Chapter 308: The wedding date has been set, and the Duke of Thorn is shocked
Rand turned his eyes to the briefing in his hand.
The content made Rand feel a little sick, as it detailed many of the details of their massacres.
For example, you encounter a very difficult minotaur.
Surrounded by dozens of paladins and with his face cut by swords, he still fought to the death.
Rand knew this minotaur. He was conquered by Rand along with the elite minotaur Shasa.
I had been staying in the village in Crescent Territory before, but later, as Rand's territory expanded, I came here to preach.
I didn't expect to sacrifice.
Moreover, Rand discovered that the Paladin commander who seemed to be not very smart before was actually the Son of God.
Is the value of the Son of God of the Torch Church so low, or has it become more casual now that it has split?
Rand read the briefing to Karin who was standing beside him. Karin covered her face helplessly and explained, "He is a self-proclaimed Holy Son."
Anyway, Karin doesn't recognize him as the Son of God.
Then Karin returned to her seriousness, handed a piece of parchment to Rand, and said, "Put it in the box."
Rand took it and looked at it, and found that it was a threatening letter written by Karin herself.
Now Karin looks more like a cult saint.
It said that if anyone was sent to invade the Novice Sect's sphere of influence again, Karin would go there personally and burn the New Holy City to ashes.
"If you reveal your identity, you will definitely be targeted by various forces." Rand said, "By then, your detective agency will definitely not be able to operate, let alone anything else."
"Don't mention it." Karin said softly without changing her expression.
She enjoyed being a detective and moving around the resort, but it would be too embarrassing to say it out loud, after all, she had not yet resigned from her position as the Saint of the Torch Church.
A saintly woman who specializes in finding cats for people? If you tell anyone about it, your reputation will be ruined.
“If the New Holy City keeps sending people to harass me, it would also be trampling on my reputation.” Karin knew that she would not be able to escape her responsibility as the Holy Maiden of the Torch Church for too long.
She knew very well that her detective agency had only been open for a short time. Now that something like this had happened, she could use her identity to threaten New Holy City so that they would not invade again.
This time, all 300 Torch Church Paladins were killed. Although Karin did not contribute much, the Grand Knight in the New Holy City must think that such a result must be all due to Karin's actions.
Otherwise, even if such combat power was surrounded and attacked by the entire force of a Grand Duke, it would be highly likely that most of them would escape, rather than none of them escaping and all becoming ears in a box.
Rand took a look at the Saint of the Torch Church. In his opinion, this Saint should quite like the detective life in the holiday villa.
As one of the few "kings" in this world, Karin's every move was watched by all the major forces in the world, until she disappeared after attacking the Old Holy City.
After that, Karin gradually faded out of the sight of all parties.
She was given a rare freedom.
But if she sends a threatening letter to the Grand Knight now, she will return to the sight of all major forces.
This can indeed make the Grand Knight of the New Holy City cautious.
But it would be difficult for Karin to stay in the resort and personally promote cooperation with the Goddess of Abundance Sect.
Let’s not talk about whether this threatening letter is consistent with Karin’s past character and whether the Grand Knight of the Templar of the New Holy City can believe it.
In terms of light effects, there are both advantages and disadvantages.
Because Rand's new Cult of the Goddess of Plenty and Karin's Novice Cult will appear together in the vision of all forces, rather than being regarded as heretics only by the New Holy City.
Rand believed that if Karin's threatening letter was delivered, it would certainly bring some peace to the territory, but it would be very detrimental to the development of the Goddess of Plenty sect.
Once the king and nobles become wary of the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty, it will be difficult for it to continue to develop along its current grassroots path.
Without faith to consolidate his rule, Rand would never have been able to stabilize his territory at such a fast pace.
You have to know that he has only been in this world for more than three years, and almost all of his territories were conquered.
Not to mention that Rand's missionary model is very profitable.
This grassroots route is actually a win-win for all parties. The villagers have become rich, Rand has made money by dumping daily necessities and controlling grassroots trade, and the noble lords can govern the local area comfortably.
But once the nobles become wary of the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty, this income will be cut.
The Cult of the Goddess of Plenty may be considered a heresy by the Utilitarians, but cannot be considered a cult by the nobles.
Now Rand's sect cannot be looked at carefully by the upper scale.
"It's not necessary." After reading Karin's threatening letter, Rand handed the parchment to Karin and said, "I think it's not necessary."
Karin didn't take the threatening letter. She wondered if the cult leader in front of her was out of her mind. She had already decided to make a sacrifice, but he didn't seize this opportunity. "So how do you plan to deal with the New Holy City?"
Rand pointed to the bag filled with paladin ears and said, "I think this stuff is enough to let His Excellency the Grand Knight of the Temple see that we are not easy to mess with. Then, the next time he comes to trouble me, he should at least double or even triple the number of troops he sends out?"
“We will not sit idly by when we pass through various countries.”
The movements of a knight group of nearly a thousand people would be difficult to conceal, and would inevitably arouse the vigilance of all parties.
A knight group of nearly a thousand people might be enough to destroy a small principality.
At that time, the Frost Moon Kingdom would naturally support him, so he didn't have to worry.
As for if the Grand Knight and the King of the Kingdom of Boren come up with the same strategy and choose to select a few strong men to carry out special tactics, Rand is not afraid.
In fact, Rand felt that the high-end combat power that he, the Count of the Moon Phase, possessed was far beyond the standard.
"And here's the thing." Rand still pointed at the bag and asked his guards loudly, "If they come again, are you afraid?"
“Ha~”
Rand's answer was laughter, the rubbing of fists, and the sound of armor and weapons rubbing against each other.
Rand shook the parchment in his hand twice again, and this time Karin took it.
"Then don't regret it." Karin said with her arms crossed over her chest. When she did this, she could feel that her figure was slightly better than Elsa's.
Karin finished speaking, and the letter in her hand turned into ashes and disappeared.
Rand took the guards back.
Originally, the Full Moon Territory had been gradually stabilizing, but this massacre made Rand very sick, and he needed to strengthen the intelligence investigation of the Torch Church in the New Holy City.
Originally, Rand's external intelligence focus was to find the ratman named "Quirrel". This ratman was one of the protagonists of "Deep Moon" and would have a huge impact, but Rand has not found him yet.
It seems that we can only let it go for now and deal with the intelligence issue of the New Holy City first.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Also, I have to go back to Wanyueling this time.
After discussions between him, Ellie, and the White King, they finally felt that they needed to formally get engaged first.
The White Kingdom was not so troublesome, but since both Rand and Ellie had received instruction from their aunt, the Duke of Thorn, they unanimously decided to get formally engaged first.
At the same time, he also told the nobles of other countries not to try to get their female relatives to Rand's side.
However, the White King could not attend the engagement ceremony in person. The orc disaster was getting worse and worse, and she, as the king of the White Kingdom, needed to be present in person.
Whether she is commanding the overall situation or doing things personally, she cannot leave the territory of the White Country at will.
Therefore, the engagement ceremony would not be too grand. Rand only sent a notice to the domestic nobles and did not invite them to the resort to watch the ceremony.
As for the host of the engagement ceremony...it is tentatively scheduled to be Bishop Kahn.
Olenna might attend as Ellie's elder, but as for Rand, there is really no suitable elder. Maybe the Dark Goddess of Plenty could be considered? But it can't be the Dark Goddess of Plenty who attends in person?
That's the end of the resort.
However, Rand was still very emotional when he found out that he actually had to issue a notice.
Instead of inviting the great nobles and the king of the country to watch his engagement ceremony, he actually sent a special notice to them.
It was originally agreed that the king and the great nobles would come to watch his wedding.
Rand now finally had a sense of his current position.
At Rand's engagement ceremony, the level of the people who appeared was actually the great nobles and the king of a country.
If it were in Rand's previous life, it would be...
…
On Rand's way back to Crescent Territory, Lord Thorn received a letter from Rand.
The above means that Rand is going to hold an engagement ceremony, but since the orc disaster is imminent, it is not suitable for a grand ceremony, so it will not be too grand, and other nobles will not be invited to watch the ceremony.
Seeing this, Duke Thorn's face changed drastically.
His aunt had written to him before, saying that the marriage had failed, but he didn't take it seriously.
He felt that his aunt was embarrassed to say that she was trying hard to marry a younger person.
After all, although he had written back, weren't his aunt and his daughter still in Rand's territory? Obviously, even though they didn't admit it, they were actually trying to complete the family mission.
The Duke of Thorns was also full of confidence. After all, who could resist the joint service of his aunt and niece? This was simply a perfect plan, and the Duke of Thorns felt that he would definitely succeed.
He also specifically observed other nobles who also wanted to marry Rand, and found that the fighting power of their competitors was too weak.
What competitiveness does an ordinary young girl have!
The Duke of Thorn originally felt that he was sure to win.
And then there is…
If he really failed, then why did his aunt and legitimate daughter still stay in Rand's territory?
?
Duke Thorn's expression kept changing.
Duke Thorn turned his gaze back to the notice letter. He wanted to see who was trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
Then Lord Thorn saw the name of the woman who was engaged to Rand.
Ellie Callant.
As we all know, there is only one family in this world whose surname is Calant.
This family also has no branches.
