Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

The Church of Light has three major forces. The Son of God, who represents "man", and the Knights of the Holy Sword who manage them are the "swords" in the hands of the church, responsible for conquering all directions; the Knights of Light, who represent the heavy "earth", are the Pope's confidants, responsible for guarding the "foundation" of the Church of Light; and the Inquisition, who represent "heaven", brings down divine punishment on behalf of the gods.

Among them, the Knights of Light have the highest threshold for joining. They say they are the personal soldiers guarding the Pope, but in fact they are a group of descendants of church leaders. It is hard to say how strong their combat power is, but as a community of interests, they are indeed quite credible.

However, any organization that relies on interests cannot be composed only of these wealthy drunkards - there must still be workers doing real work. Otherwise, the Pope should worry that someone will easily pass through the defense of those fat and bloated descendants of the high-level officials in the middle of the night, and drive straight into his bedroom without stopping to take his head.

Personnel loss is also a troublesome matter. If there are only a group of guys with strong backgrounds, who will use their lives and flesh and blood to fill those deadly battles when they are in danger? You can't let the Pope do it himself, right?

So, over time, the Knights of Light actually split into two parts. The powerful officials at the top are all children of aristocratic families, while the cannon fodder at the bottom come from believers with pure faith.

——What believers' faith can be purer than the guy who destroyed his own city-state for the Church of Light?

Mayor Delmont's grandson, Bronte, who had just turned thirteen, was detained by the Church of Light as a hostage and cannon fodder. He was sent to the Knights of Light for training and was stationed near the ruins of the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation.

Acquiring the Orichalcum steel veins of the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation is a top secret in the Church of Light. The whole incident was ordered by the God of Light and handled by the Pope himself, and the people responsible for guarding these veins were naturally the gods and the Pope's own soldiers - the Knights of Light.

After the disaster, the Knights of Light absorbed many devout believers from the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation and their descendants.

First, the Knights of Light needed a lot of cannon fodder; second, most of the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation had fallen into illusions. Whether it was for garrisoning, mining in illusions, or purifying illusions in the later period, the Knights of Light needed a large number of people familiar with the terrain - who is more familiar with this land than the residents who were born and raised here?

Third, it was to contain the survivors who migrated to various parts of the theocracy, with hostages in hand, so that they would not have any thoughts that they should not have.

The original Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation was composed of five towns located near the Brown Mountains and scattered villages around them. The three larger towns were Mont Blanc Town of the Mont Blanc family, Shanwei Town managed by Mayor Delmont Desmond, and Shanfu Town managed by the Elmond family to which Ai Xu belonged. Surrounded by the three towns in the center was the main city of the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation.

——The surname Mont Blanc originally meant "Brown Mountain".

The Montblanc family also controls several of the largest Orichalcum steel veins in the Brown Mountains. In comparison, the minerals in Shanfu Town, which Elmond manages, can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Shanwei Town, located at the end of the Brown Mountains, does not have a single mineral vein. The only crop that is produced is chestnuts, which are endless and sweet chestnuts all over the mountains.

In this disaster, the Montblanc Town, which was the negotiation site, the neighboring Shanfu Town, and the federal main city surrounded by them were completely trapped in the illusion. Only Shanwei Town, which was the farthest away and located at the end of the Brown Mountains, was preserved.

As a result, Shanwei Town became the undisputed resident of the Knights of Light.

Bronte spent a very ridiculous time there.

He watched the people he knew were half-friendly and half-forcefully moved out of the town by the Church of Light; he watched his grandfather take away other family members and most of the family's property, leaving only the part that belonged to him; he watched many unfamiliar and vulgar guys move into his home, and he watched his deceased grandmother's beloved carved dining table being made filthy and tattered by a group of burly men...

He watched those people invade his home, take away everything he had, and drive him to live in a small cellar... Every day before dawn, he was pulled out for training, doing the dirtiest, hardest and most tiring work, and from time to time he was used as a prop for fun and beaten up.

The young master was inexplicably abandoned by his family, his property was taken away, and he became the lowest cannon fodder soldier, and his treatment was almost the same as that of a slave.

Bronte wanted to write a letter to his family and cry to his grandfather about his experience, but he didn't know where his family had moved to, and he also found that the Knights of Light did not intend to let him leave Shanwei Town.

Bronte lived a miserable life there.

He was barely trained to become a low-level knight, became a low-level extraordinary person, and married an ugly woman who was also abandoned by her family here - she became the head cook in the camp of the Knights of Light in Shanwei Town.

Bronte passed on all his life's resentment and suffering to his son. When he was a child, he looked forward to his grandfather bringing his family back to save him day and night, but later this expectation turned into disappointment and hatred. He hated his relatives who abandoned him, hated his grandfather who took away his wealthy life, and hated the Knights of Light who robbed him of his property. He hated everyone he could hate, but he often talked about his brother Domon who always gave him cake when he was a child.

Bronte ate hairy chestnuts all his life, but never ate the sweet snow peak chestnut cake of the past.

Their family was so poor that they couldn't even afford sugar. They only had endless chestnuts picked up from the mountains, powdery, sweet, rotten, shriveled...Eating them made their stomachs sour.

In his long life, Bronte only had thirteen years of good life, then he spent five years looking forward to the return of his family, spent fifty years hating, and used all the rest of his life to retaliate against those he hated and hurt him.

He realized that the one who abandoned him and made him fall from a rich kid to a low-class cannon fodder was his grandfather who betrayed everyone and ran away without a trace, taking his other descendants to enjoy a good life somewhere unknown.

He also realized that the fall of the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation was not a normal natural disaster, and the Knights of Light stationed here were not good people who came to save them.
