Letting go of the church's arms will be a double-edged sword.

But even if they do not let go of the church's armed forces, they have already armed themselves.

The monks who rescued Dick and Kaifeng are the holy shields among the children of warriors.

The Aegis is like a gang of beggars. The Aegis monks mainly practice penance. They help ordinary people to name, hold weddings, bless children, heal the poor, and protect the safety of businessmen and travelers on the road. If the businessmen and travelers propose Request, the Holy Shield monks will **** them to a certain place free of charge.

Any civilians who need help, find them, they will provide help selflessly. No matter if you are a beggar or a blacksmith, a farmer or a hunter, you are treated equally.

The armed forces of the sons of warriors, the elite is the holy sword army composed of knights, with horses, armor and long swords, but the most powerful thing is the holy shield composed of civilian monks: there are too many people, not afraid of death, not afraid of hardship, among the people Have a very high reputation, well-informed, the poorer, the more they support them.

In the Seven Kingdoms, the poor are the majority, and the nobles and knights are the minority.

But if the church wants to have its own arms, it needs legal legitimacy.

The church promoted by Baylor, who built the Baylor Cathedral, praying to God is the only weapon of the church. For more than a hundred years, the church has not possessed arms is the consensus reached by all forces. Without armed forces, the Church of the Seven Gods received the firm support of the royal family and aristocracy.

The current King Stannis I did not say that he did not support the Church of the Seven Gods, but after seeing the strength of the red-robed girl Melisandre, he saw with his own eyes a fire that destroyed the elite army of the West, and learned that After Tywin Lannister was killed by the shadow, he also supported the belief of the Red-robed Female Red God: allowing her to build the Red Temple and the Red God Square.

This offends the pain of the Church of the Seven Gods.

They feel the crisis of survival.

Once Stannis I strongly supports the Red God Sect, the status of the state religion of the Church of the Seven Gods will be in jeopardy-in fact, the danger has already come-once the Red Temple in the Red Fort is successfully built, the Red God Square is successfully built, people More and more people will believe in Red God's Feet and the Lord of Light Rahlo.

This is something that the Church of the Seven Gods absolutely cannot accept.

They need the armed forces of the church-when God cannot intervene in evil, they must stand up.

Dick Weishui didn't know the name of the archbishop, because once he became a monk, he had nothing to do with himself on earth. The archbishop is the son of god, and the secular name and surname have disappeared.

Believers call the archbishop, and they can only call him by a certain characteristic of the bishop—no one knows his dunya name, and he doesn’t have any name—this is a trouble. Generations of archbishops write into the bishop’s saint. At the time of writing, the author can only use a certain characteristic to refer to him, which is the distress of not having a name.

In history, there is the title of Archbishop of Stone, and there is the saying of Archbishop Fat. Before he became a monk, Archbishop Stone was a stonemason. After he became a monk, his name disappeared. After he became an archbishop, he became a son of God. Know his original name.

Although Dick Weishui was worried that the church armed forces would overwhelm the royal family in the future, there has been such an experience in history. The king and queen were arrested by the church armed forces for trial-but he did not hesitate to agree.

"Then, my lord, we need to get the king's decree from Joffrey I." said the obese archbishop.

With this legal recognition, it is justifiable for them to form the son of warriors. In the future, Stannis I will be overthrown, and Joffrey I will return to King’s Landing. If the royal family wants to disband their arms, they can come up with the king’s decree. contend.

In everything, there must first be legal rationality.

Dick Weishui said: "Archbishop, I will get the king's order from Joffrey I and hand it to you within twenty days."

"The sooner the better!" said the archbishop.

"The knight's holy sword armed, you can form it now, you don't need to wait for the king's order to get it, because it takes time to go back and forth from the west."

"We know." said the archbishop with a small warrior sword hanging around his neck. "I hope that your lord will leave immediately and extend our loyal blessings to King Joffrey. The seven gods protect Joffrey I."

Dick Weishui didn't move. The Seven Gods Church got what they wanted, and the West Realm still had what they wanted.

"Archbishop, we hope that the church will exempt the royal family from arrears." Dick Weishui said.

The royal family owed more than one million golden dragons. When Joffrey I returned to the Red Fort, the church had the right to ask him for money.

The seven archbishops exchanged glances, and Dick Weishui saw that the opinions of the seven were not consistent.

"I can wait!" said Dick Weishui.

So, the seven archbishops entered a prayer room for a meeting. After a while, the seven archbishops left one by one, leaving only the fat archbishop. He smiled and faced Dick Weishui: "We have agreed to your request, and the church exempted you. The royal family owes more than one million gold coins. But after King Joffrey returns to King’s Landing and ascends to the Iron Throne, he shall no longer issue a royal decree to disarm our sons of warriors. The church has the right to retain its own weapons forever-sons of warriors."

This is an excessive request. Perhaps the original intention of the church was to take this opportunity to seek greater power. There is a terrible thing about the sons of warriors, that they are not afraid of fighting and not afraid of death. The weakness is that in addition to the holy sword arms, the light infantry holy shield arms lack systematic military training, and the level of army combat is limited, not to mention the battle formation, the coordination and formation, and the fighting level of the barbarian tribes in the mountains and forests.

"I will convey the conditions of the archbishop to King Joffrey." Dick Weishui said.

"If King Joffrey disagrees, King Ramley's army is not far from King's Landing." The archbishop threatened.

"I think King Joffrey will agree, but I am only the messenger of Duke Kevon, and I have no right to make royal decisions."

"I hope that within a month, we can reach a consensus that is satisfactory to both sides." The archbishop said with a smile.

Dick Weishui felt a little uneasy. The other bishops were gone. That was a hint that no more changes would be made. The conditions of the archbishop must be agreed.

I'm afraid that after the church's arms are released, this is to release a tiger to the forest. From now on, Joffrey I will return to King's Landing and sit on the Iron Throne, unable to contend with the power of the church.

But now there is no choice in the West.

After the church forces overthrew Stannis I, they were unwilling to make a blue ceremony. Why? They chose to cooperate with Joffrey, who was just defeated. Why? The army of Duke Lanly is 100,000, which is five times the current total strength of the West.

Perhaps it is easier to deal with a child than with an adult. Perhaps, the archbishop of the church knows the uncleanness of Renly, but, similarly, there are rumors that Joffrey is a kind of incest. It is impossible for the archbishop to know these rumors. Moreover, Cersei's **** has been judged by Ed Stark in the court trial.

There is something tricky—Dick Weishui doesn’t know what it is—but there must be something tricky!

"As you wish, Master Archbishop, goodbye!" Dick Vishui pulled on his hood and walked out of the church quickly.
