Chapter 364

I'm afraid there's nothing in the world like "time" that can't be retained.

Although every day is precious to the Roland people, even though Dewey has tried his best to use all means to prepare for all the "wars" that will be dealt with in the future.

When the Duchess got the medal, he was less than five minutes away from his life as a believer.

Just after Dewey officially declared his conversion to the light religion, Dewey publicly announced that the reason why he made such a choice was entirely due to the personal charm of cardinal maximus. He highly praised the personality charm of the cardinal and how kind an old man he was, and praised how devout he was to his faith, how much he taught himself, and finally moved himself. Convinced himself, into the arms of the goddess.

There is no doubt that this practice has made cardinal maximus famous.

Then Dewey made a high-profile announcement that his territory, the province of Desa, had officially become the new parish of the church and established a new parish. And by the Archbishop maximus close friend, former North Central diocese vice bishop ramus to serve as the Archbishop of the province of DESAR.

In addition, Dewey said that he would fully support the construction of the religious center in the diocese, and would like to be the holy knight order of the Diocese of DESAR province. To provide a good training ground, and he also generously donated 500 excellent horses.

On behalf of the church, Maximus announced a resolution. In order to express his sincere thanks to the Duke of tulip, the Church decided to exempt all religious taxes in the province of Desa within the next five years. At the same time, according to Dewey's great popularity in Desa Province, the Presbyterian Council of the church made a resolution that Dewey would be awarded the title of "honorary bishop" of Desa province.

The title of honorary bishop is more than a "reputation". Legally speaking. Because of his status as bishop of the church, Dewey will face any law of the Empire in the future. You can have immunity. Although Dewey doesn't care much about this "legal immunity", because he already has the status of a magician and belongs to the legal privilege class.

However, the title of honorary bishop has more functions than magician

First of all, any hostile act against an honorary bishop will be regarded as hostile to the church! That is to say, from the first minute Dewey got the title of honorary bishop, Dewey's enemy was the enemy of the church.

Second... Dewey was given the privilege to ask to see the pope at any time. And he also has a seat of his own in the Bishop's Council of the church. Of course, he just sits in, and he has no right to vote.

The third point is what Dewey wants most. In order to show respect for the honorary bishop, the church made a resolution that Dewey could draw out a cavalry of 500 men under his own command, and the church would grant this cavalry the status of "holy knight order"! Moreover, this cavalry was not at the command of the parish, but only at the command of the honorary bishop. Of course, the premise is that this cavalry must ensure that each of them is a believer of the goddess.

Moreover, according to some legal loopholes, a formal knight can have up to four squires, and these squires are not included in the establishment. Therefore, Dewey can expand the number of his "holy knight order" to 2500! Five hundred of them are official knights, and two thousand of them exist in the name of "squires", all of which are legal.

"To kill a holy knight will be regarded as a complete declaration of war on the temple of light."

According to the law of this canon, Dewey has his own "holy knight order" team, which will be an effective weapon in the future northwest war when facing the northwest army.

No matter how arrogant the northwest army is, it is not easy to declare war on the temple of light on the mainland. What's more, many soldiers in the northwest Legion are church believers themselves. It's hard to imagine how much morale these soldiers have left when they face the Holy Knights.

After receiving these preferential conditions, Dewey paid the price: he signed an agreement in private, indicating that he was willing to make a commitment to the future successor of the Pope, cardinal Maximus, that he would become a close comrade in arms of cardinal Maximus, and give him strong support in the face of any difficulties.

It is worth mentioning that Dewey gave his own "holy order" to Hussein. Hussein is a true holy knight. He is familiar with the strict training methods of all Holy Knights, and knows how to lead such a knighthood.

Later, Dewey soon announced his decision. He built a military fortress in his own territory, that is, the east of Desa Province, at the border with nurin Province, as the residence of the Holy Knights of the parish. It was a complete military fortress, but there was an additional religious place in it for knights to pray.

Later, there were three military fortresses at the junction of the provinces of Desa and nurin.

The first is the new camp built by Dewey and birham, governor of nurin two years ago. After two years, two thirds of Dewey's troops have been stationed here.

The second, built last year, is used to house the tulip family's private army. Now, there is a third. As a result, in terms of layout, Dewey has piled up more than 70000 troops on the border between his territory and nurin province. In addition, governor Bohan's 30000 troops, a total of 100000 troops, surrounded the territory of the northwest army. To Du Wei's surprise, it seems that the northwest army has been very quiet all this year... What is lugao thinking? Du Wei is waiting. Now the situation has entered the most critical moment. He is waiting for a signal, a signal from the imperial capital. The arrival of that signal will announce the end of the peace period on the mainland!! Is the pace of war coming? No, it should be said: War is imminent!
