    Dorle smiled slightly. He had learned a lot from the Eastern people. The reason why the church is terrible is because people believe in the church. Therefore, if you want to get rid of the church, the first thing to do is to destroy the sacred and inviolable image of the church.  .  Gregor was calm and composed, the smile in Doerle's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and gradually Gregor became a little uneasy.  Dorle raised his hand and patted it gently, "Haha, His Majesty the Pope is really powerful. Yes, once the people of the empire start making noise, it will never be easy to suppress them. However, the Frederick family is not here to destroy the church.  I came here to purify the church. Your Majesty, please hear me clearly. I never said I wanted to destroy the church." Gregor's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he was really scared.  Doerle is too calm. A person who is so calm either has someone to rely on or is a fool. Obviously Doerle is not stupid and is very smart. "Your Majesty Doerle, what do you want to do?" "Your Majesty,  Don't worry too much. I just heard that many pastors in the Ark Church kept women in captivity and defiled the church, insulting the holy God. Therefore, I came here to eliminate the church bugs and restore peace to the people of the Holy Empire.  I hope your Majesty will escape quickly." Dorle said lightly, as if he was telling an insignificant matter.  Gregory's heart sank to the bottom. Why did the people of the Holy Empire and even Rome believe in the church? It was because the church pastor was holy, represented holiness, and was the preacher of God. Once it was no longer holy, how many people would still believe in the church?  ?  Not everyone can be a preacher of God.  Doerle's move was so cruel, it was simply draining the firepower. He was not annihilating the church, but trying to control it.  Once the Dorle Mutiny was successful, the church would become a vassal of the nobility and serve the German nobility.  A church that has lost its minions is just an ordinary preacher. How can it still compete for profits?  At this moment, Gregor felt that Dorle was more terrifying than Lothair. Although Lothair was sophisticated, he was not as decisive as Dorle. This guy was really killing churches, like a mad dog.  Gregor's breathing became heavier. At this time, there were waves of exclamations and curses outside, mixed with the shouts of women. He pushed Dorle away and hurried out of the house, holding on to the railing and looking down.  Go, Gregor almost fell down.  ¡°A dozen scantily clad women shuttled among the crowd. They put their arms around church pastors and held their hands up and down. The pastors were in such a panic that they could not hide away.  Gregor could see that these women were bribed by Dorle. Dorle must have promised them countless benefits to make them put their life and death at risk, "Your Excellency Dorle, you won, you are so  "Aren't you worried about the Orientals at all?" "Of course we are, but the facts have proven that the Church is a greater threat to us. Neither the Orientals nor we want the Church to dictate terms. Your Majesty, please.  Go back to Rome, God will definitely tell you what to do." Raising his hands, several soldiers rushed up and dragged Gregor down.  The moment he left the Ark Church, Gregory shed tears. It took thousands of years for the church to establish a huge power in the Holy Empire. After today, the Holy Empire will no longer be under the rule of the church.  Thinking of the efforts of past popes, I am really ashamed to death.  The church will become a tool in the hands of the German nobles. From today on, the innocence of the Holy Empire will really change its color.  Gregor was sent away, and the pastor of the Ark Church was also taken into custody. During this period, troops and horses were mobilized very frequently, and the nearby Germanic people had no idea what was going on.  It wasn't until the next day that explosive news came out. A large number of pastors in the Ark Church were keeping women in captivity, which was an insult to God's vision and would be hanged in three days.  When this news came out, the entire Holy Empire was shaken to pieces, especially in the Hohenzollern region. Many church people were shocked and speechless.  Three days passed quickly, and a total of more than 30 priests and 27 women were sent to the gallows. The crazy Hohenzollern people clamored to hang these priests who insulted God with their own hands, and their beliefs were also affected.  severely hit.  Dorle's heart was as black as ink, and he sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked distressed, "Today is a shame for every Hohenzollern. These messengers of God actually did such things. Kill them today,  But God has been insulted after all. In order to maintain the dignity of God, starting from today, the empire will form a metropolitan church to fully supervise the church clergy. We will hang all the cultists who insult God and make the church sacred again.  "Become smooth." "Yes, kill them and purify the church." Under the instigation of thoughtful people, countless Hohenzollerns shouted loudly. Ignorant people are always tools in the hands of the rulers. They have long been unable to tell the difference.  Who is righteous and who is evil.  With one order, dozens of people were sent to the gallows. Amid the roars of the Hohenzollerns, lives were passing by one by one.  Hundreds of years later, the Germans are still reflecting on what kind of power makes these ordinary and kind-hearted Hohenzollern people do such crazy things?  Not only did they hangSome people even set fire to it, and several priests who were still alive were burned to death.  History will always leave people with many questions, and the truth has long been buried under the dust over time.  Every place and every person has a hometown complex. They think they are guarding the land where they live, and they think they are purifying their souls. But in fact, all their behaviors are like the rebirth of demons.  Dorle not only annihilated the Ark Church, but also established the Metropolitan Church. Since then, the Holy Empire has launched riots one after another. Countless Metropolitan Church soldiers have arrested a large number of church personnel. No one has counted how many people died.  Although the church was retained, it was no longer the original church. It was just a tool in the hands of the German nobles.  Of course, it is impossible for the people to understand this. They only know that Lord Dorle has exterminated a group of church bugs.  A vigorous purification campaign was launched in the Holy Empire, and the imperial army led by Zhao Yougong finally crossed the Elbe River. The Kingdom of Saxony was vast and divided into Upper Saxony and Lower Saxony. Upper Saxony included the north and south parts, of which South Saxony was  Sandwiched between the Hohenzollern and the Danube rivers.  Zhao Yougong is not interested in Southern Saxony. Isn't he asking for trouble by running to Southern Saxony?  The imperial army crossed the Elbe River and attacked Suplin. In a few days, the city of Suplin was surrounded by water.  As the core of the Kingdom of Saxony, the city of Suplin has a long history and a high wall. However, it is also the weakest defense place.  Lothair II's eastward expedition to the Istria Highlands almost emptied the troops west of the Elbe River. Now the old, weak, sick and disabled people stationed in Suplin City add up to less than 5,000 people. This is already Suplin City.  The maximum amount of troops Lin Cheng could muster.  Lothair II had a total of fourteen sons, and it is the eldest son Gamasi who now controls the voice of Suplin Castle.  Lothair's sons have different qualities, but they are unusually united at this moment. They know very well that if Suplin City cannot be saved, others may survive, but the Lothair family will definitely die without a burial place.  Gamasi had a headache. He had tried his best, but he could not find any reinforcements. The principalities that were previously attached to the Kingdom of Saxony also severed ties, and the nobles in the south also became silent.  More than a dozen letters have been sent to the Frederick family, but all of them have been thrown into the sea. Gamasi knew very well that these German nobles had given up on the Kingdom of Saxony. "Hey, these stupid nobles, do they think they can keep it by doing this?"  Have you gained strength? The ambitions of the Easterners must not stop there. These idiots still can¡¯t let go of their prejudices and keep fighting among themselves.¡± The nobles of the Holy Empire have been fighting among themselves for a long time, but at this time, they can¡¯t work together, and it¡¯s a mess.  Tomoe couldn't hold himself up the wall.  Gamasi felt that others were stupid, but in fact he was the one who was really stupid. The German nobles headed by Doerle could not easily give up the interests of Saxony, but the losses were too great.  In addition, Zhao Yougong deliberately did not attack South Saxony, which was equivalent to acquiescing to the situation at hand and everyone would not invade each other.  For their own benefit, the German nobles had no choice but to abandon Saxony. Similarly, Zhao Yougong was not so arrogant as to challenge the entire German noble system and attack Saxony. That was because Lothair had sufficient reasons to take the initiative to attack the Istria Highlands.  First, the imperial army attacked Saxony to occupy the legal system, and others could not say anything.  Looking at the Suplin City in front of me, the dome-shaped castle stands tall, as if it is connected to the sky, and there is a sense of heroism in its magnificence.  Zhao Yougong observed for a while, handed the telescope to Sanniang, and asked the generals around him, "Suplin City has high walls and thick walls. How do you think we should fight? Now that we have a chance to win, I don't want the soldiers to have any unnecessary troubles."  Casualties. "As a dog-headed strategist, Dongfang Jin naturally had to be the first to stand up. He touched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Your Highness, this battle must focus on attacking the heart. Our army will go all the way through Festa.  It can be said that the Germans stationed in Suplin City are all old, weak, sick and disabled. They are forced to concentrate in the city. How many battles can they have?  Where's the heart? If the prediction is correct, Lothair's eldest son should be in charge of Suplin. As long as we create strong pressure on Suplin City, we can use the excuse of a duel to bring out Lothair's son and kill him.  Among Lothair's sons, who will defend the city with all their heart?" Yang Zaixing curled his lips and smiled unnaturally, "Mr. Dongfang, do you think Lothair's sons are fools? They will be stupid.  He ran out of the city to fight with us? "Dueling is not uncommon in the West, especially in the era when chivalry was prevalent. There were countless duels between noble knights in order to compete for women, lives, etc.  Especially in Saxony, there is a law that clearly stipulates that in the case of the death penalty, you can choose a duel. If the duel is successful, you can be exempted from the death penalty. This law is respect for the noble knights.  Of course, not many can succeed in a duel, because there are very few invincible knights.  Dongfang Jin spent a lot of time studying Saxon customs. Saxony¡¯s tradition of advocating duels, coupled with Lothair¡¯s son being young and vigorous,?As long as it is done properly, it may not be impossible to succeed. "I don't know whether they are stupid or not, but if they don't dare to respond to a woman's challenge, then they are not men."  Dongfang Jin touched the animal skin hat, twisted his body like a bear, and looked at Hu Sanniang next to him with a smile. Sanniang frowned slightly and didn't say much.  The damage done by the Dongfang officials obviously did not end there. In the evening, the Dingguo army set up trebuchets and began to bombard Suplin City wildly. Although the effect was minimal, they could not withstand the large number of stones and the soldiers and civilians in the city were hit.  I couldn't even lift my head.  Gamasi climbed to the top of the city. Before he could take a look at the specific situation below the city, he was thrown to the ground. A stone whizzed past with a bang, splashing a cloud of dust. Gamasi gasped and his legs  He kept swaying, but luckily he was knocked down, otherwise his head would have been smashed into a meat pie.  Where did the Orientals come from with so many trebuchets? They couldn't even keep people alive.  Half an hour later, the trebuchet finally stopped, and the battered Suplin soldiers and civilians finally breathed a sigh of relief.  The Dingguo army did not attack the city, and the Suplin people also took advantage of the rare respite to make rice. Around the end of Youshi, before the meal was finished, Suplin City began to fall into madness again.  Boas is an ordinary centurion. He is almost fifty years old this year. He was already raising his grandson at home, but he was temporarily detained in the city.  Boas did not want to defend the city of Suplin. All four of his sons were recruited to the Istrian highlands. Two of them have been killed in the battle, and the lives of the other two are unknown. If he, an old man like him, dies in the battle again,  Pulin City, then there is no man in the family.  How can a family survive without a man?  A family without men will be bullied and women will suffer a tragic fate.  Boas had experienced several battles on the Elbe, and he had seen firsthand what life was like for families who had lost their men.  Without his own protection, the only grandson will become a lowly serf, and the family castle will be taken away.  Although he was sitting in the city of Suplin, Boas had a thousand and ten thousand reasons to leave. There were many people like Boas, and most of them were forced to walk to the top of the city.  The power of the Orientals has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and today they have seen the power of the trebuchet. Many people have been scared out of their courage. They feel that if they continue to guard Suplin Castle, they will definitely die.  You have already sacrificed a lot for the Kingdom of Saxony. Do you want everyone to accompany the Kingdom to destruction?  Ordinary Saxons don't think too much. They don't have that big ambition, they just want to live a stable life. If the Orientals are not here to kill Saxony, then why do they have to fight to the death at Suplin Castle?  This is the homeland of every Saxon. It is also because of the Saxons that this place can be called our homeland. Without people, what is the meaning of a land stained red with blood?  Huh, suddenly someone shouted loudly, and then a temporary wooden house burned, and the surrounding area was reflected red.  "The Oriental's trebuchet is coming again, everyone, hide quickly." Boas was an experienced man. He hurriedly called on the soldiers who were still holding their jobs to hide. The Oriental was really cunning, deliberately letting everyone eat.  , and started smashing it again when I was halfway through eating.  As Boas feared, this round of attacks involved not only stones but also kerosene. Many young Saxons lacked experience and suffered heavy casualties.  From this moment on, the intermittent attacks by the trebuchets never stopped. Fires broke out everywhere outside Suplin. The soldiers and civilians in the city not only had to prevent being hit, but also were busy putting out the fire. Morale also plummeted.  They kept working until dawn the next day, and many Suplin people couldn't sleep a wink.
