It's a pity that the Holy Light Cult is destined to be a stumbling block on Lorne's road to success.
Even if it serves the country and the people, that beast must find a way to eradicate it.
What's more, Sophia also said that the Holy Light Religion is not that simple.
As the saying goes, it will be broken when it is broken.
If it were replaced by Lorn sitting on the throne of the current emperor of the empire.
He would definitely take action as soon as possible or find a way to ban the church.
No matter how high the cost, it would be better than waiting for the Holy Light Religion to gain sufficient strength and let them take the lead in attacking.
But Lorne is not in the position of emperor after all, and it is not that easy to ban the church that possesses the Holy Light.
Especially in the interior of the empire where the power of the church has taken root.
After persuading Anna, it took them nearly twenty days to leave the northern territory.
If there was anything that impressed Lorne the most in the interior of the empire, it would probably be the ubiquitous churches, and of course the seemingly out-of-place believer soldiers surrounding the churches.
The interior of the empire is not as threatened by orcs as the northern border.
What exactly the soldiers outside the church are defending is a question that Lorne doesn't want to delve into.
But this should be a good thing for him.
The church has blatantly deployed armed forces.
As long as the emperor of the empire is not blind, he should not allow it no matter what.
"Did you notice that I am not talking nonsense?
This is the power of the church in the interior of the empire.
Countless civilians are its foundation.
If necessary, it can assemble an armed force in the shortest possible time that exceeds the number of the imperial army. " Taking advantage of the convenience of his position, Lorne often looks for opportunities to get close to Sophia.
Although he restrained himself because of Anna's warning, Lorne always had a valid reason when it was time to communicate with Sophia.
And this time is no exception, standing with the bishop openly and openly.
After Sophia dismissed the people around her, the woman told Lorne.
After seeing with his own eyes that even a small village had a dedicated church and a guard responsible for guarding the door, Lorne did not doubt Sophia's words at all.
"With such a powerful force, why doesn't the emperor of the empire take action to rectify it?"
The more people are at the peak of their power, the less willing they are to share it with others.
The Grand Duke of the North is a special case, but in Lorne's view, the church seems to be the biggest problem.
"Renovation" was repeated funny.
At this time, Sophia seemed to have returned to the time when she was the bishop of the church.
"It was the Mother of Holy Light who contributed to the establishment of the empire.
She is not only the deity of the Holy Light Religion, but also the Founder of empire.
If the emperor dared to attack the church, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Moreover, since the dark ages, the power of the church has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Unless they want to die together, the person sitting highest cannot make up his mind at all.
And the person who can sit in that position spends most of his time thinking about how to consolidate his position.
As long as the church does not hinder him, he will not challenge the authority of the church.
Today's emperor is old, but not all of his sons are supporters of the Holy Light Religion.
So when the power changes, it will be the time to verify our results.
Therefore, during this period, we must make every effort to sow discord between the church and the empire. " Lorne and Sophia also talked a lot about how to drive a wedge between the church and the empire.
For example, destroying the church's warehouse where the treasures are hidden can be blamed on the empire.
As long as this kind of thing accumulates slowly and the emperor does not do anything, the pope of the church will also make some normal reactions for self-protection.
"Your Excellency the Baron, the Bishop, and the Chief of Guards received a banquet invitation from the local nobles.
He asked me to ask your opinions."
Before Lorne could answer, a person suddenly came from a distance, and Lorne recognized the other person's identity.
That was Joseph's attendant, who was usually responsible for delivering orders and other errands.

And this young man is still a member of the Habs family.
Of course, with only one surname, he is still an insignificant figure.
But Lorne was also very polite when it came to the person's last name.
"Mr.
Dia, my opinion is not important.
The key is the wishes of the captain of the guard and the bishop.
I don't know if our bishop needs to rest here for a night."
Sophia was indeed a little tired from traveling continuously, and in order to familiarize Lorne with the situation of the imperial nobles, she also had to give Lorne some opportunities to contact the local nobles.
"Based on time, we should still have enough time.
After so many days, our people really need a good rest, so please ask Mr.
Diahabs to go back and tell the captain of the guard that we are willing to accept the invitation."
In order to recover Anna's wasted time in the past few days, the team marched with great intensity.
Although there were no accidents due to the presence of the priest, proper rest was also necessary.
Those delicate priests and girls who are waiting to receive the Holy Light have already become unbearable even if they don't have to walk on their own feet.
Relaxing at this time can help them adjust their state.
On the contrary, it was Lorne's reformers, and the boring march had no impact on them at all.
Taking all this as Lorne's ability to manage the army, Baron Fast became an experienced and capable general in the eyes of many people.
Therefore, neither Joseph nor the servants from the Habsburg family dared to neglect the conqueror of the grassland, and personally delivered the invitation letter to Lorne.
Joseph also specifically told Lorne some of the habits of the inland nobles.
This is not the first time Lorne has seen the problems of nobles.
As long as it's not a perverted habit, Lorne from Earth can accept it.
Besides, having watched a lot of movies and TV shows, and experienced it many times in the North, Lorne quickly accepted the so-called rules.
Of course, as a member of the Empire.
The banquet in the north is actually based on the inland.
Although it is simplified a lot due to personality reasons, everyone is generally consistent.
The biggest difference may be that the nobles in the interior of the empire tend to regard banquets as a reflection of status.
For example, there must be no mistakes in the order of appearances.
There will even be a dedicated person responsible for introducing the big names loudly when they appear.
This behavior is called a roll call.
Moreover, people with low status must arrive in advance.
As for people with high status, they will appear one by one according to prior arrangements.
Originally, as Lorne, he should also be among the audience who arrived in advance.
But he is still a guest after all.
With Joseph's efforts, Lorne can also get a roll call opportunity.
This was Joseph's good intention, and it was also to let the interior of the empire know that there was such a powerful lord like Lorne in the north.
It's a pity that the final limelight did not fall on Lorne, because Anna, as a lord, asked Lorne to appear with her as her male companion.
With the name of the little princess of the Habsburgs, Lorne's name will naturally be passed by
