"This is really good news, Father Marvey."
In the camp, Katerina's blue eyes glanced behind Ma Wei, where 50 men in monk uniforms stood.
In time for the departure date, Ma Wei finally trained a group of reliable monks. Each of them distributed the bard's chant and the thunder spear ring. After introducing the power and usage, he brought them to Katerina.
In fact, there were 60 monks in the first batch, but Ma Wei was worried that there would be more people to use later, so he left 10 in case of emergencies.
"I provide all the salary and remuneration for these people." Katerina said: "They can also be promoted based on military merit like others. How about this kind of treatment?"
"I have no objection." Ma Wei nodded. As for the salary issue, he had already discussed it with the monks before coming. According to the salary standard in the communication, 11 shillings and 6 pence per day, converted into the currency of the Romanov Kingdom. Settlement is treated equally.
"Very good, we will set off tomorrow. They can go back to say goodbye to their families tonight and gather at the military camp before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"We have already said goodbye, let them stay and get familiar with the atmosphere in the army."
"That's fine."
Katerina readily agreed, waving her hand for Onufri to lead the monks around and inform the army of order. In her eyes, monks are also soldiers and must obey orders. Military orders are more important than anything else.
After giving the instructions, Katerina looked at Mavi, who was standing still, and asked, "Do you have anything else?"
"A few more things, indeed."
"Let's talk inside."
Entering the temporary command post, the personal maid Marusha brought hot tea. After she left, only Katerina and Mavey were left in the room.
"Tell me, Father, is there anything else?"
"The first thing is about Finn Drost...."
Ma Wei told what happened in the past few days and the intelligence he had collected one by one. As she listened, Katerina narrowed her eyes, and a dangerous light flashed in her eyes.
"The United States of Citi has reached an agreement with the Duke of Tbilisi. They want to use the power of the boyar nobles to sell local products...seeking death."
Katerina sneered: "I can only allow the soldiers to smoke tobacco and drink spirits, and will never give them cocaine. Although some countries will mix these addictive substances in order to boost morale and weaken soldiers' fear of war. into chocolate, but I can’t.”
"How can an army win a war if it doesn't even have the courage to face the enemy?"
"The morale problem originates from the commander. I believe that any good commander can inspire the fighting spirit of soldiers to the greatest extent. Their encouragement is more effective than cocaine. This kind of thing that corrodes the mind must not be popularized."
"I think so too." Ma Wei agreed: "So I entrusted the fourth prince Arthur to solve the threat of the United States of Citi. He is also an excellent leader like you. There will be no problem in leaving this matter to him. .”
Katerina did not comment, picked up the tea cup, blew the hot air off it, and said pointedly: "Father, I actually have a solution, why do you ask my cousin?"
"Because he is also the person chosen by the Church of Truth." Ma Wei said without hesitation: "Just like the Romanov Kingdom, I want to start a revolution in the Windsor Kingdom."
"But they are different from the Romanov Kingdom. They have their own Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, which cannot be assimilated and cannot be understood."
"Even so, I'm still going to give it a try."
"Give it a try..." Katerina chuckled: "Okay, let's give it a try, but I will be on standby and deploy heavy troops at the border. Once the situation goes wrong, I will launch an attack. This is to protect you, Father. safety."
"Let's talk about this later. How are your weapons going, Your Highness?"
Ma Wei asked about the Edward 1. As a repeating rifle across the ages, the Edward 1 can definitely change the situation of the war, and he was convinced of this.
to some extent....
The importance of Edward 1 is even greater than that of the church's priests and monks.
When talking about weapons, Katerina's face became much more serious: "In the past few days, the Yinxim Arsenal has been working day and night and has produced 500 repeating rifles. In the future, weapons will continue to be sent to the front line and equipped for me. The soldiers under him... I hope you, Father, will send someone to keep an eye on the Inshim Arsenal. Although there is no doubt about Rashkov's loyalty, it is hard to say about his workers."
"No problem, Fat Orange can take charge of this matter. Maomao is the best monitor."
"Wait for my good news, Father." Katerina looked at the sky outside the window and said firmly: "I must revitalize the Romanov Kingdom."
"Those military nobles who have taken refuge with us... Your Highness, what do you plan to do with them in the future?"
"There are no nobles in the Romanov Kingdom, and reforms that do not change the medicine will fail."
"....Understood."
“Will the Church of Truth support me?”
"I will support you, Your Highness."
"enough."
....................................................
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when Mavey returned to Znamensky Cathedral, he did not see Yunia, and the lunch on the table was not touched. This was the first time. Even if he got up late in the past, Yunia never missed lunch, and her appetite was always good.
Mawei came upstairs, pushed open Yunia's door, and found that she was still lying on the bed, with the quilt covering her head, nestled in the bed like a steamed bun.
Xiao Hei was lying on the bedside, yawning and looking like he hadn't woken up.
"Unia? Yunia?"
Ma Wei opened a corner of the quilt and saw Yunia hugging her legs, sleeping in a very strange way. After shouting several times, she opened her eyes blankly and looked at Ma Wei in a daze. It took a long time to regain her composure. : "Dad, is it time to eat?"
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Sleepy...a little bit sleepy..."
Frowning his brows, Ma Wei became even more strange. He touched Yunia's forehead and found that she didn't have a fever, and it didn't look like she was sick...
He woke up the snoring Xiao Hei next to him and asked him to call Edward and Salina. As extraordinary beings and former goddesses, they should know something.
Edward was the first to walk into the bedroom, and not long after, Salina, who was busy outside, came back.
"Yuniya has been unable to wake up. Do you know the reason?"
"Maybe it's because there are too many believers..." Selina said with some uncertainty: "It seems that Yunia's current body cannot support such a huge power. We have recruited too many believers recently."
"I can also feel the huge power stored in Yunia's body." Edward said: "Ever since we arrived in Tyumen City, her power has been growing rapidly. When did she become unable to wake up?"
Ma Wei thought for a while. When she first came to Tyumen City, Yunia was normal, able to eat and drink, and had no problems at all. Strange time points began to appear, which happened to be when the Truth Church began to distribute bread and recruit believers on a large scale. a few days.
"Could too much power also affect the gods?" Ma Wei asked doubtfully: "It doesn't matter if it's too much or too little?"
"Yunia has not awakened, she is still looking for her own path."
Salina touched Yunia's forehead, and the cold touch made her feel much more comfortable: "Father Mavey, I think you should help Yunia."
"How to help?"
Selina raised her head and said word by word: "Look for other small churches and devour their gods."
