Chapter 249 Promotion to Commander(1/3)
When Stefank found Alison, the latter was sitting in the carriage in a daze.
"Have you seen that big shot just now?" Stefank asked, approaching the car window and raising his chin.
"She can fly." Alison tilted her head and looked at Stefank, "Is she an angel from your church?"
"No, of course not." Stefank shook his head quickly and snorted, "She is from the Empire."
Alison frowned, "Then what are you proud of?"
"I" Stephenk's face turned red when he heard this. He coughed and looked to his left and right, "That adult wants to see you."
Alison nodded slightly and glanced at him with disdain, "A normal bishop wouldn't be like this."
"What do you mean?" Stefank frowned.
"You're flattering." Alison said as she got off the pumpkin cart and walked towards the commander's tent.
Stephenk's expression was startled when he heard this. He looked at Alison's back and shouted, "Viscount Alison, you are very strong, but I don't believe that you will never bow your head to outsiders."
"I don't preach, so it doesn't matter." Alison waved her hand in the distance.
In the commander's tent, Martha, who was dressed in green and wearing shiny leather boots, was drinking something from a black bottle. When Alison arrived, she only raised her head slightly, and then fiercely waved her fist at the commander tied next to her.
"Bang~"
The unexpected sound and explosion of flesh and blood stunned Alison, who was about to say hello. The commander's leg was still where he was hit, and the rest of his body was sprayed in front of her.
‘Is this a show of force?’
The corner of Alison's mouth twitched, but she still walked forward. Tentacles protruded from the ground behind her, sweeping like a wiper, swallowing up the red meat scattered on the ground, or other parts of the body.
She looked at the girl in fine clothing and the commanders standing on both sides of her. She found that because they were too close, there were still some skull fragments or scalps on their armor.
His expression was one of despair.
"Hello, I heard you were looking for me." Alison bowed slightly to the Imperial man, "What can I do for you?"
Martha looked Allison up and down, "What's your impression of the Empire?"
"It is a very developed country. If I have the opportunity in the future and I have money, I may donate to two vocational schools." Alison said with a smile.
"Very good." Martha was very satisfied with Alison's answer and raised the corner of her mouth, "We just lost a good commander, and now I order you to become one of our commanders."
"I'm honored." Alison smiled.
Martha nodded, and then waved for everyone to sit down. She stretched out a wooden stick and pointed it at the map and preached to everyone, "The robbers from the Demon Country attacked the Kingdom, and the Kingdom fought back, but we must first know how to attack us.
Who are the enemies? They are bandits from the Demon Kingdom, and they control the area in this area."
Everyone nodded slightly. The place near the edge was the wilderness ruled by the Church of Abundance.
"The rich mineral deposits and some rare resources here are enough for the empire to exploit for a hundred years."
Martha looked at everyone and smiled and said, "So whether it is Adili Consul or the empire, they hope to end it after punishing the Church of Abundance, the sinner who attacked the border city of the kingdom."
"After all, war is just a means, and mining can bring us benefits."
A group of commanders nodded when they heard this, fearing that this inhumane Empire would get the handle. Just now, their unlucky companion was just a little dissatisfied with her air landing, and suggested that the Kingdom's affairs should be managed by the Kingdom's people, but the result was shattered.
One place.
Alison naturally echoed what she said. After all, the other party was being reasonable, but she didn't understand some parts.
"Besides the Church of Abundance, do we have any other enemies?" Alison asked.
"Here in the Kingdom, we defeated the cult and replaced them in digging and mining here. But in the eyes of the masters in the Demon Kingdom, we killed the bandits who occupied their wilderness, and then became another group of bandits who occupied their wilderness.
."
Martha looked at the crowd and said, "They will definitely not be satisfied."
"Does that mean those masters will take action against us?" Alison asked.
"It's very possible. What the above means is that we need to exercise restraint. After all, we have to invest a lot in fighting the demon kingdom's nobles, and it will also waste time." Martha looked at everyone, "If there is a conflict, we will take action again. Let's think about it again.
Negotiations become passive.”
'The empire actually wants to negotiate. This master from the demon kingdom sounds very powerful.'
After listening to Martha's words, Alison thought to herself, and the other commanders were also thoughtful. Everyone thought that this ruthless imperial girl would block people and kill people.
But now it seems that she is just a professional who succumbed to the laws of the empire.
For a time, the commanders' fear of her decreased a lot.
"In short, no one can damage the interests of the empire." Martha looked at the people below and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Understood." Alison and everyone agreed immediately.
"Very good." Martha was very satisfied after receiving the answer. She looked at everyone with a pleased smile, "Now let's talk about revenge for Commander Ryan. According to Bishop Stephenk, the man who was captured in our hands
The emerging churches of mankind are in great trouble, and their pope is very powerful. Do any of you want to take the initiative?"
The commanders all lowered their heads when they heard this. The Pope, who could even withstand divine punishment, lamented that they had no confidence.
Seeing that everyone was timid, Martha turned her attention to Alison and asked, "Commander Alison, do you have any ideas?"
"Commander Martha, I am only responsible for attacking the priests of the Church of Abundance. As for the Pope." Alison looked at Martha, "Your Excellency, you should send someone else."
"Is that so?" Martha nodded slightly after hearing this, "It's already very hard to attack the Abundance Priest. I can't let you do everything."
"Thank you for your understanding, Commander." Alison felt relieved after hearing this. She couldn't hit someone who respected her at all times.
"Let's take a break today. Let's first hold the farewell ceremony of Commander Ryan." Martha nodded, "As for the subsequent plans, we will discuss it tomorrow."
Chapter 28.1 The saint has a holy scripture, which can be used both in the military and on the ground.
In the evening, under the arrangement of the new commander, the entire team participated in a mass about Grand Commander Lane hosted by Stephenk.
Because Ryan's head was missing, Commander Martha specially carved a wooden head for him to show her importance, and promised at the funeral that a city named after Ryan would be built here to highlight his contribution.
"God said that we are like rootless trees. Once we know God and believe in God, we will have support."
"God said that those who have faith will enter the Kingdom of God, but those who have no faith will have their souls fed nothingness."
"Ryan was a devout Creationist during his lifetime. He was brave, kind and fearless."
The mass lasted until very late. This was Stephenk's first mass in the Demon Country. It was very solemn. Alison, who attended the funeral, could not imagine that his mass was so good. He said the words for two hours and there were no words at all.
Repeated.
But under the new commander's arrangements, no one complained.
Anyone who complains that the ceremony is cumbersome will have no ceremony, just like the commander who gave way to Alison, who was hastily buried.
"And his soul will always be in heaven!"
There was another climax of prayer. Alison, who was standing in the crowd and was drowsy, was awakened by the cadence of the voice. She frowned and wanted to see if their new commander could stand, but she found that in front of her
That shadow is gone.
"Oh, I hate people like this. They propose a grand farewell ceremony, but instead go back to the camp to sleep." Alison muttered as she watched Martha disappear.
"Yeah, that woman is wearing an eyepatch, she looks like a lazy woman." McKenna, who was beside Alison, nodded her head and agreed, "We should curse them."
"Ahem~" Edel, who was standing aside and had been paying attention to Alison, moved over and whispered to Alison, "Ms. Martha didn't rest. She led Samantha out."
After hearing this, Alison turned to look at the young man approaching her, "What are two women doing out so late? The night in the Demon Country is very dangerous."
"Uh" Edel didn't know how to answer after hearing this. After a while, he whispered, "I feel that the place where Lady Martha is is much safer than this entire camp."
"That's right." Alison nodded and asked in a low voice, "Isn't that woman your secret guard? Can she be transferred as well?"
"According to the law, it is allowed under special circumstances." Edel shrugged.
"Then what did they do?" Alison asked.
"This." Edel hesitated upon hearing this.
"You won't tell?" Alison narrowed her eyes at him, "Do you believe I can turn you into a stone or a frog right now?"
"Miss Alison, don't be ridiculous, you are not a witch." Edel smiled when he heard this, and then he felt that several women around him were looking at him.
"Well, the weather seems a bit cold." Edel shrank his neck subconsciously. He looked at Alison and said nervously, "You're not really a witch, are you?"
"How come, you didn't see that I am surrounded by Templars?" Alison's sharp eyes closed when she heard this, and she said with a smile, "I am actually a magician."
"Huh~ I was scared to death." Edel patted his chest and shook his head with a smile, and Alison also laughed.
On the stage, Stephank, who was saying mass with great passion, turned his eyes and looked at the flirting Alison and the imperial surveyor below from time to time. He was very angry. This was the first time he held a ceremony since he came to the Demon Kingdom.
A big mass, but the witch made trouble for herself.
Why wasn't she killed by that woman when she was summoned?
Stefank was very angry and felt insulted.
So much so that he lost interest and increased his speed a lot during the following mass, ending the ceremony two hours earlier than expected.
"This is butter bread. Do you know what butter is? It's extracted from milk."
After the ceremony, on the way back to the station, Edel took a small piece of bread and handed it to Alison beside him, "There is chocolate filling in it. You must not know about chocolate. It is a plant called cocoa in the southern part of the empire."
