Chapter 521: Joan of Arc
Chapter 514 Joan of Arc
Once Maya realized that it was going to be a long and difficult clear out, she had the intention of pulling the Witch Hunt Brigade out of it.
Keeping such an ace unit on standby for a long period of time just to deal with those evil professionals that would pop up at some point was obviously a huge waste.
But things weren’t that simple, because ordinary people couldn’t really handle this kind of thing.
Professionals are not cats and dogs, frontal confrontation with guns is difficult, but not impossible, especially after the preparation of law professionals, how many casualties can be caused depends on how much preparation time and resources at hand.
Theoretically, even an apprentice mage with enough time and resources can make a city fall into ruin, so the threat that an army of ordinary people can pose to a professional is not that high!
A professional’s opponent is always a professional, in this regard the Sacred Shield is a professional, otherwise it wouldn’t be so supported by the local lords, because what the lords need is stability, not a group of lawless professionals.
But today’s Sacred Shield is laced with too many impurities, and although the members of the territorial origins are privately working desperately to develop the Hydra, it’s unrealistic and impossible to keep it completely secret.
The territory was already chaotic enough, and mixing in these unstable elements, Maya would absolutely go crazy, so the Witch Hunters couldn’t be withdrawn, at least not all of them.
In addition, because the main population of the territory is no longer the system converted population, so some things must be cloaked in a layer of reasonable, or at least acceptable, otherwise it will cause serious rejection.
For example, right now, the witch hunters were hunting evil professionals to remove unstable factors, but over time, it was inevitable that some people would associate the misfortunes that had befallen them with them, even if it was unfounded and unjustified.
But people often need is not a reasonable reason, not to find the real culprits, but a way to vent, and for this reason even go so far as to release the greatest malice in their hearts to the innocent, the big thing is to play deaf and dumb or apologize after the fact, after all, he is the innocent masses.
Continuing to hold the witch hunters responsible is not a good option in this situation.
The same goes for soldiers and officials, the only exception being religion.
For one thing, religion involves the aspect of faith, and for another, religion is not to be reasoned with, because God is everything.
Realizing this, Maya devoted a long discussion to Owen.
In terms of faith and religion, Owen had never neglected it, and when he first set up the Sanctuary, he had utilized the exclusionary nature of religion to keep the territory from experiencing problems with religious invasions.
But although the Sanctuary was established, but because of the special characteristics of the territory many issues simply do not need to consider too much, such as the issue of evangelism and piety, because at that time all the territories were systematically converted population, loyalty 100%.
But now, a large number of immigrants came in, causing the proportion of system converted population to no longer dominate, so the military, civil affairs, including religion, all need to be improved and perfected.
Many of these things Owen could not intervene, and he did not want to waste too much energy on these things, because he was now a god, the height he stood at, and the things he faced, were different from the past.
However, when it came to religion, he couldn’t just say nothing, so after considering it, he decided to take a page out of his book and give the witch hunters a religious veneer, that of nuns.
Owen decided to rename the witch hunts as the Sisters of the Sanctuary and, depending on their duties, they were categorized into the Sisters of Combat, the Sisters of Perpetual Night, the Sisters of the Holy Grail, the Sisters of the Oracle, and the Sisters of the Hymn.
Among them, the Combat Sisters specialized in combat, and Owen would have the research center research a set of power armor suitable for them, so that the nuns would also be able to participate in frontal battles, and because of the additional sanctuary of holy light, their combat power would not be much worse than the Thunder Closers. The Sisters of Eternal Night are just a layer of night-colored nuns’ robes over a black leather coat, their duties are similar to before, and their fighting style is also the same, but after being favored by the shadows and death, they are more capable of sneaking around, their strikes are even more bizarre, and they are able to guide the believers of the deaths to the Kingdom of God.
The Grail Sisters are not combatants, Owen plans to absorb some witches who specialize in magic potions and devout female followers, and they will take on the duties of medical treatment, removing curses, transcendence and sealing.
The Oracle Sisters, this group of nuns appeared because Owen did not want to waste the witch’s talent in prophecy, with his protection, the prophecies will be more accurate and have less repercussions, in addition, the Oracle Sisters will also be responsible for interpreting and recording history.
In Owen’s conception, through specific rituals, their spirit, magic power and faith will be linked together, so that they can play the role of one plus one is greater than two, that is to say, they can cast spells beyond the level.
Originally Owen thought that it would be the same as before, he only needed to propose a framework, and then someone would naturally be responsible for perfecting it, but the Sisterhood was far more complicated than he imagined, and it was really difficult for ordinary people to grasp it, not to mention perfecting it, and the Witch Hunt itself involved many aspects of the territory, and after it was changed to the Sisterhood, the complexity was not just a little bit more complicated, and even the bishops of the temple had a feeling that there was nowhere else to meddle with it. Not only does it involve the Holy Light Faith.
Almost scratching his head bald, Owen thought of a figure after hard thinking, and that was Joan of Arc.
The life of this peasant girl was legendary, and although she died young, it did not detract from the high regard in which she was held by later generations.
In Owen’s opinion, this girl in the military, politics, religion and other aspects of the extremely high talent, if you receive a better education, or live longer, accumulate more experience, and ultimately be able to achieve what kind of results is very difficult to predict, because she died too early.
Debuting at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was nineteen at the time of her death, and many people at her age had not yet completed their education, let alone changed the destiny of their country.
It’s safe to say that Jeanne was able to achieve amazing things in just a few short years, entirely because God was chasing after her to feed her, which shows how high her ceiling was.
Thinking about this, Owen became more and more moved and resolutely made up his mind.
The higher the upper limit of the progress value the harder it was to accumulate it, but when it was time to use it Owen wouldn’t hesitate, so this legendary maiden who had been canonized as a saintly maiden only five hundred years after her death appeared in the otherworld with it.
Jeanne d’Arc from the world of the Spirit of Valor, her appearance and figure are naturally nothing to speak of, but what impresses Owen the most is her temperament, innocence and tenacity, kindness and determination, this is the person who has great love in her heart, and who physically carries it out at the cost of her life.
“Lord.” Jeanne who opened her eyes faced Owen and kneeled down on one knee devoutly.
Thanks to the system character’s 100% loyalty to him, Jeanne’s faith transformation was without hesitation, and at the same time, she also showed her extraordinary talent in many fields.
When she was a teenager, she already had the ability to change the fate of the country, and this was still the mortal Jeanne d’Arc, the version that Owen summoned from the system was even more extraordinary, it was a spirit that had been reborn, and was therefore even more powerful.
Just because of the relationship of positioning, this one is more inclined to the meat suit commander, combat only a homo sapiens red lotus saint can be taken.
However, it wasn’t like Owen summoned her to be used as a warrior, and after binding her origin to the Golden Tree, where she could be resurrected after death, he let her go and familiarize herself with Maya’s operation of the territory to prepare for taking over the religion.
