Late at night. Gottfried and Ella fell asleep one after another, and Gregory opened his eyes in the dark night.

Without warning, his body disappeared from the cage. The rope that tied him didn't realize what was happening. It froze in the air for a moment before landing slowly.

The bandit leader was whispering to a mysterious visitor in the room.

"Duke Otto hopes that you can attack this village within a week."

The sound of a pile of coins being dumped onto the table filled the room.

"This is the thank you gift he asked me to bring. There will be more after the event is completed."

Gregory's body appeared outside the room. His eyes shone coldly in the dark night.

He has been preaching in the Alemannic Federation for two years and is very aware of the current situation in the Alemannic Federation. In the past few decades, due to attacks by pirates and bandits, more and more yeoman farmers in the Alemannic Federation chose to attach themselves to the nobles for protection, thus becoming serfs on the noble estates.

In the past two years, the activities of pirates have decreased somewhat, while the activities of bandits have increased. As a powerful lord, Duke Otto has not been able to eliminate the bandits here. Others thought it was because of the steep terrain and ferocious bandits, but they did not expect that there was such an inside story.

He did not enter the house immediately. It wasn't until the messenger sneaked down the mountain that he quietly appeared in front of the bandit leader.

The bandit leader was putting the gold coins covering the table into his purse. Turning around unintentionally, he saw Gregory standing behind him, and he was so frightened that he threw away all the money he had packed. However, he seemed to have gone through a lot of training. He just swallowed, calmed down, and said with a forced smile: "Looking at the way you behaved today, I know you are not an ordinary person. I'm afraid your background is better than what you say. Is that 'eldest lady' even older? What, what do you want to say to me?"

"I only come here for one thing, and that is to bring you who are lost back to the embrace of the only true God."

"The only true god? Are you talking about the god from the Tianfang Empire?" The bandit spat on the ground, "Who has lost his mind and ignored that thing?"

"However, you obviously have many believers among your men. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come here from Brizaya Village."

Gregory's eyes blinked slowly, and his eyelids fell together, as if he was putting down and lifting something weighing a thousand kilograms. He stretched out a hand to the bandit leader and said, "Come here, for the sake of your life now and for the peace of mind after death."

"Life at this moment? You mean I will die here?"

The bandit leader laughed nonchalantly, then suddenly opened his eyes and jumped over the table in the room.

"Even if you are a grand duke, I am not afraid! Look at the endless mountains outside. As long as I take my brothers to a different place to hide, who can find us? Besides, my brothers are not eating As for those who work, even if an army really comes, just kill them and retreat."

"Endless mountains?"

Gregory turned his face towards the mountain outside the door and spread his hands to both sides. The whole room suddenly shook, knocking the bandit leader to the ground. The bandit leader managed to get up, but the shaking became more and more violent.

Valley Department

"What's going on? Could it be an earthquake..."

Before the bandit leader finished speaking, a huge wave crashed over the ground outside the door, as if it was going to crush the whole house! The bandit leader felt his vision go dark, and then he appeared on another hill outside the house.

The endless mountains outside the house have now turned into a sea with huge waves. But this does not mean that the mountain has disappeared. There is not a single part of it missing. It is just that the entire mountain has been uprooted and thrown into the sea!

Grigory faced the huge waves and the sea and asked:

"Come and see, is the mountain big?"

The mountains were beaten by huge waves and gradually sank in the sea. The vast mountains seemed so insignificant on the seemingly endless sea. Even if the sea swallows it, it won't leave any traces.

Gregory looked back at the bandit leader. He was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

"You are starting to be afraid of the sea, aren't you? But you have to know that even this sea is only an insignificant part of God's creation."

Before the mountain completely sank, Gregory clapped his hands. As a result, the mountain returned to its original position, and he and the bandit leader came to another hill thousands of miles away.

Continuous firelight flashed under the mountain, extending from the eastern skyline to the western skyline, gently and gracefully, like a huge fire snake wrapping around the world.

"This kind of quantity is enough to open roads through mountains and fill rivers when encountering water. Look, this is an army. How long can your hills hold them back?"

The bandit leader was in shock and couldn't say anything. So Gregory waved his hand towards the fire snake, "I'll move your brothers here together and give you a chance to surprise them. Do you want to try it?"

The bandit leader came to his senses, and while Gregory was looking down the mountain, he suddenly pulled out his big knife and slashed at Gregory. But halfway through the swing, the knife disappeared inexplicably. He was stunned for a moment while holding the sword, and hurriedly stopped his hand, trying to pull out the spare dagger from his waist, but he touched around his waist and found nothing. When he looked down, he found that his clothes had been completely stripped off at some point, leaving only a pair of underpants on his body.

Only then did Gregory slowly turn back. His gaze was so sharp that it seemed like it could penetrate the bandit leader's body directly.

The bandit leader was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Gregory and begged for mercy.

Gregory sighed: "You are afraid that I will end your short life, but are you not afraid of enduring eternal torture in the infinite time after death?"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands again. This time, the two of them came to a river. A willow tree grows by the river, and the sparkling river water passes quietly through the shade of the tree.

Gregory picked up a broken bowl from the ground, left the bandit leader behind, and went to the river to scoop water alone. The bandit leader took this opportunity and ran away. He ran with all his strength until he could run no longer. He thought he had finally gotten rid of Gregory and suddenly lay on the ground. But what appeared above him was not the sky, but Gregory's face.

He was so frightened that he sat up suddenly. The willow tree was still next to him, and the river was still under the willow tree. The solid land is covered with soft grass.

Gregory was holding water in one hand and an unlit oil lamp in the other. As if nothing had happened, he brought the water to the bandit leader and asked, "Is this water clear?"
