, The fastest update Your Majesty, the spectacle missed the country! latest chapter!

Vil Roach didn't sell it anymore, his mouth moved, and he said very directly and surely a number... that even made Bruno's eyes constricted slightly.

"How come there are so many?!"

Bruno said in surprise: "If you really want to follow your statement, then the Church of Illumination has smashed almost one-third of the annual tithe collected in the Augures area?!"

"Yes!"

Will Roach nodded seriously:

"You may not have much impression of that piece of land, but as a former Holy Religious Army, I know very well...The annual supply of food and grass that the church sends to the desert in the Augures area has reached an incredible level!

"I have not been sensitive to these figures before, but after getting your reuse and being appointed as the Minister of the Faithfulness Department, I only started to look through the accounts and check the income and expenditures. So... I didn’t until a few days ago. Suddenly realized that there are many doubts about the layout of the Church of Illumination in the Augures area..." As he said, Ville Roach couldn't help showing a trace of shame.

In his opinion, if he could realize this earlier, he might be able to remind Bruno this morning, so that the Principality of Idar and the Protestant can explore the hidden secrets of the Augures area earlier.

"It's not too late to say..."

Bruno naturally saw the expression of Will Roach, and said with a serious face:

"This information is especially important for the development of Protestantism and for the current Principality of Idar! Whenever you think of anything related to the Bright Church in the future, you can directly report it to me!"

"clear!"

Upon hearing this, Will Roach nodded quickly.

As the understanding of the Duchy of Idar and the Protestant religion deepened, Ville Roach's sense of belonging to this land became stronger.

Although Bruno has carried out extremely strict control over the spread and development of Protestantism, it is precisely because of this that many complicated trivialities are missing in Protestantism.

This has indeed weakened the authority and autonomy of Protestantism, but it has enabled people like Vil Roach who have a sincere belief in the teachings of Protestantism to perform their mission in a purer environment.

In fact, this is exactly what the Protestant believers expected.

After describing the situation in the Augures area in detail with Bruno, Will Roach walked with Mike, but... Bruno fell into contemplation.

Even if you think about it with your toes, you can understand that such a large sum of money obviously cannot be used to teach and wash the ground.

Because... If you want to teach and clean up the land, where do you need to choose the Augures area?

No matter how remote and desolate the eastern part of the empire, the Principality of Idar is located, isn't it much stronger than the Augures area, which is filled with yellow sand and has been fighting forever?

not to mention…

Even Ville Roach, who was once the commander of the Crusade Army, didn’t know when the Church of Illumination began to invest money in the Augures area!

Hundreds of years of investment, but today's Ogoures area is still the same, and even the situation in the Ogoures area is getting more and more serious!

Even if the archbishop in red was caught by Idar's crooked nose and came back straight away, Bruno, the Duke of Idar, would never believe the rhetoric given by the Bright Church.

Still feel the light of the **** of light?

I bother!

and…

The most important thing is that, as a nobleman, Bruno does not know the specific amount of tithes collected by the Bright Church every year, but with his own mathematical calculations and his understanding of the various noble leaders in this era, he can also calculate An approximate amount.

According to Will Roach’s description,

The Church of Illumination will invest about one-third of the total tithe tax in the Augures area.

That's a tithe!

You must know that the tithes collected by the church are different from ordinary taxes.

Not to mention the Norman Empire, even the people of the Kingdom of Basel and the Duchy of Sidon have to pay taxes to the Bright Church in the holy city of Bethlehem!

And this also means that except for the heretics of the Odin Empire, whether you are a believer of the Church of Light, as long as you live on this continent, you will be compulsorily levied a tax of "one out of ten". Or food!

Focus on it!

The scope of tax collection covers the entire continent except for the Odin Empire!

Even in this era of extremely low productivity with the theme of the backward small-scale peasant economy, this is a wealth that can even be equivalent to a country's annual tax!

Moreover, this does not even count the annual tribute that the Principality of Sidon, which has an extremely sincere faith in the church, to the Bright Church!

But such a large sum of money,

But were all smashed by the Church of Illumination into the chaotic Augures area? !

Even Bruno, who is a traverser, couldn't help feeling a little weird, even shocked, when he first heard Ver Roach's words.

"Mundell!" Bruno shouted suddenly.

"My lord, do you have any instructions..." Mundell quickly opened the door and walked in.

"You go to the CIA in Idar and tell Creel personally that he will send people to the Augures area to thoroughly investigate everything about the Church of Illumination on that land! Also, you must send experienced officers. Member!" Bruno said in a deep voice.

"clear!"

Augures area.

This piece of land at the junction of the three countries is called the Ogoures region. In the final analysis, it is because of the Ogouree Desert in the northeastern part of the Principality of Sidon.

As the second largest desert on the entire continent, the Ogure Desert does not have a clear concept of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Yellow sand in the sky, flying sand and rocks, this kind of situation is the norm on this land.

Coupled with brutal bandits and criminals from various countries who fled to this land, the Augures area has become a place that almost every business traveller fears to avoid.

It is also for this reason that the southwestern part of the Ogurez region, the land in the Ogure Desert, has always been inaccessible, and even compared to the Forest of Warcraft, it is not much better.

so…

Whether they are robbers or murderers, whether they are unfortunately born here or criminals exiled here, most of them live on the plains in the northeastern part of the Augures region.

These wicked gangsters acted in this unlawful place, causing countless killings and tragedies.

only…

The church does not care about this.

The sky is full of yellow sand, and the wind is howling.

Compared to other deserts on this continent, perhaps due to the unique geographical environment and monsoon climate, the wind season in the Ogure Desert often comes earlier.

Therefore, when the people of the Principality of Idar are immersed in the joy of the harvest brought by the golden autumn in October, the Ogure Desert finally ushered in the wind season in the second half of the year.

In the desert, the windy season can often be regarded as the most dangerous time.

But,

Just in the desert where you can't see the end, a group of people are looming under the cover of wind and sand.

This is a camel team.

There are forty or fifty camels in the team.

In this desert, such a team can actually be regarded as an extremely rare "big force".

Under normal circumstances, when walking through the desert, the number of camels in the team is definitely greater than the total number of people in the team.

Because in addition to acting as a mount, the camel often carries a lot of luggage and drinking water to provide logistical support for the team walking through the desert.

only…

The camel team that was marching in the sand was obviously different from an ordinary team.

In addition to the figures riding on the camels, at the end of the line, there seemed to be many figures, in the boundless sea of ​​sand, following the camel team stumbling forward.

"Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is the sound of shackles and chains colliding with each other in the wind.

The crowd following the camel team were obviously all the prisoners of this team. They were barefoot, stepping on the sand with difficulty, dragging heavy shackles and moving forward slowly.

They wanted to stop and rest, but... the other end of the chain was tied to the camel in front.

If someone is physically weak and cannot keep up with the team, then the only possibility is to be abandoned in this seldom-traveled desert and fend for themselves.

so…

Although they don't know what is waiting for them, their survival instinct still supports them, and they are struggling to follow the camel team.

Bloodstains stretched from the ruptured wounds on their bodies to the soles of their feet, and bloodstains were also left behind them.

but…

In this endless desert, these traces of people who have walked through will almost be obliterated by the wind and sand in a blink of an eye.

Their throats are very dry, but the daily amount of drinking water is so small that their minds are a little dizzy and they walk swaying.

"Damn guys! Give me a hurry to go! Only those who can go to the end can experience the light of the **** of light and obtain the salvation of the gods!"

One of the camel team gurgled a sip of water and moisturized his throat. Then he turned around and shouted at the exhausted people behind him.

Although most of these guys riding on camels are wrapped in a white robe to resist the flying sand and dust, the pale golden cross on their chests demonstrates their identity as soldiers of the Holy Order.

That's right, they... are all the Crusaders belonging to the Bright Church.

Riding a camel by himself, with enough water and rest time, but he reprimanded the shackled walkers for their slow progress.

Although this may seem ridiculous, the large-scale double-standard scene in front of us has been universally approved by most of the Crusaders:

"If you can't go through all the hardships, how can you be favored by the God of Light, you **** unbelievers, stupid sinners! Without the mercy of the church, how can you be born again?!"

While talking, a Crusader soldier took out the whip from his hand and slammed it on a shackled "criminal".

He only heard an abrupt groan from the man, and then he fell heavily into the sand and could not get up again.

Obviously, that person's physical condition has reached the limit he can bear.

Upon seeing this, the ordinary people who had been called "criminals" showed fearful expressions, and they dared not speak out.

They are not the murderous bandits living in the Augures area, but the most ordinary civilians. Not only can they survive in this chaotic land, but they are also always afraid of the robbers and robbers of other forces. The looting and invasion of bandits.

They also wanted to leave, but... they couldn't leave at all.

Because... no matter how fierce robbers and robbers are, they still need to eat and drink Lazard.

As carriages and horses on the mainland circumvented one after another, powerful bandit groups began to compete for territory with each other, and under each power, there were many civilians.

These civilians grow food and provide food for specific forces. Therefore, although the life is difficult, if they are honest and obedient, they can barely make a living.

only…

Just a week ago, all this changed.

Dozens of Crusaders broke into their village arbitrarily, burned their houses, and gathered all the villagers together, putting shackles on their hands and feet.

The Crusaders referred to these civilians as "sinners" or... "guilty people".

But the problem is...

Muklin Hafid didn't know why he was guilty and never thought he was guilty.

As a young man who was unfortunately born on this land, from the year he was able to work, he began to follow his father to cultivate the land, devoting all his energy to the cultivation of the land.

He has never done anything about murder or looting, nor has he attempted fraud and stealing. Muklin Hafid has always been a duty farmer, guarding his own one-third of an acre and living hard.

But the arrival of the Crusades broke his original peaceful life.

Driven by the Crusades, they were taken into the desert and marched hard in this endless desert. According to the Crusades... this was to allow them to wash away their sins and obtain the salvation of the God of Light. .

In fact, Muklin Hafid can't take the slightest interest in such a statement. If Muklin Hafid has a choice, he will choose to leave without hesitation.

The temperature in the desert is volatile.

It was extremely hot during the day, and the sand that had been roasted by the hot sun for a long time was scary, but the night was extremely cold, and the howling cold wind was enough to make these thinly-clothed civilians pass out.

With this huge difference in temperature between day and night, the elderly villagers have long been unable to withstand such torture, and the young villagers are already exhausted.

But…

These Holy Orders, who kept talking about the God of Light and how benevolent, never cared about the feelings of civilians, including Muklin Hafid, and whipped and cursed them at every turn, or even used their weapons.

Muklin Hafid saw his friends fall one after another, but as an ordinary person with shackled hands and feet, Muklin Hafid had long lost the ability to resist.

He could only follow the steps of the Holy Cadet Army in unison, relying on his instinct to survive, hoping that the God of Light, praised by the Cadet Army, can quickly end its so-called "swimming"...
