."

"Archbishop Mana, I will return to the royal city immediately and inform His Majesty the King of this matter. We will fully support you then."

"At the same time, we will also report this matter to the Canghai Empire, hoping to receive support from the empire."

"If the plague spread by an evil god known as the plague is not dealt with in time, the disaster will spread to more places."

Mana said seriously: "This matter really needs attention."

"My Lord once said that there are two evil gods in the world of Canglan, namely the God of the Undead, the common enemy of living things, and the God of Plague, the common enemy of living things."

"The God of the Undead will kill all animals and various biological species and turn their corpses into undead."

"The God of Plague is even more terrifying. Everything will become food for him to cultivate plague protozoa."

"The plague is not only a crisis for the Kingdom of Kewell, but also a crisis for the Canglan Continent."

The special envoy solemnly said: "Thank you Archbishop Mana for the reminder. I will report these things one by one. If the church has any needs, you can put them forward and we will do our best to meet them."

"Not only our Kingdom of Keweir, we will also contact several nearby principalities and the Canghai Empire to try our best to help the church."

Mana was not polite when she heard this and directly stated her request.

"As for help, what we mainly need is population help. If possible, I hope the Kingdom can help promote the church's beliefs."

"This may be a protracted battle. To defeat and limit the plague, we need more priests to drive away the plague."

"You should also have discovered that the plague has not invaded the Kingdom of Kweir, right? This is precisely because of the existence of my lord."

"In the place protected by the Holy Light, the evil gods retreat, and the plague does not dare to invade easily."

"If the holy light can cover more places, it may be possible to prevent many evil gods hiding in the dark from appearing."

After hearing this, the special envoy did not directly agree.

"This matter is of great importance. I don't have that much power, but I will report it truthfully."

"At the same time, I will also persuade His Majesty the King to help the church as much as possible."

After the incident of the special envoy from the Kingdom of Keweil, the Holy Light Church quickly prepared to set off for the Principality of Demoli.

Under Mana's mobilization, an advance force was ready.

Oller led a team of 500 Holy Light Knights to open the way ahead.

Jessica led [-] Holy Light Priests, followed by [-] reserve Priests.

Finally, there is the Holy Light Warrior Legion led by Visio, also a team of 500 people.

In addition, there is also a hundred-man temple guard team.

The leader of the Temple Guard is a white-winged man named Crow.

It's not that Di Qiu is unwilling to let humans join the Holy Light Priest team and the Temple Guard team.

It's just that the current situation in Isadeq City means that most people are still unable to reach the level of devout believers.

Especially for some powerful people, such as extraordinary people, the speed of their faith improvement is slower than that of ordinary people.

Except for the ordinary human beings who are preparing priests, there are almost no human figures in the temple guards and Holy Light priests at present.

It can be said that this advance force is entirely composed of white-winged people from Boluo Mountain.

Fortunately, in addition to Di Qiu's own team, the goddess of glory also passed a team of 500 people.

150 extraordinary priests, 150 reserve priests, and [-] extraordinary warriors.

In total, there were more than 2000 people.

Facing the God of Plague, everyone felt a little confused at this time.

In the battle of gods, many times, no matter whether it is a disadvantage or an advantage, everyone only needs to follow the command to kill the enemy or treat the wounded.

But facing this god of plague, they had no good solution.

"Jessica, what do you think we should do next?" Visio asked with some confusion.

"I'm not very sure, but Archbishop Qiu Ge also came here. Instead of asking me, you might as well ask them."

"The Guild of Light has a long history, they should have a clue." Jessica said helplessly.

Archbishop Qiuge joined the Holy Light Church after returning to Sadek City.

Although he was not a priest, the Church of Light had been in the human empire for so long. Mana thought that the other party should have read the relevant classics, so she asked him to follow her.

"Jessica, you should call me by my first name. We are all under the command of the God of Holy Light now. There is no need to be as polite as before." Qiu Ge said helplessly.

"As for the plague, I actually don't have any good solutions."

"When there was a plague before, we would send people to isolate the plague area, and then let the priests check some people in the isolation area. If the plague could be dispelled, we would treat them and let them leave."

"If the plague on your body is too severe and cannot be dispelled, then you can only restrict the other party."

"I have read relevant classics. Some kingdoms have simpler methods of dealing with the plague. They directly isolate and burn people infected with the plague to death."

"But these are just plagues caused by various reasons."

At this point, Qiuge's expression became solemn: "My Lord said that the plague in the Principality of Demoli comes from the God of Plague."

"In addition to the plague, the Principality of Demoli also has the existence of plague protozoa. In this case, we don't have any good clues at all."

"None of us know exactly what the plague protozoa is. The only way now is to establish a safe base near the Principality of Demoli."

"We continue to expand in all directions through our base areas. When we encounter some civilians who can be treated, we help drive away the plague. Those who cannot be cured have no choice but to kill them."

Jessica was silent, had no idea at all, and didn't know how to fight.

After a while, Jessica said helplessly: "Archbishop Mana said something similar to yours, telling us not to worry."

"My Lord has issued an oracle to Archbishop Mana alone. Controlling the plague is a continuous invisible war."

"What we need to do is to prevent the spread of the plague. Treating the civilians of the Principality of Demoli is not the main purpose."

"The methods of an evil god are not something that a priest can easily detect."

"What we need to do is to build a defense line to prevent the plague protozoa and those infected with the plague from the Principality of Demoli from entering the Kweir Empire."

"My lord has made a contract with the gods and the evil god. This divine war will use the Kingdom of Kweir, Demoli and the three nearby principalities as the battlefield."

"So we don't need to worry about the spread of the plague to other areas and can reduce a lot of manpower."

Qiu Ge nodded, "It seems that apart from my lord, there are other kind-hearted gods among the other gods."

"Haha, don't be too happy too early. Undead and plague are the common enemies of living things." Jessica smiled helplessly.

"Even if it is an evil god, such as the Goblin Evil God before, the believers under their command are also living creatures, and they are naturally enemies of these plagues and undead."

"According to what my Lord said, the appearance of the God of Plague should have been fought by all the gods together." "Unfortunately, there are many evil gods. They are afraid of the God of Plague, and they are also afraid of my Lord. In the end, except for the Goddess of Glory, there are no The other gods are willing to work together to fight against the Plague God."

Qiu Ge seemed a little helpless, and his eyes couldn't help but look into the distance.

"The gods have come, it's a troubled time."

"Okay, after telling you so much, I mainly hope you can understand our purpose."

"Don't rush to deal with the plague. Our goal is just to prevent the spread of the plague."

"The fact that Archbishop Mana did not personally come to preside over this matter shows everything. The main goal of the Holy Light Church is still the Kingdom of Keweir and the nearby Canghai Empire."

"We need to take this opportunity to cover more places with the Holy Light to prevent other evil gods from suddenly appearing and falling again to a country that is not covered by the Holy Light."

Everyone chatted about many things along the way, and after almost a week, they finally arrived at the junction of the Kingdom of Kewell and the Principality of Demoli.

From a distance, there is nothing unusual about the Demoli Principality.

The lush plants in the mountain forest looked full of life, not like they were infected by the plague at all.

"Everyone, although you are members of the Holy Light Church, please do not cross the borders of the Kingdom at will."

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe came over.

"I am a priest of the Light God Religion, Saru, who is also the main person in charge here."

"Although the Principality of Demoli doesn't seem to be in much danger, in fact, there are countless poisonous insects in that seemingly vibrant mountain forest."

"Just a few bites from these poisonous insects are enough to make a person infected with the plague and fall to the ground."

Saru pointed to the forest in front and reminded Jessica and others.

"Poisonous insects that can infect people with plague? This should be the plague protozoa that my lord mentioned, right?" Visio frowned.

"It should be plague protozoa. After all, even ordinary poisonous insects cannot survive the plague sent by the God of Plague." Jessica nodded.

"Pastor Salu, I am Jessica, an archbishop of the Holy Light Church and the main person in charge of the team sent by the Holy Light Church this time."

"Now that you know something about the situation here, how about explaining the situation to us?"

Saru said directly: "Actually, I don't know much about it. Our people cannot enter the Principality of Demoli to collect intelligence."

"The only thing we can do now is to isolate the threat of the plague."

"But it's not very effective. These plague bugs don't move during the day and are extremely difficult to detect at night."

"Isolation is also extremely troublesome. We can only have priests constantly treat soldiers who are bitten by poisonous insects."

"After all this time, we are very short on manpower."

"Is that so?" Jessica nodded thoughtfully: "Have you ever seen anyone coming from the Principality of Demoli?"

"I have seen quite a few. Some people with unhealthy-looking complexions will come from the Principality of Demoli from time to time. After being inspected by our priests and determined to be fine, we will temporarily isolate them."

"After observing for about ten days, there is no abnormality. Only when we are sure that there is no plague, we will let the other party leave." Saru said.

"From now on, we will no longer accept refugees from the Principality of Demoli." Upon hearing this, Jessica took out the warrant given by King Keweil and said to other border soldiers.

"Why?" Saru asked puzzledly.

"The Holy Light Church has been recognized by the Light Religion, and the church has even begun to integrate into the Holy Light Church. Isn't the God of Holy Light also a benevolent and kind god?"

"Archbishop Jessica, I want to know why you issued such an order that is not in line with church teachings."

Jessica shook her head: "You must understand that our enemy this time is an evil god."

"If the evil god hides the plague in the body of a refugee, do you think a mortal can detect it?"

"Don't say ten days. If the evil god wants to do this, it won't be a problem even if he hides the virus in the opponent's body for a year or two."

"This" Saru was speechless.

"But isn't this a bit too cruel? Many refugees do not have viruses. Do we want to prevent so many refugees from receiving treatment because of the possible presence of viruses?"

"No, this is not cruel." Qiu Ge spoke at this time.

"Like you, I used to be a member of the Church of Light. I was the archbishop of Sadek City, and now I am an archbishop of the Holy Light Church."

"In order to protect a small number of refugees, putting more civilians at risk is truly cruel, isn't it?"

"Maybe you can't understand it, but you have to understand that although the Holy Light is kind, it is not light."

"Light represents kindness and kindness."

"The Holy Light represents justice and judgment, followed by kindness and mercy."

"The mercy of the Holy Light is based on the safety of the people under the command of the God of Holy Light. If the premise of mercy is that the people of the Holy Light cannot be protected, that is something that is inconsistent with the teachings of the Holy Light."

Saru didn't speak when he heard this.

Indeed, the two gods were different, and so were the teachings of the Church.

And he could understand Jessica's approach, ensuring the safety of others first, and then considering the refugees.

This idea is also what most people think.

It's just that the teachings of the Illuminati Cult are to give priority to protecting other people and performing good deeds.

Even if you are in a dangerous situation, don't forget to protect the safety of civilians.

It's just that he couldn't adapt to this method for a while.

"You have to understand that if there is a problem with the refugees you choose to protect in the Kingdom of Kweir, who will be responsible?"

Qiu Ge understood the other party's thoughts and couldn't help but comfort him.

"This is not a matter of one or two people. This is the safety of tens of thousands of lives. We need to consider it more comprehensively."

"Moreover, the Principality of Demoli is not yet a subject of the God of Holy Light, so the level of priority protection cannot be compared with the people of the God of Holy Light."

"Okay, Qiu Ge, you can lead a group of priests to check out the refugee shelter." Jessica said.

"In the future, a refugee center will be established outside the Kingdom of Kweir. If refugees come, they will be arranged to live in the refugee center."

"However, these people who came from the Principality of Demoli must not be allowed to enter the Kingdom of Keweil."

"Providing them a place to live would be kind enough."

"What we need to do now is to gather these refugees together and wait for the next oracle from our Lord."

"Visio, you lead the Holy Light Warriors to take over the area near the priest and build a priest's residence in various locations."

Jessica then said to Visio: "The residences of the priests need to be isolated from other people. Once there is a problem with the priests, we will lose the means to resist the plague."

"Around the priest, you should also pay attention to the places where the Holy Light Warriors live."

"This was followed by the need to create accommodation that was isolated from other soldiers."

"Not only refugees, but even soldiers who are bitten by poisonous insects and infected with the plague need to be careful."

Jessica's orders were issued one by one.

Suddenly, the situation at the border of the Kingdom of Kweir changed.

All those who had contracted the plague were quarantined.

Of course, Jessica is not unkind.

These people who have been infected by the plague do not have as many restrictions as refugees, but they also cannot return to the Kingdom of Kweir.

Under Jessica's arrangement, many refugees broke out in protests.

However, these protests were suppressed by thunderous means by the knights led by Oler.

Although it seems that the Holy Light Religion’s handling methods are much less humane than those of the Light Religion.

But the situation at the border has indeed improved.

At least under the inspection of the Holy Light Cult, many refugees were once again found to have the plague lurking in their bodies.

One can imagine the consequences if they entered the Kingdom of Keweir.

　It’s been such a sleepy day. I originally wanted to do two updates, but it seems I’ll do it tomorrow.
