Chapter 161: The subscription has dropped so badly! Please subscribe! Woohoo!

Well! Asking is almost the same as not asking! Bruno has almost all the religious books that the church can make public! He spent a lot of effort to collect them!

after all……

He is also a real owner of the Order of St. George, so he must do enough work to save his face.

Otherwise, if someone from the church came one day, wouldn't it be easy to be exposed? A few days ago, Idar Territory had made a mistake, and it almost exposed the current situation of Idar Territory. If Mike hadn't been smart enough, I'm afraid all the previous efforts would have been wasted...

You know, Mike worked hard to lick himself into a priest and entered the Inquisition.

So, this opportunity like this may only come once.

"But..." Arnel seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "In a few days, there will probably be a lot more civilians who believe in the church..."

"oh?"

Bruno immediately became interested when he heard Mike's words.

"There's a war in the north..." Anel said in a deep voice.

As Bruno's student and Idar's mage advisor, Anel naturally knew about the war in the northern border.

The imperial soldiers were stagnant and war was raging in the northern border of the empire. These news made Bruno alert and naturally attracted Anel's attention.

"Whenever natural disasters or man-made disasters occur, the lowest class of civilians will be helpless, and may even become homeless, with their families broken up. However, the church can give them spiritual sustenance at this time, telling them that only by believing in God can they gain hope..."

Hearing this, Bruno nodded naturally.

After all, whether in the previous life or this life, the emergence and development of religions mostly have specific historical backgrounds. Severe disasters and the ravages of foreign races will make people yearn for the coming of a savior in their hearts, and thus find spiritual sustenance in despair to soothe their scarred spiritual world.

This was true for the three major religions in the previous life, and it is also true for the Church of Light in this life.

only……

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. The war between the two countries will allow the church to gain more believers, and the past history can only be found in the secret books of the church...

Coupled with the God of Light worshipped by the church and the remaining divine power on the Francia Islands, Bruno gradually developed more doubts about the church.

Although Bruno still couldn't figure out the role of the church in this war, it was all too coincidental, as if there was an invisible hand controlling everything...

"You go down first..." Bruno said to Arnel.

Bruno had no idea what role the church played, but as the owner of the Order of St. George, which has the right to interpret religion, Bruno could take precautions and make preparations in advance.

As a border city of the empire, Idar was not the focus of the church's attention. Therefore, the number of civilians who believed in the church was much smaller than that of the cities in the central and western parts of the empire.

According to statistics from the Idar Immigration Administration a few days ago, the population of the Idar Territory Faith Church accounts for about one-eighth of the total population.

Although it still seems like a lot, it is much better than the ratio of one-half or even two-thirds in other places.

After all, Bruno didn't want to see a group of devout believers who only knew how to worship gods all day long in his territory, and he didn't want to see unstable factors like religious lunatics appear in his territory.

only……

At least for now, the church has not taken any extraordinary actions on the surface. Therefore, Bruno naturally has to be extremely cautious about religion, an area that no one wants to touch.

If you are too abrupt, you might end up hurting yourself.

well……

Bruno rubbed his head and let out a long breath.

In his previous life, when he played "Europa 4", what he hated most was the era of the Reformation.

Because no one knows when and where a bunch of screaming religious fanatics will appear, and the religious reform centers are so overwhelming that it is particularly annoying to clean the floor.

Bruno stayed in the classroom thinking for a long time before he got up and went back to his study upstairs.

Pull out a piece of white paper from the drawer and scribble on it with a quill pen...

…

As a sharp whistle sounded in the open space in front of the military camp, bursts of running and shouting began to be heard in the Idar regular army camp, which had been silent.

As the population of Idar Territory gradually increased, the total number of Idar's standing army has increased to 800, more than double the previous number of 300.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although it still doesn't seem like much, it's already a force that can't be underestimated! Moreover, the weapons and equipment of Idar's soldiers can be regarded as the best in the Norman Empire!

Not to mention the magic crystal bombs unique to Idar County, the sabers and armor equipped by the soldiers alone far exceed the standard equipment of the imperial soldiers.

The sabers and armor equipped by the soldiers were all jointly developed by the mage apprentices of the Idar Steel Factory and the Idar Magic Array Research Laboratory.

As the first and largest factory in Idar Territory, the daily steel production of Idar Steel Plant is almost an astronomical figure compared to the original one.

Moreover, all of this steel is extremely hard and tempered steel!

Compared with those daggers made by the "lump iron smelting" method, they are simply not weapons on the same level.

The saber made of hundred-fold steel is already extremely sharp, and with the magic array engraved on the back of the saber by the mage apprentices, it is even more invincible in battle! The only drawback is... it consumes more magicians...

After all, the Originium had just been brought back to Idal Territory by Bruno, and it would undoubtedly take a relatively long time from research to application. Therefore, the magic solidification array is still the mainstream in Idal Territory.

After a while, neatly dressed and dignified Idar soldiers stood in neat rows on the training ground in front of the military camp.

Sam Layton looked at the army in front of him. Although he had a stern face, he couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

As the former commander of the city defense army and the current commander of Idar's standing army, Sam Layton is most aware of the changes that have taken place in these soldiers during these days.

From a group of guys who just sat and waited for meals all day to today's elite soldiers who are full of energy and high morale, Bruno's methods of training and strengthening the army simply left Sam Layton dumbfounded.

Warm reminder: I hope that everyone can express their suggestions directly when making suggestions. As long as they make sense, the author will accept them humbly. (It is best to do it in the book friend circle of Qidian Reading App, because there are too many comments, and comments posted elsewhere may be drowned out)

For example, a book friend commented tactfully that "the writing was good in the beginning, but it became more and more that after chapter 70." I hope everyone can put forward suggestions directly, because the author really can't guess what "that" refers to...
