??Danfries Cathedral is the largest church in Dumfries-Gavery County and the wealthiest church.

?? Hobbs is the priest of Dumfries Cathedral, and he is also respected as the pastor by people who are close to him.

??The appearance of Pastor Hobbs is no different from that of priests at this time. With a Mediterranean hairstyle, a round face, and a friendly smile, he looks trustworthy.

??If you have to say that he is different from other priests, it is that he has a pair of sharp eyes and a flat stomach. If you look at it seriously, a shrewd breath radiates from the inside out.

??At this time, the hall used to be a high-level gathering in the church, but at this time there are densely packed young priests standing one by one.

??Nine senior priests with gray beards sat on specially set seats, wearing cassocks made of high-grade linen, sitting solemnly, looking extremely serious.

?? As a result, the atmosphere in the conference room became more serious. To exaggerate, even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

??The bright candlelight lit up the entire meeting room. In this era of darkness at night, the consumption of wealth in it is unimaginable for ordinary people.

?? Priest Hobbs also sat solemnly in his own seat, his thick eyebrows frowned, it seemed that he was not in a very good mood.

??The atmosphere remained silent like this. With the flickering of the candle lights, everyone became more and more tense.

?? It seemed that he had almost thought about it. Hobbs stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows the situation in Scotland recently. The nobles from all over the place are like a mad wolf, shamelessly attacking and plundering churches everywhere!"

?? "This is against the will of God. This is a blasphemy against our Lord. The great and almighty Lord will definitely punish sinners!"

?? In the end, Hobbs' voice became louder and louder, and when everyone heard this, their morale, which had been somewhat sluggish, was immediately lifted and their spirits lifted.

??Seeing this, Hobbs glanced at it, and then nodded.

?? It is impossible for Hobbs to use faith to boost morale. After all, the whole of Scotland is too abnormal during this period of time, or the Scottish nobles have gone crazy.

Monasteries and churches all over the world have been attacked by the nobles, and a large amount of church property and gold coins have been plundered. The original priests can only eat hard black bread, wear shabby cloth clothes, and guard the looters. An empty church, full of bitterness.

??Thinking of this, Hobbs shook his head immediately. He didn't want to face such a scene.

?? "Everyone, although the Almighty Lord has been blessing and protecting us, we still need to take active actions to maintain our faith!"

?? Hobbs waved his arms and said loudly.

?? "For God, for the Almighty—"

?? "For God, for the Almighty—"

??...

?? Just as he finished speaking, the young priests shouted loudly. Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became lively, and a fearless momentum slowly rose.

?? After a while, the voice quieted down. Looking at the blushing young priests, smiles slowly formed on their faces.

?? "My lord priest, is there any sign in Rome?"

??At this time, a tall and thin old man, who was also a senior priest sitting on a chair, looked at Hobbs and asked softly.

??Hearing this question, Hobbs shook his head helplessly.

?? "Lord Blair, His Excellency the Pope of Rome wrote to me, expressing his inability to do anything about the current situation in the Scottish Diocese. After all, the distance is still too far, and the power of Rome cannot quickly support us!"

?? "What's more, behind the irrational behavior of the Scottish nobles this time, is the young king of England who has been supporting them all the time. Rome's power is even more difficult to support!"

??After Hobbs finished speaking, the others shook their heads helplessly. In such a situation, there is only one way to fight.

?? Asking them to give up their current comfortable and luxurious life, these senior priests are really reluctant to bear it from the bottom of their hearts. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

??Therefore, the senior priests who were still harboring hope at this time also strengthened their beliefs and spoke one after another to express their support for the priest.

??In this way, Hobbes united most of the priests of the church, and Danfries Cathedral began intensive preparations.

??Young priests walked among various villages and manors, agitating the ignorant and ignorant peasants, and seeking the support of the country gentry who had firm beliefs.

??The gold coins in the church spilled out like running water, which made Hobbs very distressed. These are all his money and his future wealth!

??However, in order to have everything now, these must be given up.

?? At the same time, Baron Danfries' orders were also taken into action. One after another, knights and jazz came to their fiefs to mobilize their forces.

?? At this time, some neutral squires became the targets of their wooing, whether it was belief or interests, they were all an important bargaining chip in wooing.

??Some people have both ways, wantonly seek benefits, and try to stand on the side with the greatest interests.

??Some, on the other hand, stick to the faith in their hearts, stand firmly on the side of the church, and are willing to give everything.

?? And some shrewd squires are silently thinking, in order to preserve the interests of the family, they start to place bets in batches.

??For a while, the people of Dumfries-Gavery County were in turmoil, and the sensitive people had already noticed that the disaster of war was coming.

??By this time, the blood blade had already been deployed deeply in Scotland, and such information had already been learned.

??Of course, there are many such conflicts in Scotland at present, even bigger than this conflict. It is impossible for Blood Blade to pay attention to all of them without so much energy.

??However, the location of Dumfries-Gavery County is too sensitive, it is too close to England.

??The leader of Blood Blade, Guy Ham, thought and analyzed carefully. He felt that this upcoming small-scale plunder was extraordinarily different.

??First, after more than half a year of plundering the church property by the entire Scottish nobles, they plundered a lot of wealth, and the church suffered heavy losses.

?? In this way, the church will definitely not let it go if it has been aggrieved for too long, and it is very likely that this incident will be used as a counterattack.

Second, in this plunder, the Danfries Cathedral has always shown a weak side on the outside, but according to Blood Blade's investigation, the strength of the Danfries Cathedral has been underestimated. In fact, the strength of the Danfries Cathedral The strength even surpassed Baron Danfries by a head.

?? Therefore, it is very likely that the Danfries Church will win this plunder, breaking the situation that the church has been beaten.

?? And the nobles certainly don't want to see such a scene, and suppression is inevitable.

??The church will not be reconciled to this victory being suppressed, and will definitely resist.

?? In this way, this conflict is very likely to spread throughout Scotland.
