"Bishop, I wonder why you called us here? Did the headquarters send new instructions?"

A high priest asked cautiously. Recently, the bishop has been claiming everywhere that he has been favored and inspired by the God of Light. For believers like them, the bishop's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes. After all, it is only a matter of time before he is noticed by the gods and promoted.

"Yes, Bishop. I wonder why you called us here? There have been some turmoil in several kingdoms recently, and the kingdom churches that each of us is responsible for have been hit hard."

Another high priest couldn't help but sound a little resentful when he spoke. The whole continent has been in turmoil recently, and several countries have summoned heroes. Although those heroes ran to their Church of Light, they all ran to the headquarters.

Among them, only the Green Leaf Kingdom, which the bishop had been in charge of, summoned a hero. However, that hero at least took root in the Green Leaf Kingdom and continued to protect it. It was just that the eyes of those evil spirits were scattered to the surrounding countries, which made them feel very distressed for a time.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the internal hierarchy of the Church of Light. Each country has a high priest in charge, and above the high priest are the direct bishops in charge of multiple countries. The bishop is the highest-ranking person sent by the Church of Light.

At the headquarters of the Church of Light, above the bishops are the cardinals and the pope.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Kano smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his smile. It was exactly the same smile he used to advertise to the people around him that he was favored by the gods.

"You are all believers of God, and I am also a person favored by God. God has spoken to me. The great God of Light is somewhat dissatisfied with the number of faith and believers."

this…………

The five high priests looked at each other, including the new high priest who couldn't understand what his new boss was trying to say. It was difficult for believers to develop and there was nothing they could do about it, as those kingdoms had been suppressing them and not allowing them to spread their faith at will.

I thought it was here to solve a problem, but it turned out to be a request.

On the dark side of the continent, there are minions of the devil and the army of the demon king wreaking havoc in secret. Many churches have been inexplicably burned to ashes by the eerie white flames or simply razed to the ground by the abyss. When the people around see that the churches of the Church of Light have been destroyed, who will still believe it?

They are far away from the headquarters, and the real strong men of the Church of Light rarely come here, so it is the most difficult to develop believers here. There are also the most monsters and some strange creatures, including the minions of the Demon King's army, the devil's spies, half-demon abyss species, etc.

After a long silence, a high priest finally decided to stand up. He respectfully performed the internal etiquette of the Church of Light towards Kano, and then asked with some confusion.

"My Lord Bishop, you are well aware of our situation here. We are in the northernmost part of the entire continent. The five surrounding countries are jokingly called the five poorest countries. Only the Green Leaf Kingdom is a little bit rich. It is too difficult to develop believers. We can't spread our faith to the orcs further north, right?"

At the end, the high priest's originally gentle voice became aggrieved and complaining. It was obvious that being exiled to such a place and in such a poor country was too difficult to develop believers.

"Yes, it's really too difficult. Not only is the royal family suppressing us, but the people around us also can't see our strength. They don't believe it at all."

"I actually tried it secretly with those orcs. Those orcs slapped the priest's head into his chest. Who would dare to go there?"

"What a blasphemy! How dare you spread the teachings of light to those ignorant orcs... I have tried it before, and they are truly ignorant..."

"My Lord Bishop, don't you know a very powerful hero who is also a believer of the God of Light? How about letting the hero give it a try?"

The last priest to speak had already lost hope in Kano. He just kept saying there was not enough faith and believers. Why didn't he combine it with the actual situation? He muttered as if to vent.

Several high priests were discussing among themselves below. Some were red in the face with anger, some looked frustrated, some were indifferent, and some were just complaining dryly.

It seems that everyone is not having a good time, which is a good thing as it fits better with my next plan.

Kano subconsciously stroked the small cane in his hand that symbolized the status of bishop. When the group of priests below gradually became silent and stared at him, Kano smiled and said.

"Of course I know what kind of difficulties we have here, so I plan to make a complete change to our believers and beliefs. We should build a kingdom of light that truly belongs to the God of Light, right here in this bitter cold north!"

Bishop, after meeting the gods, did the gods take away your soul?

How could they say such unrealistic words? They all climbed up from countless priests bit by bit with their own abilities. They are not stupid or foolish. The vigilance and fear of various countries towards them are written on their faces. Now they want to establish a kingdom of light? Isn't this obviously against the royal families of the northern countries? Besides, where is the land for establishing a country? Where should we build a country? Are we going to fight with the orcs for land?

A high priest was about to raise his hand to say something when he suddenly noticed the bishop's kind gaze fixed on him. The high priest's body stiffened and he slowly lowered his raised hand, placing it neatly on his thigh, just like a good student.

"No one has any objection. I think these five countries can definitely unite and become a country full of light and sunshine."

Oh~~~~ So, Bishop, you want to annex the five countries in the north?

Several high priests suddenly realized what was going on. They suddenly remembered at this moment that behind this bishop stood an extremely powerful brave man who was not only able to crush the Transcendents, but also had a Transcendent-level heavy armored warrior and 50 iron-clad warriors who were capable of competing with the Transcendents.

With such a terrifying force, which country would dare to interfere and block the merger? Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Kano smiled and nodded, confirming their ideas. The high priests instantly became excited and began to discuss the establishment of the Kingdom of Light. But at this moment, an older high priest asked.

"Your Excellency, what should we say to the headquarters? I'm afraid the headquarters won't allow us to merge the five countries without permission, right?"

"Oh, that's too shallow. That's too shallow, Great Priest Reiner. This is the instruction God gave me. This is what God meant. Besides, has the headquarters really never thought about establishing a pure kingdom of light? They definitely thought about it, but they just didn't say it."

As he spoke, a warm light flickered behind Kano, as if a holy light was covering his hand.

Many high priests even vaguely saw a golden halo beginning to emerge from Kano's head. This magical scene made several fanatical high priests kneel down on the spot and start praying. Several other high priests were also stunned and didn't know what to say.

In fact, everything they saw was an illusion. Kano had already used the Spider Eye's illusion ray to penetrate their minds in advance, and then used his mental power to guide them to see such a miraculous scene without any doubt. They really believed that it was a miracle.

"It was God who asked me to build a country of light and lead people out of suffering and darkness." Kano's face was full of compassion, and he thought to himself that these guys would definitely believe such words.

As expected by Kano, this miraculous scene was reflected in the hearts of several high priests, and all the high priests on the spot shouted enthusiastically.

"We will definitely cooperate with the bishop's actions and build a kingdom that truly belongs to light! Long live light, long live the God of Light!!!!!"

Hearing the shouts of the high priests, Kano's eyes instantly filled with tears, and his tears dripped onto the ground drop by drop. While crying, he laughed and shouted with his hands outstretched.

"Everything you do is glorious. The great gods will watch over us from the shadows. The light of the church will soothe our souls, purify our bodies, and purify our minds!"

"Light will eventually shine on this world, light will eventually drive out darkness, light will eventually dispel all evil, leaving behind a country with only great faith, kindness, sincerity, and sacred glory!!!!"

Damn, it makes me sick.

Kano, who was already vomiting in his heart, spoke as he cast his own illusion, adding some psychological hints and some words. He waved his hands wildly like a fanatical madman.

The five high priests below were also dancing with joy, all immersed in visions of the future and the greatness of the Kingdom of Light.

"The brave man who believes in the God of Light will also send his capable subordinates to help us. We are about to complete a kingdom of faith that has never appeared on this continent. The royal family and ministers of the Green Leaf Kingdom will help us govern the country, and we only need to gather all the people of the Kingdom of Light and let them believe in the great light!"

"We don't need to worry about those trivial matters, we don't need to deal with all kinds of government affairs, we just need to unite as one and put all our energy into the great faith to gain the favor of the great God of Light!"
