I'm such an old god, so sorry

The Grand Duke of the Sword Tomb finally showed a trace of surprise, and he bowed to the empire's strong man:

"I didn't expect my words and deeds to shock you."

Even in the face of the strongest sword orchid knight in modern times, the Grand Duke of the Sword Tomb still maintained a posture of neither humble nor arrogant, but boldly taught the other party:

"Master Intardi, you are a professional near-god. You should know best how powerful the deity is and how great the nature of the deity is. Stupid mortals can’t manage themselves well, and they always think that they are converted to gods. It’s the home of mortals, isn’t it?"

"The power of the deity is indeed great, and the nature of the deity is indeed beautiful, but so what?"

Intardi nodded and agreed with some of the words of the Grand Duke of the Sword Tomb, and at the same time retorted:

"In the final analysis, gods are nothing more than high-dimensional asylum seekers invited by mankind after paying for their faith. They feed on the beliefs of mortals, and mortals develop under their protection. This is an equivalent exchange. But blindly. Isn’t relying on foreign objects the same as a pet in a fence?"

"But it's even more dangerous for pets that are not restrained if they are out of the fence."

"So, humans are not pets."

Intardi said lightly.

"We can manage ourselves well, and we can climb up with our own efforts. In the era when the gods were not visible, the ancestors of gladioli used swords and flowers to prove this."

The Lord Sword Tomb's eyes drooped slightly: "Is this the pride of sword orchid?"

"No, this is human pride."

Intardi said calmly: "Go, don't let the festive feast produce unpleasantness."

The Grand Duke of the Sword Tomb pursed his lips, bowed slightly to Intaldi, and then quickly left the hall.

No wonder he was so decisive. In front of the emperor and many gladiolus nobles, the Grand Duke of the Sword Tomb could spread his faith casually, but in the face of Intardi, the lion of the gladiolus did not dare to disobey the other party. .

Just kidding, don’t look at Intardi’s plain appearance. Before he retired more than ten years ago, he was the first hero of the empire. The blood-red double-blade crushed several half planes and expanded the empire’s colony. The ruthless person of the times, even among the top-ranked near-god powerhouses that the mainland said, Intardi was also the top batch.

Touch the realm of God with the body of a mortal.Although the gap between the near-god rank and the true god is incredibly large, as far as argumentation is concerned, the incarnation of the saint with the strongest power that the gods of order can put in the mortal world is only near-god.

The patron saint of the empire doesn't engage in those silly heads. If he continues to rely on it, Intardi will really kill him for disrupting order.

"Well, everyone, let's continue the banquet!"

The sword orchid emperor clapped his hands, let the nobles return to their original positions, and walked towards Intaldi.

"The annoying garbage is finally gone."

William sighed and greeted Intaldi:

"If you don't come, I might really be tempted to declare war on the Grand Duke's side."

Intardi and William walked aside, the former lowered his head and whispered:

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you really need to do this."

Before William could express his doubts, Intardi continued:

"The Alliance of the Patriarchate has clearly stood on the side of the Grand Duke, and the outbreak of the civil war is just a few weeks away."

William frowned upon hearing this and asked softly.

"...Has it been determined?"

Apart from being the patron saint of the empire's near-god rank, Intardi is currently in charge of an intelligence agency affiliated with the imperial family. Almost all the classified information that the Gladiolus Empire can know comes from this intelligence organization.

"The peace policy of the religious state was broken five or six years ago. In recent years, the religious state has intervened in wars everywhere. It is well known that several major religious states have expanded their armaments and recruited new recruits. Guide all countries."

"Shouldn't it be the blue blood?"

William asked curiously. After all, in the eyes of the world, the blue-blooded people are ancient relics and international terrorists, while the Crusaders are the current hegemon and the world police. The love and killing between the two is nothing to do with others.

If some place suffers, he can only ask for his own blessings, and he is lucky.

The nations of Ainfar have forgotten how the Holy Religious Army of the Gods of Order swept the mainland back then.

"No, you don't understand, Your Majesty."

Intardi shook his head and said:

"When it comes to the level of gods, many things are not so simple. What the gods of order need is a new batch of sources of faith to strengthen their power. It is not enough for the people of the country to provide them. They think What is necessary is to include the Gladiolus Land and even the Federation part into the territory, not hesitate to violate its own doctrine, use the power of the gods to connect the fate of mortals with them, so as to obtain greater possibilities in the battle of gods. "

"Is the Lord of the Blue really so strong? The gods of order have to be so cherished by the existence of wings and have to desperate to have a chance of winning?"

William was slightly surprised. His doubts are those of most normal mortals. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to figure out how big the gap between the God of Order and the Lord of Blue is. They can then come from the power of the Holy Land Alliance. Intuitively feel the mighty power of the gods of order, but the Lord of Youlan?

Although the blue-blooded people shout every day with a series of unknown titles, but these years, any pseudo-god's name is similar to this, there is no real feeling, brother, where is your blue lord?

"Victory? Your Majesty, maybe you made a mistake."

A trace of unnaturalness appeared on Intardi's determined face, and he raised his brows:

"What the gods of order never want is to fight head-on. I think... it should be escape."

"Escape.... Escape?"

"Yes."

Intardi nodded and said: "At first I was also very surprised. After all, the reputation of the gods in order is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but in the following time, I and a few friends who are also professionals who are close to gods. By communicating with each other and combining with some ancient books, it can be concluded that the ancestor god of the blue blood who caused the disaster of the ancients is such a great existence."

Then Intardi explained to William in a low voice, how strong the Lord of the Blue is, and how critical the ancient empire of the Blue Blood is.

On the other side of the banquet, Xiude drank a drink while plucking his ears.

I heard that brother.

However, Xiude had already passed the age when a mortal would be proud of it. He subconsciously omitted Intardi's narration about the Lord of the Blue and captured the key information.

The Patriarchate Alliance wants to do big things.

Chapter 51 The Essence of the Church-State Alliance

The Ecclesiastical Alliance really wants to do something big.

They want to expand.

This is really a very strange thing for the religious state, because since the current territory was determined hundreds of years ago, the major religious states have little desire to expand. The resources, wealth, population and Prestige is not needed for the kingdom of God on earth.

The gods of order only need the faith of mortals, and the purity of their faith is particularly critical.

It's not that you keep the name of the gods on your lips all the time, and you can provide power to the gods of order by praying if you have anything to do.

If believers only regard the deity as the supreme being omnipotent, and worship because of powerful power or unexplainable desire, it will not only bring food to the deity, but even poison.
