On July 5, Archbishop Henry ordered the blockade of the railways around the royal capital, prohibiting trains from entering the areas surrounding the royal capital, and began emergency preparations for war.
Now that all cities and towns have fallen under the control of the Church of Truth, the railway has lost its role in Petersburg. There will no longer be supplies and soldiers transported. If the railway is not blocked, those who come to Petersburg by train can only is the enemy.
Petersburg entered a state of total lockdown, and all food, medicine, and spirits in shops and taverns were requisitioned and sent to the army.
The news soon reached Mosk.
After learning that Archbishop Henry had begun emergency preparations for war and did not choose to send troops to suppress the rebels in various places, Mavey immediately entered the Kremlin next door and found Katerina.
"Your Highness, things in Petersburg..."
"I already know."
In the study room that had been tidied up, Katerina handed a secret letter to Mavey: "There is news from Bodelinov. Petersburg has entered a state of wartime alert, and the secret police are arresting the truth in the city. Church member, Seliger... was secretly executed."
Hearing the news of Seliger's secret execution, Ma Wei stopped breathing for a moment. Of course he remembered Seliger, one of his most proud students. He was not only brave and careful, but also quick-thinking and could often draw inferences from one instance to another. Put forward your own understanding of the truth to the point.
He was also one of the first monks taught by Mavi. He was born in the same group as Kovalev, Rusov and others. He followed Katerina to the battlefield and participated in the Battle of Chelyabinsk and the Battle of Ufa. ...
Among Mosk's troops who took the lead in attacking, there was Seliger.
Ma Wei sent him to Petersburg to be responsible for the evangelism work in the areas around the royal capital. This was a very dangerous task. It was impossible to operate under the nose of the Wisdom Cult without extraordinary ability.
Even though there were many dangers and knowing that the Central Holy See could not provide much help, Seliger resolutely accepted the task and went to Petersburg alone to establish a branch church. While collecting intelligence and information, he continued to develop believers...
He was afraid that his magic would be leaked, so he didn't even have a magic ring.
After the secret police was established, they immediately searched for the reactionary forces around the royal capital. In order to better preach and protect the believers, Seliger took the initiative to bear the charge of setting fire to the noble manor.
In prison, he persuaded countless prisoners with his eloquence. Such a capable and loyal believer should have been the mainstay of the Church of Truth, but he was executed.
He was hanged on the execution ground by the Wisdom God Cult.
Seliger was not born as a commoner. His father was the hero of the kingdom who defeated Emperor Bonaparte decades ago. He was an elite member of the kingdom, with a good life and honor.
He joined the Church of Truth not for bread or his own interests, but for the future, future, and ideals of the Romanov Kingdom.
After learning that Seliger was arrested and imprisoned, Mawei thought about rescuing him and asked Fat Orange to collect information about the prison, and finally discovered...
The prison where Seliger was imprisoned looked like an ordinary prison, but in fact many monks from the Wisdom Cult were ambushed. Saint Constance, brought by Archbishop Henry, lived in the prison.
This is a rescue that is simply impossible to achieve. Anatole, the God of Wisdom, who can rely on the arrival of the Saint at any time... is not an opponent that the Church of Truth can currently defeat.
The news of Seliger's death made Mavi's heart bleed.
"It was my incompetence that killed him."
"You are insulting him, Father."
Katerina looked at the self-pitying Mavey and said: "The moment before the noose was tightened, he was still loudly calling on the people to believe in the truth. Although the noose took his life, it could not kill him. He is a A staunch idealist, his sacrifice was willing."
"His name will be remembered by the world." Ma Wei took a deep breath: "Your Highness, I think the time for the decisive battle has arrived."
Archbishop Henry, who did not choose to suppress the rebels in various places, ordered emergency preparations for war. The only target was Mosk. This was the only and last chance for the Wisdom God to make a comeback.
As long as we can capture Mosk, kill Mavi Enders, and destroy the central Holy See and core center of the Church of Truth...
The rebel armies in various places will lose their leaders and become a group of headless flies. The final result must be that they will be defeated one by one by the Wisdom God Cult.
"Father, they are coming for you." Katerina looked at Mavie with interest with a slight smile on her lips: "Are you scared?"
"afraid of what?"
"die."
"I'm afraid, but it's my duty." Ma Wei said expressionlessly: "Since you have chosen this path, you must be aware of it."
"I'm afraid too." Katerina suddenly said: "But what I'm afraid of is not death, but the inability to realize my long-cherished wish to revitalize the Romanov Kingdom. This decisive battle... we must win."
"Yes, we have to win."
"I have ordered the arsenal in Tula to step up the production of the 'Edward I' rifle. Onufri and other generals who went out to block the railway are also on their way back to Mosk. Wartime supplies are drawn from various places and given priority to the army... .Father, I can only guarantee that there will be no problems on the Kingdom side. On the Church side, it depends on you."
The decisive battle that Archbishop Henry wants to initiate is not only a decisive battle between the aristocracy and the revolutionaries, but more importantly, a battle between the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom.
In other words, before the modern magical war envisaged by Ma Wei is realized, the strength of the church will determine the trend of the war.
Katerina's defeat is not terrible, but what is terrible... is that the Church of Truth cannot defeat the Wisdom Religion.
After learning that Archbishop Henry had begun emergency preparations for war, Mavey also issued an encyclical, ordering monks from all over the country to quickly return to Mosk to participate in the next decisive battle.
The civil strife in the Romanov Kingdom has always been the focus of other kingdoms. The Kingdom of Frederick, the Kingdom of Windsor, and the Barbarossa Empire are all watching the show, and the results of the decisive battle will be reported back to the country as soon as possible.
If the Church of Truth and the Cult of Wisdom fight to the death, then we should pay attention to the few ferocious tigers hiding in the jungle behind us.
No one knows whether these kingdoms will take advantage of the situation.
Precisely in order to prevent other kingdoms from taking advantage of the chaos to invade, the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom are frantically accumulating strength, recruiting troops, and improving themselves as much as possible, hoping to defeat their opponents with a crushing attitude...
"Didn't Yunia come with you?" Katerina asked: "Didn't she always follow you?"
"She is practicing magic. If Anatole, the God of Wisdom, comes, only she can block it, so she needs to practice more."
"How long will it take for her to become a god?"
"Actually, it's enough." Ma Wei said: "This morning, she told me that she has touched the threshold of becoming a god, and can ascend to the divine level at any time and become a true god."
Katerina asked doubtfully: "Then what are you waiting for? If you can become a god, why not just become a god?"
"Because once she becomes a god, she will open the shackles that bind the gods, and the descending gods will not give her time to grow..." Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "So before the decisive battle begins, I must try my best to Increase the number of believers and let her suppress her strength to ensure that when she becomes a god, she will have enough power to fight against other gods."
Katerina understood clearly: "In other words, we try not to initiate a decisive battle, but wait for the reaction from the Wisdom God Religion?"
"Yes, the Wisdom Cult is also preparing for war. Their monks and priests are gathering in Petersburg. It will take a few days to prepare properly. The same goes for us."
Ma Wei thought deeply and said: "In the past few days, I will try to improve Yunia's strength as much as possible to prepare for the decisive battle."
"I heard that you have been tracking members of the Secret Church recently. Are you planning to devour their gods?"
"With this consideration in mind, in addition to these, I also plan to search for the lost Kingdom of God to see if I can get their help..."
Katerina frowned slightly: "With the help of the power of the gods of the old era, aren't you afraid of backlash?"
"If we can't defeat the Wisdom Cult, where will the future be?"
Ma Wei smiled helplessly: "Only when you defeat the enemy can you think about the future."
