The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Chapter 441 Strategic Retreat

The Legion of Destroyers is the private army of the Church of War, and they are the ultimate weapon of the Church of War.

The entire legion, from selection to training, until it finally becomes a legion that can be deployed in battle, is all completed within the War Church.

It can even be said that, apart from the funding, the Destroyer Legion was built from top to bottom by the Church of War, and is a unique weapon of mass destruction.

Even though the Golden Rooster Kingdom had begun to decline and suffered a series of defeats, the Destroyer Legion still did not take action.

Logically speaking, the war launched by the Golden Rooster Kingdom was in response to the oracle of the God of War, but the attitude of the War Church obviously did not seem to be executing the oracle, but more like preparing to reap the benefits.

The two of them returned to the topic.

After Gerd Paler's description, Li Xuan almost understood the situation at that time.

As a result, his expectation of having Jerde join the Holy Church became even higher.

Li Xuan reminded him, "From this perspective, you really need the help of our Holy Church. Joining the Holy Church will not only help you solve the problems of the people's minds, but also effectively resist the oppression of the War Church!"

Jerde waved his hand and said calmly, "Don't worry about this for now. There are still many things we can discuss. If your Holy Church is really as you say, I can join it."

Li Xuan immediately realized that what Jerde said was just empty promises.

If you want to know the specific situation of the Holy Religion, you naturally have to see it with your own eyes.

Based on his one-sided statement alone, even if Li Xuan said something very exaggerated, it would not achieve the effect that Jerde wanted, so it is estimated that there will be no answer to this matter today.

But one thing is for sure, even if Li Xuan knew that Jerde would not give an answer today, he would not treat him casually.

After all, everything he said about the Holy Church was true. As long as Xino completed all the formalities, the Holy Church would be a legal organization in this world.

It is in accordance with the laws of nature, not the third-rate church recognized by ordinary dynasties.

Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed, and Jerde cannot give an answer now.

The current communication has planted a seed in Gerd's heart. When the Holy Church becomes complete, Gerd will know how wise it is to join the Holy Church.

Who knows, by then he might even regret joining too late.

The two then had some further conversation, and Li Xuan responded to Jerde's questions one by one.

His answers were clear and well-written, and Gerald couldn't find any fault with them.

Finally, Li Xuan stood up and said, "It's getting late today. How about we stop talking here?"

Jerde was clearly unsatisfied. He asked, "Didn't we just discuss the history of the founding of your Holy Church? Why don't you continue?"

Li Xuan sighed, "No. We actually have other tasks here this time. I came to see you this time mainly because I'm curious about you. It's almost time now, it's time for us to leave!"

Then, Jerde pointed at the gold bars on the table and said seriously, "These things can only be my friends for one day. If you come back tomorrow, you will have to prove your strength all over again!"

Li Xuan didn't care about Jerde's "greed" at all. He said nonchalantly, "Of course, relationships need to be maintained. This little bit of effort is not a problem for me. If I don't leave tomorrow, I will come again."

With that, he was about to leave with Thor and Nord.

"Wait a minute!" Gerd suddenly shouted.

Li Xuan turned his head and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Gerd sighed slightly, then said, "I'll wait for you tomorrow!"

Li Xuan waved his hand and said casually, "It depends on the situation. As the Pope of the Holy Church, I still have many things to deal with, so I may not be able to spare the time."

After saying that, Li Xuan and the other two left the Duke's Mansion directly.

After they had completely left, the old butler said to Gerald, "Sir, they have really left..."

Jerde glanced at the gold bars on the table and ordered, "Take these gold bars away. If they are inspected and found to be correct, they will be included in this year's fiscal budget."

The old butler replied respectfully, "Yes."

Jerde said in a deep voice: "With this money, our situation can be alleviated, but..."

The old butler asked, "Young Master, do you have any concerns? After all, the three of them and that church appeared suddenly, which is indeed worthy of suspicion."

"That's not important. It doesn't matter where they come from or what their purpose is. As long as this church exists, that's all that matters."

The old butler was a little confused. He thought for a moment and guessed, "Young Master wants to use them as financial backers and contribute to the development of the territory?"

Jerde shook his head without responding. He looked at Li Xuan's back with a smile and said sadly, "Let's see if they will come tomorrow to find out the specific situation."

At this time, Li Xuan was answering questions from Thor and Nord.

They were very confused. They were obviously getting along well, so why would he suddenly choose to leave?

Moreover, their original purpose of coming here was to observe Duke Paler and his territory, but now it seems to be going against their purpose.

"Teacher, are we leaving just like that?" Nord couldn't help but ask.

You know, although they have never seen gold bars, they have heard of them.

That one pure gold bar was enough to buy out their former village with some left over, and even allow the villagers to eat and drink for free for a year without any problems.

Li Xuan actually took out three of them and chose to leave after just saying a few words, wasting the opportunity to meet.

The most important thing is that Duke Paler has already said that these three gold bars can only maintain their friendship for one day, but Li Xuan acted as if nothing had happened and didn't care at all.

Li Xuan thought to himself, "If we don't leave now, when will we? He can't just make up a history of the Holy Church's founding on the spot. Should he just tell Jerde that the Holy Church was founded by a golden bug, carried out by a village chief, and that he, a traveler from afar, became Pope?"

Even if he said so, Gerd might not believe it.

Moreover, Li Xuan did this to whet Jerde's appetite. Anyway, no matter what he said today, he would not get an answer, so he only needed to tell him the most basic information, and Jerde could figure out the rest by himself.

In this way, maybe next time they meet, Gerd might conquer himself.

But he naturally wouldn't tarnish his identity in front of Thor and Nord, so he said confidently, "It's just a small amount of money. This Jerde is very interesting. In this era, he actually chose to fight against theocracy. This money can be considered a reward for him!"
