Chapter 264 Public Opinion War

Turning to the history of the Middle Ages, religious wars have been running through it.

The most famous one is the Crusades, which lasted for nearly 200 years and killed millions of people. After that, there was a 30-year war that swept across European countries.

As for the religious wars in the Arab world, they were even more frequent, starting in the seventh century and continuing to modern times.

When the conflict between different religions, or different sects of the same religion, is too great to be reconciled, one party may often seek to completely purify the other party physically.

With so many lessons learned from the past, Li Yu is not unprepared for the upcoming war that the Silver Moon Church will launch.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stocking Miss Rabbit all the time, and even persuaded her to persevere when the latter was hesitant to convert to Saturday.

Even if it is only nominally staying with the Silver Moon Church, it can buy some precious development time for the Double Break Church.

However, after the dragon slaughter, the reputation of Li Yu and the Shuangxiu Church ushered in another surge. The Silver Moon Church should have further felt the crisis, and was stimulated by Ilea's announcement of converting to Saturday, and finally made up his mind to go to war with the Shuangxiu Sect. .

Li Yu also doesn't intend to let the female lord go back and continue to buy time. Firstly, this will affect the reputation of the Shuangxiu Church, and secondly, it is of little use.

The Silvermoon Church is not a fool either, they already know which side Ilea is on, and the reason why they choose to start a war is because of the rapid development of the Shuangxiu Church.

And now is also the best time for Li Yu and Shuangxiu Jiao to start the war.

The Silvermoon Church has ruled the Western Territory for so many years. If there is any weakness, it is that they have never fully owned their own armed forces.

Of course, this is also their own choice. In order not to make the major families in the western region feel threatened, this decision has allowed them to maintain a good relationship with the ruler of this land for thousands of years.

Moreover, the Silver Moon Church has been actively absorbing young talents from the major families. As time goes by, the connection between the two parties has become closer and closer. The Silver Moon Church can even influence the political and military decisions of the major families to a certain extent.

This also gave them an illusion that they also seemed to have thousands of troops in their hands.

However, it turns out that influence is always just influence, and it is different from actually having a large army.

For example, now, the Shuangxiu Church and the Arias family have a moral advantage. In addition, the two sides teamed up to bring down an evil dragon. The big guy and the female lord fought against David in Rock Snow City. Nobles are unwilling to offend the Arias family and the Shuangxiu Church at this time, let alone confront each other.

Li Yu infers that the Silver Moon Church may still have some thugs who specialize in dirty work in private, such as the black armored cavalry he met last time, but the number should not be too many.

In addition, there may be some small noble families that are completely controlled by the Silver Moon Church, but they also don't have too many soldiers and horses.

In other words, the Silver Moon Church could not directly encircle and suppress the Shuangxiu Church by mobilizing a large army. It could only gather the strength of the common people, that is, directly incite believers.

So in the early days of the war, the two sides actually competed for the position of public opinion.

This explains why the Silver Moon Church first made a fuss about the two Hughes of the Shuangxiu Sect. First of all, it was naturally to establish the impression that the Shuangxiu Sect's Hughes are bad people in the hearts of the nearby villagers. Can create a sense of panic among the rest of Hughes.

After all, two people had already been killed, and the rest of them would definitely feel drums in their hearts when they went out, and they were even reluctant to preach because they were worried about their safety.

But Li Yu already had corresponding countermeasures.

He returned to Bratis early the next morning, and when the dizziness subsided a little, Li Yu saw Miss Rabbit opposite at a glance.

The latter was biting his nails, looking a little anxious, and as soon as he appeared, the girl jumped up from the chair, and rushed to him in a few steps. After touching it all over and confirming that Li Yu is not missing, he was relieved.

"It's good that you're fine. I was shocked when I heard the news that you were attacked."

"How are the others?" Li Yu asked.

"Two soldiers of the Black Dog Guard died, one was disabled, and the other was seriously injured. He still has a high fever and is unconscious. Most of the rest are not seriously injured."

Li Yu nodded. The result was much better than he had imagined. It seemed that the new equipment and weapons had played a role. After a pause, Li Yu asked again, "Has the seriously injured man been given medicine?"

"Uh, I asked the pharmacist in the territory to treat him. As for the magical medicine of the Shuangxiu Sect, Hera did not agree to take it out."

"Why?" Li Yu was a little surprised.

"Because the person who was seriously injured was not a member of Shuangxiu."

A name flashed in Li Yu's mind, and he raised his eyebrows, "Anton?"

"Yes."

"When I left, remember to tell Jerry to take care of him."

"Jerry is also in Teacup Castle now. He is very worried about your safety. I told him that you will come back tonight, so he stayed. I'll have someone call him over. You can ask him directly."

When Tom saw Li Yu, he rubbed his eyes first, and then almost wanted to do it too.

The main reason was that he watched those black armored cavalry charge towards Li Yu with his own eyes. Although Li Yu used the creek down the hillside to throw some distance away from the pursuers, two legs could not run with four legs after all.

Coupled with the fact that the black armored cavalry suddenly withdrew their troops midway and stopped bothering them, it should be a big gain.

But now that Li Yu was standing in front of him intact, and contacted with Li Yu's explanation to him before leaving, the Fifty Fathoms' belief counting column jumped up two more times.

It took Tom a while to digest the shock that Li Yu brought him, and then he thought of something, and quickly handed over a cowhide bag in his hand.

Li Yu found his mobile phone and other sundries, and then he heard Tom describe in detail what happened after he left.

Only then did I know that Anton ran to the opposite side to deliver a head by himself.

But after thinking for a while, he still said, "Tell Hera, bring the anti-inflammatory medicine, anyway, I brought them there."

Tom nodded, and then a look of worry appeared on his face, "The news about those black armored cavalry has spread, Hughes are generally very worried. When they went to preach recently, they could clearly feel that The villagers are hostile towards them.

"But we don't have enough manpower to provide protection for every monk. According to the strength shown by those black armored cavalry, we have to send at least two teams to compete with them.

"Well, I just plan to try a new way of preaching, the previous one was too slow." Li Yu said lightly.

　Well, there is only one update today.Everyone go to bed early.
