Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 419 How to Protect
Soto City, Spirit Hall.

An elderly woman in a platinum robe was dragging a young man by her hands, and even though he struggled without shaking her own movements, she dragged the man into the room under the horrified and surprised eyes of the people who had taken refuge in the Spirit Hall. Entered the confinement room of Wuhun Palace.

"Peng!"

The man was thrown into the confinement room and hit the ground hard, his body made a dull sound when it landed.

Crouching on the floor of the confinement room, the man clutched his stomach that had just been attacked by the bishop, with a painful expression on his face.

With the body of an ordinary person, he received the blow from the bishop whose strength is the holy soul. Although it was only a lesson in nature, the man's body was a little bit overwhelmed.

The bishop looked at the secretary who fell to the ground, with a bit of anger still on his face:

"Che Guwa, tell me, why did you attack Xingluo's soldiers just now? Do you know what kind of impact and harm your actions may have on Spirit Hall!?"

The bishop was really angry. Che Guwa was her secretary. He was always a very smart and clever guy, and he was very good at dealing with affairs. He also handled the relationship with many soul masters in the temple well. She never thought of such a smart guy. He will do such a thing today!
His Majesty the Pope clearly issued an official document, not allowing members of the Spirit Hall to intervene in the war between the two countries, but Che Gueva actually went to attack Xingluo's soldiers!
If it wasn't for the instant she appeared, Che Guwa would have been stabbed all over his body by the furious Xingluo soldiers by now.

After all, it is now a time of war, and there is an announcement from His Majesty the Pope, neither the Star Luo Army nor the branches of the Spirit Hall can guarantee whether the members of the Spirit Hall around them have joined the Heaven Dou Army to perform special tasks.

Therefore, in order to prevent the army from suffering excessive losses, most of the Xingluo soldiers will directly treat them as Heaven Dou soldiers when encountering attacks by members of the Spirit Hall, and kill them regardless.

And Wuhundian received the news that their members were killed, so they may not be able to do anything, because unless they are very sure, they can't conclude that the deceased only has the identity of Wuhundian.

If he still has the identity of a Tiandou soldier, the branch hall that he sheltered will also be regarded as an enemy by the Xingluo army, and will be divided and dealt with with other spirit halls.

So Che Guwa's behavior is really basically to die, and he is not a soul master, just an ordinary person, and he doesn't even have a chance to escape!

Che Gueva clutched his stomach, slowly got up, sat on the floor of the confinement room, and nodded:

"I'm sorry, my lord bishop, for worrying you. I didn't intend to drag you and your highness."

Seeing Che Gueva's appearance, the anger in the bishop's heart was relieved, he sighed, and said:

"You have been by my side for three or four years. You should also know my temper, and you will not give up on you at will."

"I'm sorry..." Che Gueva said again.

"Tell me, what is the reason? I know you didn't join the Heaven Dou army, so why did you attack the Xingluo soldiers?"

Moving away the hand covering his stomach, a few tears flowed across Che Guva's face:

"My lord bishop, I really can't bear it anymore... Those who are suffering in the city are people I know well... They are being abused by the Star Luo army every day, and they are doing extremely hard work..."

"Many people have been exhausted to death these days! Today I even saw that old people over the age of Liujia and children under the age of ten were conscripted to do coolies... Do you know? I saw a body The pregnant woman who was pregnant with Liujia was stunned and had a miscarriage because she did not complete the target task..."

"My lord bishop, I have been taught to be kind and empathetic since I was a child. You have also taught me light and justice. Seeing my compatriots suffering, I really can't bear the torment in my heart..."

Perhaps it was because the traffic in the Principality of Barak was really bad. After occupying Soto City, the Star Luo Empire not only continued to send troops to attack the Heaven Dou Empire, but also recruited many local people to become coolies, build roads and produce work.

Yes, mainly for building passages.

Although the Xingluo army is powerful, it is after all going deep into the sky to fight. If the logistics support is not handled well, it is very likely that the supplies will be cut off and surrounded and killed.

Therefore, good transportation conditions are very necessary for Xingluo.

So after winning the stronghold of Soto City, Xingluo began to call for road repairs, from the Xingluo border all the way to Soto City, and from Soto City to other places.

However, although it is said to be conscripted, it is actually similar to forced labor. After all, the current citizens of Barak are not citizens of Xingluo.

"My lord, doesn't our Spirit Hall represent light and justice? Why do we adopt such a neutral attitude of turning a blind eye to Xingluo's atrocities?"

Che Gueva was in great pain.

Wuhundian is a place he admired since he was a child. When Wuhundian opened the imperial examination and allowed ordinary people to join, he was excited and worked hard for a long time. Ge Wa thinks his choice is not wrong.

But now, Wuhundian's inaction in the face of Xingluo's invasion and the tragic life of the people seem to be warning Che Guwa that the world is not as beautiful as he imagined.

Even the most bright and upright Wuhun Temple in his mind will acquiesce in the spread of violence and darkness.

"Why doesn't the Pope stop this war... Isn't our Spirit Hall the strongest..."

Tears continued to flow down Che Gueva's face, and the pain and incomprehension accumulated in his heart these days were vented at this time.

Seeing Che Gueva's painful appearance, the bishop sighed again, not paying attention to his presumptuous words to His Majesty.

No matter how alert Che Gueva is, he is just a young man who is still growing, and he still needs time to temper.

"Che Guwa, the reason why Your Majesty adopts this attitude is because of her unavoidable reasons."

After thinking for a long time, the bishop decided to explain and mention Che Gueva.

This is a very talented young man. Although he is not a soul master and has no strength, he has brains, so he can't just be depressed or centrifugal.

Hearing the bishop's words, Che Gueva slowly raised his head and looked at the bishop in platinum robes in front of him, his eyes were a little red.

"Wuhundian is different from the two great empires. Although it has the most powerful soul masters in the entire continent, it does not have an organized army. The soul masters under its command are scattered all over the mainland, and their power is not concentrated."

"The soul masters in the Heaven Dou Empire can resist Xing Luo according to their own wishes, but in the Star Luo Empire, the members are too scattered."

"If we act dispersedly, the strength is too small, but if we want to gather and act together, Xingluo's army will never allow this to happen, and will disperse and wipe out our members before the power of our Spirit Hall is unified."

"Why do you think Your Majesty wants to keep the Spirit Hall in a neutral position..."

The bishop pointed to the people gathered outside the confinement room and took refuge in the Wuhun Hall, and said:

"Because only maintaining neutrality is the best protection for the people."

"Have you seen the people hiding in the hall? Think about it, why are they able to be protected in the Hall of Spirits? Is it only because of the strength of the Hall of Spirits?"

"If the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire are hostile, then our branch hall is the enemy of Star Luo. Their army will only kill us as soon as possible, instead of being afraid outside."

"Because of the current neutral attitude of our Spirit Hall, the place where the Spirit Hall is located can be a fortress, able to provide protection, and even provide porridge and food to the suffering people in the war zone without being stopped by the Star Luo army."

"You should also know how rare it is to find a place where people can rest in peace in a war-torn land."

Stretching out a hand to touch Che Gueva's head, the bishop's voice was very soft:
"So, for you, the best way to protect the people is not to freeze the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Xingluo Army here."

"Do you understand it?"
