The villain queen is eavesdropping on my inner thoughts and she won't let me lie down?

Protect this world?

Pope Louis pondered for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

For a ruler in his position, it is hard to say whether everything he does is good or evil. Protecting this world is also to gain more faith power for the gods, not so pure "protection".

However, an invader confidently questioned whether he had protected this world. What kind of thing is this?

So for a moment he couldn't figure out whether the enemy general's words were a trap, and he didn't answer immediately. Instead, another captive next to him, an emotional young man, answered loudly:

"If we don't protect our own world, how can we appear here?"

His name is Hard Pandit, Pope Louis's younger brother, and the deputy head of the Holy See Knights.

But unlike his brother, the manager, he is a true paladin who keeps the creeds of protection, glory, mercy, etc. in mind and always rushes to the front line of battle.

After failing to fight with the virtual god of magic of the empire, he chose to commit suicide in despair, but because his physique brought him a strong self-healing ability, he had no strength to finish himself off later, and his suicide failed.

Then he was rescued by the imperial medical soldiers. He had no chance to commit suicide again, and it was a bit embarrassing.

After all, suicide is always a product of emotions. Most suicides will regret it halfway through. Many people who die once and are rescued will live a normal life.

There is a saying that the real way to test the determination to commit suicide is to refuse food and starve yourself to death.

The process is long enough, there is a chance to regret. If you can resist continuous hunger and don't eat, then you really give up hope.

For example, a knight with a super high physique like Hader can probably resist hunger for a long time, right?

At this moment, as one of the high-ranking members of the Church of the God of War in this world, he was also taken to the Queen of Eternal Night, but in fact his brain was relatively blank and he didn't think about anything.

As a result, he suddenly heard the Queen of Eternal Night's question and his emotions exploded.

He could accept failure, but he couldn't accept being accused by the invaders that they had not protected their own world.

They really tried their best. They touched the edge of the imperial battle formation under the artillery fire and kept watching their comrades fall one after another. He knew very well how hard everyone worked.

But what can we do? We can't match them in equipment or personal strength. The enemy's headquarters is in the fortress in the sky. It's useless to look at them. There's no chance to make a surprise attack.

In fact, the Queen of Eternal Night was very disappointed that the enemy didn't make any move to trouble her.

She used to be the biggest trump card and turning point in the war of the empire. Of course, it's still one of the trump cards now, but the enemy is not strong enough, so she doesn't have a chance to play...

Because among the many trump cards, she is the most stable one, and her power has been fully verified. Before all other trump cards are forced out, it's impossible for her to take action.

The soldiers of the empire all think that it was His Majesty who protected everyone before. Now everyone's strength has improved and their combat effectiveness has increased. Please let us protect His Majesty.

In response, the Queen of Eternal Night can only say, "You are not the queen, how can you know the joy of the queen?"

I don't need your protection. I want to go fry fish!

Had didn't know that it was because they didn't have the opportunity to sneak attack the Eternal Night that they avoided the greatest despair in their lives. Now they can still discuss good and evil with the elegant and beautiful woman in front of them.

The Queen of Eternal Night looked at the Paladin who was young but still had a youthful look on his face. She could tell at a glance that he was probably a single-celled person who only knew how to fight.

There are many such people in the empire and all over the world. They used to be fools and cannon fodder that were easily driven.

"With your personality and intelligence, you can live to this level. You should be thankful that you have a good brother."

The Queen of Eternal Night responded to Had with a smile, "You should be more patient and listen to how your brother answers my questions."

Louis's face suddenly became more and more strange. He took out the righteousness that he usually put in front of his believers: "You evil woman, don't provoke the relationship between our brothers. Kill or cut me up and give me a quick death!"

"Before the next step, don't you want to face my problem?" The Queen of Eternal Night took a step forward.

Louis suddenly felt that many of his colleagues in the church looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were wondering about his hesitation on this issue, so he could only say loudly:

"I... of course I am protecting the world I live in. Since the establishment of the Church of the God of War, it has eliminated invaders from other dimensions countless times and protected believers to live and work in peace and contentment. This is an unquestionable achievement."

"In the past three hundred years, your world has encountered fourteen invaders from other dimensions. This frequency is much higher than that of similar planes like yours. Can you explain this deviation?"

"It should be our world, for invaders like you, Is there any special attraction..."

"You are talking nonsense. This world is just one of the ordinary and common worlds in the entire multiverse. Although it is vast, it does not have any unique output that deserves the attention of other worlds."

The Queen of Eternal Night opened an analysis report on the target plane B and pointed to the important information that Margaret had discovered. "The frequent invasions in the past were just a means for you to enhance the status of the Church of the God of War and control the surrounding countries that must rely on the church!"

"You are slandering me. The church is just and is protecting believers. How can it be in cahoots with invaders?"

"Then how do you explain why when we were invaded in the past, the first to be hit and the last to suffer the most serious damage were the countries and forces that opposed the Church of the God of War?"

There were history books of this world on the desk of Queen Yongye. She read a lot of them when she was bored. There was no need to hide the public information. Many legendary powerful people present had long lifespans and had survived those eras.

With the speculation in hand and targeted investigation, a lot of evidence was easily produced. She directly found the devil who had been in contact with the God of War Church back then.

As long as they need higher chips, those greedy and shrewd guys will use various means to bypass the confidentiality contract signed with Louis and reveal all the transactions between them.

Louis was furious: "You bastards, those bastards, they talked about beings of order, but they didn't keep their promises at all..."

"The devil only abides by the contract. It's because you have too little trading experience and you were set up a loophole - but then again, the devil has been studying contracts for generations. The smartest way is to never make a deal with that kind of existence. It's a pity that you Too greedy."

As the Queen of Eternal Night slowly revealed the evidence, many members of the God of War Church who heard about this kind of thing for the first time subconsciously moved their steps, distanced themselves from Louis, and even shouted emotionally.

The information revealed by the Queen of Evernight is shocking. The patriarch is not complicated. The simple explanation is just a strategy to raise the bandits to respect themselves:

In order to maintain its majestic image in the hearts of its believers, the World God of War church regularly joins forces with devils to invade the world. In the process, it suppresses dissidents. It also establishes their image among believers and nobles, making those disobedient guys cling tightly to them. Own.

In the face of powerful enemies from another world, only the goddess of war can protect everyone and bring hope to everyone.

This is a very cruel operation, but it is very effective. By relying on this method, Louis can maintain the purity of everyone's faith without maintaining the costly Inquisition.

If the faith is pure, the power of faith is submitted, and a wonderful plot is performed, the church can be rewarded by the goddess of war, gain more faith, expand externally, and then embark on the cycle of sustainable development... …

Louis was indeed an excellent pope with outstanding management skills, but past popes were not simple figures. They were all screened and managed.

He was able to lead the God of War Church to prosper dozens of times faster than its predecessors and make impressive achievements because he had the lowest limit, created difficulties even when there were no difficulties, and completed the show with shameless means!

"Brother, are these all true? Has the church ever done anything like this?"

Hader was inexplicably shocked when he heard this. He just didn't want to spend his time on conspiracies, rather than being a real fool. The information presented by these other worlds was too obvious. He looked at Louis with extremely strange eyes as if he was meeting Louis for the first time. Hold him.

Louis sighed softly: "The gods need worshipers, and our church does the same. Your weapons and equipment, food and clothing, and the huge expenses of the entire church all need more believers to support..."

"But they are enemies, evil enemies. We want to protect believers, how can we actively harm them and kill so many comrades..."

Harder punched Louis in the face, knocking his brother to the ground who was cut off from divine protection.

Louis did not expect that his brother would take him away. He touched the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and said coldly:

"Hard, the enemy is deliberately trying to sow discord between us and is watching our stupid act of killing each other..."

Louis reminded Hader to pay attention to the situation, pay attention to the mocking smiles of those imperial people, and don't be embarrassed by being a prisoner.

"Killing each other, haven't you done enough?"

Harder didn't stop and punched his brother one after another.

Thinking of the displaced refugees I saw on the road to expel the foreign enemies, the comrades who sacrificed their lives resisting the aliens, and the sanctimoniousness of my brother when he taught him justice and mercy in the past, I just felt a backlash in my stomach...

For so many years, he has carried out his brother's orders and fulfilled his instructions, thinking that he was protecting the world, but how many innocent people might he have hurt in the corners that he couldn't see?

The dignified Pope, one of the most holy beings in the eyes of the world, made a deal with the devil and did not know the meaning of it.

He couldn't help but use the method of detecting evil to sprinkle it on Louis, on the teachers who had a deep relationship with him, on the big shots who were running the church's expenses and had interests with those nobles and big countries...

The light of righteousness shines on the heads of these sanctimonious people, and magic shows that every big figure in the Holy See present is an absolutely kind and innocent existence, with no evil or ugliness in their hearts.

But can the true human heart be demonstrated by divine magic?

Divine magic, a magic given by God, is basically to help the gods earn more faith. Of course, it must protect its loyal servants who bring more faith. How can these precious shepherd dogs kill each other? ?

How could a gentleman take his own life?

哈德没有力气再揍路易了，那是自己的兄长，也真正爱护和照顾着自己，此刻就是打死他，也不可能让那些倒下的伙伴回来……

I can only blame myself for being naive.

The resolute knight covered his face and began to cry.

Failure did not defeat him, separation did not defeat him, and powerful enemies did not defeat him, but suddenly he saw the real world clearly, and he collapsed and cried like a child.

Louis' face was swollen. With his eloquence, he could have made up a wonderful excuse to make his stupid brother continue to believe those lies and be his sword.

But he didn't want to do that at the moment. Looking at his brother who was as helpless as when he broke his father's favorite pipe when he was a child, afraid of punishment but brave enough to admit it, he just sighed softly:

"You are always a good child. For you, living in lies is not a kind of happiness..."

The world is not only black and white, but also a lot of gray.

We live under the feet of the gods, but we are not strong enough. We can't get rid of those eternal existence just by saying we want to get rid of them.

But Hader couldn't listen to him. His brother's choice and reason made sense and represented some kind of correctness, but he just didn't like it.

This paladin who fought for the church all his life and didn't care about life and death, this passionate young man who believed in the absolute justice of the gods and vowed to punish evil, for the first time shook what he always believed in...

Do we really represent justice?

Do we really protect this world?

With his faith collapsed, Had looked at the Queen of Eternal Night and the people of the Empire for help:

"Are you invaders here to save us?"

"You're thinking too much. I'm just diverting the flames of war to make our world safer."

The Queen of Eternal Night said cruel words to this young man, but she was not mocking him. She was very serious. "This world has never been saved by outsiders. Whether it's gods or demons, it's not magic that can judge good and evil, but your own eyes."

"My eyes?"

"Believe in what you see, believe in your own wisdom, and don't be lazy and entrust everything to a mysterious and great existence."

The Queen of Eternal Night turned around and listened to the report of the adjutant. She knew that the fleet was ready to jump again, and her rest time was over.

As Louis said, she didn't come to save this world, she just came to destroy the source of Taibella's faith.

Every world has its own tragedy. The Empire just wants to protect itself now, and it is impossible to truly liberate the entire universe.

During the rest time, she exposed human nature. She had some bad tastes, and she also wanted to see if the people in this world would have some interesting changes after experiencing changes?

"Except for this knight, the others will be hung outside the cathedral."

The Queen of Eternal Night gave the order and returned to the bridge.

Had stared at the imperials leaving, and looked at the imperial soldiers who were ordered to deal with them in confusion: "What about me?"

"You are free, Lord Knight."

The soldier looked at him with an inexplicable smile.

"Free?"

Had looked at his hands, and the power returned to him, but the golden holy light in his eyes gradually turned colorless.

He was no longer a paladin, but he was not corrupted. He was just loyal to his heart.

Xana, who was also going to return to the Eternal Night, suddenly stopped and said hesitantly and struggling: "I won't go to the next world first, I want to stay here and take a look."
