Chapter 1567 Should we gather strength and attack the magic council?
(Strong sea monster lord plus 9)
For a city of the size of Glorious Holy City, even if it is relocated, it will take time, planning, and strong personnel and material support.
The huge glorious holy city, even if it is not like Nevis, is a city with magicians on the top, various researchers in the middle, and merchants, producers and other civilians on the bottom, the scale is definitely not smaller than Nevis.
Pope, all high-level clergy below the Pope, subordinates, assistants, attendants, and students of high-level clergy.Various functional units, such as Paladins, Tribunals, Ascetic Orders, etc.;
Various research institutions, such as the research institute that caused the accident this time;
Various seminaries for training young priests, knight colleges for training paladins;
And a large number of pilgrims, pilgrims' entourage, various nobles who came to the Holy City to look for opportunities, noble entourages, servants who looked after houses for the big nobles who came to Hajj regularly, etc.;
Of course, there are furriers, shoemakers, tailors, jewelry merchants, cooks, butchers, wine merchants, milkmen, prostitutes who serve these masters...
Various, endless, as long as you can think of, there will definitely be occupations.Added together from top to bottom, the number of people fluctuates between 100 million and 120 million all year round——
Even without considering the people who died on the day of the explosion, and the people who died one after another after that, all their bodies were left in the holy city.There are still 90 million people who need to retreat and transfer.
90 million!
So many people, eating and drinking, lodging, and medical treatment.Where to arrange after withdrawing, what occupation to engage in, where does the capital for occupation come from, and even, how to bury him if he dies in the middle of the night...
Just thinking about these questions briefly made the Pope feel like he had a splitting headache, wishing that the triple crown would grow thorns, one by one, piercing directly into his brain.Not only that, there are still a lot of problems, which are constantly handed to him:
"Your Majesty! It is impossible to withdraw all within ten days! It is impossible!"
"How can it not be done?" The Pope frowned.Given the size of Nevis City, half a day would be enough to walk from the center to the outside of the city even on foot;
Even considering the carrying capacity of the street, it would be enough to arrange for civilians to start in stages and in batches, two days.
And the time he gave was ten days!ten days!
"There are goods to be transported! There are so many holy objects in the Glorious Cathedral, so they might not all be left here, so don't take them away!"
"That too..."
"We have to take things away, and others have to take things away too! Your Majesty, those guys, wish they could take the house with them on their backs!"
The pots and pans at home, the wine in the wine cellar, the bacon on the beams, the wheat and flour in the warehouse...
The rich have rich things to take with them, and it would not be a pity to overwhelm the livestock——
God knows that half of the horses, donkeys, and mules died one after another during the first wave of explosions, and after the explosions, and the remaining half were also sick...
Not to mention, there are still more than half of the civilians who will not shed tears when they see the coffin, crying and refusing to leave:
This is the place where my ancestors lived for generations, and this is where my family's grave is. The old man in the family is dying and can't walk, and I can't walk when I'm sick...
Pope: "..."
To be honest, he really wanted to send out the paladins, priests, and soldiers to forcibly drive these civilians away.However, the use of coercive means will definitely cause casualties, and the casualties are definitely not small;
At any rate, he was still his own subjects, and at any rate he was still his loyal believer. If possible, he didn't want to cause too much resentment and death.
These people have withdrawn, and they are still expected to testify that the Holy See did not commit a massacre in the holy city!
"...Use all the priests, move everything that can." He rubbed his forehead in annoyance:
"To call, to inspire, to organize. It's not like there is no spell to inspire believers in the divine spell, just use the divine spell and take them away——
Think about the deeds of the saints who left the sea and migrated with the people, let us repeat the miracle again! "
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The cardinals in red, the bishops, the paladins who rushed over, and the ascetics all bowed their heads in salute. [Unsullied Walker] Sijifrey was the first to stand up:
"I'll take people down! I'll take all the ascetic monks down, and give me some monks. It's time to shepherd the sheep for the Lord!"
He strode out of the chamber with his head held high.Soon, outside the meeting hall, the voice of the elder resounded loudly:
"In the daytime, the Lord led their way in the pillar of cloud, and in the night, he illuminated them in the pillar of fire, so that they could walk day and night. The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night never left the people's presence..."
The footsteps changed from chaotic to orderly, batch after batch, quickly followed.Immediately afterwards, [Pale Sword], [Hand of Compassion], those noble and noble legends who came back for disaster, went out one after another:
"I'm in charge of South City..."
"I am a knight. I have the strongest physique. I am in charge of the North City! All the knights are under my command. Give me another thousand soldiers, and I will bring out as many people as possible!"
"Those who trust in riches stumble, but those who are righteous thrive...Drop your treasures! Lay them all! Follow me!"
"The Lord will give you meat to eat in the evening, and food to feed you in the morning. Because He has heard all your complaints against the Lord... What the Lord promised you in the past will be fulfilled by the Lord's servants!"
"Strike the rock, and water will flow out of the rock, so that the people can drink... Take only the most basic supplies! Servant of the Lord, I will save you from hunger, thirst and cold!"
Paragraph after paragraph, scriptures recited aloud.Sentence after sentence, commands full of confidence and strength.It reverberated in the glorious holy city, and reverberated among the civilians in the city.
The ascetics held up their sticks, the paladins held up their spears, and the nuns held up their turbans.On the head of the staff, on the tip of the spear, and on the turban, there is a clean light, so that everyone can see it.
Accompanied by the brilliance and the sound of chanting sutras, the people quietly put down their belongings, walked out of their houses and various ruins, and lined up in front of the brilliance.
They looked up at the light on the head of the staff, the tip of the spear, and the turban, and they walked with the old and the young.
Seen from a high altitude, the flow of people lined up in a long queue, winding like a black snake.He didn't make a sound when he fell down, he didn't speak when he was bleeding, he got up expressionlessly, joined the team, and moved on...
The clergy, especially the high-ranking clergy at the legendary level and close to the legendary level, went down in person, using spells regardless of the cost, and the effect was outstanding.
At least, those who refused to leave, those who refused to put down their belongings, and those who were suffering from illness, all followed obediently under the power of divine magic;
No crowding, no stamping, no pushing.No clamoring to go back, no clamoring "my money..." "my cow..." "my wine..."
Of course, the teams led by low-level clergymen and ordinary soldiers did not have such a good order.However, high-ranking clergymen come and go around from time to time to make up a spell, which is enough to keep the team moving forward quietly——
A legendary priest is enough to continuously cast a large-scale spell similar to the "mass command" for 1 people within one hour.Only leading a few hundred people at a time, for them, the power is completely overflowing...
With these legends taking the lead, the speed of retreat immediately became much faster.
To evacuate millions of people from the Holy City of Glory to a place thirty miles away from the edge of the city, the Pope originally gave him ten days. As a result, within three days, people who could move on their own and people with vehicles All the people who could load were withdrawn.
As for those who are too sick to move, although it is cruel, it may not be a good thing for them to try to evacuate them...
It has to be said that the extremely high density of priests in Glorious Holy City really helped a lot at this time.
There are legends and high-level clergymen to help evacuate people, a large number of low-level monks who have read books, can write and calculate, help to set up the camp and arrange Lazar for the refugees, and middle-level clergymen help provide logistics——
No food?
no water?
Communion, come on!
How can a level 5 priest cast a communion spell once and feed hundreds of people? And a level 5 priest can cast communion spells more than once or twice a day?
The water making technique is even a low-level divine technique among low-level divine techniques, but any priest can rub it with his hands.Of course, the efficiency may not be as high as the priest of the Spring Temple, but it doesn't mean that you can't rub...
"Thank you for your hard work." Three days later, the Pope was exhausted and hosted a banquet for the legends in the tent by the lake.The so-called banquet is a piece of unleavened bread, a pinch of salt, and a glass of water for each person——
The people are all suffering, and these high-ranking priests, even if they pretend, have to pretend to share weal and woe with the Lamb of the Lord.
Especially in this great retreat, several legends who made great efforts are all famous for their noble morals.They were all exhausted, and they continued day and night to guide the people on foot. Everyone was so tired that they lost weight, and their cheeks were deeply sunken.
Even if the Pope wanted to say "I stand with you and I am worthy to be in charge of the Holy See", he went to the front line with these legends to inspire and appease the people, so that he could not live too extravagantly .
"So far, the suffering people have basically withdrawn from the Holy City, and our first crisis has been successfully passed." After eating a piece of unleavened bread and drinking half a glass of water, the Pope raised his wooden cup and looked around. The legends paid tribute:
"But next, the Holy See is still facing a deep crisis and a lot of challenges. Now, we need to face the second problem:
How to maintain the orthodoxy of the Holy See?In other words, how to maintain the majesty of the Holy See before the lambs of the Lord? "
Several legendary clerics who rushed back from other places were sullen and silent.One is tired, and the other is that I really have no face to help find ways to lie.Instead, the chief referee looked at this, looked at that, and recited a scripture softly:
"I will harden the heart of the enemy, says the Lord, and he will pursue my Lamb, and I will be glorified on the enemy and on all his army, and my enemy will know that I am the only Lord."
Seven or eight pairs of eyes moved over.The chief referee lowered his head slightly, his voice was calm and gentle:
"With a hungry wolf watching out, the Lord's lamb will naturally gather around the shepherd. ——As long as such a hungry wolf is found, the Lord's lamb will naturally not show its hooves and horns to the shepherd."
"So, what do you mean, we want to find an enemy to attack? ——Is the enemy you choose the Magic Council?"
-
Today can be regarded as "Leaving Egypt" to gather wool...
I checked "Exodus" today and I was dumbfounded...
While leading the Jews away, "the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he chased the Israelites, because the Israelites came out of Egypt boldly." Then he killed the Egyptian Pharaoh. "I will be honored with Pharaoh and all his army, with his chariots and horsemen. The Israelites feared the LORD and believed in him and his servant Moses when they saw what the LORD had done to the Egyptians."
This... Fishing law enforcement is not so ruthless!
