Cecil led the military zone and the Military Intelligence Bureau command, Lemont's body was soon sent to Gao Wen.

The regional bishop of the southern diocese was strangely dead. He had almost no trauma except for some of the scratches and dirt left when he ran away. What caused his death was a certain "high fever" produced from his head. The eye sockets of the regional bishop had been burned into two dark holes, and the dry and scorched eye skin was pressed against the eye socket of his skull in a disgusting state, and his brain... seemed to have been burned to ashes.

"We found him in a mountain road in the dark mountains," Saldrin reported what he knew. "When he found it, he was dead, there were no traces of fighting, and no residual magic fluctuations. The cause of death is as you can see, and my brain burned to ashes... But I have never seen any curse or magic effect like this."

Gao Wen squatted down and carefully checked the situation of the Holy Light Bishop. When he reached into Lemont's eye socket, Amber next to him couldn't help but make a nauseous sound: "Ha...you're so disgusting..."

Gao Wen ignored the amber, but instead drenched some ashes and rubbed them gently on his fingertips for a few times. A slight golden light flashed among the ashes.

"It is the remnant echo of the holy light that comes from the brain... This bishop was burned to death by his own holy light," Gao Wen frowned, "But why?"

Amber began to analyze on Hu** with a serious look: "Is it because he ran away on the battlefield and violated the Holy Light Church's unknown doctrine, and then he could not stand the condemnation in his heart after running into the mountains. M Death died of a conscience explosion?"

Gao Wen looked up at Amber and glanced at him: "Do you believe this?"

Hedy ignored Amber's Hu*'s analysis and stood beside Gao Wen and asked with a serious expression: "Ancestor, can you see anything?"

"I can't see that except for the cause of death caused by the Holy Light Backlash, he left no trace on his body... but he didn't have any ideas at all," Gao Wen clapped his hands and stood up. "The Holy Light Backlash burned the brain, which proves that the initial out of control started with the brain, which reminded me of a group of people..."

Hetty looked at Gao Wen's expression and suddenly reacted: "Eternal Sleeper?"

"It seems that the cultists did not stop. They were always active in the realm we didn't know," Gao Wen said in an unsurprising tone. Since there was already a shadow of the demise of everything behind the Ansu Civil War, it is not unimaginable that the Eternal Sleepers appeared on the battlefield in the southern border. Although he was curious about why the Eternal Sleepers wanted to "help" the Cecils kill an invader, this did not affect his continued doing his own thing. "Send this corpse and other corpses to the incinerator and burn it completely."

Two soldiers came in and carried Lemont's body away. Amber, who was standing beside him, sighed at the Bishop of the Holy Light who was being carried away: "A regional bishop... is dead like this... By the way, you are completely in opposition to the Church of the Holy Light."

"Their regional bishop led twelve knights to Cecil to 'negotiate' with me and asked me to hand over the civilians in the city. From that moment on, they would declare war," said Gao Wen indifferently. "And even if they did not have this happen today, I will sooner or later be against them. You should know the law enforced by Cecil. The Holy Light Sect, which is increasingly taking the extreme expansion route, cannot accept the rules of the "laws of the Government Affairs Department are higher than the church."

Hetty recalled the war report sent by Carmier before, and suddenly showed a thoughtful look: "Speaking of this... the bishop and the Knights led by him probably didn't plan to fight us to the death. The bishop used the statement to negotiate with the lord and asked us to hand over the protected "heretic". I suspect that their initial purpose was to lead you out of the ancestors, and then temporarily delay you. When the time comes, they should find a reason to retreat. As long as they follow the rules of the friction between the church and the nobles, they will use gold, silver and some land to make compensation. And I guess, according to the initial plan of Earl Hosman and the Church of Holy Light at the beginning, Cecil will be the absolute defeat of this war, and the Church of Holy Light is probably still waiting for our compensation."

Before, Hetty was busy dealing with the information from all parties, and his mind was not focused on it. At this time, everything was temporarily settled down. She suddenly realized the real purpose of the "Biography of the Southern Diocese" leading twelve Holy See knights to Cecil to lead "negotiation". Gao Wen's reply made her expression subtle: "This is obvious that they are only here to hold me back. Could it be that they are planning to capture this city?"

Hetty didn't know what expression to do: "As a result, they all died here...even the bishop didn't survive."

"Do you remember what I said at the beginning?" Gao Wen glanced at Hetty and said Youyou, "They can start this war, but it's not their final word for how big it will be after the war begins."

Hetty thought about Gao Wen's words, and Gao Wen gave her a new order: "Inform Godwin, the additional issue was that the Church of the Holy Light and Earl Hosman colluded with the Earl of Hosman... No, some priests colluded with the Earl of Hosman and plotted to attack the city of Cecil, but because they were overestimated and too weak, they were wiped out after fighting with a technician on our side."

Hetty blinked: “…Is that really written?”

Gao Wen nodded: "Just write it like this, and then publish it in the entire territory not only in the territory, but also the army must be taken away and sent to the entire southern territory, so that all literate people in the southern territory have the opportunity to see it. Also, remember, it must be emphasized that it is 'partially corrupt and corrupt priests colluded with Earl Hosman'."

Gowen originally wanted to declare that the entire Church of Light was colluding with Earl of Hosman and being enemies with Cecil, but he knew that he could not regard the entire Church of Light as an enemy, at least not now.

The priest class of the Holy Light Church may be corrupting and falling, but the believers of this sect are composed of a large number of people, including Cecil's leader, about one-quarter of the people are Holy Light believers. Although these ordinary believers may not have such extreme beliefs and support for the Holy Light Church, if he suddenly declares that the Holy Light Church is an enemy, it will still inevitably lead to chaos. Therefore, he would better distinguish the fallen priest from ordinary believers at the beginning of public opinion propaganda.

And there is another point that the religions in this world are not only a spiritual sustenance, but their "divine power" and the gods themselves are real, and even these two are part of productivity and nature. Unless the Holy Light Church completely distorted and fell like the three dark sects and lost its foundation in normal social order, it would not be possible for it to regard the "faith of Holy Light" as the target of elimination. All he can eliminate is those priests.

And it must be a corrupt priest. After all, it is impossible for the entire Holy Light Church to have only one Wright? Aviken?

Amber just said that he was completely in opposition to the Church of Holy Light. This sentence may be true, but Gao Wen has his own understanding and arrangements for this sentence.

Hetty took the order and left, and only Amber and Gao Wen were left in the room for a while. Amber thought about that person for a long time, and suddenly remembered a detail from the task assigned by Gao Wen to Hetty: "Ah! You just said that you wanted the army to send things to the entire southern border... Is the war not over yet?"

Gao Wen glanced at Amber: "When did I say the war is over?"

"But we won on all battlefields," Amber scratched her hair, "Earl Hosman in the north died, his army was dispersed, and Earl Pebo in the west died. I heard that even fewer people escaped, and now even the bishop of the Church of Holy Light is dead... I heard that many prisoners were captured on the front lines in the north and west, many of which were nobles in the southern border. Normally, wouldn't this war be equivalent to the end of the battle? Then you should negotiate with the families of the noble captives, asking for money, food, and land..."

Amber looked at Gao Wen's smiley expression, his tone became lower and lower. Finally, he stopped slowly, and a terrifying expression appeared on his face: "Oh my god, you don't plan to stop at all, are you?"

"I have said long ago that this is a war to reunite the Southern border, and what I want is not the situation of integration that the nobles used to divide the feudal division and rely on fragile allegiance and vassal relations to maintain. So I did not intend to ask for any 'ransom' from the beginning, nor did I intend to negotiate," said Gao Wen with a serious expression. "The coalition of Count Hosman was indeed disbanded, but remember that they just dispersed, not disappeared, not surrendered, but ran away from the battlefield. They neither became the population of Cecil nor the nutrients of the southern border land. And the captured nobles... the families behind them, their castles, their estates, and their respective territories, and all this is still there. As long as the fugitive troops returned to these places, these places will still be the territory of the feudal division, not the land of Cecil."

Speaking of this, Gao Wen emphasized word by word: "There is only one Cecil leader in the southern border."

"You won't plan..." Amber looked Gao Wen in disbelief, "kill all the noble families in the southern border..."

"Of course I will not kill them all, at least I will not kill them directly, because then the social order will collapse, and whether I want to admit that the nobles and their vassals' are the main sources of intellectuals at present. I must use this group and their power," said Gowen. "But I still want to 'destroy' them, destroy their system and foundation... After that, everyone will be glorious and obedient Cecil citizens."

Speaking of this, he sighed slightly: "I really hope that every southern noble and their vassal can accept this arrangement, but if they cannot... I hope at least the incinerator will be sufficient."

A confused expression gradually appeared on Amber's face, but in the end he was shocked.

Seeing this, Gao Wen couldn't help laughing: "Can I understand what I said?"

"I won't listen!" Amber reached out and covered his ears, "What you said is either difficult or scared people to death!"

Gao Wen smiled and reached out and pressed Amber's hair. The short winter melon was so good that he put his hands on it just right.

Then he turned around and looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking outside the window.
