C136 People from the Church

Instead of leaving a threat behind, it's better to get rid of the root of the problem. Speed was important in war, so they had to cut down everything in their path quickly!

After this matter. Lee Xiang had once asked Bill why he had chosen to do this. This was Bill's answer.

What if Smith continued to cause trouble for him? Lee Xiang asked again.

Bill's answer made Lee Xiang clap his hands on the table.

If you are afraid of trouble, you have two choices. You can either hand over your humble position to Smith or hand over the command of the two divisions.

It was because of Bill's answer that Lee Xiang made up his mind to make these two divisions that he relied on to build up in the future. They were completely under Bill's control. Because Bill's words pointed out a problem. If Lee Xiang was not interested, Therefore, he might as well just hand him over to Smith.

In the future, after Bill led these two divisions, they did not let down his hopes and became the sharp swords in Lee Xiang's hands.

In the future, there was a vivid metaphor for this.

Wherever Lee Xiang pointed his sword at, Bill's army would attack without hesitation! At that time, many people did not understand. How could Lee Xiang, a mere person, have such great charisma? He could make thousands of people sacrifice their lives for him before he could even stand in jail.

The answer was that after many years, the person who had studied Lee Xiang's life pointed out the crux of the problem.

It was simple because he abandoned the traditional way of leading troops on this continent, which was to say, the way the supreme commander commanded the overall situation, and instead adopted a very special way to replace it. That was to set up civil officials in the army.

Because when Lee Xiang took over the highest commander of these two divisions, he had an additional official position that seemed to be useless in a team of more than a hundred people. Lee Xiang called this official a priest. The rank was the same as the highest commander of the unit he was in.

And the worst kind of official position could interfere with the military officers who were at the same level as him. It could even criticize some of the things that were wrong with them. Of course, in order to prevent two leaders from appearing in one army, Lee Xiang only gave these civil officers specific responsibilities of thinking. When it came to war, the military officers were the main ones.

In the future, those people who had been researching Lee Xiang's life directly pointed out the purpose of Lee Xiang doing this, and that was brainwashing! Political brainwashing!

It was precisely because he had successfully brainwashed his army that the exciting events that happened during the meeting had happened.

However, at that time, many people did not understand why Lee Xiang had used the clergy of the Church who had a good relationship with him at that time as a priest of the army, but why had these priests been used by him instead and betrayed the Church?

No one had been able to find a real result in this matter. The people involved in this matter, the church, kept silent about it. From the looks of it, they seemed to have suffered a great loss.

It was worth mentioning that the so-called military officer of the empire who had made Bill find an excuse to make trouble in the Lower Race division, the guest that Mander had mentioned, was actually the military officer of the empire, Kyle, who had once teased Yun Chang. Smith had asked him to station here as a guide in name, but in fact, it was better to avoid him temporarily.

Lee Xiang was very polite to him. After all, he still had to meet Smith, so he respectfully left him in the division and even told Bill to treat him with respect. Of course, the so-called treating him with respect was actually because he wanted to spy on him in a disguised way. Because this person had something to do with his following matters.

It was the first day of the year 1017 in Reiss Empire.

This day was the grandest festival in most of the countries in the continent.

It was the first day of the New Year and also the most sacred day of God's Grace.

On the day of the God's Grace Day before, the celebration ceremony in Silo Province was much inferior to the other provinces in the empire. That was because there were very few believers here.

However, it was different this year. This year, in Silo Province, not only was the scale of the celebration massive, it even exceeded the scale of the imperial capital.

If not for the participation of Wales III in the capital, this year's Silo Province would definitely be the one with the most momentum in history.

This showed that the Church indeed attached great importance to this.

First of all, Lee Xiang knew that Holy Maiden, who represented the Pope, was here in person. Secondly, according to Arthur's secret, it seemed that there was an important figure in the Church whose status was second only to the Pope's would come to support them.

A figure whose status was second only to the Pope's. Lee Xiang could almost guess the identity of this person's position in the Holy Church.

On this day, Lee Xiang had long avoided Ronton. Borrowing the intimate relationship between him and Shaun, the two of them arrived at the church early in the morning. Their goal was obviously to avoid Smith. Because at that time, Lee Xiang took over two divisions in the suburbs at lightning speed. The first thing he did after returning to Duke's Mansion was to ask Ronton to resign as the highest commander of the Lower Race. The excuse was naturally Bill's groundless accusations. He also strongly encouraged Ronton to arrange for someone to investigate, to prove that his actions were not wrong.

Of course, Ronton would not do it in front of his face. Instead, he called Smith over and fiercely reprimanded him. And he didn't show any mercy at all. He didn't even give him a chance to refute.

To be honest, Lee Xiang didn't know whether his plan of retreating in order to advance could be hidden from the cunning Ronton. However, he was sure that Ronton would not take him down directly, because Ronton had promised him that he would be the highest commander of the Lower Race Division. He only agreed after careful consideration, which meant that there was profit to be gained from it.

Because Smith was not a fool, he was naturally able to guess some of the secrets within. However, he had been bitten by Lee Xiang in advance. Therefore, he was definitely going to take this lying down. However, Lee Xiang also knew that the hatred between him and this uncle had deepened.

But he had no choice. It was just that after the short honeymoon, there might be an endless confrontation. In theory, he was absolutely weak now.

At the very least, it seemed so on the surface.

Walking on the street, Lee Xiang and Shaun walked side by side. Because Ao Guang and Shaun had already given them to Bill, he could be said to be a loner now. To be honest, Lee Xiang did not need them now, because they would not be of any help to him whether it was magic or combat power. Instead, they would give him more chances, so he decided to explore by himself.

On the way to the church. Along the way, Lee Xiang could feel the liveliness of the festival at any time. Most of the people on the road were also talking about this matter. It could be seen that the church had indeed spent a lot of effort this time. The other thing was that Lee Xiang had recently become the highest commander of the Lower Race Division. This matter was clearly more familiar to the Lower Race. And when they talked about it, it was as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Shaun listened to these discussions with interest. Finally, he looked at Lee Xiang and said meaningfully, "Yesterday's matter. . . What a surprise!" Lee Xiang did not tell Shaun about what had happened yesterday, since it had happened so suddenly. The key was that it was inconvenient for Shaun to ask Lee Xiang about it at that time, so Shaun hurriedly asked Lee Xiang to go with him early in the morning. Of course, this was also what Li wanted.

"Not really. Actually, I didn't think of this before. But one of my men caught up by accident. So. . . " Lee Xiang shrugged his shoulders. Recently, the relationship between the two of them had increased rapidly. Therefore, there was no need to hide many topics between the two of them. Especially the topics that both parties were interested in.

"That's why you can borrow strength to fight!" Shaun smiled and took over Lee Xiang's words. "But to be honest, your means are really brilliant. I have to admit, I seem to have underestimated you!"

Lee Xiang shook his head noncommittally. "No matter what, it is all thanks to His Highness's help. Otherwise, I am afraid I would not have had the chance to do so. "

Shaun laughed and waved his hand. "This matter. . . You and I know what to do. The one who really helped is Lindman. If he doesn't say anything, I won't be of much use. . . But Lindman is willing to help. Although this gave me some face, I know that the one who really helped is Mrs. Sophie. Shaun very naturally shifted the topic to Sophie. However, Lee Xiang knew that it seemed like it was not intentional. In fact, it was intentional. After thinking for a while, He smiled, "Your Highness, do you think I have a chance to take Sophie as my wife?"

Lee Xiang hesitated for a long time because he was considering whether he should tell him the truth or not. But in the end, he still decided to tell him the truth. He had his own considerations for doing this. Because no matter from which angle, Shaun was actually an ally of his. And with his current situation, no matter which aspect it was, he wouldn't allow any estrangement between him and Shaun. The biggest headache was that his intuition told him that Shaun seemed to have sensed something.

Therefore, in the end, Lee Xiang decided to tell him the truth. He wanted to create an open and honest environment to build a solid foundation for the cooperation between the two parties.

Sure enough, Shaun was not surprised by Lee Xiang's words at all. He even nodded approvingly. "As I expected. . . Do you want to know how I found out about this?"

Lee Xiang secretly praised the danger, but his face did not change as he replied. "Actually, I did not want to hide this from Your Highness. It is just that the time is not ripe yet, so. . . "

"Your concerns are very reasonable!" Shaun nodded. "I am almost sure that if you marry Sophie, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, especially your uncle Smith. I am afraid the misunderstanding between you will be even bigger!"

Lee Xiang smiled bitterly. To be honest, he had thought about this more than once, but he really did not have a better idea.

"In fact, there are many flaws in the matter between you and Sophie. A slightly more careful person will notice the problem. I think your uncle has already noticed it. Otherwise, he would not have firmly opposed the promotion of you as the highest commander last time!"

"So I did not plan to hide anything from Sophie on this matter? It is also considered to be putting one's life on the line to survive!" The more pressure Smith put on him, the more motivated he would be. He was the kind of person who would become braver and braver with each setback.

Shaun was silent for a moment. Of course, he understood Lee Xiang's current feelings. He thought for a while and smiled. "This is not a bad thing. At least I know. The benefits of marrying Sophie are also immeasurable. You also know that Sophie's grandfather used to be the general of the Empire's army. This kind of resource is not something that any random person can enjoy, so I fully support you on this matter. Furthermore, according to what I know, there is not only one person in the Imperial Capital who is thinking about her. Sophie's beauty is incomparable in the Empire and even in the entire continent. . . To be honest, I am a little jealous! Haha. . . "

Looking at Shaun's words, Lee Xiang smiled slightly and thought to himself, if you know that Sophie's benefits are not limited to this, I'm afraid you will not be just jealous.

"Of course, if you marry Sophie. First of all, your uncle, Smith, is one of them. Second, you have to pay more attention to another person. It was my brother. As far as I know, he still hasn't given up on Sophie! If he knew that you took the lead, I'm afraid that the problem would be very serious. . . " Shaun frowned slightly. Clearly, he was also quite worried, "Others might not know about my brother. However, I know very well that not only is his mind very heavy, Most importantly, our Royal Father especially doted on him. . . "

Lee Xiang cried out in pain. Perhaps this was the so-called saying that if there was a gain, there would be a loss. Although Sophie could bring him many direct benefits, the disadvantages were also inestimable.

He sighed slightly and continued, "When the time comes, we can only take it one step at a time! That's right. Your Highness, you know Do you know which heavyweight has arrived in the Church today?"

Shaun smiled. "We have arrived. . . Let's go, you will know once we enter. As far as I know, this heavyweight seems to be here mainly for you. He must be waiting for you now! "

Lee Xiang was slightly moved. Shaun smiled meaningfully. "I know you have always been curious about the relationship between me and the Church. Since you have told me about your relationship with Sophie today, it would be unfair if I continue to hide it. Let's go. We will talk as we walk. Otherwise, I am afraid someone will be anxious! "

Lee Xiang felt a little emotional in his heart. From Shaun's actions, it could be seen that. . . It was obvious that the people from the Church were serious this time. Otherwise, they would not be so anxious. As for the relationship between Shaun and the church. . . He could almost guess that it was just a relationship of mutual exploitation. As for who used who, Who would obtain greater benefits? Then it would depend on who had better means.

Thinking of the agreement between him and the Church, Lee Xiang secretly sighed. He was sure that today's meeting with this heavyweight person would definitely involve the main topic of cooperation. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind. Because the day he talked to Lyman, he already had a condition in his heart that they could not reject, and this was also something that they could not get after thinking for a long time.

If the Church had ill intentions towards him, then he would make them suffer a double loss and suffer a double loss!

To be honest, Lee Xiang really could not see what kind of person Shaun was. In short, he was definitely a fierce and ambitious person. Underestimating him was definitely equivalent to suicide.

Thinking of this, he became more vigilant. He did not want to be the chess piece of Shaun or the church after he asked Ronton to help him in the end.

He would never allow himself to become such a person!
