The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Little Kearney hit a nail in Natalie's place. He knew that he and Natalie had completely fallen out, and there was no hope. So he was going to go to Dean Koldecki to find a way to survive for himself.

Of course, it is not decent to say that you don't want to die and want to leave the monastery, and it is also a disgrace to your aristocracy. So Kearney found a few nobles and mercenaries who had the same mind. They were also scared by the Swedes’ heavy cannons. They forgot the good times of Lien Chan and Lien Czech, and only remembered the Swedish army. That unstoppable power.

"Oh, we kept it for the last week, another week, and the third week... What can we do? Today, the heavy artillery of the Swedes smashed our dome, and then the wine may be our city wall, and then we Will die here." Little Kearney lowered his head and sighed.

The nobles and monks also sighed in the same way. Little Kearney glanced up quietly, everyone's heads down and listless.

"What's the solution? We are just monks who have never fought before, and this is not a fortress with bronze walls and iron walls. We can do this step is already very remarkable." A mercenary sighed.

This statement was approved by others. But no one made other "suggestions", everyone just sighed, which inevitably made little Kearney a little anxious.

He had no choice but to speak out himself.

"Everyone, it is not a pity for us to die. And it is an honor to dedicate ourselves to the Virgin. But what we cannot die is worthless. The city is broken, and the monastery's wealth and women and children will become the targets of the Swedes. We cannot watch This kind of thing happened, right." Little Kearney said sternly.

This remark was unanimously agreed by everyone.

"That's the truth!" said several nobles and mercenaries.

Seeing everyone agreeing with his opinion, Kearney hit the railroad while it was hot: "I know. Normal monasteries will have a secret road leading to the outside world. This secret road is not easy to open, and there is only the monastery's dean. I know. We should go to Dean Koldecki and ask him to tell us the entrance of the secret passage. Then we protect the most valuable treasures of the monastery and evacuate the women and children. After that, we will come back and share with the monastery. Survival."

Little Kearney said that he was selfless, as if he was thinking of others. But these nobles and mercenaries are not stupid people. If you think about it, how can you not hear the extraneous sound? But they were fascinated by the temptation of treasure and survival, and they shouted out loudly.

Seeing that he had supporters, little Kearney was secretly happy. In order to prevent these people from regretting afterwards, he immediately took them to Dean Koldecki's office.

Dean Koldecki's face was full of fatigue. In fact, since the Swedes besieged the monastery, Dean Koldecki has rarely slept for more than four hours. He spends time every day praying and calming people's hearts.

Today, Dean Koldecki did not eat the breakfast that the kitchen prepared for him.

After listening to the little Kearney and the others, Dean Koldecki stood up, walked to the wall where the statue of the Virgin was hung, and stood motionless.

"He will tell us that there is no secret way at all." Little Kearney guessed.

"There is no secret way." Dean Koldecki said.

Little Kearney showed such an expression as expected.

"Why not? Master Dean, think about it carefully." A nobleman said impatiently.

"It's not true. The Daguangmingshan Monastery was built on the rock and it was not easy to excavate, and we don't believe that anyone would dare to risk the world's disgrace and think badly about the monastery."

After hearing Dean Koldecki's words, those who originally thought there was still a glimmer of life were desperate.

At this time, Dean Koldecki said again:

"My brothers! When you were awake at night, my father stayed awake all night; when you prayed to the Virgin for salvation, I was praying all night. Fatigue and weakness are torturing you and me. But everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The Swedes’ cannons are so powerful that they destroyed the dome of the monastery in one shot, but did you even destroy the dome in your heart? You think all the resistance has been useless, and you think To escape. If you really think so, my brothers, then you are blaspheming God, because you deny God’s omniscience and omnipotence, and think that there is another power that can prevail above the earth. If anyone really is so. Think, please stand up."

Suspecting God, this charge is too great. No one rushed forward.

Seeing that no one had come forward, Dean Koldecki continued: "Since no one has come forward to sing this counter-tune, then let us use our perseverance and sacrifice to defend the monastery and protect the most holiness. Our Mother of God. Everyone who sacrificed today will enter heaven after death."

Knowing that there was no way out, everyone was stunned by what Dean Koldecki said. Seeing that his plan went bankrupt, Kearney had to stand up again to defend himself.

"Master Dean," Little Kearney said, "I think you have misunderstood what we mean. We are not greedy for life and fear of death. We just want to transfer the wealth of old and weak women and children and monasteries who cannot fight. After all, women and children are innocent. , And many of the treasures of the monastery are the wealth of the entire Republic."

"Of course I know what you mean, Knight Kearney." Dean Kordecki said kindly: "You have spoken these words out of public and not private intentions. You can work under such difficult conditions. I am also planning for the future of the monastery. I am very happy. Although you are on the wrong path. Since everyone knows that there is no way out, then I hope you can put your mind on guarding the monastery."

Dean Koldecki said "you". Obviously he understood that the chief messenger of this incident was little Kearney.

Little Kearney was frightened in a cold sweat. He did not expect Dean Koldecki to have such a torch and perceptive look.

Little Kearney and the others bowed and walked out. And Dean Koldecki immediately called for Cheerchen and Natalie~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He knew that his words could only deter these people, but could not solve all the problems.

"How is morale now?"

As soon as the two entered the office, Dean Koldecki asked.

Cheerchen and Natalie glanced at each other. Chechen said: "It's very bad. Many people are terrified by the Swedes' giant cannons."

"What kind of people are they?" Dean Koldecki asked again.

"Most of them are farmers and nobles, and some mercenaries are also terrified. I have to say that monks are better than anyone in terms of courage." Chechen said.

Koldecki nodded. This is in line with the situation of the people brought by Kearney just now.

"How do you think we should boost morale under the threat of Swedes." Dean Koldecki asked again.

For this problem, Natalie gave a solution.

"With all due respect, Master Dean. The soldiers are expensive but not too many. In this situation, we should drive those desperate out of the monastery, and give higher salaries to those who are willing to stay in the monastery. At the same time, we should pay all those who participated in the war. The farmers were mixed, and the peasants, nobles, monks, and mercenaries were all disrupted to prevent anyone from linking up.” Natalie said.

"It deserves to be the daughter of the Kishka family." Dean Koldecki secretly praised.

"I also agree with Natalie." Cheerchen also said.

"Let’s do it then. I have another idea—from now on, the three of us will gather together every day to ask questions and discuss solutions. Cheerchen, you are good at military, Natalie, you are good at politics, military, politics and Faith, these are indispensable in this defense battle." Dean Koldecki also suggested.

Of course, this plan was unanimously approved by Cheer Chen and Natalie.
