Chapter 306 Are You Kidding Me...

The sun rises as usual, and the cold wind is still biting. Everything seems very ordinary, but I have to say that this year's Bran Empire is definitely eventful!

Barbaric tribes invaded the border, gray-clothed troops suddenly emerged, and the statue of the saint in Shanxi City was destroyed...

Of course, there are many disturbing things in this, but compared to the above three things, they are undoubtedly not worth mentioning.

First, the barbarian tribe invaded the border. It goes without saying that although Savage is like this almost every year, the difference is only a matter of size. But as long as it involves a war between two countries on the Western Ze continent, it will not be a trivial matter.

Secondly, the Gray Army suddenly emerged. Generally speaking, this is a civil war issue in the Bran Empire. Coupled with the Gray Army's recent strong propaganda, city construction, and a series of major actions such as repelling Bran's regular army, it has naturally attracted much attention.

Finally, the statue of the saint in Shanxi City was destroyed. This involves religious belief and the behemoth that is the Temple of Light, so it is not a small matter. Even to a certain extent, this has a wider influence among the people than the previous two. After all, the barbarian tribes invaded the frontier, and the greatest impact was only on the frontline cities. The same is true for the Gray Army. Their greatest influence now is only in Shiwanda Mountain and surrounding cities.

Only the destruction of the statue of the saint shocked almost the entire civilian population of Bran. This is not an exaggeration, it is just the way it is. The Temple of Light builds churches everywhere and sows the seeds of faith, resulting in more than tens of millions of believers? Now that the most important iconic statue of the first-generation saint has been destroyed, how can this not make people angry?

For a behemoth of this level, every time it gets angry it's enough to make the ground shake three times. As a result, the bishop of the Shanxi City Church was replaced, the cavalry involved was hanged, and the cavalry commander ended up being a miner for the rest of his life... Immediately, the Temple of Light immediately dispatched an investigation team headed by the great magician.

All this shows the anger and power of the Temple of Light! At this time, people thought that the matter would be resolved and settled soon. But soon, an even more shocking news came. The tracking team headed by the great magician failed unexpectedly, with most of the casualties.

Naturally, the Temple of Light does not intend to announce such a shameful thing. But this happened in the mountains not far outside Fenghuo City, and the noise of the fighting between the two sides was too great to cover up even if they wanted to. Coupled with the fact that Josiah's secret agency also acted as a communicator, the matter was finally inevitably exposed. In the end, the Temple of Light had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill and immediately announced that another group of stronger teams had set off from the headquarters.

Knowing the opponent's strength well, the team sent by the Temple of Light this time will naturally be no problem. It can be said that if they can catch them, Samp and the others will definitely die.

But before this powerful team set foot on the northern land, a piece of news had spread like the plague. The two guys who had the audacity to offend the majesty of the Temple of Light were actually destroyed. And it is said that the person who did this was actually the police department of a medium-sized city.

Are you kidding me, are you kidding me... This was everyone's immediate reaction after hearing the news.

Originally, although those two guys deserved to die, they were cursed by thousands of believers day and night. But no one will deny their strength. After all, their record is there. First, they arrogantly caused trouble in Beacon City, and no one could stop them. Then he crippled the team headed by the great magician and walked away... Such a tough and ruthless character actually died in the hands of a city's police department? It feels like a tiger dragging a wolf carcass back from victory, only to be killed by a passing sheep... It's so inconsistent and ridiculous.

Because this news has not been confirmed by authorities, there are different opinions for a while.

Some people say that the Liva City Police Department is stupid and bold. They must have taken a fancy to the dual awards from the Bran Empire and the Temple of Light, and killed two people casually in order to collect the awards. Some people say that this is definitely true, because the director of the police department is the famous Powis... Of course, not many people believe the latter statement. Who is Powis? Still famous? Why haven't I heard of it...

This world is so small, so small that one day when I go shopping with my wife, I might run into an old lover I haven’t seen for many years. The world is so big that any hero living in a corner may still not be famous.

Bowes naturally has a good reputation, and he is quite famous in some cities in the south. In Laiyan City, not to mention, he is an absolute man of the hour. Last year's plan to kill hundreds of assassins was his masterpiece, which caused a sensation in Bran. But it has to be said that people are forgetful, especially things that have nothing to do with themselves. Furthermore, this is the north, and Bovis has only been in Liva City for a short period of time. Only this city and several surrounding cities can survive. They know that this ruthless guy is squatting and cannot be offended. People in other places have never heard of it, so naturally they cannot believe it.

But just as they were quarreling over this matter, announcements from the Bran Empire and the Temple of Light were issued. It was confirmed that the two blasphemers had indeed been put to death, and that the people who did it were the Liva City Police Department and the city’s church clergy. What followed would be eye-catching awards...

As soon as the announcement came out, the believers immediately clapped and celebrated. Celebrating that the blasphemer finally received the punishment he deserved and could not escape the sanction of the God of Light.

Relative to the simple believers, the tone of the original argument against Powis gained momentum again. Those who believe it are naturally happy. Not only have they been cleared of the slander they have suffered, but they can also confidently fight back against those who previously questioned it. However, those who questioned also had something to say. Didn't they see that there were clergy involved in this matter? They might be the main force in killing the enemy.

Everyone held their own opinions and discussed a lot...but no matter how they argued, in the end they still had no basis for what they said. After all, the center of this incident is still the city of Riva.

…

In Riva City, the ordinary residents were naturally happy. After all, there are heroes in this city, and they are equally honored. Some people who were in Nancheng District at that time even grabbed an outsider and talked about the grand occasion at that time. Of course, there was an element of exaggeration in the words. With the accumulation of various versions, in the end it was almost like a battle of the gods. scale. But as long as the speaker is happy and the listener is happy, that's enough...

As for the nobles of Liva City, their thoughts are a bit complicated. After first learning that the loud noise in the city was coming from Thor's hammer at the top of the city, they were both panicked and happy. Needless to say, panic happens to anyone whose life is at stake. I am happy because I finally found a reason to drive away the lunatic Bowes in an honest and fair manner. But when they later learned about the target, they were a little dumbfounded. How could they move Powers with such great momentum? Even after the incident, the big nobles in the city had to show excitement and take the initiative to visit the security hall to express their support and admiration...

To be honest, these two blasphemers have something to do with the nobles of Liva City. But the reality is like this. They can only knock out their teeth and swallow the blood in their stomachs, and they have to look happy on their faces... isn't this a lie? But soon they were happy again, because Powers had to leave this time...

At the door of the church in the city, under the personal farewell of the bishop in white robes with red trim, Powers and Bernie walked out of the church with flattered smiles on their faces.

Immediately after turning a street, the smiles on their faces disappeared. Powers rubbed the muscles on his face: "Damn it, how can this old guy come up with so much nonsense? I almost get cramps from laughing!"

"Haha, everyone will be hit on the head by a big credit for no reason. Well, at least he was kind and healed our injuries." Bernie on the side was calm and said with a chuckle, but there was a hint of lightness in his tone. The irony is also obvious.

"Well, the effect is indeed good." Powers stretched his muscles and then nodded, "Then I decided happily, go back and carry all the injured brothers over, and see if I don't exhaust this old guy to death!"

As participants, they naturally knew what happened in Nancheng District a few days ago. There was no such thing as the clergy from the city's churches coming to help, as the official announcement said. But now that it is said that there is, it is an ironclad conclusion. The Temple of Light wants to lose face, and the Bran Empire cooperates, but they can only rub their noses and comply. If they say they are unhappy, then they are certainly unhappy, but what they can do now is to make the other party feel sick without any pain or itching like Powers...

Bernie laughed twice when he heard this, then seemed to remember something, turned around and smiled: "By the way, Lord Baron Powers, how are you thinking about the transfer? We have to leave this time."

"What a fool! What a baron!" Powis curled his lips disdainfully, and then said, "I will not go to the capital, even if I am offered a higher position. I might bump into a guy while riding a horse there. It’s just that damn grand duke and young master, how can he feel free outside. Well, I’ve thought about it. This time we go to Shanxi City, which is a large city and meets the requirements for awards. Besides, the unlucky director and chief of cavalry there are both in jail. , the vacancy has not been filled yet, we can just go there."

After all, they had done such a sensational thing, so the Bran Empire naturally rewarded Powers and the others. In addition to both being made barons, they were also transferred to the capital, and their positions were very high. Powers was appointed Deputy Director of Security, and Bernie was appointed Deputy Chief of Security Dragoons.

It can be said that such a commendation is already very high. Everyone knows that the Bran Empire has been controlling the number of nobles in recent years. But now they are generously releasing two barons, and they are people like Powers who have no foundation. I have to say that this is definitely an extremely rare scene in recent years. Furthermore, the job offered by being transferred to Brandu City is not low. As long as Bovis and the others can spend their term smoothly, it will be easy to obtain the title of viscount in the end.

Of course, there is a reason for such a high commendation. The most important point is that they keep their mouths shut. You shouldn't say it but it will always be rotten in your stomach, such as the part about the church clergy. Therefore, naturally they cannot be allowed to stay in Liva City any longer.

"Then it's settled." Bernie had no objection to Powers' idea and waved his hand nonchalantly. Then he paused and said with some emotion, "There are those who have not done anything, and the credit falls from the sky. There are also those who risk their lives, but now they don't know whether they will live or die... For the same thing, the gap is really big! "

"Probably not dead." Of course, Powers knew who Bernie was talking about, and rubbed his red nose and said, "A few days ago, we asked someone to give us a message, saying that the great magician had been killed. Tsk tsk, the reason has been thought of for us, saying that he committed suicide with that eternal banishment."

Bernie raised his eyebrows: "You just believe him that much?"

"Are you talking about me? Aren't you the same... Well, this mole, this kid, is really interesting. I have a feeling that we will meet him again."

"Oh? What will you do then?"

"I'll buy him a drink...and then do my best to get him to the gallows!"

"Ha ha……"
