The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1657 - 467: Strategic Shift_5

Once they point their swords at the Church, these rampant "rebels" will soon understand what truly is the "will of the people" and who constitutes the "people" of the "Thoughts of All".

Carian understood the deeper meaning in Colin's words, pondered for a moment, and said.

"You mean... the Church Court will interfere with us."

Luo Yan smiled faintly.

"To be precise, they have already arrived."

If it were ordinary people, they might have been scared out of their wits.

However, the reckless "Holy Maiden Carian" showed no fear at all, just blinked at her Lord God.

"Then, what do you think we should do?"

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said.

"Given the Judicial Court's historical tactics within the Imperial, I can't optimistically assume they would show leniency to you. You need to prepare for the worst."

"So we can only continue to resist, right?" Carian gently smiled and nodded, "No problem, as long as you wish, I am willing to fight against the Church Court for you."

Luo Yan looked at Carian unexpectedly.

He had been pondering how to tactfully persuade this simple village girl that the Church does not represent the Truth, the Pope is not equal to Saint Sith, and even the distortion of the Holy Word Book is not caused by the New Testament or others, but by those priests who disregard their followers.

However, it seems that this bright young lady might have long realized that she is no Divine Son; she trusted only Luo Yan as a person from the start.

This indeed saved him a lot of time.

Seeing the surprise on Mr. Colin's face, Carian blinked softly, a playful blush brushed across her serene and gentle face.

"I seemed to have surprised you, may I feel proud for a moment?"

"Of course... you may," Luo Yan, coming back to his senses, smiled and looked at her approvingly, "Your comprehension is high, seems I can teach you some advanced skills."

"That would be my honor." Carian slightly nodded, responded softly, and prepared to listen to the Oracle.

Looking at the "Holy Maiden" he had cultivated, Luo Yan pondered for a while and began to speak.

"The larger the organization, the more intricate the internal forces are; the Duchy is like this, the Kingdom is like this, and the Empire is also like this."

"To survive in the crevices, you must grasp the core pain points of different forces, identify their interest demands and mutual restraints, then unite any forces you can, making them work for you."

"At a strategic level, you also need to learn to move the organization from under the sunlight to the underground where sunlight cannot reach."

"Can you... elaborate?" Carian's face showed a puzzled expression, clearly unable to fully digest these words.

Luo Yan wasn't surprised by her reaction, which just showed she was pondering, limited only by her perspective for now.

He gave an example, and she soon understood.

"For instance, when I let you release Thelon Gard before. I can guess without looking that he must now be crying his grievances to Erin with snot and tears, begging the Campbell Duchy to send troops to help him reclaim the territory you occupied... before the Judicial Court arrives."

"But frankly, that fool is daydreaming. Even if Erin could deploy troops like a god and reclaim his territory within a minute, he couldn't possibly clean up the mess in the remaining days."

Indeed.

Just as he anticipated, the ingenious Carian instantly grasped the core of the issue, her bright eyes flashing with cunning brilliance.

"But we can do what Erin cannot, reclaim the territory for him within a minute and then use the next minute to clean up everything... Am I right?"

"Smart."

Luo Yan looked at Carian approvingly, as if looking at a crafty little fox, and continued to speak.

"The church inside the castle still stands, the priests and nuns are alive, compared to other places on this land, you are simply the model of devotion."

"Those who previously turned a blind eye to you compromised due to pressure; now, they're all your 'accomplices.' As long as you yourself are not caught by the Judicial Court, everyone will help you, because it's also for themselves."

"As for Count Thelon Gard, he is your mascot. If you want to retreat backstage, you need to push the lawful Lord to the front stage. The further the Judicial Court advances, the further you retreat. They will eventually leave here, and you will become ghosts that cannot be slain by sword."

Upon hearing this, Carian completely understood Lord Divine Son's meaning, revealing a knowingly smile.

Now, she was unsure about only one last thing.

"What if Thelon Gard refuses to cooperate?"

"He is a smart man; he will cooperate."

Luo Yan smiled slightly.

"If he is not smart, then find a smarter 'Gard.'"

The earliest aid to the Salvation Army from the Great Graveyard was not the Grenade Riders and Organ Cannon, but the intelligence personnel trained by Sarah.

That's not something to deal with the Green Forest Army.

He had long anticipated such a day, simply didn't expect it would arrive so soon.
