Chapter 603 Hehe, the cultists still understand the cultists better
Although Rand is the leader of a cult, in the eyes of many cult members, he is already an evil enemy.
Perhaps Rand is more difficult for the cultists than the people of the Torch Church.
The reasons are very simple. The first one is of course because of Rand’s blessing, [Blessing 6: Favor of the Torch Goddess].
Another reason is that the believers under Rand are very experienced in dealing with cultists.
Although now Rand has completely cleaned up the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health.
But the team back then had been cultists for a long time.
Rand also offered some courses on how cultists could blend into human towns without being discovered.
But now, we can only say that compared to the Torch Church, the cultists understand the cultists better.
Rand's purpose of coming out to clean up the cultists in the territory this time was naturally not simply to clean up the cultists.
This time he also brought a number of new students from the Torch Church and the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health to practice together how to discover and capture the cultists in the territory.
Rand himself will not take direct action, he will only clean up afterward.
Rand himself is not actually very proficient in catching cultists, but since Blessing 6 can directly obtain the suspect, it is much easier to reason in reverse.
In short, this time we will train new people while getting rid of the parasites in the territory.
Rand set out with Queen Ellie and Inspector Elsa.
The last time we went to the Elf Forest, I left a lot of things to the Queen and Elsa, so now it's a good time to take them on vacation.
As for the affairs of the territory, Lysa and Olenna can naturally handle them.
So in the carriage, Rand sat in the middle, Ellie on his left was looking at a booklet of clothing art designs, and Elsa on his right was studying a recipe book.
Ellie is not only a great wizard, but also a fashion designer. However, as the queen now, she doesn't design clothes herself very often.
Elsa also had to squeeze out a lot of time for her hobbies because of her work, but Elsa has already achieved her goal. She has won the championship of the Sanctuary Cooking Competition.
"Recently, the food department has been asking you if you have any instructions regarding the food of the Sanctuary Force in the future." Elsa leaned lightly on Rand's shoulder.
"Let them collect more food from different regions and develop more edible areas. Some food may not only be edible as fruits. Also, try to develop functional food, such as military rations that can be stored for a long time and are suitable for replenishing energy."
Elsa said she understood.
Ellie looked at the art design book for a while, then rested her chin on her hand and stopped reading.
She also heard that her sister was coming.
In Ellie's eyes, the development of the relationship between her sister and Rand is still a bit uncertain. She doesn't know whether Rand, the coward, can be defeated in one fell swoop with her sister coming to help this time.
Rand is actually quite bold, but in Ellie's eyes it is still not enough.
She had long seen that her sister was not actually that resistant to Rand.
In fact, she felt that Rand could have taken off his pants and pounced on her to solve the problem long ago.
But Rand was still too timid and dragged it on until now.
But it's not bad, judging from Rand's reaction, the progress should be almost there. Her wish of her family remaining a family is about to come true! In short, Ellie is very satisfied with her current life. When she decided to be with Rand, she didn't think about becoming a queen in the future.
Now that Rand is king, Ellie feels a little unreal.
But life is pretty good now, although she was very busy when she was a baroness, very busy when she was a countess, and very busy when she was a duchess.
Now that she is the queen, she is still very busy.
…
At this time, the sea was surging with waves.
The new king of the Kingdom of Bollen was standing on the deck with a haggard look on his face.
He was cursing Rand's life.
The residents of the Kingdom of Bolun are born good sailors on the ocean, and the royal family of the Kingdom of Bolun even has a blood connection with the ocean.
This allows the residents of the Kingdom of Bolen to better adapt to life on the ocean.
But this does not mean that they can leave the land.
After all, humans are land creatures, not marine creatures like the Naga. If they stay on the ship all the time, their quality of life will drop significantly.
Even he, the king, is the same.
The orthodoxy of the Borun Kingdom is now displaced. In fact, the army of the Frost Moon Kingdom only conquered the main cities of the Borun Kingdom on the mainland, but did not conquer the islands belonging to the Borun Kingdom in the ocean.
This gave the exiled government of the Kingdom of Bolen some room to survive.
But being able to survive doesn't mean things are getting better.
Today, the islands that were previously controlled by the Kingdom of Bolen have become increasingly disobedient, unwilling to supply the fleet with materials in a timely manner, and may even tip off Rand's people.
Now these islands are no longer safe for the Bolen Kingdom's fleet. When they docked a while ago, there were even Rand's assassins who showed up and killed several of their sailors, which made the fleet a little nervous.
"Perhaps we can seek refuge with a southern country and ask them to support us in restoring our country, and then give them some benefits when the time comes." The new king can no longer stand his current life.
The water he drank today stank of rotten seaweed.
The servants who heard the new king mumbling to himself dared not say anything more.
Even if there are other southern countries willing to support the restoration of the Kingdom of Bolen, can any of them defeat Rand?
It is estimated that they will only use the fleet of the Kingdom of Boren to strengthen their naval strength and annoy Rand from a distance.
In that case, the new king might be secretly poisoned, or given the best food and drink?
The new king's attendants are unknown.
…
In fact, there are several countries that are planning to contact the fleet of the Kingdom of Bolen.
The fleet of the Kingdom of Borun, this powerful maritime overlord, has no real rival, at least for now.
Receiving the fleet of the Kingdom of Borun and recognizing the sovereignty of the former king of the Kingdom of Borun will undoubtedly lead to hostility with Rand.
For several countries bordering the Moon Kingdom, doing so is not a wise choice.
But for those southern countries that are tens of thousands of miles away from the Moon Kingdom, it doesn't matter if they are at odds with Rand.
The benefits of gaining the Bolen Kingdom's fleet far outweigh the risks of becoming hostile to Rand.
The Champs Elysees Kingdom was holding a meeting at this time to consider this issue.
The Champs-Elysées Kingdom is a country very far away from the Moon Kingdom.
"The envoy from the Kingdom of Bolen has arrived." The clerk in the palace said to the King of the Kingdom of Champs-Elysées.
Outside the palace at this time.
Ranta and Chad were also whispering to each other.
"Is that the carriage of the envoy from the Kingdom of Bolen?" Ranta asked Chad.
Ranta and Chad worked in the New Holy City for a while. Later, some utilitarian paladins from the New Holy City went to the Kingdom of Boren for support, but were wiped out by Rand.
The still staunch utilitarian forces in the New Holy City have weakened somewhat.
Today, of course, it is still a new holy city dominated by utilitarianism.
But with the support of the Sanctuary forces, the old Knight Commander has already possessed his own power, and his voice in the New Holy City is becoming increasingly stronger.
Ranta and Chad certainly played a significant role in it, but now that it was almost done, there was no need for them to stay in the New Holy City anymore. It would be enough to let the newcomers handle the problem.
These two clergymen with outstanding abilities can go to other places where their work is more needed.
Rand has always been worried about their safety.
Knowing that they would not be idle, he equipped both of them with strong dragon-blooded hippogriffs, and also arranged a lot of special magical equipment and relic instruments.
These equipment and mounts are very expensive, but compared with the contributions of the two of them, they are simply not worth mentioning.
In fact, Rand would rather they just come back and take a leisurely job with good benefits.
But in response to Rand's request, Ranta and Chad basically just procrastinated.
For example, I will definitely go back next time.
"Do you want to kill that messenger?" Chad clearly saw Ranta's thoughts.
According to normal logic, killing the envoy is equivalent to the Champs-Elysées Kingdom's disdain for the Bollen Kingdom. Not only did it disagree with the Bollen Kingdom's request, but it also killed the envoy.
Even if the Kingdom of Bollen could understand the Kingdom of Champs Elysees, the death of the envoy was just an accident and not the result of the Kingdom of Champs Elysees' personal actions.
There will be at least one unprotected pimple.
A possible cooperation may be cancelled because of this.
But in fact, under the current circumstances, there is not much meaning in doing so. The Champs-Elysées Kingdom can just hand over the person who killed the envoy to the Bolen Kingdom, and the matter will be over.
After all, the one that is in urgent need of relying on someone is the Kingdom of Bolen. Although the Kingdom of Champs-Elysées is also in urgent need of a powerful fleet to defend its territorial waters and contain Rand, it is not a need for survival.
"I have some ideas, but it seems that you think this is not a good idea?" Ranta squatted on the ground and wrote and drew on the ground with a small branch.
"Typical small-power thinking!" Chad snorted coldly.
If these two people were strangers, or if Chad was just an outsider with whom he had a good relationship, then it would be somewhat offensive to say this.
But for Chad, as a member of the Torch Church, it doesn't matter.
Because the three words "Chad's small force" include their Torch Church.
"So what should we do?" Ranta asked.
"We can just apply pressure as His Majesty's envoys." Chad gave the answer.
"Doesn't the king here want to cause trouble for Your Majesty? Won't we be driven out or arrested if we go there directly?" Ranta asked.
"If everyone in this country has wholeheartedly decided to be the enemy of Your Majesty, then there is no need for the envoys from the Kingdom of Bolen to come here, and there is no need to hold a meeting." Chad sneered.
"All we have to do is to convey His Majesty's majesty here and tell them the consequences of supporting the Kingdom of Bolen. We want to let them know that even at such a long distance, we can still do something." Chad said slowly.
Of course, there are risks in doing so, but His Majesty Rand has equipped them with so many equipment and props that their safety has been greatly increased.
If they are really being hunted down, as long as it is not the top-level professionals who rush over directly, their chances of escaping successfully are still very high.
…
When the heat dissipated a little, it was the early autumn of the 340th year of the Holy Calendar.
Rand arrived at the border village of the Dukedom of the Moon.
On the way here, Rand had dealt with many cultists, and the newcomers from the Torch Church and the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health who were accompanying him and needed to be trained had also matured a lot.
After visiting the last location, the trip came to a successful conclusion.
Rand got off the carriage and took a deep breath.
The countryside is as bright and beautiful as ever.
This time I also brought the busy Ellie and Elsa out to relax, so naturally they paid attention to the scenery.
The morning mist wove a translucent cocoon over the alfalfa field, and the dew condensed on the grass tips reflected an ambiguous tone between summer green and autumn brown. When the wind passed by, the whole field of wild oats trembled like broken silver.
Suddenly, a few clusters of rebellious sunflowers burst out... Their drooping flower disks were still covered with night dew.
It is early autumn now, so most of the fruits on the fruit trees here cannot be said to be abundant, but the green and unripe fruits still foreshadow that a good harvest is coming.
Rand led his men into the village.
This is a branch of a church school. Strictly speaking, it is no longer a village. It is a bit like the Crescent Castle that Taran governed back then.
The village has a large population. If it expands a little and builds a round of city walls, it can be called a town.
However, it is still defined as a village.
The leader here has been waiting at the village gate for a long time.
The Holy Land does not use these complicated etiquettes, but if His Majesty Rand comes to give instructions and there is no one guarding... after thinking it over, the bishop here still came out with a few people to greet him.
From Rand's perspective, the two believers behind the bishop, one strong and one thin, were both gray and black, which represented hostility.
But the bishop himself was fiery red, meaning he was a staunch supporter of Rand.
Rand frowned. Generally speaking, the regional bishops or village chiefs in the more important towns in these places have all undergone rigorous examinations.
One of the assessment contents is to judge the enemy and ourselves.
But the bishop apparently did not realize that the two men were enemies.
However, in view of the training of new members in the church and his incomplete understanding of the ability of Blessing 6, Rand did not act rashly.
Anyway, let's move in first and then start investigating. If there are really no two cultists around, then the bishop can rebuild the church school.
Morin and Dazhuang, who were members of the cult, were trembling with fear.
Even little cultists like them had heard of Rand's horror and hatred of evil.
Perhaps to normal residents, Rand is a benevolent and wise monarch.
But for cultists, it may mean a nightmare.
Da Zhuang and Mo Lin looked at each other, and the meaning of their eyes was very simple.
If they surrender now, will His Majesty Rand forgive them just because they have not done any evil?
They had been working since they were inexplicably recruited by the local bishop, and had planned to just stay there until the mission time was over and then slip away.
Now it was obvious that there was no escape.
