Quick Transmigration: Losing All Standing and Reputation - Chapter 90

[Chapter 90 Glory recovery (twenty-two)]

Rhine also knew that to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself. But after careful consideration, he still made such a decision. One is to give the unsettled Holy See army a chance to defect, the other is to allow these doctors who have never been on the battlefield to accumulate some experience, and the third is to experiment with the effects of new drugs. With these three reasons, he dared to openly help the wounded of the enemy, hoping to minimize the sacrifice of both sides.

But Rhine knew that this was all he could do, and there would be no next time. After this time, all the soldiers who were unwilling to join the Palatinate could only be treated as the enemy, fighting until the last moment, until they fell.

If he chose violent means, Rhine would no longer be able to treat everyone equally. If he chose his position, he would have to bear the corresponding consequences.

Rhine surrounded the monastery with the rest.

The walls of the monastery were built high and solid. At first, it seemed to prevent the escape of the unbearable ascetic monks. Later, it became a means of defending wealth, and the defense ability was no less than that of some noble castles.

This is not difficult for Rhine. Weapons similar to siege have been prepared in advance. Compared with the magnificent city, the monastery in front of it is so insignificant, and it is easy to open a breakthrough.

Rhine bravely rushed to the forefront. After all, what they wanted to do was to attack the monastery, which was a challenge to the authority of the Holy See. In the Fran dynasty, almost everyone intertwined their belief in God with their obedience to the Holy See. Even though Rhine made so many foreshadowings and shook their minds severely, it still needed a hearty victory to completely set the tone.

And Rhine wanted to give these soldiers confidence and tore off the last fig leaf of the so-called miracles.

The huge movement alarmed the people in the monastery.

Most of the monks in the monastery are strictly arranged for a day of prayer and labor, and they live day after day in the monastery like a domesticated flock.

The poor monks were so terrified that some even thought that such a calamity was due to the inattentiveness of their prayers, which offended the gods.

Unlike these ascetic monks who have almost lost their individuality in group life, the abbot quickly responded that this was an attack from the outside world.

But that’s about it.

Everything that followed was like a shattered ground and a sloping flood, inundating the entire monastery with an unstoppable tendency.

The monastery is supposed to be guarded by legions, but this is the monastery closest to Blandings Castle, and most of the people sent by Pope Geffen to attack Blandings Castle are drawn from here. At this moment, the legion in the monastery has collapsed.

And those ascetic monks who have been overly brainwashed, when they encounter such a thing, rather than fighting back, their first reaction is to pray.

The Abbot of the Abbey was usually satisfied with the enthusiasm of the ascetic monks, but today he was about to laugh angrily.

Most of these ascetic monks turned a deaf ear.

Their life in the monastery is very boring, meditation and prayer occupy a considerable part of their lives, and the rest of the time has to maintain high-intensity labor. When they felt physical pain, the instructions given by the dean were for them to pray to remove the pain. Over time, prayer became their way of coping with everything. This way of coping makes them seem dull, obedient, and easy to manipulate. The Pope was very satisfied with this situation, and the dean implemented such a strategy, training batches of ascetic monks to look like this.

And it’s time for them to suffer.

On weekdays, they felt that these ascetic monks were obedient. But in fact, these ascetics were only accustomed to prayer and labor, and there was no doubt about their dispatch.

Today, Rhine led the army to break through the defense of the outer wall of the monastery. The Holy See’s legion has only a few scattered generals, and the only hard-working ascetic monks have completely given up their resistance. They made prayer gestures and prayed in unison. The scene was solemn and grotesque.

The soldiers who came in were shocked by this scene for a moment, and they felt a strong sense of discomfort.

When Rhine saw this scene, he frowned. He always knew that the Holy See was a cancer. This cancer took root in the bodies of the lower classes, sucked their blood and sweat, and then grew strong. But seeing this scene with my own eyes still makes my scalp numb. These ascetic monks are more well-behaved than domesticated sheep, and it seems that there is no self-awareness left in their minds.

This scene made Rhine’s anger high. He raised the sword in his hand, angered, and loudly issued the order to attack. This decisive and majestic shouting dispelled the strange discomfort in the soldiers’ hearts, making them pick up weapons and go forward decisively. The weapons were not swung at the ascetic monks who were as obedient as lambs, but bypassed them and fought with the legion and the administrators of the monastery.

Until the Rhine occupied the entire monastery, the group of ascetic monks were still praying there, seemingly unafraid that the sword would fall on them, believing that God’s blessing would keep them safe and sound.

Rhine had some incomprehensible beliefs about this sickness, and hardly knew what to do with these ascetic monks. Soon, Rhine came up with a solution.

The wealth in the monastery was looted by the Rhine, and these ascetic monks were taken back by the Rhine to farm, yes, farm.

As the big landowner of Canno, it is too easy for Rhine to find some uncultivated land. After placing these ascetic monks on these land, there is not much to do, as long as people provide food regularly.

These ascetic monks were still a little nervous at first, but seeing that life was no different from before in the monastery, and there were even fewer overseers who would use various punishment methods, their mentality gradually relaxed. They started praying and farming every day as in the monastery, eating more food than the monastery provided.

Many ascetics do not understand what is going on, and they attribute the peace to prayer.

When Rhine sent people to take them to other places, these ascetic monks did not resist or fear at all. They followed the people obediently and were distributed to various villages to cultivate the land together with the farmers.

Rhine hopes that these ascetic monks can also live a normal life, but these ascetic monks have been subjected to long-term brainwashing control, and it is difficult to forcibly modify their thoughts. Rhine now only hopes that they can be gradually assimilated by living together among ordinary people.

After the Holy See discovered the looted monastery, the Pope was shocked and angry, and the battle of Blandings Castle was frustrated, and it was a shame that someone else had stolen the property in turn. But after this strong sense of humiliation, there is a sense of crisis that cannot disappear.

Rhine’s actions were too ostentatious, and he didn’t even bother to pull any pretense, as if he was determined to tear his face off.

In fact, if the Battle of Blandings Castle and the Abbey are separated from each other, the Holy See has already lost two battles in a row. On the other hand, Rhine’s Legion was the opposite. The Holy See’s coat of god had been rubbed off by Rhine in two battles, wiping away the sacred halo. These well-trained soldiers soon returned to their usual routine. The level can play a far superior strength to these two battles.

Geffen’s hunch was correct, and Rhine soon launched an attack on several other monasteries in Canno. The building structure of these monasteries is exactly the same, perhaps because the design is indestructible enough. But for the Rhine Legion, which had successfully invaded the monastery once, this was really not a challenging job. Although Geffen appeared to be very confident in the Holy See’s legion, he couldn’t hide his fear and couldn’t help asking for support.

Geffen sent letters for help to the district churches around Canno and to nobles in the Canno area.

The sub-district churches around Canno are far away, so they won’t talk about it if they don’t receive news for a while. Even if they receive news, they have to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision on whether to help.

Therefore, Geffen focused his call for help on the nobles in Canno. Those slightly older nobles had their own private soldiers, and the integration of large and small forces was quite considerable.

But these nobles were more or less involved in the sea-ship business, and they dipped a lot with Rhine. Even if there are those nobles who plan to help the Holy See when the Rhine and the Holy See are openly at war, and then replace the Rhine, they have to measure the size and strength of the legion under Rhine, and then decide whether to take this risk. Due to various factors, the number of troops the church borrowed from the Canno nobles was very limited. Most of the nobles rejected the church’s request, while the remaining nobles agreed, but they were unwilling to send too many troops for fear of being discovered by Rhine. Their actions only lent some symbolically.

After receiving replies from all parties, Geffen lost his temper fiercely, and finally had to endure it and greeted everyone with a smile, watching these noble men who used to respect him change their expressions and wait for him. to please.

Geffen jumped in a hurry here, where Rhine attacked the monasteries one by one according to the plan, using the wealth accumulated in the monastery for many years to invest in various production, including some military supplies and medical supplies. Production needed for people’s livelihood.

Rhine remembered very clearly that war was never his goal, it was just a means he had to use.

Geffen’s ominous premonitions were realized one by one, and when he was pushed to the limit, he had to ask Rhine for talks. Geffen has been in the position of the zoning pope for many years, and he has a deep understanding of the power of the church. Therefore, he cannot understand why Rhine made these almost suicidal actions. Although Rhine did push him to the edge of the cliff, Geffen did not think that Rhine had the ability to compete with the Holy See of the entire Fran dynasty. Once the church power in the entire Canno area is completely eliminated, the Holy See of the main district will definitely not let this matter lightly, and Rhine will be forced to jump on the edge of the cliff like Geffen.

Out of this consideration, Geffen wanted to do some benefit exchange with Rhine in order to survive.

But Rhine’s firmness shattered Geffen’s dream.

Rhine didn’t want to see Geffen at all. He didn’t care what the interests Geffen wanted to exchange. All he knew was that the church, an outdated blood-sucking institution, was about to collapse. will stop for any benefit.

In the 32nd year of the reign of George I, the Count of Palatinate destroyed the Diocese of the Holy See in Canno.
